The Love That Is Taken

Searching for Apartments

“Iya, Sir.”

“Now let's go to the second lawyer's office. Let’s go!”

Karin smiles at the spirit of the boss looking for a lawyer to take care of his divorce. Mr. Jon seems to have really moved on from his separation with Bu Theresia. Then what about Ms. Theresia herself, huh? in my heart I want to know.

Since Jonathan left her at Rosa's wedding buffet, Theresia has been incredibly frustrated. The whole day was spent crying, calling, and sending dozens of WA chats to her husband. Nothing was responded to let alone replied by Jonathan. Simon, who was worried about the princess's mental condition, finally brought Theresia home with Mila.

The man himself was reluctant to beg his son-in-law again to reunite with his son. His pride as a father forbade him to do so a second time. There could not be underestimated by her husband if I again begged him to come back to my son, she murmured inwardly. Yes, if you want a divorce, divorce. There was young, beautiful, and booming treasure. It was not difficult for him to find another man who would accept himself as he was.

“Papa, why don't we just go home? We're after Mas Jon, so we don't go again!” exclaimed the woman as soon as she saw the car they were riding stopped in front of her biological father's house.

“Silence, There. Why do you humble yourself to pursue a husband who does not want you?! You are Simon Hidayat's son. Many men are willing to be your life partner if you want!” the old man was angry. He actually felt embarrassed about his family's problems discussed in front of his personal driver who was driving. But the great master could not bear to see the attitude of his daughter who considered to have no self-esteem begging for the love of a man who did not want him.

“But Mas Jon's husband There, Pa. We've been married for ten years! Once he left There again. In public anyway!”

The beautiful woman's cry became more and more. Mila who was sitting next to him finally said comforting him, “Already, There. You rest in our house. Later when it is calm, then you call your husband and talk carefully..”.

Theresa nodded her head and leaned on the shoulder of her stepmother. Mila stroked her back trying to calm her feelings. Meanwhile Simon furiously tried to call his son-in-law, but was not picked up. Tried to send a WA message, but it was not read.

Let me try it again later in the afternoon, he said in his heart. Then his forehead frowned as if he was thinking hard. If their marriage can no longer be saved, yes. I'm not going to stop that kid from divorcing There. It wasn't just Jonathan's mouth that said their marriage was over, he murmured in horror. His eyes also said the same thing….

The day started late afternoon. Jonathan drives his car at standard speed in the crowded streets of Surabaya. His face looked disappointed. He had already met two other lawyers. One blatantly refuses to handle his divorce case once he knows he will be dealing with the daughter of Simon Hidayat, the city's leading conglomerate. Others are rambling and end-to-end saying that they are no longer handling divorce cases.

“Then what is Mr Jon's next plan?” ask Karin carefully. He was actually a bit afraid to see the expression of his boss who was so tense. But the curiosity so great in his heart made him desperate to ask.

“This policy we have no meeting, right?” the leader asked back.

“Not there, Sir.”

“Then we go to D-Mall briefly.”

“I want to rent an apartment above D-Mall. One bedroom only. After all, just for me to stay alone.”

“Oh, so. So that you can do daily gym there too, sir?”

“Yes. Find food is also easy.”

“Betul, Sir.”

Then the boss drove his car towards the mall in question. Arriving there, he immediately invited Karin to the property management mall to find information about the rented apartment.

They were greeted with a friendly reception by a female employee. The young woman listened carefully to Jonathan's request to rent an apartment unit consisting of a bedroom and located on a floor that was not too high.

“For a while yes, Father and Mother. I check the list first,” said the polite karya.

“Good. Thank you,” Jonathan replied as he sat waiting with Karin.

Soon the couple's boss and secretary were ushered in to see some apartment units whose specifications were in accordance with Jonathan's request. The first apartment is not liked by the boss because the interior is dark brown, making the room that is basically not so big so it looks more narrow. The second unit is also not suitable because the view facing the swimming pool whose shape is considered less good by the man. Then the turn of the third unit was a bit decent, but Jonathan was still hesitant. He asked to be shown another alternative.

“What is this unit why, sir?” ask Karin wonder. According to him, this apartment is the most mending because the interior is white and minimalist so that the room looks spacious.

“I don't see as many mirrors here and there. It was as if my shadow was everywhere,” Jonathan replied frankly.

Sontak Karin and the karyawati laughed amusedly at the man's words. “The interior of this apartment mimics our show unit which consists of many mirrors, sir. The goal is that the room looks more spacious and elegant,”ulas karyawati with details. “But if Mr. Jonathan is still lacking, it's okay. There's still one more unit I want to show you. Hopefully this last one suits your taste.”

“Hopefully. Thank you very much yes, Ma'am,” said Jonathan sungkan.

“Sama-sama. Come Sir, Mom, follow me.”

The three people then left the apartment unit whose interior was filled with various mirrors. They get into the elevator down two floors and then go out and turn left down the hall until stopping in front of the unit that is located at the end.

“Because this unit is located at the very end, then there is an excess of several meters for its breadth, sir. So you can compare yourself with the previous three units, that this unit feels wider even though it is both one bedroom.”

Jonathan muttered as he stepped slowly to pay attention to all corners of the apartment. The interior I like, he murmured in his heart. Creamy nuance, feels soothing heart. In addition to a bedroom and bathroom outside, there is also a kitchen set and a small dining table with two chairs. In addition there is a sofa that is quite occupied by two people and an LED TV measuring 42 inches. Enough of this place I live alone, break it in my heart. Suddenly, there was a question in his mind.
