Love Does Not Come Too Late

Love you who don't love me

Devi was still sitting pensively in the garden behind their house, when Beni came to her, "You still want her?"

"Mmm... Who do you mean?" sahut Devi is wrong.

"Maura," Beni sat down next to Devi, enjoying the afternoon atmosphere at the end of their year.

"You yourself?.. Maura's real father .. You don't want your son to live with us?" ask Devi back.

"I want to .. very much. One time I haven't had the chance to hold her," Beni's voice trembled slightly.

"For me Maura is as important as Alexander and Jonathan .. sorry." Beni looked at his wife. Devi just nodded.

"Today have we done something wrong again?" Devi.

"They didn't get married because we wanted to take Maura, did they?" Devi looked at Beni worriedly.

"I don't care." Beni shook her head in annoyance given the embarrassing incident at the reception. At Lea and Raymond's wedding only Beni was present.

"What I'm afraid of is just ... Maura hates and doesn't want to see me anymore." Beni laughed sadly.

"We try again, this time it has to be the right way." Devi rubbed her husband's arm.

"If you mean to bring Maura here, I don't agree." Beni looked closely at his wife.

"Want to?"

"I just want my son to acknowledge and call me ... Daddyh. That's all" Beni again glared with teary eyes.

GHEA POV

I don't know where Ghea used to be, since his presence in this office I feel not the same anymore.

One of the first steps he took in this room had overturned my world.

He was close ... very close but I couldn't reach him.

I am the one who said the perfect woman, smart, beautiful, has everything .. but it is useless, because He is not in my life.

I lost to a woman who looked ordinary in my eyes, even before I had a match.

I had no intention of seizing him from his wife's side, not at all.

I am not like those who use any means to get the man they want, even by mortgaging his own body.

But that night .. just happened. No! ... He started it, he used to kiss me and then .. I replied.

I should have refused ..

I should have pushed him ...

I should have slapped him ...

But why did I hug her and let her do anything that night.

You can call me a hypocrite.

But please don't call me a man's husband's usurper, because I have no intention of seizing him from his wife's side.

His wife who handed him over to me .. for our foolishness.

Now behold, we have swallowed up the results of our deeds.

Since attending his ex-wife's wedding, he's been like a soulless body.

Maybe you think I'm happy to hear they're apart.

I was sad, scared and feeling guilty. After officially separating, he came to me asking what he should do for me.

That question slapped me.

I do love her.

I really want it.

But this is not what I want.

I refused it at the time. I showed her I was okay, and there was no need for mercy.

Let it go as it is, that's what I tell him. If indeed later we are fooled, surely all there is a way.

This afternoon as usual he still remained in his chair, not caring about the invitation from other friends who intended to entertain him.

Our friends no one knew about our closeness .. except Nina of course, who they knew she was separated because there was a mismatch.

"Still long Rik?" I asked, after only staying the two of us in the room.

"Oww, eeh .. have you not returned?" He even asked back.

"You're coming home .. Would you like to have a chat first maybe?" I don't know why I offered him to come out together.

He looked stunned at me, a moment later he cleaned up his drawing equipment.

"Get my bike or ..." he was worried when he was in the parking lot.

"Each vehicle," I broke up. It was much better not to invite the curiosity of others.

A widower walking alone with a single woman, knows what I mean.

"How are you doing?" ask me after we order something.

"Good." He smiled forcedly.

"I'm sorry I couldn't be with you last week."

"Well, I should have come alone."

"Lea .. seemed happy," he continued, he began to laugh bitterly. It hurts to see him like that too.

"Sorry." That's all I can say.

"For?"

"Some, but I think I should say sorry." I don't know what my apology is for and who.

Because I am guilty, separate them because I am among them.

I who subconsciously forced my way into the life of the man who ... didn't love me.

Yeah, this guy in front of me doesn't love me. Clearly visible from the look in his eyes when he looked at his ex-wife first.

"You alone?" suddenly he shifted his question.

"Sama, I'm fine."

We were silent and pondering, then laughing together. Laughing the same fate, loving the one who does not love us.

The rest of us spent time just chatting casually, without mentioning each other's feelings.

If you ask, why not demand responsibility?, that man has snatched away your most precious treasure.

For me, it's much better to see our loved ones living happily by our side than to live together under one roof but to see them depressed.

"When are they here?" raymond asked where Leah was going.

"Until next year."

"Huh?" Raymond's eyes grew.

"Yes, tomorrow is the new year. Brother why the hell since marriage so a bit slow think."

"Yes, because what's in your mind is that you're not important." Raymond began to approach wanting to hug and launch his seduction attack.

"So I don't really matter to Pi?" sela William's.

Raymond and Lea were surprised to hear William interject, as they were sure it was just the two of them in the room.

Where did this child come from, Raymond's inner.

"William is obviously important dong, meaning Papi was also much more important than Om Lukman, Om Gilang, Aunt Kinanti and Aunt Nina." Lea took over the attention of William who had already looked at them suspiciously.

"What are you here for?" ask Raymond.

"You're taking a nap."

"And we have an agreement, have you forgotten?"

"Remember" said William sure.

"What agreement?" Lea approached inquisitively.

"A covenant between father and son, ordinary ... fellow man isn't Willi?" raymond asked for support from his son.

"Ow," Lea was bearded and walked out of the room.

"Where are you going?" Raymond held his hand.

"You go to the kitchen, help Mama. Nina Sama Kinanti is already downstairs first."

"Bobok noon first yuk, I sleepy," whispered Raymond softly afraid to hear William.

"Abang if you want to sleep first, then I will follow ya. Just a moment in the kitchen, but sleep in his own room dong not in William's room" chirped Lea as he passed out of the room.

"Eh?" Raymond circulated his gaze, only then did he realize this room was not their room but his son's room.

It is fitting that William was inside without feeling guilty, apparently his focus from earlier was just following the steps of his wife.

True it seems like Lea said earlier, something is wrong with her since marriage.

It looks like he has to consult with Lukman.
