Killing Me Softly's
2
“Nothing can ruin happiness other than the loss of love itself. Loss of trust and care. We will always be like this, happy until the end. Cheers” their glasses clashed against each other followed by a smile of happiness.
Only 25 people attended this lavish event, again closed and no business colleagues. Wh why? is this tradition.
Mrs and Mr. Meyers walked hand in hand to Moeis and Lyra's desk. Of course I want to say hello to my son and daughter-in-law.
“Aah I miss you guys so much. Can we talk in the VVIP meeting room after this? Mom will say hello to the others first before they go home”
“We also missed, Papa and Mother. Congratulations once again” said Lyra.
Moeis holding the hand of Lyra, “Then we will go directly there”
“Baik”
Guided by the servants, they took the elevator to the 24th floor.
Arrive in a luxury room and feel very calm and glass big enough to see the night view of Jakarta.
Moeis's phone rang.
“Halo”
“Let's just’
“But”
“Wait for me”
After that he turned to sit on the sofa, but instead he found Lyra's gaze unsettled. The woman must have heard and thought far.
The mood turned silent. None of them spoke. But Lyra was a little nervous.
“Aa- I want to go to toilet”
‘Actually I don't want to think about that, but why am I so anxious about who contacted Moeis earlier. I'm not in love with him, but he's still my husband. Isn't it natural to feel like this? he is handsome and rich, which woman does not want to get herself’ Inner Lyra.
He rested both of his palms on the marble sink while closing his eyes. His nature does not change, always admiring and respecting the man who became his partner. So did his ex-girlfriend 3 years ago who he loved so much.
He returned and found that his mother and father-in-law had arrived.
“How are you guys related?” ask Tn. Dave Meyers's.
Lyra silently did not dare to answer, she wanted to leave everything to Moeis alone.
“We're still trying to understand each other, Pa. Not easy” he said casually.
His mother nodded, “True. But listen to Mother's words. All of this will be easy when you have a plan to have children. That's also the goal Mother requires Lyra to come home this year”
“We can't be like that, Mom. I also have to take care of a lot of things in the company. Papa will probably understand” better
“Listen to what your mom says” says Papa.
Moeis stared in disbelief at her Papa.
“M.. I still have to go back to Germany. Maybe next year can only really come back and settle in Indonesia” he is very hesitant to say it. The atmosphere was a little unpleasant, but he had to keep saying it.
“Papa can bend your vision if you do not obey us. Be a good wife and daughter-in-law, there is no more thing you can do there why want to come back?” the creepy baritone voice appeared directly piercing Lyra's heart. How dare he refute the words of his father-in-law.
Mother and Father-in-law were good people, but they were firm and deft. No wonder, they are able to lead and develop the company until now.
“Close with Ibu” Lyra stand following in the footsteps of her Mother-in-law and exit the room.
I don't know what will happen after this.
A servant came to them with a simple-looking square box. Lyra looked at her mother-in-law's face.
“Tonight you also have to drink it before going to bed. It's a condition for you to return to Germany. Mom's waiter will also be watching you”
Unexpectedly, Lyra thought about what her mother-in-law was trying to do.
“What is this, Mom?”
“Of course wine with special extras. You're gonna do it tonight, right? just do it as usual”
Now he understands. His mother wanted him to have children soon. And, do it as usual? that sounds a little crazy. How could it be, he and Moeis had never even communicated let alone done that.
No other answer, other than meng ‘iya’ right. How not, inevitably tomorrow afternoon is his flight back to Germany.
“Baik”
“It has been 2 years, and the 3rd year should be the birth of a baby” after saying that word, Her mother-in-law turned around and left.
And he just walked empty into the car.
“Save me” he said no confidence. He gave the box to Moeis.
“What is this?”
“Your mother gave it to me, as a condition for me to return to Germany. I should not have said yes” yes regret his agreement which has not 5 minutes passed.
“No need to worry we won't do it, just go like your original plan”
Lyra was silent at Moeis's remark, does that mean it doesn't matter? Then he is relieved, tomorrow he will leave without having to think of any burden.
×××
This morning was quite bright, very supportive for his departure. Both guards brought their bags and suitcases to the lobby.
“Where is Mr Moeis?”
“He has been flying to Singapore since early in the morning blind”
He smiled in disbelief. So this is the reason for letting me go without any objection. He is busy, he is busy with a lot of legacy.
2 Months have passed, they take care of their respective affairs without any communication.
But a little profitable also for Lyra who is still busy doing humanitarian activities along with the alumni Club of her college.
#Berlin, Germany.
“Abe, I brought you pasta and fruit salad” Lyra opened the lunchbox she prepared from her apartment. As usual, before leaving for the club building they always make breakfast together.
“Thanks. Then what about the answer to my question last week” her gaze tightened.
Early in the morning had heard questions like this, making Lyra lose her appetite.
“Can we finish this meal first? I almost lost my taste”
Although the atmosphere became awkward. They continue until they are finished.
“Abe. I'm married, don't ruin our friendship. I came back just to make sure you're not like this keep”
Abe refused. He didn't want that kind of answer from Lyra.
“Stop talking nonsense. Look at your ID, your graduation data doesn't even look like a married woman. You live free here, there's never been a wedding or even a visit from your husband. Then do I have to believe in your refusal?” he insisted on his words.
Naturally Abe is this angry, he has liked Lyra for many years. But this woman just wanted to be friendly with him, there was no way she could.
“I just met my husband in Indonesia. Never mind if you don't believe me, I can't possibly introduce you to that cold guy either. It's up to you to stay like this. I will leave alone” he said with annoyance.
He refused a ride from Abe. And got on the bus.
His phone keeps ringing, maybe Abe. He'll just ignore it this time.
It was almost afternoon, he wanted to check the email from his Club colleagues. But it found dozens of missed calls and messages from Moeis.
To Moeis: Why call me that much? iam busy.
Lyra bluffing. How dare Moeis do it. He could not even confirm his presence for further social activities in Africa. But the man messed up.
To Moeis: What the hell? can't do.
From Moeis: Whatever. Check out the top news from Indonesia.
What news? that important? he hurriedly did a search.
**THE SOLE SON OF THE OWNER OF BARA GROUP IS CONFIRMED TO HAVE BEEN SECRETLY MARRIED 2 YEARS AGO.
SURE THEY ARE MARRIED. MOEIS MEYERS, THE SUCCESSOR TO THE SINGLE BARA GROUP OFTEN VISITED FAMOUS ACTRESS FROM SINGAPORE, LIU CARRIE**
Bak was struck by lightning in the afternoon, news of his marriage finally revealed to the public. But what makes him more impaled is Moeis often to Singapore to visit the artist?
The man actually told her to look at the news of the affair.
I don't think her tears just fell. So he's going to the airport tonight? Well that's the best.
He also wondered how the family responded. Also a confession from Moeis. His worries happened in this way. No wonder, Moeis is already famous for often doing interviews in various magazines and television.
If Moeis is having an affair, I don't know what will happen to the fate of this unfortunate marriage.
***
The car stops right in the yard of Moeis' house, she wipes away tears and gets rid of her fragile thoughts. Now only an annoyed look remained.
“Ny. Lyra.. ..”
“Where Tn. Moeis?” ask a waiter.
“Let me inter.”
The Lyra came to a workroom with a large door that had been sealed shut. The man seemed to be waiting for him.
“There's something you want to say?” her eyes reddened. His voice also weakened.
After looking at Lyra, there were many things she thought about. Why are his eyes red? his face looks upset? and his tone of voice sounded clear that the woman was angry.
A cup of tea has been delivered. Moeis watched until the servant came out and closed the door.
“I've arranged for the media to step aside from the news. Also, our marriage has revealed there's nothing more I can do. From now on stay here and play the role of Madam. I've also talked to your parents, no more problems”
All he had arranged, especially to muffle the news of the affair he had to admit his marriage.
“So you cheated?” his question sounds inappropriate, but he still wants to hear Moeis's answer.
It feels even more upset because he acts as if he has fallen in love, but there is no love because he is just a person who feels. Since her marriage, she has convinced the principle to remember Moeis as her husband and to seek to honor him.
It seemed that Moeis was sitting looking at him with a gaze that was difficult to interpret. The answer paused for a while.
“I do meet him often, then what is the difference between me and you?” an unexpected question.
“I?”
Moeis nodded and fixed her sitting position.
“You're there close to Abe. Then I got close to Carrie. If what I did was wrong, then say it and think about what you did. We are indeed living the life of each” his voice sounds calm. Unlike the Lyra that can not stand it.
Moeis' words were simple but managed to make her want to get upbeat.
“You want to blame me for your problems too? hid me for 2 years, then admitted me to save your good name. Aren't you too bad? am I wrong?” I don't know why her tears just fell. His heart hurts.
Maybe he was also carried away upset because Moeis decided his visa just like that without any talk first. He also carries the name Abe to defend his affair.
Since breaking up with her ex-boyfriend, whether it is still felt but his emotions become unstable. He was always faithful and tried to give his best.
“You want how? I want to know” Moeis replied. Why this woman should cry in front of him.
“What is the rest of our lives going to continue like this? hostile and indifferent to each other? then I can't” her voice again weakens. Maybe his emotions overpower his own thoughts. He wants to look strong as well but is even blatant.
Moeis sighed, what a confusing situation. Looks like Lyra should really know what kind of wife she wants.
“Stop crying. You think you can whine in front of me like this? I even postponed a business meeting just to see you. Listen while I'm patient”
Lyra vented her frustration, “What?”
Moeis advanced her body and tried to speak calmly.
“Am I not your husband? Then there's nothing you should be worried about. And you should know the truth about being my wife. I just want you to do your own thing, other than just obey my orders. Try learning from my mom”
True exists. Since long ago in his family, a wife will only take care of her own affairs and the rest is to obey her husband's orders. But the thing Moeis did not say was, they would become harmonious after having offspring.
Lyra shook her head while wiping away the tears. All of this was clearly just his will. But he could not speak.
“I don't know why I'm crying. But, as you say. I'll take care of my own life. I'll be back in Germany!” he said with certainty.
Moeis just saw Lyra walking out. He kneaded his temple and leaned against a sofa. So that's the kind of wife he has to face.
Meanwhile Lyra walked in quick steps, following the waiter towards the master room.
“Mistress, this is Mr.'s room. We've sorted out the lady's things in the dressing room. Is there anything else that Madam needs?”
“Is there another room?”
The waiter fell silent and turned to his partner.
“There or not. Otherwise I'll just go out” his emotions get more unstable and make his voice weaken.
Hearing that Lyra was about to come out, the maid had better rush Lyra to the guest room at the end of the building.
“Begini better. I don't want to see him first. Let's be a dissident, I'm sure tomorrow this Lyra Purnell will be destroyed with her!” he said talk to himself.
By the way, suddenly his eyes were fixed with a large window that could be shifted out to the balcony. From outside here, it is clear how vast the building of this house is. Is she really the lady of this house? it doesn't feel like it.
‘I'm only friends with Abe, but he's having an affair. Did he use his wits to blame me. At first I really wanted to respect and be kind to you, but seeing your outrageous attitude made me unable to do that. I know we don't love each other but that's not the way to treat your wife, Mr. Moeis!’
From then on he just sat looking at the artificial lake while talking in his own mind.
#The next day.
Lyra turned her head to hear the door of her room open, and was shocked to see Moeis walking in. What the hell, he was even just wearing a Pajama towel while drying his hair in front of the dressing table.
“Why did you just walk in?”
But Moeis threw the envelope at him.
Can't this be a divorce? was Moeis mad because she whined yesterday. Not for long he immediately opened the envelope.
“You want to go back to Germany? Justdoit. All your needs are ready” he spoke while standing with a firm look.
“What?”
“Your flight is at 7pm” he said as he passed away.
This morning started off with something bad.
“Sorry Madam, Sir is waiting for you for breakfast below”
“He asked for it?” ask him to make sure.
“Iya, Mistress”
“Good. I'll get off after changing into a” outfit
Seriate...
