Bonus Chapter : Reason

so this is in the story from my point of view yes, not Lili. This particular part is like. The rest will return to Lili's point of view again

At first Dimitri thought that working with Evelyn was a good thing for his company. Proven from the stock price that continues to increase significantly every day. But it's only in terms of work, not in his personal life. He did not expect that would make his wife misunderstand like this.

It was only a work affair between Dimitri and Evelyn, but Evelyn was one of the women who could not accept rejection and she had also been interested in Dimitri since the beginning she accepted the proposal of cooperation. He was married, even had children, and Dimitri also had a wife, Evelyn knew all that. But, all of this was for the sake of their smooth cooperation.

I don't know what else Dimitri has to do to get an apology from his wife. He could not just cut off the cooperation with Evelyn because they were already under contract. Even more troubling was that Evelyn would only agree to everything if there was Dimitri there. A sneaky way to get Dimitri.

Dimitri unsettledly checked the report before him, his wife was pregnant young and was in a very vulnerable condition, their communication was very minimal, making Dimitri himself very awkward to pay attention to his wife even better. They were legal spouses, but for one thing or another, which was more than Dimitri's own fault, they became like this.

Only the incident in the park yesterday was able to make Dimitri's mind a little calm. It doesn't matter if Liliana refuses, she hopes her baby will accept Dimitri. He misses his wife very much, and he is already very sick of this job.

There was a knock on the door a few moments before Surya threw himself out from behind the door. Surya is the head of the team that handles the Evelyn project. In fact, even though Surya has handled the project, Evelyn still wants Dimitri present at every meeting.

If Evelyn was not a big client, then Dimitri would gladly let go of the woman and her household would not have this kind of problem. Building his own company without the help of his father was the greatest achievement Dimitri experienced. Even stable until now this was thanks to hard work all along,

and having Evelyn as a client is a very significant step forward.

In the end, Dimitri had to sacrifice a little for his career like this.

“What's up?” ask Dimitri.

Surya was his senior back in college, and they had also been friends quite well before they met again when it was such a success.

“Today there is no meeting with Evelyn, so I feel very free,” said Surya. He sat himself down on Dimitri's comfortable sofa. Not only Dimitri was in trouble, but himself as well.

“Back home Mas, before suddenly Evelyn calls you and requests an impromptu meeting.”

“You're still cold war with your wife?”

Surya knows Dimitri's household story, because the man himself told him. Not in detail, just the outline. There was no way he could tell the story of his household to others so clearly.

“Udah to get better because of cravings, maybe now back kayak first again.” Dimitri smiled wryly thinking about that. If only every day Liliana craves to always be close to him, it does not matter if their child is the reason, as long as they are fine.

“Why aren't you being honest? Our cooperation contract is six months, you sure can continue cold war with your wife?”

The reason Dimitri had not told the truth was, he was afraid that Liliana would make this a burden of the mind, let alone with such a pregnant condition. Their quarrel alone had already made Liliana have to bleed, what if she was telling the truth then another bad thing would happen to Liliana?

This is just a parable, Dimitri also can not mendo’ bad things happen to his wife. She and Evelyn have absolutely no relationship, only Evelyn is always on her approach, trying to find opportunities and always trying to attract her attention.

“Lagian Mas who is involved in Evelyn's project, why should I be in every meeting? Mas stay hand over the report to me, so I don't need a cold war with my own wife.”

“You think Evelyn would like that, you know the nature of that woman the most.” Surya is not willing to be blamed in this situation. She is single, but Evelyn is only interested in Dimitri, what else should she do?

“Lagian has a very handsome face, kasian your wife it.”

Dimitri threw the pen towards Surya who looked to be enjoying himself very much on the sofa. Nothing can be blamed in the circumstances as it is now, only needed to straighten out the problems that occur.

**

Dimitri arrived home a little late from his usual day. It's seven o'clock, but the house looks dark. Though the driver who was hired for Liliana said that his wife had been home since this afternoon. Dimitri hurried

go inside to check, afraid that there might be something that Liliana did not want.

“Lili!”

No voice answered that call. Dimitri also turned on the lights in the room, there was only a sound coming from the television on. Dimitri went straight to the sofa there, the last time Dimitri also found Liliana there.

And sure enough, Liliana fell asleep curled up on the sofa hugging herself. “Lili..Honey..,” Dimitri stroked Liliana's cheeks gently.

Slowly, Liliana's eyes opened and blinked a few times before focusing her gaze on Dimitri. “You've come home,” said Liliana.

Somehow this makes Dimitri a little dejavu, just like a few days ago when Liliana had just returned from the hospital and asked to separate rooms for the safety of her baby. It's true, but Dimitri there's another reason that makes him do just that.

“Why are you sleeping here?”

Liliana tried to sit herself down. “It...I..I.Wait for you,” said Lili lirih. He lowered his head, trying to take his eyes off Dimitri.

A wide smile was clearly imprinted on Dimitri's face. Could, right, if he wished it would be like this next time with Liliana. He hated to fight, especially when it came to Liliana. He made many mistakes, and everything he did was not enough to pay for his guilt.

“You can call me, baby. My work was quite a lot, so I have to go home late today.”

Liliana was just silent, she raised her face to look at Dimitri. What kind of husband and wife are awkward with each other, even though their marriage age is more than six months.

“Someone you want to eat?” ask Dimitri again.

“I cooked earlier, but it may have been cold..,”.

Dimitri held back Liliana's body that would rise from her seat. “You sit down, let me cook the food.”

Liliana could only stare at her husband in confusion as well as amazement. Today he really wanted to cook something for Dimitri and then eat together, and he himself could not resist that desire.

It seems that the baby is very understanding of how the condition of both parents to have many desires like this, which indirectly closer the relationship between the two. Even in an awkward atmosphere. I don't know when it's gonna end, but I hope it doesn't. Both of them needed this reason to let go of their mutual longing.

Liliana walked towards the kitchen to see Dimitri who had started heating the food one by one. There is chicken soup, fried fish, lalapan and also sambal. It was just a simple meal, but Dimitri knew how his wife's business was to be able to create this much food.

I don't know how much more regret Dimitri will feel if for the umpteenth time he lost Liliana again. It was not his desire to always be with Evelyn, that woman who was very vociferously approaching him. Dimitri also knew the husband of the woman.

Dimitri smiled at Liliana who was already standing next to him. Had to wait for Liliana to crave until Dimitri could feel this crunching feeling. Ever since that woman appeared, her life had already been a complete mess. Dimitri removed the distance between them, then gently kissed the wife's forehead. Only at a time like this could Dimitri show how much he loved Liliana.

Liliana closed her eyes to enjoy the touch, her body still stiffened from her husband. Dimitri also felt what his wife was feeling, slowly he lowered his kiss towards Liliana's lips.

This is Dimitri's opium, which makes him unable to let Liliana off. Since Liliana received Dimitri again, things have not gone so easily either. Even now, it feels like he still continues to struggle to get the heart of Liliana completely, and also his trust.

Dimitri knew very well that the trust in Liliana was almost erased because of what she did now. No problem, Dimitri will keep trying. He loved Liliana very much, and will continue like that until later.

**

The day was still running as usual, there were only files, reports that he had not checked everything, and also a laptop that lit up in front of him. It's very boring, but if you remember what happened last night, the smile appeared by itself on Dimitri's lips.

Dimitri is very grateful for Liliana's pregnancy, besides they will be prospective parents, a lot of Liliana's wishes concern her. The phone on his desk suddenly rang, resuscitating Dimitri from his momentary thoughts.

“Dimitri.”

No greeting ‘halo’ if Dimitri is in the office. It's a little cold when it's working, and it's rare to smile. Not to look cool, he just wants his men to be a little professional and better at it

works. If there is a team dinner, Dimitri will turn into a warm and friendly figure. It's like that, hasn't it, long ago?

For about a minute Dimitri spoke on the phone, after which he immediately closed the connection. The nightmare will start again soon. Who else if not Evelyn. The woman always came to her office suddenly to ask for a report on the project she was working on, and always asked Dimitri to attend.

It was just a marketing project of an apartment building being built by a company owned by Evelyn's husband. With reason to monitor the work of Dimitri's men, Evelyn could always come to Dimitri's office.

Don't ask about Evelyn's husband. The man always agreed with everything the wife asked for, and was completely unsuspecting about what the wife was doing out there. Because that guy also has a stash out there. So, they were a couple who were troubled in the eyes of others, but were fine in their eyes.

Surya was already sitting in the meeting room along with some of his team members. “You want me to take care of that woman?” surya asked in a whisper.

With a full gaze asking for help, Surya nodded his head in understanding. Lucky Surya who works with Dimitri, imagine what will happen with him. Evelyn could have done things beyond anyone's expectations.

The meeting only lasted for thirty minutes, because it was not the meeting that should have been. The woman was just making an excuse to re-launch the action in front of Dimitri. Surya makes excuses to take Evelyn out of the office, which the woman happily agrees to without a meaningful refusal.

Dimitri could sigh with some relief, at least he could avoid the bad things today. Let's’a say that tomorrow can be better than today and he doesn't need to see Evelyn anymore.

His office door was back on tap, and Riki—secretary Dimitri— appeared from behind the door. “Sorry, sir, there are guests who would like to meet with Mr.”

Dimitri nodded his head. Yeah, I hope this isn't another bad thing. “Wah, I think you are more successful than before, yes?”

Dimitri looked up, and found Richard at the door with both hands in his pants. Okay, not too bad. Maybe his best friend wanted to apologize for taking his wife out the other day.

“You also seem to be trying to make it look cooler than me now,” said Dimitri with a slanted smile.

Dimitri got up from his chair and allowed Richard to sit on the sofa where he could receive guests. “What business are you in Jakarta?” ask Dimitri.

Richard laughed at such a sudden question. Dimitri should have asked him the news first, or made small talk like an old friend. “You don't like my presence here.”

There was no sign of enmity between them, just a joke as usual. There was no grudge between the two, the problems that happened in the past they had never discussed again.

“I miss your wife, because I met Liliana yesterday, now I find you to be fair,” said Richard amusedly. He was very much waiting for how Dimitri reacted, because it was like his own entertainment for him to see the annoyed face of Dimitri.

“Suppose I'm in a good mood again, so I won't have a problem. You guys were friends at first, right?”

“If you forget, Nabila once betrothed me to Liliana.”

There was no answer from Dimitri, although Richard had no hidden intent with the sentence, Dimitri was still upset if he remembered that. Dimitri finally shrugged his shoulders as if nothing had happened.

“So?”

“I just happened to stop by around here, and yeah, let's just say I miss you. You don't miss your handsome friend?”

“I have a wife who can be kangenin every day, why should ngangenin you?” reply Dimitri.

The two of them just laughed with their empty chatter. Yes, the friendship of men is far from getting along. It was precisely this kind of thing that made their friendship even stronger. They do not hold grudges, yes, even though they used to hold each other. It was only their past story that ultimately led them in an increasingly better direction.

The more they mature, the more they learn, and that grudge is about their ego alone.

“I hear you again Deket same Evelyn,” said Richard.

Talking about the woman made Dimitri come back moody. Can we remove the woman's name and form so that she is never associated with her again?

“Only for work, a little bit sorry actually because I tried hard to get a job contract. Evelyn it's terrible, if you understand what I mean.”

“And Liliana know?”

Dimitri just nodded his head in a lethargic manner. “You know, right, I'm ready to accept Liliana if she can't handle you anymore?”

Dimitri's gaze was very sharp when Richard said that. “You don't have another woman to make on deketin? You seem very frustrated like because of over time itself,” said Dimitri with annoyance.

Richard seemed to make the right decision coming to see Dimitri, his best friend who was really able to entertain himself with all his jealous nature. Richard did not seriously say that, he knew how to love each other these two lovebirds, so Richard could not casually be in the middle

them.

“I'm sure your eyes will soon be out of place.” Richard patted Dimitri on the shoulder with an amused look that did not disappear from his face.

“You know, this handsome face of mine can beat you, so how about a little help? Consider it your wedding gift.”
