But not Me

Expiry Taste

A week passed Bagas lived his new home life with a small family that is very dear to him, although Dara did not want and was not ready to be close to him, he said, and he had to be willing to sleep in the same bed but far apart and there was almost never any physical contact between them, after all Dara was still in his puerperium, so it does not seem to be a big problem for Bagas to assume that he is learning self-control.

During that time Bagas never cared about anything else except his small family and his company, all became invisible in the eyes of Bagas, including about Kamila, the woman he had loved so much and for years became the sole inhabitant in his heart who is still in his house but has never been seen.

Ironic indeed, though, se Bucin used to Bagas on Kamila until she acted like a madman obsessed with women who chose to marry men richer than her and her infatuation for Kamila also caused her to marry a girl aged 20 years without love just because his obsession wants to have a girl who looks like his beloved lover, but now it turns around, Bagas seems to forget Kamila just like that, all his love for Kamila who was previously as big as the world was not even as big as a seed jangung even though, as affected by karma, his heart is now tethered only to Dara, he said, the woman who had now given him a handsome and healthy descendant.

In the midst of his busyness to help Dara who had just finished bathing baby Kai that morning, their room door was knocked from the outside, knocking from the outside, Bagas immediately shouted to allow him to enter because he thought that it was Anwar who would report the development of the pavilion case, or Panji who usually delivered a stack of documents to sign and bring them back to the office.

But it turns out the assumption was wrong, not Anwar or Panji who came to see him that morning, but Kamila, his body looks thinner with blackened eye circumference sign that he often stayed up, but, his face also looked very pale, the woman was nothing like an undead.

"May I speak with you!" said Kamila flat, trying hard when he saw the man who once adored him so much that he did not even turn his eyes towards him for a second, he looks serious and cool joking with his son who is not even a month old, the eyes full of love Bagas now no longer belongs to him, his attention is not left even a little for him, the eyes full of love Bagas now no longer belongs to him, it hurts to see all that, even though he is aware that he himself caused all that, if he wants to be patient in facing Bagas, he said, if he does not obey the lust to play with young men who give him pleasure for a moment and just squeeze the money, Ah,, it seems all if it is no longer the case, he said, everything has expired and in fact Bagas has completely escaped from his grasp, remaining only pain and regret that is also as big as the world today.

"Speak, I'll listen to it!" answer Bagas with eyes still fixed on his handsome baby.

Kamila looked very annoyed, she glanced at Dara, she glanced at him, indeed, he did not want Dara to hear the rude speech or mockery of Bagas to him so as to make himself lose face in front of the woman he considered his greatest enemy.

"I'll go out first, please talk!" as understood by the look of Kamila's eyes that did not want her to be in between their conversations, she was also not interested at all to know what they were going to talk about.

"No, you stay here-prevent Bagas when Dara's saying goodbye-and you, if you mind talking in front of my wife, better not talk to me!" Bagas now turned his head towards Kamila, but his gaze was another highlight, neither the usual shady gaze, nor the loving gaze he had always gotten from the man before.

Dara swallowed her saliva, now she seemed to be trapped in a conversation drama two humans who really did not want her to hear and know, finally she took her baby from Bagas's sling and walked to the balcony, and she was still very scared, with the reason he wanted to sunbathe with his baby, that was the only way he avoided their chat, because Dara was not allowed to go outside the room by Bagas, he did not want to hide anything from his wife, so that the conversation with Kamila was he wanted Dara to hear it too, it was a form of seriousness Bagas in showing that he had no more taste in Kamila.

"Speak, I don't have much time!" bagas said, do not mind Dara choosing to be on the balcony of his room, because he believes Dara can still hear the conversation he had with Kamila very clearly.

Bagas invited Kamila to sit on the sofa in the room, where she did all her office work.

"Bagas, can't we talk together?" kamila's eyes wailed, she really did not want to drop her pride in front of Dara because she only wanted a little time to talk to the man.

"Speak here or not at all!" firmly Bagas, obviously Kamila is very familiar with the hard nature of Bagas, so inevitably he must follow the will of Bagas.

The man who for years considered dead love on him so he was big head and felt that Bagas could not possibly love another woman besides himself was now considered like a stranger in his life, he said, only a woman should be pitied by the tragic story of her life who had parents but seemed outcast, and had no one but her.

"I'm sick!" adunya, hoping Bagas will be touched by what he is stirring, he said, want to see his reaction is still as worried first if he just sliced a knife when peeling the fruit alone Bagas will panic and fear of anything happening.

"You know I'm sick, and you don't even intend to see how I am, what pain I am, or who I am? You changed!" Kamila started to hysterically when she heard Bagas' flat answer, truly he felt no longer valuable at all in front of Bagas who used to always say that he was the only woman most valuable to Bagas' life and he did not want to lose Kamila.

"Don't I call the doctor to check on you, what are you hoping for? I can't cure you because I'm not a doctor or a healer!"

"Bagas, am I not worth that much to you? That easy you threw me out of your heart? Remember, I accompanied you when your family business wasn't this big,"

"I remember, and I also remember that you left me when my business went down because you chose to marry a richer man." - cynical Bagas, his heart felt hot again when it came to discussing the matter.

"I had to, that was my parents' will!" elak Kamila's.

"Omong empty, should you be able to resist, as you are currently doing, running away from the matchmaking your father made with Aryo?" said Bagas again.

"I'm wrong, I'm sorry, I just want you to come back like the old Bagas again, who loves me, loves me wholeheartedly, I realize no man can love like me, haven't I changed? I've never gone anywhere again, I've stayed at home even though you never thought I was in this house" lamented Kamila, as she said, he already did not care if Dara heard all the words that pleaded this, he also did not care if Dara would spell or laugh at him because of his pride that was allowed to plunge freely in front of Bagas.

"Kamila, I don't want to be a fool for the umpteenth time because I love you, after all, I've not turned you in, and you agree as long as you still allow me to stay in this house, as long as you're looking for a new place to live, doesn't that mean we've got nothing to do but you as a passenger in this house?" Bagas could not sort out any more words to convey to Kamila, he did not care if his words would hurt the woman, all must be clarified because otherwise, he did not, Kamila will continue to be a thorn in her household with Dara.

"I-I don't want to part with you, I can't!"

"Kamila, I've decided to buy you a house, or an apartment for you to live in, think of it as our divorce compensation, let's end it all well, we start each of our lives, looking for our own happiness." said Bagas died down again after almost losing his control, but from behind the glass balcony Dara glanced at him, making him return to lower his emotions.

"No-you can't divorce me, you can't kick me out of this house, you can't keep me away from you" Kamila said.

"Kamila please don't make things difficult, I don't love you anymore, we can't be together, I've got a new life that makes me happy, I want to be a good husband to my wife, and a good father to my son!" The eyes of Bagas turned towards the balcony directly opposite him, seen Dara who was cradling their baby, making his mood cool for a moment, Dara taught herself to be patient indirectly from the attitude she showed her, so that she could gradually behave better by the day.

"You're not fair, you just want to be a good father to your son, but you want to expel your son who's still in my stomach!" kamila said at the end.

"What do you mean?" Bagas sharpened his hearing and hoped that he would just mishear it.

"I'm pregnant, and this is your child!" firmly Kamila with sharp eyes staring at the face of Bagas who is now frowning, wondering if he heard wrong?
