“do you know Angga before?” once again Edwin asked Viviane the same question because Viviane had been silent.
“ini it's noon you know mas, let's hunt we leave” instead of answering Edwin's question, Viviane just avoid that question.
“the more you divert my question, the clearer the answer is if you have ever known Angga before. Say!!” edwin said with a rising voice.
Viviane flinched when she heard Edwin speak in a raised voice. Though the man who is currently sitting next to him always says softly to the person he loves. But why did Edwin suddenly change like this. And what would happen if Viviane told the truth. Without feeling the tears Viviane had flowed from her eyes. Edwin who noticed his words earlier rubbed his face rough. She was carried away with emotion because Viviane never answered her question.
“alah. Lupainic. I'm sorry” said Edwin later.
“iya I did know Angga before” Viviane replied suddenly when Edwin was going to run his car. Edwin did not run his car.
“where?”
“are you sure you want to hear my answer?” Viviane asked with a cynical smile.
“what do you mean?”
“you just yelled at me because I never answered your question. And once you know the answer later will you do more than yell at me?”
Edwin felt guilty. She had unknowingly yelled at Viviane.
“sayang sorry I. I promise not to repeat it again. I'm ready to hear any of your answers. I won't upset”
“Angga is a person of my past. He's the son of Wijay”
Deg
“Angga is my ex-lover. Satisfied with my answer? Now what are you gonna do? I'm back to my past. Right in this city as well.a city that has inflicted many wounds on my heart. And now I meet him again” Viviane replied with tears.
Edwin immediately grabbed Viviane's body into his arms. She did not expect that Angga was Viviane's ex-lover. It was only fitting that Viviane's countenance changed when she met Angga. It was indeed difficult for Viviane to remember her bitter past. Edwin promises in himself to protect Viviane from Angga. He did not want the woman he loved to look sad. Edwin also would not let Angga do anything to Viviane.
“forgive me dear. You calm down. You don't worry. I will always take care of you. I will always be by your side. I will not let you grieve anymore just remembering your past on Angga”, said Edwin to calm his lover.
Viviane immediately broke away from Edwin's embrace. He did not expect the response given by Edwin after knowing the fact that Angga was his former lover. He thought Edwin would be angry. But apparently not. Edwin calmed him down.
“you're not angry mas?”
“do you want me to get angry?” Edwin asked Viviane back with a smile. Then he drove his car to the office.
“ihh... Like ya angririn me?” viviane replied with a frown
“do what the hell darling I'm angry. But Anga is your past. And your loved ones now as well as your future are the ones who are currently sitting next to you” Edwin replied at length.
Viviane simply smiled in response to Edwin's words. He was very happy to meet a man like Edwin who had a big heart that was able to forgive and accept someone's past even so bitter.
Moments later the car that Edwin was driving had reached the office.he immediately got out of the car and walked towards his room followed by Viviane from behind.
A few employees who accidentally cross paths with Edwin nodded their heads respectfully. But usually the employees, especially female employees, only bow to the boss, but not this time. They also bowed their respect to Viviane. Even Viviane was also surprised why Edwin employees also bowed respectfully to her. He was just a secretary. Equally employees.
Arriving at her study, Viviane immediately sat down. But Edwinb stood in front of Viviane.
“iya sir?”
“you misview maybe sir. Sorry I'm going to check some files. Happy working tuan”
Edwin finally stepped towards his desk. He was a little annoyed by Viviane's reply. While Viviane deliberately did not say what actually happened to some of Edwin's employees. Viviane didn't want Edwin to know that a few days ago she had gotten bullies from her employees. Viviane did not want the employees who had bullied her to be fired by Edwin. Although Viviane already said that she was the future wife of her boss.
***
Today, Laura came to Angga's office. He wanted to take Angga to lunch. He will seek compensation for Angga for leaving him last night while having dinner with Edwin and Viviane. Although Laura knew of Angga's answer that never pleased her, but she would not give up trying to take Angga's heart.
“maaf mbak, Angga mas is there?” Laura asked Angga's secretary
“sorry miss, Mr. Angga is meeting”
“how long is the meeting?”
“maybe not miss”
“ya already so I wait for Angga mas in the room just”
Secretary Angga just nodded his head while smiling at Laura. She thinks Laura is the lover of her boss, so she lets Laura just walk into the room.
Laura is now sitting on the sofa in Angga's office. Laura sat down while observing Angga's workspace which was so spacious with its dominant interior color in black and gray. Viviane walked towards the window that could show a direct view of the city of J from the multi-storey building that she had been building at this time.
Laura sat down on the sofa she was sitting on. But accidentally his gaze leads to Angga's work desk. There is a small figura but the position is reversed so that there is no visible photo of who is in the figura. Out of curiosity, Laura touched the figura and wanted to see the photo behind it. When Laura's hand had managed to lift it and just turned it over suddenly as the door of the room opened.
“what are you doing??” Ask Angga in a high voice
Instantly Laura accidentally dropped the figura on the floor in surprise.
Pyarrr
“quickly get out of my room!” drive Angga away in a slow but sharp voice
“sorry I am Angga” replied Laura with teary eyes. Just this time he saw Angga's anger just because of a photo.
“you know the way out right?”
Without saying a word Laura rushed out of Angga's room. He did not want to see Angga's anger growing more and more terrifying.
After finishing the meeting, Angga immediately entered his room. But his secretary stopped Angga's footsteps and said that Laura was waiting for him inside. Angga recalled, just before the meeting he had taken a photo of Viviane from inside his drawer and Angga forgot to return it. Without answering his secretary, Angga quickly entered his room. And it's true that Laura is holding a picture of Viviane. And it was fortunate that he had quickly entered, so Laura did not have time to see a photo of who was inside the figura. Now Angga is picking up pieces of glass from a broken figura.
“Vi, forgive me dear.” said Angga lirih
