Caught in the Love of the Past
Chapter 42

"Where are you going?" asked Mr. Arif after he was in front of Fitri.

"That's none of your business, sir," replied Fitri trying to be brave.

"You can't go." Mr. Arif is blocking Fitri from leaving.

"There's no reason for me to obey your orders, sir." This time Fitri tried to argue.

Whether he got the courage from where, Fitri against the words of his father-in-law.

Mr. Arif was shocked to see Fitri's attitude, not usually his daughter-in-law denied him.

Mr. Arif emotionally saw Fitri who denied. The middle-aged man pulled Fitri and Fitri's hand to enter the house.

Reyhan did not stay silent, he got out of the car, then approached Fitri.

"Hey, old man!" reyhan was upset.

Reyhan could not accept seeing the woman he loved being hurt right in front of him.

Mr. Arif stopped his steps, he was still clutching tightly the hand of the son-in-law.

Fitri grimaced with pain due to the grip of Mr. Arif is so strong.

"Take him off!" reyhan was full of anger.

The eyes of Reyhan radiated so much anger at Mr. Arif that had hurt Fitri.

Mr. Arif was surprised to get a clash from a man he had never met at all, but the middle-aged man still tried to save his fear.

"Who are you? How dare you yell at me?" snapped Pa Arif with a trembling voice.

"You don't need who I am, which is clear I want to protect Fitri from your dzholim deeds against him" Reyhan said firmly.

With great difficulty Fitrie broke free from the middle-aged man's grip.

Fitri dodges and hides behind Reyhan.

"Dare you hurt her again, I'll call the police" Reyhan threatened.

Finally, Mr. Arif relented, he no longer tried to hold Fitri.

At this time he did not know where the foreign man would take his son-in-law, he would tell his son after Dimas came from the garden later.

Reyhan leads Fitri into the car, then he gets into the car after making sure Fitri and Rasya are safe.

Afterwards, Reyhan drives his car away from Dimas's parents' home.

Some residents saw the incident.

"Eh, Fitri who's going with that?" ask the mothers A.

"No idea, how to know the affair of Fitri who was said Dimas at that time," said Mothers B responded to the words of his friend.

"It's only natural that Fitri chose to live with the man, richer," Mothers A chimed in.

"Yes too, anyway. Lha Dimas is already kere, his behavior is not right anyway," said the Mother B.

The two of them are also busy gossiping about Dimas and Fitri after Reyhan's car is no longer visible.

"Alhamdulillah, finally I can be separated from the Dimas family," said Fitri after Reyhan's car passed the border of the village where Dimas' parents lived.

Reyhan smiled with relief at the face of Fitri who had been tense now he had started to smile.

Fitri clenched tightly onto her little Princess' body tightly.

"Thank you, O Allah," muttered Fitri inwardly.

"Hopefully with this we can live better" Reyhan said.

"Yes, Rey. I'm going to start a new life without Dimas in my life" Fitri said.

"Are you going to get divorced from her?" reyhan asked Fitri.

Fitri turned to look at the handsome young man who was still focusing on driving his car.

"Mmm, I don't know. I should have done so that he would no longer have the right to restrain me" Fitri replied honestly.

"If you need help, I'll always be there to help you" Reyhan said, offering to help the woman he still loves.

"Thank you, Rey. I've been troubling you" Fitri said.

Fitri can see clearly, that the man who is with him at this time still holds a sense of himself, almost the same as himself who also keeps happy memories of his past love.

"I'm sorry, Rey" said Fitri, feeling guilty for leaving Reyhan a few years ago and marrying Dimas.

"You're not wrong, Fit." Reyhan stopped his car at a restaurant.

He was very hungry because he had not had time to eat.

"We eat first, yes," Reyhan said.

Fitri nodded in agreement, they got out of the car.

Rasya holding Fitri's hand, when Reyhan had walked parallel, Rasya grabbed Reyhan's hand and took the hand of a man who had made him comfortable, much different from his biological father.

Fitri and Reyhan throw each other a glance. Their hearts were pounding, there was a similar taste to the past they had once passed through.

"What do you want to eat?" reyhan asked Fitri.

"Mhm, what do you eat, huh?" lirih Fitri is confused.

Fitri's eyes were fixed on the menu listed on the restaurant wall.

"I am nasi soto aja," replied Fitri.

"What would you eat?" reyhan asked the little girl.

"Mhm," muttered Rasya confusedly.

"Rasya is alone with me, afraid even not to end with him, redundant," replied Fitri.

"Oh, yeah." Reyhan waved his hand calling the waiter.

The waiter approached them after seeing Reyhan's hand.

"Yes, Bang. What do you want to order?" ask the waiter.

"Soto rice 2, yes," Reyhan replied.

"All right, wait a minute, Bang," said the waiter.

Suddenly Reyhan and Fitri feel awkward, they re-remember the memories that have graced their lives.

Not long after, the ordered food arrived.

They eat soto rice with voraciously, Reyhan has been used to stop at this restaurant, the food in the restaurant always fills Reyhan's stomach when traveling to his village.

Fitri eats the soto in front of her while feeding Rasya.

"Mother, I'm full. I want some ice cream" Rasya said, pointing to the ice cream refrigerator next to the cashier.

"Mhm, finish the soto rice first," said Fitri.

"I want some ice cream" whined Rasya again.

Reyhan sees Fitri who keeps trying to persuade her daughter.

Reyhan had just finished eating soto rice on his plate.

"Rasya wants ice cream, let's go with om" Reyhan asked as he stood up.

"But,-"

Reyhan ignored Fitri's words he grabbed the little girl's hand and took her to the refrigerator containing various kinds of ice cream.

Inevitably Fitri was forced to let Rasya go along with the kind man.

"Thank you, Om," said Rasya, pulling Reyhan's shirt down.

Rasya landed a kiss on the cheek of a man who was almost the same age as his real father.

After they ate, they resumed their journey towards their village.

Fitri felt anxious for a moment, she was afraid that this could cause illness for her father.

He clutched his chest, trying to breathe in slowly before he got off Reyhan's car which was now parked in front of Fitri's parents' house.

Seriate...
