6 Hours less.
Layya made sure once again that afternoon to see a small watch on her wrist.
Layya hastened her way into a cafe across the street from the company where she works. kak alex said the cafe is owned by his friend so it is natural that this hour has not closed because brother alex may be.
"layya here! ". call someone who is in the corner of the room next to him there is a glass wall.
Layya approached there with a little step he accelerated because the time is almost maghrib. he hoped it will not be long.
"sister alex has ordered? ". asked layya when she saw a milkshake in front of alex and had been sucked in half.
Alex laughed heartily.
"let's layya, there's no way I'm waiting for you without ordering anything, I can be kicked out". joked alex then laughed.
Layya put her side bag to the chair next to her and sat her butt in the chair one more face to face with alex.
"want to drink what? let me have a message". asked Alex to hand over the menu book to Layya.
"no need to order, will I be kicked out?! ". canda layya.
"ha ha ha". alex laughs ngakak.
"we could have thought of my order for the table rental". the two laughed again but a small laughter layered.
"i'll just order some water"
"diet uh...?".
"i have to keep my stomach for dinner at home".
Alex nodded in understanding but the jail made layya laugh again.
In the past, he was not this close to Alex's brother. only occasionally they spoke even if passing by or something in the same message rayyan brother alex to convey to him.
Alex returned to his seat after bringing water in a tray for layya.
Tak...
"happy to enjoy". said Alex with a smile.
Yes, yes admit brother alex including a handsome man although not as handsome as rendra and.rayyan.
Alex's sister who always used to wear glasses, blonde hair split middle and pale white like the Korean actors but brother alex is not Korean but native to Australia. that's what he knew first from Rayyan.
"euhmmm..". layya wanted to open her voice but was silent when alex saw her.
"of course you want to ask me what I want to talk about, right?..and what, that's important".
Layya smiled faintly assenting.
"that's...".
Layya blinked her eyes waiting.
Alex took a breath.
"just do! I guess it doesn't matter right away, does it? ".
Layya nodded in agreement again, isn't that what matters.
"first I'm sorry if I mention it again.". alex tilts his head with his next words because he feels it might hurt layya again.
"oh.it's okay! I'm fine already". said layya after knowing what the intention of alex's reluctance.
Alex opened his mouth understanding then nodded.
"this layya?.. do you know?.. the cause of...you...divorced...?!". alex stared at the look on the face of layya, who seemed to have gasped.
Although Layya said she was fine, but if it was revealed again, of course, it would cause her to recall and feel sliced, of course, there.
Layya gave a small laugh after a few seconds of silence and made Alex confused.
"is there a..funny?! ". ask Alex feeling stupid and confused.
"sister alex how is sich...? kan brother alex who knows the answer better!". said layya before drinking a little water.
Alex blinked his eyes, but...
"no! I mean..besides that.what...you guys.have a fight or...".
Alex was silent as both of his beads looked at Layya.
"but somehow I feel that Rayyan is being betrayed".
Layya flinched with a spontaneous speech coming out of alex's mouth.
The confused Layya blinked looking to the side not understanding.
"what does alex mean? why does it sound like I betrayed Rayyan? it is clearly rayyan...".
Alex nodded in understanding.
"i know Layya, that's why I'm sorry and that's why I asked to talk to you for a minute".
Layya is getting confused about what Alex means.
"i don't understand, anyways.it's already past too".
Alex nodded steadily.
"you're right, it's over but do you know layya? a wound if we keep how long it will stay fresh".
Layya fused her brows.
"i mean brother alex...I hurt rayyan? ".
"that's what I want to ask! ".
Layya frowned not understanding.
Alex took a breath.
"this layya? I believe and I'm 100% sure that you didn't hurt or betray Rayyan, but...is there anything in the past that made Rayyan misunderstand her to feel betrayed by you?! ".
Layya fused her brows.
"maybe this doesn't matter to you but..it's important to me layya?.. you know...I've almost gone crazy these few days and..Thank I met you, please help me". alex begged sincerely to layya. because he was almost really going crazy to see the attitude and nature of rayyan late this. he was like his biological brother who worried about him excessively...
Alex is tired.
Layya blinked several times trying to think of Alex's words but none entered her brain.
"i really don't understand what Alex meant, because here it's clear Rayyan hurt me and then Alex said it was like I hurt her, I don't understand". layya shook her head not understanding the intent of the white man before her.
Alex took a breath.
"let's see,..euhmmm..when you were together I mean when you were still in the marriage bond are you still close to rendra? ".
Layya nodded alex's question. he did not need to ask how kak alex knew rendra because as a manager a famous model at that time rendra was also certainly known kak alex because at that time the rendra profession was also a model. Even rendra's parents have model agencies and various media companies until now.
"and rayyan knows that? ". alex asked a little surprised.
"didn't Alex know too? even before I knew Rayyan I was close to rendra! ".
Alex sighed tiredly.it seemed that Layya did not understand her point.
"i mean that..you're married to Rayyan yet you keep in touch with rendra? and rayyan knows? ".
Layya let out a tired sigh while leaning her back to the back.
"i don't think that's alex's problem? because Rayyan doesn't love me, does she? and yes..I'm still in touch with rendra but it's only limited to rendra and me, can you say friend? although rendra was older because of that time.hatiku has moved to rayyan and rayyan knows it".
Alex sontak.
"you mean Rayyan knows you're still close to rendra or...".
"two and I think he did not mind at that time and now I know the answer.he does not love me certainly does not matter to him, I used to stay away from rendra afraid rayyan jealous or angry then...I talked some time and he didn't make a big deal of it, so I don't think it's because of that and it has nothing to do with rendra".
Alex was speechless staring at Layya with various thoughts in his brain.
Yes if it is true layya? but how...if all that...wrong?.
"go layya? I think there's something weird about this, especially with that temperamental guy".
Layya blinked her eyes listening.
"ah... what... lately you feel that the man's behavior is strange?. ..either the behavior or...his words to you" .
Layya again flinched, let alone recalling their last meeting.
