THE FORMER SHADOW
30. Respective Plan

Arshaka clucked in annoyance. "Lo sat down, horrified me first" said Arshaka, "later shocked," he added, pulling Danish's hand. He sat back down after his shock made him reflexively stand up.

"Gini, I want you to say that you are practicing mindfulness, I ask for help so that you can introduce it to Rina," Pinta Arshaka.

"Why indeed?" ask Danish curiously. Danish was quite surprised because Arshaka had previously interrupted his training.

"At least it helps Rina to respond to all the events in the future," said Arshaka while imagining the bad things that can happen to Badrina's life, "I hope that Rina is not rash in taking a stand against one event," he added.

"Why didn't you do it to Aini?" ask Danish.

"A lot of people ask this, the problem is complicated for me to explain tonight, Dan. While you help me, slowly I will clearly sit the problem. But, I'm asking you not to tell Rina about this," Arshaka hoped to return.

"At least, you first clear my limits deketin Aini how? Let him fall in love with me, shall he?" danish asked in confusion.

"It's not going there, Danish. Lo it's the manager, but this is a matter of time that still does not understand," grumbled Arshaka while shaking his head.

"Not that, Shaka. You know Elmira?" danish asked, Arshaka nodded. "The woman was, four years ago, also asked by her late husband who was my friend to take care of her. Instead, ask me to marry him. Think about it," murmured Danish pointed at his forehead. Arshaka turned to know one fact about his friend and laughed.

"If you had married Elmira, now she wouldn't have gotten me" Arshaka lamented.

Danish grunting. "Yes, you don't know me?" point Danish at himself with a frowning face.

"Yes, I didn't ask to get there Danish, I didn't want to" decak Arshaka, "gue 'know your secret that is not interested in the opposite sex, not just anyone," arshaka said, opening the veil of the facts of Danish life hidden from the people.

"Well, that's pinter. Okay continue your story," Danish continued.

"So, your job is to introduce that conscious life. Yeah, like being a coach to Rina. I asked Rina to a psychologist or a mental doctor until now has not been done. Lina doesn't trust strangers. So, you will be very helpful" explained Arshaka mean it.

"Keep, what did I get?" Smiling on Danish's handsome face, his eyebrows moved up and down.

"What lo, look at me. Please Danish, remove me from your mind" said Arshaka who guessed the contents of Danish's mind.

Danish chuckles, splashes. "Your face is terrified, Shaka. I tend to the same sex, not just any time. I'm beating up people's husbands. I-i-i'm not you!" grouse Danish.

"Thankful deh. So, I'm safe, yeah. Call me what. Maybe I can fill it," Arshaka said. The man was glad that Danish was willing to help him, not in vain for his night-time arrival at the Danish house.

"That's it, there's no need to reply. Lo also helped me report to the board last year. Let's just say we break even" said Danish considering Arshaka's help when he was less than excellent in the presentation of the report at the company.

"But by the way Dan, a conscious mind for a fellow lover can ya?" Arshaka slips personal questions for Danish.

"Can, Shaka. I was born this way. Except, you fellow enthusiasts too, I now do not want to explain how it is. Don't you do that anyway?"

Arshaka said, he realized that he was too presumptuous to enter the private sphere of Danish. What is the orientation of the Danish is not the business of Arshaka, what causes such Danish let be the secret of the Danish themselves.

Arshaka says goodbye. His thoughts and feelings were much calmer than he had come to the Danish house. Poppy's words managed to make himself overwhelmed with misgivings.

One task Arshaka completed, stay Danish run the action. The rest, Arshaka will continue to monitor his ex-wife. There is a foreign feeling now felt by Arshaka towards Badrina.

Perhaps Arshaka will remain a shadow of his ex-wife for the happiness of Cantara.

The car drove away from the Danish residence towards his home.

Elsewhere, Poppy feels uneasy after her first encounter with Arshaka after years of not meeting. Poppy is agitated given Arshaka's threat that could bring down her image.

Poppy is upset because Arshaka is getting more and more willing to refute her. Poppy will not stay silent, can-can kecola Arshaka action.

"Hello, Hafez," Poppy greeted in such a gentle tone over the phone.

"Yes, Auntie," replied Hafez.

"Aunty bothers you?"

"No, Aunt. Can I help you?" ask Hafez and express his willingness to help.

"Ah, you know Auntie needs your help. Hafez, how did you move regarding Badrina after the first meeting."

Hafez thought for a moment. She recalls Badrina being forced back by Arshaka.

"As I once told Auntie, I like Badrina. She is a lovely woman" replied Hafez. "Only her ex-husband named Arshaka was still acting like he was still Badrina's husband, Auntie," he continued.

"Well, that's Hafez who Aunty is worried about and needs your help. Arshaka was during marriage not a good husband, did not pay attention to Badrina as a wife," said Poppy, "eatinga Auntie hope you have a faster movement to approach the pounding Aunt before Arshaka does something. Aunty pityes Badrina" he added trying to convince Hafez.

Hafez knows Poppy as a aunt who loves Badrina. Poppy did not say clearly what her goal was. The woman learned from her blunt failure eight years ago to Arshaka, so that the man was unruly when defying his original goal.

With Hafez, Poppy chose a softer step impressed good. If path A does not achieve maximum results, then for Poppy he must switch through road B.

"Yes, fine. Aunt. This week I plan to visit Badrina's house. But, do not know what day because our communication is still limited to light things," said Hafez.

Poppy sumringah's right there.

"Well! Very good plan you Hafez. Auntie is sure Badrina will accept you at her house with pleasure. Aunt's feeling is improving. Thank you, Hafez. Auntie is happy with you" said Poppy lifting Hafez with praise.

Hafez smiled across the street, "Yes, Auntie" he concluded.

Poppy laughed to herself in her private room after closing a conversation with Hafez over the phone. He imagined Arshaka's disappointment when he knew Badrina would choose Hafez and his goal would be achieved.

Poppy had been waiting for a long time when Badrina would have a psychiatric disorder or at worst.

For Poppy there is no failure a second time.
