Assalamualaikum Ustadz Ku
21. Gathering
When lunchtime arrives, Ilham, Rashid and Kesya meet Andika at a restaurant like last night's deal.
"I'm Kesya's brother, Rashid. And he was Kesya's future husband, his name is Ilham," Rashid deliberately introduced Ilham as Kesya's future husband, can Rashid see, if Andika loves Kesya, he said, visible from the eyes of Andika who stared longing at her sister Kesya.
Andika smiled wryly, her heart was in pain, listening to the introduction, "Andika," like a sickly person, Andika sat in her chair languidly, without passion.
"I would like to thank you, for your help, for my sister's disappearance during the past year" Rashid opened the conversation, to the point, because time was very limited, catch a plane that is leaving soon.
"That's my duty as a human being, don't worry," Andika momentarily glanced at Kesya who was then just silent and looked at her, many questions drawn in her eyes, that made Andika's heart grow.
"I'm sorry if I was impressed to hide Kesya from you guys, I also just learned this yesterday," Andika looked down, powerless to lie with eyes that kept on being looked at by Kesya. It was painful and sad to imagine parting with the woman he loved.
"Can you please tell me how you found my sister? Our family searched all the hospitals, spreading the news of missing people everywhere, even putting ads in the newspapers, but there was no result" Rashid looked down on him, remembering the struggle of Inspiration in finding the sister.
"I found Kesya in the bushes, fainted and wounded. Her clothes were tattered camping, I thought she was a badass who was experiencing persecution, I felt sorry, so take her to my hospital." Andika's words were cut off by a very curious Inspiration.
"We searched almost all the hospitals in Jakarta, but we did not find the accident patient who happened on the day of the accident," Ilham looked at Kesya who just happened to look at him, there was a newness in the eyes of Kesya, for all the struggle of Ilham for a year he disappeared.
"I did ask my staff, to hide the existence of Kesya, I was worried if there was someone who intended evil to him." Andika increasingly lowered her face, very afraid of the lies she could be caught by Kesya. Really, in his little heart was very afraid Kesya would leave him.
'I'm sorry Kesya, I was so afraid of losing you, I felt in love with you the first time I saw you, ' Andika's heart was full of heartache.
"Mas, can we talk alone?" finally Kesya opened her voice, Ilham of course rejected it, she was jealous to see Kesya both with Andika.
"No way, I disagree. Talk about everything here," reject Ilham blatantly.
"Please Mas, there are things that I have to ask, personally, I am not good to talk about it here," Kesya persuaded Ilham to give permission to speak with Andika.
"Alright, but not for long," finally Ilham relented, fearing that Kesya would become ilfell on him, however he still remembered that Andika who had helped Kesya.
"Let's go Mas" Kesya and Andika then move from that place, looking for a more private place.
"Please explain everything that is honest with me, I don't like that Mas Dika lied to me," Kesya looked into Dika's eyes who were still down.
"Why do you have to apologize? Is he hiding something from me?" Kesya stared intensely at Dika, investigating the lies or honesty that Dika told her.
"When you came to, Mas asked my assistant to investigate the scene I found you, but I who was then beginning to fall in love with you, was not willing to part with you, she said, especially when I found out that you were getting married, I lost my mind at that time. My intention is I'll take you to Dubai, settle there. But I'm having a hard time with the documents, so we both end up here," Andika looked at Kesya fearfully.
"Your love made my family suffer because they thought that I was dead" there was a disappointed tone in Kesya's voice.
"I was just afraid of losing you, forgive me," Kesya shook her head, how could she possibly forgive such a big mistake?
She had to miss her marriage to Ilham, the scholarship to Egypt was also scorched because of Andika, although now she did not remember her past, but Kesya could feel that it was her dream, to become a doctor.
Kesya repeatedly breathed heavily. Trying to understand Dika's decision back then, but still, it was only a sense of disappointment that he felt. Kesya looked at Andika once again. Seeing the regret in those clear eyes. Andika's handsome face looked tangled, surely she had not slept all night, Kesya thought in her heart.
"I don't know how to handle all this. I myself am confused, please give me time to think things through," in the end Kesya made a decision.
"Kesya, Please forgive me, I really have no evil intentions to you. I was just afraid of losing you back then, I wouldn't be willing if you married another man, my mind was messed up back then," Andika tried to approach Kesya and held onto her shoulder, trying to hug Kesya.
"Please don't be like this" asked Kesya who felt bad, especially when she saw Ilham who rose from his chair and was about to come to her and Andika.
"Just sit in your chair, let's talk about all this well, please don't be like this," Kesya was really afraid that there would be a middle, seeing the killing gaze of Ilham in the distance. Kesya tried to calm Andika.
"Alright, let's go home, I miss you so much," Andika got up and clasped Kesya's hand, Kesya was surprised when Andika tried to pull herself and intended to take her away.
"Eh... stop!! Where are you taking my future wife?" Ilham was suddenly at Kesya's side, and brought her into his arms. The confused one could do nothing.
"Please do not fight so, all we can talk about is fine," Rashid came close and tried to calm those who from the look of his face were ready to smite.
"We are very grateful that you helped Kesya, but if you behave like this, I can't tolerate it anymore" Inspiration was no longer able to hold back his emotions, very anxious with Andika's behavior, and so on, the one who will overtly take Kesya away.
"Kesya and I are already planning on getting married. We were just waiting for my parents to come from Dubai, "Ilham was very surprised to hear Andika's confession, she looked at Kesya, and tried to ask her the truth, but Kesya just lowered her head, she said, Inspiration was very syock and disappointed.
