Day after day passed, Serena and Reno's relationship improved and improved. The two spent lunch each day together, both outside and indoors. Familiarity was re-awakened, the aroma of their old love story, back to the crack. Serena seemed to forget the pain Reno had given, and Reno seemed to not know where her current position was. They're back in the lull.
As of this moment, with eyes staring furiously, Hana clenched her hands in front of her cubicle. He had just seen Reno come out of Serena's room laughing with her best friend. The sight grew less and less wearing eyes as Reno boldly stroked Serena's cheek and the top of her head before saying goodbye. And stupidly, Serena was silent. It looks stunned and hypnotized.
Blam it!
Serena, who was just about to occupy the seat of her greatness, abandoned her intentions because the door of her room was closed violently by Hana. The woman squinted her eyes in confusion at Hana who seemed to be in an angry fashion.
"Loe what's up, Han?" Serena approached Hana who kept looking at her sharply.
"Gue's disappointed with you, Re."
"Loved? Disappointed why?"
"Let's squirm loeak the same old bastard."
Without having to repeat the words or clarify the words, Serena knew who Hana meant. He knew the anger of his best friend.
"Han. please. It's just lunch. Not more." Serena wanted to rub Hana's shoulder, but was pushed aside by the woman.
"Just lunch loe said? Lunch what makes loe feel at home like Reno long-time like that."
"Gue is not lam---
"Two hours past lunchtime according to loe bentar?"
"That's because there's something we need to talk about
"Including affection?"
Serena frowned in disbelief. "What the hell are you, Han?! There's no such thing as a-a-no
"Laughter-ketiwi. Ngelus. Hairwrenching. And maybe something more intimate than that I don't know. Or-or-the-or
"Hana's enough!" Cut Serena with a firm voice. The index finger is already crooked, and this means it has been on the verge of patience.
Hana's mouth instantly clenched. His gaze began to dim. But his breathing still sounded harsh.
"Enough yeah. From the beginning, I was angry, I was patient. From the moment you cut my words, I'm patient. But when you accuse me like that, I can't. I don't like being accused."
"And I don't accuse," Hana's chimpanzee is no less emphatic. "Loe knows me, right? I hate accusing people without seeing them myself. But when I came to throw that sentence, it meant I was confident with my own eyes."
"What does Loe mean?"
"Take care of everything you've done with Reno just now!"
Serena was quite stunned in shock. Questioning from when Hana noticed him, and what he saw.
"Why do you die, Re? Come answer me. Answer what it all means, huh?"
Serena panicked. It's totally dead-end denial. "Yes okay. Reno did the thing you called earlier. But that's just it, nothing more. And that was the first time he'd ever done it, never before."
"You're the first time, the second time, want just that, want more than that, you shouldn't be kayaking earlier. It will make him geer and more daring to do more things."
Serena's silence made Hana sigh violently. Hana rubbed Serena's right shoulder gently. His eyes and tone also softened. "Lo's close proximity to Reno is unnatural, Sere. Loe is no longer a single woman, you are no longer an ABG girl who is still free here and there. Loe's wife and mother to someone. Loe's part of a small family."
"Gue's just a friend, Han. Is that wrong?" Serena is weak.
"As women do not want their men to look at others, men also do not want to share their own with others. Want it in the name of friendship or whatever, this step loe wrong. Only God can break the heart of man. And we never know if God can change loe hatred into love again with Reno?"
"That's impossible, Han, I know the limits." Serena sighed softly.
"But we can't limit other people's thoughts about us? Maybe I'm not the only one who thinks obliquely about the closeness of loe with Reno? Maybe out there some think further than I think."
"That's their mind. They're free to think of anything."
"Including free-thinking wilds about their bosses who seem to be as affectionate as foreign men?"
"But, Han...
"Chere, please. Horrified me this time," Hana solemnly held both of Serena's shoulders. "Okay, let's just say that you don't care the same as other people think. But please think about Ares. Do you think he wouldn't get hurt if he knew his wife every day was together with another guy? His ex?..."
"...Loe has not been able to open the heart of Loe for Ares, it does not mean that loe is the heart that is waiting for loe is destroyed. Loe does not give room for Ares to enter the heart of loe, it does not mean you easily overtake Reno that aja. Think this through. Where'd you find a guy as patient as Ares? Guys who always keep a loe kayak diamond, even though you just think he's invisible dust. Loe want your little family destroyed? You don't think it's going to affect your son, Altan?"
"Don't bring my son."
"Then from that you have to horrify me."
"What else? I've been horrified from earlier, Han."
"Keohin Reno if you still want everything all right."
"Don..."
"Rather than wasting your time on a guy. Better loe luangin time to repair loe's relationship with Ares."

Smoke filled Ares' private room in his office. His right leg he spilled on his left leg, while his hand casually clamped a cigarette. The man, as usual, was enjoying his lunch hour by staring at the passing of the vehicle visible from there.
"Bro." Call Vino who is sitting on the side of the bed. His face looks concerned.
"Gue was really confused, Vin," Ares said as if unconscious. His eyes looked straight. "Serena's attitude has changed a lot lately."
Vino exhaled a rough breath, then got up close to Ares. His right hand patted the friend's shoulder to strengthen.
"You know what you want, you can tell me, Res."
"Several days he's getting cuckoo. Speaking is just as necessary. If I want to touch, or just hug, he doesn't want to."
"Loe made a mistake?"
Ares shakes. "It's not like that. Maybe you were talking about it at that time."
Vino thought while bowing his head. It was really concerned to see Ares who was frenzied. "Loe asked him?"
"Uhm... if, my guess all this time really, you want what?"
"Don't think I'd do anything, Vin. Think if everything happens I can't afford. I'm too scared."
"Kalo loe is afraid, who will be this hadepin? Other guy?" Vino asked in a light tone, so that Ares would not get tense.
Shaking his shoulders indicates he does not know. The smoke from his cigarette thickened. If Vino looks around, it's Ares' fifth cigarette.
"Stop smoking, Men, the problem will not be cross if you break yourself loe."
"At least I have a headache."
Vino bravely snatched the cigarette that Ares smoked, then stepped on it to the point of destruction. Vino's gaze seriously unsheathed Ares.
"Loe what the fuck, anyway?!" Ares protest rose from his seat.
"Loe's sure Serena's doing it behind loe?"
Ares quiet. Jakunnya up and down. But secretly his hands clenched fidgetily. His emotions are really mixed.
"You can't be sure, don't be impulsive without proof. Loe had to look first with her own eyes, or ask..."
"...I didn't like Serena's attitude all this time, the same way she treated you. But I also don't want to leave you indictable. I don't want your household destroyed just because of misunderstanding..."
"...Please, Men, don't keep believing. Diem loe won't make it all go away."
"Don't you, Vin, I want to do something. I don't want to be demed. But.." Ares' voice choked on his own saliva. "But I don't know what to do when I don't know what's really going on."
"There's one way to make it all go wrong" Vino held onto Ares's shoulders, looking at him much more seriously than before. "That's Serena. Make him have no choice but to stay the same loe."
"But what, Vin, what?! Was my sacrifice lacking?"
"That's not what I meant. I'm sure this way he won't be able to run away from you."
"What?"
"Bikin Serena is pregnant again."

Ares was squeezing his cold fingers as Serena walked into the room after taking Altan to bed. His head was straight towards Serena, his gaze was frozen, and his lips were tightly locked.
As if not feeling being watched by her husband, Serena waltzed casually. Get on the bed, ready to pull the blanket.
"Don't sleep first" Serena turned to look because she heard Ares's tone of voice that wasn't as gentle as usual. "I want to talk."
"Tomorrow. I'm sleepy." Reply Serena cuek.
"Now. I don't want to procrastinate anymore."
Ignoring Ares's voice, Serena arranged her pillow to make it comfortable to wear. Just as she was about to lie down, Ares' hand blocked her until Serena turned her head. "I think our parents' advice is real."
Serena of course stared at the confusion.
"I want us to have another child." Ares with serious eyes.
Ares's check on his hand he lowered it. "We've already discussed this, and I don't think you've forgotten what the end result is."
"I changed my mind."
"It looks like you're talking like that. We made this decision five years ago, and you want to change it in one night?"
"I want to have children because we do it consciously, not the way we used to."
Oh my God, Serena is inflamed in the heart. She was ashamed and felt very bad because she was drunk and asked Ares, but the next day she even cursed the husband who was only eight months old she married at that time.
Then after a long night of fruitful results, Serena could not accept it. He cried out to God why he kept on cursing him. At that time he was left by the person he loved, then married to a foreign man, and had to contain his seeds as well.
Forgive Mami for making you a mistake, Altan.
It's already been! This is not the time for bernoslatgia. Especially about not wearing.
"I didn't tell you to daydream. Come on." Ares held Serena again, but the woman brushed her off.
"No! I don't want to!"
"But I want to! Anyway, I just want us to have another kid."
"Don't think you are? Don't think about what I will be? How's my job?"
"I am still capable. My money won't run out just to pay for two kids."
"Whatever the reason, I won't change my mind. Enough one. Just Altan."
"I ask for my right this malem. Now too!"
Serena's eyes squealed in disbelief. He thought that the whole point of tonight's conversation wasn't about Ares wanting to have more offspring, but Ares just wanting to ask for this.
"Why? Want to push too?"
"Your thoughts are just about that, huh? It's just about satisfaction!"
"That's my right. So I can ask you when. And your duty as a wife is to fulfill your duty."
Serena grunts. "Wife feels napsu satisfied. If that's all you're looking for, ask for your girlfriend. Didn't you say you wanted to find another girlfriend?"
Serena hated why her mind was directly connected to the snippet of the photo at that time.
"Don't just talk to you."
"I'm not original. Everything I said I always thought about first," and Serena chuckled blandly, like a sneer. "Unfortunately you, whose head is only chest and ************."
