My Bow to the Destiny of Love
Nostalgic

Ardian and Dodit laughed. It turns out that the arrival of Ghibran although upset him, but also can comfort his heart who was restless because of work.

"Ar, I've been wondering for a long time, who the hell was that guy? He's like someone who doesn't like you." Dodit said as he looked at Ardian.

"Huh..," Ardian let out a rough breath, smiling while leaning his body on the back of the sofa, with his hands folded behind his head. His eyes stared straight at the ceiling of the room. "I don't think you'd believe me, Dit."

"Hmm.. Not yet a story, I told you I don't believe everything." Dodit leaned on her body just like Ardian did. "I was just wondering if she was one of the members of the Bu Ayra family who disagreed with your marriage, or if she was just an outsider who didn't like you." Dodit glanced at Ardian then looked at the ceiling. The brands are both in the same position.

I heard a heavy breath from Ardian. "Hmm. She's Chay's ex, Dit."

The shocked dodit spontaneously straightened his sitting position. "What...?!" his eyes bulged while gnawing. I really can't believe what Ardian said. "What's the matter, Ar?"

Ardian replied with a nod of his head.

"Kok I just found out, Ar. It turns out there are people who have no shame, until they defend their ex husband to work, because they do not believe in the ability of his ex husband. Huh.." Dodit melengos, still with an expression of disbelief.

"You'd be more distrustful, if I told you he was my Lecturer first."

Dodit looked at Ardian with a puzzled look. "Kok the story got complicated anyway, Ar?!"

Ardian smiled bitterly. "It's all because I ruined their wonderful plans." Ardian glanced at Dodit who looked serious listening to the story. "I destroyed Chay, when they had planned a wonderful plan for their future."

"You mean?"

Ardian lowered his head while rubbing his face violently. "I kidnapped Chay a few days before their engagement day." He raised his face again with a bitter smile towards Dodit.

Dodit shook his head. "I still don't understand, Ar."

"You know who I was, Dit. I'm depraved to the heart. There is only one advantage I used to have, I have never tripped the case n*k****a. I always managed to refrain from falling for it. If it's a woman's problem, I'm the king." Ardian looked back at Dodit. "I destroyed Chay's honor that time. Mr. Ghibran is ready to accept Chay, even though Chay is no longer a virgin. But the heart of the woman who had become my wife was too noble, Dit. He said, the rest of the women only deserve the rest of the men. He asked me to marry him at that time. I even objected to his wish. But, his family influence was too strong. I even forced Papi to agree to Chay's request."

"Well, you are depraved.. It's worth it that this guy looks so underestimated you."

Ardian laughed bitterly. "He thinks everything I'm doing right now is just a play, Dit. He couldn't believe that I really repented. Who the hell, would believe my current change."

"I'm.." Dodit pointed at himself. "Even though I didn't know you before, at least I believe that you were once depraved, and now you've completely changed."

"Thank you, Dit.." Ardian looked back.

"Here you go, Ar. What do you take heart for. If I am, you are now so amazing, Ar." Dodit patted Ardian on the shoulder. "You are a very responsible man. Your perseverance deserves a thumbs up."

"Thank you, Dit." Ardian raised his face then pulled the corner of his lips.

"It's ah, Ar. Why do I feel nostalgic.. This food wants to be immediately put into the stomach that has been struggling because of hunger."

"You just eat, Dit. I have no appetite yet. My job is too full today. Moreover, it had to be coupled with taking care of that freak."

Dodit laughed a little. "Not to be too confused. It's just the past. What we should fight for is the future. The past should only be a lesson to take a better step forward."

"Thanks, Dit." It was Ardian's turn who patted Dodit's shoulder. "I want to pray first. You just eat first. Leave one portion, I will eat out of prayer. Or if you're not full you can eat it all."

Ardian passed by while holding a smile. "Who knows if your stomach has widened."

"No, it's not.." Dodit takes the stock box and takes one serving. He immediately ate the food. Although his stomach is not full, but he does not want to eat his own talk. Do not let Ardian call it kebo, if you spend two portions of it.

Ardian pensive after establishing prayer. I don't know why remembering the past.always make his feelings become incoherent. Guilt must have come to haunt him.

Ghibran's sharp gaze at him always made him feel like he was being judged. Yeah, he realized it was all because of him. But, what must he do to make up for that mistake. Everything is done and cannot be repaired.

Pov Ardian...

I was still sitting on the prayer mat even though I had finished the Zuhr prayer for a long time. I drowned my head between my legs. Oh God, this chest feels tight considering all that. Not just once twice I've been like this. Anybody who offends my past, I must be like this.

I wiped away the tears that melted by themselves. I was crying apparently. I can't prevent my tears from coming out. I'm not ashamed because I'm really sorry.

But..

As Dodit said earlier, the past must be a lesson, so that we do not go wrong in the future. Hopefully I can be more mature in the future. Let people call me an ex-devil. The point now is, I should be able to focus on being able to make my little family happy.

Tok..

I raised my face as I heard a knock at the door. With a heavy heart, I finally got up and opened the door lazily. Actually I still want to be alone, I'm still not satisfied venting this tight feeling.

I looked at Dodit lazily as I saw him standing at the door with preparedness. "What's up, Dit."

"Investors from China are already in the Loby, Ar. I was waiting for you to come out of there, but there was no sign of you coming out. Sorry if I interrupted your private time."

"It's okay, Dit. I'll be ready now. You just prepare the contract of cooperation that we have agreed before."

"Ready, Boss. Don't gloomy anymore. You're crying, your nose is red like that."

"Eh," my hand touched Dodit's hand holding my nose.

"You're white, Ar. When you cry, everything will look very obvious. You wash your face first. It must be the red if you wash your face. I told you not to be too taken heart." Dodit passed after he finished speaking. A few steps back, he turned again. "Sir, don't forget to be happy.."

I had to smile at her jokes. I am grateful, Papi left a person as good as Dodit who accompanied me in this Company. Finding a sincere person today is a bit difficult. Although Papi did not leave me abundant property, but an asset like Dodit is more valuable than property.

I took off my holster and put my work pants back on. I approached the sink to clean my face. Hmm.. it was fitting that Dodit asked earlier, it turned out that my nose was really like a water guava. I took a deep breath a few times. Time for work, forget all about the torturous past.

I got out of Musholla and went back to my room. I found Miss Rani and Dodit there. It seems they are discussing. I don't know, I think I just want to go home right now. I don't seem to be focused on meeting that Investor right now.

"Sir, they want to meet and have lunch at cafe Xx.." Dodit immediately instructed as soon as he saw me.

"What can be represented, Dit? My head feels dizzy. I can't seem to concentrate on having to discuss work right now."

Dodit and Bu Rani looked at each other confusedly.
