GROANS OF DESTINY

THE S2-CHAPTER 10

If he doesn't want this relationship anymore... I am sincere as long as he can be happy and keep smiling

If we are not meant to be together in the end

Then let all the time we used to spend together... It's been a beautiful history that we used to love each other

I will not force you to continue this bond, for something forced will not end up pleasing Carlson Darius

Albern reopened his eyes, which were still heavy because they had been awakened by the alarm of his own body, which was used to waking up at 07:20 right for the schedule of morning prayers in France.

Albern glanced at Carlson who still seemed to be sleeping soundly with his snoring very hard to make Albern uncomfortable to sleep all night. Albern woke Carlson up to pray at dawn.

Carlson opened his eyes with all his energy, clearly visible from the folds of his forehead and the expression of his face and crooked eyes, it seems when drunk all night he cried all out.

Recently, Albern saw the messy and broken appearance of Carlson who is usually elegant, neat, cool, and always smiling every time he meets other people. It looks like Carlson has really fallen apart since the fight with Pamela yesterday.

They took ablution and immediately prayed together, both, Carlson who became the imam of prayer because apart from the knowledge of Carlson is also more experienced as imam of the mosque in France than Albern who in fact has only converted to Islam in recent years.

After the prayer Albern back folding his alphabet and waiting for Carlson who prayed to God very long, whether what is being asked by the 35-year-old man who is still single... or maybe he could be called an old man.

Although his age has now stepped on 35 years, it does not mean that Carlson has not sold or not popular among women, it's just that men always want to choose for themselves.

After Carlson appeared to move from his seat, Albern without further ado immediately questioned the purpose of the message Carlson had sent him "what do you mean that your marriage was annulled?"

Carlson, who had folded his scabbard, looked at Albern and smiled "that means I won't get married"

"Why!?"

Carlson shook his head "suddenly because of that misunderstanding Pamela asked for our marriage to be annulled"

"Misunderstanding?" albern asked with one of her eyebrows that seemed to be rising.

Carlson stared at the wall clock in his room "wasn't today your schedule of presentations with the Oxford English campus? it's almost 08:00 Albern"

Albern gasped at Carlson's remarks, and he remembered his reason for returning quickly at the campground to attend a presentation with his old teaching place at Oxford University.

"Sorry Carlson.I can't hear your explanation just now, once it's over I'll be back! don't try to drink alcohol!" exclaim Albern while descending quickly from the stairs.

Carlson smiled with a look in his eyes that I looked at Albern who came down quickly jumped over the stairs "sorry Albern. for now I will not come back here"

carlson murmured while closing the door.

***

Today is still a matter of days off for Riani, but because there is no longer anything that needs to be done Riani decided to go back to work and to the Confiance Firm as well as see how the state of Pamela's manquer now after a fight with Carlson yesterday.

Riani took a taxi to the front of the firm gate and stepped in accompanied by a greeting by the firm security guard, Riani replied to their greeting with a little stale about food, snacks, and food, and about the state of health and family security guard, therefore Riani is known to be familiar to everyone in the scope of the firm because of his hospitality.

Red car that is no stranger to Riani turned agile to the parking lot with nimble, Riani already knows who people who like to bring cars so.

Chloe got out of the red car and waved her hand vigorously at Riani "hai Riani, hi Sir Tom" Chloe said to Riani and the morning shif guard named Tom.

Chloe walked quickly to the security guard post "this isn't your day off?" chole asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Riani pursed her lips smiling at Chloe "there are a few things I need to talk about with Pamela's manquer" Riani said.

"Owh when I was about to get out of the apartment I met with manquer Pamela, she said she did not enter today, wanted a short break in the apartment" explained Chloe before being asked.

"Eh... why?" shocked Riani.

Chloe raises both her shoulders with a face expression that doesn't know "come on"

Riani again glanced at her watch "well, thanks for the info Chloe, then Riani to the apartment first" said Riani while looking left right and looking for one of the 3 special drivers of the Firm.

"Monsieur Elxin and Sir Domson were not at the Firm for the past few days manquer Riani, while Monsieur Jahad was escorting madam Mavey to the airport a while ago" obviously the security guard named Tom.

Riani nodded her head understanding "it's okay to take a taxi sir, thank you" said Riani before being cut by Chloe.

"Use my car first" Chloe said as she handed me the keys.

Riani looked at Chloe for a long time as if she was thinking of something "ah, no need, thank you Chloe, I don't want when you first drive your car immediately ticketed by the police because your car has become a fugitive on the streets because every time it's naughty" led Riani.

Chloe cengengesan heard Riani's refusal.

"Yes already... Assalamualaikum" said Riani as he stepped out of the Confiance Firm's security post.

"Waalaikumsalam" replied Chloe and Sir Tom together.

The taxi driver nodded and immediately pressed the gas pedal his car drove to the address he saw from Hp Riani earlier.

Riani smiled again looking at the apartment where she first settled after coming to France, the apartment room Riani lived in used to look empty but kept clean, Riani was still allowed to live in an apartment with Albern, Riani was still allowed to live in an apartment with her, but Albern refused and decided to stay with us in the apartment that Albern had bought. Inevitably Riani must obey the wishes of her husband.

Riani stepped slowly into one of the apartment units that are no stranger to her, this unit is one of the most frequented by Riani.

Riani raised her hand slowly while pressing a button on the left side of the door.

Not getting a response after 10 times pressing the bell button, Riani decided to turn around and wait while at the corner of the guardrail Apartment.

It didn't take long for a woman that Riani wanted to meet to come out while raising her head to the left right up and down.

"Assalamualaikum Manquer" hail Riani.

Manquer Pamela immediately gasped in shock "Waalaikumsalam, Riani.... "

"Can Riani discuss something with Manquer?" ask Riani.

Manquer Pamela folded her forehead in wonder at her eye bags that looked so thick and black "good" replied manquer Pamela as she let Riani in.

"What do you want to talk to me about Riani?" ask the manquer without a stale base"

Riani looked around the corner of Pamela's manquer room that seemed to be filled with tissue waste.

"Sorry.. If this room makes you uncomfortable, how about we move to the back?" manquer Pamela's suggestion with her voice from the beginning was already hoarse due to her full cry all night.

Riani shook her head "it's okay Manquer, because this place will later become evidence without engineering" Riani replied with a smile.

Manquer Pamela tilted her head 50 degrees, astonished at Riani's words.

Manquer Pamela moved from her seat to get a drink for Riani. It did not take long Manquer Pamela returned with 2 cups of hot tea that still let out steam on it.

Manquer Pamela blew on the tea while brewing it slowly "What's with you and sir Carlson yesterday at the restaurant near Manquer's xxx airport?" asked Riani who made Manquer Pamela squirt the tea she had drunk.

"What do you mean Riani? hahaha maybe you're wrong" elak Manquer Pamela.

"Sorry Manquer.. but there's no way Riani's wrong, so... why did the manquer fight with sir Carlson!?" riani asked once more with her eyes now looking sharp.

Manquer Pamela was shocked to see Riani's expression, manquer Pamela let out a long sigh of "Riani... there are things that you can participate in and there are things that you cannot take care of because it is not your business, do you want your leave to be revoked? and I'll send you to China about a case of coronavirus spreading?" ask Manquer Pamela.

Riani immediately shook her head and was silent for a moment "before that manquer... Riani had indeed thought about this many times whether Riani would question the incident that Riani saw yesterday or not, just recalling the fed up and sad expression of Manquer's face, Riani thinks maybe Riani should help the manquer get all of those things done" Riani said as she stared at the old photo of the manquer Pamela and Carlson on the table.

"There's nothing else that Riani needs to finish, because we've decided to cancel the wedding" explained manquer Pamela.

Now Riani can no longer make her voice suddenly after hearing Pamela's manquer speech, Riani's body sculpted instantly, fortunately Riani still remembers how to breathe.

Manquer Pamela smiled to get a response from Riani "Riani... You remember what you said the first time you met me?" asked Manquer Pamela while looking at Riani's smile.

Riani remained silent and manquer Pamela continued her explanation "How can a woman who seems to have a lot of experience with Playboy men and is often heartbroken and drunk be the leader of this Firm!? that ain't it? what did you ask me?" manquer Pamela's Laughter.

Riani smiled faintly at the words of manquer Pamela "at that time I was really shocked and immediately down regarding the day of my self Riani, even I used to want to kick you directly from before me, I wanted to kick you from before me, but once again I can't let a person who has talent like you waste it" explained Manquer Pamela.

Now Riani opened her mouth to talk "again sorry for my manquer speech"

The thin smiling Manquer got a response from Riani "after hearing your insults at that time, I tried to reduce drinking alcohol and make the design of this firm back formal and fun as before, because every mood I change, then I will also change the background design of the firm room" the thin smile of Pamela manquer.

"I've often been close to many handsome men and businessmen, just again somehow the love ran aground in the middle of the road just like that, is it possible I'm a bad woman? hahaha maybe it is, often after 2 days of being in a relationship I was decided because it was said not to be in line with their expectations, too high for them, too good, not to feel fit, different beliefs, and many other reasons that make me only able to singleness smile. Until I met the man I really felt was serious about, the man who would lead me to marriage" it seems that tears fall slowly from the beautiful face of Pamela manquer who is still young like a 26-year-old career woman even though the original age has stepped on 32 years.

"Any seriousness that used to show my former partner, always a minus value in their eyes, in contrast to Carlson who loves me for who I am" explained manquer pamela.

Riani holds the hand of manquer Pamela "Riani does not have a 7th Indra like Enne who can guess the future of others, Riani is not the omniscient, but at least for Riani... what Riani saw and felt all this time, that the manquer Pamela and sir Carlson you really love each other, if Riani may know.. what is the reason why you decided to cancel the wedding that you want to do in 4 days?" ask Riani.

Manquer Pamela took her eyes off Riani "maybe it was the fact that I decided to annul the marriage unilaterally" said manquer pamela.

Riani knew the condition and chose silence.

"I've been so sick and tired of holding back my jealousy every time I see Carlson constantly walking with younger, sexier, beautiful women, but I can also think that it was just one of his female friends who was also a lecturer at the same campus, or his students. I can accept it all, Riani, but the day after I visited the campus, I saw Carlson and a woman kissing in his car. how can I continue with the marriage after seeing it!?" pissed off manquer Pamela.

"Is that man really Sir Carlson?" ask Riani to make sure.

"How could it not be him! I saw clearly the license plate of his car, the clothes he was wearing this morning! student guidance to be brought to the company for her internship interview! how could I possibly be wrong Riani!?" exclaimed Manquer Pamela who slowly her tears fell back to wash her cheeks.

Riani felt guilty for recalling Pamela's manquer on the thing she didn't want to remember.
