They Say, I'm a Liar

Divorcement

“Sorry yes, because this afternoon Mas can not accompany you to eat. There are things that need to be discussed with Papi,” said Ivander, when they were in the office. Ivander turned to the woman who was now just looking at him.

“What do you want to ask? Or is there something you want to talk about?” ask Ivander. The man approached Qeiza at her desk. Ivander only needed to skate a little with his chair until he arrived at the side of the Qeiza, because their workbench was right next to each other.

“Do you want to talk about the same thing with Papi?”

“Same thing?” ask the man. Qeiza nodded.

“About divorce,” clear Qeiza. Ivander exhaled heavily then smiled at the woman he now valued.

“Finally, you do not want to give suggestions or comments.”

“Can I speak frankly, Mas?”

Qeiza was really doubtful, did she have to reveal her true heart to the husband? Would that man not be offended, even labeling her as a selfish woman if she expressed her feelings?

“Qei ... Of course, I want to know what's in your heart and mind. It's very desirable, in fact. You're too closed, Qei. We are already married. Share with me.”

“Do you know that I am often gossiped in this office?”

“Di gunjing?”

Qeiza nodded slowly, “iya Mas. They label me as an actor,” said the woman as she lowered her head. Ivander immediately took the woman in his arms. The man led Qeiza up to the sofa, so that the wife felt more comfortable in his arms.

“Do you feel like an actor? Do you feel like you took me from Ev?”

Qeiza shook her shoulders, “entahlah Mas. All I know, if Mas then divorced Mba Ev, people would label me with a worse name than the actor.”

Ivander scratched his hair. The man didn't think that if he married Qeiza, it would be bad for her social life.

Should she announce to the world, how did Ev treat her so that she could turn to the tenderness of Qeiza's heart?

Should the man tell her that Evelyn has always been indifferent to him, and only wants her property?

Why is everyone just blaming Qeiza. Though he was the first to be lured to his second wife.

“I'm sorry, Qei. I'm sorry for bothering you.”

Qeiza. The woman did not return an apology from Ivander. It's not Ivander's fault. He is also guilty of this. He was so easily lulled by the man's attitude, even though he knew Ivander was a married man, at that time. Dubbed as a performer, Qeiza can only accept with a chest roomy.

After all, people also know, if the relationship with Evelyn is going well.

But, if Ivander and Evelyn parted ways, what would people think of her?

They must have accused him of inciting Ivander.

“Evelyn is indeed so smart to play the situation. I'll think of the best way for us. You, me and him. Don't worry ya.”

Qeiza just nodded her head in her husband's arms. She hopes to be the only wife of Ivander Bratajaya. But is that possible?

Last night, Ivander revealed his heart. The man was no longer comfortable on Evelyn's side. That night, Ivander made her float. Ivander said she was the only woman now enthroned in the man's heart.

If Ivander had been his, would Evelyn have accepted it? Would that woman have wanted it divorced by Ivander? They have been sailing the ark for almost eleven years. People would definitely put a far worse label than an actor, on him. Could he have accepted that slur all his life?

Qeiza hoped that what Ivander would decide would really be good for the three of them.

Qeiza was still at home in her husband's arms, as the man's phone rang.

“Try first sighting, Mas. Who knows papi who called,” said Qeiza, when Ivander did not want to let go of his decapitation.

Lazily, Ivander snatched his phone that was on the desk. The man exhaled a rough breath as he stared at the name on his phone screen.

“Why?” sniff the guy.

“Where are you?”

“In the office,” replied Ivander lazily.

“We've been married almost eleven years. You should have missed my work schedule! You are too busy with yourself to always ignore me!”

Seeing Ivander talking through a phone call in a slightly screaming voice, made Qeiza want to approach Ivander, then rubbed the man's arm, so that Ivander could dampen his sense of regret.

But, Qeiza didn't do that. Without being told by Ivander, Qeiza was convinced that the one who contacted the man was Evelyn. Qeiza did not want to interfere in the husband's problems with his first wife.

“You went too fast, Van. You are the owner of the company, you should relax a little.”

“This is my Papi company, if you forget. I'm just an employee he pays every month!” ketus Ivander's.

“Already, you don't rent that. Since we can't have breakfast together, I'll be at the office later in the afternoon, we'll eat together. This time it was just the two of them. It's been a long time we didn't eat alone,” whine Evelyn.

“Today I have a lunch appointment with Papi.”

“Then you pick me up before you meet papi. Lunch with papi is also no problem.”

Ivander exhaled a rough breath. The man was tired of saying Evelyn.

“You know, if that papi never liked you? Qei just didn't join us.”

Qeiza not invited? Though Qeiza was the son-in-law that the elderly man was very much looking forward to. Evelyn did not believe the words of her husband. The woman decided that if it was noon, she would go to the company to prove her suspicions.

“Then, you do not forget to come home here yes, later in the afternoon.”

Ivander did not immediately answer Evelyn's words. The man refused to return to Evelyn's residence. Not necessarily later tonight he can escape to the residence of Qeiza like last night.

“Hon, you heard right? Go home later, you should come back here, yeah. You should be with me this week!” order Evelyn.

Ivander simply answered him with a thud. After giving a long-distance kiss, Evelyn disconnected the phone call.

Ivander's face immediately tangled. The man stepped back, approaching Qeiza who was still sitting on the sofa.

Ivander leaned his head against Qeiza's shoulders. The man apologized again. This afternoon, he could not accompany Qeiza to lunch. Even tonight, he could not hug the woman to sleep.

“Indeed it should have been Mas staying there. Mba Ev just asked for one Sunday, Mas. I've been holding Mas for a month. Maybe, for the future, Mas can take turns staying every one week.”

Ivander again let out a heavy sigh.

***

Two hours before lunch, Ivander and Ivona visited their father's residence.

Anggara Pratama— Ivona—'s husband was already there a few minutes before Ivander and Ivona arrived

“What do you want to talk about, Van?”

“There's been an awkward attitude with Ev lately,” Ivander replied.

“Lately? Lately have you always met that brash woman?!”

Ivander shook his head. The man told about Evelyn's desire to be-so, since they vacationed in Paris. Ivander also recounts Evelyn satisfying her own desires while staring at the phone screen.

“Since I've Papi said. Something's wrong in the brain ******that's!” andreas.

“Ga, try to help you investigate Evelyn. Ask for help with your friend at that time. Monitor him every time he gets out of the house. Follow him wherever he goes. Make sure the detective gives you updates every hour.”

“Beres Pi's. And there's actually something I know about Evelyn.”

All eyes now look at Anggara. Including Ivona. She also did not know what her husband wanted to report.

“I've known about this since two years ago. However, I hesitated to convey it because Mas Ivan's love was so great to Evelyn before. I'm afraid Mas Ivan doesn't believe me, then accuses me of lying.”

Anggara is seen sending a photo that makes everyone who is now staring at a mobile phone, widening their eyes.

“Why didn't you say that long ago, Beb. This could be the reason Mas Ivan divorced the woman who did not know herself!”
