Between Revenge and Love

Old Love

The girl from her past has transformed into a mature and graceful woman.

"Cloe..." Raphael was stunned to see the woman he once loved so much. Instantly his heart beat was racing hard.

The woman called Cloe ignores Raphael. He passed by the man with a flat look, as if he did not know the man who had just called his name. Cloe carried her daughter to Dolvie's bed.

"Grandfa.." call the girl, who immediately gets a kiss reply from her grandfather. Cloe smiled warmly at his Daddy. He completely ignored Raphael who was still stunned where he stood.

Mr. Dolvie saw his daughter's disregard for Raphael. He feels Cloe should be more friendly to him, let alone the events of five years ago were not Raphael's fault. He whispered to his daughter.

"Cloe... couldn't you be more friendly to her? You also know the truth. If it turns out that the past is just a misunderstanding." Mr. Dolvie's words moved Cloe's heart. Yeah, well, he shouldn't have been so bad with Raphael. Cloe leaves her daughter, and she rushes after Raphael.

"El...!" call Cloe when you see Raphael walking away.

Raphael paused, that special call made him recall the past. Good times with Cloe. Until now the call had always managed to keep his heart warm. Had Cloe asked to return to her, she would have easily accepted it. Raphael could not deny his heart, he still had a love for Cloe.

Unknowingly Raphael threw a hopeful smile at her. Cloe didn't ignore it. He met Raphael just for obeying his Daddy's words.

"I'm sorry, we've misunderstood you all along!" Cloe sincerely apologizes to her foster brother and ex-boyfriend.

Before replying, Raphael smiled again. "It's not a big deal to me." Reply Raphael calmly. "How about we talk at the cafe, we haven't seen each other in a long time."

Cloe nodded. They walked to the cafe next to the hospital. After ordering two glasses of cappuccino and cheese toast, Raphael began to fish for talks.

"How's your household? Are you happy?" asked Raphael to investigate.

Cloe across the table started to hue. The woman was uncomfortable with Raphael's question of wanting to know his personal problems. Frankly Raphael's question offended him.

"I'm very happy. My house is quite harmonious. This year we're planning on giving Emma a sister." Cloe deliberately emphasized that he was very happy in his household. In fact, the years of her marriage to Edmund were far from the happiness she had once dreamed of. In fact Edmund was not a responsible husband. He was just a regular employee with a small salary. Edmund was a gambler and a drunkard.

In the presence of Raphael who is the ex-boyfriend he dumped he is unlikely to say so. He was embarrassed enough to just open up his regrets.

"Ehm. I'm glad to hear that." Raphael pretended to be ordinary, but in his heart was very disappointed to hear Cloe's answer. He knows how Cloe is doing right now. He has received information from reliable sources. That Cloe's life is now very hard. Her husband was a gambler and a drunk, even some time ago Edmund was fired because of poor performance. But why did Cloe cover everything from her? Does that mean Cloe has no feelings for her anymore?

"How are you El...?" cloe's asking deflects the conversation. He wants to keep his own problems. He couldn't tell his Daddy much less with Raphael.

"Oh. I'm good. I opened a business in Indonesia and it was quite successful. If you want to visit my country, just say so. I'll arrange everything for you."

Raphael looked at Cloe, the woman looks more mature now and is good at makeup. Her clothes are also very good. Although not from a famous brand. Cloe is still very attractive in her eyes.

Raphael intended not to say his marriage. Suddenly his phone rang. Call from Dinda.

"Mas.... Mas where? Mr. Dito just called he said Mr. Raphael could not be contacted. The plane is leaving soon. Is Rapha okay?" ask Dinda worried.

Raphael goes awry, but in front of Cloe he can't lose. Yes he wants to prove that he has moved on completely from him. He answers Dinda in English so that Cloe can know the conversation.

"Yes Honey, I'm meeting an old friend. I'll be off to the air port soon. I love you honey. See you at home. Muezz." Raphael hung up his phone in satisfaction. At least now he can level the score with Cloe.

While Cloe's feelings are ripped apart. The hope that began to grow was instantly shattered. Raphael had no feelings for her anymore. There was already someone else filling Raphael's heart.

"Cloe, I'm sorry I had to catch a plane. I hope you won't hesitate to call me if there's any problem." Raphael gave his phone number to copy to Cloe's phone. Raphael walked away from Cloe who was still pensive.

Cloe drifts in daydreams and regrets. A cup of cappuccino that Raphael had not touched. He sipped it with pleasure. Suddenly fond memories of being with Raphael began to cross.

A tear fell without her being able to be dammed. That regret just came over to Cloe. Had he not betrayed Raphael they might have been the happiest couple on earth. During the courtship period Raphael always showed more attention to her. Even Raphael often spoiled him.

Cloe felt jealous when she heard how Raphael did not hesitate to show his affection for his wife. Surely that woman was very happy to have got Raphael. Unconsciously Cloe was envious.

***

Dinda paced around in her room. His heart's been agitated since last night. He had a nightmare, but he had forgotten the details of his dream. A fragment of his dream is about Raphael being captured by another woman.

When I woke up this morning, I almost forgot my dream. But when Mr. Dito called her and told her that Raphael could not be contacted, immediately made his heart restless. Maybe something happened to her husband. Especially when Dinda remembers that last night when they vc, Raphael complained that his company was in danger of bankruptcy.

Dinda was discouraged. She did not know her husband's work. Even though he wanted to help, he couldn't do anything. Dinda thought hard. Her husband is on his way home. She had to do something, so that when her husband arrived home she could help him.

Dinda decided to find out about her husband's work. Yes she should know what company her husband runs. At least with him knowing a little information regarding Raphael's company, there might be a solution he could come up with.

Dinda tried to open her husband's door. The door's locked tight.

"What's the matter, madam?" Reni the servant came to surprise Dinda.

"Can you open this door?" Ask Dinda at once orders for her.

Without waiting twice, Reni opened the door for Dinda. The servant girl left with a smile full of plans.
