My best friend, Maduku
Notifies

Arts Cafe is one of the best restaurants in a 5-star hotel in Jakarta, namely Raffles Jakarta Hotel. Located on the first floor of the Raffles hotel building.

Anand began to enter the luxurious building and look for an empty and comfortable seat. He occupies a table near a large glass that exposes the outdoor environment.

Still five minutes away from the predetermined schedule, but Anand and Max's secretary and his personal assistant, have come to the place.

"Max, what do you think of my decision now ?. Is this right ?." Anand asked his secretary.

Max, who has accompanied Anand since he held the company of his family's descendants for five years more, sometimes became the place for Anand to share stories both personal and work problems. And Max also sometimes provides solutions to problems faced by Anand.

"Yes, sir. I think Miss Keyya's parents should know where her daughter is. She must have been tired of trying to figure out Miss Keyya's whereabouts." Max answered his opinion.

Anand suddenly chuckles to make Max confused. "Why sir ?." Ask the boss.

"Do you know Max?, his name isn't actually Keyya, it's Chayra." Anand explained.

"Oh really?, so all this time we've been calling her name wrong huh ?."

"Yes, that's. At that time, Keyya also introduced himself as Keyya. Maybe because he's a kid and can't say his own name yet."

"Yes, it's likely that way sir." Max also chuckled.

Two different genres came. Anand stared fiercely at the face of the woman who walked behind his client, and vice versa. Two creatures who always behave like Tom and Jerry if met.

"Excuse me, gentlemen..." Aly said when he reached the table occupied by Anand and Max.

Anand immediately got up from his seat and greeted Aly's hand as a pleasantries followed by Max and Nareena.

"Please, Mr. Zuhally." Said Anand politely.

Aly nodded and sat down in the chair opposite Anand followed by Nareena who sat next to him facing Max.

"How ?, do we just start or want to eat first ?." Ask Aly later.

"We're going straight away, because I'm also in a hurry to go home." Anand replied directly. "But can we just talk about it together ?." Anand said again to make Aly and Nareena a little confused but not with Max, because he already knows.

"Eee means how about sir ?. Why do we have to be alone ?."

"It's okay, I just there's a need to be a minute with you, Mr. Zuhally."

"Oh, okay." Aly turned towards Nareena and without saying a word Nareena understood and immediately got up from her seat and stepped towards the empty table slightly away from them. Max also stands up and catches up with Nareena and joins Nareena at the same table.

At the table are Aly and Anand. Two men who are both in Alsya's life. One as the past and the other as the future.

"Sorry before, maybe I have been wrong for making a meeting on the grounds of work. Actually I need to be personal with you, Mr. Zuhally." Anand opened the conversation.

"Personal need, I mean how is mister ?" Aly asked increasingly curious.

"Attent." Anand pulled out her phone that was in her pants pocket and turned it on and thrust it in front of Aly. "Do you know this boy ?." Ask later.

Aly took the phone and looked at the picture on her screen. "Charyra ?!." Pekiknya was too happy when he saw the photo of his son there. "Sorry sir, where did you get my daughter's photo ?." Ask Aly who has now turned to look at Anand.

"That's right you're the father of this child ?." Instead of answering, Anand asked back.

Aly nodded confidently. "Yes, sir. He's my son, I've been looking for him all this time but haven't met him yet. Have you ever seen it ?."

"Yes, he even now lives with me."

"What?!, So all this time my daughter was with you ?." Aly looked very shocked to hear that.

Anand nodded. "That night, I accidentally hit him and I took him to the hospital and then when he was healthy I brought him home to our house." Anand explained.

Aly's face started to look gloomy. Whether what he had in mind right now was clear, Anand did not know at all.

"I've never seen him in my entire life, he's been living with his adoptive parents." Aly lirih.

"Well, what's with the foster parents?, why aren't you with me ?." Anand asked trying to dig up information about Aly's life story. Because if you ask Alsya, usually Alsya will not explain it in detail.

"I can't take care of him myself."

"Where is his mother ?." Ask Anand again.

Aly looked at Anand's face as if she was confirming something from Anand's eyes. Then he went back to his words. "His mother died of illness after a month of giving birth to him." Aly continued later.

"Sorry, Mr Anand, how do you know it's my daughter ?." Ask Aly at last.

"Someone told me if you were looking for your missing child." Said Anand.

Aly just nodded her ass off without even thinking strangely anymore.

The two of them were silent with their thoughts.

"Can I see my daughter's face?, I mean I want to see my daughter."

"Of course, you are his father."

"Well, can I see him this afternoon ?."

"Please."

Aly smiled. "Thank you once again for taking care of my daughter, Mr. Anand."

"It doesn't matter, my son and wife also like your daughter. Even my wife loves Chayra very much."

Aly was silent. Hearing Anand who called the child and wife felt like his heart was pierced by sharp thorns.

Anand noticed Aly's facial features instantly turning into a wistful one. It was not that he did not understand what Aly was feeling right now. But, Aly's behavior on the child and his wife used to be very insolent. Wasting a woman like Alsya was a stupid thing Aly ever did.

"Alsya told me everything." Anand finally said.

Aly was getting stunned. He immediately glanced towards Anand's face then lowered his head again.

"I was stupid all along."

"Yes, you're so stupid Aly. You have wasted a woman as good as Alsya just because your attitude is less firm in principle as a man who has a wife." Anand's growl tried to hold back his anger.

Aly's getting full.

"I'm very sorry, and I've also felt the backlash from what I used to do to my wife and children." Aly's voice sounded very soft. He recalled his previous actions towards Alsya as well as his children.

"Yes, I already know. And may what you used to do not be done again for the future."

"Yes, I'll never do it again. It's enough I hurt innocent people's hearts." Aly said sure.

Anand smiled. He was also convinced that Aly would change from his nature in the past.

"Is someone you're saying that's Alsya ?." Aly asked then looked at Anand's face.

Anand nodded. "Well, I'll go home now. Assalamualaikum."

"Yes, waalaikumsalam."

Anand got up from his seat on the tail with Max who also started to approach again then they both stepped away from Aly's presence.

As promised to his wife, before returning home Anand stopped by the martabak merchant first. A special glutinous martabak had been made after he waited for ten minutes. Anand again continued his journey home with a feeling that is now more relieved, because of his meeting with his father Keyya.

Arriving home, he saw his wife and children playing near the fish pond in the yard.

Seeing the arrival of her husband, Alsya immediately widened her smile and approached Anand.

"Assalamualaikum, dear."

"Guiland, A." Alsya shakes her husband's hand.

"As promised, I came home early and brought my beautiful wife's order." Anand held up his hand which was holding a plastic that contained dignity for his beloved wife.

Alsya's smile grew wider. "Thank you, husband..." Alsya took the plastic with a very happy heart.

"Together, darling. Yes, I went in first, huh?, want to change clothes."

"Yes, A."
