Her.. A Choice For Me
TARNISHED

The next morning.

Mahen felt guilty when he woke up this morning and read the message Naya sent him last night. He did not immediately reply her when her lover was in need of her. After the morning prayer he tried to call Naya, hoping to talk to her to relieve Mahen's anxiety. There was a ringing of the connecting tone across there that long sounded waiting to be lifted by its owner.

" Ashalamu'alaikum.. Honey, I'm sorry I slept at 1 in the morning, I just slept so I didn't hear you call.. How was this morning? is it better? ". Mahen asked in a row after his call was connected.

" Wa'alaikumussalam, I'd like to skip college. I couldn't sleep last night, just got to bed this morning but Abah Daritadi came in and out of my room, seemed to want to talk to me something important this morning. Is brother back yet? ". Naya answered with a distinctive hoarse voice of waking up.

" I want to see you again when you just wake up. sexy anyway.. Don't skip it the longer we get married, baby.. What time is the study? if possible before I return this afternoon, we go to Ummi's grave first yuk ". Take Mahen along and he wants to talk about Naya's dream last night.

" At 8 to 10 this morning his recitation. I want to take another shower, keep talking to Abah first. According to Brother, I'm good at telling you? ".

" Hem, say his bath here makes me want to take a shower.. Dear story, who knows Abah just needs a hint from you.. I'll pick you up at 10 ".

" Basic pervert.. Don't pick it up, I'm with Amir to go. Meet you there ". Reply Naya while hanging up her phone.

" Take care honey ". Habit, not yet finished talking, has been playing break up. Iiiihhh.. Mahen started to mess around again.

Rey, who saw her boss so early, could only shake her head while enjoying her hot coffee this morning, looking at the traffic from the edge of their window.

" Nduk, here's breakfast ". Call Abah when you see her daughter coming out of the room.

" Amah what do you want to talk to me about? ". Tanya naya after she sat down at the dinner table while filling her plate with fried rice and her favorite side dish.

" You're not in college? last night said Amir, did you scream, have another nightmare or see something again? ". Ask Abah.

" I skipped today, went to ummi's grave and went straight to work.. Are you Amir with a cry? these few days I was indeed a nightmare, as if my memories that were lost 3 years ago were slowly reappearing... Ummi, not just an ordinary accident, but there is someone who holds a grudge against him. Abah, sorry Naya, did Abah have enemies in the past? ". Tanya Naya investigated every expression of her brother's face that changed frequently.

" the............... Abah doesn't understand what that means. What enemies and who? there are sales people who do not like to sell. But if you want to harm to m-bu-nuh, Abah think it is not possible, Be careful later so slander because you do not have evidence, it could be even you later accused of back nduk ". Abah's heart was actually not calm, he had tried to accept the death of his wife. But if the reality of the departure of the wife as expressed by Naya, will she face it later?

" Can I go to a psychologist again? ".

" Make it any more? we've calmed down, ummi you too. Don't fuck around. The recitation will begin, you change your clothes there, wear hijab nduk, obligatory it, the commandment is Allah, not Abah you know ". Pinta Abah later.

" Let Naya quickly have a good answer about Naya donk's memory, Bah... Hem, I'll wear a hijab later, if I'm ready ". Naya intends to wear the hijab when she is married later, her inner self.

" The destiny of God is sometimes not necessary for us to find out, just simply accept, redho will his decree :

Allahumma inni as'aluka nafsan bika. (O Allah, I ask You for a quiet soul).

Tu'minu billiqo-ik. (who is sure to meet you).

Wa tardho bii. (The Redho with your decree).

Wataqna'u bii atho - i . (And feel enough with Your gift).

When are you ready? the intention is established, implemented, forced. Gini is the result of being compared to your ummi ". Abah advised Naya at length this morning.

" Neither Abah, Naya will take Abah's message ". Naya replied slightly indifferently as she continued to chew her food.

" Don't date nduk. Introduce Abah if anyone wants to be serious with you, do not be dem-diem road behind Abah. You think Abah doesn't know? ". Finally Abah expressed his suspicions to this girl. According to his man, his daughter had a close male friend and this man placed several bodyguards around his employer's child so that he often had trouble knowing his activities.

" Uhuk.. Uhuk "'s ". Naya is taken aback by Abah.

" who? which guy? ". Asked slowly, he realized he had spent a lot of time with his daughter so he did not really understand how to open Naya to him without feeling afraid.

" Nobody. Just friends, not more ". I'm sorry, I didn't dare admit to you in front of Abah. His heart felt guilty.

" Be careful nduk. He's the one who speaks like him. If ummi you know, have been told to marry you this behavior so ".

" Mboten Abah, Naya ain't assortment. In shay Allah Naya knows her limits ". Yeaaay, ummi already know ko Bah, Abang has met Ummi. Hihi, Inner Naya cheered.

An interesting morning chat for Naya, it had been a long time since the two of them had engaged in such a warm conversation. Abah is not stiff towards her, this is how happy Naya is. But he was determined to still go to the psychologist to return to therapy so that his memory intact again.

After the home show was over, Naya left with Amir and the two of them separated at a crossroads. Ka Amir headed to the bank which was located near the Mall of Naya's workplace, while he was going to his ummi tomb with Mahen, Mahen, her car is seen waiting for Naya across the street with Rey opening the backseat door for her.

" Rey Street ". Mahen's orders after Naya enters.

" Abah knows about Brother ".

" Good donk, I'm at home all the way home ". Mahen looked excited.

" No, first. My business is not finished. College, work, kept my memories and more ". Naya thinks there's still a lot she hasn't done.

" A lot of people get married while still in college.. I can also go back and forth until you graduate right, then we move on ".

" moved? if I don't want to? ". Naya wants to know how Mahen will react, if she is willing to give up her position there and move to this small town starting all from scratch with her.

" Yeah I moved, right? I can work anywhere ". Mahen countered Naya's challenge.

" Hmmm, sorry boss... You serious? ". Rey interrupted their conversation.

" Diiaammm Mr. Rey, Rey....! ". Answer them both together.

" Okay sorry Miss, Boss ". Geez, upset couple syndrome, just wanted a cold war. Rey grumbling. The rest of their journey was spent with debate that was not quality. At least that's the conclusion Rey got, her ears instantly caught the sweet words of the two, briefly then mocked each other. Her boss was childish with her Miss. Ckck love...

Arriving at his ummi funeral, as usual Mahen who led the prayer. The two will be separated after Mahen escorts Naya to her workplace.

" Be careful, Brother, let me know when you get there. Thank you so much for making my toughest day lighter to pass, thanks for the time, the donation and the surprise party. Thanks for always knowing what I need ". Naya links her little finger to Mahen's fingers.

" Hey, baby, I'm here in two weeks ". Mahen escorted Naya to the corridor door of the employee, he saw her enter the stairs until the girl disappeared from view.

" Rome Rey.. Make sure the temple is fine at the boarding house and have the team stand guard for it ". Mahen orders as he again sits at the steering side of his personal assistant's.

***

2 weeks later. In a white workspace with all-black office furniture, someone is giving instructions to his man.

" Give it to her when the event has lasted about 30 minutes, when everyone is busy with their respective job desk. Let the rest of my people take care of her ".

" Prepare a presidential suite at the hotel ". Her word goes back through an intercom on one of her secretaries.

While elsewhere.

Mr. Jim this morning chaired a limited meeting on the tender auction project, a land acquisition to be used as a resort area, hotel as well as an elite burial area in the city of Kuning. No doubt, given the fantastic amount of investment and auction nominal, then all companies listed in this project are top-class property companies. Many of those who sent one of his leaders or even the ceo itself who contributed, not least among them including Mr. Jim, Danureksa and Sumitra represented by Anggara.

" Mahen, by the way, you accompany me there and prepare a presentation for the offer of the security system that you have updated so that we can make an offer if this tender is released or they can use if working with us ". Be firm, Jim.

" Good Sir. I'll prepare everything ".

" This year, may we begin with health, safety and happiness for us, our families and Exona's glory. Remember gentlemen, Struggle that you do today is the single way to build a better future. Good morning, happy activities, success for all of us. Meeting's over, thanks ".

" Good morning.. ". Meeting participants answered in unison.

" Mahen, my room ". Jim asked her to come into the room.

" How's your girl doing there? I deliberately brought you. According to the info from the inside, the tender location will be divided into two, the distance is a bit far, you handle the one. Prepare your best performance Mahen ".

" Naya thank God well, thank you for asking me the news.. It's still in the same town, right? ".

" Yes, if Exona escapes, I'll give you 1 week's stay ". Bid Mr. Jim with a smile, he felt happy to tease Mahen this time.

" I hope I can.. Thank you sir, if there is no more, I'm sorry to prepare all our needs for the day after tomorrow ". Mahen feels there is something strange about Mr. Jim, it is unusual for him to care about his personal life all this time.

Without feeling Mahen's busy day is over, tomorrow he will go to the yellow city, passing through the city where his lover is. It seems he must be preaching to Naya because he seems to not be able to visit her first because there is a Mr. Jim with her.

" Dear, tomorrow I'm there but with Mr. Jim. If I'm free, I'll get permission to see you ". Mahen wrote on his message.

" I'm tomorrow morning part time at the Sulthan hotel, opening a new hotel about 3 hours ".

" Be careful. A lot of new people, beware baby ". Mahen's heart was worried, he was reminded of the sound recording at the club that Rey had not solved because the situation was very noisy. Mahen was still trying to remember the voice, a familiar voice but he forgot.

" Sure.. I work again ". Reply Naya later.

Because Mahen's heart was worried, he then contacted his personal informant to ask for something.

" Bro, give me a blueprint of Sulthan's hotel. And can you come over there in the morning watching my girl? ". Ask mahen.

" Open boss, I'm trying to get 30 minutes of his files on you. I can be the boss ".

" Thank you ". After a long wait, the hotel's blueprint file was in Mahen's hands. He then sent it to Rey, to be clever which location will be used as a venue where there is Naya in her.

***

Day H, in the yellow city. Building 1.

Mr. Jim did not find Anggara here, he then asked Mahen who was in building 2.

" No sir, I think he's with you ". Mahen's heart is getting worse, Mr. Jim must know something he thought.

" Rey... Alex and Candi, how close is Naya? ".

" The temple accompanied Miss on the grounds she was invited by her acquaintance there, Alex on floor boss ".

" Well, Anggara's not with Mr. Jim. Beware Rey ". Mahen was a little relieved Naya was being watched by her two confidants there.

30 Minutes later, Rey panicked until she half ran to where Mahen was standing, talking to some of her colleagues.

" I'm sorry.. Boss ". Rey gave a signal.

" Excuse me gentlemen.... What's up, Rey? ". Mahen began to suspect.

" Miss is missing, no one saw her, no one knows that we put Alex and temple there boss ".

" How could Rey? Where's my laptop? scan Sulthan hotel blueprint ". Mahen emotion.

" Can't get in boss. He knows our steps ". Rey is frustrated, only this time he has trouble hacking the system unless someone deliberately blocks it. He left the equipment in the car and it took time to pick it up.

" Adnan's.. Adnan.. ". Mahen contacted his informant.

" Ready bosses ".

" Find the coordinates of the signal I'm sending you. This signal I can't reach because I'm too far away ". Mahen tried to stay calm.

" Rey, replace me in that room, fight to win the tender. I'll find Naya ". Mahen rushed to leave the yellow city, he drove his car at a speed above the allowed limit.

" Dear, hang in... Naya please do not happen again, O Allah ". Mahen never stop saying prayers in his heart, his salvation is no longer heed, his mind just wants to quickly get there.

" Boss.I found a woman lying in the Corridor..... ". Adnan's voice was heard from a Bluetooth speaker Mahen connected to his car

" Youngpam? ........ ".
