The Love That Is Taken

Meet Eric at Karin's House

With eyes full of regret, the woman said, "I want to apologize for my unpleasant actions during our one-stop stay, Mas. It often happens outside my will. The depression I've been through from not being able to give you offspring has really brought me down."

The woman then took a long breath. She looked at her husband with friendly eyes. Then he continued, "I'm glad you finally found a woman who can give you what I can't. God is not sleeping. He gives what His kind people deserve. I've contacted my lawyer to speed up our divorce proceedings."

"Thank you very much, Theresia," said Jonathan happily. His wife's hand. The woman's heart is beating. A warm feeling enveloped his heart. Thank you, Lord. I finally managed to touch my husband's heart, he said gratefully in his heart. Soon we will be together again and live happily as before.

Throughout the afternoon until evening the Jonathan property exhibition was packed with visitors. Some property transactions are done at that time. He and all team members were very satisfied with the results of the exhibition which was held during the two days.

"Other times we should have another exhibition like this, sir," suggested one of the marketing members cheerful. He was delighted to close three deals during the exhibition. Jonathan nodded with a big smile. His men are increasingly skilled in prospecting clients now. He doesn't have to intervene anymore.

He saw his watch. Half nine o'clock in the night. If he's out of the mall now, then he'll be at Karin's house around nine.

"I'm sorry everyone" he said, cupping his hands in front of his face. "I have to go home now. There are important things I need to take care of right away. You've all been working hard for the past two days. Thank you very much."

His men responded to their boss's sentences with thanks, caution on the road, and so on. Jonathan smiled widely then passed away leaving the exhibition arena. He took a quick step towards the elevator that would take him to the car park. His heart was really impatient to meet Karin, the girl who was containing her flesh and blood.

Jonathan is astonished to see an unknown car parked in front of Karin's house. Who are these nights meeting at Karin's house? Is that Mr Bernard's car, Miss Rosa's husband? he thought it was full of question marks.

The man got out of the car and stepped towards the fence. "Tumben is not locked," he commented, seeing a fence that was not locked at all and opened a little. The car that Karin used to drive as usual was in the carport. Passed the car and stepped steadily towards the terrace of the house.

The entrance of Karin's house. A few moments later it was opened by someone from inside. It was a surprise that Jonathan saw this man.

.

"Gear!" he shouted while wide in disbelief. Why is this guy visiting here all night? And why did Karin accept it? Doesn't he like to be in a relationship with an ex? jonathan doesn't understand.

Then he saw the young man wearing a T-shirt and shorts like he was relaxing at home. What the fuck?!

"Oh, Mr. Jonathan. Let's go in," said the handsome young man with a big smile. He took a few steps back so that the man who was more senior than him could pass. "Please sit down, sir. I call Karin first," he continued as he stepped inside the house.

Jonathan gawked at the young man's words just now. Is it not wrong? mind's irritated. You should be the one sitting here waiting and I'm the one going inside looking for my lover!

What is Karin's ex-boyfriend doing here? inner growled. The last time he met her in the hospital, Karin even fled to the toilet because she did not want to linger talking to him. Lha, this is even a night-time guest. Wear casual clothes like at home again!

Soon after, Karin appeared wearing a t-shirt and shorts. That made Jonathan's heart collapse, the girl walked towards him while being embraced by Eric!

Oh, My God! Did I not see wrong?! jonathan in his heart. Fires of anger began to flare in his heart.

"Mas Jon," said Karin awkwardly. "Why come here at night? Didn't you get tired of keeping the exhibition all day at the mall?"

The lover glared at the unexpected question coming out of the girl's mouth. Why come here at night? Then what did Eric do to be here those nights as well?! his mind does not accept.

The young man's voice cleared softly. "Honey," he said affectionately to Karin. "I think you'd better have a chat with Mr. Jon here. I'll just wait inside, yeah."

The darling? jonathan in his heart. Who do you dare call my girlfriend that? Also how dare your hand touch Karin's shoulder!

The girl nodded slowly. The young man's hand was touched for a moment before leaving him. The flame in Jonathan's heart grew fiery watching the scene.

Once Eric's figure is no longer visible, Jonathan immediately vent his anger. "What's this, Karin? Why would Eric be here and you let him touch you?!" the door demands an answer.

Karin took a long breath. No question of the lover answered. Instead he thrust a small envelope covered in brown.

"This is my resignation letter, Jon. My duties have given everything to Maya. He's mastered it now. If anyone forgets, he can call me on the phone. And this, '" he said, handing over the key and the man's entry card. "Return everything to you. My personal belongings in your apartment I took them all back this afternoon. Thank you for all the wonderful memories between us. I'm sorry I had to hurt you this way...."

This time Jonathan couldn't take it anymore. "Hurt me? What do you mean do all this? You're not just hurting me, Karin! But broke me!" hysterical shouting.

He no longer cared that his voice would be heard outside the house. His heart was broken to pieces. Never suspected that the girl whose character is this gentle valley will be able to betray her love.

Karin gulps. His heart feels amazing. It was eager for him to immerse himself in Jonathan's lap as usual in need of consolation. She was eager to shout out the threat Theresa posed to her loved ones if she refused to approve the offer. It wants him so much....

Well, his wishes are so much. But none of that could be said to this man she loved so much. I'm sorry, Jon, the mind is sad. I really had to do all this. For the good of all. Perhaps if God willed, this veil would be opened to you....

"Why do you want to be in touch with Eric again? Didn't we meet him at the hospital the other day, you even ran away to the toilet because you couldn't stand him for long?" sergeant Jonathan demanded an explanation.
