Before Divorce
Chapter 2 - PoV Shiena

After cleaning myself up, I looked at myself in front of the mirror. I still can't believe I went back 11 years.

"Aw!" Again and again I pinched my cheek. And it hurts. I'm not dreaming.

I smiled looking at my young face that still looked dull. Everything feels back.

I'm looking for something. My cellphone. It's on the nightstand by the bed. I'm picking it.

I smile back. This is my old phone. I hugged the phone.

I got out of my room to have breakfast with my family. This tradition has always been done in my family. I love the atmosphere of the children gathering.

Mommy painfully served Dad and all of us. I'm very happy. My mom and dad are my idols. I really want to have a wedding like them.

Waitaminute! Talk about marriage... It means I haven't met Mas Willy. Yeah, true! I repeated a time where I had not met and known him.

"Oh yes, She. Later that night you get ready! There will be a corporate birthday party. You have to dress up beautiful. Many of my colleagues came with their families."

Father's words made me round my eyes. Aye! This is that day. The day I first met Mas Willy.

But, why did I travel the time that coincided with the day of my meeting. Akh, fuck! I need to find an excuse not to go to that party.

"Dad, why should I come? It's a father and brother party! I'm in the room! I have a busy college assignment. The pleeaassee!" I begged my father and mother. I hope they understand.

"Can't do it, She! You have to come!" Bang Shandy even made the mood worse.

Duh, how's this? Why can't I change my destiny?

On campus I met my two best friends, Anila and Friska. They were my best friends from High School. And now the three of us are studying at the same college.

"Yes, She. Your face is really tangled? What the hell?" Ask Anila.

Waitaminute! In the future Anila and Friska are no longer in this city. After graduating from college Friska returned to her hometown. Then Anila married someone and went with her husband.

But... Who is her husband? It's strange! Why can't I remember it?

"Woy! Bengong aja lo! Asked even gawk!" Friska nudged my arm.

I quickly regained my senses and smiled.

"Later the night my dad told me to come to his company's birthday party. I'm just males!" I put my shoulders down.

But another gesture was shown by my two best friends. Yeah, I remember if they went to that party. And at that moment, I also looked very excited to go to that party. But not with now.

The three of us bought dresses at the boutique. I really don't want this. Why has nothing changed at all?

"She! Good isn't?" Anila asked as she turned her back to her body trying on a dress.

I just nodded lazily.

"Lo don't buy a dress, She?" Ask Friska. "There will definitely be a lot of handsome guys coming! Your father said his colleagues brought his family. Must be their kids, She."

I put my shoulders down. I don't know. I remember that night. The night that Mas Willy ruined my whole dream.

I don't want to meet him.

"Well, I'll keep dodging tonight! Yeah, I'll avoid. I don't want to be hurt because our relationship only lasted 10 years" My inner self was excited.

Actually I wanted to lock myself in the room, but Mother caught me and asked me to join the others.

The party was held in the backyard. Yes, my family is pretty much. Dad has a company engaged in export-import, so he has many colleagues.

Then, if you ask why I choose to work in another company? That's because I don't want to be labeled as the spoiled child that Mas Willy told me.

The huft! It's Willy again, it's Willy again. Why do I keep remembering it? Don't I want to change my destiny?

Focus, She! Focus up!

I walked around and fused with the crowd. I'm looking for Bang Shandy's whereabouts.

I remember when Bang Shandy introduced me to Mas Willy. His warm attitude at that time attracted me to get to know him more closely.

I shook my head strongly. Why do I remember our first meeting?

Tired of trying to stay alert and also the heart that could not beat this, I finally headed to the corner of the park where all the dishes were served there.

I sipped a glass of guava juice to the toilet. I took another glass and then took it back.

"Shyen!"

The sound of someone calling my name made me instantly choke. Cold sweat immediately soaked my temples. I patted my chest that felt tight.

Oh my God, is that Mas Willy? Why did we have to meet again so soon?

"You're Shiena, right?"

Huh huh? His voice was very different from that of Mas Willy. I slowly turned around and faced the person who called my name.

"Hi, I'm sorry I surprised you." The man apologized and smiled at me.

He was...

"Ah, I'm Alex." He extended his hand to me.

Yeah, I know him. It was Alex Bastian. My senior brother at the college who is very famous and loved by many girls.

"I'm Shiena." I returned the hand of Alex.

"I know." Alex laughed a little. "Since I've been watching you. It's like I've seen you in college, so I'm following you. So it turns out you're Pak Prayitno's daughter?"

I'm nodding. "So, brother is Dad's colleague too?"

"Ah can't say that. My job is a model, and I've worked with Mr. Yitno's company several times, so I might be invited here."

I'm mangosteen. I remember if I was very excited to attend this party because Dad invited Brother Alex who is a BA (brand ambassador) in his company. But at that time as I remember Alex didn't come because there was work.

Then why is he coming now?

I looked at Brother Alex who was still telling me about himself and his work.

Yeah, I'm starting to understand now. Could the Universe have sent Brother Alex to meet me? If so, is it possible that my destiny is to be with Brother Alex?

My eyes sparkle with pleasure. Who doesn't like Alex? A handsome guy with a million charms brought by him. I liked it from the beginning when I entered the college.

I finally enjoyed tonight. I talked lightly with Alex's sister until the party was over and she said goodbye.

All night long I kept smiling while staring at the ceiling of my room. Now I am ready to go to sleep. I'm cheering because it turns out the Universe sent Brother Alex and not Mas Willy.

"thank you. Thanks again."
