WAR OF AGES

"Ah, Vicky I thought you are still busy reading the books I must have disturbed you. sorry about that" said Agus as he looks at her with a bit surprised look.

"Agus don't forget about the thing you promised me in the past not to get close with my sister again," said Vicky as she looks at him with disgust.

"Yeah, I know I'm not gonna that... is she studying in this college?" Ask Agus with worried looks "No, she's at Bogor studying Medicine" she answered.

"Ah... good then, Dayang escort me to him, is it fine?" said Agus.

"Eh? Yes... come with me, then" as Dayang flinched.

Knowing it would make her exaggerate a bit with a smile he quickly left the room, Agus who looked stern followed Dayang from behind as he followed her from behind. arriving at the parking lot the driver sent by her family arrived as she walked outside the campus and spotted by him then the door was opened for her as she entered it, which he later entered as it moved away from college.

On the way to Melati's father's company, Agus who was sitting on his seat look outside of the car window as he slowly remembering his past as it was still clear enough for him to forget it.

"Vivy please have a good life, even though we would never meet again" whisper Agus as one of his tears flowed down as it was something natural.

The incident caused him to never meet her again was when he was an eight-year-old boy when it happened in the forest as the young boy was searching in the bush for something.

"Ahaha, I found it," said the Agus.

"Hey, I already said to be careful when you look for something in here and now you have a wound on your arm now," said a young girl as she looks at Agus's arm.

"Nah, it's was only a scratch I would be fine by tomorrow" as he laughs.

"Nonsense by then you would have an infection so stop," said the girl as she growls and pours the alcohol at his wound "ouch" as he yelp.

"... And you said it was only a scratch, then how come you just yelped then?" said the girl as she narrowed her eye toward him questioning him.

"Haha, you got me," said Agus as he laughs.

"... okay, then can you promise me not to do that again? if I go study to be a doctor or a nurse you would not do anything to harm yourself?" said the girl as she looks at him.

"... um, okay" said Agus as he was bit surprised.

"..." as her face turned red a bit "then pinky promise, you would not do that again" as she continues while turning her face away.

"... um" as Agus was unable to say anything "All right, pinky promise" as he said while giving his.

A few days later before the tragedy strike, he was walking to the side of the valley while looking at the sunset in front of him.

"It's a beautiful sunset" as the girl look at it with a smile.

"Beautiful but I found a place somewhere else better, you want to go there?" ask Agus as he gives his hand "sure let's go there," said the girl as she grabs his hand.

Walking up the valley they reacher the highest of the valley and found a tree which is taller than the other where he helps her climb it to the top before lastly sit on top of the branch together as they watch the sunset.

"Agus it's beautiful in here," said the girl as she was excited by the view.

"What did I say, but it's already late let's go home. I don't want to worry your parent later" said agus as he slowly stands from the branch.

"Okay, let's go back," said the girl.

As the girl tried to stand she forgot that the day before the rain pouring down on the region where they live so the branch was a bit wet when they arrived as she slipped from where she stands on hurriedly he tried to extend his hand toward her but because he was a bit slow, it was already to late as she falls to the ground followed with a roll down from the valley as she landed the ground unmoving.

Climbing down from the tree he quickly runs toward her while checking her breathing noticing she was still breathing but her pulse was small, he quickly grabs then carried her down from the valley and run to her family mansion. Appearing on her family with wound while has some scratch on his entire body he carried her but with some blood bleeding from her forehead, finding she was not moving the family helper went into a panic as one slammed at him as they tried to carry her to her bed while he falls to the ground.

They carried her to her room as they also called the doctor, at first the atmosphere was sad and in anguish but later on it changed into disgust, anger, and hatred as they saw Agus they passed by him when he meets her adoptive parent the first thing they meet him was punch him directly on his face as they cursed him as he flew about five to six meter away.

Later on, the sister of her adopted family appeared as she shows anger and hatred causing him to feel uncomfortable and leave the mansion in sadness not knowing what to do. after a few days has pass he heard the news that the young lady has awoken and remembered everything including her adopted family but when she was asked about the incident the day before she fell, she remembered everything that happens but... she did not remember who was with her at that day.

Knowing the news he was shocked as he felt the extreme sadness dwell in him as he quickly runs to the mansion wishing to meet her once more to make sure did she truely forgot about her but when he arrived her parents ordered the helper not to allow him to enter the mansion as it was forbidden for him, the sound he made her little sister look outside of the window finding him made her feel disgusted at him before she got a good idea how to get rid of him forever from her side as she walks down from the stair and to the entrance.

"what is the hustle about, eh it's you Agus?" said Vicky as he narrowed her eyes at him "Did father said that you are no longer welcome in here any longer?" as she crosses her hand at him.

"I want to meet her to make sure she was fine," said Agus with a worried face.

"Well I could let you in... but if you promise me not to see her ever again after meeting her," said Vicky as she showed a wicked smile at him.

"That's... I promise then" said Agus with heavy sound as he nodded a bit "if I could meet her again it's fine.

"... okay, let him in and you two heard me" as she said with a heavy sigh.

The two gatekeepers look at each other before with a heavy heart opened the gate.

Given the chance to enter the mansion for one last time he was escorted by Vicky to Vivy's room where they found Vivy was sitting in the center of the bed while looking to the windows before noticing them entering to her room but when Agus appeared Vivy look at him as lingering appeared on her c.h.e.s.t but she did not remember him at all as she only look before the younger sister opened her mouth to break the silence.

"Big sis, someone wants to meet you today," said Vicky as she glanced at Agus.

"Hello, I'm Agus... uhm..." said Agus as he was confused about what he should say next.

"Nice to meet you, Agus. I'm Vivy, Vicky's big sister who is at your side" said Vivy with a calm face looking at him.

"Ah, yes... nice to meet you," said Agus as he was convinced by it, she did not even recognize him as she had forgotten about him entirely.

"Okay, since everything is done and you already had met her now it's time leave, she needs to take a rest today," said Vicky as she quickly pushes her outside.

"Ah, okay..." said Agus with heavy pain in his heart as he quickly leaves.

When the two were standing at the entrance, Vicky walks close to Agus as she near his ear and whisper at him which caused his eyes to open wide.

"Remember that you should never longer get close to my sister again," said Vicky as she slowly walks back to the mansion "Yes... I will" Answered Agus as he grips his hand in frustration.

Agus walks out and returns to his home with tears slowly falling to the ground from his eye unable to do anything, never to be able to meet her again for his entire life, Returning to the present time noticing the car started to slow down as he also noticed that he has arrived at Melati's father corporation.

"We have arrived, Agus wait for a moment I need to call miss Melati now," said Dayang as she walks out from the car and goes to the receptionist.

"I understand... I will stay here and don't worry I'm not gonna go anywhere else" Said agus as he turns to Dayang before looking at the environment.

After a few minutes, he noticed Melati appearing from the company's lift before she noticed Dayang was on the receptionists talking to them as she stopped for a moment and walked to them.

"Ah, Young Miss welcome may I help you?" said the receptionists with a smile.

"No need, I only came to see her you may continue," said Melati as she looked at the receptionists.

"As your wish young miss," said the receptionists as she smiles.

"Ah, Miss Melati I was planning to find you" as she turns her head and smiles "Agus is with me and he is waiting by the car, now" as she continued while opening her hand toward her car.

"Hm, then I'll take it from here if that's fine with you Dayang," said Melati then she walks to the car.

"Yes, miss Melati," said Dayang as she follows behind her.

Walking to the entrance of the company, he noticed her thus he opened the door and quickly stand at the side of the car before later closing it as he greets her.

"Melati, I want to finish this quickly so please escort me to your father and I need to go back early today," said the Agus as he said calmly.

"Call her Miss Melati, Agus who are you to talk to her familiarly," said Dayang as he puffed in anger.

"eh, is that... so telling me to go here then expect me to go formal with her just like that... really" as he sighs as he finished talking.

"..." As Dayang looks at him in anger.

"Okay, Dayang it's true I told him to go here but if you forced him it won't go well later on so please leave," said Melati with a tired face.

"Understood Miss, I will leave" as she turned at him with narrowed eyes before leaving.

"Sorry about that Agus she is... pretty clingy sometimes so please forgive her," said Melati as she looks at Dayang's back.

"Even though she is pretty annoying but I guess, she just felt lonely," said Agus as he lowered his voice near the end.

"Okay, follow me to meet my father," said Melati as she walks to the lift first "... mm" as he followed from the back.

Reaching inside the elevator both of them did not get troubled by the company staff as it was currently empty and no one wish to used it right now because of it everything was made it easier for both of them as they would not be bothered by the other as the two of them walked inside of the elevator standing in front of the console Melati pressed the button of the highest floor as the door slowly closed down.

"Is there anything you like to ask Agus while we are here?" said Melati not batting an eye on him.

"Well, not that much... Just wondering why did you like to see me that much?" said Agus as his lips slightly go upward.

"Ah, that... if it weren't my wanted to investigate about you, I would not wish to find you... I have still had a reputation to keep" said Melati as she closed her eyes attempting to end the talk quick.

"Well, I figured as much," said Agus with a sigh.

"We have arrived please enter the room as I have things to take care of," said Melati as she waits by the console.

The arriving at the intended floor the door opened which later revealed the CEO room where Melati's father was still sitting on his chair as he looks at the paper and the doc.u.ment on the desk before he noticed the elevator opened the door where Agus and Melati is on, After putting down his pen down on the desk slowly he stand then walk to the front of the desk as he tries to welcome Agus with bit expecting looks.

Agus who is still in the elevator was surprised as he has the face of never expecting the person was someone he knew as he slowly walks out of the elevator and gets closer to the man his hand on his hip turned into a fist as he sprinted at the man, Agus's act shocked her as she just pressed the close button then quickly pressed the open button trying to stop him from harming her father.

"Wait a minute, Agus that's my father don't harm him!!!"

When the Elevator door opened back she quickly runs to Agus but the next moment her father also prepare his own fist then followed with a loud noise then followed with a hug with the two-person as a reunion with each other as Melati who watched everything unfold in front of her had a trouble processing everything as she looks at the two of them in turn with confusion trying to figure out what event that just happened in front of her.
