Caught in the Love of the Past
Chapter 10

Fitri was stunned to see the figure of Reyhan who is now in his subscription store, he did not know what the former lover did in the store.

The mother of one child also immediately covered her face, she chose a rather hidden place so that she did not meet the ex.

"Fitri, what are you looking for?" ask the store owner managed to surprise Fitri who was hiding.

"Mhm, i-it, sir. Sa-i ma-mau order a closet," replied Fitri nervously as she glanced at the handsome man whose appearance was now much neater than when the man became her lover.

The handsome man is now seen choosing some furniture in the Fitri subscription store, one of the children of the store owner who is now serving him.

"Oh, would you like to order a closet? Which one do you want?" ask Mr. Treasure, the shop owner.

"As usual, sir. This time for boys already at the level of Junior High," replied Fitri.

"Oh, this is a new model. Let's see first," said Pak Harta while taking Fitri to the hallway part of several cabinets on display.

Fitri took Rasya and stepped in the footsteps of Pak Harta. Occasionally Fitri glanced at the handsome man who was now choosing a table, Fitri rushed to step so that Reyhan did not see him.

The mother-of-one was afraid to meet her ex, because she did not want her domestic relationship with Dimas to get messy.

"There are two male motives and the model is different from the previous one." Pak Harta shows the latest collection of cabinets in her shop.

"Mhm, which one, huh?" gumam Fitri hesitated to choose 2 cabinets in front of him.

The wardrobe was full of sights and the characters of the children were now standing in front of him.

"I'll choose this one, sir. Most of his children have grown up, he certainly does not like the character of these children," said Fitri while pointing to a wardrobe patterned scenery.

"Mother, I want this cupboard," whined Rasya while pointing at the closet patterned Frozen, the character of the princess of today.

Fitri smiled, she crouched her face to match her little girl.

"Honey, mom will buy whatever you want, but wait for you to have a lot of money, son." The mother-of-one rubbed gently on her little girl's cheeks.

He tried to persuade Rasya not to fuss at the store.

"Yes, we will take you to your village, we will confirm when the goods are on their way," said Pak Harta.

"Thank you, sir," Fitri said.

"Together" said the Treasure.

"Fitri," Reyhan said as he looked at the figure of the woman who had been his lover.

Fitri was shocked when she heard the voice of the man she had been avoiding now calling her name.

Slowly Fitri turned his head towards the handsome man whose appearance was much different from 5 years ago.

"Common, Rey....Han," said Fitri while forcing a thin smile.

"You're here?" reyhan asked astonished to see Fitri's whereabouts were in the village where he was now assigned.

Since parting ways with Fitri, Reyhan has attended a package study program to earn a Junior High School diploma, after which he applied for a job at a company.

No need for a long process, Reyhan was accepted easily because the company leader had seen Reyhan's habit of always helping an old woman who sold not far from his company.

"I-iya," said Fitri while scratching her non-itchy head.

"What are you doing here?" ask Reyhan curiously.

Reyhan did not expect to meet his former lover in his new place of duty.

"I-I want to buy a closet" replied Fitri honestly.

"Do you live here?" ask Reyhan.

Fitri nodded slowly.

"I'm sorry, I came first" Fitri said.

Reyhan is curious about Fitri's whereabouts.

"Sir, I'll come back later" Reyhan said.

The handsome man got into his car. Slowly he followed the motorcycle driven by the ex-lover.

Fitri stopped his motorcycle right in front of his rented house. He went into the house without realizing it a pair of eyes continued to pay attention to Fitri's movements.

After the mother of one child entered the house, she immediately changed her clothes.

Fitri remembered the clothes that were not dry yesterday, he came out of the house and dried the clothes.

Reyhan saw clearly what his former lover did, his heart was broken when he saw the woman he had loved living with difficulty.

The pain now slipped in his heart, wanting him to help the woman who was still loyal to fill the niche of his heart, but he was aware that Fitri had become the wife of people.

Reyhan returns his car leaving Fitri's rented house.

When Fitri was about to enter the house, he saw Reyhan's car as soon as his heart beat fast.

He was stunned to see the car getting further and disappeared from his sight.

"I'm sorry, Rey. I can't linger talking to you" Fitri murmured inwardly.

"Allah forgive this self that still there is a sense in men who are clearly not husband slaves," said Fitri felt sinful.

Since meeting Reyhan earlier in the Pak Harta store, Fitri's mind recalls the good times they had spent together.

"Astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah." Fitri continued to beristighfar to re-stabilize his heart.

Reyhan stopped at a stall not far from Fitri's house.

He purposely drinks coffee, hoping he gets information about Fitri at the stall.

"What do you want to order, Bang?" ask the shop owner.

"Coffee, Bang," Reyhan replied.

"Wait a minute, yeah," said the shop owner.

He also made a cup of coffee for Reyhan.

"New guy huh, Bang?" ask one of the shop visitors when Reyhan is waiting for his order.

"Oh, I was passing by, I happened to be sleepy, so I stopped by for a moment just to relieve drowsiness," Reyhan replied looking for an excuse so that his presence in the village was not suspected by the villagers.

"Oh, our pantesan has never seen Abang," said Yanto, a friend of Dimas who was also in the stall.

"Yes, Bang," said Reyhan with a friendly smile.

"Here, Bang," said the shop owner, putting a cup of coffee in front of Reyhan.

"Thank you" Reyhan said.

"Eh, Yan. I heard Fitri was cheating, so that night Dimas slept in front of Susi's shop." Udin who likes to gossip began to open the topic of conversation in the stall.

"Ah, know where you are, Din?" ask Yanto wonder.

It was easy for Udin to get a hot topic of conversation in their village.

"That is, this has become an open secret in this village," Udin replied with a passionate enthusiasm.

"Oh, but it would be nice that we don't have to indulge it here," Yanto's advice doesn't like.

Seriate...
