Chapter 3. Memories of Sindy

Aluna was in her tiny room. She was still thinking about the testament because her mother had never talked about it before. She’s not ready yet to get married to someone she didn’t know. It was a testament from her mother, but she had to live her life with a stranger on the other side.

Aluna was standing in front of the picture of her mother, which was hung on the wall. She took the picture, “Why did mom choose him as my partner? I don’t even know him. I just want to get married to someone I love, mom”. Aluna was crying in front of her mother’s picture.

Aluna’s phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Fatma.

“Hallo, Fatma!” Aluna picked up the call. She tried to calm down before talking to Fatma.

“Aluna, where are you now? We have many orders. I need your help.” Said Fatma in a rush.

“Ok, I’ll be there soon!” said Aluna. She wiped her tears. “You have to be strong, Aluna. Don’t be sad because you have so many things to do today.” Aluna tried to encourage herself.

In a different place, Zolan was in his office work. He was thinking while facing the window. Zolan went back to the Hospital to do something, so he told his father that he’d be back after doing his work.

“Bro!” Fahmi shocked Zolan, who was daydreaming.

“Hmmm!” Zolan didn’t care about Fahmi. He didn’t want to be bothered.

“Why did you leave the meeting yesterday? You know, we had an important meeting, and it was almost cancelled, but don’t worry, the smart and handsome man could handle it.” Fahmi talked to Zolan confidently on the chair.

Zolan ignored Fahmi. He suddenly stood up and left the room.

“Woiii! Where are you going?” Fahmi shouted out when Zolan left the room. He immediately chased Zolan, but Zolan walked so fast.

Zolan kept walking and directly went into the lift. Fahmi kept following him until they arrived at the parking area.

“You have to lead the meeting tomorrow.” Zolan gave a command to Fahmi. Before Fahmi answered him, Zolan immediately left Fahmi.

“Where are you going, Zolaaann!” Fahmi shouted.

Zolan and Fahmi had been partners in business for five years. Besides being the CEO of his father’s company, he also had other firms.

Zolan would be back at the Hospital in thirty minutes, but he wanted to go to the place where she met Sindy. He didn’t know where she was until now. He missed her a lot.

It was Pelita Bunda High School, where Zolan met Sindy for the first time. They made so many memories there. Zolan suddenly recalled one memory when he was eating meatball with Sindy.

“I don’t like eating meatball, Beib. Why do you order that for me? Sindy was angry at Zolan.

“You have to eat it because I like it. Won’t you try my favourite food? When you become my wife, I would like you to make the food for me. I would be pleased if you could cook one of my favourite foods.” Zolan talked to Sindy while laughing at her. He knew that Sindy didn’t like meatballs, so he wanted to tease her.

“Beib, ihhhh” Sindy looked so mad, but she ate the food because it’s one of Zolan’s favourite food.

“We will graduate soon, and I want to go to the same University as you, Beib.” Sindy continued.

“Sure, we’ll always be together. You know, I can’t live far away from you.” Zolan replied Sindy gently.

“I’m not joking, Beib.” Sindy was annoyed.

Zolan was so happy after teasing Sindy. Sindy had made his day.

It had been a long time since Sindy left Zolan. He had been finding her everywhere, but all he did was useless. Sindy had never come back again.
