THE OWEN HEART BEAT

OWEN-80

Mia's eyes were perfectly rounded when she saw that Owen was really there waiting for her.

The man leaned in front of the car with one hand hidden in his pants pocket, and the other holding a bouquet of flowers.

When Owen finds a look of disbelief from Mia, the man displays a faint smile that Mia believes makes her feel uncomfortable.

Mia was completely inexhaustible, what Owen was actually doing. Isn't it clear that their relationship is over? even that has been going on for a long time. Then why?

''What are you doing here Owen?" mia asked with a slightly hunting breath. She ran? Ah sweetness.

''Nothing is. Just waiting for you, Owen replied casually. The man also showed a faint smile with a gentle look in his eyes.

A look that will make Mia pound in embarrassment. Owen used to do it. But not anymore.

Mia was upset. Plus the answer that came out of Owen's mouth was not the answer that Mia wanted to listen to.

''Are you playing me?" mia said annoyed. "And you just said that just because you were waiting for me? Do you think this makes sense? why are you,-''

No. gabe. No. gabe. This is not true. Why should he be angry? God fucking. I should have just ignored it. I should have refused firmly even though this man said he wanted to barge in. Why are you so stupid Mia!

Seeing the look of annoyed eyes mixed with doubt on Mia's face, Owen smiled again. He walked a step closer to Mia and closed the distance between them.

Mia's eyes were back. They were really close, even too close. ''So I saw you, I mean you.'' said Owen. The man did not look at Mia. But behind the bowed face, Mia could feel a different aura, and that feeling made Mia shudder in horror.

''What's with you in there is your boss, I mean that Mension guy, where you worked first? you still working with him?'' tanya Owen switched the conversation.

This time the man looked at himself with a different look in his eyes. The look that says if Mia has done something wrong.

''Yes.'' Mia's voice is short. ''If you came just to,-'' not to mention Mia finished her sentence, Owen again interrupted by offering a bouquet of flowers that he had been holding since. ''For you.'' he said in the same tone.

Mia's feelings turned agitated. He just stared at the flower. The same flower that Elston had given him. Is this a coincidence?

But Mia did not move a bit, nor did she say anything. Mia could not accept flowers from Owen.

Because in there, he had already received flowers from another man. And right now, it's not a good time to hesitate. Even Mia did not intend to hesitate in the least.

''Owen, sorry,-

''You want to say that you can't accept it because you're with your boss?'' Owen again interjected, making Mia back in silence.

''No. ''No. It's not like that.''

''Then let's just go in.'' Owen pulls Mia's hand, intending to hold her. However, either because of a feeling of reluctance or indeed instinctively he did so, Mia brushed Owen off.

The girl is still staring.

Aware of Mia's rejection makes Owen face the girl again. This time Owen's face was softer than before.

''You don't want me to hold you for fear that someone will secretly photograph us?'' The man's words made Mia think back to the initial problems of the end of their relationship.

''Just relax. No one followed me to this place. Besides I don't mind being reported with you.'' Owen smiled slightly. But not with Mia. The girl looked back at Owen with an unfamiliar look.

And it made Owen's heart uncomfortable. ''You're not with Mr. Stuard?" the word Owen made Mia flinch.

''You know Elston?" Mia distracted.

Elston's? You called her first name? Hid. You guys are closer than I thought. In silence Owen kept all the jealousy that began to flare in his chest.

Although he felt angry inside, but Owen would not show all that in front of Mia, not for now. He has to hold it.

...How dare that man approach my woman!...

''Of course. We are also colleagues. We just met this afternoon. And because you're here, all of you. There's something important I want to ask him directly. But before that, this, first accept my flowers.'' Owen was still pampering with his initial goal.

Without waiting for Mia's approval, Owen immediately grabbed the girl's hand and made her follow Owen obediently.

Mia had no idea that Owen and Elston had been friends. He was prejudiced that no-no. But as it turned out, he was only too worried because of the problems that were going on between them.

''Do you really know? since when?'' mia asked while occasionally looking at Owen. He wanted to know all about Elston that he didn't know. Maybe, Owen knows.

''You think I'm lying. Just ask your beautiful boss. We just met this afternoon."

Did ya?

"There's a funny thing I asked her.'' added Owen still holding Mia's hand. Even the appearance of the two is more like a pair of lovers compared to ex or prospective lovers.

"I don't know if you guys are that close. Even you shared a funny thing together." Mia commented in response to Owen's words. The girl thought about everything carefully.

Hearing Mia's response, Owen made a wider smile than before. The girl next to him was like this. Very sweet and also plain.

"As colleagues shouldn't we have a good relationship? do you think otherwise?" Owen patted Mia's hand which was within his grasp. The girl nodded with a smile.

Men are friends with men. Waitie? is the mind right? sure is. There's no way Elston would fall in love with Owen. Although Mia must admit that Owen is indeed very charming.

No. gabe. No. gabe. That's not true. It was just my stupid thoughts. Aren't they both business people? there is nothing wrong if you add a relationship as well as close friends. Thought again.

When the door opened again, Elston who had never let go of his eyes from there had now been burning with jealous flames.

How not. The girl he had just asked to live with, was now holding hands with another man. More precisely the man who forced to hold the hand of his little girl.

As Mia realizes Elston's gaze is fixed on her, Mia reflexively pulls her hand out of Owen's grasp.

''Good night Mr. Stuard, we meet again.'' said Owen kindly. The man smiled. It was as if he was a guest at that place. In a matter of seconds, Owen's eyes were immediately fixed on the bouquet of flowers left behind in Mia's chair.

The same flower as the flower that is currently in the arms of the woman. Owen again showed a triumphant smile.

On the contrary, Elston's face looked stiff. At times like this it is very difficult for him not to show jealousy. You fucking jerk.

''Seems like we do meet up a lot." commented Elston with a flat face. Elston wanted to put on a face like he used to, but he couldn't. Even more so when they were in this kind of situation.

''What's the matter until you're here Mr. Reaghal, you didn't come here just to join our dinner, did you? because there's no way someone like you can't buy dinner by yourself" Elston said.

"After all, we still have something to talk about. And we're currently doing a private dinner.'' Obviously Elston really let out his annoyance.

''We? you and Mia?'' Owen chuckles. Mia who still did not understand the situation had already returned to the chair she had left.

"Aren't you sitting?" mia told Owen. And those words certainly made Elston even more annoyed.

Unlike again with Owen who is currently smiling sweetly and looking at Mia with the gaze of a lover.

"Later. Mr.Stuard hasn't allowed that" Owen said softly. "I don't want to disturb. Like I said, I just wanted to ask you something."

Do friends have to be this ugly? Mia doesn't speak anymore. His gaze now turned to Elston.

At first glance Mia could see the anger from the look on the face, but when their eyes met, Elston's face softened. The man smiled gently and gave a small nod to Mia.

"Come to my Afrodite." call Elston hinting with his wiggly hand. Whatever happens, he has to win this fight.

"What's wrong?" Mia got up from her seat wanting to approach Elston. But just as he stood up, Owen spoke again.

''I was a little confused.'' said the man made Mia come to stop his steps. ''You remember our conversation, right?'' continued Owen looked at Elston with furrowed brows.

''Didn't you say this afternoon that you didn't know Mia?"

Me? they talk about me? when they were together? what the fuck are they both. Mia was upset again.

"But looking at all this, I think you're a little disrespectful for being here with the woman I love, and obviously you know the truth.'' said Owen who consciously showed his dislike for Elston.

Degs...

"You also say that you don't want to be involved with a woman who still has a relationship with her past." Owen smiled amusedly. "Are you lying?"

Elston's body stiffened. It felt like he really wanted to present one raw bogem to the face that was currently talking to him.

Mia was still listening to Owen. He was digesting what the two men were currently talking about.

''This girl.'' Owen looked at Mia. ''She is the same girl. Allura Mia. The woman I loved a long time ago.'' Now Mia was really surprised when she heard Owen's confession again.

"The same woman you clearly told me you didn't know." Damnit.

Braak!

Elston hit the table in front of him. This time not only Mia, but the maids around them were also taken aback.

"Who do you think you are? You're just a trashy man expecting to get back the love you've wasted." Elston replied, in a furious voice.

Just this time Mia saw Elston get angry like this. And unfortunately again, Mia's body was trembling. He didn't want a fight between the two men.

"He was no longer the same Mia Allura. It's no longer the woman who loves you" said Elston who pulled Mia's hand until the girl was actually standing next to him.

Seeing that Owen clenched his hands furiously. His jealousy has reached the crown.

Elston looked at Mia with angry eyes mixed with worry. "Tell him Mia. Tell him that you no longer love him" said Elston demanding.

Mia's eyes were rounded with a sense of heat that crawled her quickly. His mind is back to chaos. What's he supposed to do?

"Say Mia!" urged Elston to yell. Although he actually did not intend that. Mia lowered her head quickly while her tears fell back. For a moment he saw the look on Owen's wounded face.

But on the other hand, Mia also did not want to hurt Elston's feelings..

"You're right Els" said Mia, the girl was crying. "I don't love him anymore."
