Suddenly a Young Wife
Alfian and Samanta

"So.., as Aska said," Orion still had not lost his sense of surprise. He looked at his father with a look of disbelief.

"Let's tell me. Right now the most important thing is that we have to catch Aska first!" Mr. Alfian said as he stepped out of the room in a hurry.

Although Orion was still confused, he finally decided to follow his father's steps out of the room.

"We need to find your sister as soon as possible, before she's far away!" Said Mr. Alfian who was already in the car, and Orion was also behind the wheel ready to step on the accelerator and the car sped away.

"The boy was troublesome once, what ride did he escape!" Orion complained when his car had started to drive on the highway splitting the streets of the capital. His eyes watched the streets closely. Likewise with his father who meticulously observed every car that passed by his side.

Orion's eyes seemed to be thinking for a moment. "Oh.., I know, she must have gone to that big house!" Orion said enthusiastically. He immediately increased the speed of his car.

His father who was sitting beside him, looked at him with a raised eyebrow feeling puzzled, "Home?"

"Yes.., well, this afternoon I saw him in a big house on the street.Arteri along with a middle-aged woman." Clearly Orion took his eyes off the streets for a moment. And almost he grazed the other car in front of him if only he did not rush to avoid.

"Fiuuhhh.., it's almost!" Orion breathed a sigh of relief.

"Be careful, son, that was dangerous!" Mr. Alfian tried to remind.

"Yes yeah!" Orion answered briefly and his gaze refocused on the streets.

******

"This is her house?" Mr. Alfian cried when the car he was driving with Orion stopped right in front of a large house that looked unkempt. He tilted his head to peek out.

"Yes, I saw Aska in this house this afternoon?" Sahut Orion while removing his sit bell. Just as he was about to get out of the car, suddenly his father's hand tried to prevent him. Orion looked at his father confused. Then he started following his father's point of view. And now he understands.

Mr. Alfian and Orion stared for a moment. They had just seen Aska who was starting to enter the house. And it looks like the house is also kept very tight. "We must have a plan, son, this is too dangerous for us!"

"What's dad's plan now?" Orion seemed to be waiting.

"We'd better go home first, let him stay here for a while, at least we know Aska's okay, and I'm sure Samanta won't hurt his own son!" Without asking much more, Orion was finally just nodding. He immediately started the car engine again, then immediately left from there.

"Actually, what is the relationship of the father, with the woman named Samanta? And also Aska's real father?" Once in Liputi silence. finally Orion can no longer bear to express his curiosity. They are still on the road heading home.

"We'd better stop at a cafe, let me tell you there."

"Well yeah!" Orion said, and he remembered that at the end of the road they were going through there was a small cafe located on the right side of the road. Orion immediately drove his car there.

Dherrt...Dherrt...

Suddenly Hp Orion shook as his car stopped at the cafe courtyard. He immediately reached into his pants pocket, then pressed the green button to pick up the incoming phone connection.

"Hello, honey, where are you?" The voice of a woman on the other end of the phone sounded panicked. And Orion chuckled a little. It was as if Ariana's question his wife was sounding funny in his ear.

"Why? Kangen huh?" Orion's Temptation still chuckled. And at the same time he turned to his father, when he realized, he was not alone at the moment. He still wanted to seduce his wife.

"I'm with dad outside, we'll be home in an hour or two." Orion answered in the usual tone as possible. Suddenly he felt awkward with the father who accidentally listened to his appeal to his wife earlier.

"Yes, bye, assalamualaikum!" Orion ended his phone call.

"Later home, yes!" Orion immediately turned off his phone with a reddened face holding in shame. Ariana laughed in her place.

Huh.., there-is just. At a time like this...Orion's murmur was shrivelled.

******

Orion and his father were already seen inside the cafe, they were sitting at one of the tables and sitting face to face. In front of the two of them also seemed to be available two cups of warm coffee that they ordered before.

Mr. Alfian sipped his coffee which still looked full, while Orion just stirred his coffee with a small spoon in his hand. He still seemed to wait for the story from his father who had not yet opened his voice and made him very curious.

"Then, about 25 years ago, I, Samanta, and his father Aska, whose name was James. We used to be friends when we went to college abroad." Mr. Alfian put his coffee back on the table while starting the story. Orion stopped his action. Choose to fold his hands on the table, then then pay more attention to his father's story.

"Then you three got into a love triangle?" Orion's chirps are starting to get impatient. And Mr. Alfian just shook his head slowly.

"No, they're both close friends, you could say they're my best friends. Because only the two of them always accompany father in the joy and sorrow of that time!"

"Then?" Orion's getting excited.

"Samanta and James love each other, they've been together since school. It's only natural that Samanta feels lost when James suddenly leaves for eternity."

"Said Aska, Uncle James is dead because father, father also said, owed his life to that man, what does all this have to do?"

Mr. Alfian was silent to Orion's question like that. He took a slow breath before finally answering. "At that time, exactly 15 years ago, James and and Samanta decided to get married, and soon they had a son whom they named Aska."

"While Dad was married to your mother, your age was five years old. And at that time, the company that I was trying to develop was undercapitalized, and James was always the loyal investor. He always gives an injection of funds until the father's company has made rapid progress..." Mr. Alvian stopped. Trying to pause his sentence.

"But the higher the tree, the higher the wind. So did dad, along with dad's success. Many are also hostile to father. Dad's been through a lot of terror threats from your business opponents. But James always tried with all his might to protect Dad. Until finally, in order to protect the father, he sacrificed his life when a business opponent father was about to shoot the father with his gun, it just so happened that James was there trying to block the bullet from penetrating my father's body and hitting his own..."

Flashback 15 years ago

"James! James's! Wake up!" Alfian looked panicked, even his tears had started to pour out, The person he called James was already drooping on the floor covered in blood. He held the head of James who had begun to be unconscious.

"JAMES!!!" Alfian screamed hysterically when he did not get a response from his best friend. Even his heartbeat was not heard. He immediately put his best friend back on the floor slowly, then immediately stood up and walked towards the shooter with a terrible look.

Alfian continued to walk without fear, making the person in front of him tremble and drop his gun. As Alfian tried to grab the gun from the floor, that's when the shooter used it to escape.

"Alfian, you...!" Until finally the voice sounded and shocked Alfian. He saw a woman he knew very well was already in the room. Her eyes widened to see the body of her husband who had been drooping on the floor covered with blood. And what was even more surprising was, Alfian who was a sedan grasped a gun in his hand.

"Samanta, is this not what you imagined?" Alfian was panicked, but he did not dare to approach, because he realized that the gun in his hand must have scared the woman. He immediately threw it in all directions.

"I don't think you're a murderer!" Accuse Samanta while sobbing.

"Samanta, please, listen to me first..." Persuade Alfian and his sentence was interrupted.

"That's enough!! I can't believe you are!" Sela Samanta with a voice increasingly hysterical and her crying was increasingly broken.

"But mom-..."

SERIATE.
