“Don't I ever send a message, if I accompany Qeiza to the abuse case trial during a meeting in Madura?!” ketus Ivander's.
“You sure you're on the right side? It could be that Qeiza who teased your client. She is a widow. She must be thirsty with the caress of a man!” lady Evelyn. Ivander's jaw hardened at Evelyn's condescending speech.
“CCTV monitoring results have proven who is at fault. The court has also decided his verdict, ” Ivander said flatly. Evelyn just smiled sarcastically hearing that.
“Qeiza is not such a woman. If he was thirsty for the caress of a rich man, he could have teased me. But in fact, Qei never teased me at all,” continued the man.
His body was already tired, if he had to listen to the insults thrown by Evelyn for Qeiza, the man was not sure he could hold back the anger on his wife.
Unwilling to prolong the debate with Evelyn, Ivander, who had just arrived from Madura, decided to cleanse her body.
Evelyn looked at the man she had been married to for almost eleven years. A cynical smile returned imprinted on his face.
“You're the only one not tempted by it, Hon. I'm sure, every day, the widow must try her best to look attractive in your eyes,” he muttered.
Evelyn still thinks Ivander won't be interested in Qeiza. Therefore, Evelyn did not feel the slightest fear when Ivander went on an official trip with Qeiza.
In fact, no matter how long Evelyn had not met her husband, there was not the slightest intention in the woman to pay attention to Ivander. Even if only by serving a glass of tea or coffee to her husband. If Ivander asked her to provide a drink, the woman would simply pull the phone and ask the housekeeper to immediately deliver what Ivander had asked to their room.
And, after Ivander finished cleaning himself, Evelyn was no longer in the room. Ivander knew, if the wife would leave soon because when the man arrived at his residence, Evelyn was wrapped in a pretty sexy dress with a face that had been polished thick makeup.
Unlike the Qeiza who never wear open clothes and never use thick makeup. His personal secretary always appeared in a simple and sweet style.
Ivander broke his body. The man is massaging his temple. The more days the state of the household with Evelyn the more bland.
Is this because of the presence of Qeiza?
Ever since she fell in love with the one-child widow, Ivander has often compared Evelyn and Qeiza. Is this the reason why Qeiza does not want to have a married husband? Does she know that Ivander couldn't possibly share love and love fairly?
Because right now, that man is starting to be unfair.
Comparing two women, he shouldn't. Because he is not necessarily ready when compared to other men.
Should he release Evelyn for the sake of Qeiza?
Ivander rubbed his face rough. One corner of his heart, wanting to part with Evelyn. Even the desire to separate is greater than his desire to maintain his household.
Very different from Qeiza, Evelyn had never noticed herself in the past. Over the past few months, Evelyn's attitude grew indifferent to her. I don't know what my wife has been doing lately. Their beds haven't even warmed in months. Evelyn never asked for an inner living on her, nor did Ivander ever give that inner living to his wife.
How can their beds be warm, if their bodies almost never meet consciously. Ivander more often met Evelyn who was asleep. Even on weekends, his wife never stays at home. Ivander was fed up with Evelyn's attitude.
However, to immediately decide to separate, Ivander felt this was unfair to Evelyn. It was impossible just by reason of disappointment, he dropped his talaq on the woman who was almost eleven years beside him. Evelyn also would not want to sign the divorce papers. Ivander was afraid that if it happened, Evelyn would hurt Qeiza. Ivander didn't want that to happen.
But, the man could no longer deny if his love for Evelyn had been eroded, maybe even depleted. While the taste in Qeiza is getting more and more explosive. The desire to have a woman is all the more passionate. Moreover, Qeiza had returned to being warm to him. Even the woman is no longer angry if Ivander seduces her by pinching her nose.
“How can I divorce Ev and me because of the woman's fault? Do I have to frame Evelyn to make her look like she's cheating behind my back?”
Ivander continues to monologue. Think about the possibilities that exist. I want him to frame Evelyn so they can part ways soon. But Ivander's conscience rejected him. Trapping Evelyn was too evil, he thought.
Slandering Evelyn so that she could quickly match up with Qeiza. Ivander's not that nice. Even though he was really fed up with the attitude of his wife.
Instead of searching for Evelyn's fatal mistake in order to get them divorced, Ivander decides to get closer to Qeiza. The man wants to make Qeiza fall in love with him— even though Ivander knows, Qeiza already loves him. But the man wanted the love of Qeiza to be more bloated— until the woman was willing to accept her invitation to marry and become a second wife.
Since her father retired, Qeiza has no longer been picked up by a luxury car. That's where Ivander's been hunching. The man started to drop off and pick up Qeiza for work. At first, Qeiza felt surprised when the man's car was parked in his yard, one morning.
“Starting today, can I drop you off and pick you up?” ask Ivander. Qeiza flinched for a moment. They have indeed been very close and growing closer by the day, since the events in Madura. Even physical closeness.
Although Ivander's lips never again lamented his pink lips— since that romantic night in Madura. But, Ivander often pinched his gnarled cheeks, his nose, even a small shuffle of his hair.
Qeiza has fallen in love with Ivander. And now the man offers to take her and pick her up while working, of course, Qeiza does not refuse that. Being sent and picked up while going and going home to work by a man she liked, certainly made Qeiza happy.
Especially every weekend, Ivander always took the time to play with his children Qiana—. Qeiza is happy.
Qiana is very close to Ivander. The man would even greet Qiana first before taking Qeiza off to work. And also after work. Ivander always chatted first with Qiana. The man even often had dinner with Qeiza and her family.
This makes Melati, starting to feel something unusual with the relationship between the child and his boss.
“Not that Mr Ivan already has a wife?”
