"Welcome to our company" Kirana said, swallowing her saliva.

"You owe me one dinner, Miss Kirana," replied the man with the blue eyes of the sea without heeding Kirana's greeting.

It was the man he had met yesterday at the airport. "How can you?" Kirana in her heart.

"Adam Bradley" he said, reaching out to shake hands.

"Ki.. Kirana Wijaya," replied Kirana while welcoming the hand. Strong handshake and so confident.

"Please sit Mr. Bradley" Kirana said as she walked over and showed me a sofa in the room.

"Just Adam, just call me Adam." Answer the man.

Kirana smiled, "but we are in a formal situation" Kirana said.

"It's the same for me" Adam insisted.

Finally they sat face to face on the sofa, talking about the cooperation that will be established. Mega accompanied Kirana and recorded every important point of the meeting.

Kirana was grateful in her heart that Mega accompanied her there. Adam was very keen to show his interest in Kirana.

"So you're gonna handle this project ?" Ask Adam full of questions.

"No, this branch office is held by my sister. But it just so happens that he is having a need in Shanghai China for the next few days. For the next time you will be in contact with him," replied Kirana.

"Why are you so formal ?" Ask Adam not to like it.

"Because we have to do this professionally," Kirana replied.

"So what about your dinner debt ?" Adam asked shamelessly even though Mega was there.

"As I said, I've been married. So it's impossible to do that. Sorry.."

"There is Indonesia's largest entrepreneurial event at Hotel Xyz in the next few weeks. Do you want to accompany me? Adam did not give up.

"If you happen to meet, you will meet there" replied Kirana calmly.

"Can we be friends ?" Ask Adam who found it so difficult to get close to Kirana.

"Of course, doesn't this also include friendship ?" Kirana asked back.

Adam smiled feeling stupid, "Kirana's a smart woman" Adam thought

"Can you ask for your mobile number to be easy to contact?" Adam asked who was getting more and more difficult to get close to Kirana.

"Of course" Kirana said, giving her mobile number.

"I'm betting this must be your business number,"

Kirana smiled and nodded her head.

"I can only contact you on business hours and days ?" Ask Adam not to like it.

"Of course," Kirana replied calmly.

Adam breathed a heavy sigh. He did not understand why he could be interested in a woman who had married and it began to torture him.

"Can we meet again ?"

"Perhaps, I can't answer your question on this one" replied Kirana.

Flashback...

***

It had passed 2 days since the meeting with the man named Adam and this was not an easy matter for Kirana because the man was still trying to get close to her

His condition was at the lowest point of his life and the arrival of the man who paid attention to him was not an easy thing to go through. Kirana painstakingly kept her sanity.

Now he is here, at the wedding reception of his sister-in-law who is also his best friend. It is necessary that he meets the man who has brought him to that low point.

Kirana set her breath that felt so tight. Unexpectedly, despite having been separated for quite a while but seeing Sakti standing there with eyes that kept looking at her made Kirana's heart feel so painful and sore.

Kirana ignored her husband's presence. The shadow of how Sakti hurt him flashed clearly in his head.

He continued to concern himself with looking after Celia, because his two sons have now been with Sakti's parents.

He bent his body to kiss the hands of the two Sakti parents who were sitting in the chair, even Mami hugged and whispered in Kirana's ears. Makes the woman nod her head.

I don't know what Mami said to her, but Sakti can see the two women shed tears. Seen from the two women who rubbed their cheeks each.

Kirana re-enforced her body, her eyes collided with Sakti's eyes. Although she did not want to, Kirana finally had to face her husband.

Kirana walked gracefully toward her husband.

"Ki," said Sakti when they stood facing a fairly close distance.

Kirana smiled at the man who was still her husband. He's getting closer to her. Without speaking a word, Kirana's clumsy fingers fixed the Sakti tie that was attached less perfectly.

Is.deg...deg...deg...deg...

Both hearts beat faster.

Silent...

There is not a word that can be said from the lips of both.

The heart aches and the chest that feels so tight is felt by Kirana as well as Sakti at this time.

Sakti continued to stare at Kirana's slightly bowed face, the warm breath of Sakti Kirana could feel on her face. While Kirana continues to tidy up her husband's tie and tries to ignore Sakti's eyes.

Kirana patted Sakti's chest softly signifying she had finished what she was supposed to do.

She lifted her head and smiled back at her husband before leaving Sakti without a word coming out of her mouth.

Like hypnotized, Sakti just froze in his place. Her breathing felt short, not expecting Kirana to do that to him. He was not even able to say a word of thanks. His tongue feels ugly.

The pat on Sakti's shoulder brought his consciousness back, "why are you standing this daydreaming?" Let's sit down and start the event," invite Mami to Sakti to sit down immediately. He also obeyed his mother's words. Sakti sits between her two children. His hands hugged his two children sitting on his left and right sides.

"Father miss you," said Sakti while giving a kiss on the top of the heads of his two children.

The marriage contract will be carried out soon, Kirana deliberately sat far from Sakti with Celia on her lap. He knew Sakti was watching him but he tried to ignore it.

Fabian said his pledge of kabul ijab smoothly and firmly. He is now officially Renata's husband.

Kirana shed happy tears for her sister-in-law.

After the ijab kabul event passed, they began to take family photos together. Kirana takes a different side to Sakti, until they are quite far apart.

"May I sleep with Mommy and Daddy again ?" Celia asked plainly while enjoying the dish.

Some people smile at hearing that.

"Celia bobo with Mama Ki ? In hotel. Mama Ki brought a lot of souvenirs for Celia," said Kirana persuaded.

"Yes, my mom brought a suitcase of souvenirs just for Celia" Davin said.

"Then Davin and Dareel slept with Oma huh ? Oma kangen's. Can you please Ki?" Ask Mami Sakti to Kirana.

Kirana nodded her head in response.

"Oke Celia tonight bobo with Mama Ki aja." Celia said enthusiastically.

Sakti who was there could only listen to their conversation.

Kirana walked towards the toilet. Sakti who saw that immediately kept the plate she was holding, downed her drink in haste and immediately stood up to catch up with Kirana.

Sakti patiently dragged Kirana in front of the toilet. Kirana soon got out of the place by tidying up her clothes. He gasped when he found Sakti waiting for him.

"Ki... We have to talk" Sakti told Kirana who had just come out.

"I don't think there's anything to talk about anymore." Kirana smiled and tried to leave in front of her husband.

"I've met that man. He told me everything" Sakti said, holding Kirana's arm from leaving.

Kirana stopped her steps and turned her head to Sakti.

"I don't think it matters anymore" he replied and gently removed Sakti's hand on his arm.

"I just want to talk when it comes to our divorce process," he said again and now completely leave Sakti who returned speechless.
