Hi, it's Thursday, isn't it? ;)
Happy reading^^^^
Today is Liliana's schedule for teaching business classes at the Indonesian Embassy in Frankfurt. Although it is certainly different between business classes in Frankfurt and Indonesia, Liliana gradually understands what the obstacles of these students are, and Liliana did not mind to explain again to the students in between her free time like this.
There were only five students who studied with Liliana, as she could not re-teach to a great capacity. All of that he did for free, because the main goal is to help students who have difficulty learning. If you are at the Embassy, Liliana will bring along the Eagle, because no one objected also to the presence of the adorable baby.
“I think I can graduate with perfect grades this semester, thanks to the teachings of our very beautiful sister Liliana,” said Anton. The student who really likes to tease Liliana, and also has a flamboyant aura that is very noticeable.
“You have to prove it, Anton, so my efforts are not in vain,” Liliana said with a big smile.
“I'm not sure I, as he joined this class just want to ngecengin Kak Lili aja,” timpal Airin. She is a student from Jakarta who is very thin ceplos, but has a very good heart.
Liliana just laughed at the young interaction before her, she seemed to recall her precious college days. Although his friend was not much at that time, but he also felt things like that. Visiting the Embassy makes his longing for both parents deepened.
He was tired of running, he was tired of the life he was living, he was tired if he had to meet Dimitri constantly even though he did not want to. His meeting back with Dimitri yesterday managed to make it like this, that melancholic feeling always stopped by his body. He thought he would never see the man again, but he did.
If you think back, college is the best time of his life. The burden of his mind is only about the confusion of finding a job, or how to survive when we do not want to burden both parents. There's never a romantic story that pops into his head, maybe there, but it's so small and undetectable.
Maybe because he loved Dimitri too much, until now it still feels crowded. He loved the man with all his heart, and wished that he was the last, but things never went as he had hoped.
“Kak, we go first, huh? Thanks for the class today.”
Liliana's daydream was cut off from hearing that line, she immediately smiled and waved her hand at the five students. This was his day off, and not every holiday he taught, only when his students had time. Liliana tidied up her luggage, the day was quite twilight, and she had to take her child first which she had left to one of the staff who always looked after her when Liliana was teaching.
“You can continue this work alone, rather than you being a saleswoman. I think this is more suitable with your previous work background and also your education,” said Sarah. He was a staff who also guarded the Eagle, and was quite familiar with Liliana's presence.
“I don't think anymore, Sar,” Liliana said with a laugh.
After saying thank you, Liliana immediately walked out to go home. Maybe he'll just have dinner outside. The spring breeze hit his gentle face as he stepped out of the building, soon spring was over and would be replaced by summer.
Liliana could have bought a car as her vehicle, but she did not do that and preferred public transport. It is very unfortunate if Liliana has to miss this fresh air by being trapped in the car. The eagle in his carrier was already slumbering because it was active since earlier, his age had entered the eighth month and was actively moving.
“Lili!”
Liliana turned her face, then found Enzo who was standing next to her car with a big smile. They were not in any relationship, they were only close by themselves because of Dimitri's presence. Ah, Dimitri's.

That afternoon, for the umpteenth time, Dimitri's face stiffened again when he saw the scene before him. Liliana and the man she had met the other day, who was the woman's lover. When he decided to go back to Liliana after he returned to Frankfurt, he had expected all this, only he did not know that it would be this painful.
Yeah, they're divorced, there's no right Dimitri has to forbid his ex-wife from having a boyfriend. But, it's not wrong if he feels jealous, right? Since the beginning, this divorce was her fault.
“Oh, you again,” said Enzo friendly.
Dimitri only gave his faint smile to this man. Yes, he admitted this man was handsome, although not as handsome as he was. I don't know how many women have been successfully subdued by this man, because Dimitri is very sure that this man is also one of the female players. Okay, maybe it's just a form of disappointment and jealousy Dimitri alone, until he has that absurd opinion.
“What do you need?” ask Liliana. He tried his best to look ordinary before Dimitri for the umpteenth time.
“I just stopped by,” replied Dimitri. “I have a job around here, so I will settle in Frankfurt for a while.”
Liliana was shocked, did this answer Evelyn's presence in the store earlier? Are they still in contact to this day? Or are they married without Liliana's knowledge? But, even if it happened, it wasn't a big thing for Liliana. Marriage or not is their right, they are divorced.
“Ah, really? Hope you feel at home here,” said Liliana. Unexpectedly, his life must have been unsettled by this man's presence, which meant he had to stay with Enzo to keep Dimitri from approaching him. But it can't be like this, can it?
Enzo who was aware of the awkward aura between them, tried to melt the situation down. She gently squeezed Liliana's waist, she knew this was a little impolite, but when she saw this woman in a state of confusion and pretended to be strong when she met this man, she knew it was a bit impolite, the corner of his heart was screaming to help this woman.
Later if Liliana will demand all her actions, Enzo will resign. “Honey, it looks like we have to hurry,” said Enzo.
Liliana looked at Enzo with a faint smile. “We excuse us first,” said Liliana.
Just like that, Liliana left Dimitri for the second time after their divorce. It didn't matter when Dimitri was hurt because of that, he deserved it, it just felt so stifling. He didn't even have time to feel the pain anymore.
It was the worst afternoon she had ever felt, and it was always Liliana who was able to make her feel all of those things. It was the first day when he came back to Frankfurt for the job—Liliana—and the welcome he got was incredible. How will he live for the next three months?
“Dimitri?”
Dimitri looked up at the voice, hoping that the one who had just called him was Liliana, but that was highly unlikely. Guess who called him? He has no friends here, only his secretary, and maybe his client's staff.
“Evelyn?”
“Reacted to be you,” said the woman with a big smile. “Gotly thought to meet you here.”
Liliana is here too. What a remarkable coincidence, right?
There was no response given Dimitri, he just sipped his coffee that was cold because he had spent a daydreaming and thinking about Liliana. If this woman were here too, her life would have been very unsettled.
“I'm sorry for not contacting, my situation at the time was not possible to contact anyone. I'm afraid my husband's anger will further complicate you.” Evelyn immediately sat down on the chair that was in front of Dimitri without being asked..
If Dimitri had known in the first place about Evelyn's cunning, he would not have accepted any business request. Even with the reason her husband asked for all that, yes, it was his fault from the beginning. Said ‘if’ had not even been able to calm him down.
“It would be better if we didn't see each other again.”
Evelyn was a little surprised by the response Dimitri gave, even her face was very flat. This was a rare opportunity to meet Dimitri by accident, so he would not let this opportunity just disappear.
“Why not? Are we not divorced together? You can meet me on business, or personal. I'll be happy to help.”
Dimitri did not understand the way this woman thought, even though Dimitri was not married, he would not choose a woman like this to accompany him. There was only Liliana in his heart at any moment.

“I'll be in Berlin for one week,” said Enzo.
Liliana looked at Enzo with raised eyebrows. “You're not asking for my permission, are you?” ask Liliana in amusement. Their relationship has not gone that far to ask each other for permission to do something.
Enzo laughs. When he was told to finish another job in Berlin, the first person who came to his mind was Liliana. It's a little silly indeed, he didn't even tell Katherine for something like this.
“I'm just telling you, so if you miss me, you don't need to be confused looking for me.” Enzo blinked one eye at Liliana.
Inevitably Liliana smiled because of that. Enzo was always able to make her smile because of such little things, and Liliana was always grateful for that. A little happiness like this was precious to him, he always emphasized that to himself. He again fed the Eagle who had been sitting sweetly in the special chair of his baby, lucky there is baby food that is also sold in this restaurant.
“What about the man when I was in Berlin?”
Dimitris. For a moment Liliana had even forgotten that name, then the fact that the man was going to do the work here hit her again. At least the guy will stay here for a long time, it's really not good for him. But, he also can't count on Enzo for good, in the end, he also has to face the man alone.
“What is he? I don't care about that guy, you can go to Berlin in peace. We are just old friends.”
Enzo knew that was not what Liliana meant, he always found Liliana stiffening immediately when looking at the man from a considerable distance. They are not just old friends, Enzo is very sure with his opinion this time, but he knows enough to not cross the line and ask about the personal problems of this woman.
“Or you can come with me to Berlin,” said Enzo.
Liliana rounded her eyes looking at Enzo. This guy must be kidding, right?
“I'm just kidding, why is your face so serious?” enzo asked with amusement.
Liliana immediately turned her face to hear Enzo's words earlier, the cry of the Eagle also made her turn her face away. The baby food in front of her son was also gone. There is a strange habit in the possession of his little son, he will fall asleep after eating his food. And it seems like she wants to sleep if she's crying like this.
“What's up?” ask Enzo to worry. “Does he need anything?”
“She just wants to sleep, it's her habit like this.”
“You want me to carry it? We can go home after that.”
“Ah, no need, I don't want to trouble you.”
Enzo immediately handed his wallet to Liliana. “You pay for the food, I'll carry the Eagle.”
“Tapi—“
Without waiting for Liliana to finish her speech, Enzo immediately picked up the Eagle who was still crying and hugged the tiny baby in her chest. He never learned to calm a baby or even put a baby to sleep, maybe if you fuck a woman, he did it first.
In the end Liliana followed Enzo's orders, her son bahhkan had calmed down in Enzo's arms. Things are very rare, even for Liliana herself takes time to make this son calm down.
“What has he slept?” ask Liliana. He has completed the payment at the cashier with the wallet that Enzo gave him earlier. All of these things further added to his bad taste to this man, he had already helped Liliana quite a lot for everything.
“We're home now.”
Liliana immediately picked up her bag, then walked beside Enzo who was holding the Eagle. “You can give me if your hands are sore, the weight of the Eagle has recently increased,” said Liliana worried.
“I can even carry you at once if you want, Eagle is nothing to me,” Enzo replied with a smile. For him who never held a baby, Eagle is quite heavy and makes his hands ache, how can this woman survive carrying his son all day?
“Why is your face flushed?” ask Enzo again. The eagle was not an obstacle at all for her to enjoy the reddened face of Liliana beside her, she silently smiled looking at the incident.
Enzo's steps stopped when he was about to enter the elevator, as well as Liliana, his smile also instantly faded. He meets Dimitri again, but this time there is another woman next to him. So Liliana's thinking was right, Evelyn was here with Dimitri.
