Mauren grimaced with pain as Jeevan's grip grew stronger and stronger. However, he still insisted on defending himself. According to him, Jeevan was the most wrong in the affair.
"Before we get married, you already know what my dream is. I'm just asking for a little time to chase after that, but you can't wait. In fact, you always promised to always support my career" said Mauren. This time, his voice was not as high as it had been.
"I understand you and support your career, but for two years of marriage you don't want to have children. How long do I have to wait? You ignored me, Mauren!" Jeevan's voice remained high.
"What do you mean, Mom? On the sidelines of busyness, I still take the time to serve you. Our finances, the source is also from Victory. In fact, not infrequently I also fill your account with my salary as a model. Is that what you consider ignorant?" Mauren spoke firmly.
"Always the treasure you bring. You___"
"As far as you are, my. If you think wrong is me, okay. I won't give you any more explanation. We're divorced," Mauren concluded.
Jeevan was fixated on hearing his wife's words, to the point of not being aware that her grip was being released and Mauren stepped away.
Mauren sat on the sofa looking down. He hid an unstoppable cry again. Seeing his wife crying, Jeevan's heart slowly softened. Deep down, the love for Mauren is still neat, even though it is now divided.
With a slow step, Jeevan approached Mauren. Hugged him tightly while gently rubbing his smooth arm.
"I'm sorry, honey," whispered Jeevan.
"You know he's my best friend, Mas. Our relationship is very close, even like a brother. Why are you cheating on her?" mauren said on the sidelines of her cries.
"I'm sorry, honey. I admit I was wrong, I hurt you this deep. I'm sorry." Jeevan continued to say sorry. However, whether sincere or not, only he and God know.
After a long time in tears, Mauren broke down her embrace and stared fixedly at her husband.
"Mas!" call Mauren.
"Yes, Honey. Don't cry anymore, yeah. Sorry I hurt you." Jeevan answered while wiping Mauren's tears with both fingers.
"I can forgive you, Mom. But, with one condition," said Mauren.
Although inwardly enduring pain and disappointment, but undeniably the love for Jeevan is still clearly there. Mauren will try to forgive and consider all of that to be a mistake, provided Jeevan is willing to meet the conditions he submitted.
"What terms, honey?" Jeevan started to worry.
"Leave Elsa!"
Jeevan straightened his seat when he heard Mauren's reply. Then, he rubbed his face violently. The conditions proposed by Mauren are not only difficult, but almost impossible to do. She loves Elsa so much that she can just leave her.
"You're ready, aren't you, Mas?" mauren asked after a long time Jeevan was silent.
Jeevan took a deep breath, then returned Mauren's gaze.
"Sorry, Honey. If your terms are .. I can't."
Mauren's gaze that was originally sad, now changed giddy.
"I love him" Jeevan continued.
Mauren's anger again erupted hearing Jeevan's very blatant confession.
"Then what did your apology mean, Mas?" snapped Mauren. "Your work, Mas! Really heart!"
"Darling, i___"
"Enough!" Mauren got up and brushed off Jeevan's hand that was about to hold her. "We're divorced," she continued.
"Dear, don't do this. I don't want our marriage to run out. I love you." Jeevan got up and stood in front of Mauren.
"Darling, no! Please." Jeevan stared at me. "I don't want to separate from you" he continued.
"Then leave Elsa!"
"I can't either" Jeevan replied with a lowered head.
"Keep what you want, huh?" Mauren yelled while pushing Jeevan's body.
Jeevan staggered and almost fell. However, he was not angry let alone resisting, instead looking at Mauren fixedly.
"I can't leave Elsa, but I don't want to share it with you either. I love you guys. I want the three of us to live together. You and she became my wife" Jeevan said. His expression and tone flowed casually, as if his will was not something painful.
This time, Mauren's response was not just a clash or mockery, but two loud slaps.
"Sayang___"
"Without me, you're nobody, Mom. Dare to want polygamy. Then what will you use to support your bitch? My treasure? Heh, it's ironic," concluded Mauren.
"I've been working all along, too, honey. Without me, Victory would not have progressed. So, let's just say I work for you. Later, my salary money will be used to support Elsa. That way, I'm not asking for your treasure."
"Without you, I can still find someone else to hold Victory. There are still many Papa believers who are willing to do that. But you ... Without me, what kind of work can you do?" Mauren looked at her husband cynically.
"You don't underestimate my abilities, honey. Although not in Victory, I can also serve as a director in other companies. I___"
"But I'm not going to! There's no polygamy in my life, Mom. I don't want to turn Elsa or any other woman into honey. I'm not willing to share your little bird with anyone else" Mauren said fieryly.
"Darling, don't look at the bad side. Take the positive side as well. If you have honey, you can still start a career until whenever you want. I will always support you. As for the child, I can leave it in another uterus. Later, we will be parents together, without disturbing your kerier" Jeevan explained confidently, as if the solution offered was a beautiful thing.
"You're crazy, Mom. You think the only man in the world is you? Just so you know, Mas, there are still many men out there who are much more handsome and richer than you. It's easy for me to get your replacement. So, why am I holding on to all your jerk-off behavior?"
"We love each other, dear."
"All I have is not just love, Mom, but logic. I'm not a fool to be trampled on for love." Mauren turned and turned her back to Jeevan. "Get out, Mas!" continued.
"No, Honey. We need to talk about this."
"Get out!" snapped Mauren.
"Dear."
"Me or you are out!" sahut Mauren without turning.
"Okay, I'm going out. But, I'll never divorce you, honey. I love you so much." After speaking, Jeevan stepped out and left Elsa still leaking in emotion.
After Jeevan, Mauren sat on the edge of the bed. He stared flatly as he held onto his claustrophobic chest. Jeevan, Elsa, two very trusted people turned out to be stabbing from behind. How cruel!
"Papa is very proud of what you aspire to. But, it would be better if you also plunge into the business world. You're Papa's only child, you'll take care of Victory."
Mauren wept as she recalled the advice of her late father—Giorgino Alexander. The man was very hopeful for Mauren's role in his business. However, Mauren is too fond of fashion and modeling. He rarely took part in Victory business. After marriage, she entrusted the company to her husband.
"If I had listened to Papa's advice and wanted to take care of Victory, maybe Mas Jeevan wouldn't have done this" Mauren said.
After a long period of crying and blaming the stupidity of the past, Mauren again used logic. He devises a plan to avenge Jeevan and Elsa.
"It's not too late to do that. You dare to be cruel, then you also have the right to see my cruel side." Mauren wiped her tears while smiling sideways.
Seriate...
