Falling in Love With Senior
Bitter Reality

A few months later...

That day Arka contacted Adi Widjaya. He told me that he was sick. And refused to be taken to the hospital. He just wanted to meet his children and grandchildren.

At that moment they rushed to the house. Melin was forced to come, because of the mother's request. Although he was actually reluctant to return to that house, because he had painful memories.

Awkward, yes of course. That was how he felt as Arka welcomed their arrival. How not?... This is the first time Melin met Arka back after the incident a few months ago.

Arka could not help but look at Melin. He watched Melin from top to bottom. Nothing changed, even Melin's stomach remained flat. In fact, you could say Melin is much thinner than the last time they met.

"It's true I didn't do anything that night" Arka thought.

"You healthy?" sapa Arka's. Melin simply replied with a nod.

They then went to the room, without Arka.

"Meliiin.." said eyang.

"Come, baby!" mama Yunita called out to her daughter who was standing the furthest away from the mattress.

Melin sat on the side of the bed. The thin, wrinkled hand suddenly grabbed Melin's hand.

"Excuse me, son." said eyang in a soft voice.

"Those who recover quickly, yes." Melin replied.

"Eyang willing not healed, even his eyes are sincere. But eyang had not calmed down, before saying it." said eyang again.

"What do you want, ma'am...?" ask mama Yunita.

"The one who's sorry." Eyang suddenly cried.

"That's..." Melin wiped her tears.

"Arka.., get him!" eyang's edith.

Shortly afterwards Arka entered the room.

"I'm sorry eyang. Who set you up that night."

That shocking confession made Melin's hand suddenly limp. He removed his hand from his hand. He got up from his seat.

"Eyang wants you to divorce Reihan, and marry Arka.." she cried. "Those who mix sleeping pills in your drinks at dinner."

Melin was crying in her mother's arms. He felt very disappointed with the eyes.

Arka also wanted to be angry at that time, but did she deserve to be angry at the old granny who was lying helplessly?!...

Arka could only choke because of her annoyance.

Same with papa Adi. His hands were already clenching restraining his anger. The mother-in-law's actions have destroyed the future of her children. Makes her lose her proud daughter-in-law.

"Sorry.." That's the last word he said, before closing his eyes.

"Mother...!!!" mama Yunita.

No matter how bad the old woman was, she was still the birth mother of mama Yunita. Mama Yunita is very sad because she lost her mother.

That afternoon was also buried. As everyone prepared to deliver the dead body to its final resting place. Melin chose to stay in her room. I have absolutely no desire to go with others.

The night after the show send do'a. Mama Yunita met her daughter in the room.

"Mel..., in the name of Eyang, mama apologizes to you yes.." mama Yunita hugged Melin while crying.

Melin was crying at the time.

"Is it sorry it can bring everything back, maa...? Can I go back to Rei's brother...?" sahut Melin's.

Mama Yunita was silent.

"Tell me, mama...!!" the screams sounded so embarrassing.

"Can, baby. Mama sure can." answered her mother optimistically, though her voice trembled. "I'm sorry, son...!"

"Why is that such a thing, mama...? Why...?!" whine Melin.

......................

After seven days of death. Everyone went back home, except for Mama Yunita. He'll take care of some things there.

Later that night, Melin comes to Bian's uncle's house to meet Reihan.

"Would you like to come here?" the reception was very cold, even though the one who welcomed him was not a stranger.

"I want to see Rei's sister, aunt." replied Melin.

"He doesn't live here anymore. So please get out of my house!" get rid of aunt Nurma.

"Where does Brother Rei live now, bi?" ask Melin again.

"I won't tell you. Because I don't want you back to mess with Reihan's life. And make Reihan difficult." he answered with a sniffle.

"I'm sorry you said?!" aunt smiled in oblique fashion.

"Now you're sorry. Then tomorrow you hurt Reihan again. That's what you want, huh?!!" bentak aunty.

"Indeed Reihan shouldn't have married a boy like you. Who can't think grown up." auntie sneered.

Melin could only cry without a sound to hear all of Nurma's aunt's words.

"No need to sit here, miss. Better just go home!!" aunt kicked Melin out again.

"Sister..." Lily suddenly came out.

"Shut up there!" ali Nurma's. "He's not your brother anymore."

"Go, miss! Reihan is happy now, don't ever bother him again!"

Aunt Nurma pushed Melin's body, and she shut the door. Aunty's tears are dripping. He grabbed onto Lili's tiny body to hug her.

"Oh Allah." she cried that night.

It was aunty Nurma who had to do that. Because he didn't want his nephew to suffer anymore from being in contact with Melin.

Getting treated like that made Melin very sick. But he did not have the courage to defend himself. Because he thinks he deserves to be treated that way. After his selfishness at that time. Where she won't listen to Reihan. Rejecting all solutions from Reihan. And stick to his decision to end their sacred bond. No matter how Reihan feels.

Melin opened the car door, she entered lazily while wiping away her tears.

"Miss is okay?" ask uncle Lukman.

"Go home now, sir" he said, leaning his head against the windshield.

From a distance looks a motorcyclist who has turned on the lights to his left.

"Melin's car..."

That man is Reihan. He just got home teaching private lessons. The motor then turned into a narrow alley to go to his house.

"Auntie, why aunt?" ask Reihan.

"Ah, no." aunt wiped the rest of her tears. "You've come home. Already eaten?" ask aunt Nurma.

"It was the same Nathan" he said. "Bi, was there a guest?" ask Reihan.

"Nothing" replied the aunt. "Auntie take Lili to the room first, yes." aunt got out of the chair, and carried Lili to her room.

"Why is aunt crying...? And that car.., aaah.., I really can't forget you, Mel...!!"

......................

That morning on campus, when Reihan exited the motor park area. He accidentally met Anya.

"Tumben's here yet?" ask Anya.

"You're the one who's part of the time." Reihan replied.

"Oh yeah?!" Anya looked at her watch. "Yes, too, yeah..." Anya laughs.

"Bareng can't...?!" Anya deliberately teased him.

"Em." Reihan said.

"I'll assume yes." Anya did not hesitate to go hand in hand with Reihan.

They also walked to the main lobby while chatting casually.

Without them noticing, there was a pair of eyes that were watching them. That person is Melin.

Melin didn't give up after that night. He decided to go to Reihan's college. According to him it was the most possible place for him to meet Reihan. And he'll tell Reihan everything.

Honey, the reality was just beyond Melin's expectations. How shocked Melin was, when she found Reihan entering the main lobby along with Anya. They seem more familiar. I don't know what they're talking about, so Anya's smile looks cheerful.

Seeing that made Melin believe the words of Aunt Nurma that night.

"So this is your happiness now, brother. Alright. I won't bother you anymore."

Melin's tears just escaped.

"What kind of destiny is this, Lord...?! How painful...!!!"

Then he heard someone suddenly knocking on his car's glass. She is a Flower. When she found out about it, Melin wiped her tears quickly. Then start the engine of the car, and gas into the exit.

"Woih...!!" exclaim Flowers.

"I'm sure it's Melin's car that Reihan used to drive. The one inside must be Melin. Has he come back...?!"

Flowers then moved away from the place, letting Melin's car pass by.
