The Love That Is Taken

Theresia Plan

Suddenly Simon's wise admonition rang in his ear, "If you want something, achieve it in an elegant way. Don't just be emotional. Use logic."

Use logic, use logic! inner Theresa tried to immerse the words of her beloved father in her mind. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He did it several times so that Jonathan who saw it felt somewhat guilty.

"I'm sorry, There," she regrets wholeheartedly. "Trust me, not a little has it been implied in my mind or heart to hurt you. All this happened outside of me. However, I am still a human being with a weakness...."

Theresa watched her husband who was looking at her with eyes full of regret. The woman forced herself to smile. Jonathan was amazed to see it.

"I understand, Mas Jon," said the woman softly. "It's okay. I'll ask my lawyer to approach the court. Even if you need to collaborate with your attorney so that everything is finished soon. By the way, congratulations. Jon is soon to be a father. Tell Karin I'm happy with her pregnancy. You two are a really good couple."

"Thank you very much, There" said Jonathan joyfully. "You too can start a new life soon. Papa and Aunt Mila in heaven must also always pray for the best for you."

The man then stretched out his hand to shake his hand. His wife smiled wider. Hands of the husband. Mas Jon's heart had completely turned away from me, Theresia's mind was poignant. I'll reclaim the happiness we've been through together, Mas. Believe that....

That night, Theresa could not sleep. He now lives back in the house he once shared with Jonathan. His intention was to tell Jonathan to sell his late father's house. Her husband offered her to help market the house through his office for free. Theresa accepted and thanked him.

Actually Mas Jon was still paying attention to me, thought the woman. The proof he comes every day helps me take care of Papa and Aunt Mila's funeral. Work and Karin left him to accompany me. So it shouldn't be hard to make her heart turn back to me.

Suddenly the dizziness in his head again disturbed him. That's how he feels lately when he is focused on thinking about something. He took his pain medication. A few minutes later, the dizziness in his head gradually disappeared. The woman concentrated on thinking of ways to win her husband's heart.

"There is only one way" he said firmly. "So I have to get rid of it! No more mercy. His presence has really been a stumbling block to my relationship with Mas Jon. But now she is pregnant. How do I cope with the fetus in the womb?"

After thinking about the various possibilities that could occur, the woman let out a long sigh. The tense expression on his face gradually disappeared. Replacing with a sweet smile that slanted at the corner of his lips.

"Father, thank you for your wobble. I'm not the same there I used to be. I really use logic to solve this tough problem. Please pray There, Papa. For this plan to work...."

Furthermore, the woman who is in the process of learning to master her feelings is back lying on the bed that used to always sleep with her beloved husband. He patted a pillow next to him that used to support Jonathan's head.

"Now, your master will be back here. And I assure you, he'll never leave you again...."

Then Theresia closed her eyes. The look on his face was so happy to imagine the plan he would soon execute in order to reclaim his lost possession.

The next morning Rosa receives an unexpected phone call from her former boss' son. She was still at home, enjoying breakfast with her husband.

"Hello, There," he said politely. "Can Aunt help?"

Bernard who was eating breakfast in front of him watched his wife. Tumben Theresia invited Rosa to meet, she thought in surprise. What's up, huh?

After his wife put down his cell phone, the man could not help but feel his curiosity. "Tumben Theresia called," he commented.

Rosa sighs. The look on his face showed the uneasiness of his heart. "He wants to talk to me from heart to heart. I had to agree. It's so sorry for him, Mom. He lost those closest to him. Maybe I'm the only person he can talk to right now."

"His husband is still going to divorce her?" bernard asked curiously. "Didn't their relationship seem okay at Mr Simon's funeral and Mrs Mila's? In fact I think Theresia and Jonathan will re-refer."

Rosa was silent for a while. She was confused to answer her husband's question. After careful consideration, the woman finally recounts the special relationship between her nephew and Jonathan.

Bernard looked surprised to hear it. The man then remembered that Karin had come to serve Simon with Rosa and himself. His attitude at that time did not talk much in front of Jonathan. Perhaps their relationship is still hidden, Rosa's husband thought in his heart. So in public the two people were trying to be mediocre.

"I'm worried, Mas" said Rosa pouring out her heart. "Today Theresa asked me to speak with four eyes. Maybe she wants to talk about her husband's relationship with Karin. What should I say Mas, if he rebukes me why not block Karin's relationship with Mr Jon?"

Bernard looked at the concerned wife who now looked panicked. Calm the heart of the woman. "Have it, don't think too far. After all, Karin herself doesn't have to tell you, right? Mr. Jon's meeting you to tell me about their relationship."

"But" Rosa answered with a guilty look. "I've never stopped them, Mom. Even though I don't approve of it myself."

"They're both grown up, Ros. You think if they're blocked, they'll take it for granted?"

"Well, at least I tried...."

Rosa's eyes suddenly glazed over. "Frankly there is a little regret in my heart, Mas. I'm the one who recommended that Karin take my place as secretary to Mr. Jonathan...."

Then the woman's cry was unbearable again. Bernard stood up from his chair. He was nearing his life companion. Enfolded his head and stroked his back lovingly. Rosa's sobs are getting worse. He really regretted indirectly having become the bridge of his own niece's forbidden relationship with a man who was still the status of a man's husband.

"Good day, Aunt Rosa. Thank you for taking the time to come" Theresia said kindly. She hugged and kissed both cheeks of her father's former secretary as soon as she appeared in the VIP room of the restaurant.

This room was deliberately booked so as not to get interference with the speech of four eyes with Rosa. He felt more comfortable doing it in a neutral place like this. Not in her own house or the middle-aged woman's house.

"Thank you for the invitation, There. It's been a long time since Auntie has eaten at a restaurant like this at lunchtime" Rosa replied in a small talk.

Theresia put on a concerned look. "Oh, how busy are you, Aunt Rosa's job now? Well, There so bad this is already troublesome Auntie. Forgive There yes, Auntie."
