The Second Lead Fate
One Hundred Twenty Four

Adhi sees Kenzo going away and plans to leave as well. He only has until tonight in Jakarta. Tomorrow he will go to Singapore and probably won't see Jakarta again for quite some time. The process of selling a home can be arranged even if he is in Singapore. Adhi drove a rental car and drove down all the streets in Jakarta he had ever remembered. Before long he stopped somewhere very familiar with his heart. This alley, why is he here?  Adhi did not want to spend much time here and chose to continue the journey when his car nudged someone.

"Wad. Can you bring a car?"

An angry man in front of his car. Adhi never saw the old man coming. Is it because he was daydreaming?

Immediately Adhi got out of the car and apologized for his carelessness.

"Sorry Sir. I was daydreaming for a moment"

"Dreaming? Oh, not you"

Adhi raised his chin and looked at an old man and woman in front of him. Aren't they?

"Oh, you're her husband Feli ya" said Ambar's mother still remembering him.

He shouldn't have come here. Why did his hand bring Adhi here?

"Sorry Sir, Mom. I was not intentionally"

"We should be the ones apologizing"

"What?" Adhi now feels clueless.

"We can't come to your wife's time ... "

Oh, Adhi now understands.

"It's okay. I'm not fighting it"

"Aren't you overseas? How is it in Jakarta?"

Actually Adhi wants to leave this place immediately.he is afraid that his existence here will be known to Ambar. What if the woman sees him again? what if Ambar who is married and will have the child sees it?

"I have business in Jakarta. But tomorrow we're back out of the country"

"Oh. Where now? England?"

"Eh, no. In Singapore"

"Ohh. Duh, you are bule huh. So tall. Mom's neck is tired"

"What?" Adhi had never heard anything like that from anyone. It is 186 cm tall but has never had a problem with it. Why did he now receive a comment that he thought was so funny that he unconsciously laughed?

And when there was silence, Adhi began to consciously make a mistake by laughing in front of Ambar's parents.

"Oh, sorry"

"Who are you looking for?" asked Ambar's father who seemed to dislike his presence. Since then, the old man had been staring at him sharply.

"I'm not looking for anyone"

"You go there!" said Ambar's father then went into the alley that was three meters wide.

"Duh Father. Is talking about the same people? But ... really, too. If you don't find anyone mending go, don't let Ambar see you again. If you can't go to Jakarta again"

Whahuh? Why are these two old men kicking him out now? What does he know about his problem with Ambar? But the woman was not the type who would make both her parents worry by telling her all about her problems.

"sorry. I'll go right now"

"good. Until now Ambar has not been able to forget the same Feli. I'm afraid if I see you, Ambar can go back to kayak first"

Adhi plans to leave soon but is restrained because of what he just heard.

"Oh, I don't know why. But since Feli's death, Ambar has changed. Do not want to eat until a few days, do not want to work and his job is just praying while crying. I think it's just sad because his best friend isn't around, but it continues right now. It's worse now than it used to be. Ambar said he didn't want to get married, didn't want to deket-deket pregnant women and like never call-in the same Rea again"

Adhi is still trying to digest all the stories of Ambar's mother carefully. And something stuck in his heart.

"Ambar doesn't want to get married?"

"Yes. We tried to introduce the same person but failed"

"Wouldn't you go near someone who's pregnant?"

"Yes. Ambar now if you see pregnant people like fear. Out cold sweat keeps getting away from it"

"Rea?"

"Oh that's worse. Usually Ambar like to confide in the same peace in England, but now the mother never heard again the name Rea called. I asked once but Ambar's face changed when I said Rea's name"

Wait for. Why is everything he hears different from Kenzo's story? the foolish man said Ambar was married and pregnant. Even when he met Rea in England, Ambar's best friend never told him about this. Turns out they haven't contacted each other all this time? because what? Feli's death? Does that woman ... still feel guilty? Till now?

"Where's Ambar?"

"What?"

"Where's the mother's son now? Is Ambar home?"

"What do you want?"

Adhi looked into those eyes that were looking at him. Right, what is he going to do? Why is he looking for Ambar? Doesn't that make things worse?

"I"

"Mom don't know what the reason for a mother's child is like that, but I think it's related to you. Ambar likes you, his own husband"

exactly it. That's what happened. But there is a little different. He also loved Abar.even loved the woman so much that he made a big mistake.

"I ... "

"Mending you go now. Don't come here again. The further you get, the better it's gonna be for Ambar"

It was very desirable that he rejected Ambar's mother's words, but. He should have stayed away from Ambar's life, no matter what the woman's situation is now.

"I'm ... leaving now" he said then got in the car. He stepped on the gas and left Ambar's mother still looking towards his car.

Why else would he meet Ambar? Want to add to the woman's guilt? It was just that, when he thought that woman had forgotten him and lived happily. It turned out that everything was different from his expectations. What should he do now? how could he reduce Ambar's guilt? What's he supposed to do? Due to being too focused on his mind, Adhi accidentally almost hit the car in front of him. Adhi tries to calm himself down and decides to stop by the roadside first. His mind was too scared to forget Ambar.

Where is that woman now? Judging from the behavior of his parents, it seems that the woman has not returned home. Where then? Kenzos? not likely. Looks like Kenzo isn't too close to Ambar either. Where then? Adhi felt his head was going to explode from thinking about the woman. Wait ... There's one place that comes to mind in Adhi's brain. Shop. Adhi starts his car and immediately moves to the place he used to go when taking off his wedding suit.

"Right" he said when he found Ambar's car parked in front of a dark shophouse. But ... Where is that woman? The shop and the car were in the dark. What don't-don't? Adhi is impatient and knocks on the door of the dark shophouse. There was no response but he saw a dim light from the direction of the stairs. Adhi tries to open the door and turns out to be unlocked. He immediately went to the light source and found the woman he was looking for.

Ambar, is this what you are now? he asked in his heart and approached the body of the woman lying on the sofa. A tear on Ambar's cheek. Crying out? because what? Remembering Feli? Ohh, what has he done to this woman? Why did Ambar become like this?

Adhi was silent as Ambar began to open his eyes.Oh my God, why is he still longing for this woman? Why until now could he not forget the warmth of this woman's body? Why does he miss this woman so much?

"Fel, I'm sorry" said the woman, then covered her face with both hands and cried.

Wh why? Why does Ambar still feel guilty until now?

"I can still see that guy Fel. I can't forget about that guy, sorry I'm Fel"

Adhi took a step back. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. Ambar ... still loves her. Even until now. The woman ... still can't forget it.

O God, what should he do now? Should he stay away from this woman? Or can she hug Ambar and let them unite the love despite the guilt on Feli? Adhi was eager to get close but her hand was restrained. One side, he wanted to embrace Ambar but on the other side. He did not want to add any guilt to Ambar's heart. For the time being he chose to get off and out of Ambar's shop. Adhi can only see Ambar's room from his car and make sure the woman is unaware of his presence.
