That night, Pak Vishnu sat alone on his balcony.
He remembered his teenage years while still in his homeland, Indonesia.
At that time, Pak Vishnu was still a school in one of the public high schools in his area. He includes smart and accomplished children but he is from a family that is less capable.
In High School, she went to school with Laura Magdalena and even had one class. He liked the beautiful girl, but kept her alone.
If you can't have her, just being her best friend is enough for her. That's what he thought at the time.
Who knows, this decision makes him regret.
"Nu, it looks like I can't continue further education.." Laura looks sad.
"Why, what's the problem.. Didn't we get a scholarship from the government?
for other living expenses we can work part-time.." The young Vishnu.
'No problem, Nu, I can't leave my sick mother. Plus my sister's a kid.." Said Laura again.
"While my grandmother was also old, I could not expect much from her.." Connect Laura.
Laura was a poor and orphaned girl, her father had long since died of illness.
"So what do you do when you graduate school..?" Ask Vishnu sadly.
"I'm going with my uncle to work on one of his master's tea plantations.." Answer Laura.
"If it's really your decision, I can only support you if it's for the best.."
When he graduated from school, Vishnu continued to study in the US because he received a scholarship from the local government. Laura went to work on a tea plantation with her uncle.
At that time Vishnu promised, after graduating from college and returning to his homeland he would propose to Laura.
But unexpectedly, his return was even welcomed by his best friend's wedding invitation.
Hearts hurt disappointed, heartbroken made him return to the US. Working day and night to succeed.
He wanted to prove that he was a poor boy at that time now successful and successful in the land of people.
All he knew at that time from those around him was that Laura was married to her employer's child because she was in debt.
He intended to release her from the debt, but Laura refused. She said she loved her husband very much. And getting married is not due to debt either.
The night grew late, Pak Vishnu dissolved with his memories.
Suddenly his phone rang.
Ringing.rieg...
"Call..." Reply Mr. Vishnu malasnya. The call broke his daydream.
"Do your job, make sure Irwan and his son come back. Otherwise I'll divulge your secret.." Answer the caller.
"I'm not afraid of your threats, what secrets.I have no secrets? anyway, without you asking me to make Irwan Hartawijaya back.." Mr. Vishnu said firmly.
"Hemm, don't you think I don't know. It was you who told people that the late Laura was having an affair with someone else" said the caller.
Mr. Vishnu was shocked, how did this person know.Because of the actions of Mr. Vishnu, Pak Irwan had a big fight with Mama Maura.
"Why, surprised right..! hehe, you hurt the woman of your dreams choosing another man. And do that unworthy thing..." Call the caller again.
"How, do you want your wife and children to know what you're doing first? want to destroy your child's relationship too..?" Urge the caller.
Mr. Vishnu could not say anymore, his tongue was murky.
"All right, I'll give you a month. Make sure Irwan and his son Maura come back here again.." Answer the caller and disconnect the phone.
Mr. Vishnu thought hard, how to get Irwan to return to Indonesia with Maura. While Mr. Irwan is busy taking care of his business.
"Father.." Miss Ella said surprised him.
"Well, haven't slept..?" Ask Mr. Vishnu while peeping his wife's forehead.
"Already, but awake.. There's no you beside me.." Miss Ella said to her husband.
Mr. Vishnu laughed and took his wife back to his room.
At that time, outside the house. Darkness night.. A mysterious figure was observing them.
