The Story Behind the Curtain

The Story Behind the Curtain
The Action of the Ex


Erli who was still carrying his son got up from his seat and walked to the side of the room, he tried to find the whereabouts of the person who had called his name.


“Who? Don't scare me!” erli said as he opened the room curtain.


“This is me.”


“Gue who? Don't mess around!” said furious.


“After I appear, you should be calm without making the slightest surprised expression!” pinta the person who was still crouching next to the closet was looking for something.


"Hmm, I promise!” Erli nodded smallly in agreement to the person's request.


A man wearing a Safwan home security uniform appears.


Erli's eyes widen when he catches the figure of the man who used to be his lover during High School.


“Lo what's up, Er?” ask the man.


“A-I ... fine. How're you? Are you married?” Questions that make Bima awkward.


“Hmm,” murmured while smiling thinly.


“Gue can't expect to see you here.” She looked at Erli with question marks.


“Fortunately the person who became your wife,” Erli said unknowingly.


Erli's words made Bima surprised instead of playing, the first manta for Bima and vice versa for Erli. They used to be very happy lovers, but the happiness was lost because Bima had to change schools following her father who transferred duties outside the city.


Bima's father; a TNI officer in this country, the achievements achieved by his father are not relegated to his son—Bima Adiprama, a person who was much loved by Erli in high school.


“Ok done," said Bima who caught two of Safwan's pet hamsters.


"Sorry to disappoint you in the past. Honestly at that time I was angry at my mother and also my papa,” said Bima while picking up a pacifier that fell from Erli's hand.


“Yes okay,” said Erli while smiling thinly.


“How can you work in this place?” Erli lowered his head staring at the pair of legs of Bima who was wearing boots.


The man stepped back a few steps, "Sorry didn't mean anything" Bima said as she pointed at the surveillance camera in the corner of the room and at some point.


Erli followed the direction indicated by Bima, as if not surprised because he had researched exactly this when he died after fainting was brought to this place.


“Lo don't worry! At midnight, I'll get you out of here." Bima turned back to Erli who was still holding her baby.


“Seriousness?” erli said excitedly.


“Pelan 'kan lo sound! Wait for me, remember midnight don't fall asleep.” Bima reminded her ex-lover.


Sontak Erli nodded in excitement hearing that, for a few days here made him sad, stressed and a little depressed. Every time Safwan went into that room, he always asked Erli the decision he made. Erli ya Erli, the woman remained in her stance, rejected all offers and maintained her household that did not know how to go forward.


The clock continues to spin non-stop now the clock shows 23.00 WIB. Erli's heart was restless not playing, while he was still awake there was the sound of footsteps stopping in front of his bedroom door.


"Excuse me!" The voice behind the door broke Erli's daydream.


"Yes, please come in Sus!" sahut Erli from the room.


I think it's Bima. Where are you, Bim? murmured Erli in the heart.


"I'll check first, Madam." Safwan's personal doctor opened a bandage that wrapped the stitches of Caesar Erli.


"Lumayan quickly dry the seams. Keep his diet and do not forget to take medication regularly," said Safwan's personal doctor full of pleasantries.


Erli was tired of hearing the formality of Safwan's personal doctor, he knew very well that this doctor was not entirely good to him, ever he heard the doctor's murmur that humbled him.


"Little young master is also very healthy, tomorrow morning he can take off the ventilator and also the infusion."


this guy doesn't have a job, huh? it's almost midnight, Erli grumbled as he glanced at the doctor.


"What do you see, Madam?" ask the doctor.


"Who are you?" Spotlight Erli's eyes sharpening.


The doctor turned his face away and the right added suspicion in Erli's heart.


"If you don't confess I'll yell out to the guards in this house!" threaten Erli with glaring eyes.


Suddenly the doctor moved his hand slowly and it was noticed by Erli, then he looked at the face of the man who was standing not far from his bed.


"Male!" erli said with widened eyes.


Soon Bima kept her index teak on her lips. Bima's movements are a secret code that they once did while still dating, hand movements that give self information.


"Astagfirullah, you still remember our secret code." Erli tied up her messy hair.


"Quick put on my shirt and jacket" pointed Bima with her finger.


slowly Erli got down from her bed to the front door of the room, while Bima helped baby E wear a shirt with a small jacket. After all their equipment was ready, Bima took them out of the room without the knowledge of Safwan and other security staff.


When they reached the main door Erli accidentally nudged the vase located on the glass sideboard, Bima's reflex dropped to catch the vase. Luckily the object could be grabbed by Bima so they could get out safely.


"Lo wait for me here, don't go anywhere!" order Bima before leaving Erli beside the pillar.


Erli looked at the man's back that was as comfortable away from him.


I'm lucky to see you, Bim. Thank you for helping me out of this hell, Erli said in his heart.


Erli was still dumbstruck in his place, without him realizing there was a Safwan bodyguard who saw his shadow. Slowly but surely the man walked quietly approaching Erli who was still standing beside the front pillar of Safwan's stately house.
