Towards the end of the chapter, do you have any special words for each character? Or maybe you want a special chapter for one of the characters maybe? Just request, maybe I can make it.
The meeting that had been waiting for finally happened, that Saturday night Liliana and Dimitri, and Nabila and Richard gathered. Added by Elang and also both children Nabila—Aidan and Alya— and Adela who are in the sling of Nabila. The little baby was very calm in the sling of Nabila, but basically the little baby will be calm in anyone's arms.
This time their event was to gather together in addition to their children who participated. Richard was the first to propose this, he wanted the atmosphere this time to be a little crowded. Tonight is Richard's night. Remember, right, if there's anything Richard wants to say about Germany? Liliana was even to the point of being astonished, how could this man withstand all of that all this time. It would be better if it is delivered directly, without having to wait this long.
Richard and all his thoughts were something that the other three sometimes did not understand. Nabila is one real example that sometimes Richard's mind is a little different than others. Sometimes he can be very gentle, sometimes he can be very firm, sometimes he can be a good friend to his friends.
“You are not envious, because we all already have a baby?” ask Dimitri.
And Dimitri was the only man who could blatantly make fun of Richard. Their friendship relationship, which has also been very long, affects their closeness to be closer. It takes separation to understand the meaning of presence. Such is the definition that is very suitable for Dimitri, because almost everything he has today is the result of losing.
“They are also my children, why envy?” Richard raised both his shoulders indifferently. He doesn't care much about the people around him.
“So, when is your relationship inaugurated?” ask Nabila.
“I'm curious, what news do you bring from Germany,” timpal Liliana.
It is common when his friends start asking questions like this. Indeed it was his goal to gather his three best friends like this, to convey the happy news that he had
save it a few weeks ago.
“You must be curious, right?” ask Richard.
Richard showed his ignorant face to the three people who were looking at him seriously. Richard is not his name if he is not acting ignorant, especially when he sees faces full of curiosity.
“Luck tomorrow is Sunday, so I don't need to go home spit-cepet.”
“You hunted, deh, make up Nabila, let cepet finish the story.” Liliana started sewot.
They all know, if Nabila is upset, then Richard will just start to be a little serious. That is the circle between them. Richard and Nabila are two people who have always been mood savers between them.
“Because I'm happy I won't make Nabila sprain. Well, actually it's past, but I still feel that this happiness won't end.”
When Nabila crossed her arms around her chest, she looked at Richard calculatingly. Richard couldn't just let go of it just because the happiness he said would never end. Richard is a man with all his wits in his head.
“I'll finally get married to Kate.”
Actually it was certainly expected by the three people, but still when hearing it directly from Richard's mouth, everything felt quite happy. It took about ten seconds to process the sentence that came out of Richard's mouth.
“I knew it was going to happen, but I was happy with it,” Dimitri said.
“So Kate finally got you too?” ask Liliana.
Remaining Nabila who just nodded his head, he did not want to say anything to Richard because this time he did not intend to congratulate. All he had on his mind right now was a sentence to blaspheme the man.
“Well, it took time to convince him at first, but he finally answered yes and until now,” continued Richard.
“You're sure Kate was aware when you talked like that?” ask Nabila.
Richard's fierce gaze finally appeared when Nabila asked that. Yeah, who wouldn't be upset by an answer like that. But, this is Richard and Nabila. Such a thing is like a habit for both, if not Richard who will start, then Nabila who will start a fight.
“So how is your relationship with the one in droves?” ask Richard again.
“You still have a relationship with Juna, Bil?” Liliana added.
If it is like this, then the conversation will be longer. It didn't matter if they stayed, after all, there were still some empty rooms in Dimitri's house. The problem is, the beginning of this conversation that leads to many things. Though Nabila did not intend to discuss Juna tonight, especially after the incident that afternoon.
“Well, I don't have one, but he wants to have a relationship.” Nabila shrugged his shoulders, as if he did not care, but he also cared about this one thing.
Dimitri, Richard, and Liliana looked at each other. The three of them knew very well what was on Nabila's mind, the woman also liked Juna as much, but there were still some limits she wanted to set for herself. That limit is what until now still bothers his mind and also his heart.
“You don't want to try to connect with this Juna? If indeed you do not fit, you can retreat, age is not everything, Bil,” advises Dimitri.
“This time I agree. You don't know what's going to happen if you don't try. Everything has to be tried first so you know, Bil.” Richard added.
“I have often said the same thing, but Nabila remains the same.”
“I'm a widow, there is a limit—“
“Not your wish because of the status of the widow you have, why should you be so humble as to believe just because you are a widow?” cut Dimitri's.
Maybe Nabila used to be very meritorious in the relationship Dimitri and Liliana, but Nabila is also just an ordinary human being who is not easy for him to find a solution of all the problems that beset him.

Caroline lay weakly on the hospital bed, her body full of bruises, and then there was an oxygen hose that covered her nose and mouth. The first time Elle saw her mother was this weak, and it was all because of her. If Elle had not been selfish to choose her own path, this might not have happened.
The flow of tears that flooded Elle's cheeks grew increasingly swift, he was unable to stem it anymore, no matter what Enzo was beside him. The doctor said if there were some internal injuries due to the bruises received.
Enzo who was beside Elle was only able to calm the woman who was crying. He was very surprised when he saw Elle fall down with a face filled with tears, he had never seen Elle's cry before like this. He knew, sooner or later Brian would act, let alone see Elle who was getting closer to him.
“Family Lady Caroline?”
It was Enzo who first turned his head to hear the call. A middle-aged man in a doctor's suit covering up to his knees approached them. Then Elle slowly turned to meet face to face with the caller.
“The injuries all over Mrs Caroline's body were quite severe, even the ribs had cracks. Luckily there were no serious injuries to the head, then there was some internal organ damage that caused Mrs Caroline until now has not been conscious,” said the doctor.
“But ... can my mother still be healed?” asked Elle stammeringly.
“We will do our utmost to cure Mrs Caroline. If there is any advanced information, we will contact back soon.”
The middle-aged man smiled faintly before leaving Enzo and Elle who still looked extremely shocked. This time, Brian had really gone too far. A few hours earlier, Elle received a phone call from Brian who had called her from nowhere, saying he had nearly killed Caroline for hiding Elle from her.
Seeing from the bruises all over her mother's body, Elle knew that Brian had all his men to gang up on Caroline. Later, he will ask the truth to the owner of the bar where his mother works. At least they have to make up for the losses that befell his mother, when his mother was at work, and there should be security guarding the mother.
Elle rubbed her face rough, thinking Brian had done nothing after what he had done. His life completely changed, and he failed to find the happiness he dreamed of. To him
living alone with his mother alone has made him find the happiness that was lost.
“I'm here, I'll protect you as well as your mother.” Enzo hugged Elle tightly. He really meant his word.
“Brian ... the man was horrible ...,” Elle said with a whim.
Elle has no idea if Enzo knows all about Brian and what his goal is to get close to his company. His experience in the world of entrepreneurship has been obtained since he was a teenager, without having to investigate a lot of things, he already knows what Brian thinks.
From then on, he was determined to protect this woman at all costs. I don't know, the feeling just popped into his heart in a way he didn't know. The feeling of having it suddenly appeared and started to tear apart his heart. The name Cecilia did appear in his mind, but Elleanor was more domineering at the moment.
“I make sure that guy won't dare touch you again, I won't let him.”

“I've signed as your request.” Reno handed the brown envelope to Reni who was sitting opposite her. “Divorce letter as you requested,” Reno continued.
Reni just stared at the brown envelope with no interest. Their domestic relationships simply revolve around mutual tug-of-war. I don't know how many times they've been like this, and somehow they finally managed to survive until now. Living in a home full of lies.
How-to? So that this relationship can still run according to what Reni wants, while Reno does not want this relationship at all. Why has Reni always been such a pathetic person here? He never got what he wanted, nor did he get what he loved.
“So, how is our friendship after this? Are you still someone who will notice me?”
Shameless? There was no longer any shame he felt after all this. He is still Reni who became a destroyer of other people's households, forced to do unwanted marriage, and now divorced. After this, it has been ascertained if the father will directly cross it from the family card list, maybe even will not admit it as a child again.
His parents are examples of couples who only care about their own reputation, no matter if the child is moaning with all the problems. Already since school Reni felt that way, and most of the friends he had were friends who only came when he was on top.
“Do you think we can go back to how we were? Back as friendly as you want?” ask Reno.
“Can't I, just a little, get into your heart as a person of value to you?”
Reno looked at Reni with a gaze that she could not understand, their friendship should not be like this, they should not start something that could not be ended like this. There is no turning back for their relationship like this.
“I've told you many times, that we can't be more than friends. Let's just say everything that ever happened was a.” mistake
It was easy for Reno to say, but it was very difficult to do so. Losing someone who had been the place to depend on all this time must have been very difficult. Reni is wrong from the beginning, he is always antagonist in every life he enters, he knows it and he will not change it. Who can accept well an antagonist who enters the lives of others?
“What do you think is wrong with me?” ask Reni.
Reno fell silent. It was not entirely Reni's fault, because at that time she also became one of the men who accepted the temptation. He did not think at all about his wife and child who had been waiting for him at home. From the beginning he knew that Reni had also loved him, and how Reni struggled to get affection apart from her parents.
He knew all that clearly, and he did not know himself to give the opportunity, so this was not entirely Reni's fault. The personality that has been formed in Reni is also due to Reno's involvement during this time.
“I'm sorry. I also made you like this, I got you in a relationship with me. I've felt so guilty all this time.”
“You are really sorry about this relationship, yes.”
That's not a question, it's a statement he made himself. Reni is also aware of how many mistakes she has, she just can't back down and live back to normal. There are still men who will
accept it, there is still a woman who will accept it as a friend after knowing what she has done.
More and more people hate him and look at him as if he is a disease that must be avoided. There had been many unpleasant gazes that he got, he was injured, but others still considered him a woman with a very bad nature. So, up until now, he grew up with all those thoughts.
