The Sign of Love
A Rumor And A Myth

Atmaja stood beside Relina who was still waiting for the arrival of the online taxi that would pick her up. The man who had a few strands of his hair turned white was staring at Relina full of probes. He remembered that the girl had been working with his son Junda for a year.

They are in the yard of the house is quite spacious and arranged into three parts. Partly for the parking lot, part for the park and the rest is a gazebo, a small hall equipped with a fountain next to it.

Atmaja said in a low voice. “Did you hear a rumor in the office, about Junda all this time?”

“Rumors like what you mean, I am only a lowly employee, so I do not know any rumors about, Mr. Junda,” explained Relina.

“Yes, like the myth believed and the sign the boy had, did you ever know?” Hearing Atmadja's words, Relina shook her head.

“His grandmother believed that she could not marry just anyone, except a woman who had the same mark as her.” Atmadja continued her words while sighing loudly.

It seems he was very disappointed with what Shasi, his mother-in-law, believed, affected his son in such a way.

Relina slightly laughed at Atmaja's words she turned her head and looked at the man while saying, “Do you think such a thing is real? That myth is superstitious, isn't it, sir?”

“Iya,” said Atmaja while nodding, then smiling. “Thank you, you already assumed this incident never existed, lest anyone know because this is so embarrassing for me.”

“Good, Sir. I understand.”

‘Ahk, I do not believe, if Mr. Junda still believes things like this. Maybe for people who strongly believe in myths, we live in a different hemisphere, for example in Greece. There a myth is still considered sacred’

Taxi came and Relina left the big house with amused feelings, knowing a fact that a modern company leader like Junda, apparently still believes the opinion of the elderly who do not make sense to him.

‘What kind of birthmark does Juanda have, until he can't marry just any woman. Why do I feel sorry for him?’

Junda looked at his father with a burning gaze, he was upset and disappointed that Atmaja had already interfered in his personal affairs with Relina, taking his own decisions without involving her.

They are now standing face to face in the room, precisely in front of the door of the guest room, where Relina last night rested herself.

When I woke up earlier, Junda immediately cleaned himself. After that he was about to come out and realized the door of his room was locked. He shouted a few times, and the waiter opened the door. She immediately went to the guest room where Rina was, yet she was disappointed that the girl was no longer there. He had already left the house, before Junda could explain everything and find out where his destination was.

“Should Dad know, if I don't want to misunderstand me with him getting longer.”

“You lied, right? You think Dad doesn't know that he's not your girlfriend?” deed Atmaja while turning his face away and smiling small.

“I consider him a girlfriend. What did Dad tell her? Why did he leave without saying anything to me?!” Junda's voice raised up to make Vela and her young child approach, but did not say anything because of Junda's business, not at all his business.

“Dad just asked him to explain who he is and what your relationship is. He said you weren't his boss, and he was his ex-boss! Right, right?”

“Dad shouldn't have to interfere, I've been painstakingly chasing him.” Junda rolled his eyes lazy, he was about to leave Atmaja, when his father said again.

“But he doesn't want you. He said so. Moreover, not necessarily he also has the same mark as yours!”

Junda stopped his steps and turned to his father.

“I don't care, Dad know now, I don't believe it anymore, I really want to have it!”

“So you don't lie with your feelings, if you like it?”

“Iya I did not lie.” Junda said as he shrugged his shoulders and both hands.

“Do you also not care if he dies later?”

“Do you not care if someday you and our family are branded into a family of killers?”

Hearing his father's words, Junda closed his eyes and clenched his hands together

“Dad, I never intended to kill him or kill anyone! Wouldn't it be that if he died or not, it would be his destiny?” after saying so, Junda left Atmaja. He walked towards the car and drove her away from Atmaja's house feeling upset and disappointed.

In the end Gunara managed to contact Relina and find out where relina lives in Jakarta. When they told each other on the phone the next night, Relina was no longer busy with her work.

Gunara looks very happy because she feels she can soon solve her company's problems. He'll be visiting Relina soon. His cooperation with Junda was completely void, the man did not want to extend their contract. Gunara has to find new partners who want to cooperate and cover all production losses of his company.

That morning Fuad walked into Gunara's room, the man asking for permission to go to Jakarta. He wanted to find and find the girl he had been looking for all this time, armed with an information from Relina last time.

Fuad is convinced that this time he will find Icha, the girl who has given birth to her child. During this time he searched the area around Bogor alone, but in fact the woman was in South Jakarta and led a company his father engaged in the field, caroseri motor vehicle.

There are not too many such companies in Jakarta, so it will be easy to track them. At least that's what's going through Fuad's mind right now.

“Well, when do you want to go, why not just be with me?” Junda. He had allowed Fuad to take time off and do what he wanted.

Although they were brothers, Gunara was his boss and Fuad had to do all the company rules that had become a habit and were valid since the company was founded. All employees must obey him, including himself.

“Besok.” Fuad answered while clearing some files scattered on Gunara's desk.

“Alright, tomorrow. Are you sure that woman was there?”

“Of course, I have to find him this time. I have a son, Gun! Do you believe that?”

Gunara nodded, If it were not for Relina who told him that she had met Icha, who had a child, then she would not believe it. How can a relationship that is only one night and done once be fruitful? Both men shook their heads.

“Are you sure that the child is the child of you two?” Back Gunara asked, he just did not want his closest brother was disappointed because it turned out that the thing he believed was not proven.

Fuad was immediately pensive, he recalled the story of Relina, who told me that Icha's son was three years old and was born in July. If that is true, then the calculation is correct that most likely is his son.

“What if it turns out that she still loves her ex-boyfriend, who left her and you were just made a runaway?” Gunara said so, just to convince Fuad. But the man nodded because he thought.

Then Fuad said, “If I was just his escape, why does he always look for me almost every month he goes to that place, it's weird, right?”

Fuad said about the logical thinking he could convey. As soon as he heard from Relina yesterday, he was always on edge.

“Alright ... come! We clean up the mess that Junda made, tomorrow we go to Jakarta.”

Gunara felt the heat in the heart that radiated to the clenched hand. Makes his head and brain feel like boiling.

Especially when he remembered the incident that afternoon where Junda and himself fought over Relina. The man forced his will and tried to stop Gunara.

At that time they will chase after Relina, but Junda dare to throw a fist at Gunara. He who was not ready to get the raw bogem was staggered and assisted by Fuad.

Gunara was not well, she rubbed her red and sore jaw. That's when Junda went to follow the direction of the bus that Relina was riding to Jakarta.

‘I hope they never meet there!’ inner Gunara.
