#19. Back Again
Hi, I'm sorry I'm late, I didn't forget about Monday. I didn't write yesterday, so I couldn't update this morning. As always, drop your sigh here ya :) Happy reading!
After a flight of about sixteen hours, Liliana and Dimitri arrived in Jakarta. The long journey was a little uncomfortable for the Eagle who had not even a year. Liliana didn't want a flight with Dimitri, but in the end they were on the same plane.
No one knew about Liliana's return, including Nabila. Maybe later he will surprise his friend, another reason, he does not want many who question this very sudden return.
“I will return to my apartment, you can do the usual work, no need to bother about me and Eagle,” Liliana said.
Their divorce files have been entered into the Religious Court, Liliana ascertained it herself with the lawyer she appointed, and to reject all forms of mediation offered by the Court. It looks like sooner is better, they shouldn't be together after all the pain they've left behind.
“Yes, I accept all your decisions.”
They were driving to Liliana's apartment, the apartment she had before her marriage to Dimitri, lucky that she had not sold the apartment. Along the way was also very quiet, the Eagle who usually chattered a lot was also sleeping. There was no topic they could talk about on the sidelines of this trip.
Dimitri was also more silent, he knew what he was facing, disappointed because in the end he could not maintain the household he had been building. He was involved in giving Liliana pain and a storm in their household, so, he deserved it all.
“You want to stop by? I have something to talk to you about,” pinto Liliana.
Liliana went down first with the Eagle in her cradle, only one suitcase she had brought from Germany, most of which was Eagle gear. I don't know, maybe he will return to Germany again, not because of Enzo's sentence the other day, he thought Jakarta would not fit him. Likewise with the idea of living with his parents, even though there is a desire that too.
Eventually Dimitri follows Liliana to her apartment, wondering what Liliana will talk about. Clearly, it was not a desire to be referred, they were just waiting for an invitation from the Court.
Liliana's apartment room is still the same since the first time she left, there are people who clean this apartment room regularly, so there is no need to be afraid of dust that may be attached to each furniture. There was no desire to sell or rent this apartment, he preferred it to be his own.
Dimitri waited in the living room while waiting for Liliana to put the Eagle to sleep in his room, he still kept memories when he came to this apartment. It's not easy to enter Liliana's most private room when we're not what she wants. Before marriage, Dimitri had promised not to hurt the woman again, he would not do it because the effort he needed to return to meluhkan heart was very heavy.
But, it turns out that everything is not going well. The love story does not end when we have married the woman we love, it is only the beginning of the true love story. The whole storm to test how strongly our love begins to emerge, not just the love we need, there is trust, commitment, communication, and cooperation from both sides to last until the end.
“What do you want to drink?” ask Liliana.
Dimitri turned his body to stare at Liliana, every time he looked at this woman, there was a pain that still had not been able to disappear from his heart. Is it because he loves her too much? Why hurt if you love too much?
“What aja.” Dimitri sat down on the sofa that was nearby.
Shortly afterwards, Liliana brought two glasses of orange juice from the kitchen and served it on the table. Liliana had thought things through before returning with Dimitri, she wanted to talk to Dimitri in an unemotional atmosphere.
“I want to know, why are you doing this? Our divorce, why did you fake it?” ask Liliana.
Dimitri's gaze turned to the orange juice in front of him, everything he did at that time was really an act he did accidentally. Even before Dimitri signed the letter, Liliana had already left him. The worry he had could not be contained anymore, if their relationship really ended, then there would be no more ties between them. It's like that, only, Dimitri can't let it go like that. He wanted, wherever Liliana was, Dimitri was still a part of him. Even without the woman's knowledge.
“We don't want this divorce, I just hope we can get back together again. I want to go back to being the wound healer I created.”
“What if it hurts me more?”
“I don't take that into account at all, I just think we can heal each other if this relationship hasn't been severed.”
Liliana silent. After all, this divorce also hurt her, but if they were to get back together, would everything go back to how it was? Can they still stare lovingly when they get back together? He knows that selfish people are not needed here, there are eagles among them, and that's no small thing.
He wanted his son to grow up in a complete and harmonious family, with them divorced, how would his son's life be?

“And now you are sure of your decision?” ask Nabila.
Liliana really surprised Nabila by appearing in front of Nabila's house that afternoon. Reno was doing a seminar outside the city, so Nabila and her two children were just accompanied by the Aunt who used to help take care of the house and also sometimes prepare all the needs of both toddlers Nabila.
“Yes, I'm sure.”
Eagles are sleeping with both children Nabila because it is time to take a nap, after eating their lunch.
“I absolutely do not know if your divorce never happened, your lawyer even already mastiin if you are officially divorced.”
“I know.”
Who in this world wants to part with his partner, especially if the bond is already sacred like marriage. Basically Liliana did not want this divorce either, much of which she thought about for her future, but she could not look at Dimitri in the same way. He could not smile freely and looked at Dimitri lovingly as before, when Liliana looked at him, there was only pain there. And that adds to his burden.
“If this is the best for you, never show your sad face. At least you have to smile again and rise for the sake of the Eagle,” said Nabila.
“What is your next plan?”
“Maybe go back to Mom's house, after that I might go back to Germany. I don't think I can stay here much longer.”
“You know, right, if I'll always be here to hear all your stories, don't feel alone.”
Liliana smiled at Nabila, her best friend always knows what is best for her, and is always more understanding than anyone. Why is her love story like this? Finding the one who really understands himself is no longer able, how does he maintain what he has now?
The sadness sometimes still slipped in his heart, how hard he tried to cover up all the sadness. He wants everything to pass, he wants to take this as part of learning to get stronger to face bigger challenges. While we are still breathing in this world, while our heart is still
beating on the same heart, the pain will remain.
If later, they meet again with a completely new heart, and the pain of their past has been erased by time, Liliana will not matter if she will return to love. Let time decide where his heart will dock again, at this time he just wants to lean on himself who has tried hard. Later, whoever wins his heart back, he will give it up completely.

Things that Katherine never expected would happen in her life, actually this will happen to her and she has also let go. He entered the company of his father based in Berlin, and would learn from the beginning about business and managerial. He had learned it first when he was in college, now what is needed is direct practice in a real company.
Imagine a stack of files to be learned, and trapped in a narrow room—when the width—for a time that cannot be specified. He must do this so that the father does not re-match himself with the child of his colleagues. Dad's choice may be the best, but Katherine won't be that easy to get along with a new guy. He was a bit choosy about romance.
Sure enough, that afternoon, Katherine didn't even want to go out to enjoy her lunch. How can he enjoy, if his work has not been completed? Maybe this is karma because it has underestimated Enzo so far, the man must have been trying very hard, let alone many employees who are under his leadership.
Katherine will retract all the insults she made to Enzo, she does not want to get more karma.
“Excuse me, Frau, the man Herr Anthony suggested has arrived,” said Katherine's very young secretary. Probably still in the middle twenty.
Know what's even funnier? Kaherine's father decided to find someone who was already an expert in his field to specifically teach Katherine to understand the ins and outs of managerial. And that's a man, Katherine doesn't know that her father might set a trap by subtly setting her up.
Katherine waited patiently for the man her secretary meant, her father's choice was always right, but she hoped this man would only get fed up with her after a few dates. Katherine really couldn't have imagined such a thing.
Shortly after the man entered the spacious room, Katherine's eyes were rounded. How's that guy there? How could that man be what the father meant? Does that man know his family? What was the name of that man yesterday? Richard, right?
“Do I have to call this another coincidence?” ask Richard.
And now the foreign man will help him to understand everything about the ins and outs of the company, after the last time the man so presumptuously kissed him. Yes, Katherine also enjoyed it, although it was short, she should not enjoy it when everything was not clear. And now, this guy is here, in a full suit and looks dashing and delicious. Wait a minute, delicious? It seems like there's too much thought in Katherine's brain.
“How can you be here?” ask Katherine lirih.
Richard's existence completely weakened the feminist spirit in Katherine, it shouldn't be like this. He should behave as a woman who sells expensive, he must save his image first before finally completely falling into all the charm of Richard.
“Maybe it's fate, you don't seem to like this idea, or are you just too fascinated with me?”
What if two human beings who have very big and stubborn egos, then meet and fall in love, just a sense of prestige hinders their feelings from developing. Not as complicated as other love stories, but if they do not intend to lower their respective prestige, then all of it will be equally difficult.
“You think I'm that stupid? What happened to my father? You threatening him or something? I've never known you as one of my father's colleague's children.” Katherine had returned to her consciousness to not be too late in Richard's charm.
Richard spread his shoulders indifferently, for him this was quite an interesting game. Katherine is a very stubborn woman and avoids men even though her lifestyle is very free. It was a plus in Richard's assessment, I don't know, just to challenge him to try and if he was lucky, maybe he could win the woman's heart.
“What is important? I'm here to help you, you can ask me as much.”
Katherine threw her gaze at the file that was scattered on her desk, everything was very messy and she needed help, but not Richard. If the concern really happened, this man could be one of the candidates for Katherine's future husband. His father's mind was very easy to read.
“Unfortunately I don't need you, you can just get out. Tell my dad I don't need any help at all.”
Sure enough, as Richard had expected, Katherine would reject him outright. A look of surprise and adoration when he had just entered the room the woman immediately yawned in place with a flat look, which made Richard widen his smile even more and more want to fight to get the heart of this woman.
“I don't think it will be that easy,” said Richard. Unasked, he walked to Katherine's desk, circled the table, and stood beside the chair Katherine was sitting on. He lowered his head to align with Katherine's gaze, which of course was on purpose.
Katherine knew what was going on, if she moved her head just a little, then she would be lucky to kiss Richard's lips or cheeks. The idea was very tempting, but Katherine immediately dismissed the thought. He must not be outdone by this man's charm which is so intoxicating to him.
“You better stay away from near me, I can call security anytime,” Katherine said. His voice was even very supportive of what was happening to his heart, beating erratically and nervous.
“You're nervous.”
Katherine held her breath, how could there still be a man capable of making her this kind of heart gymnastics?
