The Love That Reunites
Chapter 72

After finishing breakfast at lunchtime, Reyhan chose to watch television in his room.

Tok

"Who comes on holidays?" Reyhan Mumbled. He immediately got up from his seat and opened the door.

"Vizah!"

"Siang Reyhan" Vizah nyelonong entered without asking for permission. He sat on the sofa.

"Do you want to?" Reyhan immediately sat down in front of the woman.

"Visiting only. I hear your position is faltering" Sahut Vizah.

"Continue?"

"I can help you. But on one condition.." Vizah leaned her body towards Reyhan.

"Cancel your marriage to Adel"

Reyhan's eyes rounded hearing her. How could he cancel his wedding when they just count the days. Although he was so eager to cancel the wedding but it is impossible for now.

"If I don't want to? And what's in it for you?"

"Good thing for me is that I can get you. If I can't have you then no one else can either.."

"If you don't want to, then I'll separate you from Adel just as I separate you from Clara and Ara"

The deg!

Reyhan's heart stopped hearing Vizah's words. Separate it from Ara? Whatdoes thatmean?

"You must be confused. Listen Reyhan, you must have heard the story from Farel. How he and I separated you and Clara. But you haven't heard this story yet.." Vizah leaned her body on the sofa and folded her hands together.

"Before that, you must have asked me why I'm telling you now. As proof, if I could do anything to get you. If you say I'm a crazy woman. I accept it because it's true. I'm crazy about you Reyhan, even killing someone"

"Kill?!" Tanya Reyhan gasped.

"Yes. I don't want to see you blame yourself again for Ara's death. Actually, I was the one who killed Ara"

Reyhan stared hard at Vizah. He tried to hold back his emotions that had reached ubun ubun. He still did not understand Vizah's words. He doesn't want to be rash.

"That day I saw him running in the rain. As he passed by, I deliberately interrupted my driver until he accidentally hit him. Lucky you called him so he stopped and made it easier for me to hit him. But you blame yourself instead. It makes me feel a little guilty. But I'm glad he's dead" Vizah grinned happily.

"Lo's sick! Lo crazy! Why did you sell it to Ara?! For 13 years I've always wronged myself who has made Ara dead! I even got depressed!" Reyhan glassy. He really wanted to kill the woman in front of him. But his common sense still works.

"I'm sorry about that. I just want to have you. Is that wrong?" Ask Vizah.

"It would be wrong to go to gini!" Bentak Reyhan's.

"Gue doesn't need your help. Better you go, before I lose control" Reyhan stared intently at Vizah making the woman shudder in horror. He hurried to leave Reyhan.

Reyhan was silent for a long time. Until he arrived he kicked his desk and destroyed whatever was in the room. The mess that he made last night has not been resolved, plus this one makes his room like a bomb.

"I'm sorry, Ara.. Hiks, sorry. You are not because of me. I'm the cause of your death..." Reyhan sat down after tired of smashing his stuff. He smacked his chest that was claustrophobic with all his guilt all along.

Reyhan then stood up and strode away leaving his ruined room.

Reyhan drove his car to his elementary school which was quite a distance away.

When he got there. He deliberately went around remembering all the memories that had happened there. He smiled slightly as he looked at the place where the first meeting with Ara was. Sweet girl who is so tough and brave against friends who bully her.

He walked to the place he liked the most in Ara.

"Memories remain memories. Too bad I can't see you again, Ara. If I could, I'd take you here and remember our togetherness. Unfortunately it's impossible because of you.." Reyhan could not continue his words. He just breathed in.

He walked to the library, where Ara liked the most.

"Unlocked?" Reyhan opened the door slowly. He saw an old man cleaning a bookshelf.

"Eh, who is it?" The old man approached Reyhan.

"I'm Reyhan, sir. This school alumnus was 13 years ago" Reyhan then kissed the man's hand.

"Please sit down" Take the man.

"What do you need to do here?" The man sat in front of Reyhan.

"Visiting only. I miss this place" Reyhan looked around. A lot has changed but the mood is still the same.

"The father of the perpus guard 13 years ago right? It turns out you're still working here" Reyhan said, staring at the old man.

"Yes, I want to dedicate myself to this school" Mr. Marno the library guard smiled.

"Sir, do you know Ara? Schoolgirl who was killed by a car 13 years ago"

"Fuck? Ara yes.. Em, yeah I remember. He used to come here a lot. If it's not wrong I still keep the picture" Mr. Marno walked up to his desk and opened the drawer. He took a photo album and showed it to Reyhan.

"This little girl, right?" Marno pointed to one of the photos.

"Yes.." Reyhan smiled bitterly at her. He gently rubbed a photo of Ara smiling while holding a book.

"Are you his classmate?" Ask Mr. Marno.

"No. I've only ever been close to him"

Reyhan was surprised to hear that. Is he not the one who is gone? So who? He believes 13 years ago the accident killed Ara. He saw with his own eyes.

"Ma_meaning father?"

"So like this. The one who was hit by a car 13 years ago was not Ara but another student. It just so happens that the clothes they use are the same. Why is that Ara? Because the perpetrator who hit him was the driver of a conglomerate boy who hated Ara so much"

'Vizahs. That conglomerate kid must be Vizah'

"To cover it up, they deliberately stopped the investigation of the case.. The one that's not Ara, but Aira"

The deg!

"With the help of money, they managed to assign the victim's name to Ara, not Aira. That they did so that their son would not be disappointed and would not try to kill Ara again. I was very confused by the thought of the child's parents who instead supported the behavior of his son who was clearly clearly guilty" explained Mr. Marno.

"Eh, son, son.. Hey, what's wrong with you?" Marno shook Reyhan's body.

"Son Reyhan. Conscious, call it son.."

"Ara's alive.."

Mr. Marno heard Reyhan muttering. He felt Reyhan must have a close relationship with Ara so badly hit.

"Yes, he's alive. The day after the news, he moved. He still sees me here. He said he wanted to see someone before he moved. But that guy didn't come. He was very disappointed at the time"

"Do you know where Ara moved?" Reyhan asked looking hopefully at Marno.

"Unfortunately not"

Reyhan then said goodbye to Mr. Marno.

The day looks cloudy, soon it seems like it will rain. Reyhan drove his car to that place.

When he arrived there, it coincided with heavy rain falling.

Reyhan stared at the place. Nothing has changed. That red light, that street, that crossing, even where it stands now is the same as it was 13 years ago.

Reyhan still vividly remembers the dark events of 13 years ago. How he called Ara and made her die. Everything still remembered so clearly, the atmosphere, the sound of people screaming when they saw the accident happened and also the sound of an ambulance carrying him and Ara's body. Everything revolved around Reyhan's head making his head feel dizzy. His sight blurred. This was the place he had avoided the most after the accident. A place that made her feel so guilty and traumatized. The place that made him hate himself so much. The place that made her reluctant to approach women for fear of getting her hurt like Ara... The place where he lost his first love.

"Sir Reyhan!" A woman came running to Reyhan. He immediately looked at Reyhan.

"What are you doing here? Why stand in the rain? You'll get sick like this" Clara looked anxiously at Reyhan's pale face.

Reyhan who was struck by deep sadness immediately hugged Clara and cried in the woman's arms.

"Hey.. Wh why? Did something happen?" Clara saw Reyhan so badly that she let him hold her.

Reyhan's not moving made him anxious.

"Sir! Did he faint?" Clara's guess is right. Reyhan fainted a moment ago.

Clara broke him into Reyhan's car. He immediately put Reyhan's seat belt on and prepared to drive the car.

"I hope I didn't hit something" Clara said then ran the car slowly.

"Hold on, I'll take you to the hospital"

"Don't.. Not the hospital" Reyhan said softly with eyes still closed.

A confused Clara must take Reyhan where to choose to take Reyhan to her home.

When he got home. Clara immediately calls her mother to help her get Reyhan in.

"Why is he, son?" Tanya Bu Tari helps Clara get Reyhan.

"I don't know either.. Suddenly he fainted"

Clara took Reyhan to her room. He laid the man down, pulled out his shoes and covered him.

"He's soaking wet. We need to change his clothes"

"Mother if so" Sahut Clara was quick.

"Tok mom anyway? You should be, he's your boss" Ms. Tari replied.

"But I'm ashamed Ma'am" Clara said.

"Then I do!" Cousin Laila from behind the door.

"Don't!" Shouted Clara and her mother together.

"Still leak. Can't do. Remember your boyfriend" Clara said, staring intently at her 17-year-old sister.

Inevitably it was Clara who changed Reyhan's clothes that were soaked. Just his clothes alone, he did not dare to change his pants.

Clara went to the kitchen to get some warm water and cloth to compress Reyhan.

"You're always like this. Can't it not trouble me? You always get sick this late" Clara said as she placed a compress on Reyhan's forehead.

Clara took Reyhan's shirt and hung it. On a whim, he reached into Reyhan's pocket hoping that there was money in it. But he found something that made him remember the past.

"I didn't expect you to still have my keychain" Clara held onto the keychain as she stared at Reyhan.
