Reynald the CEO

Chapter 74

A few days later the day came when Anggi had to return to Abu Dhabi. He was escorted by Hendra, The Father to the airport. Along the way to the airport he only looked at every corner of the city of Jakarta that He passed. Record everything in his hometown.

"I will visit you next month" said Hendra disperse Anggi's daydreams.

Anggi turned towards Hendra and looked at him with a frown.

"Isn't that too soon? Usually Dad's gonna see me once every 6 months".

"Both of Rashaad's parents invited me to come to their family's corporate birthday party. Of course I have to attend to fulfill his invitation". Hendra.

"Until then, I hope you think well of the continuation of your relationship with Rashaad. I will not force my will. Because only you know how happy you are"

Anggi pensively heard Hendra's speech. He leaned on his father's shoulder and grabbed the middle-aged man's arm with a smile on his lips.

It did not feel the car that was driven by Anggi and Hendra had reached the airport. The driver got out of the car immediately when he stopped at the airport drop point. He dropped 3 of Anggi's suitcases from the trunk of the car.

"You park first. If I'm done, I'll call you". Hendra told the driver.

"Good, Master". The driver nodded politely and immediately said goodbye.

There is still about 1 hour left until departure time. Anggi who have checked in through online become quite free not to rush. Both of them walked to the waiting area. Anggi should be able to wait in the lounge provided specifically for first class passengers and business class. But because Hendra could not enter the lounge area, then Anggi chose to sit in the outside area.

Anggi's phone suddenly rang loudly. He immediately reached into his small bag and saw the caller id on the screen. Anggi immediately pressed the green button.

"Hello, Ma'am"

"Where are you? I was in Terminal 3 but I didn't find you. Are you in A, B, C or where?"

Anggi chuckled softly as Renata unceremoniously threw out a question just like that.

"Of course Mama hasn't seen me. I just got here. Now I'm in...."

"Aunty Anggi!!!"

I heard a scream from behind. Anggi and Hendra turned around and saw a smiling Jessy running towards him.

Jessy without awkward just hugged Anggi's body. The little girl then raised her head to look at Anggi.

"Entertainment! Why didn't you tell me that Aunty's coming home today?"

Anggi stared at Renata with a look of confusion.

"sorry. He heard my conversation with Reynald. He kept whining about coming with me to the airport" Sahut Renata felt guilty.

Anggi smiled and looked down at Jessy who was still hugging her. Anggi immediately squatted to align his body with the charming little girl. He smiled warmly as he held Jessy's shoulders.

"I'm sorry Aunty didn't tell you yes"

Jessy put on a sullen face. The little girl opened her mouth. "Will aunty come back here? Daddy said Aunty wouldn't come back"

Anggi. Why is Reynald being so forthright with his little girl?

Anggi gave a warm smile. He tried to string together sentences that can be understood and accepted by Jessy.

"I love Aunty" Jessy said plainly.

"Said Daddy I was overreacting. But only Aunty my friend plays barbie"

"Mommy or Aunty Renata never even played barbie with me" said Jessy, who made Renata misbehave and smiled clumsily as Anggi glanced at her.

Oh Gosh.. Why don't I have the heart for this innocent little girl?

Anggi sat up while looking at Jessy who was putting on a gloomy face.

"I love you too, Jes. Even though we've only spent time together twice, but you're a nice little girl"

"You can visit me whenever you want. So don't be sad". Anggi stroked Jessy's cheeks gently.

Jessy nodded her head. The little girl turned to look at Renata.

"Aunty Ren, where's that barbie doll I put in Aunty's bag?" Jessy asked Renata.

Renata reaches into her bag and pulls out a barbie and hands it to Jessy. The little girl stared briefly at the barbie in her hand and thrust it towards Anggi.

"This Barbie is my favorite barbie. This is the first Barbie Daddy bought me. But now for Aunty alone"

Anggi hesitantly accepts the Barbie doll given by Jessy. "Why did you give it to me that this is your favorite Barbie?"

"Because Aunty is my friend. Daddy always said I should love my friends"

Anggi felt filled to hear the plain speech of a small child whose heart was still very pure. Anggi grabbed Jessy into his arms and stroked her head gently.

"Thank you for assuming Aunty is your friend. Do you want to know 1 secret?". Anggi asked after stalling his embrace.

Jessy nodded.

Anggi brought her lips closer to Jessy's ear and whispered.

"You're Aunty's first friend". Said Anggi while chuckling slowly.

Hearing Anggi's whisper just makes Jessy smile wide.

"When we meet again, Jes. You have to obey your Daddy and Mommy. Okay?" Anggi thrusts her little finger towards Jessy.

Jessy also linked her little finger with Anggi's little finger while the two threw a warm smile at each other.

Until the time comes Anggi must immediately get into the plane. He immediately said goodbye to Hendra and Renata and soon passed to the passenger area.

On the plane that had taken off thirty minutes ago, Anggi who was in business class was staring at the barbie doll given by Jessy. He smiled when he saw an initial J engraved on the barbie's back.

Anggi sighed softly and turned to look at the plane window which as far as the eye could see only the white expanse of the initial blob.

Anggi pensively recalled his conversation the other day with Reynald.

"I will not make you third. It never will. Because I'm gonna make you the only one".

Anggi stared at Reynald sharply. "I'm a woman. If you leave your wife only to be with me, I will not! You hurt the heart of the woman who gave birth to your child just to be with another woman. Does that make sense, Rey?"

Reynald is putting on his rough hair. The man's face looked very frustrated.

"Start from the beginning with your wife. You loved her before you met me, right? Then grow that love in your heart so that there is not even a little room for me"

Not in undeniable Anggi heart also hurt when saying like that to Reynald. Something like squeezing his heart firmly.

"Why is it that easy for you to tell me to do that? Only I know where I am and who I am with! You don't have the capacity to control someone's heart"

Anggi rubbed his wet cheeks and took a slow breath trying to control himself.

"Rey... The situation between us is very complicated. Many will be hurt if you and I only think about the happiness of both of us. I'm not forbidding you to love me. It just doesn't have to always end up together, does it?"

Reynald moved closer to Anggi. The man stabbed Anggi right into the bead of his eye.

"Do you think that love doesn't have to have each other? Just see you smile happily and my heart is happy? Is that what you mean?"

"Omong empty! Everyone wants to have the person they love! Always wanted to be by her side, watching her wake up early and fall asleep all night on the side. It's hard for me to love someone but not have them"

Anggi stunned unable to answer anything. He just stared at Reynald's nanar with a cry.

"Why can you love me like this?"

Reynald shook his head slowly.

"I have no reason to realize that if I love you, then I have no reason to stop loving you"

"I love you without any doubt"

"Go if you have to go. I won't hold you back now. But it is not your domain to govern my heart and happiness. Wait for me"

•••

Anggi sighed as he recalled Reynald's sad face that night. The look in the man's eyes implied great earnestness as well as a sense of despair.

Anggi propped up his chin with his hands while looking at the white cloud.

Why in this world should there be a word of love? Anggi deepens in the heart.
