Marrying My Ex-Husband's Boss

Go, I'll Surrender

Mom and Nisa are treated in the same room, to make it easier to take care of both. Mother's condition is more worrisome considering he is elderly, in addition to hypertension suffered, also, the wound due to the throwing of the glass vase, quite deep. It looks like your scalp is exposed to one corner of a box-shaped vase. However, it is still better because it does not cause a concussion.

As for Nisa, she got a few stitches, due to a tear in her temple. Both are resting at this time, if it has improved both today are also allowed to go home.

The fate of man changes as soon as the weather changes. The calm afternoon with the gentle rays of the sun touching the skin, suddenly changed with heavy rain and the wind grappling with the trees. Perhaps right, choice determines destiny. At least that's what Rian thought. If only, had he not chosen to hurt Kira, perhaps his destiny would not have been like this. Sweet revenge, Ra! Think Rian.

The man, standing in front of the glass, saw his mother lying weak. His eyes are bright, as if losing light. His hands hooked behind his back, with his left hand as a pedestal. The light blue shirt with the white stripe looked tangled with some dried blood patches. He didn't get to change his clothes when he got here.

"What are you thinking, Yan?" Atmaja's father stood slightly behind his son. The two men were in a thick cloud, yet still showed kink.

Rian smiled, laughing at his life which was really funny and worthy of being a joke.

"Don't mourn what happened! Be wise to step up, boy! I think the life lessons you learned are more than enough to be a teacher. Maybe Dad's the most guilty here, but, I hope, you're not following in Dad's footsteps!" Dad stared at the empty translucent glass that was deliberately not covered by the curtain.

"You're the best Dad for me, Dad! I'm the only one stupid!" Rian flipped his body and grabbed his father's shoulder, taking him to a long chair not far from their current position.

Dad laughed, revealing a fold of skin at the corner of his lips. "How long have we not spoken like this?"

"When I got into a fight, after the final exams of High School, I thought!" Rian glanced at his father who looked radiant.

"It was a long time ago, but it felt like it was only yesterday!" Dad bent down, pitted his elbows against his knees. The ends of his hands are clinging to each other. "It should be a memorable afternoon if no rain falls."

"Well, what a pity. Though it was bright," Rian sniffed his shoulders. "Nobody knows."

"What are you gonna do?" Father turned his son, observing a face very similar to his. So this is how it feels to see ourselves as young? Thought Father Atmaja.

"Come, Dad. I thought, after nearly harming Sia and Mother, I won't be able to forgive her! I even felt like I was about to die when I saw Melisa pushing Nisa! Though if Sia is not in the move to the right of Nisa, it is certain that Sia will not survive!" Rian's countenance receded, gloomy. Rian shuddered at the thought of Sia lying on the hospital bed.

"Nisa is a good boy, patient, and always protects Sia. He loved Sia very much! So it's only natural that Sia is comfortable with him!" Said Father softly. "So?"

"After coming here, I'll teach him a lesson! He's been on his own for too long, Dad!" Rian rubbed his beard. "There's no way I'm going to divorce her."

Melisa who had been standing not far from the position that Father and Rian were in, took a step back slowly. Before turning around and taking a quick step, half ran. Until he felt safe, he just slowed his pace.

She did not cry despite her annoyance, tears were only for the weak, and it was not her. But, his heart was so furious, his hands squeezed each side of the dress he was wearing. The bead of his eyes glittered under the lights of passing vehicles.

I don't know where he's going anymore. It had not occurred to her, what she would do if she had to leave her husband's house. In fact, he was too confident, because he thought Rian would still defend it even if all the ugliness was revealed. This woman's mind was muddled, the fear she feared the most, actually meeting her in plain sight.

Rian glanced at the end of the illumination hallway, he felt like he was looking at the shadow of his wife. However, hurry on the tepis. There's no way he's getting here after what he did, Rian thought. Usually, if he was angry, he would confine himself in the room, and after being persuaded by money, he would immediately soften.

"Could he be able to change, Dad?" Rian asked when his father was confused, it seemed like Dad's mind was carrying a lot of burden.

"It's not impossible, Yan! But I think it's as hard as punching a stone with the tip of a pen! If you want, you can try it!" He said without looking at his son.

Rian was breathing rough. To be honest, she already did not have any feelings for Melisa. He just wants to right the wrongs he made on Kira, by trying to accept Melisa as she is. However, Melisa and Kira are two women who have different habits. That is, if it accepts Melisa as she is, Rian will suffer for the rest of his life.

"Go home, don't worry about Mom and Dad!" He smiled, and he knew what his son was going to do. Hopefully whatever Rian's decision, it will be a good start for them.

***

Melisa stuffed some valuables and cash into a medium-sized tote bag. Although he did not know where to go but, he had enough money to rent a contract.

"What are you doing, Mel? Where are you going?" Rian was very surprised to see Melisa packing things in a bag.

Melisa threw out a breath, "You don't pretend anymore, Mas! I know you're gonna divorce me, after all this!"

"Mel, if you want to change, I will forgive and forget everything! We'll start all over again!" Rian tried to catch the hand of Melisa who was about to reach for her bag. But Melisa rejected him harshly.

"Mas, I'm not a kid you can lie to! I'm not a baby you can easily persuade with candy! Forgive you for saying? I apologized to you earlier! Butwhat? You ignore me, Mom! You're busy with that nanny!" Melisa. Although not screaming, but clearly, Melisa is being emotional at the moment.

"Mel, you know what it was like! Come, Mel! Don't be childish, you already have Sia now! Do you want to just leave him?" Persuade Rian. Rian himself was confused, was this the right decision?

"Mas, I heard yourself saying you were going to divorce me, and after Dad wanted me to go too. Do I deserve to stay here? Mas, I'm right, Nisa is kind and considerate. Just marry her, divorce me! I like him better than me!" Melisa said as she continued to pack.

Rian gasped, so it was true that what he saw earlier was Melisa. Rian could no longer deny all that, but he did not like Melisa accusing him of liking Nisa.

"Why do you keep saying that, Mel? I don't like Nisa! I'm just responsible for him!" Rian's tone of voice rose. Annoyed is always directed by Melisa. Isn't all this because of him?

Melisa pulled the zipper bag, then stepped closer to Rian, "I'm not stupid like Kira, Mas! I know, you're obsessed with submissive, patient women like Nisa and Kira! I'm not even surprised if you've slept with Nisa!"

Rian was surprised to hear Melisa say, "MELISA! take care of what you say to your husband! That's a very serious accusation, Mel!"

Melisa pulled the corner of her lips, "If with Kira alone you can still be with me, it's not impossible also if you sleep with Nisa, while I'm still with you, Mas!"

In fact, Melisa had seen Rian several times standing in front of Nisa's room. Moreover, some time back, Rian did not touch her at all. Melisa is jealous and suspicious of Rian's concern for Nisa.

"Mel, here you should be begging me to forgive you! I'm not the one begging you! And your bullshit is too painful for me! All this time I've been patient and I've given in to you, but you've always acted at your will, even to the point of endangering your son! At first I was hoping you would change, but if it continues like this I give up on you! Go, I'll take care of Sia!" Rian was inflamed upon hearing Melisa's accusations. He was very angry, but, he wanted to end this the good way. Not for Melisa, but for her. He was wrong once, but he didn't want to repeat himself. He had tried to persuade Melisa, one thing she did not do to Kira. At that time, he was wrong. However, now, at least he was aware and convinced that he did not have any feelings for Melisa anymore.

"Good, Mas! I'm leaving, I'm not taking issue with Sia! I'm also not sure I can take care of Sia when I'm not sure how my life will be! At least Sia is a consolation for you, when your other child you can't have anymore!" Melisa held tightly to her tote bag, then without turning her head again, she came out of the room, and also the house that had been the shelter for several years.

"I swear, Mom! I will live a better life and repay my heartache to you!" Inner Melisa when going to get into a taxi in her message.

Melisa still loves Rian. However, when Rian said he was going to divorce her he felt hurt. He was thrown away, even Rian was still trying to lie to him. Maybe his suspicions were right all along.
