A few days after Joyce returned to Jakarta to live her routine as usual. Alex is still calling her or texting her just asking her circumstances. Since his return from Bandung Alex has not seen Joyce again.

This afternoon after work when Joyce just went down to his office lobby he saw Sakha waiting in front of the office lobby. Joyce approached Sakha with her faint smile greeting.

" How are you Sakha?" greet Joyce while hugging Sakha.

" My good news is, can we have dinner together ?" ask Sakha quietly .

" Okay, where do we eat "saw joyce.

" Your favorite, seafood how "to take Sakha while holding Joyce's hand to Sakha's car.

Before long the car that Sakha drove was on the highway to Joyce's favorite seafood restaurant.

The car entered the parking lot of a simple seafood restaurant.

Sakha shrugs Joyce's shoulder into the restaurant. Joyce sits on a restaurant chair that Sakha corners in order to talk calmly with Joyce.

The waiter arrives and Sakha starts ordering Joyce's favorite food.

" So what's up Sakha? According to your habits, you must have taken me to a place like this there must be something you want to talk about ", Joyce said frankly.

" Akh you know me too well Joyce but why can't you fall in love with me. You made me look like I was. "sakha said with her teasing.

" Stop joking or I make the crab you ordered enter your mouth with a whole "saw Joyce makes Sakha laugh at her threats.

Their ordered food arrived, they ate leisurely while talking lightly. Sakha's laughter sometimes echoes Joyce's angry words to her because Sakha always annoys her.

After the meal was over they continued their chat in the restaurant while drinking their order warm lemon tea.

" I'm the one who should be apologizing to you, as long as we're married I can never love you. Even I never did my duty as your wife "Joyce apologized while bowing his face.

Eventually, the misunderstandings about their relationship were resolved. Sakha promises to meet Elissa and asks her to marry her, perhaps indeed Elissa is her match.

Alex and Sakha are told a story Joyce never knew.

Alex met Sakha some time ago explaining all her problems.

All Alex did in the past was to protect Joyce from the attacks of her business opponents who at that time disliked Joyce and Alex's relationship. The family of Alex's ex-fiancee, the Tania family who seek to harm Joyce and destroy the Joyce family's efforts through Alex's treacherous confidants. His business opponent's plan is to take down Alex by pitting Alex and Joyce's family relationship that was close since they were children.

But luckily there are still some people Alex trusts who are still loyal to accompany Alex in the company.

" Joyce about your vulgar photo with Alex, it's just an edit Alex deliberately made to prove to his business opponents that you're just partners in bed so they don't bother you and your family " obviously Sakha while staring at Joyce inside.

" One more thing I'm sure you know, Edgar loves you. Gosh why my rival so much Joyce "Sakha snorted annoyedly.

" That's because I'm so sweet sakha "Joyce winks her eyes teasing Sakha.

"Alright I give up chasing after you Joyce, but if you want to come back, I'll always accept you." said sakha teasing her.

" You're still flocking, do you want me to suck your mouthful crab's back" Joyce said as he nodded his drink glass, gulped down and got up from his seat.

" Take me to the office to get my car "pinta Joyce while stepping out of the restaurant.

Joyce's thoughts are glaring about Edgar and Alex. Alex is a man who can destroy the fortress of his heart.

And Edgar, the handsome man who captivated him with his softness.

Sakha pays for her cashier food and rushes after Joyce who is leaning against the car door .

They rectified a misunderstanding that happened a few years ago.

Let go of what they cannot hold.

At least their relationship could improve unlike that of a stranger anymore.
