Bonus Chapter : The Problem

Hi, so do you think it's better if Dimitri is cheating or not? Comen, yes^^

After arguing with Dimitri, I was finally able to return to my flower shop. I miss having a busy life, and getting pregnant is not an obstacle. My body tends to get tired easily if I don't do any activities, and there's nothing I can use to distract my mind.

Especially after my accidental meeting, or maybe all that was intentional made to look natural and fool me. Until now I have not found any answer, the answer to all of my constantly stacked thoughts.

Yesterday was a very bad day for me. Every time I feel happy, there are one or two things that will destroy that happiness. Is Jakarta this narrow so that I can meet Evelyn, without intention? And Dimitri didn't understand that at all.

In the end, we ended up having lunch together. Can you imagine what it's like to be in my position, right? My acting has to be the harder I maximize, and yes, it's the worst.

“You often eat here?” evelyn asked that afternoon. All Evelyn's chatter and questions were directed at Dimitri, I was just a complement there.

“This is the first time, cousin recommended,” replied Dimitri.

“Food here is already famous for its great taste.”

“Soalya Lilies crave Sundanese food.”

I really just enjoyed my meal, with occasional glances at Dimitri as well as Evelyn. The taste of the food here is indeed very good, but it might be even better if there is no Evelyn here. Does this woman realize what she is currently doing? Laughing and familiar with the husband of others, even though the wife herself was beside him.

It seems like this woman like Evelyn is very shameless, even though she has a company though, maybe this is the way she takes to build her company. So embarrasing.

“You want to add more, baby?” ask Dimitri.

And I don't understand what Dimitri's thinking. I know this man very well, but now it feels like he's not the man I married. Although he showed the sweetest smile and was full of love, but it was like it could not change everything.

“Udah is enough, I want to go home. The food here is not good, the atmosphere is also uncomfortable, your cousin seems to not understand about food at all.”

Evelyn's face changed, as did Dimitri. I don't care, about politeness or anything else, because I'm here for the loss, and it's huge. I've never spoken in this cynical tone before, maybe a few years ago when Dimitri wasn't honest with me about Michelle.

I only show my dislike to people I really don't like, and I show it even with insinuations. But, usually it is not very good. I got up from my seat and walked away leaving them both. This time it seems like it has gone too far, and I can't pretend anymore, I'm afraid I'm going to get an image trophy because of my role.

All the way home, none of us spoke. I also have no intention to open my voice, I just need Dimitri's explanation without asking. I want him to be aware of his own mistakes, but he behaves as if nothing happened. Fuck, right?

“Lili.”

I stopped my steps at the end of the stairs. After the car stopped, I went out without saying anything. Dah should after this Dimitri be aware of what his mistake was and willingly explain without having to ask.

“Evelyn is not what you think, we have no relationship whatsoever,” Dimitri continued.

I tried to regulate my breathing before turning to face him, maybe I should let out all the emotions I had been harboring all this time.

“Oh yes? So what's your relationship like?”

“He's just a client, and it just so happens that our chat matches, that's all. She also has a husband, Li, I can't possibly do things like my own client.”

“And you guys always happen to meet kayak gini? This isn't the first coincidence, is it? You think I'd believe all your talk?”

Dimitri's face looked hardened, is it true what I just said? “Any woman will also think the same thing as me if you care about your closeness. So how am I supposed to? Friendly with that woman, while she completely ignored me who was beside you. You ask me to admit that?”

Dimitri stepped closer to me, his face very much like someone caught cheating on me with someone else. This time I was not wrong.

“Please trust me, Li,” he said when he arrived before me.

I tried so hard not to explode, I still held back my emotions so much. It's not that I keep her feelings, I need to take care of my baby. Stress is not good for pregnant women, I will not harm my baby for the sake of a momentary emotion.

“You can still talk like that when you think about it? In that case, I will also do whatever I want, and I hope that you can trust me. All you need in a relationship is trust, right?”

I immediately turned around to continue my steps without even seeing Dimitri.

It had been almost an hour that I was struggling with the flowers in front of me trying to forget about our debate yesterday. Maybe it was our first great debate, usually only about small issues and quite trivial. But, this time it was big, quite big even.

I stroke my queen's belly, can I get through the storm this time again? It looks so heavy to me, my emotions are also very unstable.

“Lili, eat first, it's almost past lunch hour,” said Tari. He was three years older than me, so I asked him to call by name only. I don't want to create a rigid work environment, after all, it's just a small florist.

I did ask Mbak Tari to remind me of lunch hour, I was afraid to forget myself and forget about nutrition for my own baby. Although I was in a bad emotional state, at least my baby did not need to be affected. Ms. Tari also knew about my pregnancy, so I made sure I would not forget the meal.

Dimitri and I went back to being cold after yesterday's incident, let's just say we were calming down each other so as not to have an increasingly heated debate. We intropkesi each other to be more mature in undergoing problems. Think of it like that.

I enjoy my lunch quietly, I just have to be strong for my baby right now. Because behind all the new problems that have befallen me, there is a small sustenance that I am very grateful for his presence.

“Excuse me,”

Mbak Tari and I both turned to the front door, it looks like there are customers. “Mbak continue to eat, let me go ahead.”

“There can I help?” I said when I met him who was looking at various types of flowers. The man turned around, and I was very surprised to know who this man was.

“Richard?” many ensure.

The man just smiled at me. “Hai, Lili.”

“You came here on purpose?” my many.

“I'm just interested in the name of this store, I want to be with someone, and I did not expect to see you here,” said Richard. His smile was extremely wide at the moment, as if it was able to tear his mouth apart.

“You want to buy flowers?”

“Because I met someone unexpected here, why don't we just reunion? while drinking coffee maybe?”

 Without waiting for long, I agreed. It's just Richard, I told Dimitri I would do everything I wanted.

“You're in Jakarta now?” my many.

We were in one of the cafes not far from my flower shop. It would be very troublesome if we had to travel a long distance to chat. If I accidentally met Evelyn and Dimitri again, I would assume they were having an affair.

“I am still in Singapore, I occasionally go to Jakarta to take care of Papa's branch office here.”

“Such a complete package yes, you. Doctors and businessmen, no wonder how many women are chasing you out there.”

Richard laughed at my words. It's always been like this, even though I have no intention of making jokes at all. I didn't even feel like my words were funny, but Richard always laughed when he heard me, long ago at our first meeting.

“Well, yes, but I still failed to get the woman I liked.” Richard looked at me meaningfully.

What does he mean is me? “You have less hard work for me, or are you too kind and giving up on your own best friend?”

Richard shrugged his shoulders. “At least he can get the happiness he should have got long ago, I have no problem.”

Then, why would everything be this complicated if I was the happiness Richard meant? But people are always changing, right? I just didn't know that I was going to face a storm like this, but it hasn't been a year since our marriage.

“You're happy with Dimitri, right?” ask Richard.

I was happy, a long time ago, before a woman named Evelyn appeared. I'll take this as part of our household exam. Even if I'm emotionally and physically tired, I'll stay.

“You wish I wasn't happy?” ask me with a full tone of jokes.

“You should have said that, so I can call you from Dimitri. In hindsight, he was no better than me, nor was I less handsome than him. What do you see from him?”

I laughed at the sentence that contained the level of piety of a Richard Jagratara. I'll just agree to that, because Richard is handsome, I have to say what not to acknowledge Richard's good looks. It is only natural that a handsome person is aware of his own good looks.

“I can't say no, can I?”

We laughed again. At least I can feel the laughter today, I am also tired of all the emotions.

**

I came home a little late, when the store was about to close, suddenly one of the customers came and ordered some flower arrangements. I wanted to refuse, but the man said he would give this flower to his girlfriend who was in the hospital and wanted to propose today.

Well, I'm quite touched by the man's reasoning. Although in fact it is a very common reason. Who knows, thanks to the flowers I made, the lover will accept his proposal. At least it's in good interest. It seems like small things like this can make me happy because they can contribute to that happiness.

It seems like now, I have a pretty solid reason to keep that flower shop. Most who come to the flower shop, are those with the widest smiles who want to give something special to their loved ones. Then they will smile more and more widely when I explain the meaning of the

the flowers they choose.

The point is, it's like happiness in itself when I can do all that for them.

“Why did you just come home?” ask Dimitri. He was already standing on the steps of the stairs with a cold face.

“It's my business to go home at what time, you mind?”

“Until when do you want to like gini?”

I put my shoulders back indifferently. “Maybe until your relationship with the woman is over. You calm down, I can take care of myself and this baby well, you don't have to worry.”

“And let you meet Richard Kayak this afternoon?”

Oh, so he knows. I don't need to be surprised, because the office is also located near my flower shop. And I don't feel guilty about it, I didn't do anything wrong or cross the line.

“So is wrong? You can even meet the woman as you like, and I can't meet Richard who met you and you already know him? I told you I'd do everything as I please, you just have to trust me. That difficult?” I said coldly.

“Richard likes you from a long time ago, you don't realize that? I believe in you, but not Richard.” Dimitri's tone began to rise.

Well, it seems like I'm still being blamed in the situation I am in, and I still feel my ego is big. Dimitri's ego is much bigger then.

“If I forbid you from connecting with that woman, would you like to obey? You're just saying you don't have any relationship, but you always meet behind my back. And now you're acting as if I'm the guilty one here?!” my yelling.

Even Dimitri was surprised by my screams. I also don't know where the screams came from, perhaps from all this frustration. I turn around, I don't think I'll be able to stay here for a mini-mala. All my disappointment

it's getting mountaineering. But just a few steps I felt the room turn, and I couldn't stand up straight before it went dark.

“Lili!”
