Maura: The New Year Tragedy

You are Happy

At the moment Mutia is also Alex is in the roof top. They sat with a distance and there was also awkwardness between the two. Mutia just silently flinched in her place, waiting for Alex to speak. After signing the handover letter, Alex asked Rendy for permission to talk to Mutia for a while. But Rendy did not allow it because he only spoke alone without himself or a third person.

"I said no yes no. If you want to talk here." Rendy tightened her hand on Mutia.

"Just for a moment, it won't be long" Alex said with a look at Mutia who was completely unwilling to look at him.

"Here or not at all." stressed Rendy who did not like Alex's gaze on Mutia.

"Rin! He's just gonna apologize, let it go." Rendy turned her head quickly to look at Mutia when she heard the whisper from his wife.

"You want what happened the other day to happen again?"

"I don't agree with that." replied Rendy in a whisper as well. She was so angry with Mutia that she agreed to talk to Alex together.

Mutia smiled and rubbed the arm of Rendy who was holding her hand tightly. "I'm in a conscious state right now. And remember, I've mastered martial arts. Isn't that Mr Alex can't defend himself?"

Rendy stared at Mutia intensely. What Mutia said has a point. His wife had mastered martial arts, while Alex was just the basics and it was never trained again.

"But remember, do not accept any food or drink that the bereng bek gave me." Rendy's message to the wife and finally she agreed Mutia spoke alone with Alex. Fifteen minutes, Rendy gave Alex fifteen minutes to talk to Mutia.

Alex chuckles remembering Rendy earlier who looks heavy to take off Mutia alone with herself. "It turns out the stiff can be as possessive as that. Eleven twelve with Bryan." murmured Alex.

Mutia glared at Alex at a glance and turned her gaze forward staring back at the roofs of the skyscrapers. He knows who Alex is, who else if not Rendy. Rendy who is usually flat and stiff also does not feel, now looks like a man in general who is possessive in his partner.

"So, Rendy is Yudha to be betrothed to you?"

"It's worth it Rendy always haunts me whenever I'm close to you" said Alex, who has been scraping information about Rendy from Bara, whose people love to let go every time he talks.

Mutia simply cleared her throat and nodded lightly in response to Alex's words. He didn't dare say much to Alex. He is still angry and wary of Alex, given the events that happened some time ago because of Alex.

"Are you going to accept the match if it turns out that Yudha is not Rendy?" Alex looked at Mutia who had not been looking at him.

Mutia stared at Alex at a glance which turned out that the man was also staring at her. "Yes, I still accepted the match. If not, I'll choose Rendy."

"Why? Is it because Rendy is so much more handsome?"

"I'm also much more handsome than Rendy."

"I'm also much richer than Rendy. Although not as rich as Bryan."

Mutia's forehead shriveled at Alex's question that seemed to mock her picky self and liked the same handsome man. And what did Alex say? He's a lot better looking than Rendy? "Yes you are handsome too, but your playboy behavior also makes your good looks less." Mutia recalled Alex's behavior.

"But Rendy is much better and appreciates women more than you."

"And Rendy was in my heart before I decided to ask you to pretend to be my fake lover." Mutia tried not to get emotional. He kept trying to calm down. He doesn't want to be hooked by Alex's words.

"If Rendy was in your heart before, why did you ask me to be your pretend boyfriend?" Alex raised his eyebrows to look at Mutia.

Mutia glanced at Alex, she herself was also confused why she had not directly asked Rendy for help rather than Alex who actually brought disaster for her.

But at that time he was still doubtful to Rendy, he was afraid that the attention that Rendy gave to him was only limited because he was also a friend of Freya.

Alex grinned when he could not get a reply from Mutia. He also realized that Mutia from the beginning only asked for her help, not having more feelings for him. "Maybe it's just me who's too hopeful that Mutia can be subdued and can be my whole possession." Alex's inner self who feels comfortable after being close to Mutia.

"That's it. I didn't bring you here to talk about that."

"And it's been fifteen minutes."

"I'm afraid he will go to the hospital again because he was beaten up by Rendy" Alex said with a chuckle remembering the tempramen Rendy when he beat him a few days ago.

Mutia looked at her watch and it was true that she had left Rendy alone with Bara for fifteen minutes. He stood up from his seat and intended to return before Rendy came and made a fuss.

"I'm sorry." Alex said softly

Mutia looked at Alex who was bowing her head, like a person who was truly in remorse.

"I'm sorry I almost set you up."

"I was really scared of losing you."

Mutia frowned hearing Alex's confession. It's not that he doesn't understand what Alex's saying. He understood, it was just that he didn't believe Alex could say that to a woman. Especially her who is far from the women Alex has dated.

"What do you mean you're afraid of losing?"

"Can't you fall in love with me who's not your ideal woman?" Mutia is so curious, what makes Alex can be afraid of losing herself and falling in love with her.

Alex chuckled and looked at Mutia who was standing not far away from him. He stared at Mutia intensely.

"I'm not saying I'm in love with you."

"I'm just saying that I'm afraid of losing you."

Mutia closed her eyes for a moment, "Stupid." mutia said in a heart so piqued that Alex fell in love with her.

"I'm just wondering about you."

"What Rendy saw until she bet to get you."

"Because as far as I know, Rendy was never close to a woman again after her former lover left her for another man."

"He didn't choose you because you were the woman he had been betrothed to since childhood right?"

Mutia flinched hearing Alex's words. The movement of his eyeballs showed fear. Afraid that what Alex said was true, if Rendy chose him because he had been betrothed to her since childhood. And the matter of Rendy who has never been close to any woman, really makes his heart suddenly worry for itself.

"Kc..Just said it just looks worried."

"It's not true you're with Rendy."

"Don't you love Rendy?" Alex stood up from his seat and walked over to Mutia.

"I love Rendy."

"And I believe that Rendy is in love with me."

"She likes me." cried Mutia who somehow did not like the words of Alex who said that she did not sincerely love Rendy.

Alex laughed and patted Mutia softly on the shoulder. "I know you like Rendy, like Rendy likes you."

Alex stared at Mutia intensely, "Blessed by your marriage, and forgive me for my behavior yesterday."

Mutia returned Alex's gaze that looked so different from what she usually saw. His gaze was so sincere and there was a wound within that gaze.

"A-lex." i..." Mutia stuttered to herself, she was confused as to what to ask.

Alex smiled faintly, "You forgive me right?"

Mutia spontaneously nodded at Alex's sincere apology.

Alex kisses Mutia's forehead making Mutia reflexively push Alex away. He was afraid that someone would see him and it was the wrong thing. Though Alex knows that he and Rendy have become a couple today.

Alex laughed again to hide his wound. Not the wound from Rendy's bogeman scar, but the wound in her heart.

"It's usual Miss."

"I just wanted to thank you for forgiving me."

"But it's not like that either." mutia murmured with a fierce look at Alex.

"Yes sorry."

"Thank you for forgiving me."

"May your marriage always be peaceful and happy."

"I'm sorry I couldn't make it to your wedding" Alex said, still smiling with a faint smile.

"Why not come?" asked Mutia who was so curious to see the change in the look of Alex's face that was not as usual. At the moment Alex looks sad even though his lips insist to keep smiling.

"I'm leaving the country tomorrow."

"I want to travel the world for fun before I get a woman like you."

"Why are you going?"

"And why should it be like me?"

The two were still staring at each other. One stared curiously and the other stared deeply into wounds.

Alex smiles and shuffles Mutia's hair to relieve her awkwardness and heartache. "It's okay, I left because I wanted to."

Alex looked at his watch and it had been almost half an hour they had been talking. "A long time ago, I left. Take care of yourself."

After saying goodbye, Alex just left before Mutia. He was so sick when he fell in love, but the woman he loved did not take a glance at him at all and just thought of him as a pretend girlfriend and it was over since he was so presumptuous to make an action beyond limits.

"Alex wait!!"

Bughhhh

Mutia bumped Alex's body from behind and hugged the man's body from behind.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry for not being able to repay your love."

Alex smiled wryly at Mutia's words. She saw Mutia's hand coiling around her stomach. She knew, until whenever Mutia would not be able to repay her love. Only he is wrong, falling in love with a woman who already has another man in her heart.

"No need to apologize." Alex took off Mutia's hand hug from her stomach.

"Repace back."

"I'm sure Rendy has now pulled out her fangs until you don't come back either." Alex added with a characteristic laugh.

"But you..." Mutia was feeling really guilty right now. He played with his feelings for Alex and he hurt Alex.

"I'm fine."

"Quick down and back."

"I don't want my good-looking face to be broken anymore because of Rendy." Alex half pushed softly Mutia to immediately get off the roof top.

Mutia finally left and got off the roof top. But before going back into the building, Mutia looked at Alex who was still unmoved in his place by turning her back.

"Alex!!!"

Alex looked back at Mutia's screams.

"Thank you."

"You deserve to be happy too."

Alex gave a small smile and raised both of his thumbs in response to Mutia's words.

"See you." Mutia waved her hand at Alex and rushed down from the roof top to return to Rendy's room before Rendy's tempramen exploded because it had been left for a long time, not according to the time Rendy had set, fifteen minutes.

"You deserve to be happy." murmured Alex repeated Mutia's words.

"Yes..You deserve to be happy, Alexander."

Hufftttt

"Let go now."

"Let me quickly find my own happiness."

"EUROPE!!! I'm cooming!!!"
