Companions
Chapter 44

Arkan is currently meeting with Dion in the office, they are talking about Riri who used to work with Dion.

"Arkan, sorry I can only come here now," said Dion.

"It's okay, I just want to talk about Riri" Arkan said.

"That woman, what are you talking about her for?" ask Dion.

"Do you know how he is at the moment? actually I don't want to know" Arkan said.

"Yes, I know everything. I made him work in a place like that" Dion said, leaving Arkan in shock.

"What's? you mean?" surprised Arkan.

Dion tells the beginning of Riri working in such a place, what Dion's actions are very irresponsible. He's the one who forced Riri to do bad things and replace them with money. At that time Riri thought that his future had been destroyed, Dion also fired Riri for fear of being caught by many people. If it is discovered that Dion's reputation will be destroyed, until now Riri still asks Dion for money.

"I couldn't have married that woman, you know that my family would never give me my blessing" Dion said.

"It's better that you take responsibility, rather than regret it later" Arkan said.

"Hahaha, I'll never regret it just because of women" Dion said.

"Dion, what happened to you? why are you like this?" ask Arkan, astonished to see his friend's change.

Dion looked confused and did not answer Arkan's question, in the depths of his heart he felt very guilty.

Arkan persuades Dion to resuscitate Riri, Dion must take responsibility for what Riri experienced.

"I will try to persuade him to leave his job. But I'm not ready to marry her" Dion said.

"As a man, you should be responsible, not running away from problems" Arkan said.

After they finished talking they headed to the meeting room, to discuss the work issue.

Laura had prepared for the meeting today, even though she was still upset with Arkan.

"Laura, where was yesterday's file on your desk?" ask Arkan.

After Dion from Arkan's office, he immediately went to Riri's house. The guilt that was in him made him knock his heart, to apologize and will restore Riri's life as before. Even though it was too late he hoped that Riri could still forgive back.

After a journey of approximately two hours he arrived at the residence of Riri.

Tok...

Riri opens the door and Dion comes to her house.

"Dion." said Riri lirih.

"I...

"Go from here!" drive Riri.

"Listen to my explanation, Riri" said Dion.

"I don't need any explanation, now go!" Riri insists on expelling Dion.

"Riri, please listen to me first" Dion said softly.

Riri then closes the door of her house, she sits on the floor crying considering the events of her past with Dion.

While Dion was still trying to knock on the door, after seeing Riri's attitude, the guilt that enveloped him grew even more.

Slowly Dion stepped foot into his car, because it had been an hour more Riri did not open the door for him.

"Why did you show up again, Dion. I've taken great pains to forget you" Riri said inwardly.

Riri's struggle to forget Dion is very difficult, so it makes him cry and again sad when remembering Dion.

Dion decides to go home and will return to Riri's place again, he plans to take Arkan with him.
