Adherent


Angga and Ayu enter a restaurant on the edge of the lake. The sun is fully immersed, replaced with a beam of lights that illuminate. The place was indeed very beautiful with sparkling light that surrounds, but not as beautiful as the heart of Angga who began to worry. 


"Are you sure this is the place?" whispers in Ayu's ears.


His eyes continued to surround the dominant room with sculptures as well as ancient paintings. In every corner there are antique objects that spoil the eyes. Interesting enough to pose.


"We'll just sit here." Ayu pulled Angga's hand. He turned his head towards the empty chair near them. 


There were some visitors who seemed to enjoy the meal. The waitress came and approached them. 


"Sorry, Ma'am. Was there a woman who asked Ayu Lestari's name?" ask Angga to the beautiful woman. 


"No, Sir. Probably not here yet" he answered kindly. 


Angga ordered two hot drinks. Then grab Ayu's phone. 


Judging from the message sent, that person indeed seemed to know Ayu. However, he was a little suspicious because he did not mention his name. 


It's not just a trap. 


Angga sent a message back and said that it had arrived. Then ask her name. 


Sorry, Madam. I'm still on the road. 


That's the answer of a mysterious person. 


Angga was a little worried. Then, he contacted the guards to increase security at the store. Also ask Ikram and the children not to get out of the place. 


It's been almost five minutes of waiting. There was no sign of anyone coming to see him. Most visitors who enter are young couples. 


"Did he forget his address?" ask Ayu silly.


The goose could only hold back the laughter. Expelled the anxiety that had been enveloping him. 


"Might not forget. Maybe the tires deflated," replied Angga origin. He sipped a new drink. 


Not long after, a beautiful woman walked from the outside.  Without asking, the woman approached Ayu and Angga who were busy talking. 


"Sorry Bu Ayu, I'm late" he said cupping both hands. 


Ayu smiled slightly. Let the woman sit. His brain kept recalling the face of the young woman who already knew his name. 


How did I forget about him?  


It is not usual for Ayu to forget people who are already known. In fact, from the look of his face also looks foreign.


Angga fell silent, occasionally seeing Ayu's slightly clumsy face.


If they knew each other, there was no way Ayu was that awkward. 


Angga began to catch the smell of strangeness on the face of the future wife. However, he could do nothing but follow the game that had already begun. 


"Mother's time forgot? My name is Monalisa."


Ayu smiled softly, she still did not remember the woman, but pretended to know her. 


"O, yes sorry. Because many of my clients have forgotten," said Ayu felt guilty. 


Do not know also papa, just know me, grumbled Angga in the heart. 


"I'm sorry I interrupted my mother's time. My goal is to get you to meet here to talk about cooperation. I used to want to come to the store, but my friend said Mom was busy with wedding preparations and maybe meeting here could be more focused," said Monalisa at length. 


"What's the cooperation, ma'am?" tanya Ayu made sure. 


Monalisa opened her bag and picked up the green map. Then, put it in front of Ayu. 


"I also have an unused shop. And I want to open it again, but there's no capital. Can you lend me money. Or I can take the goods from Mother's store, later we share the results," he said. 


Ayu opened the map and read one by one the writing listed. As Monalisa said a few seconds ago, the woman asked for her help and will share the benefits.


"Look, Mum!" Ayu handed the paper to Angga. Ask the man for help to decide. Not without reason, Ayu only hesitated to be bound by a treaty with a person she thought was foreign. 


"Why should his name be changed? Do you have your own logo? It should be if you really want to work together it still uses the product Ayu, not the others." 


Angga expressed his heart a little awkward. 


"A company will still recognize its own rather than other products. If that happens, then the existing one will be different, obviously the logo of the first party is not recognized because it has been renamed with the second one. I disagree," Angga refused blatantly. 


He put the paper in its original place and returned it to Monalisa.


Monalisa seemed confused and could no longer dwell. He entered the map quickly and moved from his seat. 


"I'm sorry, if you don't want to accept my offer, I'm sorry." Leave the place quickly. 


Strange, it seems like he is just a man, but who would want to cheat Ayu. 


Angga finished his coffee. Staring at Ayu who was still dumbfounded by what happened. If there was no Angga, maybe he had already signed without much asking. 


"We're home, it's late.'' Angga looked at the clock that was coiled in his hand. They left that useless place. 


"Mas," call Ayu from behind. 


Angga stopped his steps which were about to arrive near the car. He looked towards the wife who looked terrified. 


"I remember that lonely road. Have these nights passed by. I'm scared." 


Angga held back laughter. Grab Ayu's hand and take her to the car. 


"There will be nothing. I've prepared everything, so don't be afraid. There can't be ghosts there either" Angga said convincingly. Even though he himself was a little anxious. 


Ayu agrees and gets into the car. Chant a prayer in your heart before the car leaves the parking lot. 


Sure enough, his arrival in a place far from the village felt very dark. There are only a few lights that turn dim into lights, even though it is very far away. 


Ayu unceasingly said a prayer in her heart. They asked for protection for both of them. 


"Close your eyes, dear," said Angga breaking the silence. 


Ayu did what Angga asked without protest. Hope everything's okay. 


Shortly afterwards, there were several people standing in front of Angga's car. Without a warning Angga also turned on the police siren he had installed before leaving until some people who were lined up now scattered to leave the place in different directions. 


"Don't open your eyes" Angga said later. He drove his car at high speed leaving the place and hoped that no one else would want to harm him. 


The car has entered a village to make Angga relieved. 


"Now open your eyes!" tell Angga. 


Slowly Ayu followed Angga's instructions and he breathed a sigh of relief after passing through the very creepy place.
