Not Just a Dream

Not Just a Dream
The same disaster


A week passed. As usual, Bagas came to the apartment every morning to pick up Renata. If yesterday they were still busy with work, today is different. Bagas and Renata will be busy with wedding preparations that are just counting days. 


Bagas and Renata are a very compatible couple. That's how people look at him. The two continued to show off the increasingly tight-knit intimacy. 


"It turns out you're prettier like this," praised Bagas seeing Renata fresh out of the room. If Renata usually lets her hair down long, this time the girl shakes it, revealing the neckline. 


"It's time, Mas. It's just normal."


Renata shifted her body towards the glass perched on the wall. Look at his reflection from the mirror. Making sure what Bagas said was not just a joke. 


"Yes, and I feel like I want to bite." 


Renata snorted, ending his makeup. Approaching Bagas who sat down with a sly smile. "Let's go, bad luck."


Before going to the boutique, Bagas stopped by the office because there was still work to be done. In fact Renata was reluctant to enter, although everyone knew by his current position, for him meeting them was to open old wounds. 


"Come, now you're my future wife. No one will dare insult you anymore." 


Bagas wrapped his hands around Renata's waist. They walked in parallel through several employees who passed by. 


"Good morning sir, ma'am." A greeting for Renata's greeting. The world is upside down so fast, it used to be he who had to bend kindly at everyone. Now it is they who do it without being told.


I don't know, how many times he entered as the prospective wife of Bagas, in fact, the bitter memories still crossed his brain. 


"Mas, how come I'm so uncomfortable" whispered Renata. Glancing to the left right. Unceasingly the employees greeted him with a call, madam. 


"Don't be uncomfortable, that's life, sometimes we're down, sometimes we're on top." The whispering bag. 


Almost pressing the elevator button, Jerry ran over with a few maps in his hand. 


"What's up, Jer? Why are you panicking?"


"Sorry, Sir. There's sabotage to our project. All the ludes burn and leave nothing."


"What's…"


Tub struck by lightning, Bagas body limp instantly. His entire body seemed to die, because the project was almost one hundred percent so, the cost incurred was not small. It would have lost tens of billions. Wasn't that a serious accident?


"Why did you just say it now?" tanya Bagas with trembling lips. His mind began to cloudy and chaotic. 


"I just got the news an hour ago. The workers did not see the culprit, when they woke up all the places were surrounded by fire."


"Quiet, Mas." Renata hugged Bagas tightly, wiping the sweat that soaked every inch of the man's face. Bagas' heartbeats were clearly heard in Renata's ears.


"But, Re. It's the single biggest project, and I__" 


"Sssstt


Renata landed an index finger on Bagas' lips." All the treasure we have is a deposit, I know it hurts a lot. But believe me, every act will have its payoff."


Bagas rubbed his face slowly. Replying to Renata's embrace. Seeking strength to stand firm against everything. 


"Jer, don't tell mama and aunty, I'm afraid they'll worry."


"Good, sir." 


Renata's phone rings. He immediately reached it. It turned out to be Rita, the employee who was now her confidant.


"Mas I got the phone first." After getting permission, Renata slightly moved away from Bagas and Jerry until the two of them could not hear Renata and Rita talking.


"What's up, Rit?" 


Renata rounded his eyes. No less surprised to hear the disaster that befell his cafe. 


"Then, how's it going?" asked Renata enthusiastically. 


Of course worry hit. It's about someone's life. Renata doesn't want to be accused of being a murderer with something he didn't do.


"The victim was rushed to the hospital, but there were some families who demanded, what should I do?" 


"You take it easy, I'm going to the hospital right now, tell them I'll take responsibility." 


"Good, Mom." 


Connection interrupted. Seeing Bagas situation alone, Renata felt pity, he did not want to burden the man with the calamity that also befell him. 


Renata put in her phone. Putting on a face as calmly as possible to trick Bagas.


"Mas, how about going to the boutique we just retreat, I have a little need," said Renata hesitated. 


"Where are you going?" ask Bagas with a heavy voice.


A few months ago, when Melinda left him when Bagas collapsed, she was afraid it would happen again. 


"I'm going to the cafe, I have a little business. When it's over, I come back here."


Bagas nodded slowly, despite a little hesitation, he did not want to think negatively. 


Bagas stared at Renata's back passing through the front door. 


"Jer, why would Renata rush like that, would she leave me like Melinda?"


Jerry Smile. "The senata is good. It was impossible for him to leave father just because of this kind of problem. Now we better get to the room waiting for the investigation."


After getting out of the car, Renata approached Rita who was waiting for him in front of the hospital receptionist. The woman is in the custody of the family of the victim who is currently being treated. 


"How's the patient doing, Rit?" 


"I don't know yet, Mom. I've been here waiting, Mother."


Rita escorts Renata to the patient room. The doctor just came out. 


"How's the patient doing, Doc?" renata asked, his eyes staring at a man lying on the bed. 


"The patient has passed the critical period. Now it's resting, fortunately it's fast brought here. Otherwise, it's possible that the poison will spread throughout the body's organs" explained the doctor. 


"Poisons? The patient's doctor meant no food poisoning, but there was poison mixed with food?"


The doctor in front of Renata nodded. "This poison is rare and rare. But it is very dangerous because it can kill slowly, turning off the body's organ tissue until it does not function at all." 


Why did this incident coincide with the disaster experienced by Bagas? Is there anyone who deliberately wants to harm me and Bagas mas, but who? 


"I hope Renata's mom takes responsibility for my family, or I'll report it to the police."


The woman beside Renata cried as much as she could, perhaps the person she did not know was one of the victims' families. 


"Good, Mom. I will be responsible. This case will be reported soon. I hope the culprit gets known quickly."


Ordeal let alone this, why would anyone want to take away my happiness and Bagas mas. It can't be Derya's, there must be an outsider willing to destroy our efforts, but who?


The only person in Renata's brain is Liam's grandfather.
