The sound of the bell from the outside door made Ayu pause her activity. His forehead frowned, just half an hour ago Kevin was bouncing home and now...
Rushing Ayu got up from the dining chair and checked on the guests who came. When the door in front of him was revealed Ayu was so surprised. In front of him had stood the figure of Akram who was not only alone, there was a little boy in his carriage.
"Father to—" Ayu's words instantly came to a halt as Akram smiled knots then looked at the face of the little boy in his carry.
"Greet Aunt Ayu first," he gave the order by directing the little boy's arm to be thrust at Ayu.
With a doubtful motion Ayu received a helping hand then displayed a stiff smile.
"Can we come in?" said Akram when silent long enough after greeting Nagita.
"Ten—certain Sir. Please come in," said Ayu shifted to give access to the road to Akram.
After both sitting in the living room chair, then Ayu made a sound. But actually confused by what he was about to say and just remembered that he had not prepared a drink for his guests. For that Ayu was about to rise from his establishment and said, "I make a drink first."
"No need, do not bother because here we are only for a moment," said Akram who inevitably made Ayu back land on the sofa chair.
"Include me, too, this is my daughter. His name is Nagita," said Akram answered Ayu's curiosity. There was a shock from his eyes, but Akram had not finished speaking. "And here I actually have another meaning. There's someone who wants to meet you" he continued.
"Who?" sahut Ayu who despite not making a sound, his lips moved to mention the word.
"Later you'll know."
***
Half an hour's drive from his apartment to where he came to now Ayu's mind was not focused.
Akram makes no secret of who he wants to meet, even Akram tells the true events that increasingly make guilt coiled in him.
Vina's remark that she was in good condition was just to calm her heart. Because behind it is precisely what experienced Vina worse. Because after he left the club before the contract expired, Vina was the one who acted as collateral.
Ayu could not imagine what bad events experienced by Vina, and glanced towards the front seat beside Akram, Nagita— cried Ayu was no longer able to be dammed. With two palms he has now used to cover part of his face with a body that vibrates violently muffle his cries.
"Everything has passed, just live what happened" said Akram as soon as the car was parked on the basement floor.
Ayu has been able to control her a little, then memahuti Akram's speech. "If I hadn't left the club all of a sudden, maybe Vina's fate would have been much better."
"And of course I would never have met Vina if you weren't there. Already, everything has been outlined. So is the presence of Nagita," said Akram turned to his daughter who had fallen asleep a few minutes ago.
They were both still silent in the car with their own thoughts.
Turning around the side of the car, Akram then opens the car door next to where Nagita falls asleep. And began to slowly lift and hold the little boy, putting Nagita's head on his shoulder.
Entering the elevator Akram cleared his throat for a moment and began to voice his intentions and goals to bring Ayu here. Because not necessarily bring them together but also actually Akram wants something from Ayu.
"I have a request for you" Akram said, turning to Ayu.
I returned Akram's gaze. "What's that?" sahut Ayu with a cautious heart.
"As long as I am not in Singapore, if there is free time, please take care of Vina," said Akram with a serious face full of plea.
Sontak Ayu immediately nodded in agreement. "Of course, sir, I will be happy to take care of Ms. Vina. Or if I need to stay here."
Akram. "Vina doesn't like being over-supervised. But I only worry about him when I don't match him. It's so hard to convince him to go home."
Observing Akram who was bowing his head, very visible look of despair. Ayu began to understand what was seen before her eyes. Without saying anything Akram cared so much and wanted to take care of Vina. And this is where he just got the answer to a figure loved by Akram, Vina Mbak.
The elevator they were using had now reached the floor of Akram's apartment. Located at the end of the row and right in front of the elevator door, Akram immediately pressed the passcode.
There was Santi who greeted the friendly when Ayu entered the apartment room, while waiting for Akram who had taken a short break to lay down Nagita, Ayu's gaze circulated throughout the room. In his heart he felt impatient to meet Vina, and he also imagined what would happen next. Of course Ayu's heart felt longed, because how dark Vina—'s life remained Vina is a good person in her eyes. A person who has done well in his life.
"Already, Come," said Akram after closing the door of the room that a few minutes ago he entered, and now he walked towards the room located at the end and of course followed by Ayu.
Akram knocked on the door twice, shrieked from inside and immediately they both came in.
Surprised not only experienced Vina who had leaned half her body on the bed board, but so did Ayu.
Ayu's body immediately nailed. Where is the synthetic body that he had once seen, then flawless smooth skin coupled with the beautiful face owned by Vina that Ayu once glanced.
Ayu stared in disbelief at Vina's figure before her eyes, and by dragging footsteps that seemed difficult to move due to too shocked of the state of someone he saw— finally Ayu cried forcing a step and immediately rushed to embrace the body of Vina who was only wrapped in skin.
"Mbak—," Ayu is not strong to continue he said. Crying and holding Vina tightly. "Why is this so? Mbak why? Ma said it was fine. But—" Ayu loosened her embrace and slightly withdrew to look at Vina who was looking at her with a gaze that she was very familiar with. Flat and cynical. But not so for Ayu.
"You are even more beautiful," said Vina did not sound praising but sounded cynical, but coupled with the corner of the lips are pulled upwards. He was happy, yes Vina was happy to see Ayu who looked different. From the ugly duckling into a goose that has now appeared beautiful and charming.
