The Temptation of the Former
Approaches

Johan is actually still lazy to get into the office, but more lazy if you have to be in the house with all the problems that are happening to him. Johan didn't even have breakfast this morning. He left the residence of Alexander.

During the trip, Johan kept thinking about where Jihan was. Not to mention the problem to Vita's pregnancy that makes Johan's mind more chaotic. Married, he did not think about his marriage to Vita who was inside his head at this moment was how Jihan was currently.

Arriving at Johan's office directly down from the car, he did not immediately go to his room, he still had hope, namely meeting Malik, who knew Malik knew the whereabouts of Jihan.

Johan opened the door of the finance department suddenly, making Mr. Kus, jenny, cika, and Malik surprised while looking at Johan who was now standing at the door. Johan looked at Malik sitting on his desk chair.

"Malik, you can talk for a while" Johan told Malik.

~~

On the roof of the main building king group.

Johan and Malik were standing side by side while staring nanar towards the front, looking at the sky that looked cloudy this morning. Malik turned to look at Johan who had only been silent since.

"What did Brother Johan call me here?" ask Malik at the end.

Johan turned towards Malik who was now looking at him, "Do you know anything about Jihan's current whereabouts?" ask Johan.

Malik scrunched his forehead when he heard Johan's question, "What does Johan mean, instead of him living with his current friend."

Johan breathed heavily, bending his face again. It turns out Malik does not know anything about the existence of Jihan, then where else he should look.

"Sir, answer me," said Malik again when Johan just kept quiet without answering his question.

Johan looked back at Malik who was already curious, knowing that Malik would not let him go before he told him everything.

"Diamond ... Jihan left, and all this was because of my mistake, I asked Kinan and I looked everywhere but I didn't find her anywhere" Johan said.

"Error? What kind of mistake did you mean?" ask Malik curiously.

"I can't tell you, if you have any information about Jihan's whereabouts, tell me" Johan said, leaving Malik still in his place.

By evening, Jihan was still asleep on her bed, since yesterday she still looked gloomy. Since his departure, he has never activated his phone at all.

Slowly Jihan blinked her eyes as she heard the knocking sound of the door from outside.

He slowly got up from his sleep and walked to open the door. It turned out that bi siti was knocking on the door.

"You go to the fields, the atmosphere there is very beautiful in the afternoon," said bi Siti.

"By bi, I'm also bored at home constantly" Jihan said as she stretched her achy body after waking up.

"Okay, auntie wait outside yeah," said bi Siti.

"Yes Bi" said Jihan.

Jihan turned back inside her room to pick up her jacket and her red knit scarf. The atmosphere in the village was cold because it had just finished raining.

Jihan stepped her feet towards the terrace. Laila was ready to give him a ride to the fields. While bi Siti in between Mela who can indeed ride a motorcycle.

"La, are you sure you can screw up big brother?" ask Jihan to Laila. Time passed by so quickly Laila, her neighbor's son who was a child when both of Jihan's parents died, is now a teenager.

"Yes, believe me, I'm used to it" said Laila.

Jihan just smiled, then climbed on top of Laila's matic motorbike. Along the way, Jihan can feel things she did not get in the capital, the atmosphere, the air, and the calmness she can only get here.

Arriving at the farm, Nino followed bi Siti, Mela and Laila walking to the middle of the rice field. While Jihan stepped her feet towards a bamboo hut in the middle of the rice field.

Cottage roofed Nira leaves with open walls. Jihan sat in the cottage while enjoying the view of the rice fields. Breezy wind hit his skin, the scarf he was wearing seemed unable to ward off the cold that was now felt. Jihan looked up at the sky that was already bright after the rain had subsided.

The sun began to sink right in front of Jihan. Jihan closed her eyes feeling the sunlight that was about to leave the earth. Closing his eyes, the shadow of Johan's face came back, quickly Jihan opened her eyes again.

" Sister Jo, do you feel the same way every time you close your eyes, otherwise I'm the only one who is tormented" Jihan said.

Arriving at the Apartment building, Johan immediately stepped foot toward the apartment unit owned by Vita. Johan pressed the bell many times without stopping. Vita appeared from behind the door, she looked at Johan with a bitter smile.

Johan, without warning, entered the apartment while Vita was still standing in front of the open door.

"Why are you still standing there" said Johan who is currently in the living room of the apartment.

Vita moved from her place, she walked over to Johan who was currently standing with a face that was so agitated.

"I didn't even ask you to come, but you came alone, great," said Vita, holding hands.

"No need for pleasantries, I came here because I wanted to ask you for an explanation, about the child in your womb ... Who, who is the father of the child?" asked Johan in annoyance.

"Of course, your son" said Vita.

"Vita! I never even did that with you, so how could he be my son" Johan said.

"I don't know! I don't know who I did it with that night, which is clear you, you must be the father of this child!" peekik Vita who has lost her patience.

"Are you out of your mind, why am I responsible for a baby that is not my flesh and blood. You know, my mom and dad were so angry when they found out about this, let alone your two parents who were getting into a corner, you have to explain to them" Johan said.

"I'd rather die than tell them .. Now you go, get out of here!" yell Vita.

"Vita I beg you not to be like this" said Johan trying to persuade Vita. But it seems Vita is even more upset.he pushes Johan's body out of the door.

"Go! Don't show up in front of me until our wedding day" Vita said, then closed the door again.

Johan kicked the door hard.he felt annoyed, angry, disappointed and all the things that represented his current feelings. All the troubles now are upon him. Jihan is the only power she has, but she's gone somewhere.

Johan felt alone, alone in fighting for his life, no one understood what else supported him, all of which cornered him even his parents. Johan sat leaning against the wall of the apartment rubbing his face violently.

"I try not to remember you and expect you to come back, but the more I try, the more broken my heart goes to pieces. Everything we've ever been through there's no way I can just lie to you, please come back, I am weak without you" Johan said in his heart.
