The Love That Is Taken

Karin Removes Jonathan's Sweat

Suddenly Karin felt ashamed of herself by the spontaneous question she had thrown earlier. Face blushed. Joshua laughed at seeing it. He replied lightly, “I take it so, anyway. Can, no?”

“Oh, ten.of course you can, Sir,” Karin said stammering. “I actually feel very honored.”

“If Eric?”

The girl was silent for a moment. Then he said slowly, “Eric has been a part of my past, Mr.”

“I see's. But he doesn't seem to think so.”

“That's his own business. For me personally, we are both done.”

Jonathan looked at the girl in front of him in astonishment.

“You guys are hard too yeah, it turns out.”

“It's not so, sir. But if I have decided something, it means it has been carefully thought out. So it's hard to change.”

“The young man hurt you so much huh, Rin? To the extent that you no longer want to be friends with him.”

Karin smiled bitterly and said, “What's so good about being friends with an ex-boyfriend, sir? It could be CLBK or even more hurt if he is close to another girl.”

“Smart also you. Hehehe...”.

“Eh, briefly, Sir.”

“Why?”

The girl picked up a piece of tissue on the table. When he was about to give it to his boss, he realized the man's hand was still a straw of rice and sambal. Then he took the initiative to wipe the sweat on his own temple with the tissue he held.

“Sorry yes, Sir. I helped wipe his sweat. Well, it's done. Please eat back.”

Jonathan was fixated on witnessing his secretary's concern for him. It used to be Theresia who always wiped her sweat with a tissue. Yes, in the courtship period until the early years of their marriage. The man looked at the girl sitting in front of him thankfully.

“Thank you, Karin. I really like the warning when eating spicy.”

“Hehehe. Its nothing. If I am spiciness, even like a cold person. Reddened nose.”

The leader chuckled amusedly at the girl's joke.

“Eric is really unlucky.”

“Why, Sir?”

“Losing a lover who is so considerate as you.”

“Her fault already cheated.”

“Heh?!”

“Ups, I'm slipping!” cetus Karin shuts her mouth. His shocked expression looked so funny that it made the man in front of him spin around.

“My pocket is mated, Sir?”

“Hahaha.., your expression just now was so funny. Baby you can't see it for yourself. Hahaha..”.

The girl pouted. He feels so annoyed. What do you think I'm a clown?! his mind is a little bit angry.

“Udahan dong, sir, his laugh. Not nice to see people,” his door begged.

“Ok, okay. Hehe…. Sori, sori. Yes, we continue to eat, yes.”

“Later once Bu Rosa gets married, you live alone, dong?”

“Iya, Sir. Its nothing. I am an adult. After all, the house of Aunt Rosa and her husband will not be far away. About twenty minutes by car from our current home.”

Jonathan mangosteen, “I see. To be honest, I was surprised that Miss Rosa was getting married. Considering his age is no longer young. Uh, apparently CLBK with his ex-girlfriend. It turns out that a soul mate does not run where.”

“Betul, Sir. Om Bernard is so nice.”

“Oh, his name is Bernard. Cool too.”

“People are cool too, sir. I still like to wear jeans. Hehehe...”.

“Yes, the taste of Bu Rosa I think there is no doubt, right?”

“Betul, Sir.”

“What are your own tastes, Rin?”

It was Jonathan's turn to regret the question he asked. What does that have to do with me? his mind feels alone. It was fortunate that the waiter came carrying the bill and saved her from that awkward situation.  Jonathan checked the note for a moment and took out a hundred thousand pieces of money from his wallet. “The return is take aja,” he said casually. The waiter smiled and thanked me.

“Yuk, Rin's. We go back to the office,” invite the boss straightforwardly.

“Well, sir,” replied the secretary as he stood up from his seat and walked with his lead to the car park.

Phew! Fortunately the waiter came just in time, inner Karin was relieved. I don't know how to answer Jon's question. Don't let him know that I've admired him since we first met!

In the car, Jonathan checks his phone and finds a WA message from Theresia.

[Mas Jon has lunch?]

The man smiled reading his wife's attentive message. Immediately he replied to the message it was short: [Already, dear.]

Theresia immediately asked: [Where to eat?]

Her husband typed in quickly: At my favorite broiler depot. It is not far from the property office. I was with the secretary of the meeting there. What did you eat yourself, honey?

Short answer: [Eating rawon made by Bi Sum.]

Jonathan stopped his WA chat for a moment. His memory hovers back at the events of two months ago. When his wife sprayed rawon rice made by Bi Sum into his face to make his emotions overflow and decided to divorce.

No time passed, he murmured in his heart. I did miss There, but to be honest I also enjoyed my solitude like now. I feel like I am the real me. No need to worry about my attitude, words, or actions will offend my own wife.

Am I gonna be ready to go home again with There, huh? ask him to himself. I'm gonna lose my time with Bastian and Mimin at the gym. Can't talk and joke around with them anymore. There's definitely not gonna let me leave her alone at home at night. Most likely, he asked for a gym as well. But if you see Mimin there, fearing that he thinks no-no and even trigger a fight, complained Jonathan in his heart.

I may be too comfortable with my situation now, so afraid to regroup with my wife! he thought surprised himself. We've been married for ten years and I promised Papa I'd give There a chance once again. When I have to swallow my own saliva?

The man was raging with his own mind until he was unaware that his phone had rung many times.

“Sorry, Sir. It seems like a lot of WA chat is coming in,” said Karin reminded.

“Oh, yes. Thank you.”

The director immediately replied to the messages of his wife who entered in a row. I must not break my own promise, his resolve in heart. There's joys that I routinely go through counseling with psychiatrists, meditation therapy, and stay away from association with social friends should be appreciated. It's a pity that his condition that has improved later even worsened because I just left it. I can't be selfish. Our marriage was witnessed by God and I have promised to be with him always in joy and sorrow.

While the boss was concentrating on his phone, his beautiful secretary who was sitting beside him was secretly stealing glances. How about, like, Mr. Jon's wife? inner curious. She was lucky to have a handsome, handsome, smart, and kind husband. The guy also likes to work hard and doesn't seem to like playing women. Much different from Eric who is basket-eyed, the meaning is sloppy in the heart. I hope I never see him again!
