Marrying My Ex-Husband's Boss

Complicated

Who would have thought, the silence of a person is the beginning of a catastrophe.

Rian was pensive in front of the room where Melisa was. Regret always comes too late, but lamenting it will not change it for the better.

It has been a few days since his return from the hospital. The content of Rian's days from then on was the grievance of Melisa and her mother.

Today the black sky ruled the sky, blocking the light, and preparing to send a flash of lightning. The water began to drop drop drop by drop, small and fragile, yet it had already left a puddle on the ground.

Rian, hearing the radio drama from behind the room, where the three people who had their own place in his heart, were arguing fiercely.

"Mel, where is the money for Kira?" said Riana softly, but still Rian could hear it clearly.

"Don't ask me, Mas Rian hasn't given it to me yet" Melisa replied.

"Don't lie, it's been a few days, surely she's been waiting, I could have gotten hit by that woman" Riana started playing the drama. The door of the room that was not closed was perfect, making Rian freely look inside. Although without looking, Rian could imagine Riana's expression acting plain.

"Ri, you know, I'm in the hospital, and I'm not holding the money right now, you can ask your brother, and tell him that Kira always bullies you. Let your sister know, her ex-wife is not as good as she looks," Melisa faces Riana in fear. Mother since then just crossed eyes at the child and his daughter-in-law.

"I'm brave, I could have been killed by Brother, yesterday alone, I was dragged out of the place where Kira Ma'am worked. You know, sister can't forget her," Riana put a face of compassion in front of Melisa.

"Don't say that, I hate him, he's just the past, doesn't mean anything more to Mas Rian," Melisa yelled, starting to be lured by Riana's remark.

"But Mel, Big Brother is protecting her, even if it wasn't for me, you definitely wouldn't know where she is."

"Mel, I'm doing this so that Sister Kira doesn't constantly appear to interfere with your life, so that you can calmly live your life," Riana stroked Melisa's arm to reassure her.

"Yes, I understand, but Mas Rian hasn't given me any money, and they've met, maybe he's given it straight away, and I've been in the hospital for a few days, anyway" Melisa lowered her voice, but he did not leave his anger.

"OK, you ask as soon as possible, give it to me later," Riana smiled, then looked at her mother gesturing to leave.

Melisa was still nailing on the spot, the mix of anger and disappointment was always a weakness in her. I was upset because I could do nothing.

Rian pretended to have just arrived when he crossed paths with Riana and Mother. They have changed their masks, and Rian has.

Rian walked into the room, glancing at Melisa. This stupid woman, where did that smart woman go. Wasn't he good at fooling Kira, fooling Kira. Why is he so stupid now.

Melisa doesn't realize one thing, what she did to Kira, is happening to her. In the past, Melisa was good friends with Kira, like a brother. But, Melisa subtly took her husband with deceit. Now, Melisa thinks Riana is her family, supporting her, but now Melisa is being tricked by her own sister-in-law.

"Mas, what money for the children have you given yet? It's past the date" said Melisa softly behind her husband. Hugging her husband's flat stomach.

"I'll give it straight," Rian gently rubbed the hand that was coiled around his stomach.

Rian looked at his daughter's face, so beautiful. Rian sighed, as if in a dark cloudy black as the sky outside. He did not know what to do to face his family who stabbed each other in the arms.

All problems start with him and he has to end them. But it won't all be easy. He doesn't know where to start.

Melisa took off her embrace, and sat down on the side of the bed. His hands squeezed each other, his lips tightly clenched once in a while he bit the inside of his lips.

"Let Riana give it to you, Mas. As usual," Melisa tried to smile.

"No. I'm the only one who gives, I want to see her sisters," Rian carried her baby who moved her head to the right and left. Looks like she's thirsty. Rian smiled happily at his daughter.

"You miss her Mama, don't you?" Melisa stood up, staring intently at Rian.

"I miss my kids, Mel. Where'd you get that kind of thinking?" Rian put the baby back. And face Melisa. The ragged face filled with anger, staring intently at Melisa.

"I know everything, Mom. I can feel Mas, she is more beautiful now, let alone your gaze on her is still the same as before. Even I have never treated you like that" cried Melisa. Like a broken dam, Melisa spills everything that bothers her. Melisa was crying, her heart was hurting.

"Yes, you're right. I still love him, just like I used to, never changed. I didn't realize that until he left me. And all because of you, you are the one who wanted us to part ways so badly. Am I right?" Rian did not raise his voice, but it was very painful for Melisa.

"All I do is because I love you, Mom. I want only me to have you. I want your eyes to be on me. I hate it when you adore me but your eyes and heart are on him. I hate him so much, with all my heart." Melisa's voice was filled with excessive emotion. Hatred controlled him, thus making his body tremble.

"You're greedy, Mel. You're selfish," 

"Yes, Mas. I'm greedy and selfish because of you and because of him. You don't see how much love I give you, what I sacrifice for you. You and the love I never got that made me this way," Melisa pointed at Rian's face, with all the anger and hatred accumulated.

Rian was unable to speak. Right, he's the asshole here. Playing two women. The woman he loves and the woman who satisfies his lust.

Rian looked at the woman who was standing, behind the table. Is it true, women who are not yours are always more beautiful? Rian smiled, as if he was looking at his heart lover. A feeling that never left his heart, all this time. And he just realized, after he's not his anymore.

Kira's gaze was fixed on Rian who was standing next to his car. Heedless of the rain that soaked his body. Kira sighed, almost every day, Kira saw Rian standing there. It was also what made her receive punishment from her husband. Can he block someone's view of him? In the law because someone stared at him for too long. Although the punishment was just staring at the smooth back without a stain and rubbing as he pleased. Sweet punishment, even Kira wants to make mistakes every day.

Now they are sitting on the front bench of the cafe, although not many visitors when it rains like this, but, Kira does not want to be the center of attention because of the commotion he makes. Kira knows, it will all end in disagreement between the two of them.

"What else now?," Kira has always been the opening of this complicated discussion.

"Ra, do you remember when we parted?," Rian glared distant, empty, and weak.

"Why? I don't want to remember" replied Kira Ketus.

"In the meantime, I've been so tormented by missing you and the kids."

"You already have Melisa, and now you have your son" Kira said flatly. Tired of having to say that in an outpouring of emotions.

"I don't really want it, I just want you," Rian turned his head so that now his eyes were fixed on the beautiful and seductive woman next to him.

"You're very selfish, Mas. You hurt me and Melisa. Stop whining at me. I'm not going back to you. I love other people, Mommy."

"I know you, Ra. You still love me. You just want me to give up, you want me to stay away from you, don't you?,"

"You're overconfident, Mas. I've long since abandoned my feelings for you. I've closed the story with you, "Steadily saying that phrase. There is no doubt there.

Rian stared at the water standing in front of him. He realized one more thing, this woman next to him, was not the weak woman he used to know.

"Is there really no place for me anymore?" muttered Rian.

"True, there's no more. And there will never be again" said Kira firmly.

"alright. But Ra, in my heart you always have a place, never to be changed," Rian smiled, a stupid smile, a smile of defeat. But his words are not a defeat, nor a foolishness, it is a sincerity. He must feel the pain Kira felt. The sincerity and sacrifice that Kira made, was not comparable to the pain that Rian felt now.

Kira pulled the corner of her lips, at least, Rian knew the word stop or give up.

"Ra, live well, I will support your life and children, a living that never reaches you, I will change everything. Sorry, I've made you suffer."

"No need, Mom. I'll try to live my own life. You are the one who must live well, we already have our own lines, you should not change the course of life as you like. Let it all be like this, we're happy,"

"One more thing," Rian's words stopped Kira from leaving Rian.

"Let me meet the kids, after all they're my kids, too. Don't mess with their minds, Ra."

"Dissirious? I think you're the one who messed up, Mas," Kira turned around again.

"His mood, time hasn't made you think, do you realize how long they've been without you? Ever since they knew the world, they've gotten used to it without you. Just count, Excel age, or Twins age. All that time anyway, you're just a pseudo-shadow of a father. You exist, but they can't touch you."

"I am not a cruel mother, poisoning my son's mind with hatred, but you alone sow the seeds of hatred in their hearts, I never told them to forget you, she said, but you're the one who let them forget that they still have a father."

Kira sighed, the burden had been lifted, the noose had already loosened. Only the marks are still there, and it hurts.

Rian was getting worse, and Kira was getting more upright looking at the future. Tackling the dark past, filled with black clouds. The sky is now clear and calm. But that does not mean the sky is calm, it will not trigger a storm. Only time knows when the storm will hit.
