The Former

YULIA TALK

Rooftop became Nindy's choice to release fatigue in his brain after tired of learning many files given by Ardi to him. Since arriving at the office this morning, Nindy was immediately suguhi with dozens of files that had been piled on his desk. Ardi said that he had to study all the files because in the next few months the company would cooperate with a very large client so he had to know everything related to work that same.

Although upset but Nindy can not express his frustration to Ardi because the task is not from him but from Rafael. And what makes Nindy even more upset is because since morning she did not also meet her husband. It cannot be denied if in fact Nindy is so worried about the state of the husband about the events of last night.

Accompanied by one cup of orange ice his favorite Nindy enjoy the view of the capital city from the height of the floor of the LJ Group building, in his heart Nindy still questioned the reality that is currently happening in his life. Is it true that this building and the entire contents inside it belong to him? It is true that he has full power over all company regulations and even all employees who are in this company.

"So this is what it's like to be an heir" murmured Nindy.

"It's not at all pleasant".

"I had to spend all my time just being in my room and not having the chance to meet anyone else. Even I only have one working partner, Mr. Ardi"

"ah! Really boring".

Nindy stared at the whole scene before her, she stared blankly at her eyes as her whole mind was staring far away at the thought of her life, her relationships and the events of last night.

Nindy continues to think about why God has outlined a fate that is full of twists and turns for her, even now fate seems to be playing with not only her life but also her heart and feelings. Being in the circle of romance between the husband and the lover is certainly not an easy thing for him, he is like a player who is playing with the hearts of two men at once.

"Aaaahhhh! Know ah, giddy cave".

Nindy screamed loudly as she ruffled her hair. It is in a vortex of dilemmas, endless dilemmas.

"Why dizziness?" A voice was crying out to Nindy.

Nindy turned her head towards the source of the voice, she saw a beautiful woman wearing a white coat standing looking at her.

"It turns out you're here" said Dr. Yulia with a sweet smile.

Dr. Yulia stepped closer and chose to sit on the chair that was right next to Nindy.

"The views here are beautiful, right? I also like hanging out here, this place is very suitable to be used as a place of relaxation after a day of work".

Nindy did not reply, she only heard the woman's words while nodding in agreement.

"What do you feel right now?" Ask Dr. Yulia.

"God! Meaning what?" Nindy asked because she didn't understand.

Dr. Yulia smiled again

"Your feelings! How are you feeling right now? Are you all right? Or are you having a problem?".

Nindy smiled bitterly, she felt like this woman knew a lot about her. But who is this woman? Her thought.

As if she could read Nindy's mind, Dr. Yulia reached out her hand to introduce herself.

"Include me, I'm Dr. Yulia. I work as a doctor in the LJ Group health unit. And I am Rafael's cousin" said Dr. Yulia.

Nindy is shocked to discover that she is her husband's cousin.

"Oh yes, hi Dr. Yulia. I'm Nindy, I'm--------".

"You're Rafael's wife, right?"

Nindy smiled slightly as she nodded slowly.

"Just as Rafael is crazy about you, his wife is indeed very beautiful" said Dr. Yulia.

"Ah, you could have" Nindy blushed in embarrassment.

"Yulia, call me Yulia. I'm Rafael's cousin meaning I'm also your cousin".

"Yes, fine" Nindy nodded.

Both were silent for a moment.

"How are your relations? Are you guys gonna decide to refer?" Ask Dr. Yulia to the point.

Nindy was a little uneasy because her husband's cousin was too to the point when she asked. Yulia is a blunt person, she does not like to feel stale. He also does not like to procrastinate and is always quick to take action. Yulia was so upset when she learned that Rafael and Nindy's relationship was still on the spot, that she decided to get involved in the marital affair.

"Why? Don't you want to go back with Rafael? Don't you guys love each other?".

"Love! I don't even know how I feel right now".

"Do you still doubt your own feelings? Or do you doubt Rafael's feelings for you?" Ask dr. Yulia

"I don't understand what you mean?" Nindy Sahut.

"I'm sure you know exactly where I'm going".

Dr. Yulia glanced at Nindy at a glance then looked back to the front.

"Seven years".

"Seven years is not a short time for a man to live his life alone. No one would be able to do that if it wasn't for their loved ones" Dr Yulia said.

"Do you not think that Rafael is a foolish man. He was so stupid because he was still faithfully waiting for a wife who disappeared for seven years even though he himself did not know for sure how his wife lived at that time. It could be that his wife is remarried or maybe his wife is already ---- ah sorry! It might have died. But Rafael foolishly still so sure if someday God will surely bring you back together. And it turns out that God is indeed Most Just, finally after all this time you meet again".

Nindy listened to every word that came out of Dr. Yulia's mouth.

"I don't know what you're feeling right now, but one thing's for sure, Rafael loves you a lot. If Rafael does not love you, he will not be able to sacrifice seven years of his life just to wait for you without certainty and for that long he never intends to open his heart to another woman".

Nindy smiled bitterly, why did she feel disturbed to hear the words of Dr. Yulia.

"Why do you have to say all that, why doesn't he say it himself?".

Nindy looked at Dr. Yulia.

"He had many opportunities to tell me everything, but why didn't he say anything about his feelings. Does she think I'm a psychic who has the ability to know her whole heart" Nindy starts to get emotional.

"Love! Heh,,,".

"I don't even know what kind of love you're talking about".

Dr. Yulia returned Nindy's eyes, instantly guessing that her cousin's wife had been deeply disappointed in her cousin Rafael.

"I know you're disappointed in him, you must be disappointed with all his past actions and also his attitude when you meet again. But can't you now see the earnestness in his eyes. He's changed, Nindy and you are the only people who can change him".

"You remember what happened a few weeks ago when you passed out from a food allergy! It was I who handled you. And do you know, at that time I saw the figure of Rafael from a side that looked very different from Rafael who I knew before. He looked so panicked and frustrated as he watched you lying unconscious. If only you could see his face at that time, surely you would never have thought that he was Rafael whom we have known all along".

Nindy remembered the incident, when Rafael did look different than usual. A messy appearance as well as a look of regretful eyes.

Dr. Yulia grabbed Nindy's hand and grasped it tightly.

"Nindy. Can you give Rafael a second chance?".

Nindy was silent, she did not know what to answer.

"I-----!".

"Everybody has a second chance, and I hope Rafael can get that second chance as well".

"Rafael was wrong and he confessed wrong, can't you forgive him".

Nindy and Dr. Yulia stared at each other, they tried to understand each other's feelings.

"Love! Pardon me! Second chance!".

"Should I reconsider that? But can we be together again after all that has happened?".
