Afrizal and Bu Ayu are now sitting in a cafe after delivering Zafira first. Both were silent for quite a while. They are busy with their own thoughts. They really did not expect to be reunited after so many years did not meet.
"Yes, how are you?" asked Afrizal who started to open his voice.
"As you can see, I'm much better now. Even very, very good." Bu Ayu replied with a faint smile. Afrizal who when young put the taste of his former lover superiors was bowed with a racing heart. He did not expect, after so many years of not meeting, that feeling was still there. "How are you? Are you still working with that guy?"
Afrizal raised his face and nodded, "yes, I'm fine too. And yes .. I'm still working with him. Yu, if I may know, where have you been all this time? Why did you suddenly disappear? Then are you married now? Ah, sorry, if my question is too much" Afrizal said, scratching his non-itchy nape.
Bu Ayu smiled thinly, with a look of laughter made Afrizal confused to see Bu Ayu's response. Remembering the past is like opening old wounds of Bu Ayu. Wounds that never heal even though the years keep changing. The patriarch is strong in the recesses of his heart and soul. So impregnated that it made him so hate that pair of wicked men.
"I didn't disappear, but someone wanted to kill me."
Afrizal's eyes were rounded with what Bu Ayu had just said.
The flashback
Ayu is a pretty girl from a pretty distinguished family. His mother died when he was 15. At the age of 17, his father remarried a widow named Lastri.
Long story short, the girl named Ayuningtyas had a lover who was his senior in college. His girlfriend, Marwan Prayogo, is also an operations manager at YG Group. Marwan is a handsome and romantic man. Not infrequently he asked his subordinate, Afrizal to take him, sometimes sending him flowers and small gifts to make him love his lover more.
Until exactly one year of their relationship, Ayu also invited Marwan to the house to be introduced to his parents. With a face full of happy twinkle, Ayu also introduced Marwan with his father and stepmother. Not forgetting his stepbrother. Without her thinking, that day would be the beginning of all the disasters in her life. Good intentions to introduce a lover with his family actually ended with an affair between the lover and his stepbrother.
In front of him, they seemed to behave normally, but who would have thought, behind him, Marwan and Liliana had an illicit relationship. All was revealed when Liliana was caught pregnant and Liliana admitted that the father of the child in the womb was Marwan.
Ayu's heart was shattered. He was hurt and disappointed, not expecting that his lover had cheated on him with his stepbrother. He also did not expect, the woman who often behaved sweetly in front of him actually stabbed him from behind.
Not wanting more heartache to see the togetherness of Marwan and Liliana who finally married, Ayu also chose to leave her own home. At first his father refused, but at the insistence of Lastri who said what Ayu did was probably the best, finally his father let go of his only daughter.
Until 3 years passed, feeling his heart was better, Ayu who had missed her father was finally back. Without realizing it, his return this time will actually be the source of the greatest disaster in his life. The pain of his heart that had dampened it became and flared into hatred and also revenge.
"Hi Yu, how are you?" marwan asked as he saw Ayu's whereabouts at her in-laws' house. At that time everyone was away, there was only Ayu and her domestic assistant who were busy with her work.
Ayu rolled her eyeballs off guard, "as you can see, I'm good. Even very well," said Ayu at the time.
"You still mad at me, Yu?"
"You think?"
"I'm sorry, Yu. Really, I actually had no intention of cheating but Liliana who always met me and gave me attention washed me away to make that mistake. Honestly, I still love you so much, baby."
"Stop bragging. I don't care what you say anymore."
"But Yu, I mean it. I still love you so much and I intend to come back to you. You want to come back to me? I'm sure you still love me!"
"love you? After what you did behind my back? You think I'm stupid to still love a jerkk like you?"
"Well, how about we get married secretly?" Marwan was still muddled by his wishes.
"Are you crazy? You think I want to?" jakak Ayu who started to carelessly talk to Marwan.
Hearing the answer, Marwan immediately stood up and ruffled his waist, "yes I'm crazy. I'm crazy for still loving you, but you just chose to leave without listening to my explanation!" sentak Marwan wrath.
"What's the explanation, huh? What else do you want to explain? Everything's clear, you're having an affair behind my back, you think I still want to be with a man who's clearly betrayed my trust?" jakak Ayu who has also ruffled the waist.
...***...
"Mama, papa .. "sounding screams echoed making Ayu who was wrapped in a blanket wriggling slowly. Feeling something warm is holding it until it feels so felt in his skin makes Ayu's eyes blink.
Suddenly he rounded his eyes when he saw who was lying next to him making Ayu jump from her bed.
"Relse ... Marwan ... Why ... " muttered Ayu with a face full of confusion.
"Well, Marwan, what have you done, huh?" the snapping of thunderous sounds made Ayu round her eyes with a pounding heart. Just now Ayu wanted to get off the bed, instantly her eyes widened when she realized she was not wearing a single thread. His eyes immediately looked at Marwan who was also trying to get off the bed with only his bokser pants. His heart was pounding as he felt something unusual in his core area.
"Well, I don't know I was wrong for taking Marwan's mas from you, but this is not the way to get back your heartache. Why are you evil, Yu, you have the heart. Don't you think what about the fate of your little niece? Didn't I apologize, but why? Why are you even doing this? I'm sure you framed Marwan. Though Marwan came here to apologize to you in a good way, but this seems to be how you repay us. You're so outrageous, Yu. Hiks .. hiks .. hiks ... " Liliana was crying in Lastri's arms.
"Well, you know, Liliana's mistake was pretty fatal, but should you avenge your heartache for framing your sister's husband?" lirih Lastri while sobbing.
"Ma, pa, I never set up Marwan's sister. Quite the contrary, I was the one who was framed. Don't misunderstand me!" sergeant Ayu tried to give an explanation.
"No ma, pa, honey, I never did that. I came here purely to apologize, but I don't know what Ayu put into my drink, suddenly I lost control and .. and ... I'm sorry ma, pa, honey, I never intended to do this. No matter how I realized, we already have Refano, where I might betray you after you gave birth to my son," Marwan said, creating a fire of anger that filled Ayu's chest cavity.
"Shut your mouth, you son of a bitch! I never put anything in your drink." Sent Ayu with a glare of his guts.
"Shut your mouth, you son of a bitch. So this is your goal to come home? You want revenge with your own brother."
"Pa, papa doesn't believe in Ayu? Ayyu ... I'm not lying, Pa. Ayyu ... "
"Pa, since I've already done the forbidden thing with Ayu, let me take responsibility by marrying her," Marwan's sergeant made everything there round his eyes.
"NO!" Sentak Ayu and Liliana together.
"I don't want to marry a prank like you!" sentak Ayu wrath.
"I won't allow you to marry Ayu either. What will people say if you marry my sister," Liliana said with a mouthful.
"Liana, we have no other way, son. There's no way we're just gonna let Ayu go after what they did."
"But pa ... "
"I don't want to marry Marwan's sister, pa. Anyway, no, still not." Raung Ayu with a dead red face.
"Well, inevitably have to obey the word papa! Or if not ... please leave this house forever!" Snapping Ayu's father did not lose his wrath.
"So ... Papa would rather throw me away, would you? Alright. I'm gonna go. I'd rather go than be the wife of a scoundrel like her!" sis Ayu who immediately shuffled from there to get into the bathroom. Although he had to make a great effort, he still tried to move his feet leaving behind the four people who had incised deep wounds in his heart.
