Almost everyone who passed him in the office asked the cause of the bruise on Adam's face. But Adam did not want to talk much and only replied with a smile at their questions. Especially Mr. Anton. He even thought that his favorite employee had gotten a crime on the road alias scuttle.
"It's just a small wound sir. After yesterday after returning from the office, I accidentally saw that there were mothers being snatched. And I'm a reflex, even so a fistfight with his snatch," Adam was forced to lie to Mr. Anton.
"Geez, Dam. Good thing it's not fatal" Mr. Anton shook his head.
The two of them were chatting in front of Adam's room, because when Adam had just come Mr. Anton just happened to come out of his room. He was shocked to see Adam's condition.
Just then Renata who had just come, just passed by the two of them and headed straight for her room. It was sad to hear that Adam had to lie to Mr. Anton over the incident. He feels guilty.
A few days after that event, Adam did start to keep his distance from Renata. They no longer had lunch together and only spoke as necessary.
That certainly makes Renata more confused. Also provoked curiosity about Selenia which is why the night was suddenly in her house, when Adam and Devan were fighting. Her feelings of guilt increase until she becomes the cause of Adam and Selenia's relationship - which may be her boyfriend or fiance - mess up.
"Sir, can we talk to you for a second?" asked Renata one day at lunchtime.
Before answering Renata's question, Adam had already put on a lazy look.
"I beg you, sir. If indeed I have been the cause of all your problems, allow me to be able to fix everything."
After thinking for a while but not finding certainty, Adam finally complied with Renata's request and they headed to the cafeteria.
In the cafeteria, Renata starts asking about Selenia and why she was there that night. If he used to think Selenia was his sister Adam, actually the allegations have been answered since they met at the funeral when Selenia's father mentioned that he was the only child. So in conclusion, Selenia must be her boyfriend or maybe her fiance Adam. Adam is still single. So it was written on his CV that Renata had read when he had just worked in this office.
"It's my wife" Adam answered Renata's question about the incident that night. "We're married, siri."
Renata's head felt like he had been hit by a sledgehammer hearing the statement. It turned out that their relationship was already more than he had expected.
And because he felt he had a chance to unlock his secret, Adam finally decided to tell him about his life that not everyone knew it, because he felt he could not bear to keep it.
It was heartbreaking for Renata to hear that reality. Deep in her heart, she felt jealous. The person who had been so caring and considerate to him and Nola, the person he had been craving for, the person he thought would be his place to anchor his heart, turned out to be someone else's.
"I don't know what else I have to do to get Selenia back" Adam said desperately. Renata could only fall silent, not knowing what to answer.
"He even blocked my WhatsApp contact Ren," so the day after he didn't get into the office at the time, Adam bought another phone to replace his destroyed phone.
During these few days, Adam felt that things had not changed for the better and quite the opposite. Several times he tried to meet Selenia at school, but his wife always dodged. It was painful to see Selenia who seemed to not recognize her. Plus the existence of Tony who seemed to take a chance in this matter because it was always seen near Selenia.
Is that right, Selenia doesn't need it anymore? Adam was afraid that Selenia would turn away and actually sue for divorce, as Mr. Fendi said that morning.
And during those few days, Renata secretly followed Adam who came to Selenia school at school. And that's the truth. Selenia still did not want to talk to Adam. At that time Renata's goal was stalking because he wanted to find out for himself what kind of connection Adam and Selenia had. But he never found the real answer until finally today, he heard it directly from Adam.
"Patient father yes," that was all Renata could say.
Adam nodded while taking a heavy breath.
"How was your trial Ren? When will it be in the title?" tanyanya shifted the topic of conversation.
"Possible day after tomorrow, sir. Since Devan kept on barking I asked to hurry up immediately," Renata lowered her head. "Honestly I'm afraid, sir."
"You have to be optimistic, Ren. You have to be sure, "Adam tried to strengthen. "Hopefully, you will win the trial."
"Mother."
"But, sorry, if you ask me to accompany you on that day, I cannot."
Renata looked at Adam with a disappointed look. Though he had just wanted to say that, but Adam had already intercepted him first. That means he will come alone as a defendant and only accompanied by a lawyer. While Devan, he will definitely bring his extended family. That's what makes Renata feel pessimistic. He smiled bitterly and nodded.
Adam glanced at his watch. There is only five minutes left to rest.
"I'm sorry if I can't help your problem" Adam finished his drink and stood up. "May your trial be successful. And whatever the outcome, may it be for the best."
"Sir.." call Renata when Adam has stepped away from the table. Adam looked. "Thank you for all the good of you. I don't know anymore if there's no Father..."
Adam smiled knot. "Together, Ren. Good luck," then continue to leave the cafeteria.
Renata has not yet moved from his chair. He looked at Adam's back that was getting away and disappeared behind the door. The male aura did look different lately. The family problems he faced had made his smile and spirit disappear. From there, he saw how much he loved his wife.
Seeing all that, Renata so thought, selfish if he still attach importance to his own feelings. She was indeed jealous and disappointed with the reality she had heard today. But given what Adam had done to him all this time, it was able to make him heartened to begin to eliminate and bury deeply his feelings for Adam. The man had helped him a lot in dealing with the problems that approached him. Adam is a good man and he believes Selenia must be the right woman for him.
Whatever and whatever their wedding background.
...🌺🌺🌺...
That night, Selenia sat on the balcony of her room alone. His eyes stared softly at the screen of the phone displaying a photo of a person. Photos he took from Adam's Instagram feeds.
"What are you, Dam?" muttered. His fingers stroked the face in the screen gently. Deep down in her heart, she longed for her husband.
During her stay at her father's house, Cia did come several times to comfort her or just to divert Selenia's feelings so as not to constantly think about her problems. Cia said, life must go on. That is, with or without Adam Selenia must remain spirit.
"Our future is still a long cell. Don't be too late in the sadness" Cia said at the time. "It's okay, you can be sad, disappointed, angry, or something like that, but please. Believe me, what is destined for us will come back to us."
Actually Selenia to Adam's emotions have begun to subside a little since hearing all the stories of Adam from his father. But for some reason, his heart is still very difficult to forgive all his actions. That's why, every time Adam tried to meet him at school, he chose to avoid it, even though he also felt pain while doing it. As a real wife she could not bear to leave Adam with a face full of despair in front of the school gate. He knew Adam was sorry for his actions. But it's hard to forget everything. The shadow of the event still continued to envelop Selenia's brain.
"Not sleeping, son?" Mr. Fendi appeared from behind the door.
Selenia hurriedly turned off the phone and placed it on the end of the chair.
"Eh, Dad. Not yet sleepy, Dad."
Mr. Fendi sat down beside Selenia. He looked at the child's face and smiled. As a father who has a strong bond with children, he knows what his child is feeling.
"What.... You really can't forgive Adam?"
Selenia looked at it. He did not answer immediately. I only heard a breath coming from his mouth.
"Butting your husband for days is not good. Moreover, Adam has already admitted everything."
"I'm still sick, Dad, remember what happened that night."
"Dad ngerti. But now everything is clear. What really happened is not what you thought, son. He didn't come there because he was fighting over Renata."
Selenia was silent again. Next he just listened to his father talk a lot about life after marriage. Tell me about her story and Mama. Advise and encourage him, that life is not always the way we want it to be.
"That father does not want to be grandiose to you," Mr. Fendi stroked Selenia's hair gently. "Looking at you happy is more than enough for Dad."
"I'm actually happy Well same Adam. But not for now. Please Daddy knows. Please don't force me to talk to Adam right away. Give me time Well."
Mr. Fendi took a long breath. "All right then. I will not force. I know you can definitely get through all of this" he said, then stood up. "Yes, it's night. You're sleeping, tomorrow's school right?"
Selenia nodded. As soon as Mr. Fendi came out of the room, Selenia reopened her phone. He looked back at the sweet smiling face and went into the room. Just as she was laying her body on the bed, a call came into her phone.
Selenia's eyes widened looking at the row of numbers on the screen. That's his phone number, right? Heart's pounding. It must have been Adam who tried to contact him because his WhatsApp was still blocked. Lift it up, right?
After cradling her phone for a few seconds and the call did not end, Selenia immediately shifted the green icon to the top.
"Hello, Non.." The one who called was Bi Iyah. Selenia was very excited because she heard the sound of Bi Iyah sobbing. What's up?
"Babies?" selenia's lips twitched. "Bibik why cry? What's up Bik? Any problems at home?" ask Selenia streak.
"Bibik kangen the same Non Selenia. When's Non coming back to this house again?"
Hearing that, Selenia breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, nothing happened to Adam. He thought, Bi Iyah contacted him because something happened to Adam. But he felt sad to hear Bi Iyah's wailing as well.
I actually miss the same atmosphere at Bik's house. Inner Selenia.
"I don't promise you, Bik. Doain is the best."
"Sure, Non. Bibik must always doain the best for Non and Mr. Adam. Kasian Mr. Adam Non."
"Surely Mr Adam why Bik?"
"Semenjak Non left this house, Mr. Adam so often moody. Mr. Adam also rarely eats, he often spends his time in the room. Bibik is afraid of Non if something happens to Adam."
Selenia's body vertical. "What Bik?"
"Yes, Non. Bibik's afraid. Bibik no longer knows how to persuade and comfort Mr. Adam."
Especially this?
Should I give up and forgive Adam immediately. He knew it wasn't easy, but he was also afraid that something would happen to Adam.
"Bibi don't worry. Adam had a lot of trouble in his office. We still like to send messages to each other" Selenia said. He had to lie so that Bi Iyah would stop worrying about Adam.
"Thank God Non then. Cepet back yes Non. There is no empty house."
"Udah Malem Bik," Selenia did not respond to Bi Iyah's request. "Auntie should take a break."
"iya-iya Non. Sorry to interrupt. Good night, Non."
Their conversation is over. After that Selenia became more and more karu-karuan. If Adam rarely ate, what about his health? What if the typhoid at that time relapses again? Ouchy!
Selenia searches for Adam's number and unblocks it.
Selenia: [Just want some ingetin. Don't eat late. Don't sleep less. Take care of your health]
Selenia sends a short message to Adam. And after the message was sent, he blocked Adam's number again.
