The Love That Is Taken

Come to Mourn

“I don't think it's a problem,” timpal Jonathan. “There has now been somewhat changed. Not as emotional as before. Papa had advised him towards the end of his life. If Mimin wants, he can come with Karin. But don't be forced, Bas. Not good.”

“I see's. He's gonna want to. He feels sorry for you for not coming. Fellow business partners, right.”

“Ok. Thanks, Bro.”

“Your welcome.”

And it's true. The day turned out to look like Mina was coming with Karin, Rosa, and Bernard. “According to my condolences, There,” said Rosa while greeting and embracing Theresia who was very sad.

“Thank you, Aunt Rosa,” replied Simon's daughter was shriveled. She then greeted Bernard, her father's former secretary's husband. Then continued with Karin.

“According to my condolences, Ms. Theresia. May the family mother be given fortitude,” said the girl was a bit timid. For some reason his heart was fiercely faced with his lover's legitimate wife. There was a hint of guilt in his chest as their eyes clashed.

The unsuspecting Theresa received the girl's helping hand. He nodded and thanked me. When it was Mina's turn to show her condolences, the woman tried hard to smile and regret it. This is a tribute to Papa, his mind calms down. I can't make a fuss. Mina is a friend of Mas Jon, it's only natural that he came to see Papa. However, Mas Jon is still my legal husband.

“Thank you, Mina,” is short. The guest was relieved that his arrival was well received. Theresia invited them to sit on the empty benches. For a while he accompanied his guests chatting until Jonathan suddenly appeared with a very short-haired woman behind him.

Mina who saw him was very surprised. Lucia, her mind is troubled. Well, how can he come now, yeah. Lothawat!

“There, this is Lucia coming,” tell Jonathan to his wife. Theresia. Oh, that's lawyer Mas Jon who the other day I want to go to his office, his mind is sad. If I hadn't been stubborn enough to see him, Papa would still be alive right now.

The woman forced herself to smile. Presented her husband's legal counsel in a friendly manner, “Thank you for his presence, Ms. Lucia.”

The lawyer greets Theresa and says diplomatically, “I'm sorry, Ms. Theresia. May the families left behind be given fortitude.”

“Thank you.”

The woman then invited Lusia to sit down. He himself said excuse me to those guests to take care of something else. “Mas Jon please accompany Aunt Rosa and everyone is chatting here, yes,” her request for help. Her husband looked at her in amazement then nodded. I don't know how many times he's been at this place where his wife says please. It seems like he was trying to get Papa's message through before he died, Jonathan thought happily. Mila had told her about Simon's trust in her daughter before taking his last breath. The man asked Theresia to be strong, mature, and independent. He also achieved his wishes elegantly and put logic first.

After leaving his guests, suddenly Theresia's stomach felt heartburn. Ah, sebal, he lamented inwardly. Still bothering this way my intestines can not be invited to compromise. Then he stepped into the toilet to urinate.

Meanwhile Jonathan introduces Lucia to Rosa and Bernard. “This is my lawyer. Lusia. Karin and Mimin are familiar, right?”

Mina nodded. Then spontaneously he stood up and said he wanted to go to the restroom. “You want company, Ma'am?” karin offered himself. Mina shook her head slowly. “Neventless. I didn't take long, though. You're just here. Accompany Aunt Rosa and Om Bernard. Excuse me, Auntie, Om, Lucia. Yuk, Bro.”

Jonathan soon realizes his best friend is uncomfortable being around the lawyer who once almost kissed him. The man felt a little sorry to invite Lucia to sit with Mina's entourage. He had completely forgotten the unpleasant events that had happened to his best friend. But it's already gone. Mina was already moaning to go to the toilet.

Jonathan and Karin are stunned to see the lawyer as if he is going after Mina. Yes, no, Jonathan resigned. Let Mimin and Lucia solve their own problems.

Then the man began to sit next to Bernard and invite him to chat. Karin lowered her face. She felt clumsy sitting opposite her lover. The girl knew Rosa who was sitting next to her was silently watching her movements….

Arriving at the toilet, Mina heaved a sigh of relief. There's no one there at all. She looked at her face in the mirror while saying encouraging herself, “Come Mina's spirit! Don't bother meeting Lucia. It's as usual as if nothing ever happened.”

“What ever happened?” asked a female voice suddenly chimed in her words.

Mina surprised. The woman he was avoiding suddenly appeared right before him. “You want what you came here for?” tanyanya. He took a few steps back.

Lusia chuckles amusedly. “This is a public toilet for women. You can just dong, I came in here,” said lightly. He then washed his hands in the sink.

After drying his hands in the dryer, the lawyer said softly, “I want to apologize again for the incident, Mina. I was really scared at that time. Don't worry, I won't repeat.”

Mina looked at him in disbelief. But the look in Lucia's eyes seemed earnest as she said it. Inevitably Mina's heart was moved as well. “Alright, I'm sorry. But please Lucia, I can't be friends with ehm.sori. Honestly, it feels uncomfortable. Please understand,” the request is polite but firm.

“So, yes. Alright. I appreciate the will of people who don't want to make friends with me. But may I ask you something?”

“What is it?”

“Did you have a special relationship with Jonathan? If so, I'm glad you're happy with him. He's a good guy.”

“What? Hahaha..”.

Mina laughed back and forth until almost a tear came out. It was Lucia's turn to laugh. As a reliable lawyer, a little bit he can read someone's mind through the attitude he shows. From the way Mina laughed, she could already read that this woman who once captivated her heart had no special relationship with her client.

“Ok, I know already,” the spark after stopping laughing. “You're just regular friends. Forgive my guess. Honestly, I want to handle the divorce case because I see he's a good guy and your friend, too. If you were together, I would be so happy. At least I can make amends for my mistakes first to you.”

“By taking care of her divorce so she can be united with me? Hehehe.., Russia, Russia. Your guess is wrong. I'm not the woman who can conquer Jonathan's heart.”

“oya? Who can?”

“Hehehe. Jon did not mention the status of the girl because there was Theresia. But in the office everyone already knows that they are dating again.”
