Chasing an Ex

Explanation

POV Author

"You why Ni?" Satya asked who saw Nia looking up her face, so that her tears would not spill, but still, the pain in her heart that felt like making her tears flow from the corner of her eyes.

"It's okay bang. Abis read the novel, the story is sad." Nia said she was lying.

"Novel is not real. Just an imaginary story from the author." Satya said as she shook her head to hear Nia's explanation.

"But still sad." Nia said again as she wiped the tears in the corner of her eyes.

"These drafts. Been done. Go home yuk." Bring Satya.

"Abang first. There's something I want to take care of. I've already called Rani anyway." Said Nia who tried to smile, forgetting her pain for a moment.

"Angat interja, all want to know the prospective in-laws." Satya said that teased Nia.

"Pleas bang's. Brother first yes. I'm submitting the report. Let's have a meeting tomorrow, but Nita can explain." Nia said with a serious expression, which made Satya give up, then leave Nia.

To calm down, Nia decides to contact Erik, her papa confidant.

"Yok Ni." Erik said as he opened the door beside him, as soon as he saw Nia sitting at the bus stop.

"Where are you going?" Erik asked when he saw Nia just shut up.

"Is there a beach nearby?" Nia asked, because while in the city of P, Nia had never explored, the traffic route was only campus, dormitory, then Reyhan's house when they were married.

"There is. But about 2 hours drive." Bright Erik.

"It's okay bang. Take me there please.🥺" Nia said with a facial expression that made Erik unable to say no.

"OKs. But aren't you looking for Rey or your two body guards?" Ask Erik who knows exactly how Reyhan poses.

"It's okay. Anyway Rey, not at home." Nia said as she closed her eyes, trying to neutralize the pain that Nia was trying to cover with pretence.

"Yes, you rest first. I'll wake up when I get there." Said Erik who understood that Nia was not okay.

Nia who felt tired of heart and mind, finally fell asleep. Erik looked at Nia's tired face with a smile, because since he knew Nia, Erik considered Nia to be his little sister. Whatever he's gonna do for his little sister to be happy.

After traveling almost 2 hours, they arrived at the beach deserted, because the day had shown almost 8 pm.

"Ni, we're here." Erik said as he woke Nia up, and shook his shoulders slowly.

"Hmm... Has it reached the bang?" Nia asked as she stretched her body the typical style of waking people.

Nia got out of the car, and walked down the beach barefoot. The chasing waves wet his feet, making Nia feel a little calm.

After all, Nia is an ordinary woman, who is stunned to put forward feelings when it comes to the heart, but she will put forward logic for other affairs.

Nia who was tired of walking, finally decided to sit on the beach, letting the roll of the beach waves that pulled over constantly, reach her feet.

"Are you better?" Asked Erik who was standing next to Nia, which made Nia have to look up at Erik.

Erik did not like to see the tears that were still clearly visible on Nia's cheeks, because as long as Erik knew Nia, the girl was the most beautiful girl he had ever met.

"While shoulder for a cry of hem?" Erik said and sat down next to Nia.

"Later wet brother" said Nia while leaning her head on Erik's shoulder, because Nia knew, if Erik only considered her a sister, because Erik already had his own idol.

"nothing. I saw a boutique at the end of the street. We'll buy and change clothes there." Erik said as he looked at the open sea.

Almost an hour more, they just sat quietly in silence, looking at the pounding of small waves chasing towards the beach.

"Udah an hour you just shut up. No intention of venting with my brother?" Ask Erik.

"Household problems, can I not tell my household problems to other people bang." Answer Nia.

"But sometimes we need to tell stories so that the burden we feel becomes less Nia." Erik said again.

"I can't tell you because I don't know for sure. I just saw it from my point of view. Although it hurts, but I've thought about it all, if I have to look from Reyhan's point of view." Answer Nia wisely.

Hearing Nia's answer, it was like Erik held her in his arms, so that Nia could share her sadness. But Erik understood very well what Nia was like, so Erik would never touch Nia, otherwise Nia who touched him, as she is today, still leaning her head on Erik's shoulder.

"Again lamar Imel next month?" Nia asked who was trying to divert Erik from the problem that Nia was facing.

"So. The preparation is 90. You want to propose using the idea you said. You open EO aja gih, every event idea you submit is always out of the box. If you want, brother's wedding will be your first project." Erik said enthusiastically.

"Look at the bang, because I'm a labil, not consistent, still like a carrot that likes the spirit at the beginning, but it starts to soften when it's bored." Nia said then stood up while cleaning her pants on the back of the sand

"If you open EO, it must be cool every event you handle." Said Erik who was also following along standing up and cleaning his pants.

"Well, I'm the Wedding Planner. Ntar his brother nginya 2 M again." Nia protests while walking towards Erik's car.

"What's 2M? Really expensive. Go around the world buk." Erik said with a laugh.

"Expensive from where?" Asked Nia who had gotten into the car after Erik.

"2 M, can make a party 7 days 7 nights brother Ni." Said Erik who started running his car.

"Well, with 2 M, Thanks Thanks for having a party of 7 days and 7 nights?" Nia asked as she looked at Erik, which made Erik laugh immediately, not believing that 2 M was not 2 Billion, but Thanks.

"Dear this, Nia this mode. Don't be sad anymore, huh? No pantes. You're the panties like gini, funny. Ih so megegemesin, want to pinch his heart deh." Erik said with a laugh, making Nia raise next to her eyebrows, digesting Erik's words.

"Anybody want to kill me?" Ask Nia who is pretending to be serious.

"That, you want to pinch my heart. It means I die first dong, then brother can pinch my heart. Then there-there's a gemes that usually people pinch their cheeks, this is playing heart pinch." dumel Nia pretended that made Erik can not say anything, he said, karen knew that Nia was just pretending to be mad.

"If you don't think of anyone's wife, you're already in your pocket." Erik said again.

"I'm an opa lompa." Said Nia again.

"Ompa lompa?" Erik asked confusedly.

"The childhood is not happy gini, ompa lompa do not know. Later until my brother's house watch deh Charlie n choklat factory, well that's not even the same ompa lompa." Nia said while laughing.

"Aye aye capatain" Erik said as he saluted. It was great to see Nia laugh and return to her ignorant mode.

After changing clothes at the boutique that is open 24 hours, Erik and Nia finally decided to return to the city of P.

"Are you sure you don't want to eat first Ni?" Ask Erik.

"This bread is quite bang, make a wedge." Nia said while chewing the bread they had bought in the mini market.

"Fuck?" Ask Erik in wonder.

"Yes, I'll let the hull not demo." Nia said while laughing.

"You are there-there is. I thought what the hell was going in the wedge. Yes, you rest gih, later you wake up when you arrive." Erik said

"My eyes are on 100-watt mode again, so no drowsiness." Nia said as she blinked her eyes at Erik, which made Erik laugh again.

"Brake, like anabeel doll." Erik Ledek.

"Jiah, cute gini in say anabeel." Nia Protest.

That's what they do along the way, which makes the journey to the city of P so not felt.

Arriving at home, Nia immediately entered after security officers opened the gate.

"I go in first bang. Be careful on the road, and thank you for everything." Nia said she waited for Erik's car to leave Reyhan's yard.

Nia immediately entered the house and headed straight for her room. The house is already quiet because when we get home, the clock has shown almost 2 pm.

Nia turned on her room light when she entered the room.

"Astag." Said Nia who was shocked as the light flashed, Reyhan was sitting on the sofa, with an angry expression.

"Where are you from? Just got home at this hour? Office business I think it's over from this afternoon." Reyhan asked with a cold expression holding back in anger.

"So I was from the apartment near the 5pm event." Nia replied which made Reyhan a little surprised..

"You see me with Diandra?" Ask Reyhan again.

"Yes." Yeah." Jawan Nia was short, because her heart was in pain again.

"What you see, is not what you imagine." Reyhan said again, with a tone of speech beginning to soften.

"Do you know what I imagine?" Nia asked as she walked to the nightstand and put down her backpack.

"Look at me if I talk about it Ni." Said Reyhan who was getting upset again.

"Sorry, I'm tired. Obviously I didn't do anything that violated the norm. I know the limits when I'm a wife, even if I don't think so." Nia said and went into the bathroom.

Not knowing why, Nia's heart ached again when she remembered Reyhan walking hand in hand with another woman, although Reyhan's expression was ordinary.

Nia flushed her head with cold water using a shower so that the tears vying to plunge soaked her cheeks were not visible.

"Ni, why are you inside so long?" Reyhan's question banged on the bathroom door, making Nia wake up from her daydream.

Nia immediately completed her bathing activities, then wore a towel that was always available in the bathroom.

"Czech"

Nia opened the bathroom door and immediately headed for the walking closet, to use her nightgown.

"We're not done talking about Ni. You sit down." Reyhan ordered.

"Otherwise, mas. Yes, I have no problem with walking, going or doing anything with anyone, in accordance with our agreement at the beginning, if no one can interfere with each other's privacy life." Said Nia who was getting upset and was still standing in front of the door walking closed.

"ck, you have to beat me up." Reyhan said as he pulled Nia's hand to immediately sit in front of him.

"Diandra's Els' friend. I met him who apparently lived next to the apartment unit I was living in. Diandra is like that, spoiled by those close to him, because I know Diandra from childhood." Reyhan was clear with a calm voice.

"No need to explain. Just like I said before." said Nia

"Although there was a ridiculous agreement I made at the beginning of our marriage, but it was made because I was angry again. I don't like you getting close to Satya anyway." Said Reyhan who again began to dominate once Nia remembered familiar with Satya.

"I'm the same Bang Satya ordinary, just like with bang Rama, Mr. Herlambang, with other coworkers." Nia said

"Yes. But Satya likes you. I know Satya, Aunt Zahara is my best friend. Once Satya likes someone, she'll go after them forever to be hers" Reyhan said.

"But bang Satya is good, not like that." Bela Nia

"Yes, he doesn't know you yet. Anyway don't go near Satya, or try to keep hope." Reyhan lighted up, then headed towards the bed.

She began to lay her body on the sofa where she used to sleep during her marriage to Reyhan. Nia started to close her eyes, as her heart started to feel calm.
