That Other Woman... I

THE WLIA 23

Meanwhile for a few days after returning from town B and find out what happened to Laras and also his family. Abhimanyu's circumstances were really very sad, he had even been a few days away from coming to the company. He just locked himself in the room, even he would only eat if Cindy came to persuade him. Really very sad. Abhimanyu seemed to no longer have the spirit of life, and he only survived for Cindy alone.

Marina who was sad to see the condition of her son was also only able to resign to the situation, the problem was that she could not help Abhimanyu either. Because if he allowed Abhimanyu to find out where Laras was, Abhimanyu said, he was very sure that the woman had not died. Marina feels very bad for Sarah's family. Especially after everyone knows what Sarah's current situation is like. The little thing that makes me sad is likely to shorten his age, Dr. Rusdi said.

Because the statement of Dr. Rusdi is what makes everyone now can only be silent to see the state of Abhimanyu is truly sad.

Marina, who heard from the servant that Abhimanyu had not eaten until late afternoon, met her son in his room.

As Marina walked into Abhimanyu's room, the man was lying on his side facing the window, he was helplessly sitting on the bed with a pushy look toward the window that was deliberately left open when the day had begun to evening.

Marina turned on the light and closed the window to her son, saying.

"Cindy's been picked up by her grandmother, Sarah said tonight she wants to sleep with Cindy. Don't you want to go back there and be with your wife's child?" ask Marina.

Marina tried to speak in her usual tone when in her heart she was very sad when she saw the face of the child who looked increasingly disheveled. The fine fur around the face, especially at the top of the lips and chin, is increasingly visible, that's because for a few days Abhimanyu did not take good care of himself he even forgot to shave his mustache and also his beard. Until it looks less neat and makes his pale face more pale.

But after Marina spoke so much, Abhimanyu still did not show any response. Marina grew sad. But he was still grateful that Abhimanyu still remembered Cindy so much that he did not make himself fall into the negative. If other people out there might turn themselves to booze or something like that, but Abhimanyu is not willing to do that at all because he still thinks highly of Cindy.

But even the smile and laughter of his little princess could only comfort him for a moment, in a few moments later Abhimanyu will again remember Laras and also all his mistakes on Laras and his family.

Marina then sat down on the chair that she pulled up near the Abhimanyu bed.

"Son, I understand how you feel. I know you must feel very guilty about that woman. But you shouldn't ruin your life like this either, son, maybe you think by being silent and shutting yourself up in a room like this you won't cause trouble for anyone else, but you're wrong!" marina started to sound so serious.

When Marina got very serious, Abhimanyu still did not respond to what her mother said. His gaze was still straight ahead and did not turn at all towards Marina.

Marina tries to touch her son's arm gently.

"You're the CEO of a big company, son, if you're like this then your company will also be affected. Andri has come several times and asked to meet with you to discuss important issues, he said the company really has a loss if you do not come to the meeting tomorrow. Can you imagine, son, that the company was destroyed? maybe for us it doesn't matter, because your father still has another company, but do you think about the fate of hundreds, even thousands of your employees? what will they be like? what about their families if they don't have a job anymore? are you thinking about all that, son?" asked Marina whose eyes had started to glaze over.

Actually in addition to really caring about the fate of all employees of Abhimanyu company, Marina is more sad to see the state of Abhimanyu like this. Ever since he spoke, Abhimanyu did not even respond to him at all. Which mother's heart will endure the suffering of her child like this.

"Mother, get out. I'm not gonna force you, son. But please think again yes, maybe Laras will not be calm in nature there if you continue like this, he will also be sad to see you like this!" marina stood up and walked out of Abhimanyu's room.

All these facts made Marina feel that what Abhimanyu said was only because she could not accept the death of Laras and his family. Marina also stopped the investigation. Moreover, Sarah looks sad when she says she is finding out the truth about Abhimanyu's second wife.

Marina closed the door of Abhimanyu's room and wiped away her slowly dripping tears.

Meanwhile inside his room, Abhimanyu was still silent and did not show any response when Marina mentioned Laras' name. But a few moments later his eyes closed. And every time he closed his eyes, the image of Laras' face was always there, the beautiful woman smiled and called out Abhimanyu's name gently. It made a drop of tears flow from the corner of Abhimanyu's eyes.

"Clearned!" lirih Abhimanyu who then opened his eyes.
