Instant Match

S2 - E65

Mr. Bimo, the secretary of Mr. Alren Lazaro opened the door and invited Voren to enter the workspace of the President Director of the Emperor Group. Voren immediately sat opposite a middle-aged man who often acted stiff and ice-cold.

"What brings you here, Voren?" ask Alren.

Voren did not answer his father's question. He reached into the inner pocket of his suit and pulled out something. He immediately put down a white envelope that read "Resignation" which made Alren stare intently at Voren.

Alren was flabbergasted but as much as possible the man hid his shock. Putting up a poker face was already a demand for the man.

"Why did you resign?" ask Alren.

"A must," Voren replied briefly.

"What was behind your resignation, Voren?" ask Alren again.

"Father President, didn't you ever ask me, am I fit to fill the position of President Director? And here's my answer!" voren replied firmly.

Alren heaved a heavy sigh, the middle-aged man still staring intently at Voren.

"Voren, are you sure of your decision?" ask Alren.

"I'm sure, Mr. President," Voren replied steadily.

Voren could see his father looking less satisfied with Voren's statement.

"I don't feel like I've met your expectations!  Therefore, I think, it's better for me to show you something else than to just fight over your couch" Voren replied diplomatically.

This brat, growled Alren.

Voren got up from his seat.

"All right, I'm retiring" Voren lowered his head and rushed out of his father's study.

Alren rubbed his face in a huff because he felt annoyed with his son who often behaved as he wanted to.

Daren stepped hurriedly towards Voren's study. Doni immediately invited the man to enter his superior's workspace. Daren was completely shocked to hear the news of Voren's resignation that had already spread across the Emperor Group.

"Voren, are you seriously resigning?" ask Daren.

Voren who was standing in front of his study window turned around, then walked over to Daren.

"'Doni, tie," Voren ordered.

Doni swiftly handed a tie into the hands of Mr. Voren.

"Voren, I don't think now's the right time for you to tie a tie for me" Daren refused.

"The wrong time for you to wear a tie is when you're in your pajamas, Daren!" Voren immediately draped the tie into Daren's neck and began to form a knot.

"Voren, you must be joking about your resignation!" tukas Daren's.

"Daren, I'm not one to joke around with work" Voren said as he pulled a tie knot around Daren's neck.

"Why, Voren?" ask Daren.

"I'm backing out, so you can go on to become President Director, Daren," Voren replied as he tidied the tie around Daren's neck.

"Done," said Voren.

"Yes, but why, Voren?!" ask Daren.

"It's a request from my wife, um, I mean, my ex-wife" Voren replied.

"Your love loves you so much and would like to see you become President Director for her to become Madam President Director!" continued Voren in a mocking tone.

"Voren, me and Velan don't have that kind of relationship!" daren.

"Daren, you don't have to lie like that! My ex-wife even insisted on asking for a divorce so she could be with you!" continued Voren.

"After all, in this way, I don't need to be a witness at your wedding! You can look for another witness" Voren said with a smile.

"Voren!" sergeant Daren.

Daren was upset because Voren cornered her like this. Voren obviously did it on purpose to make Daren feel guilty.

"Voren, I really have nothing to do with Velan! We met and agreed to work together! Velan wanted me to pretend to be her lover, so that her husband would immediately divorce her because he claimed he did not get happiness in his marriage!" daren.

Daren opened her necklace and handed a ring to Voren.

"'Velan gave me this ring as our deal!" Darren tried to explain.

"Daren, thank you for trying to explain to me. In the end, my wife and I are done because of you" Voren said.

"Voren, do you really blame me for your divorce?" ask Daren.

"How do you think?" Voren asked back.

Voren added his smile again.

"Daren, be careful, karma will apply to anyone who damages people's households, whether intentional or not."

Daren let out a heavy sigh, guilt clearly afflicted him.

"Daren, come on, just accept this giveaway! From the beginning, you are much more favored because of your great competence! Even by my own father!" voren toilet.

"Daren, I'm tired because all the hard work I've done so far has been completely underappreciated as I expected! Therefore I must be self-conscious of my position!" continued Voren.

Voren enters his apartment unit. He immediately headed to the sofa and sat down while looking at the seven mini aquariums containing ornamental fish pet. He took fish feed in the corner of the table and began to sprinkle a little into each mini aquarium. The brown fine grains were floating on the surface of the water and were instantly eaten voraciously by every fish. The details of the feed were exactly the same as Voren's current feeling, floating indistinctly and bobbing.

"Yes, I'll do it myself" said Voren.

"Okay, sir," said Doni.

"'You can go home now, Doni," Voren ordered.

"Okay, sir," replied Doni. "Then, excuse me," Doni immediately resigned.

Voren heaved a heavy sigh, he circulated his gaze to the apartment unit which was now completely silent. Though some time ago this apartment unit was always colored by quarrels between Voren and Velan. There was a commotion between them every time they spoke.

Voren opened his suit and tie, then placed it on the sofa. He also opened the shoes to exchange them for black fur sandals that are not currently under the sofa. Usually the slippers are already under the sofa.

Voren shook his head as he suddenly remembered his wife coming to him to bring him his sandals.

He's gone, Voren's inner self.

Voren heads to the kitchen to fetch a bottle of mineral water he did not find on the table. He opened the storage cabinet and found a box of strawberry tea. He opened it and found only two tea bags in the box.

Strawberry tea is always drunk by Velan. Voren even still vividly remembered the strawberry scent left behind as he kissed with Velan.

Who would have guessed that it was the last morning they had missed together before Velan actually left with all his belongings.

"Sir, what if we follow Miss Velan? He must be in his family's house" proposes Doni.

"Doni, I don't think it's necessary! Because it would be useless. My wife is so stubborn! I really don't want him to end up like Soraya!" exchange Voren with full bitterness.

Yes, since the Soraya tragedy, Voren really does not want to force his will anymore. He does not want to be a forced man who will actually make others hurt.

Voren immediately heats the water in an electric kettle, once it boils, he immediately brews the tea bag in the white cup that Velan always uses for tea. The smell of strawberries wafted, tickling his kiss. Voren brought the cup of tea into his study.

He plans to pack the things in the workspace. He decided to move out of his apartment unit because he had given ownership of this apartment to Velan. But the woman refused it.

Voren immediately picked up the box and began to put the items on his desk into the box. When he opened his desk drawer, he found a box containing a CD that made his heart pound.

Voren opened the saved file from the CD through his laptop. His hands were on his desk and his eyes were on the laptop screen.

The scene opens with Voren pecking himself in front of a mirror in a white tuxedo. Then she stepped towards the venue of her wedding procession. Renal's uncle and mother welcomed Voren with joy.

The next scene shows Velan looking so happy when she finished wearing a magnificent white wedding dress. Voren was stunned to see Velan's smile that looked so warm towards the camera.

Scene after scene rolling makes Voren drift as if he was watching a romantic genre film. Voren sees himself pinning a wedding ring on Velan's left ring finger. It looks like Velan is smiling so happily when pinning a wedding ring on Voren's right ring finger.

Voren holds a wedding ring that is still embedded in his ring finger, although it has been two months he and Velan officially divorced.

Voren watched again as he and Velan cut the cake together, fed each other cakes, danced, and threw a bouquet of flowers to the guests who were so enthusiastic to catch a bouquet of bridal flowers.

Voren's tears flowed without realizing it. She realizes how happy Velan looks to be with her on their wedding day. 

"My husband, please don't divorce me, I love you so much, My husband! Please give me a chance! My husband!" Velan cried while hugging Voren's legs.

Voren cried when he remembered that. He was crying because he regretted the decision he made at that time. Voren chose to let go of the wife who loved him for the sake of the woman who did not love him at all.

"I've hurt you, can't you give me a chance to treat the wound I've inflicted on you?" asked Voren while crying sobbing in front of the laptop screen which displayed the face of Velan who was smiling warmly towards him.

"Are you deliberately doing it to take revenge on me?!"

"Why are you so stubborn?!"

"Why can't you forgive me, Velan?!"

Voren can only monologue in front of his laptop screen. The guilt is so big and so painful.

If only Voren had accepted the marriage as well as he could, they would be very happy right now.

Voren imagines himself stroking the belly of the enlarged Velan due to the presence of their baby.

"Mama, is this his leg?" voren asked while stroking the bulge that appeared on the surface of Velan's stomach.

"Papa, Mama thinks this is his elbow" said Velan.

"Wow! My little one's active!" Voren cheered as he felt an active movement in Velan's stomach.

"If dielus continues like this" said Velan.

"Hurry to birth, my little one," Voren kissed Velan's stomach.

"If we're born now, our baby is premature, Papa!" luh Velan's.

"I mean Papa, born when it's time," Voren quickly gave a clarification.

"If our son is a boy, he must be as handsome as Papa, yes" Velan said.

"Hmm, gotta! If not as handsome as Papa, the time is a neighbor's child," said Voren.

"Oh, Papa!" Velan whined spoiled in Voren's arms.

Voren's cry became more and more unstoppable, casting off the man's delusion. His regret is really deep. He had lost all important things in his life just because he was wrong in making a decision.

"I love you, I love you!"

Voren said the word love that had been stuck in his throat because he did not believe that he could fall in love with Velan.

"I love you, Velan."

The man's cry broke again in his solitude.
