The Second Ring

Chapter Eleven

In the afternoon, Adelle plans to have lunch outside the office. He was eager to eat dessert and drink coffee in Caffe Langannya.

"It's this late, it's best to eat a dessert and have coffee, isn't it, Rey?" adelle asked looking at her Assistant who was standing next to her desk.

Reyno nodded her head, "Yes, Mom. Do you want me to buy you a dessert and a coffee?" bargain Reyno.

Adelle shook her head, "No, no. I want to go directly to the subscription place. Do you want to come along? take Jessica with you, too" Adelle replied. I want to invite his Assistant and Secretary.

"I can't come, Mom. Because there is urgent work. Jessica also seems to have a lunch appointment with a friend. I heard him talking on the phone earlier" Reyno replied explaining the situation.

Adelle nodded her head, "Oh, so. Yeah, well then. Let me go alone" said Adelle.

Adelle left with her bag out of her room. He walked casually thinking about the dessert menu in his subscription Caffe. His smile floated just by thinking of a sweet snack.

While passing through the waiting room in the lobby, he was called by Lalisa who was still waiting for Adelle.

"Adelle .." call Lalisa to walk quickly to Adelle.

"La-Lalisa .. " murmured Adelle looked at Lalisa who was walking towards her.

"Why did this woman come looking for me to the office? I don't feel good, "inner Adelle.

Adelle was shocked, she did not think Lalisa would wait for her. What would happen if he didn't go out to lunch? will Lalisa also wait until the hours of returning from work? I thought Adelle.

"Hallo, sorry to stop you all of a sudden" said Lalisa softly.

Although awkward Adelle greeted back. He asked, did Lalisa not receive a message from her Assistant? and Lalisa replied, if she had been told, but was deliberately waiting for Adelle because she wanted to talk about something.

"Can you take a minute?" ask Lalisa.

Seeing Lalisa who looks sad, Adelle finally invited Lalisa to move places.

"Yes, okay. Come on, come with me." Take Adelle.

***

Adelle and Lalisa go to the cafeteria and have lunch together. Adelle ordered Lalisa's latest menu in her office cafeteria, like the menu she ordered.

"Sorry, yeah. I don't know what you like. So I ordered the same menu as me. It's our canteen's latest menu" Adelle said.

"Oh, yeah. Its alright. I can eat anything, thank you" Lalisa said awkwardly.

Lalisa lowered her head and apologized straight away. He didn't mean to bother Adelle, but he didn't know who else to go to. Adelle felt no appetite. Not because of the existence of Lalisa, but indeed he did not want to eat heavy food. He had imagined eating a dessert and drinking coffee, in fact he could not go because of Lalisa.

"You know how else. Looks like I'll have to put off eating a dessert and drinking coffee, "inner Adelle.

Adelle would not want to taste the menu that ordered a little. He looked at Lalisa who was just silent. Adelle Latas asked, What need did Lalisa come? Lalisa was silent for a while, then spoke. He told me what happened to Adelle.

"Huh? what's he telling you? what the fuck is James. You rotten man!" adelle mamaki James's.

Lalisa said, she knows herself, she should not bother with Adelle. It's just that Adelle has been with James for so long, she wants to make sure of Adelle. Is James a selfish and stubborn man? that was the question Lalisa asked.

Adelle smiled, and asked Lalisa. Did Lalisa date James just for being handsome? if so, Lalisa misjudged people.

"He is handsome, and also tempramen. That selfishness has dominated him from the beginning" Adelle said.

Adelle added, if he actually does not want to bring up or talk about something related to James. It was just that he was shocked, when Lalisa asked an unexpected thing.

"I didn't expect to get any surprising questions" said Adelle lalisa.

Lalisa asks what does Adelle mean? if James is selfish, how can Adelle survive for five years?

"How could you and James have been together that long?" ask Lalisa to know.

while he was only a few months in touch it feels like he wants to die.

"You're very curious, aren't you?" said Adelle.

Adelle looked at Lalisa and said, that's the difference between the two. Adelle and James got married after a long time. Dating for approximately two years and Adelle knows very well the stubborn nature of James that can not be ignored by anyone. It's just that James always keeps his promises and doesn't disappoint.

That was James' best side at the time. For Adelle stubborn or selfish is not a problem, because he also never demands anything from James. You could say both have their own lives, before or after marriage. Each other never bothered each other in any business.

James gave everything he owned, and took full responsibility like a husband in general. Adelle and James' relationship was normal. If there was a party, the two of them would go together. Same night sharing bed and blanket together. Indeed the husband-wife relationship between James and Adelle is less fiery. Because both are busy and must be tired, if you have to keep watch at night.

"Ahh .. maybe because it's also our relationship that looks harmonious is actually mediocre. He got tired of that life and tried new things. Like ... " Adelle stopped her words. He looked at Lalisa in front of him.

Adelle said, to be honest he was very surprised, when he found out James was cheating. Because Adelle does not like to be betrayed, she also chose to divorce James.

"Other women may be able to accept, but I'm not. That's why I filed for divorce. It is unfortunate indeed, our relationship that has been established all this time is destroyed just because of someone," said Adelle.

For Adelle, once a liar, it's a liar. He would no longer believe the words of that man.

Deg ...

Lalisa's heart stopped beating. He doesn't know what else to say.

"I'm already crazy. How can I make a woman this good have to accept the pain of divorce. I'm stupid, so stupid!" inner Lalisa.

Hearing Adelle's words, Lalisa felt ashamed. He knows if his actions are wrong. If you recall, Lalisah who first teased James until James fell in love with him and Lalisa also invited James to sleep together. Lalisa wants to master James completely to the point of blinding James's eyes and mind.

"It's humiliating. As a fellow woman, I shouldn't be greedy, right. Even though I knew James was married, I still tried so hard to tease him that James could not resist me at that time. Whether it's a momentary love, or I'm really crazy, it's still all wrong." Lalisa's mind was sad.

"Aren't you supposed to understand that from the beginning? but, yeah .. It's all too late. Neither you nor James will be able to turn back time. Now all I can say is, live well and take care of your son. Talk to James with a cool head. Teach the man not to be selfish and understand you" Adelle said.
