Happy reading & ''Double

"So we get into big trouble, but look at everyone tested with their own life problems" Fabian said in his heart, staring at the sad face of the man in front of him.

"I won't waste the opportunity I have left. I'll declare my love to Renata as soon as possible," Fabian's inner self in her heart.

"Doctor Bima, I have to go because the day is getting late. I'm waiting for your goodwill to the investigator and don't forget I still have the confession you signed, that you are the father of the child in Lea's birth,"

" Yes, I will go to the investigator before I return to Bandung,"

"Thank you for your help, Doctor Bima," Fabian said, shaking the doctor's hand.

Fabian walked to his car parked outside the hotel building while examining a flat object he had taken from his pants pocket.

There were no replies to messages or missed calls from the woman he missed. Fabian checked the application message turns out that the chat he sent has not been received as well, it looks like Renata's phone is not active.

The time showed at 11pm when Fabian checked the clock that was twisting his wrist. "It looks like Renata and Celia are asleep" Fabian said. Fabian decides to go back to his apartment.

Fabian cleaned himself up and then laid his body on his bed that felt cold. For months, no one had accompanied his night's sleep.

"Re, I'm sorry I've been checking with the police all day. But I'm fine, you don't worry. Hugs and kisses for Celia as well as for you. Re... I miss you, really..." Fabian writes down the short message and sends it to Renata.

Fabian stared blankly at the ceiling of his apartment room. She misses the woman who was once her life partner.

Before long Fabian fell asleep in his sleep with the shadow of Renata filling his head.

Renata woke up when the morning was still dark, the sunlight did not want to show the warmth.

He stretched his body that felt sore. The first thing Renata did was look for gold-colored flat objects to find out if anyone contacted her especially Fabian.

She waited long enough for the flat object to light up perfectly and smiled faintly as she read the short message sent by her ex-husband.

His heart thumped and warmed when he found out Fabian missed him.

"Sorry Bi, it turned out that last night my phone died without me noticing. Thank goodness you're okay because Celia and I are, too" Renata replied to the message Fabian sent.

"I miss Bi, too" Renata sent a second message to Fabian.

With a happy smile Renata stepped foot into the bathroom to clean up. What a yearning word from Fabian to be his mood booster this morning. Renata finds it funny that she feels the euphoria of falling in love with the same person.

"Fall in love ?" Ask yourself when Renata reflects.

"Yes, I think I'm in love again" she replied, curling a smile.

"Mommy looks excited today" Celia said as she sat down at the dinner table waiting for her breakfast to be ready and watched her mother cook while humming. The scenery Celia rarely saw lately. Renata is making cheese fried rice for her as well as Celia and her housekeeper.

"Oh yeah ? It's normal, baby." Renata answered while offering a plate of fried rice to Celia.

"Mommy sings,"

"Okay, Mommy admitted. Mommy felt good this morning" said Renata, who then kissed the top of her child's head.

"Let's eat, it's noon. Mommy's gonna take you to school,"

And they also enjoy breakfast in the morning with interspersed with joking.

Renata arrived at his office in time. Without realizing it, someone was still following him by car.

Renata walks over while checking the phone he keeps in his work skirt pocket. His message to Fabian is still a check mark one, this afternoon Fabian has not activated his phone. Renata believes Fabian has not woken up because when Renata made the call, Fabian's phone could not be reached.

A few minutes later the incoming message notification reads. Soon Renata checks his phone but is disappointed when the name listed is Jamie.

Jamie : Renata, I'll pick you up tonight. We had dinner together. I'm gonna charge you something.

Renata furrowed her brows through the message, thinking hard about what debt or promise she had given Jamie so much that the man charged her.

Renata: charge what ?

Jamie: wait for tonight. You'll know. Happy work, have a great day.

Not dizzy, Renata put her phone back in the bag and tried to forget what Jamie wrote because she would start working.

Renata just sat himself on the chair and started to turn on the laptop in front of him. The phone rings again. This time it was the person he had been waiting for earlier who sent the message.

Fabian: Re, I'm sorry I woke up so bad so I could just reply to your message. Thank goodness you and Celia are okay. Today I saw the investigator again with doctor Bima. Business with the police really took up my time. I'm sorry I haven't been able to see you yet Celia.

Renata: its ok Bi.  We can meet when your business is done.

Fabian: thank you for understanding. Can't hardly wait to see you (can't wait to see you)

Renata: yes me too (yes I too)

The chat ended and Renata began to do her job.

***

That night Renata was accompanying Celia on homework when someone knocked on her door.

Renata turned her head to see the clock hanging on the wall showing at 7 p.m. Renata believes Jamie's coming to see him.

Renata walked to the door and opened it.

Jamie was standing at his door in a gray Chino pants and a plain black shirt that he had rolled up to his elbow. Looks handsome with neatly combed hair.

Jamie handed Renata a bouquet of red roses.

"For you, you like roses don't you ?"

Renata received the bouquet of flowers, now his heart was increasingly convinced that Fabian was someone who always sent white roses every Monday.

When in the past when still unmarried Fabian only sent a message eagerly, but when it has separated Fabian always sent a bouquet of white roses as an encouragement for Renata.

Fabian always made Renata feel loved. Without Renata noticing her tears had fallen on her cheeks.

"Still Bi, I love it, too," Renata replied as she swept her tears with the back of her hand.

"Bi ?" Jamie asked in his heart. But he seemed to care about himself no matter what Renata said.

"Let's have dinner, but just the two of you because like I said I'm gonna charge you something,"

Actually Renata wanted to refuse, but because Jamie had been at the door of his house there was no way he could do that.

"Wait a minute I'll change my clothes. But not in a far place.

"Okay, I'm waiting here."

Renata prepares and Jamie waits for her.

Although Renata only wears jeans and a regular blouse she still looks very pretty. For a moment, Jamie's doctor looked at Renata with longing.

"Come Bi, where are we going to eat ?" Renata called Jamie's name by the nickname Fabian.

Jamie still ignores that and invites Renata to dinner at a famous restaurant.

In Jamie's car they just sit idly by until they arrive at the destination.

"Jamie, I didn't know you'd take me to such a luxurious place. Look, it looks like my clothes don't fit."

Jamie is glad Renata regained consciousness and called her right.

" It's okay, you're still pretty wearing any outfit" Jamie replied, inviting Renata into the restaurant.

Now they sit facing each other in silence while waiting for his order that has not come.

"So you wanted to collect something from me. What is Bi ?" Renata asked unconsciously.

Jamie smiled wryly at that.

"It seems I don't have to charge I already know the answer," replied Jamie's doctor with a disappointed face.
