Second Woman

Meet Maya

Tiara is still in the hospital. After Rafa was transferred to the ward Tiarapun sat beside Rafa's bed, looking at Rafa with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Can we meet again, brother? can we restart the happiness we once felt?" inner Tiara asked inwardly.

Soon after, Mama and Papa Rafa arrive after Tiara contacts Mama Rafa, informing him that Rafa has an accident.

"Jeez Rafa...... What happened to him Tiara? why is he like this?" ask Mama Rafa to Tiara.

"Sorry aunt, this is because of Tiara, when on the highway there was a motorbike that drove and almost hit Tiara, but suddenly Rafa's brother pushed Tiara and made Rafa's brother like this," tiara replied with two teary eyes.

Mama Rafa sighed then held onto both shoulders as if to calm Tiara who blamed herself for what happened to Rafa.

"It's not because of you Tiara, so don't blame yourself" said Mama Rafa.

"We better pray for Rafa to come to his senses soon" said Rafa.

Time passed, bringing the night to a close, but Rafa was still closed in his bed.

"You'd better go home Tiara, it's been a very night!" mama Rafa said to Tiara.

"Tiara wants to wait for Rafa's brother until Rafa wakes up aunty" Tiara replied.

"Tante will call you when Rafa wakes up, now you go home and rest at home!" said Mama Rafa.

Having no reason to wait for Rafa to be there, Tiarapun finally ready to go home, leaving Rafa in the hospital with his mother and father.

With uninspired steps, Tiara walked down the aisle of the hospital. Tiara did not understand why Rafa had done something that would risk her life to protect Tiara, given how Tiara had not cared about Rafa.

"Sir Rafa is really stupid!" tiara said in her heart.

Biiiippp biiiipp biiiiippp

Tiara's phone rang, a call came in from the Son.

"Hello, brother of the Son" said Tiara after he received the call of the Son.

"Halo Tiara, it seems like I haven't contacted you in a long time, it's not wrong if I ask how are you?" ask Putra.

Tiara let out a long sigh before she answered the Son's question, she herself did not know how she was doing at the time.

"What's Tiara? why do you sound like a long sigh, did something happen?" asked the Son who realized Tiara's breath as if full of burden.

"Tiara is fine, brother, what about brother Putra there?"

"I'm fine too, Rafa said today there will be a concert for the launch of your new product, is everything going well?"

"The product launch went well, sis, but Rafa's brother is not okay" replied Tiara.

"Why? what happened to Rafa?" ask Putra.

"Sir Rafa is now in the hospital having just had an accident" Tiara replied.

"Accident? then how is he doing now? it wasn't a bad accident, was it!" ask the worried-sounding son.

"The doctor said it was not a bad accident considering that Rafa had only suffered a minor head injury, but until now Rafa had not been conscious" Tiara explained.

"Hopefully he wasn't seriously injured, but why did he get into an accident? do you know?" ask Putra.

Tiara then explains what happened on the highway that made Rafa crash.

"Kak Rafa makes Tiara feel guilty" Tiara said at the end of her explanation.

"Why do you feel guilty? it's only natural that Rafa does that because he does love you," replied the Son.

"But it risked his life brother, did Rafa not think about it?"

"If we love someone we don't care what will happen to us as long as the person we love is okay, the sincerity of love can be seen from how a person gives up whatever he has for the happiness of the person he loves, even in his own life he will let go," said Putra.

Hearing the Son's words, Tiara instantly fell silent.

"Is it true that much love Rafa has for me?" inner Tiara asked inwardly.

"You know better about how you really feel Tiara, so I hope you stop opposing what you really feel" said Putra.

"Tiara once followed what Tiara felt, but in the end Tiara only found regret and pain" Tiara replied.

"Love is so strange, she comes with pain and disappointment, the choice is in our own hands whether we will accept that love or choose to reject it out of fear of pain and disappointment" said the Son.

"But I'm sure deep down in your little heart you know what you really want and what really makes you happy, love knows where she's got to dock, no matter how sick and disappointed love will still dominate the heart of the owner," continued Putra.

"What about the Son? what does the Son's brother choose after the Son's brother feels that love coming?" ask Tiara.

"I chose to accept it, I let the love that made me happy come even though I also had to prepare to feel pain and disappointment," replied the Son without hesitation.

"Does the Son not regret it?" ask Tiara.

"Of course not, it is my choice whatever the consequences will be, I have to be professional not only in work but also in matters of love hehehe.." replied the Son chuckling.

After a long chat, the call ended when Tiara got a taxi in front of the hospital.

Tiara then got into a taxi that drove her home.

Arriving at home, there is already Mama Laras waiting for his return.

"Mama hasn't slept?" tiara asked the stepmom.

"Mama's waiting for you, have you had dinner?" laras answered at once asking who was only returned with a head by Tiara.

"Mom will heat the food for a bit, you take a shower first and then go to the dinner table!" laras said and immediately took his steps into the kitchen.

With a smile, Tiarapun immediately took his steps into the bathroom to shower and change clothes and then walked to the dining table where there was Mama Laras waiting for him there.

"How's your office doing today? is it going well?" laras asked Tiara while preparing Tiara's food on the plate and then gave it to Tiara.

"Everything went well ma," replied Tiara and enjoyed her dinner accompanied by Mama Laras.

In his heart Tiara felt very happy because in the end he could feel the affection of a mother that he had not felt for a long time.

Ever since they moved into the house, Mama Laras has cared so much for Tiara. Laras who used to dislike Tiara is now very fond of Tiara.

The time passed by the day has changed. As usual Tiara went to the office by bus. Arriving at the office he was immediately preoccupied with his work piling up.

When he had finished one of his work he came out of his room, intending to give the results of his work to Rafa, but before he went into Rafa's room he remembered that Rafa was still in the hospital. Tiarapun gave the results of his work to Rafa's personal assistant.

"How's Rafa doing now? why hasn't Aunt Rosa contacted me at all?" inner Tiara asked inwardly as she stared at the screen of her phone, waiting for Mama Rafa to contact her.

Many times Tiara checked her phone to make sure she didn't miss a call from Mama Rafa, Tiara also checked if she had set the volume of her phone to full because she did not also hear her phone ringing until late in the day.

As Tiara's working hours were over, Tiara quickly rushed to tidy up her desk and left the office to immediately go to the hospital where Rafa was being treated.

Arriving at the hospital, Tiarapun immediately took his steps towards Rafa's room. Before Tiara entered, she could see Rafa sitting on his bed with her mother sitting near Rafa's bed.

Tiara was able to breathe a sigh of relief as she looked at Rafa's state that seemed fine. Tiara then took her steps to leave, but not until she had gone far someone called her.

"Near!" call Mama Rafa who makes Tiara turn her body immediately.

"Where are you going? come in, Rafa must be happy to see you here!"

Tiara just smiled awkwardly and took her step into Rafa's room with Mama Rafa.

"How is Mr Rafa doing?" tiara asked Rafa.

"As you can see I'm fine" Rafa replied with a smile as if nothing had happened to him.

"I'm sorry your aunt hasn't told you about Tiara, thank you for coming here to see Rafa" Mama Rafa told Tiara.

Mama Rafa then says goodbye to go home, accidentally leaving Rafa alone with Tiara.

After Mama Rafa left, Tiara just kept quiet without saying anything, it felt very awkward to be in a room with Rafa without anyone there.

"It seems like you're really worried about me, is that right?" rafa asked breaking the silence between the two of them.

"Tiara only feels guilty because Tiara Pak Rafa is now hospitalized" Tiara replied.

"Don't blame yourself, it's not because of you at all, I'm fine anyway!" said Rafa.

Tiara fell silent again, for some reason it was so hard to just open her mouth.

"Is there nothing you want to tell me?" ask Rafa.

"Thank you for saving Tiara," said Tiara who made Rafa sigh.

"That's not what I want to hear from you, is there nothing else you want to say?" rafa asked at once.

Tiara quietly lowered her head and played her fingers. He remembered all the words his son had spoken to him when he left the hospital last night.

"Sincere love, is it true?" inner Tiara asked inwardly.

"Say something Tiara, you didn't come here just to keep quiet like this, did you?" said Rafa breaking the Tiara reverie.

"North......"

Tiara stopped her speech as she heard someone open the door of Rafa's room.

Tiarapun brought his gaze towards the door and was so surprised when he saw someone he knew just entered the room Rafa.

"Rafa, what happened to you? you're okay aren't you?" ask Maya who immediately walked over to Rafa.

"Maya, why are you here?" rafa asked without answering Maya's question.

"I'm worried about you Rafa, I'm afraid something bad happened to you after I heard that you just had an accident" Maya replied.

"Tiara, you're here apparently," continued Maya who only realized that there was a Tiara there.

Tiara simply nodded her head slowly without saying anything, she did not know what to behave at that moment.

"Go away, your existence is just bothering me!" rafa told Maya.

"I'm going to go, I want to see you because I want to say goodbye to you, when I find out if you're in the hospital I'm very worried and come here soon" Maya replies.

"I just wanted to tell you that tomorrow if I'm going to Singapore to meet Bagas, I've decided to start my new life there with him" she continued.

"Good then, you should have decided that!" said Rafa.

"I'm sorry if my existence bothers you, from now on I'll make sure you never see me again, I'll try to start all over in a new place without remembering you!" said Maya.

"I'll leave in peace, if you say you've forgiven me" Maya continued, smiling at Rafa.

"I've forgiven you for a long time, after all I've forgotten everything that happened between us" Rafa replied.

"Well then, I'll go first!" maya said then took her steps towards Tiara.

"Tiara, can you come with me for a second? there's something I want to talk to you about" Maya tells Tiara.

"Don't, if there's anything you want to talk about just talk about here!" rafa said while holding tiara's hand.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt her" Maya said.

Tiareapun releases Rafa's hand from him and takes his step out of Rafa's room with Maya.

"How's your relationship with Rafa, Tiara?" ask Maya to Tiara.

"There is no connection whatsoever between Tiara and Rafa's brother, Tiara only considers Rafa's brother as the superior where Tiara works no more than that" Tiara replied.

"But you still love him, don't you?" ask Maya who makes Tiara immediately shake her head, afraid that Maya will misunderstand her.

"Try to be honest with yourself, Tiara, if you know Rafa really loves you very much, but our divorce is not at all because of that, but purely because of my own fault" Maya said.

"I was angry with you because you were present in my household with Rafa, but the longer I thought I was beginning to realize that the mistake was not from the outside but from myself" continued Maya.

"Tiara apologizes for all the things that happened because of the existence of Tiara kak," said Tiara who felt guilty.

"You don't need to apologize Tiara, this has indeed become the destiny of our lives, I've tried to accept now" Maya replied.

"Rafa loves you so much Tiara, even after my divorce with Rafa I still try to get close to him but he always ignores me, he's a good and responsible man, he said, I'm sure he'll be a good partner to you if you're going to open your heart up again for him" Maya continued, leaving Tiara speechless.
