Arion runs his car with a feeling of uncertainty. I want to get to Rusdi's hometown soon. From a confidant he obtained the man's address.
The middle-aged man only found out that Novi was pregnant when he went to study abroad. He wanted to know if Rusdi knew this.
With an erratic feeling Arion was driving his car. He was afraid that what he had in mind was true.
Four hours drive finally Arion to Rusdi's hometown. After asking a few people, he finally reached the address.
At that time Rusdi was sitting on a wooden bench in front of his house while smoking. Arion went straight down as soon as he saw the man.
Rusdi who was relaxing was of course shocked to see the arrival of someone he never expected. The man stood up straight from his seat. Look at Arion without a blink.
Arion walked surely with firm steps. From the look of his eyes there still seemed to be a grudge in his heart.
"Good afternoon" said Arion kaku. He didn't know where to start.
Arion and Rusdi have only met twice. It was also accompanied by his assistant. First when handing over the loan money, and second during Novi's funeral.
However, from his assistant, Rusdi often gets threats or intimidation. He comes to the conclusion that Arion is a ruthless man.
"Good afternoon. One surprise a respectable Mr. Arion can get to my reot hut."
In his heart Rusdi was a little scared. Why would a man like Arion look for himself. And even more frightening, he could reach the village which was located quite remote. There must be something important until a middle-aged man like Arion looks up and comes to him.
Usually the man just told his assistant. Right now, let alone bring his assistant. There is no personal driver. The important thing is what makes him want to meet Rusdi alone.
"It seems like a very serious thing. Come inside! We're talking inside. However, my house is not worth saying as a house, precisely just a hut. So apologize if you feel uncomfortable and not at home" Rusdi said.
The man invited Arion in. His eyes looked at Rusdi's house without a blink. Every corner did not escape his sight. Rusdi went to the kitchen and made two cups of coffee. Sit on the floor in the Arion.
"Please drink. There's only coffee. Sorry I can't entertain guests well. This is how life in a remote village is like this" Rusdi said.
Arion simply replied with a knotty smile. Arion imagines how Novi lives with the man. What Novi likes about a guy like this. Wanted to leave her for a poor man like Rusdi.
"What do you want to talk about?" tanya Rusdi opened the conversation.
"I want you to answer my question honestly without covering up anything" Arion said.
"If I could answer. What do you want to know about this poor me?" ask Rusdi.
Arion took a deep breath. Rubbed his face violently. He didn't know what to ask for the first time.
"When you married Novi, she was pregnant?" ask Arion. After saying that back Arion seemed to take a breath back. A nervous look on his face.
So too with Rusdi. He seemed to be breathing deeply. He did not want to talk about something that had passed and wanted to be in the deep tomb.
"Why do you ask that?" ask Rusdi.
