Caught in the Love of the Past
Chapter 1
At the end of the twilight, Fitri stared deeply at a photograph that had always been in his diary.
A photo of her with a much loved and cherished man.
The difference in education levels makes destiny separate them.
"I'm sorry, I have to bury this story as deeply as possible. We will never be together forever." Fitri tore off the photo sheet that was in her hand.
The girl began to step towards the beach which threw a big wave because of the wind that was getting stronger that evening.
Fitri threw her only memories with her ex-lover into the sea water.
Slowly the sea water brought the tear into the middle of the ocean.
Fitri stepped off the beach.
Padang Beach with the sun that began to sink witnessed the heart wounds that Fitri harbored.
One week later, Fitri will marry the son of a friend of both parents who are Fitri seniors on campus.
The man who has the status of Bachelor became the second choice of Fitri's parents to be his life companion.
Fitri also resigned to accept the decision of his parents because at this time he can not boast the figure of the ex-lover who did not finish Junior High School and now works odd jobs in his village.
"Fit" said a man approaching Fitri who was still daydreaming on a large rock at Padang Beach.
Fitri raised her head to look at the only man who filled the recesses of her heart.
"Bang Rayhan," said Fitri while wiping his tears that had fallen down his cheeks.
Fitri stood face to face with the man who was forced to become his former lover because of the matchmaking he had to live.
"I know, none of this is our will. I can't fight for you, because I'm nobody. There's nothing I can be proud of to have you" Rayhan said in a regretful tone.
Fitri could not hear the words coming out of Rayhan's mouth.
The girl immediately hugged the burly body of the man she loved so much.
Rayhan is shocked by what Fitri does, as long as they are dating Fitri always refuses when Rayhan wants to touch her.
Now Fitri hugged herself without caring what the people who saw them would say.
"Fit" Rayhan said after letting Fitri release the burden on his heart.
Rayhan tidied up Fitri's hijab which looked very messy.
He also rubbed Fitri's cheeks wet from her tears.
"Here you go, you don't have to cry anymore. I will go far, be happy with the man God has destined for you. Take care of everything that happens" Rayhan said.
Fitri took a long breath.
"I hope you get a better partner than me and are happy with him" Fitri said.
Rayhan nodded and smiled. Rayhan could not help himself, he also kissed the top of Fitri's head.
Bugh.
Suddenly someone came beating Rayhan to make the man fall down.
"Bang Dimas!" pekik Fitri was shocked when she saw her future husband there.
"How dare you touch my future wife!" snapped Dimas full of emotions.
Fitri can not dwell, at this time he can not do anything but stay in place.
Rayhan tried to get up and again stood before Fitri and Dimas.
"May you be happy, Fitri," said Rayhan.
Rayhan turned his body and left Fitri without looking back.
****
7 years later.
"Bang Rayhan" said Fitri.
He woke up from his sleep, somehow suddenly the man who had been in his heart was back present in his sleeping flowers after 7 years did not meet.
Fitri glanced towards the side. He saw the husband still sleeping soundly while hugging their 5-year-old baby.
"Thank God Bang Dimas hasn't woken up yet, which means he didn't hear when I mentioned Bang Rayhan's name" Fitri murmured inwardly.
Fitri got up and got out of bed, when she just stepped into the bathroom, her phone rang.
Fitri stopped her steps, she grabbed her cell phone. It is clearly visible on the screen of his phone there is a call from an unknown number.
The mother-of-one immediately raised the unfamiliar call.
"Hello," said Fitri with a hoarse voice typical of people waking up.
"Hello, Deck!" answer a man from across the street.
Fitri scrunched his forehead confused. He tried to guess who the man who was contacting him was.
"Sorry who?" ask Fitri slowly.
Fitri tried to bring her phone into the kitchen so that her husband would not listen to her conversation with the stranger.
"It's me, Dek," said the man again.
"Who?" ask Fitri again more confused.
"Yes you forgot about me, Dek. It's me, you know," said the man familiar with Fitri.
Fitri's thoughts this morning on Rayhan made her guess that the man who was contacting her was Rayhan.
"This is you, Bang Ray?" ask Fitri slowly so as not to be heard by the husband who is still sleeping in the room.
"Yes, Deck. It's me" said the man.
"But why is the sound different?" ask Fitri curious.
He tried to remember the voice of the man he used to love.
After that, Fitri was sure that the one who was contacting him was Rayhan
"What's up, Bang? Tumben you suddenly called me?" ask Fitri wonder.
"Look, Deck. I'd like to ask you a favor" said the man.
"Please what?" ask Fitri confused.
"Mhm, look, Deck. I have a job, working with a company that sells electronic goods at a cheap price," said the man with great confidence.
"Trus?" Fitri was getting impatient to know the purpose of the man contacting her.
"Well, I have a Chinese customer. He used to buy electronic goods at the price of one million five hundred. So it turns out that warehouse people have increased the price of goods so I might not sell at the price as usual. Here I would like to ask you to disguise yourself as a warehouse person and please tell me, it costs two million and five hundred. Later the profit we get, we split two yes, Deck. If the practice of ten units, means for the same 5 million of us, Deck," the man leads Fitri to do what he asks.
"Oh that's it, yeah, I'll help you, Bang. It's at dawn, I want to pray at dawn first" Fitri said, stopping the conversation that morning.
Fitri was pleased with the incoming call, because he could earn money easily.
"O Allah, is this the path you have given us in living the hardships of this life?" fitri's murmur in the heart.
Fitri's mind continues to imagine the huge gains she will get by helping the man who claims to be Rayhan's self.
Seriate...
