Beautiful Affair
BA #23 - Another Affair

Ryan kept his promise to find out who the Pita family was, although he had a little trouble because Ryan did not know many people in Indonesia. All she could rely on and truly trust was Viona.

While on the other hand, Calista and Jared seem happy with what Daniel is going through because they both hold grudges for what Alira did to Calista.

In fact, Calista accidentally spreads cctv footage while Daniel is drunk at the club, then drags Calista into the car and eventually gets into the car.

The video quickly spread, and continued to be shared and became a heated conversation that Daniel had cheated on his wife.

Alira who also saw the video could only hold back her tears, holding tightness in her chest, as well as her anger.

It's been a week for Daniel to be treated, but he hasn't shown any progress, nor has the woman named Pita.

And during this one week, Ryan was always there for him, who encouraged him, became his leaning place, even where he poured out all his tiredness in the face of this calamity. And Alira always calms down whenever Ryan says. "I'm here."

Alira remembers all of Ryan's kindness, Ryan's concern, as Ryan wiped her tears and treated her wounds, Alira also remembers how the man looked at her with a sad look. Alira always felt safe, comfortable and peaceful whenever Ryan was beside her

...

Meanwhile, Ryan and Viona are currently in a rundown housing they suspect Pita's home address. They asked the surrounding residents and from the information they got, Pita did not have a family, which is why so far no one has sought or reported the loss of Pita.

After getting enough information, Ryan and Viona left the place.

"I think you're in love with that woman" Viona said, putting her seatbelt on.

During this one week, Ryan has always been with Alira, even Ryan has not kept his promise to meet with Viona. It ignites the flames of jealousy on Viona's day, as Ryan changes.

"What's? In love? Which woman?" Ryan asked with a deep frown.

"Alira," Viona replied limply and with a sour face.

Ryan had opened his mouth to answer, but somehow his tongue felt funny and he found no words to answer Viona's question.

Viona who did not get the answer can only smile wryly and he threw his face out of the car, while Ryan began to drive his car back to the hospital.

...... ...

At the hospital, Alira was about to go home because it was late afternoon. As she walks down the hospital hallway, Alira hears people whispering about Daniel whose good name has been tarnished.

Not only that, now they also question the sincerity of Alira's love. They gossip that Alira married Daniel for his own property and they believe that Alira knew of Daniel's affair.

"Alira, what's wrong?" Alira asked worriedly when she saw the tears on Alira's cheeks.

"I... I want to go home, Ryan. I want to take a shower, I want to take a break" replied Alira Lirih.

"Alright, we go through the back so no one sees us" Ryan and Alira nodded obediently. Ryan also put his jacket on Alira and took her out of the hospital.

...

At home, Alira tells Ryan what she heard from people, Alira feels sad because her name is also smeared. Ryan also tells Alira that Pita does not have a family, she is a kara.

"So what should I do now, Ryan? I want to clear Daniel's name, because then my name is also clean, besides, Daniel is still my husband and it's my duty to keep his good name."

"I understand" said Ryan. "We'll find a solution together, Al. Don't worry." he continued.

"But my decision has been unanimous to divorce from Daniel," said Alira then with a wry smile.

Ryan didn't know what to say, he could only smile faintly. "Why are you just silent?" Ask Ryan.

"I don't know what to say, Alira. I don't understand household and romance issues, Alira," Ryan replied.

"I'm so tired, Ryan. I don't know when Daniel will wake up, when I can feel happiness again, I'm tired of all this pain and tears" she said, which made Ryan's heart throb, especially when looking into Alira's eyes which implied a deep wound.

"Don't say that" said Ryan softly, even cupping Alira's cheek, staring at Alira's eyes intensely. "All will be over soon and you will be happy again" he continued, which immediately made Alira's lips smile.

The two stared at each other, so deeply, that they touched the recesses of their hearts. The faces of the two were so close, even Alira could feel Ryan's warm breath hitting her face and it made her heart pound.

Unknowingly, the two were now closer, as were the lips of the two.

Neither Ryan nor Alira can think clearly, especially when their lips meet and touch each other.

Alira closed her eyes, and at that moment she felt a sweep of Ryan's lips and lips. It was just a touch, but Alira's blood was already rustling warmly and her body was bristling.

Feeling Alira's soft lips, Ryan's brain became blank and he wanted to feel those lips even more....
