Behind The Lies
Losing to Desire

Iyash answered Nadine's call while walking out of Ganjar's courtyard. “Why, Nad?”

“Adisty who is it?”

“You only want to call Nanyain Adisty?”

“Iya, she was home.”

“She's my friend.”

“You make a lot of friends with women, deserve a lot of feelings,” said Nadine at the end there.

Iyash.

Meanwhile Aruna peeked behind the window. He had just woken up when he heard Faran talking to a man, he wanted to make sure that he was not Iyash, but he was surprised because the sharpness of his ears was never wrong. He still recognized the voice of the man.

Iyash turned his body and saw once again the residence of the Ganjar house, who knew there was Aruna there. However, Aruna instead hid from the man.

“Honey,” call Faran while opening the door.

Aruna jumped in shock. “Mas.”

“Shock yes? Sorry.” Faran smiled dryly as he approached. He then gazed out the window while Iyash had already darted with his bike. “So there's someone here, meet Ashilla.”

Aruna looked out the window.

“Night I met that person at the restaurant, I think he was looking for someone until he forgot to see the road.”

“Sok knows,” comments Aruna.

“Yes, because we did not accidentally crash. I was in a hurry to get a call from you. While the person said again looking for someone so do not pay attention to the road.”

Aruna's heart is beating. His face was red. He knew that Iyash must have been looking for him and now he also followed him here.

“There are, we even met here,” said Faran.

Faran hugged Aruna from behind, then dropped her chin on the woman's shoulder. “Where now? Still dizzy?”

“No, it's a little mengingan.”

“Still feeling nauseous?”

Aruna nodded back.

“Just remember before meals, take heartburn medicine first.”

“Which order am I?”

“On the dining table. Earlier, I asked Bi Sumi to prepare.”

“Opa how?” ask Aruna.

“Alhamdulillah was already human. Opa nanyain you.”

Aruna. “Mas say what?”

“Mas story all.”

“Terus Opa says what?”

“Opa would like to meet. If you are healthy, we will go there later in the day.”

Aruna couldn't resist because she also had to repair her relationship with Ganjar.

“I haven't talked to Ashilla.”

“She to office departs from hospital.”

“Weight so Ashilla.”

“She is strong, just like you.” Faran tightened his embrace.

Aruna smiled. “Mas,” call him without changing position and keep staring out the window.

“Hm?”

“My recommendation was revoked,” on Aruna.

“Why?” tanya Faran was concerned.

“Should today be my percentage.” Aruna then raised her shoulders. “Tapi–”

“All your plans will not work if there is no intervention of God.”

Aruna agreed. “Do I have to resign?”

“Then according to Mas how?”

“Seven years we live like this. For this time I hope we can live it normally. I'm tired of suppressing all fear, worry and fret every distance from you. What Mas feels is no longer a miss, Darling.” Faran sighed.

“I've been thinking about this since two weeks ago.”

“Thinking what?”

“I want to resign and follow Mas to Bali.”

“You're serious?”

Aruna nodded. In the end he took a different path than he had wanted all along. He felt sorry for Faran who was already very patiently waiting for him.

 “Actually I still want to do a lot of things.”

Faran smiled. “You can still do everything. I'd love to hear your decision.”

Aruna smiled. Giving up on desire is not a defeat. Making those who love him happy is a matter of pride.

“It's time I animate my role as your wife.”

“Thank you. Mas may be too soon to ask you.”

Aruna smiled again. “Everytime I remember it, I instantly remember dad.”

“Mas also. Mas wouldn't be standing here if dad didn't allow.”

Of course, Faran's struggle was not as difficult as Iyash's. Even to this day Iyash is still struggling. Faran may be a lucky man, but everyone never knows how Faran struggles to find his true love.

In the afternoon Ashilla returned home because she had missed sleeping in bed. He let Miranti and Edgar stand guard at the hospital. Actually there can't be anyone watching more than one person. However, since Ganjar entered the hospital Ashilla always accompanied by Angkasa and this time Miranti accompanied Edgar.

But Miranti's only child was busy with her laptop. He even behaved indifferently to Ganjar.

“Papa should how let you want to hold the company?” ask Ganjar to Miranti. It was always what he worried about Edgar to the point of shaking. How love Ganjar so great for treasure to be willing to lose children in order to maintain worldliness.

“Ajal Papa is getting closer.” Ganjar sighed. “Corporation chaotic held Ashilla.”

Miranti wet her throat. “I'll ask Edgar to replace Ashilla.”

“What?” Edgar immediately ignored his laptop. “Are you kidding me?”

“Be careful Edgar. Keep talking to you,” by Miranti. “This time Mother is serious.”

“But, Bund.”

“You writers and you are free to work anywhere, for now Mother asks you to stay here and start replacing Opa.”

“OK, but Mommy also lives here and leaves your career in America,” challenge Edgar. He was sure that his mother would not want to because just as selfish as Ganjar, Miranti also loved his career in America, all that ambition was declining also on Aruna, he said, but this time Aruna relented because there was something that melted her ego.

Miranti is instantly stunned and loses a thousand words of rebuttal that can reject Ganjar and Edgar's wishes, and the reason why Miranti pointed at Edgar is only so that he can return to New York.

If Miranti said no, it certainly benefited Edgar because the man would definitely come back with her to America.

“Pending can't, ‘kan?” guess Edgar. Miranti did not immediately give an answer, so Edgar concluded that Miranti could not leave her career. “Then wait Asa mature,” cetus Edgar.

Instantly Ganjar's chest pulsated again. “You forgot who financed you, Mir? To be able to stay there before your career skyrocketed is not easy, you need Papa.”

“Iya, Pa.” Miranti then looked at Edgar. “Iya, then I will stay here and help Edgar manage the company.”

This time Ganjar's chest was relieved. It was precisely Edgar's heart that had just melted. Edgar thought his mother would not give in to Ganjar's wishes, given that so far Miranti has been able to rely on herself for anything.

“Mother sure?” ask Edgar. He then looked at Ganjar. “Opa trust me?”

“You don't want to. Ashilla has failed and you hope Opa is the only one.”

“Why not Aruna?”

“Why should he? If Ashilla had failed, what if she had? Gusman may have succeeded in raising her, but not mentally. Still mending you guys. Opa will consider alms by financing him college, so he does not need to be involved in the company.”

From behind the door Aruna's heart stumbled. He looked at Faran who was standing next to him. He was about to leave, but Faran held him back while shaking his head.

“Opa can consider alms and give everything, then why do me and Ashilla have to pay?” ask Edgar.

“Not pay, Edgar, but develop,” Ganjar said.

“Ya is weird. We seem to have to replace what Opa loves. Indeed Aruna was not raised with Opa's property, but he was also entitled to inherit because he was also Opa's grandson. ”

“Enough, Edgar. Opa is still alive,” said Ganjar gasping.
