Meylisa who was watering flowers was surprised by the return of Alexa which he thought was too fast. It's still morning. Usually the girl just returned home in the afternoon.
However, Meylisa's brows frowned in surprise. Either the facts or just his vision, but there was something strange about his daughter's appearance. That girl looks fucked. Isn't that usually the girl always elegant? But why did he run to the house this time after getting out of the car? Is it because of the rush to pick something up? But why forget the habit of greeting your mother?
Unable to be tortured curious, Meylisa put her water hose and rushed to the princess to then ask to be sure.
"Dear, what's wrong with you? How come this hour is home?"
Alexa who was in front of him immediately turned around and made Meylisa turn her head. How not? The girl shed tears. Even his cheeks look bruised.
"Alexa! What's the matter, honey?" Panicked, Meylisa immediately approached and touched Alexa's cheek. Unexpectedly, his touch actually hurt Alexa until the girl strangled restrained.
"Howw! It hurts, Ma! Why touched!"
"sorry. You don't know, darling. But why is it like this? You fell down, right? Or shock?"
Meylisa groaned at her mother's unreasonable question. Already feeling pain, his mother even made him more upset.
"This is all Mulan did, Mama! He made me like this!" Alexa grimaced in her tears. Even to speak, he felt pain.
"meaning?"
Alexa clenched her arms so fiercely. Either her mother was too innocent or stupid. Even to interpret speech alone cannot. Should he explain clearly?
"He slapped me, Ma! He's embarrassing me!"
"Geez!" Meylisa widened in surprise, therapy was also hard to believe. Isn't Mulan a weak girl? How could a weak woman who usually just resigned it make the invincible Alexa so like this?
However, seeing Alexa's emotions inevitably Meylisa becomes trusting. I don't know what kind of test is going on with his family. Yesterday her husband who came home immediately rampaged. And now his daughter who came home immediately cried with the cause of the same person. Tomorrow again what will happen? Will Mulan judge him too?
Meylisa embraces Alexa to calm down. However, he also felt sick and fretted at the thought of Mulan's actions. "Cup cup .... Calm yourself, dear. There's Mama here." He rubbed his daughter's shoulders slowly.
Alexa rests her head on Meylisa's shoulder. While he was sobbing, he also said. "I don't accept this, Ma! I have to avenge Mulan more cruelly than what she did!" Alexa raised her head and stared intently at the front. His hands were also clenched with determination.
As the girl who had always been superior and invincible, her vengeful soul thrashed. Alexa remembers how she was freed from Mulan's deadly threat.
He who continued to cry without being able to resist was finally released by Mulan but with a strong impulse.
Alexa slumped to the floor and hit the table in front of her. His forehead was indeed hurt by the rest of the impact, but not as much as his heart did not accept the words Mulan had spoken to him.
"I haven't lost, Mulan! I haven't lost!"
***
Mulan packed up to go home when her watch pointed to the number four. The woman still looks cheerful even though the body feels tired. There was a relief in his heart after finishing the meeting today.
This was his first meeting with a major company EC CORPORATION. Although they only sent representatives, but Mulan was satisfied because EC CORPORATION received both the company's designs.
The woman continued to develop her smile. This is a good start to Mulan's return to the company. Apparently the knowledge he has never lost even though for seven years just busy themselves babysitting Rayyan and struggling in the kitchen of a small restaurant. His ability still works as well as it used to.
Unfortunately, he was too weak to foolishly hide to protect his son. However, it turned out that it was not too bad because during hiding he was forged all-out by circumstances to survive. And now all that remains are the strong Mulan and the stoic Mulan.
Now he is sure, the existence of Bima and his family is just a small pebble that will not be able to hinder his steps towards happiness. They are not stumbling blocks.
After saying goodbye to Cyndi he rushed to the lobby. Mulan carrying a grocery bag while typing a reply message. The online taxi he booked was waiting in front of the office and he asked the driver to wait for him for a while.
Unfortunately, when he just got out of his office, the woman's steps had to stop because there was someone who deliberately collided.
"sorry. I was not intentional." Mulan who was in a hurry was reluctant to look at that person's face. He picked up his bag and decided to leave. However, a check on her wrist forced the woman to stop and look curiously at the opponent's face.
Immediately Mulan turned her head. The tall-bodied figure from his past was staring with a cold expression.
"You?" he said in shock with his eyes wide.
"Hi Mulan's. How are you?" asked the man expressionlessly. It remains as it was before, even though seven years have passed.
Mulan. A moment after he managed to control himself he was surprised to see his hand was still in a strangle Reno, until without hesitation he jerked it until it was released.
"You want to come here!" the cynic doesn't like. She took two steps back to create distance from her ex-husband.
Reno chuckled at the reaction Mulan showed. The woman was still the same as their last meeting. On the day of Mulan's wedding to Bara. Mulan shouldn't have to be like this, right? They used to not love each other. Decided to part well. Even Mulan herself asked them to keep in touch, but what is the truth? Mulan suddenly disappears and reappears with a feeling of hatred.
Is it wrong if Reno feels suspicious if the woman is hiding something valuable from him?
Instead of being offended by Mulan's unfriendly attitude, Reno spoke casually. "Mulan, Mulan. Don't be cynical that time. I'm just your ex-husband, not some market thug who wants to ask for a daily ration. I just want to find something similar to you. Yes, it can be said to be important, but it can also be said to be unimportant. It depends on your judgment. Looks like our meeting this time is just a warm-up, because for some time to come, we will often meet after this new project runs. See you next time ...."
Mulan just turned her back to see Reno pass. What does it mean to warm up?
