Second Woman

Meet Mama Rafa

Tiara was still silent at Mama Rafa's question, she did not understand what made Mama Rafa ask her like that.

"Why did Aunt suddenly ask like that? if sister Maya heard him she would definitely misunderstand," asked Tiara who was reluctant to answer Mama Rafa's question.

"Why do you think about Maya so much, Tiara?are you two really so close apart from being Maya's client?" mama Rafa asked.

"Tiara had faced a very complicated family problem, aunty and sister Maya, who helped Tiara to get out of the Tiara family problem" Tiara replied.

"That's just part of Tiara's job, she should be doing what's best for her clients, so you don't have to be too indebted to Maya" said Mama Rafa.

"There's actually something aunty wants to tell you" continued Mama Rafa.

"What's Auntie doing?" ask Tiara.

"Rafa and Maya are divorced, Tiara," said Mama Rafa, to Tiara's surprise.

"Divorce?" tiara didn't believe it.

"Yes, they parted on their own accord, although maybe this is not the thing Maya wanted but it was the best decision Rafa could have taken" Mama Rafa replied.

"So Rafa divorced Maya's sister?" tiara asked who was so surprised to hear Mama Rafa's words.

"It was Rafa who divorced Maya, many of the facts they hid that Auntie just knew Tiara and from all of those facts the aunt could no longer petrify maintaining their marriage, so aunt let Rafa divorce Maya."

Tiara fell silent again, not expecting Rafa and Maya to be divorced. Previously he thought if maybe Rafa had been devastated on Maya's efforts to make Rafa love him, but it turns out Rafa instead divorced Maya.

"You must be surprised by what aunt said, the aunt was also surprised by all the facts that happened at the wedding of Rafa and Maya," said Mama Rafa.

"Did you know anything about Tiara's relationship?" mama Rafa asked.

Tiara remained silent for a while, she could not possibly tell Mama Rafa about what she knew about Rafa's relationship with Maya.

"Tiara only knows that if sister Maya loves Rafa very much, sister Maya even tried to be a good wife for sister Rafa, that's all Tiara knows Auntie," replied Tiara.

"It looks like you're pretty close to Rafa, you even call him big brother" said Mama Rafa, who made Tiara realize that she had misnamed Rafa in front of Mama Rafa.

"Sorry Aunt, I mean Tiara sir Rafa," said Tiara who made Mama Rafa smile thinly.

"What's your relationship really close? Aunty thinks you only know the Son but it turns out you know Rafa outside of work, too" asked Mama Rafa.

"North..... Tiara is only close as a superior and subordinate aunt, because previously Tiara had worked in the cafe Pak Rafa and before that Mr. Rafa was a Tiara lecturer on campus, so Tiara had known Mr. Rafa longer than Brother Putra," Tiara replied giving an excuse.

"Why did you hide it Tiara? Have you forgotten Rafa? is it because Rafa has let you down too much?" mama Rafa asked inwardly.

Biiiippp biiiipp biiiiippp

Mama Rafa's phone rang, a call came in from the husband looking for her whereabouts.

Mama Rafapun told her husband that she was in an oafe near Tiara's residence and soon the husband came to pick her up.

"Aunty has to go Tiara, do you want aunty to take you home?" mama Rafa asked at once.

"Thank you Auntie, Tiara will be home alone," Tiara replied.

"Alright then, take good care of yourself Tiara, auntie go first!" mama Rafa said when she left Tiara out of the cafe.

While Tiara was still sitting in her place, she thought about what Mama Rafa told her about Rafa and Maya's divorce which left her so shocked.

"What made Rafa divorce Maya's sister? is it because of me? I would definitely feel very guilty if it was true that their divorce was because of me, I felt that being the most sinful woman if until that happened," Inner Tiara asked inwardly.

"I have to call Brother Putra" Tiara said, taking his cell phone to contact Putra.

After a long wait, the son came and sat down in front of Tiara who was still in the cafe where he chatted with Mama Rafa.

"It is not usual for you to meet me in a cafe" said the son as he sat in front of Tiara.

"Tiara just met aunt Rosa sister" said Tiara.

"What did Aunt Rossa tell you?" ask Putra.

"Tante Rossa told Tiara that if Rafa and Maya's brother were divorced, did Putra's sister know about it?" tiara replied at once asking.

"Yes I already know, is that why you asked me to come here?" son's Reply.

Tiara simply nodded her head answering the Son's question.

"Many things that Tiara does not understand, Tiara does not understand why Aunt Rossa suddenly came to meet Tiara and apologized for having intended to match Tiara with Brother Son," said Tiara.

"What makes Tiara not understand is why Aunt Rossa told Tiara if Rafa and Maya's brother were divorced, is their divorce because of Tiara?" tiara asked.

"Of course not, why are you talking like that?" son's Reply.

"Then why did Rafa suddenly divorce Maya's brother and why did Aunt Rossa tell Tiara that, even though Aunt Rossa did not know that Tiara also knew Rafa's sister well!"

The son let out a long sigh before he told Tiara about what had really happened.

Putra then explained to Tiara about the video of Putra and Bagas that had been widely circulated. That's what makes Rafa's parents finally find out if Rafa and Maya's marriage is not okay.

The son also explained that Rafa's parents already knew how close Rafa was to Tiara and of course that made Tiara so surprised.

"So now there's nothing Rafa has hidden from his parents, including his closeness to you and maybe that's the reason why Aunt Rossa met you" said the son at the end of his explanation.

"God why Aunt Rosa didn't say that, if you knew that, Tiara would have explained everything to Aunt Rossa!" tiara.

"What are you going to explain to Aunt Rossa?" ask Putra.

"Technically you two have nothing to do with it, but you are both adults there is no need for an explanation of how exactly your relationship and from your closeness can be concluded if indeed you have a special relationship," said the Son.

"But Tiara......"

"Stop lying to yourself, Tiara, I know that even if you have the same feelings as Rafa, you're just trying to cover it up when you know that Rafa has a wife," the Son cuts Tiara's speech.

"What's wrong if Tiara does that? what's wrong if Tiara chooses to back off and go away?" tiara asked with her head lowered.

"You've done the right thing Tiara, Rafa has let you down and you have the right to continue your dream, maybe getting away from Rafa is one of the things you have to do" replied the Son.

"But until when are you going to keep lying to yourself Tiara? no matter how hard you try, in fact your heart still chooses Rafa" continued the Son.

"Tiara is not lying to Tiara kak, Tiara is just trying to make peace with the circumstances that Tiara does not want," Tiara said in self-defense.

"Then how do you feel now that you found out that Rafa's divorced with Maya? are you happy? are you happier now?" ask Putra.

"Of course not" Tiara replied quickly.

"That's not what Tiara wanted, Tiara had already been the second woman in the Tiara sister household and Tiara did not want to be the second woman in the Rafa and Maya's sister's household, it was precisely their separation that made Tiara feel guilty for being present between the two of them," explained Tiara.

"Their divorce was not your fault, Tiara, from the beginning of the marriage there was no love between them and as I told you Maya had cheated on Rafa and did something out of bounds with her affair any husband would have divorced his wife if his wife does the same thing Maya did!" putra says.

"But Maya already loves Rafa sister, Maya may also have regretted what she did behind Rafa's sister, it could be that if Rafa doesn't meet Tiara maybe Rafa's sister can forgive Maya and they can live their married life happily" Tiara said

"Rafa doesn't love Maya at all, he just loves you Tiara, I know Rafa very well and I know how he looks at you lovingly and how happy he is when he is with you, I've only seen that when Rafa's with you instead of another woman!" putra says.

"Now that it is meaningless for Tiara kak, Tiara has decided to forget Rafa's brother and start Tiara's new dream here, it's up to you if Brother Putra thinks Tiara is selfish but it's Tiara's decision!" tiara.

"You have decided to forget Rafa, but in reality your heart still holds a sense" said the Son, who left Tiara speechless without saying anything.

"If you've forgotten Rafa, you should have opened your heart to other men and I'm sure you haven't done that" said Putra.

"Tiara wanted to focus on Tiara's new dream and not think about it" Tiara replied.

"Alright if it's your decision I will support you, achieve the dream you want Tiara to have, forget Rafa if you really want to forget it and let your heart open so that others can enter and replace Rafa there," said Putra.

Tiara simply smiled faintly without saying anything. After a long chat, the son drove Tiara home.

"Don't let what happened to Rafa interfere with your concentration, you should stay focused on your goals here" said the son, who was only met with a nod of his head by Tiara.

Tiara then got out of the Son's car and went into his residence.

"I know you still love Tiara, I know that hope is still in your heart" said the Son inwardly and drove his car away from Tiara's residence.

Elsewhere, Maya is in a hotel to meet with her clients. Maya is completely unsuspecting when her client asks her to step into her hotel room.

But when Maya just came, her client opened the door by just wearing a towel wrapped around her waist, it certainly made Maya suspicious.

"I'm sorry it looks like I'll come next time" said Maya, who was about to walk away, but quickly pulled Maya's hand.

"What are you doing, let go!" maya said as she tried to release her hand from the clutches of the man who was her client.

"Don't sell too expensive, I know you've done it a lot" he said, causing Maya's emotions to peak.

Without hesitation Maya kicked the man in front of her to a fall and made her hand grip detached from Maya.

"Female basis ******!" said the man but was not ignored by Maya.

Mayapun immediately ran away with emotions that filled him at that time. Maya gets into her car and drives her car away from the hotel to the bar she frequents.

Arriving at the bar, Maya just sat in front of the bartender and without being asked the bartender gave a glass of drink to Maya who was very familiar.

"I don't want to drink" Maya said, sliding the glass in front of her.

Maya just stared silently at the people around her. He was envious of those who could laugh and enjoy life without burden.

While Maya herself felt unable to move forward, she had even forgotten her big dream and just lived her life without a definite direction.

Suddenly a man came and sat down beside Maya. The man smiled at Maya with a seductive smile, but Maya immediately turned her eyes away without caring about the man.

"You must be prettier when you smile" said the man, placing his hand on Maya's thigh, but Maya quickly shook her hand.

"Please take care of your attitude!" maya said firmly.

But instead of dodging the man instead stood closer in front of Maya, making Maya a little frightened.

Before anything bad happened, someone suddenly came and pulled the man's hand.

"Don't bother him or you'll deal with me!" bagas said to the man who disturbed Maya.

"OK fine," the man replied and walked away.

Seeing Bagas in front of him, Mayan immediately got up from his seat and walked away.

Bagaspun immediately ran after Maya, but Maya continued to walk regardless of Bagas who called her until Bagas finally managed to hold Maya's hand.

"Stop bothering me Bagas, I'm really fed up with you!" maya said with her two teary eyes.

"You can be mad at me as long as you don't stay away from me!" said Bagas who was still holding Maya's hand tightly.
