Day by day passed. Alexa's life is going well. The company he leads is stabilizing. The termination of cooperation with Jackson's company made him no longer in touch and knew the slightest about Jackson. Alexa is getting used to it, although sometimes Jackson's shadow still haunts him, especially he still often dreams of the man who had stolen his heart.
While in a different place, Jackson is completely haunted by the shadow of Alexa. How not, every day, wherever he always heard the news about Alexa. Both at work and through the media. When taking care of his business, Jackson colleagues always call the new CEO of PT Intan Jaya who is so great to develop his company.
Likewise in the media, in addition to reporting about the success of Alexa, Alexa, the media also did not escape reporting about her personal life, including about the case faced by Alexa at the trial about the attempted murder she experienced several years ago by Robby's ex-husband and Jennie and Gea which also involved Lady Susan as the main culprit.
Tonight, as usual. Jackson returned home to a bar that he began to frequent. Bar nuanced cowboy whose owner is a married couple. This time he came alone, he wanted to comfort himself.
"Welcome Mr. Jackson." The bartender who was already very familiar with it.
Jackson just nodded, without speaking The bartender immediately prepared the usual drink in Jackson's message.
A large glass of full beer was placed in front of Jackson. With a one-time grace, Jackson finished that glass of beer. The bartender simply stared at Jackson with his hands busy preparing another customer's drink. He returned to prepare Jackson's drink without being asked.
"What's the matter Mr Jackson?" Ask Bartender. "It looks like you're having a very serious problem."
Jackson let out a long sigh, sounding so heavy.
"Okay, I don't know either." Reply Jackson. "Eddy have you ever been heartbroken?" Ask Jackson to the bartender named Eddy.
"Of course you have been sir. Who has never been heartbroken. A broken heart is not just a breakup. Losing the most dear person besides lovers, be it parents, friends, even pets we can also be heartbroken." Reply Eddy the Bartender.
Jackson nodded.
"Are you in a breakup?" Ask Eddy.
Jackson suddenly smiled.
"It happened a while ago. But somehow I can not forget it when I know the woman in just 1 month. And the funnier thing is that we're officially dating in just 24 hours." Jackson was so open to Eddy.
"Then, what happened?"
"I decided it."
"Why?"
"I can't explain it to you in detail. The point is he tricked me."
Eddy nodded, and was again busy preparing drinks for the customers who had just arrived.
"Did that woman look like she didn't love you, sir?" Eddy asked while he was busy preparing drinks.
"I don't know. I was confused myself, everything I felt about her, her love was real. But...."
"Have you broken up?"
Jackson nodded.
"Honest communication in a relationship is what needs to be done. When we are used to being honest with our partner, the relationship will be minimal with quarrels. When you feel that you are being lied to by your partner, do not immediately get angry with him. What you need to do first is think positively. Reassure yourself that you are not lying, although in the end the Master knows that he is lying, the Master must think and believe that there may be an important and reasonable reason why he does not tell the truth to the Master. Understand the Master's spouse for all the reasons he says."
Jackson fell silent, he again downed his drink.
"Try asking why he lied. Instead of being angry and upset, you better ask your partner directly. Is it true that he is lying and if he agrees, then the thing you should ask is the reason why the couple can lie. And what you need to know, when you want to ask about the lies he's doing you have to ask in a calm manner." Eddy continued while handing drinks to other customers.
Eddy then stood in front of Jackson, because there were no more customers to serve.
"Let's look at the problem from two different sides." Said Eddy again. "After knowing the reasons that make the Master's partner lie, then what you have to do as a good partner is to digest the problems that are being faced by the Master's partner. Look at the problem from two different sides and you will understand why he lied."
"What if the lies he's doing are unforgivable?" Ask Jackson.
"Do what you like. Instead of thinking about your partner who is lying, you better do activities that you like, such as traveling, writing and watching movies. Doing these things will make you forget the lies made by your partner. After doing activities that you like, you can also dampen the emotions that have raged in the heart. The circumstances that previously upset Mr.'s heart turned more relaxed and happy." Answer Eddy.
A customer sat two seats away with Jackson. Eddy immediately prepared the man's order. When he finished, he spoke to Jackson.
"In addition, you can also hangout with friends and friends. The second person who is always close and understands about you other than your family is your friends and friends. Invite them out to just hang out to discuss funny things that can forget the annoyance of the Master. However, do not tell me about the problems you are experiencing because later they will immediately taste the bad Master's partner and tell Tuan to immediately end the relationship with the Master's partner now."
"The thing is, the relationship is over." Jackson again.
"Yes, you just try to forget it. After all, you yourself cannot forgive the lies he did. So the only way is to forget the Master's partner."
"It's not that easy Ed..."
"Then forgive." Reply Eddy.
Jackson took a long breath. Back to Alexa's shadow.
"Oh, it's hard for me to forgive him."
"Then don't blame me if he's interested in me." Said someone who suddenly stood behind Jackson and patted him on the shoulder.
The man sat down next to Jackson and asked Eddy for a drink. Jackson was upset because the man sitting next to him was none other than Morgan.
"Room here?" Jackson was upset.
"Why? You think this is just a place to hang out. This is also where I used to hang out." Reply Morgan relaxed.
Eddy gave Morgan the drink he ordered.
"Well, it turns out Mr. Jackson and Mr. Morgan know each other."
"of course. Because we like the same woman." Reply Morgan.
Eddy raised his eyebrows next door and looked at Jackson who had finished his third beer.
"Gue never liked women the same way you taste." Jackson.
"Oh yeah? I think you like Alexa. It turns out...."
"Never mention the woman's name in front of me again."
"OK fine. Relax." Relax." Morgan patted Jackson on the shoulder, which was immediately pushed aside by Jackson.
Morgan smiled and drank his drink back.
"So you got him?" Ask Morgan.
"Gue never had any relationship with a seductive woman like her." Answer Jackson.
"In that case, you don't mind me and Alex...."
Jackson stared at Morgan intently, making the man stop his speech.
"Gue told me I had nothing to do with him. So you're free to do anything." Jackson then stood up, took the wallet out of his pocket and gave Eddy some money.
"Thanks Ed..." Her speech.
Jackson was running his car at high speed. He returned to his smiling Alexa face.
"Dam. Why is it so hard to forget that woman." Her speech.
He also recalled Morgan's remarks at the bar.
"I don't care if he's close to Morgan even if it's up to him." Jackson said again, he looked very upset.
His car braked suddenly because it hit a cat that suddenly crossed the road. Jackson's forehead hit the steering wheel of the car, he became increasingly upset.
"Fucking cat." He screamed as he got out of the car.
From across the street a woman ran to the rescue of the cat lying in the street.
Jackson was silent, he stood staring at the woman wearing the peach-colored dress lowered her head and lifted the cat that was hit.
"Hey, if you take that car look around dong. Don't go to..." The woman's words suddenly stopped when she saw the man in front of her was Jackson.
'Alexa.' Jackson said in his heart.
Alexa was about to pass by holding a cat that looks okay. However, Jackson quickly pulled Alexa's hand to make the cat fall and ran away.
"Take me off." Alexa screams trying to release Jackson's grip.
Jackson did not react, he just looked at Alexa with a cold gaze and pulled Alexa towards his car violently.
"Do you want what?" Shouted Alexa again.
Jackson then pushed Alexa to make him cornered because he was leaning on the car. The streets are quiet and Jackson's car stops right in front of a mini market that is always open 24 hours.
"What does a woman like you do at 11pm tonight like this?" Ask Jackson.
"It's none of your business." Reply Alexa.
"Are you flirting with men? Or are you peddling your body? What's your fare? Let me pay you tonight."
Plaque!! Alexa landed a slap on Jackson's face.
"Why are you getting so fierce? Isn't the last time you didn't want to break up with me?" Jackson brought his face closer to Alexa.
Alexa can smell the alcohol from Jackson's breath.
"You're drunk." Reply Alexa.
"Say, why are you lying to me?"
"There's nothing I need to say anymore. You've listened to all my explanations."
"Why did you do it all?"
"I don't have an answer. You better get home soon." Alexa immediately pushed Jackson who immediately staggered and fell on the asphalt.
Alexa, who was about to walk back to Jackson and help him wake up.
"How much did you drink?" Ask Alexa. "Usually you can always keep your image even when you're drunk." Alexa.
"Not much, just 3 big glasses of beer and I was in the car drinking vodka."
'Oh my God...' Alexa helps Jackson stand up and get closer to his car.
"Go home, before you hit anyone else." Alexa.
"Can you help me?" Ask Jackson.
"Sorry I can't. You better call your guy or your best friend."
"I have no one." Reply Jackson.
"Whatever." Alexa said as he walked away leaving Jackson who was seen trying to stand by resting on the car.
Alexa wants to go to her car parked in front of the minimarket. He had just come home from Lika's boyfriend's birthday party and stopped by the minimarket to buy soft drinks and snacks. When he got out of the minimarket and put groceries into the car, Alexa saw a car speeding and hit a cat. The driver of the car was Jackson.
Alexa was about to get into his car, but he looked back at Jackson who looked completely drunk because he could not hold his own body to stand. Jackson was seen sitting next to his car.
Alexa let out a long sigh, then called her driver asking him to pick up the Alexa car in front of the minimarket. He then walked back to Jackson who was sitting on the asphalt.
'Yes, it worked.' Jackson said in his heart.
"It's very difficult." Alexa then helps Jackson stand up.
Alexa then helps Jackson get into the car while waiting for the driver to come. It did not take long Alexa driver came because the distance from the Alexa home to the minimarket location is very close.
"My driver will take you home." Alexa.
But Jackson did not respond, he seemed to be sound asleep.
"I don't know where this guy's address is Non."
"He lives in...."
Alexa took a long breath. If you ask the driver to take Jackson to his apartment, it will only be more troublesome. Not to mention Jackson who fell asleep and would be very troublesome for the driver if he brought Jackson into his apartment.
"All right, you just take my car home. Let me take her." Alexa.
"Then how do you get home?"
"Let me think about it later. It's late at night. You go home and rest." Alexa.
The driver Alexa nodded then got into Alexa's car and drove away. Alexa got into Jackson's car feeling upset.
"Just trouble." Grousers Alexa.
The car drove slowly, Jackson who was closed next to Alexa suddenly smiled faintly.
'Successfully.' he said again in his heart.
