Whatever happens to you guys later read this part, I'm not responsible. Happy reading ;)
Nabila did not expect his relationship with Juna would be fine after the indirect disclosure at that time. Without having to ask further, he already knew some things very clearly. Juna liked it, and it was a forbidden thing that happened in Nabila's life, according to him, because Juna also had other views.
But what he found this morning was also very surprising. Juna looked at her with a big smile like the previous morning as if without any burden, as if the disclosure had never happened. What Nabila imagined was their relationship that suddenly became awkward and distant, but what is this? Or was it just a dream yesterday? It is possible that Juna who expressed his feelings did not do it and all that is only there
in dreams.
Yeah, it must be like that. Juna could not have liked it, in his office alone was filled with many beautiful women and certainly not a widow. Nabila gave a thin smile, there must be a sense of disappointment smuggling in his heart. It means the same thing as him which means nothing to Juna at all. Humans have been destined to have a selfish nature and also emotional and hypocritical.
“Again, Mbak. All schedules today are all on the table, including revisions that are as good as Mbak kasih,” said Juna with a very perfect face, his smile was not even off his face.
Only a nod and a thin smile were given Nabila in return. He will learn to let go of the man he couldn't have in the first place, and because he can't expect anything from their relationship. There was nothing to expect from the beginning, and it would be like that.
As a person grows older, there will be many things that will slowly hurt us, and then there are also things that we must slowly let go for our good in the future. Being an adult is so complicated and so painful, but it's still a phase that we have to go through.
That morning, all the work went on normally, until the meeting changed everything. Meetings are usually held by almost all departments to discuss about the magazine that will be published every month.
“It feels that if we join the interview with Katherine Agnesia will be too risky, we are a fashion magazine, not a gossip magazine,” suggested Nabila.
“We don't need to interview his private parts, just skip that part. She is also an up-and-coming actress, there is nothing wrong with making her the front cover of our magazine next month.” Chief Editor chimed. He was a man in the mid-forty who looked very young and also competent.
“Many people are interested in what is happening in his personal life, especially when news about him dating an actor opposite his co-star who is seven years younger than him. Most time widows are like that, right?”
In this meeting, there was Arlina who also joined. In the meeting that is usually held, always the female secretary who was present, this time Arlina herself who joined. The woman was still twenty-four, but, thanks to the connections she had, at this young age she was able to assume the post of marketing manager. It's ironic, right?
“Again, our magazine sales can also be more with this actress who is the cover. We can always
utilizing circumstances like this to boost sales,” continued Arlina again.
Almost everyone in the room was unmarried with only a lover, no widow except Nabila, and Arlina's words about Katherine Agnesia were quite offensive to him. But, where anyone can feel the feeling of being a widow who betrayed her husband and must try alone again from zero and raise her two children.
“Then, set up an appointment with Katherine Agnesia to talk about this.” Doni—chair editor—dipali again.
Oh, and this Doni is a childless widower. But being a widower and a widow are two very different things. Just look, it is many who admire the good looks of Doni and many who hope to be a wife or maybe her lover. No one sneered at him for being a widower, why is that also so ironic?
Men never leave marks, only women who always leave marks and become victims. That's the real reality, so it's best to remember that before doing something very fatal.
Arlina's words were actually not a very important thing or should he think about all day, but looking at the woman's gaze earlier, Nabila was sure that the woman was satirizing him blatantly. The sentence said on the toilet the other day is still very clear imprinted in Nabila's memory. Why does everything become so difficult when you are fighting for your own life? He could not even voice his opinion in the meeting room earlier which made him even more frustrated.
Well, or actually Arlina is a woman who indeed came to awaken Nabila from all the dreams and hopes that are entrenched in her beautiful head. He must realize that Juna can not have, he can not relate to younger men because it is forbidden.

Talking to the mother about desire and anxiety maybe he should have done it long ago. No matter how bad your relationship is, you are still family and blood is always thicker than anything in the world. Elle's decision has also been unanimous to immediately get out of this demonic environment. He doesn't want to be in a relationship with Brian or Enzo any longer.
Elle enters her apartment with a heart still in disarray after meeting her mother, whether this is a good or bad decision, if she can escape from two men who indirectly constrained her, then he can come off easily.
“So it turns out that this woman who always upholds her self-esteem finally decided to give up on her life? Just like this? You're so easy to guess, Elle.”
That voice, without even looking, Elle knew. Because there's only one man who's gonna enter his apartment without this excuse, Brian. And make sure there are many people who ordered the man
to investigate any activity Elle, since long ago it's been like that.
“Yes, because I just realized that self-esteem is not worth it, especially for people like me,” replied Elle calmly. “I'll pay off my debt quickly, that's what you want, right?”
Brian stood in the studio apartment with a flat face without showing any emotion. The cold aura of the man enveloped this very small apartment. The Parka that Elle was wearing could not even withstand the coldness that ran through her skin. He hates this kind of feeling, when he can't do anything about himself, there's nothing a man can do without power in his hands, forever he will be a victim of those whose power is greater than his.
“I always remind you if I always have a very good option for you, right? You don't have to pay that debt, just stay by my side and be mine, then everything is done,” Brian said arrogantly.
If only this man wasn't the Brian he knew, it wasn't Brian who caused his father's death and ruined his life, then Elle wouldn't have had to think over and over to accept this man happily. If Brian was just an ordinary man chasing after him for being too fascinated with Elle, then he would have chosen this man without hesitation. All Elle wants is to live a normal life with a normal guy.
Brian's steps slowly approached Elle who was staring at him fearlessly. Many things that make Elle look very attractive and also attractive, and it is able to make Elle in the likes of many people. The woman's cold nature only further adds to her charm, and Brian is well aware of that. Damn it, right? This woman had made him fall in love many years ago, but there was no best way to conquer this woman because she was never destined for this woman.
But, he's not Brian if he can't make the absurd the best thing and it's possible to make sense. Including this woman.
“I don't like it when another guy touches you, even when Enzo kisses you. How many times did he kiss you? Is it very often? Are you so lulled by her touch?”
Brian cut the distance between them to no distance like now. He was patient enough when he got the report and photos containing the kiss of two lovebirds are very friendly. “Did he start like this?”
A very soft little kiss managed to land on the corner of Elle's lips, the distance between the two was very close and Elle could do nothing but clutch her handbag tighter. He hates when he has no power over himself. His body felt even more disgusting when Brian managed to kiss his lips very gently.
Her tears slowly came down as Brian deepened their kiss. If Brian had just kissed him roughly, it would have been great, but this man had put all the gentleness he had into him. Yes, she is already very suitable to be a paid woman like her mother.
“I do not like when other men will later kiss this lip, even touch this body more than it should, including Enzo.” Brian stroked Elle's cheek in tears.
This woman is his, forever will be and he won't let another man touch her. “Be mine and I'll make sure your life will be back to the beginning again.”

This was the first time for Reno to attend a dinner in her father-in-law's company, so many guests were present, and of course they were officials and businessmen who had relations with her father-in-law. There were also some reporters as well as photographers who were indeed on special rental for the party that night. This is not just an ordinary dinner.
Reni tonight looks very bright and also a smile that he ceaselessly saddened. Reno could not guess whether the smile was sincere, or just another falsehood she was trying to point out. Life like Reni was exhausting, and now Reno entered into the woman's life and was forced to live the same life as that.
It was clear from the beginning that what Reni did was wrong, regardless of how bad the temperament was owned by Reni, she was just an ordinary woman. None of Reni's actions have the truth in them, precisely because Reno knows if it is wrong, then now he will try to improve and return his friend to where he should be.
It's impossible to change someone, right? Unless there is an intention in the person concerned to change themselves, but it never hurts to try. We never know the outcome if we don't try, do we? That's what Reno did to Reni. He only hoped that his steps this time would not be wrong.
“I don't need to do anything here, right?” tanyanRanum.
“You just need to be a good husband.” Reni still gave her best smile to the invited guests who greeted her or immediately gave her a polite nod.
“You don't want to eat first? Pretend also need energy,” said Reno with a little joke in it.
Only in public places like this can they get along and exchange ideas, because they are also unlikely to show the true nature of their families in the presence of many people.
Reni smirked a little, trying to cover up her nervousness. Although it was just a normal sentence but was able to make Reni's heart beat fast. Households that are decorated with quarrels are always not
forget to decorate with flowers, even though the flower is hidden deep in the bottom of his cold heart.
The company dinner that was tucked away with a fancy party was lively and smooth. They all look very satisfied with what they have got there. Only Reno is in the middle
confused looking for Reno who suddenly disappeared, either since when because they had split to look for air each and Reno ended up with a group of men whose age was a little on it. Well, discussing and promising to invest in each other's business is also a business launched by the men.
Perhaps next time, Reno will propose to have a dinner like this at home only because the hotel ballroom is so spacious that it makes it even harder to find the woman.
His breath was slightly breathless as he climbed the stairs towards the spiral-shaped second floor. I don't know who built this building. Reno's eyes narrowed when she found a dress that seemed to be swinging in the wind. He walked towards the silhouette, and was a little relieved when he found out that it was Reni.
“Ren ...,”
Reno's call was interrupted when he noticed a different movement from Reni, his shoulders were heaving and falling irregularly, as well as his body that looked shivering from behind him like this?
“Reni!”
Reni's body fell to the floor along with the cry from Reno, swiftly catching Reni whose body was already weak. Cold sweat soaked Reni's forehead and body, they could not if they had to postpone another meeting to the doctor.
“Reni, did you hear me?” ask Reno.
Reni woke up and weakly tried to recognize this young man before her, but her body refused and all she could do was lie in the man's arms, and all she could do was lie in his arms, his body was already unable if it had to last a little longer. Hopefully this time, Reno will be kind again for the umpteenth time and take her to the hospital.
