Renjana Song
Secret of the Heart

"A man is a conscience. For women, hope is the stars. The lamp gives light to the way, while hope gives the way of salvation." 

In the mind Ranum is now filled with millions of shadows of goodness from a Pratama Yuda who he had felt all along.

So did Maya, in her mind she agreed to everything Ranum said about Yuda.

''You know how perfect a Pratama Yuda is?'' ask Ranum to Maya.

Maya also nodded in agreement and agreed to Ranum's statement.

''But...'' Ranum paused his sentence a little. He looked at his boss and best friend.

''But what?'' ask Maya curious. Inwardly he felt a little claustrophobic hearing his best friend praise his good friend.

''But I don't deserve him.'' said Ranum in a sad sentence.

''Why ''Why? Why not deserve? You are a very beautiful woman, you are a hard worker, you are a strong woman. And you are also a great mother.

''No, not because of that.'' said Ranum.

''Then?'' ask Maya.

''Then what about you?'' Ranum.

''Me? What's with me?'' Maya did not understand the meaning of the words of her best friend.

''I don't want to ruin our friendship. And for sure, I don't want to make you hurt.''

''May, why aren't you being honest with me? Why are you hiding it?'' Ranum.

''What do you mean?'' ask Maya to try to cover it up.

''About your feelings.'' Ranum replied.

''Why didn't you tell me that all this time you kept the taste itself? I know you love Yuda very much. I also know that you are willing to do anything for her.''

The deg!

Maya was still stunned. Maya did not expect if all this time Ranum knew all his feelings for Yuda. And all this time he has been trying to close the secret of his heart.

''I don't want to hurt you. I think you love Yuda too, so I prefer to harbor this feeling.

''May, listen yes. In my mind it was never thought at all to love another man, again. You know that, right?'' ask Ranum.

''Yes, I'm sorry.''

''You don't have to apologize. And from now on do not try again to bring me or Elzein closer to Judah. Let's walk like this. And I hope, someday you can find out the contents of each of your hearts said Ranum.

''But Judah loves you, Num. Not me.'' said Maya.

''Then if this time Yuda prefers to love me, do you think I have the heart to make my best friend who I consider as my own brother hurt?'' ask Ranum.

They fell silent again. Reflect on every sacred sentence that just came out of the mouth of a pair of good friends. And then they embraced warmly. A loving hug is like a sister who loves her own sister.

''Don't cry, it will get worse.'' said Ranum.

''Damn it!'' annoyed Maya while wiping the tears flowing from her eyeballs.

''There, go pick up your son.'' Maya ordered.

''So you're upset with me?''

''I am your superior here.'' Maya said with a chuckle.

''Ok! I lost.'' Jawan Ranum also with his laughter.

''Well ma'am superiors, then I beg your permission to go home first.''

''Go!''

The time has indeed shown at four in the afternoon, it is time for the rupiah fighters to end the day today.

Ranum walked with long steps to get to the security post immediately to pick up the car keys entrusted by Yuda's men's company.

''El must have waited a long time nih.'' he muttered feeling unsettled.

Because he was in a hurry, Ranum accidentally hit someone who was suddenly in front of him.

''Aw!'' said Ranum who immediately took the keys of his car that fell.

''Sorry sir, I didn't intentionally.'' he said as he stood up.

Ranum raised his head. How surprised he found out who the figure of the man he accidentally hit earlier.

''Sorry, I was really inadvertent because I was in a hurry. If no one gets hurt, I'm sorry.'' Ranum tried to avoid the man.

However, he had not yet stepped his legs away, the arm of his right hand was blocked by the man.

''So this is the tactic you used?'' ask her in an intimidating tone.

''Very cheap.'' he said again.

''Is there no other way you can use it than by accidentally bumping into me?''

''Detach!'' Ranum tried to remove the grip on his right arm.

''Are you still mad at me?''

''Now, I apologize to you again for what I did a few years ago. Really, I have no intention of tricking you. And also I have tried repeatedly to tell you the truth, but you never listened to it, Ranum said as he tried to release the grip of Agam's hand on his arm.

''Do you think it's that easy to apologize?'' ask Agam in a cold tone.

''I will make amends, but this time I beg you to let me go. My son has waited too long please Ranum.

''Cih!''

''It turns out he really already has a child.'' murmured Agam in his heart.

''I beg you.'' Please Ranum.

Looking at Ranum's heart-wrenching face, Agam's little heart felt unbearable. So, he took off his sturdy hand from Ranum's arm.

''Thank you.'' Ranum said before stepping away.

Ranum immediately drove his car at a slightly faster speed. It was not the wind that made Elzein wait any longer.

''Follow that white car!'' agam's orders to Hardy.

''Quick!''

''Ba-good boss.'' Hardy immediately started the engine and followed the direction of Brioh's white car.

''Where did he go?'' murmured Agam in his heart.

After fifteen minutes of travel, Ranum turned his car to a Kindergarten Park which at each corner of the wall was given a variety of colorful pictures and paint.

''We wait here until he comes out.'' Agam ordered.

''Well, boss.''

Ranum immediately got out of his car and walked into the Kindergarten building, while Hardy parked his car behind Ranum's car so as not to be caught.

After five minutes, Ranum came out with a boy who was quite familiar with Agam. Sayup heard in his ear how Ranum apologized to the boy for being late to school again.

''I'm sorry baby, I'm late again.''

''It's okay, mama. Inside there is also Alice's mother and also other friends.

''Emm.. Because now mama has paid and also as an apology, mama will treat you.''

''Hooray! Then El wants to eat Ratatouille!'' exciting Elzein.

''Ratatouille?''
