Captured by the Past
CHAPTER 37: The Ghost of El?

After getting a message from Royyan, instead of lightening the burden of Almira's mind, it added a sense of dizziness in his head. He was lazy to think so early. Soon he was throbbing staring at the screen of his phone lazily.

"Not just tell me, instead of thinking, basic husband is useless," said Almira while slightly lowering her knees in order to see the buttons clearly.

Slowly he press one by one the button according to the interruption of Royyan, "birth date kak Royyan right eighteen, continue me twenty, initials kak Royyan's name 'R' 'D' 'A' and I'm 'M' 'A' 'T',"celoteh Almira then he immediately touches the okay button. And the door immediately opened. "Ribet really is like his life," again Almira.

The woman who unraveled her hair without hairpin or bando was waltzing into her messy room. Before sitting in her chair, Almira tidied up the floor filled with rolls of paper that rolled with ringsek, he carried the papers into a trash can made of steel stainlees that were knee-high.

Then he lit a fire bat and burned one of the useless papers and put it together with some of the papers in the trash can, with a blink of an eye the papers burned until the fire was blazing out of the trash can that was in another corner away from the flammable object, at once the paper had turned gray.

Just a second into the ashes of the papers, Manda's footsteps were heard entering the boutique and now she had opened the door of Almira's room as she ruffled her waist and her sharp gaze was not as usual.

"By!"call Manda in a high voice.

Almira, who was watching the burning pieces of paper, jumped in shock, then she looked back and found Manda was already in her room.

"What the hell are you, don't habit ngaggetin others dodol, why the hell are you, pms huh?"almira said as she dragged her steps closer to her desk.

"Kok you are very calm, you again digosipin all over Indonesia know not, he said you cheated the main director of the Rain Corporation Daboz company," said Manda who looked panicked, then he stepped closer to his friend who was already sitting quietly in his chair.

"Lu believe the gossip so?"instead of answering Almira instead pelted Manda with another question.

"Yes, no, where maybe my bestie would be an affair," he said as he leaned his body against Almira's desk.

"Well that knows," replied Almira while brazing the map containing the design that is ready for production.

"OK on."

Manda no longer questioned the ridiculous gossip, then he rushed to the sofa and as usual he laid his body on the sofa with his legs up on the table, it's only if he uses jeans or other pants, but if he is wearing a short skirt, it will not do.

He unlocks his phone and returns to social media, until he discovers a new fact that Almira is Royyan's cousin. He bought his eyes again, bringing himself to his feet and dragging his steps back to Almira's table. Again the woman who works as a model is twisting her eyeballs with azmat.

"God! What else is this? Cousin? You're the same kebab guy that's cousin? Well bad you don't talk to your beautiful friend storm cake like this," muttered Manda in front of Almira as she thrust her cell phone.

"Ssttt ..."desis Almira while putting her index finger over her own lips. "Here come with me" continued Almira as she grabbed Manda's hand and took her to the sofa.

The two sat on the sofa together, Almira pulled Manda over to get closer for a whisper to be heard. Before telling everything, the cat-eyed woman circulated her gaze to make sure the situation was safe and no one heard this serious conversation.

"Why? You're like a thief anyway, you wink so?"tukas Manda.

"Bacot you don't really yeah,"Almira slapped Manda's back gently.

"Keep what dong?"

Almira put his lips near Manda's ears, "gue same kebab guy is not a pot, it's just the guy's wits just let the reporter on diem, you've diem not much to say,"whispered Almira, then she distanced herself from Manda.

As soon as the shoulder-haired woman nodded and grinned, "oh I understand, but the relationship can stray to the director, how?"manda asked still confused.

"Because brother Royyan used his brother-in-law's car, which is the director at the Rain Corporation Daboz, so the rumor goes everywhere."

"Ooh pantesan aja, uh but .. your relationship with the kebab guy what? How could he pick you up in the middle of the night, you're dating him, right?"point at Manda with her serious face.

"Some anjir,"tepis Almira who still refuses to tell his best friend about the real facts. "That doesn't need to be discussed anymore, now mending you choose a dress for the show, later I told your agency, if you've chosen a dress for the first episode,"added Almira trying to distract Manda.

"Oh, I'm out, I want to pick a dress," she said, standing up and walking out of Almira's room.

"Hmm .." - Murmured Almira.

...***...

"I was helped by one of the doctors who was near the sea, because I was unconsciously thinking of swimming to the edge because I wanted to survive, so I swam to the edge of the sea and I met a good doctor, after which I was in the care for a month until I woke up, and I lost my memory from the very violent impact when I arrived by the sea, after two years passed my memory returned and the good doctor managed to find mami and papi, and I'm finally in front of your eyes" Elshara explained, waving her sweet smile.

Royyan who had just heard while eating his favorite food occasionally nodded in response to Elshara's words, "thankfully, I'm your mistress, but thank God that you survived. You have to see Dirta immediately, he who suffers a lot when you are not there," said Royyan who then kept his garfu and knife and looked up to see Elshara's face clearly.

"Yes." Yeah."Elshara nodded with a faint smile, there was a spark of disappointment in the bottom of her heart, it was certain that she would meet her friends one by one, but the most important thing in her life was Royyan, who was the first person in her life, the man she still loves to this day.

His eyes always sparkled while recording Royyan before him, but Royyan's gaze was still the same as before, a cold gaze with a hint of warmth accent. However, Elshara was still smiling cheerfully.

I am still with the same feeling, though I may lose my memory but this love never leaves my heart, this time I will not go but I will get your heart, however. I see you're not with any woman, right? So it seems like I'm the only one who deserves to be your woman.

His mind chattered with confidence with what he saw, but he forgot that Royyan was cold and often did not tell clearly about his personal life.

"I have not found where Dirta is, nor Ajun?"his question then after he was satisfied chattering with his heart.

"Ajun a lawyer, his house moved to Bali following his parents," said Royyan while pulling his body back leaning on the chair he was sitting in.

"Waw .." cried Elshara seemed amazed by the achievement of Ajun, his eyeballs sparkled proud of the achievement of one of his friends as he patted his hands gently, "Ajun can also be cool, acting cool, he used to care about nothing but food, "he added.

Then Royyan laughed a little considering how the Ajun people in his eyes, "now it's the same when it comes to food, but he's a great lawyer, he can be in all corners of Indonesia" Royyan replied.

A state of silence invaded the two for a few seconds, until he remembered a parcel that was beside him. The parcel contained a scarf that he should have given some time ago to commemorate Elshara's death, but the universe sent Elshara first before the scarf met the flower house created by Elshara's parents during her disappearance a few years ago.

While bringing the parcel to the table and immediately sticking it out on Elshara Royyan carved her face with a warmer smile, the burden of her guilt had been slightly reduced, "this gift I should have given you on the date of your departure, because I have a lot of work so I do not stunt, please do not also whatever,"he said and immediately kept his hand away from the parcel before Elshara tried to grab it.

The sparks of love in his eyeballs were scattered again, until Elshara's whole body seemed radiant, and, the beautiful woman widened her smile while reaching for the parcel and immediately opened happily and occasionally she looked up and looked at the face of Royyan who was still handsome.

"Thankyou so much, I really like it" Elshara revealed after she opened the long black box and saw the scarf of the famous brand lying there.

Slowly he came out from the box that had accompanied him in the past month. The scarf that had always fallen asleep inside the black box was finally able to breathe fresh air and now wrapped around Elshara's white neck gently.

"This is so pretty, I'm going to wear this right now" Elshara added as she glanced at her own phone camera, and the smile did not fade from her face.

"It's good that you like it."

Elshara nodded. If remembered this was the first gift she received from Royyan as long as she knew him long ago, her heart was like being carried flying by a wing fairy who distributed wings to her fairies. It sounds exaggerated indeed, but this is how Elshara feels right now, how happy she is to be close again to the person she loves.

A few minutes from that and they had finished their food, Ajun came to Royyan. From a distance of three meters from the indoor cafe area, Ajun who had just sat in his chair to wait for his client seemed to frown, there was a sense of annoyance in him.

How can Royyan meet another woman while he has a wife at home, oh no. Not at home, but in a boutique. The cat-eyed woman was fighting with dozens of employees to prepare various kinds of clothing for the models who will attend the summer camp event in two days.

"Sampe cheated on me duck you ya Yan, you said your marriage won't find the word divorce, this is what?"he nodded in front of his private secretary. "I go first, if the client has been there contact me immediately," continued Ajun as he floated out of the Indoor area to the outdoor area.

It took three minutes to get to Royyan and Elshara's desk at the end of the outdoor area and at the surrounding table nothing was filling, the table was left blank. Upon arrival near Royyan, Ajun immediately sent a fairly hard blow on Royyan's back. Making the burly man jump in shock and immediately turn to someone who hit him.

"The culprit!"resolutely Royyan who immediately stood up from his chair and sharpened his gaze.

"God! You're naughty now, this is the"hardic Ajun before he turns to Elshara who's still sitting in her chair.

After he turned his head and saw a figure he knew so well, his eyeballs suddenly widened fiercely like seeing a real ghost displayed before him. So that he was widened with a more rounded gaze, then Ajun took a few steps back while continuing to look at Elshara who was now slowly smiling.

"Vriv ...."Ajun screamed as loud as he could then he covered behind Royyan's body still standing nearby, he drowned his face there, his body sculpting.

Can't believe what he just saw, ghost? After nine almost ten years had passed the body should no longer have the appearance, why the woman is still beautiful and even the color of her skin is getting better. Such is the picture of astonishment mixed with fear in the spirit of Ajun.

NEXT ....
