19. What beauty or clever you choose first

***If you are faced with a miracle that can give you two choices 'beautiful and smart'. Where did you choose.

I'll choose both. Ah so greedy I am that man is sometimes too difficult to choose. It is better to optimise yourself to the maximum***.

*********

My mind if you see beautiful women or photos of them who have a charming face. Luck always and continues to shade them but when looking at Cahya today. The mind changes besides being beautiful there must be another aspect to support it.

Today he came again. Friends who filled my day many years ago. His presence has accompanied adolescence into adulthood then for no reason he is also the one who robs me of the happiness that should be mine. Kumala Cahya.

I looked without feeling at Cahya Kumala. I don't know what feelings I should give. Angry, hate, vengeance or forgiveness?. All mixed together to make my heart numb when faced with him.

He came without shame. Cahya's skin was not as smooth as it used to be, her hair looked dry, her face a little dull looking fine wrinkles began to appear under her eyes. His eyes are not as bright as the Cahya I know but if you do not know Cahya Kumala how many years ago maybe in their view this woman is still beautiful.

"What do you see, Orchid?". I raised an eyebrow and raised my lips slightly forming a cynical smile. A cursory 'mind of your balance determines the appearance of your partner' flashes in this thought. Is in this patemy time the economy of Adicolor declining?.

"you think? Tumben you want to see me?". I leaned back on the chair glancing at the customer seat filled with Miepa visitors. I don't want to provoke Cahya to do anything like Danar's.

"Usaha Adiwarna is on the decline, Orchid. From what I heard Adiwarna asked you to work together again. Yesterday I misunderstood and accused you of being a no-no". Cahya looked at me as if to intimidate. He didn't seem to learn that Orchids aren't like those he used to know. Even his lips were not apologizing.

"Oh yeah, that's right, but I turned it down".

"Haaahh, rejecting your intention there is no time because you have to take care of the sale of noodles and boba". Cahya's eyes wandered around looking at every corner of Miepa with a condescending look. Just as he humbled Adicolor's efforts long ago when it shone he came and took Adicolor from my side.

"Yaaa that.. Privilege as a wealthy family does not exist then have to fight from scratch. Crawl, creeping, ngesot, somersault, salto, coprol. You know how Adi struggles".

Cahya's expression seemed to change as she listened to the sentence from my mouth. The insinuation reminded her of the root where her husband came from.

"I'm not here to argue, Orchid. It's just that all the events can't be reversed all we can do is face it. The past is not repeated nor does it need to be brought always to achieve the future. How Orchid if we all walk together for a good relationship like we were never in that phase".

Cahya's voice softened again to make my stomach nauseous to vomit. This crazy cooperation clearly benefits them. From the past I worked without pay with camouflage word love help lover's effort, My labor only worth the word love fake like a blank check that is not worth.

Getting back together with them obviously benefits Cahya as well. I know the number of followers is decreasing. Confusion determines the present self-image. As a beautiful charming selebgram or as a smart young mother. All is so absurd while new selebgrams that are more fresh with ideas and content are more interesting to attack aggressively.

Living with fake imagery was finally uncovered as well. The financial circumstances of Adiwara and Cahya also seem to be unstable at this time. The lives of those who always want to display successful young families with good looks do not seem to be supported by the stability of their new successful business throughout the corn.

If they are wiser in managing finances in this time of course their business can survive better but see the outfit Cahya seems heavy to suppress the lifestyle. This outfit is what covers the physical appearance of Cahya. He still keeps shopping for high end stuff like him.

Cahya's physical appearance is not as similar as before although it can be said to remain attractive but has decreased a lot because I know him for many years. Beauty does have to be cared for continuously even as time fades away changing fresh tapuman young girls who keep popping up.

"I can't Cahya, my small business still needs to be cared for to grow and keep it going and growing". I could see Cahya's eyeballs slightly enlarged. It is his habit to hear rejection.

"Can't be Cahya". I pressed intonation and stared flatly at Cahya.

"You still have a grudge?".

" Not all has passed".

"You lie still don't want to forget Adicolor". Cahya raised her voice. I dampened my emotions to not cause a commotion.

"Male is not just Adicolor, Cahya.So are the employees you can do not just me". I tried to smile reassuring the foolish-looking woman in front of me at this moment.

"Or do you want our downfall". Cahya's gaze scanned every corner of my face. I don't know where those magical and negative thoughts are present from. Their fall is clear of themselves. How I who refused to join was accused of bringing them down.

"I have never harmed you, no matter your treatment or retaliating for what you do I only leave your efforts selflessly. If you want, I could ask for the part is not I work without ever receiving payment all this time or it turns out that Adiwara business exists because of all my work".

Cahya turned her body. I coded one of the officers to bring coffee and boba. If only you were smart Cahya, everything I have done with Adiwara has resulted. The steps you should take should be to continue what I and Adi have started from zero.

"Here you drink maybe you need caffeine to refresh your brain or boba to cool your heart". Cahya's face looked red, she looked at me with an angry look. The gaze I interpreted as the gaze of someone who lost control of the 'figure' that he could control and be made into a 'root'.

Netra Ku saw someone I knew entering Miepa's door without a second thought I stood up and walked quickly to pull the man.

"Bian you finally came to introduce this Cahya". I dragged Bian from the door to Cahya's chair. The man beside me had not had time to ask even had time to think maybe. My hands are still at home on Bian's arms.

Cahya turned her head with a horrifying look seeing Ku standing beside Bian. This handsome man with a cold gaze and stylish appearance was obviously Cahya's taste in his old age or did he still have the same taste?. I believed the thought just now when the netra showed an envious look.

"I'm Cahya, Orchid's friend. Are you an orchid?". I swallowed the saliva vaporizing the eneg taste. He confirmed the word friend because I would not introduce him as a friend to Bian.

Bian frowned at a glance then returned to his typical classical expression. Cold, Bian only gave a faint smile.

"Oh you're a nobody Orchid? or don't you don't know him?". Highlight was surprised Cahya seemed to find something I could catch. He regretted maybe getting jealous of me.

Bian took my hand slowly on his arm then patted my palm.

"Is it important that I tell you who the Maharani Orchid is to me?".

My hands were suddenly cold as Bian clasped my hands and carried them to his chest.

"Who is he?".

I stood frozen into an ice sculpture what would Bian say?.
