“That matchmaking really happened?” ask Enzo.
One week after their meeting with a man named Brian Dennis Park, and Enzo was still very curious about what happened. About Brian who has never met Elle, there's no way it happened if Brian was really a confidant of Elle's late father. And also about the matchmaking that the man said, in the business world, matchmaking has become commonplace, it is commonplace, but it still feels awkward for Enzo and it almost took up his mind for this one week.
Elle who was checking her work looked up at Enzo, there was no over-lunch because they were going to have a meeting soon. The sandwich was enough to give them energy during the meeting. About that question, Elle didn't even think Enzo would ask that. He didn't even want to talk about it anymore, Brian was a nightmare that had happened in his life.
“What matchmaking?”
It has been decided indirectly if Enzo and Elle will undergo a relationship of superiors and subordinates that is not too official. After knowing Elle's identity and memory two years ago, Enzo felt that he had an invisible bond with Elle, and he did not want to be too formal on Elle. Enzo just wanted to be like that, not really caring if Elle became a little uncomfortable.
As for Elle herself, she would be professional in her work but still put off a formal call when they only discussed the work of the two like this.
“You know what I mean,” Enzo said.
Elle dislikes the topic, discussing Brian, his father, and whatever happens between them just opens up an old story that must be told from the beginning. Enzo wasn't that close to her to tell Elle the bitter story, and there was no reason for Elle to tell it.
“I don't understand at all the meaning of this conversation and also the meeting yesterday, I'm just the daughter of Danuwijaya, I don't understand what happened in it. I'm busy being a spoiled girl as rumored, does that help enough?”
Precisely because Elle knows everything, she does not want more and more to know. Elle doesn't want to get too close to anyone. Please remind Elle to quit this job immediately if her employment contract expires. It seemed that he only had the choice to follow in the footsteps of the Mother, a choice that made him forget about this place and everyone involved in his father's death.
Enzo noticed the change in expression on Elle's face, there was no meaningful change indeed because it seemed like this woman was very good at hiding whatever was in her head. Then, why was Enzo so busy thinking about what this woman was thinking?
“Not enough, I also have to check the background of the man so that I can be sure to withdraw him as an investor.”
“Why go through me? You can ask directly, and again you have a lot of money and connections, are you that stupid?” asked Elle sharply.
Of the many choices of words that exist, Elle actually chose a word that is quite rude to say to superiors, Elle realized that but he also realized if he did not care. Isn't that better? Enzo also just looked a little surprised.
“Did you always say rude like that?” ask Enzo calmly.
Elle just shrugged both shoulders, it would be better if Enzo immediately broke their employment contract, Elle would gladly accept it. “Did I offend you? Are you the sentimental type? Very unsuitable for you.” Elle grinned at what she just said. I don't know why he was happy with his choice of words just now.
A small smile tucked into Enzo's lips. Elle is a woman who is very different from Cecillia and Liliana dullu, maybe it's part of the charm that she has. Is Enzo interested in Elle?
This woman always reminded him of Cecillia, in a good context. Elle is credited with trying to save Enzo in a deepening slump. Maybe Elle won't know about it, but Enzo always remembers those little memories in his memory corner.

Richard looked at Kate who was now in front of him, both of whom had been like that since thirty minutes ago. It was not Richard who requested this meeting, they only accidentally met while the two were choosing clothes in one of the boutiques. An accidental meeting that brought them in the awkward condition they are today.
I don't know who proposed to have a chat before going home, maybe Richard and maybe Kate. Richard had even finished one cup of his black coffee and still no words came out of their lips.
“Are you still here long? I still have another appointment this afternoon,” Richard said. Lying of course.
No appointments were made for this afternoon or today, he just wanted to walk wherever he could to erase the painful memory of Kate, but he met the woman by accident. It's a very annoying thing, because it's not very good for Richard's heart health.
“Ah, i..,”
Richard was still in his place, still waiting faithfully for the next sentence Kate would say. But even two minutes later, no words came out of the woman's lips.
“I...I want to apologize,” Kate said.
“For what?”
Kate raised her face to peek at Richard's reaction, making their eyes meet. It was beyond Kate's expectations, just looking at Richard's face was difficult, how could he look into those beautiful eyes? Kate suddenly hesitated because in such a gaze, she immediately turned her eyes everywhere, as long as not to the man before her.
“Because we have severed our relationship unilaterally,” Kate replied softly.
Maybe if Richard hadn't really looked carefully at Kate, he wouldn't have been able to hear that answer, and now Richard doesn't know how to respond to that sentence. Is there an apology for breaking up a relationship? If anything, this was the first time Richard had heard that phrase.
Richard undoes his intention to leave the place, his legs can not be compromised when looking at Kate. Nabila's sentence yesterday filled his head again, there must be a reason that Richard did not know for the breakup of their current relationship, and Richard wanted to believe it. About the man Richard had seen as well, there must be an explanation for that.
“Because you talked about it, why don't you tell me the real reason? I know there's another reason behind all this,” Richard said.
Kate doesn't take this into account, she thinks Richard already hates her and will just leave her again. But, seeing the man sitting back in his chair made Kate come back relieved for a reason. He was really torturing himself right now.
“What else should I explain? Everything is very clear, right?”
Stupid kate! Inner scream. This should be an opportunity for them to get back together, but why
just that kind of sentence that came out of his mouth? Maybe Kate doesn't want to get Michelle into their problems.
“You're going to let our three years go to waste because of this? At least give me a very logical explanation, and I can walk away from your life forever if that's what you want.”
The two looked at each other again, as if they could find an answer if they had stared at each other like this. “I never loved you from the beginning, Richard. Does that answer satisfy you?”
Not that Richard wanted to reject that answer, he just felt there was something else again and that wasn't the only reason. Richard really felt that. “So, you did play me from the beginning?” ask Richard casually. He tried to relax.
Kate was a little snapped up by the question. “Indeed from the beginning our goal was like that, right? It all started with a bet, how can I believe that too?”
“Well, if that's the real reason, I'll take it. You don't want to see my face again after this, do you? I will grant it, maybe we will meet occasionally for work, the rest I will not appear in front of you.”
Richard this time actually got out of that chair and immediately left the cafe. Just like this, there could be a real reason, but since it was too difficult for Kate to say so, she looked for other alternatives. Richard would have believed that, maybe they should have stayed away for a while.

It has been two months since Nabila's divorce, the woman has returned to living her life well again. She is now working as an editor again in a fashion magazine. Divorce shouldn't make a person worse off, right? That was the beginning to start all over again. Love and men can't destroy Nabila that much, even though it really hurts.
Maybe there are some things that make him sad again, maybe more precisely to be a lot of rethinking again. About Aidan's question when night falls.
“Ma, why don't you stay here again? Aidan misses papa.”
The question came out of Aidan's mouth several times as the night went on and he would sleep. How can Nabila explain everything to a five-year-old? That's the consequence that Nabila must accept, right? But still it always makes him replay the brain again.
Reno's meeting time is set for her children, and that's once a week. Reno will meet her children on Saturday through Sunday if Aidan asks to stay overnight with Reno. Nabila will not be evil if it concerns his children, the divorce was not at all regretted by Nabila, it should have happened. For the part of his children who are victims, it is a risk, and must be accepted no matter what the circumstances.
“Aidan, right, always meet Papa every Saturday,” said soft Nabila.
Aidan would puckered his lips if it were like that. “Aidan want to kayak first, go with Papa and Mama again, Aidan also misses sleeping with you. Aidan doesn't like kayak gini.”
Nabila will add a night routine like this to his activities before going to bed, the article talks like this will happen every night. Aidan seemed not bored when he had to ask the same question over and over, and Nabila would also return patiently to explain to Aidan.
“Aidan want to sleep with Mama?” ask Nabila.
“Who will take care of Alya if Aidan sleeps with Mama?”
The room for Aidan and Alya is indeed one, and it is located side by side with the room that Nabila occupies. There is a door that will connect their rooms, so there is no need to go out to see the condition of their two children at night. Nabila just wanted to get used to his two children sleeping alone, although Nabila could have brought the two children to sleep together in his room. The bed feels empty at the moment.
Back that smile came up on Nabila's face. “Later Saturday we meet Papa, yes?”
Aidan nodded his head in excitement, and a smile that re-emerged happily. I smiled just to see the sight. After making sure his two children slept well, he turned off the room lights and opened the door that connects to his room.
She let out the breath she had been holding since. Like this, huh, it's like being a stump mom? When he was not complaining, he was just trying to imagine whatever came into his mind. Divorce, infidelity, children, single mothers, he seems to have returned to worry both parents with this big decision he took.
The decision he made, although very correct, sometimes overwhelmed him a little. During these two months he has gone through everything well, he did not want to give up so easily and handed his two children to his parents for treatment. It would be very unfair for Aidan and Alya, because he has to take responsibility for this decision.
When she fell on the floor, her body was still leaning against the door, her room continued. He also could not sleep quietly all this time, the nights he lived so far were very scary. He never slept for one night, in addition to doing his work, he was also very difficult to close his eyes. Shadow
about Reno is still always present, all their happy memories, to their bad memories. Everything was racing in his head.
No, he's not crying. There had been enough crying all this time, and he also did not plan to re-add his list of grief with roaring cries every night. Crying was a relief for his heart, but too much crying would also make him tired. Nabila just stared at the whole room with
empty view, maybe he had to think of other options to rent an apartment, this house is too big for him and also a lot of memories in this house.
This house was Reno's wedding gift to Nabila, and she gave it to Nabila. There was no dispute over the property they had when the divorce trial began, they also had a pre-marital agreement, which had been made since the beginning of their marriage. This house stands in the name of Nabila, and Reno who relented on Nabila then gave it to Nabila.
Remind Nabila later to find an apartment for him, he does not want to be in this house longer. Maybe he will sell it later, he also does not want to be here longer. The memories that lived here were all very beautiful, but already tainted with bad memories of betrayal. Nabila could not remember the beautiful memories again because of that mistake.
