#2# Take 49
Hi, how are you guys? I'm back for you guys, oh yeah make slashes in this story other flashbacks or things that have happened yes. Want dong, about the ending that you read the most for all the characters here is like how, anyway?
Arjuna's back. Back at Nabila with all the sweetness as before, even since this morning his smile never faded from the lips of the man. There are no bad thoughts in Nabila's mind, maybe the man managed to express love for Arlina and the two officially became lovers. Someone who falls in love is like that, right?
It is not the business of Nabila also if the two are dating or not, he has decided not to care about the man as much as possible. Yes, he seems to have made sure himself if in the end he admitted if mencin—lik—Juna. Feelings like that always come later, and cause regret for anyone who feels.
But that's not the main point. Nabila could have with all his crazy brain expressed love, if only the man was not Juna. For her, co-workers and younger men are off limits, and Juna has two of those things. Be she withhold all feelings whatsoever for the man. Maybe not the age of the problem, but the status he now holds.
“No parent wants their precious child to have a relationship with a widow, have another child and get divorced. Maybe if my status was due to the death of my husband, there would be something different. I failed to maintain my own household, how could I possibly think of getting into a relationship again with a new man again?”
Richard breathed tired. Although the two often do not get along and fight more, but Richard cares about his best friend's ex-wife. He was already quite disappointed at what Reno did to his impeccable ex-wife.
“If you love each other, what can parents do? And this divorce is also not your fault, why do you constantly blame your divorce?”
“And there is only one answer for it, ‘husband until cheating, there must be something wrong with his wife’,” said Nabila by mimicking the mothers who like to gossip.
This time Richard's breathing sounded heavier. Is the mind of all parents like that? Why does it sound so horrible? Or maybe there is something wrong with the people of Indonesia now?
“That's just your concern, Bill. I'm sure not all parents are like that.”
“Believe me, Chad, I've been met with more hurtful comments than that.”
“Reno seems not like that, he even married when you were just divorced.”
“I'm a girl, Chad. I think all the bad things that happen to women always leave a very clear mark on them, no matter how hard I try to make things right.”
Yep. She is a woman and all those scars and stains will be on her, no matter how hard she shows her achievements. She is still a widow who did not manage to maintain the household until it was able to make the husband cheat behind her.
Miris, right? But that's how it happened. People will only focus on the question ‘what has been done by the wife until the husband cheated?’ instead, ‘why the husband cheated on her
on his own best friend?’. Luckily Nabila is not a public figure, imagine if Nabila is an artist or anything, it is certain that the news of divorce and infidelity will decorate all tabloids, newspapers, maybe even events
cheap gossip on television.
“Mbak .. “
“Mbak Nabila.”
Nabila's daydream suddenly broke from hearing the call, he found Juna who was smiling broadly at him. Thinking about her status and also the heartbreaking story of her past and current romantic relationship was sickening, and always confiscated her brain.
“What's up, Jun?” ask Nabila.
Juna handed over the map he was carrying, even after the map changed hands, Juna remained motionless from where he stood. Of course still with a sweet smile that can not be separated from his lips all day. Even if
Juna was in a kasmaran, that smile wasn't very excessive? It's not because Nabila is jealous if he's not the reason for the smile, but it really just sucks.
“Tonight there's time, Ma'am? Somebody wants me to talk.”
Nabila's forehead wrinkled. In retrospect, the two always spent dinner together before returning to talk about serious matters. Is it the same this time? Or tonight Juna will tell if he is officially with Arlina and ask Nabila not to interfere? But Nabila also did not help, he did not care about any relationship between the two.
“Is there anything important to talk about?”
“Maybe important, maybe not. Mbak himself who will mutusin later after denger.” The smile had worn off a little when Nabila had assumed many things.
“Maybe next time, I have an appointment tonight,” said Nabila.
The smile on Juna's lips came down slightly with that answer. Yes, although he also did not really hope that Nabila would receive it with open arms, but the little hope remains, right? Everyone must have little hopes in their heart when there is an outcome they are waiting for.
“Ah so, maybe tomorrow night?” Juna will not give up.
“I. After your work so we can go home on time,” replied Nabila.

Nabila's dinner appointment was with her ex-husband. Although Nabila did not want to see him, but he could not do. They are divorced, but both are parents to Aidan and Alya. The two still had to meet to discuss their two children. The more their sons and daughters grew up, the more curiosity arose in them.
“I have tried to give understanding to Aidan, hopefully after this he is fine,” open Reno.
There's no need to explain how that awkward feeling hangs over them, right? Their relationship will remain this way for much time to come. A pair of ex-lovers can cut off contact with each other to avoid pain, what about an ex-husband and wife like them who have to side by side for their child's problems by enduring the pain and longing of each other.
“Hopefully, I am not used to seeing Aidan who suddenly cheerful so moody as gini.”
There was a long silence between them after the opening chat. Both are busy with their own thoughts. Very awkward silence, all about Nabila and Reno is just a sense of awkwardness and
“How are you?” The first question after that long silence, because Reno was very curious and wanted to know all about Nabila. He still misses their old relationship.
“Kayak you see now, I am much happier.”
Not a lie, although all this time more pain he felt, but he was also very happy at this time. He is happy to spend time with his two children, he is happy to spend time with them
gathering with his friends, and many things that make him a happiness.
Although Nabila felt a deep pain, he only needed to show nothing, because it was all not important. What is the point of showing her sadness? What all the trouble will be
just lost by crying? He has to be strong and get things done, that's what he has to do on a cloudy day that's always on his head.
“What ... Do I not have a chance to start over with you?” ask Reno carefully.
Nabila looked at Reno unblinking. He never thought the words came out of Reno's lips, after everything that happened. Nabila misses, he is very much missed by the togetherness they went through with their two children. But, he also could not carelessly feel that forbidden feeling.
Why all the feelings that Nabila felt now even more sound forbidden and very haram for him to feel? I don't know where the cold Nabila went.
“Do we have to get back together again?” ask Nabila calmly.
The question was more about himself, Nabila is not the type of woman who would forgive someone so easily. How to forgive if the hurt is still firmly in his heart?
The longing and the heartache were mixed into one, vying for control of each other's hearts. The one who dominates, that's the winner. The problem is, the two things both dominate each other's heart very strongly, both in the same portion so that one of them can not win a place in his heart. If he feels longing, the pain will remind him of all the things that have caused him to suffer.
Then, when that hurt dominates, there will be a longing looming over. The feeling always came together, making him even more depressed and thinking about many things.
“I ... still love you,” shriek Reno.
Of love? Why betrayal if you are still in love? Isn't that selfish? Although it is said that if we have to put aside ego for the sake of the growth and development of their children, Nabila can not do it. How can she survive on the same roof as her ex-husband, after knowing what the man is doing behind her.
Six months. During that time they made a mistake, and now Reno says he's still in love? Where was the last time Reno laid his brain? Or is the brain lost somewhere it can't be known? Whatever it is, betrayal is betrayal. There is a wounded heart from that betrayal.
“Why are you so easy to talk about love, even though you already have a wife? What is that joking love for you?”
“Not that I mean, Bil—“
“Our business until now only concerns Aidan and Alya, I do not intend to do anything because my pain is still very wet. Not sure when this wound dries.”
Without intending to wait for Reno's answer, Nabila immediately got up from her seat and walked away leaving the man alone. There is nothing better than a broken heart than to make the person insensitive and end up regretting and lamenting him.

The two adult men of different ages were staring at each other. There was a reluctant look in the eyes of the two men, or rather a dislike for each other. They can't like each other in this condition, being able to sit face to face like this is good news, especially if they like each other.
Only one thing made the two of them dislike each other like this. Elle. Both of them liked Elle for different reasons.
“I never know if you can be this slick too? Isn't that so evil? How are you going to explain this to the media?” ask Brian coldly.
After the news came out and the stock cancellation was successful, Brian immediately contacted the Key East Corporation to ask for the truth. And the truth was the man who was sitting before him at this moment.
Key East itself is a subsidiary of Enzo, the purpose of Brian put his stake in the small company is to master it. But yes, all things he can't control alone. Everything becomes clearer when he decides to deal with Enzo, a young businessman who is very famous among senior entrepreneurs.
It seemed like all this time he had misjudged this man, now he was stuck with what this man had done. Brian seemed to be a little lost this time.
“I didn't do anything, the shares you have there are invalid. I just did what I had to do as the supreme leader. Cheating is never in my dictionary, and I hate it so much, that's the only reason,” Enzo said calmly.
Some time ago it seemed like their relationship was fine when they signed a cooperation agreement between them. Wait, is that cooperation also part of Enzo's foul trick to destroy what he has?
“Really? Why don't I see that sentence on the deal sheet? I'm like betrayed.” Brian smiled in anguish.
Enzo was not at all intimidated by what Brian said or did, for him, this man was just a coward hiding behind power. From all the data he had from his assistant about this man, he was already able to easily deduce, as well as the way Brian threatened Elle. Enzo thought all those things were so disgusting, how there was such a man living among them.
“Don't think to know everything if you don't know what you're dealing with at all. Don't be naive, Mr. Brian.”
Believe me if the aura around the two people is very gripping, when two men who have power compete with each other and emit a domineering aura. If Brian thought, he could conquer Enzo with just such a useless look, then the man was very wrong. There is nothing else that he fears in this world, the world alone has been very unfair to him, he has lived in a deepest place that imprisoned him with the memories of the woman he loved.
Cecilia's father's treatment of their company has been very cunning and can not accept. For years he did not know the truth, and when it was all revealed, his heart ached more than anyone could have ever imagined. Now, Enzo will make sure himself if the same thing will never happen again.
“Listen, in this field, I've almost mastered everything. So—“
“Don't be too confident, you can master everything, but not to understand everything. Prepare to surrender.”
