"Sir Reyna!" peekkik Lala while hugging Reyna and shed a very longing.
A round of tears just flowed from the girl's eyelids. His sobs signified how grateful he was to find an older brother who had disappeared without a trace. Someone who has been very meritorious to his life, who loves him like his biological brother. And after months of loose contact, they were finally reunited.
Reyna was silent, speechless about what was happening to her.
"Thank God, Mom. I finally found you!" lala said back on the sidelines of her crying.
A moment of silence and their activities stopped. All eyes looked in wonder at the two while wondering, what is going on between them?
Reyna looked towards Meilani, then muttered silently, "Why?" tanyanya's confused.
Meilani shook her head, signifying that she was ignorant as well.
Meilani who felt Lala's attitude was strange, finally tried to ask, "La-Lala ... You why, La?" tanyanya, while gently patting the back of Lala's shoulder.
Lala did not budge and still sobbed while hugging Reyna tightly. This meeting made Lala feel overwhelmed.
Praise be to Allah, Thou hast answered our prayers! I am grateful to be reunited with Reyna. Please reunite Reyna with Abiyu and Reynand! lala said in her heart.
Reyna rubbed Lala's back gently. "Well, what's the matter?" asked Reyna who was confused because of Lala's strange attitude towards her.
Slowly, Lala then unravels her embrace with Reyna. "Mister Reyna, where have you been all this time?" tanyakanya.
"What do you mean, Lala? I just went to Arif's clinic this afternoon, really!" said Reyna still confused by the question of the girl in front of him.
"Sir Reyna's been hiding here for what? Why didn't Reyna come home? Ma'am, aren't you the same Reynand and Mas Abi?!" Lala asked Reyna several questions at once.
"Hidden? Go home? Who were they you just called?" Reyna was getting clueless about what Lala was talking about.
"Will Reyna pretend not to know who I am?!" lala said with annoyed because Reyna even asked back the question that Lala made.
Reyna frowned at Lala's question saying she was faking it. "What do you mean say I'm pretending, La. I don't understand what you're talking about, I don't understand .. don't understand!" said Reyna while holding her head that felt throbbing.
"Sir Reyna!" pekik Meilani and Najwa at the same time when they saw Reyna holding her head, as if she was feeling pain from thinking too hard.
The two approached Reyna and led Reyna to sit in the waiting chair in the dining room.
Bu Salamah saw something strange from Lala's words, then he approached Lala. "What's really going on, son?"
Lala felt that there was something strange about Reyna's attitude towards her. Like it wasn't Reyna she'd known all along. Reyna actually considers Lala as like the person she just met this afternoon.
"Lala let's grab your food, then come with me! We eat first after that I will explain everything you want to know about Reyna ..," said Salamah.
"Good, Mom!" lala said then took her food.
After taking a meal, Lala followed Salamah to the kitchen. They ate there alone. They finished their food in a quiet atmosphere, with their own thoughts. After the food ran out, Salamah began to invite Lala to speak.
"Son, so you know Reyna?" ask Salamah gently.
"Yes, Mom. I used to live with Reyna, her husband and her son. And three months ago, when Reyna was about to drop off lunch at her husband's office. Since then, Reyna's mother did not return and disappeared without a trace" Lala said with sadness when recalling that time.
"Innalillahi, so that's the previous story about Reyna. Could Reyna have been kidnapped?" bu Salamah said.
"According to that, Mom. There is a woman who does not like the marriage of Mas Abi with mbak Reyna it seems. Until several times there were unpleasant events that continued to afflict their households."
"Lala, Reyna when we first found out she was dumped in the forest by two men, until finally found by son Fadhil and the students with severe injuries. Reyna's condition was very concerning at that time, he suffered a brain injury that was serious enough to cause Reyna to have amnesia" said Salamah explained.
"Amnesia!?" pekik Lala was very surprised. "Innalillahi, it's fitting that Reyna didn't recognize me and Abiyu mas, just now!"
"Is Abiyu Reyna's husband?" salamah asked Lala to know.
"Yes, Mom. Mas Abiyu is the husband of Reyna. This morning led me to sign up for this ponpes. Earlier this morning had crossed paths with Reyna's mother as well, but Reyna's mother did not recognize him. Mas Abiyu is a very kind person and very patient in loving mbak Reyna, Mom. I want them to be reunited in the future!" lala said she hoped kindness would be with the little family.
"Aamiinu. Where did you live before;?" tanya ma'am Salamah wants to make sure.
"We live in Yogya, Mom. However, at this time her husband stayed at a hotel around Ponpes, while waiting for news from me, the article mas Abi also suspected that the woman he had met with wearing a veil on the face was mbak Reyna, his wife."
"Well I will discuss this with ustadz Maulana and ustadz Fadhil first. You just go back to the princess cottage, don't push Reyna too much to remember her past. Let everything go slowly so that he is not depressed" said Salamah.
After that, Lala returned to the princess's cottage, while Salamah's mother came to the residence of the ustadz Maulana and told her everything she had heard from Lala. So here's something they know about the difference between the story Lala told and the one Cindy told. Now there are two versions of the story about Reyna's ambiguous past.
"How is this ustadz, both are equally convincing, we believe in which one?" tanya Bu Salamah asked for an opinion.
"We'd better invite the two tomorrow to come to the cottage and talk about the difference of opinion between the two. Because I also believe Cindy can't lie to me" said Ustadz Maulana.
