MEET RANTI

(POV JOHAN)

That night, my eyes refused to close. There is nothing that adorns the mind other than Ranti's face. Who would have thought that we would be reunited after being separated for decades? Randy's hasn't changed. She is still beautiful even though her face is slowly aging.

To be honest, my feelings for Ranti have long since died. However, I still wonder what happened to that woman. The last time she told me she was pregnant was when It looks like Ranti is lying.

My son, Senyo, is five years older than Nara. That means I got married before Ranti. Nara also said that he was an only child. From this alone, I can conclude that Ranti was only making up stories at that time.

By 23:00, I was still restless. Meanwhile, Runi could hear her soft snoring. Not long after, I heard the roar of Senyo's engine. I deliberately went out to check things out.

"Are you home, Sen?" I asked after our faces met.

"Yes, Daddy." Senyo went to her room, and at that moment, my head was filled with many questions.

"Whoa! Why alone? Where's Nora? " I asked.

Senyo explained the incident he experienced with Nara. He said that Nara left him in the cafe parking lot. Senyo also tried to look for Nara everywhere but couldn't find him. Finally, Senyo decided to go home because he thought that Nara had already arrived.

I spontaneously panicked. As far as I know, Nara doesn't hold any money. I was stupid for not giving him that life-saving item. I invite Senyo to look for Nara. Hearing our commotion, Runi woke up and asked about what had happened. Runi decides to get in the car and join the search for Nara's whereabouts. We spent a long time circling in the city area. Even until one o'clock in the morning, Nara was nowhere to be found.

We decided to return home. waiting for him on the terrace. A few moments later, Nara appeared with a body covered in mud. I was beyond shocked. When I asked, Senyo suggested that Nara immediately clean up.

The next day, we had breakfast together. After learning why Nara came home alone, I finally decided to buy the girl a new cellphone. I don't want an incident like this to happen again. Furthermore, soon Nara will be the wife of my son, Senyo.

"Buy a new cellphone for Nara?" Runi interrupts. The spoon in his hand fell onto the plate.

"Yes," I replied quickly.

"For what, sir? Nara is always at home. "

"We don't know what will happen in the future. "Let Nara have a cellphone so she can easily contact all of us," I said, and then ate the last remaining food.

"Next time, Daddy. I have to work today, "Senyo said to me.

Runi and Senyo seemed to object to the decision I had made. I don't know what's wrong. Even though Nara will soon be part of Johan's family too,

"You can go to the cafe after shopping."

I closed the offer. Immediately, I left the dining table and then left the house. Let Senyo accompany Nara to buy a new cell phone.

When I arrived at the crossroads, I took the left lane. I should have turned right. It's just that there's something I want to finish today. Since last night, I have not calmed him down.

A 45-minute drive away.I arrived at a house dominated by wood. I vaguely saw a woman struggling with a cilok cart. I got out of the car and approached the figure.

"Jo-Johann? What are you doing here? " The woman looked shocked and nervous at the same time.

I decided to visit Ranti's residence again. This time without Nara. I had a bad feeling before receiving an answer from him. Soon, Ranti will be my besan. It would be awkward if there was something unfinished between us. My intentions are good and nothing like that. I want past events to be cleaned up.

"You want to go sell it?" I asked casually. Honestly, I was too nervous.

"Where's Nora?" Ranti just nodded and changed the subject.

"Nara is out with her future husband. I came here myself. "

Ah! the What for? " Netra Ranti rounded out. He quickly locked the door and was about to leave.

"Ranti, wait!" I held Ranti's arm. Feeling touched, he immediately distanced himself.

"Don't mess around, Mr. I'm your prospective family, "he warned.

I laughed bitterly. I knew for sure that Ranti had had bad thoughts about me. Ranti Ranti, it turns out, she hasn't changed. She is the type of woman who is very respectful. That's why I don't believe that at that time, Ranti was pregnant out of wedlock, let alone with another man.

"It's precisely because we are going to be besan that I came.

"What does it mean?" Ranti suppressed the intention of leaving me.

"Ranti, I know you lied to stay away from me. What are you actually doing? You're not pregnant, are you? The proof is that Senyo is five years older than Nara. "

"So, you came just to discuss the past?" Ranti's jaw began to harden.

"It is not like that. My heart is not at ease if I haven't found the answer. I just want to build a good relationship with my grandma. "

"All right, Mr. I don't think we need to bring up the past. After all, we both have families, right? " Ranti turned her face.

"Not bringing it up, Ranti. I just want my curiosity to be answered. "

"What's the use, sir?" Ranti's voice was getting high.

"Ranti, do you know that I almost died thinking about you? Do you know how hard it was for my parents to wake me up at that time? You are cruel, Ranti! I even keep our marriage proposal ring to this day. I already have a new family and love, but don't think I'll forget our story. How could I possibly be comfortable meeting you face-to-face when there is something unfinished? " I said it at length. I got spontaneously carried away. I thought Ranti would not be stubborn like this.

"Please get out of here!" Ranti's index finger landed on the street.

I didn't move right away. I watched him put the sauce in the bottle. So sad. If only Ranti had not left, she would have been happy with me now. I was so sorry to see the situation.

Brugh!

Suddenly, a voice came from the side of the house.

Ranti ran towards the source, as did I, and we were both provoked.

"Who?" Ranti squealed.

We found nothing after walking around the house. Maybe it was the sound of fruit falling from the tree.

Ranti was ready to push the cart. Before leaving, he took the time to talk to me.

"There's no need to discuss anything that happened in the past, even if Nara doesn't know if Mas is my ex-lover. Now just focus on each other's lives. I hope Mas can accept my decision and never come here again, other than with Nara. Excuse me, "said Ranti. Slowly, his back moved away.

"Arrrrgh!" I squeezed my hair until it pulled out. The plan had failed to extract information from Ranti.

I no longer chase that woman. However, until whenever, I will continue to find out why he left me and chose another man.
