Jupiter immediately grasped Theolla's hand, and felt something strange on Theolla's finger. Jupiter lowered her gaze and saw a ring embedded in Theolla's ring finger.
"You're married La??"
Theolla hastily pulled her hand from Jupiter's, she lowered her head to hide her nervousness. Theolla never thought Jupiter would know this sooner, at the meeting of the two after years apart.
"Theolla?" Jupiter swiped Theolla's arm to resuscitate her.
"Sorry...!!" again the word came out of his mouth.
"I don't need an apology, I just need an explanation from the time you disappear from my life to this ring." Jupiter insisted, her eyes staring intently at Theolla's two eyeballs.
Theolla then sighed slowly "about this ring, I was betrothed by my parents." Theolla looked down again, reluctant to see Jupiter's expression.
Jupiter rested her body on the back of the sofa, and grabbed her hair in frustration.
Theolla who could not bear to see Jupiter's expression immediately grabbed her hand "this is an engagement ring, my wedding is still two months away."
Jupiter immediately straightened his body "serius?" there was a glimmer of hope in Jupiter's heart, once it knew it was just an engagement ring.
Theolla nodded her head, "i was forced to accept all this, because my parents had to repay the kindness of their family."
"At least I still have time to seize your heart again, even if it's only two moons." Jupiter said.
"My heart has never changed before" Theolla said, convinced she looked down in embarrassment.
"Well come with me...!!" Jupiter immediately pulled Theolla's hand, to go with her.
"Where are we going?"
"Later you'll know,"
"But my assistant Bella is still waiting outside,"
"Let my assistant take her home..!!"
After arriving in front of his room, Sandra and Mario who was sitting at his desk each immediately stood up to see his superior out. Their eyes were both fixed on Jupiter's hand at Theolla.
"Yo I'm going out for a minute, please take her assistant Theolla home...!!"
"Well sir...!!"
Jupiter and Theolla continue their journey. After her boss steps away, Sandra looks at Mario, who seems ordinary to see the proximity of Jupiter and Theolla.
"What's wrong with them?" sandra asked, looking at Mario who seemed to know something.
"They're involved in a complicated mass, already you don't find out too much, if you still want to maintain your position in this office." seduced Mario.
Glacier..!! Sandra immediately swallowed her saliva, hearing Mario's words. Although that sounds joking, but Sandra knows it's a total insinuation for her.
"Yes I've met his assistant bu Theolla first, if there is anything directly contact me yes do not contact Mr Jupiter."
"Yes sir...!!"
Mario passes to the waiting room where Bella is waiting for Theolla.
"Excuse me, come with me...!!" Bella, who was sitting reading a business magazine, was immediately shocked to hear the voice of someone greeting her.
"Where are we going, sir? I'm still waiting for my boss?"
"Mr Theolla and Mr. Jupiter were out about ten minutes ago, and I was assigned to get you home safely!!"
"Oh yes, if so, I can go home by myself sir..!!"
"It's an order from your superiors, there can be no rejection..!!" mario, staring hard at him. Bella finally complied with the cold-faced man's wishes, rather than having to argue with him.
*****
"Where are we going?" ask Theolla when they're in the car.
The atmosphere became silent for a moment, Theolla just silently followed Jupiter's orders. There was not much talk between the two of them, neither Jupiter nor Theolla were busy with their thoughts.
Half an hour later Jupiter's car enters a basement of a luxury apartment, Jupiter tells Theolla to come down to follow him. Although confused, Theolla finally followed Jupiter's steps. The two of them arrive in front of Jupiter's apartment.
After Jupiter pressed some numbers that became her apartment password, the door was finally opened.
"Let's go in...!!" bring Jupiter. Theolla hesitantly follows Jupiter's steps into her apartment.
Theolla spread her gaze to all corners of this luxurious apartment room, she was amazed to see the decoration and placement of items neatly arranged.
"Sit here La...!!" Jupiter patted the empty space next to it.
"This is your apartment?"
"Mmmm..."
"You live alone in an apartment this big?"
"Who else would you like to be, neither does the wife."
"Oh..."
"If you want a drink or a snack you take in the kitchen yes, just consider this apartment your own."
Although strange to hear the words of Jupiter, but Theolla just nodded her head.
"Now that we're just the two of us, no one will disturb or interrupt us, so I need your explanation right now."
"Exposing for what?"
"Why did you leave ten years ago from my life, and I also need an explanation of this ring." Jupiter grabs Theolla's hand, and points to her ring.
Theolla was silent for a moment to string together the exact words how to explain it to Jupiter.
"I'm sorry I was forced to do that, my family was in deep debt, my papah company in Singapore went bankrupt, we and our family returned to Indonesia."
"Why didn't you call me back then, maybe I could help your family La?" Jupiter was so inexhaustible, when Theolla's family had a problem she didn't know anything.
"It's impossible, at that time you were only a few months in college in New York, I didn't want to burden you, I thought that by staying away from you it was best for both of us, I don't feel like I deserve to be your lover."
Jupiter laughed sarcastically at Theolla's words "I didn't expect your mind to be that narrow, you remember I promised I'd always be by your side no matter what happens, like or sorrow."
"I'm sorry.it's all my fault, I should have shared that grief with you, but I was too cowardly I was afraid that you would feel inferior to the changes that were happening in my life. After my return to Surabaya, I dropped out of college for two years because there was no charge. I only worked as a cafe waitress, at that time our lives were all out." Theolla sobbed to tell her story in the past.
Jupiter, who could not bear to see Theolla crying like that, immediately took Theolla into his arms. Hearing Theolla's story, making
Jupiter felt what Theolla had experienced first.
"Ssttt.do not go on anymore, sorry to remind you of the past memories." Jupiter patted Theolla's back to calm her down.
Theolla shook her head in Jupiter's arms, "I have to tell you everything, so you don't misunderstand me anymore."
Jupiter stretched out her arms and grabbed Theolla's shoulders "I believe in you Theolla, sorry I wasn't next to you in your difficult time."
