S2 - E44

Voren got up from his chair, he tidied up his tie and also a suit to always and always neat. He pulled his wrist, glancing at the luxurious watch that was always used to perfect his luxurious appearance.

"Doni, is Daren ready?" ask Voren.

"Information from Dinar, fifteen minutes away, Mr. Daren just finished the meeting, sir," replied Doni.

"Alright, then we wait in the restaurant alone," said Voren.

"Okay sir, I'll pass it on to Dinar" said Doni.

Voren immediately stepped out of the study. It was seen that the employees who were just about to leave their desks to go to lunch, were forced to sit back and perform.

"Mr Voren is not fierce, but why has it been so creepy lately?" the officers commented.

"True, his smile looks very scary" said another.

Daren soon enters a Japanese restaurant located in the city center. He certainly wondered because of the tumben once Voren invited lunch together. He saw Doni who was already standing waiting for him in front of the door of the VIP room.

"Welcome, Mr. Daren, please," said Doni welcoming the man's presence, then opened the door.

"Thank you, Doni," said Daren.

Daren took off his shoes when entering the VIP room with a view of the Japanese garden that is so beautiful. The stones are arranged so aesthetically, the fence is made of bamboo, to a mini pool with bamboo stems channel the flow of water into the pool.

Daren immediately sat on a tatami, in front of him presented dishes in the form of sashimi, various kinds of sushi, to ramen.

"Thank you for coming, Daren," said Voren.

"I'm sorry, I'm late, the meeting with the client is longer than I expected" Daren said.

"Let's eat," asked Voren.

Voren held the chopsticks and picked up the fresh pieces of fish meat that were on the ice cubes and chewed them.

Daren could not eat fish that was still raw, so he only chose ramen to eat.

"Daren, how long have you and your girlfriend been in a relationship?" ask Voren while taking a piece of sushi and dipping it into shoyu or commonly referred to as Japanese soy sauce.

Daren did not immediately answer Voren's question, because he was still busy chewing on chewy ramen noodles.

Voren stared intently at Daren, impatient, eager to get an answer from the man. 

"Sorry Voren, why are you asking that question?" ask Daren.

"I'm really curious" Voren said as he poured a teapot of warm green tea into Daren's cup.

"Why are you interested in knowing my relationship, Voren?" ask Daren for astonishment.

"Daren, did you know that your boyfriend already has a husband?" Voren asked again.

Daren covered his smile.

"Voren, I think my relationship with Velan is really none of your business" Daren replied diplomatically.

Voren put back the teapot. He took the next piece of sashimi and chewed it.

"Your relationship with your lover must have something to do with me, Daren, because your lover's husband is me" Voren said.

Instantly Daren fell silent to Voren's confession which surprised him so much.

...~...

Bamboo stems that have been filled with water spill the water into the pool. The gurgling sound of water in the garden pool sounded so clearly filled the VIP room that was so silent. A tense atmosphere was created between Voren who was clearly staring at Daren with an intimidating look.

"You're Velan's husband?" daren asked after a while stuck in silence.

Voren reviewed his smile, feeling no need to give any authentic evidence because according to Voren, Daren must have known it but the man must have been just pretending. Daren was not surprised at all by Voren's confession.

"Daren, I really don't know, what was my lack until my wife cheated me like this?! Though I have felt more than enough to give an outpouring of love and affection for her" Voren said as he continued to pick up a piece of sushi with his chopsticks.

"When my wife confessed that she had another man of her dreams, to be honest, I didn't necessarily believe her! Then I asked him to present the man right in front of my own eyes! And you also appear as the figure of my wife's other dream man," continued Voren who then chewed the sushi.

Daren remained silent and digested all of Voren's words.

"I didn't believe at first that you were my wife's other dream man! I'm sure, that you can't be my wife's other dream man! You can't betray me, Daren! But it turns out that my belief in you must bear the fruit of betrayal like this," said Voren while commenting on his smile.

"Daren, I think, it's inappropriate for a single man like you to want a married woman, especially that woman is my wife! You definitely don't want your reputation to be so bad because you have to stumble over an affair scandal! What will the board of commissioners respond if the scandal of my wife's affair with you is heard to their ears?! This will certainly make our reputation equally bad!" Voren explained at length his thoughts.

"Therefore, Daren, I hope you end your romantic relationship with my wife for our common good! I'll assume your romance is nothing more than summer love!" voren said before sipping his green tea.

Daren returned to his smile.

"Voren, do you really love your wife?" ask Daren.

"As far as you know, I love my wife so much, what she wants is what I give her! Even when my wife craves another man, I'm not mad at her! I'm a democratic husband!" Voren.

Daren gulped down her warm green tea, put the cup back on the table, then reviewed her smile on Voren.

"You're not mad at Velan, because you crave other women's love, are you, Voren?" daren said with incredible calm.

Voren felt that there was lightning striking inside his head.

"Daren, what do you mean?" Voren pretended not to understand what Daren meant.

Daren looked straight at Voren.

"Voren, I already know everything" said Daren.

"I even knew that you were going to get divorced soon, and you still hang on to your relationship like this" Daren continued.

Checkmate.

Voren seemed to be at a loss for his words.

This situation is clearly seen depicting Voren who is pointing a gun at the heart of Daren while Daren is pointing a gun at Voren's head.

"Voren, if you can't make Velan happy, you better let go! Let Velan choose his own happiness!" daren.

Voren had completely lost his appetite.

"Voren, for a second, I have to answer this phone," Daren said, showing her vibrating phone.

Daren comes out of the room to answer his phone, leaving Voren deep in his own thoughts.

At this moment Voren really felt his pride plunged freely.
