Eighty Six's

"Azzura, how's your relationship with Ken?"

The question of Damar Barata made me drown. How not if in fact I just decided the child is just a puppet. My fear of the man's reaction also made me think hard, what would I say to keep Ken's father from getting angry?

The chaos in my heart caused many voices to pop up inside my head. There's a regret that says I have to go back to Ken. There are also those who decide that honesty is the best thing compared to lying that can cause harm to myself.

"Nh ..."

"I heard a lot of rumors in this company .. which obviously hurt me."

Deg.

I was restless, nervous, anxious, and all that sort of feeling, because it turned out that my problems were not as simple as between me, Ken, and Reiki.

"Sorry, sir."

"Explain .. please,"

Is correct. I have to explain everything. I'm risking everything here. Whatever destiny lies before me, I am ready to live it.

"I've broken up with Kenneth, Om," I explained as the status of his son's ex-lover.

"What is your relationship with Reiki? You know who he is?"

I'm nodding. "Know, Sir. Mas Reiki is the nephew of Ken and his cousin. I had been close to him a while ago." I'd like to say what other words I can say, without causing any problems if they are mispronounced.

"So now you're back in touch with Reiki and disconnect Ken?"

Immediately I shook my head, "It's not so, sir." But now I doubt my own words. I don't know what his name is if my little heart still has a taste for that man. And again, our deeds are–

"Then what?" Damar asked again. "It's really none of my business about your romance. Free when employees want to establish relationships. The company has no rules to ban you. However, what you do involves my son who is a public figure, also my nephew who is not less famous with Kenneth. Now both of them have smeared his name because of you, Azzura."

Whahuh?

"The big families of Maheswara and Barata have even heard this news, you know? Now my wife and I have learned about your past with Reiki."

The longest sentence that Damar Barata ever said since I knew him. And his words were able to understand where he was going.

"A good decision with you broke off your relationship with Kenneth. I hope my son this time doesn't have any meaningful problems with his cousin anymore."

So anyway. I don't deserve anyone.

"Not that I don't like you, Azzura. I have no problem with any of my child's lovers, including you, if you have never had a 'relation' with our other family. Especially with grandmas from Kenneth and Reiki who don't like you."

"I understand, Sir." Very well understood.

"Really, it's a shame to hear your story with Reiki before. And how stupid Ken is to keep forcing me to want to be with you. But thank goodness you guys have really ended the relationship."

Hold on, Zura .. don't cry just yet.

"You don't misunderstand me. I don't mean to assume that my son is 'sacred' impeccably. No, it's not that. What I'm talking about here is, why you should have an affair with our other family. Because the conversation will never be lost forever. That's what I don't allow."

I who feel too despicable is not able to just look into the eyes of the man in front of me. A good man who has given me a job properly according to my education. And someone who has a very nice son.

God, I want to cry.

...--- --- ---...

I think the long sentence of om Damar is the hardest part today. But as soon as I got out of his room, a surprise greeted me.

Blasphemies, scorn, insults, even sounded clearly in my ears. Throughout the thirty-second floor the voices were still a little received. But once I entered the elevator to the fifth floor where my room was, then it felt like my breath was almost congested because it was unable to withstand the pain.

At first I didn't understand how everyone knew about my dinner with Kenneth last night. Though our room is already private enough for the public to know what happened. But the video they were talking about was the scene where Ken threw his ring box behind me. Various speculations, exaggerated stories, and of course cornered me as a woman who did not know herself. Because he had dared to reject a star like Kenneth and had an affair with his cousin who was no less famous.

Destroyed is my life. Blasphemed a lot of people without them knowing what really happened. And the most painful thing was the conclusion that I was with the predicate of a cheap girl who was after the treasures of conglomerates like Maheswara and Barata.

"Still beautify me."

"Yes clear. I still look after me."

"Geez, what kind of queen of the world did Kenneth take with Reiki Maheswara? This is how it looks? What blind are they?"

"Pake pellets as they are."

"Shaman? No, not level."

"Modelan kayak gini dare to reject Ken? Plis, the end is near."

I bowed in shame and hurried to the nearest toilet. I can't stand it anymore it feels like I want to immediately spill all the tears that I've been holding back since. Is it not enough with the pain I feel myself? Why is everyone adding to the pain?

My phone rang when I was in the toilet. And the name on the screen there is Kenneth. My feeling is that he wants to calm me down, or he wants to explain why there can be video footage like that even spread, with the title of scandal anyway.

What have I done that everyone is now insulting me?

Ah ... Yes ... of course ....

I'm the not-so-beautiful woman who's being fought over by two famous people. And the fool turned down a superstar and went viral.

Should I pick up the phone? Or didn't? But my tears have no sign of stopping. My decision is to ignore it. Because I don't want Ken to worry about me. Moreover, in this place it is certain that we will be the center of attention and can humiliate om Damar even more.

No. gabe. I'll never do it again. Humiliating about Damar? The maheswara? A barata? It won't.

The sound of the toilet door opening made me immediately wipe away the tears in a hurry. I don't want anyone to hurt me even more this bad. Because I'm sure, the blasphemy they give will not disappear in a matter of days. Maybe even forever, as a foolish girl who had rejected Kenneth and chosen his more established cousin again.

I pretended to be washing my hands in the sink with a downcast look. What else other than me trying not to be recognized by anyone who just entered it.

"ARGHH!" I shouted as I felt a shocking pull on my left elbow, forcing me to turn around.
