Riani was surprised when she opened the door of her apartment and saw that there was Clark there with 2 men who were quite nervous.
"Have you taken a shower?" clark asked as he saw a towel wrapped around Riani's head.
"Just now."
Clark looked at his watch which was half seven in the morning. He then looked at the two men.
"Can you change it for 1 hour?"
"Of course, handsome." said one of them.
"Change what, Clark?"
"Change your appearance. Your status has changed. It's time to change your appearance, too. People say haircut, throw bad luck."
"My hair?"
"Jack likes your long hair. Prove to her that you can throw away what she likes." Clark whispered.
"But I love this hair too, Jack. " Riani held her head.
"Long hair doesn't suit you. The proof is that you were twice abandoned by your man." Clark said in English.
"Maybe. Yeah, already. I want to make over."
Clark smiled happily.
1 hour later.....
Riani went down the stairs slowly. She wears a black knee-length skirt, a white shirt with no sleeves combined with a black blouse. A shoulder of hair, and a little make up on her face. If Riani used to wear natural, now she appears bold with a slightly lit color but does not look tacky on her face. Her beauty is getting more prominent.
"Wav.....I'm sure your first day at the office will fascinate the men." praise Clark for making Riani blush a little.
"Did you eat boss?" said the two gleaming men simultaneously.
"You'll give me a bonus."
Riani was only able to smile amusedly when she saw the two men cheering happily because they would be given a bonus.
After the two men leave, Clark drives Riani to Jack's house.
"At 8:45, my driver will pick you up here" Clark said before Riani stepped down.
"OK." Riani then stepped down from the car. He saw that the car used by Jack was not in the garage. That's a sign that the boss is no longer home.
Leo greeted Riani with his sweet smile.
"Good morning, madam."
Riani looked at Leo. "Call me as Riani. Because I'm not the lady of this house anymore."
"The Lady is forever in our hearts. We were very sad when we heard that the madam and master had to separate. Madam was very nice to us."
"Where's my hero, Leo? I miss him."
"He's in his room. She cried last night. Maybe find her mom. oh yeah, ma'am. I like the haircut. I almost didn't recognize the lady when I opened the door."
"You could have, Leo. Now I'm going to Reo's room first, okay?." Riani rushed to the second floor. As he passed through Jack's room, Riani's heart trembled. Room full of memories. Riani strengthened her heart. He's going to Reo's room. It just so happened that his son had just woken up. He immediately engraved his hands asking to be hugged by Riani and immediately pulled his old clothes. It seems he is impatient to drink ASI.
Riani gave her breast milk that had been filled in several bottles of milk to the caregiver to store in the refrigerator.
He also bathed Reo and fed his son. When he finished, he put Reo to bed again, then he went to the office.
At lunchtime, Riani will come back to Jack's house, give back ASI to Reo and at half-two he returns to his house.
Returning home from work, Ria returns to Jack's house. He played with his son until the time showed at 9 p.m. After Reo goes to sleep, Clark's driver picks him up.
**********
Not felt, a month already Riani worked in the company owned by Clark. He enjoys his work, enjoys his time with Reo.
Although Riani knows, there are whispers among other employees who begin to question the closeness between Clark and Riani.
Indeed, Riani's appearance is much different than before making many who do not know him as the ex-wife of this famous man in Manchester. Moreover, Riani now uses glasses because she again has to deal with a laptop.
Clark was very satisfied with Riani's work and within a month there was a 12% increase in sales of existing products.
"Clark, why are you still giving me a salary? Didn't I say that the clothes you gave me, the apartment rent, were cut from my salary" Riani said when she met Clark in her room.
"Is that so?"
"Now Reo lives with Jack because you don't have a place to live that is considered adequate. That's why you have to be patient, save money and especially pray."
Riani nodded. "Clark, I'm gonna reimburse Jack the money I took for Arma's redemption. Indeed, I had time to wear it but with the bonus I get from the sales increase, I can complete the amount again."
"You're being too honest, Ri. Already received no monthly money from Jack, still return the money."
Riani could only smile. "Jack has hurt my heart the most. Back when he was chasing me, I tried to open my heart which felt so hard to trust a man. I'm sure that Jack will be my last port. But apparently, he buried all my dreams. I became a widow again. Somehow I will return to Indonesia with this status."
Clark patted the shoulder of Riani who was sitting next to him. "Time will heal him. May God send someone who can make you believe that true love exists."
Riani wiped her tears. "Thank you, Clark. Now I'm just focusing on taking care of Reo first. If it's Arma, I'm not worried because Daniel is with her."
"It's time to go home. You want me to take you to Jack's?"
"I'm going home to the apartment first. Shower and change new clothes to meet Reo. I'll wait for Jack, too."
"Aren't you seeing Jack all this time?"
"No. When I came in the morning, he was gone, and when I came home at night, he hadn't come yet. Leo said, Jack always comes home at 10."
Clark just smiled. He knew Jack was avoiding him. You wimps! You end up tormented with your own feelings.

How nice Cassie was to see Riani in Reo's room.
"Mommy.....!" Cassie immediately hugged Riani with a very longing feeling. "I barely recognize mommy. Why is her hair cut? But mommy is more beautiful with hair like this. Just like ABG."
Riani laughs. Reo who was in his arms laughed.
Cassie, who had chosen one month in the dormitory, did not know the development that occurred. After Riani told him everything, the teenage girl shed tears when she heard that Riani had divorced Jack. Riani also recounts the events of Arma's abduction and what happened between her and Daniel.
"Why didn't mommy ever tell Daddy that?"
"Jack won't listen to him. Never mind. Mommy is too tired of Jack's selfish and stubborn nature. What matters now is that mommy can take care of Reo."
Cassie hugged Riani. "If you knew mommy was here every day, Cassie would be back at home."
Riani stroked Cassie's head lying on her shoulders. Really, he loved Cassie as much as he loved Arma.
At 10 o'clock in 15 minutes, Jack parked his car. He went down while holding a cell phone in his hand. One of his bodyguards immediately took Jack's car into the garage.
Jack came in from the side door that was still open. There was no one in the middle room. Maybe the waiters are in the back. It's Friday, some waiters get their time off.
Jack sat on the sofa and took off his shoes. Sandals are available there. The servants already knew Jack's habit of opening his shoes before going up to the second floor.
As Jack was about to climb the stairs, his steps stopped to see a beautiful woman standing near the stairs. Jack barely recognized her.
"Good night Jack. I was deliberately waiting for you." said Riani trying to hold back the turmoil in her heart. No matter how much hatred in his heart, Riani could not help the tremors in his heart when faced directly with Jack.
"What's wrong?" ask Jack coldly.
Riani handed me a paper. "I've transferred back the money I took as Arma's redemption fee. Here's the proof."
Jack stared at the paper proffered by Riani. Jack was so busy with his work that he didn't pay attention to his cell phone. "You don't have to bother returning it to me."
"I don't want to owe you anything anymore." Riani placed the paper on a small table near the stairs.
"Good night" Riani said before leaving Jack to return home to her apartment. The taxi he booked has now entered Jack's yard. Riani took a deep breath. Holding tightness in his heart. Lord, I beg of you, throw away all these flavors. I don't want to keep a feeling for a man who doesn't really love me.
From behind the glass window of his house, Jack saw Riani who left by taxi. Jack's heart hurts. I don't know what made him have to get sick seeing Riani. Lord, help me forget about Riani.
