Behind the Rain and Memories

23. It's Mahira

"Gan, I'm sorry for making you dizzy with all my complaints, I just need clarity" said Alina in a regretful tone, she had no choice, if indeed Morgan could not help her, doesn't matter. He will take over to investigate the extent of Bryan's case.

All this time he tried to be quiet and patient because he appreciated Mr. Leo and also Morgan, he did not want to precede, but the more here he felt Morgan was no longer serious. Even later he seemed to shy away from Alina, although several times met in the meeting room, Morgan remained unmoved and only discussed work issues without giving Alina a chance to ask other things.

Alina is desperate, the feeling of a conspiracy in the company is also unreasonable, so far there is nothing suspicious. Maybe his mind is excessive.

He decided to focus on taking care of the case in the police alone. But there's no way he's been involved, so Morgan needs to explain to the police his position to avoid any misunderstanding.

"Sorry Alin, try to understand everything has gone according to procedure," said Morgan full of emphasis.

"But this has been too long, and until now there has been no certainty,"

Morgan smiled wryly.

"New seven months Alin, out there many cases floating even up to new years can be revealed, this is not as easy as you think, let alone we do not have a single clue that can be used as a handle, he said, there was no evidence, no witnesses" Morgan said in a loud voice, drawing the attention of several passers-by.

Alina's heart pinched, a clear, floating feather dyed her eyes. Morgan so heartless, he felt guilty for being too rude to the girl.

"I'm sorry Alin, I don't mean to make you depressed, but you have to accept the situation, there is a time when we are required to be patient" said Morgan gently, one hand outstretched holding Alina's shoulder, trying to strengthen the girl.

Alina rubbed her eyes with the handkerchief Morgan gave her.

"I just want to give Bryan justice, I can't calm down before the criminal gets a reply,"

" I understand Al, "

"Isn't there anything we can do?"

Morgan shook his head.

"In this life all deeds will be recompensed, sooner or later they will be caught, let the authorities work, all you have to do is pray,"

Alina nodded in understanding, "Thank you gan, sorry I've kept you here,"

" Papa Alin, if you'll excuse me, there are still clients I have to meet" said Morgan after making sure Alina was okay.

Alina nodded again, she had indeed intercepted Morgan the moment they met in the lobby, Alina had just returned from the field, checking out some of the projects that were going on. Morgan himself hurried to leave. Alina did not waste any chance. Lucky Morgan wants to talk.

Alina moved from sitting and walking towards the elevator, but she felt strange when she passed by other employees, they seemed to whisper and stare cynically at Alina.

Since there was nothing wrong with her Alina being ordinary and greeting them kindly, unfortunately they were instead indifferent and shoulder-twisting as if disgusted with the girl.

Alina's astonishment grew so much that in her room, she again received cynical views from her teammates, even Gladys who in fact her closest friends also ignored Alina's greeting and pretended to be busy with her work.

Seeing the situation, Tasya immediately pulled Alina's hand out of the room and carried her to the pantry.

" What's going on here, why are they suddenly acting like that?" alina asked confused. When he left this morning, everything was fine.

Tasya sighed, she felt sorry for her best friend. He was confused as to how to say.

"Jawab dong Sya, don't make me curious,"

urged Alina.

Tasya pulled out her phone from her pants pocket and showed a photo to Alina.

Alina was surprised to see the picture on Tasya's phone, her friendship with Max last night was clearly printed there. His forehead was wrinkled, how could there be a photo of him and Max, he himself did not capture any moment of the night.

" Mahira sent it to the group ladies office" explained Tasya as if she knew what Alina was thinking.

" Mahira? where did he get these pictures?"

Tasya shook his head "I don't know Al either, maybe you're not aware of his presence, which surely Mahira managed to provoke them,"

Alina now understands, it's natural that her female colleagues in this office are angry because it has become an open secret that they like Max, not all are because some already have a family. But there are those who are really serious about harboring feelings for Max.

"Udah Al doesn't need to think about it, it will also be his own," Tasya tried to relax even though he wasn't sure. Because Gladys is one of those people who seriously loves Max. Alina did not know because Gladys was good at covering.

" I don't mean to let them down, but I'm confused too, I." Alina sobbed.

Who is to blame if in the end he himself also has feelings for Max. Although the feeling is still divided by his love for Bryan.

Tasya hugged the girl and rubbed her back.

" I understand Al, and I don't blame anyone, both you and Mr. Max you have the right to make your choice, who must understand it's them, love can't be forced,"

" Thank you, only you understand me" Alina said, wiping away her tears

Tasya smiled, "Its okay dear, I will always be there for you,"

Plok..

" Wah.wah look who came, the prettiest girl in the mega buana entered the room,, jeng.jeng," Mahira made the action in such a way.

Alina clenched both her hands.

"Don't go fishing Al, hold your emotions" Tasya whispered.

Alina nodded, she did try hard not to be affected by Mahira. He casually stepped towards his desk.

"I admit you were great at luring men with your innocent face Alina Maharani, not a few months ago Bryan died you've thrown it away and replaced it with someone else" Mahira said.

Alina remained silent and did not bother the talk of the girl who was sitting in front of her desk. He busied himself braining his computer Atik.

"At first I thought you were dead love with Bryan, and maybe they all thought the same, but no one expected you to move on that fast, where your tears went, or maybe those fake tears let us empathize with you, pity Bryan, " continued Mahira heat up.

Instantly Alina felt her blood boiling, but she still flabbergasted, fighting a mad woman like Mahira would only waste her energy.

While Mahira smiled with satisfaction, her words successfully influenced the people to hate Alina. That's the goal. He's tired of having to be nice to that girl. If it wasn't for her brother-in-law Leo, it wouldn't have been sweet with Alina.

From the beginning he was jealous because Alina was easy to get the attention of people around her, while she did not get the slightest place, even though Alina was no one, just Bryan's fiance. That was the reason why he used to try to destroy Alina and Bryan's relationship. Damn it failed.

" After Bryan, now that you're after Max, you think the world belongs to you, you don't know if they like Max, and they know Max before you, don't be selfish dong," grunted Mahira again

" That's enough!!!"

Alina kicked off her own desk. He couldn't hold back any longer, Mahira had gone too far.

The girl stared intently at Mahira while pointing her finger.

" Don't interfere in my business, you think I don't know what you mean, you envy me, because my presence is more welcome in this company than yours, even your own brother-in-law would not want to involve you in his business, heh" said Alina scathing.

Mahira's face turned pias hearing Alina's words.

" And don't be pretentious about how I feel about Bryan. Because at any moment, Bryan will never be replaced. Besides, what's your business if I move on, do you feel rivaled? are you afraid of losing another step?"

"You," Mahira clenched her molars and pointed back at Alina

" What? you don't accept, the fact is, you're a Hira looser. Can only rely on Mr. Leo, if not for him, you are nothing more than a dust grain here" Alina continued. People like Mahira need to be taught a lesson.

otherwise he'll be more rampant.

Mahira was getting riled up "Be careful you Al, I don't accept being insulted like this,"

Alina smiled cynically,

" You should introspect Hira instead of blaming others,"

Because it was cornered, Mahira melengos away from there with a red face extinguished.

Tasya was relieved that Alina was able to deal with the attached grandmother in an elegant manner.

"And for you, I'm sorry if my closeness to Mr. Max made you feel betrayed. Whatever happened between me and Mr. Max was God's destiny. I accept that if you hate me, no one can deny that God wills. Once again forgive me," continued Alina while cupping her hands in front of the chest.

May you understand, inner Alina hoped.

He has tried to be honest, even though between himself and Mr. Max now there is no relationship - what, in the future he will not know.

Alina did not want to give others hope, while she herself also had the same hope.

With a gontai step Alina left the room suddenly in silence.

Just reaching the door, his head ached and his vision blurred. His hands moved quickly looking for a grip.

Before he fell down, a firm hand grabbed his body. And everything went dark.
