Ravin was still tightly hugging Els who was asleep in her chest. The pregnant woman wept bitterly remembering the candidate of her baby who was gone to exhaustion and fell asleep in the warm embrace of her husband.
"I promise I won't make you feel pain or alone" whispered Ravin in Els' ear. The man was a little sorry for bringing up Els' past that hurt her and made her cry, but there was a sense of relief to be able to better understand and understand her future wife.
"Dad" Ciara just woke up, the little girl standing in the doorway rubbing her eyes.
"Dear dear" Ravin waved his left hand, as his right hand he used to hug Els.
"Sleeping?" Ciara sat on the left side of Ravin.
"Yes, Mother is also sleepy like Ciara" he said.
"Look, he's moving" said Ciara, seeing a kick in the moon Els' stomach.
"He wants to say hello to his Big Brother" Ravin gently rubbed Ciara's head.
"Is he a man?" ask Ciara.
"Don't you know, Cia wants a little brother?"
"Yes, Cia wants a little brother"
"How about her sister?" Ravin.
"Why don't you make a little brother?"
"That's...."
"You should make a little brother, why a little sister?" the little girl was shaking her lips.
"God please save me this time, arguing with women even children is very draining" Ravin's inner self asked for help.
"Darling, I mean. We can't decide whether to have a younger brother or sister" Ravin said softly.
"You mean you can't make a little brother?" ciara asked innocently, but sliced through Ravin's heart.
"Cia wants to ask Mommy alone, to make a little brother" the girl folded her hands on her chest and her lips pursed sharply.
"What" cried Ravin reflex, to make Els wake up.
"Sorry dear, what an accident" regretted Ravin rubbed Els' shoulders.
"Cia why dear" Els ignored Ravin and instead focused on seeing Ciara who seemed to be sulking.
"Mother, Cia wants to be made a little brother" he asked innocently.
"Huh?" confused Els did not understand Ciara's words.
"We'd better go home now, because it's almost afternoon" Ravin said.
Ravin held Ciara and clasped Els' hand walking out of his office, in front of the reception desk a man observed Els walking side by side with Ravin. Mismatched couples, happy families visible from the look of the face of the three.
"Why does that guy keep looking at us?" said Ravin, Els followed the direction of Ravin and found the figure of Arya who looked towards him.
"He's my ex-husband" said Els lowering her head.
Arya who was aware that Boss and his ex-wife realized being noticed by him instantly passed as Ravin and Els got closer to him.
"Why did he leave?" ravin said, Els just put her shoulder out.
"Does he still love you, baby?" they have now reached the lobby.
"That's impossible, because she's remarried and even has a child"
"You know what?" all three have entered the car, because Mr. Eko is waiting right in front of the lobby.
"Yes, the Emir told me about it when he drove me to the MCU at the time"
"How does the Emir know?"
"You didn't tell Mas, baby" said Ravin.
"I don't think that's important, because I don't care about the story either" Els replied honestly.
"I love you, don't hide anything from me even if it doesn't matter"
"I love you more my husband" said Els despite sounding stiff, but enough to make Ravin's heart happy.
🍀🍀🍀
Arya came home with a bend in her face, somehow her meeting with Els made her heart goosebumps. There is a sense of unwillingness if Els has become another man's wife, but there is a sense of happiness in seeing Els doing well and living her life happily.
Bu Nunik was astonished to see Arya passing by and even entered the house without saying a greeting, the man just lowered his head as if he saw something interesting on the floor.
"Arya" called Bu Nunik a few steps after entering the door.
"Eh..." Arya immediately turned around to shake her mother's hand.
"Assalamualaikum Bu" said Arya although late.
"Walaikumsalam" said Bu Nunik looking at his son's face.
"Mother alone? Where's Kinara?" ask Arya, because usually Bu Nunik and Kinara are the ones who welcome his arrival on the terrace.
"Isn't Cindy allowed on if she wants to stay at her dad's?" Ms. Nunik asked back.
"Cindy didn't say anything to Arya" to be honest, making Bu Nunik sigh heavily.
"Cindy took Kinara to her father's house, she said she would stay there for a few nights" said Ms Nunik, and the two went inside.
"Let it be then" Ms. Nunik who was taking a glass of water to Arya grew even more astonished.
"What's wrong?" Bu Nunik gave the glass filled with water to Arya.
"What's Mom?" Arya received the glass and immediately drank it to the toilet.
"You seem to be thinking about something" said Ms. Nunik.
"Arya had met Els, Mom" she answered listlessly.
"really? Whereabouts? How's things? Is she okay?" Bu Nunik chases Arya with various questions.
"She's fine Mom, even very good" said Arya leaned her body on the sofa and closed her eyes.
"What's Arya doing?" tanya Bu Nunik heard Arya's tone of voice.
"Come on Ma'am, Arya's happy to see Els doing well. But there's a bit of unwillingness to also see Els being happy by another man" Arya said.
"Els is married again? Where did you meet him?"
"So day at the office"
"What's Els doing in your office?"
"It's not my office, ma'am, it's Els' husband's office. Because Els is now the wife of the owner of the company where Arya works" explained Arya smiling miris.
"really?" asked Bu Nunik in disbelief, Arya just nodded with her eyes still closed.
"Did he behave haughty and arrogant when he befriended you?" bu Nunik's question made Arya open her eyes and straighten her body.
"Mom, Els is Els. And Els doesn't have the kind of traits that mom just said it does" Arya defended.
"You still love him? Is that why you talk like this?" guess Miss Nunik.
"Mom, Els is my past, what she was like she was once my wife and devoted herself to obedience to me. And as long as Els is my wife, she's a good wife, not that I still love her or not. But forgetting someone who has been in our hearts is not that easy. Moreover, the person never made a mistake, maybe when we married often disagree, but all that is still in the reasonable stage" said Arya gave understanding to her mother.
"Yes I regret not being able to maintain my marriage with Els, but it's all over. Even if some memories are still stored neatly in my heart. Let those fond memories be mine, because our story is over and Els has found the real ribs" Arya moved from her seat died Bu Nunik who was still fixated on digesting every word that came out of Arya's mouth.
