It is undeniable that there is a sense of disappointment about the failed meeting between Aeleasha and Rafael–'s lover - her former sir husband.
Aeleasha intends to get to know more closely with the woman who managed to attract Rafael to get back into a relationship.
Right after his meeting with Rafael's mother. At night, Arsenio invites Rafael to come to their place. Intentionally want to dig deeper about Rafael's relationship with his woman.
The two prepared several plans to make Rafael unable to work.
Rafael has just arrived. He entered tired, but managed to hide it for the sake of the meeting.
“Welcome. Login!” take Arsenio while walking with Rafael.
Now, they were sitting casually in the living room.
A little while later Aeleasha appeared to present with drinks and snacks for them there. The atmosphere was warm and like being with your family.
“You must be tired. Drink first,” bargain Aeleasha while pouring drinks for Rafael.
“Thank you. What was? Why are you guys inviting me to nights like this?” rafael asked directly on the topic because honestly it was very uncomfortable situation like this.
“We were disappointed that you weren't there at dinner. Moreover, mama has prepared everything since a few days ago, he told us."
"You have good reason to be with your lover. So, what about your relationship? When are you going to have your wedding?” ask Arsenio to know.
Rafael's face was doubtful. It was obvious that there was something she was hiding from Arsenio and Aeleasha.
Until finally, Aeleasha could not stand the silence between them. The woman immediately guessed what happened between Rafael and his current lover.
"Surely there's something you're hiding? Whatisit? Explain to us what you're hiding. Why do you avoid meeting so much between me and your lover?” cercah Aeleasha who can not stand the attitude of Rafael always refused.
“Honey, relax. I don't want you to get angry and even piss you off. Give Rafael the space to explain what happened exactly.”
Rafael raised his face and looked at the two couples. He began to tell about his experience when he met Alesha.
Aeleasha had never expected and could not dwell on the explanation Rafael had given at this time. He sat down weakly and was disappointed when the man chose to be honest with their current relationship.
Even though he already knew everything and pretended not to know, but was still upset. It was as if the honest Rafael was for wanting to make him back burdened with guilt.
“So, you are only bound by a contract?” asked Aeleasha who was acting so surprised as if she had only first found out.
While Arsenio can only smile at the behavior of the wife who is like a famous actor or artist.
“As I have explained. I did it because I couldn't stand my mother's nagging, while the woman needed money for her mother's treatment. Our relationship is like a symbiotic mutualism because we both need each other."
Rafael exhaled a rough breath as he had to endure the embarrassment when speaking truthfully to his ex-wife. Moreover, it was very irritated and injured when he saw Aeleasha looking very excited about discussing her fake lover.
“Although so, I'm sure there will be love between you. Pursue the woman!” Aeleasha is still trying to get Rafael to open his heart.
“Thank you for your advice. I appreciate your attention to me. Is this all you want to ask me? If so, I should return home.” Rafael now stood up from his seat because it was very uncomfortable dealing with the couple.
“Rafael, are you absolutely sure of your decision?” aeleasha asked once more to be sure.
“Yes. I'm sorry if you're disappointed with all this" replied Rafael without hesitation or thought in advance.
“Most importantly, you guys stay married, right?” Arsenio elaborated on the uncomfortable atmosphere between them.
“Yes, we will still be married by agreement." Raphael stood up from his place and said goodbye.
His steps were definitely towards the exit. Rafael really left with a messed up feeling.
How can he tell the disgrace to both partners that always makes him feel very envious.
“Stupid!"
"You are so stupid, Rafael! Like this, it won't make Aeleasha come back to you, fool!” Rafael cursed himself.
Half an hour later, Rafael arrives home and immediately goes into the room without seeing his mother. He did not want to be asked questions like before.
He dropped his body on the bed and stared at the ceiling. For a long time he could not fall asleep because he was experiencing a heavy burden on his shoulders.
Up to a few hours later, then fall asleep just like that which indicates fatigue from the mind and also physical.
***
The next morning, Rafael returned to the office. Previously, he drove Alesha to campus first because there was a morning class.
Arriving at the office, meet Arsenio again.
***
On the other hand, Alesha had just entered the campus area. Her steps hesitated a little because she did not want to meet Alex and returned to answer questions from him.
Damn for Alesha, the intention of the heart avoids, but God actually brought them right in the hallway of the campus leading to the work space of his former sugar daddy.
The man walked in front of Alesha with a smile said. “Log into my room!”
Not wanting to argue any longer, Alesha tailed and walked into the room. Alex quickly locks her room and hugs Alesha tightly.
“Alex, release!” alesha rebelled.
“I like you calling my name. You know if we're alone right now.”
“Fixed only, this campus environment.”
“Then? This is my room, it's up to me.”
Alesha really doesn't want to argue with Alex. He even felt comfortable getting that hug.
"Stop, Alex!" said Alesha who tried to let go of the embrace. “Alex, I have a future husband. You can't be like this to me. Since the beginning, I've explained it to you, haven't I?”
“Ya, still a candidate. Not necessarily you married. I'll derail it.” Alex even wondered why he could act this crazy.
“Alex!” Alesha directed a sharp gaze when speaking in an intimidating tone.
“What's up?”
“Don't mess up my life. Our relationship will not work. I'm begging you, you better find
other women!”
“You sure you want me to do it? Are you sure your heart won't hurt?” Alex still feels unsure of the words of the woman who has overturned his feelings.
Meanwhile, Alesha had absolutely no idea what to say as she was completely confused at the moment.
A few minutes passed and it was time for school to begin. Alesha pleads with Alex to let her go and let the woman take the class today.
“I have to go."
“Good. After the course is over, I'm waiting for you in the parking area. Login to my car.”
“Serah!" Alesha walked out and attended the lecture today well.
But after all that was done. Alex was waiting for him in the parking lot. Just before he got there, a call from the hospital made him leave immediately without saying anything to the man in the car in the parking lot.
Alesha called a taxi to take her to the hospital. His feelings are not calm when it comes to his mother.
He was completely overwhelmed by feelings of unease as long as his mother's condition had not improved.
Arriving at the hospital, Alesha ran towards the patient's room. However, when the door opened his body pecked with the presence of a female figure who was now sitting next to his mother's gurney.
“Who are you?”
“You must be Alesha, right?”
“Iya.”
“Meet me, I'm Aeleasha Charlotte." Stretching his hand at the figure of the woman who became a great hope for him helped Rafael forget about it.
“Aeleasha?” Alesha can now see if the figure of the woman standing in front of her is Rafael's ex-wife who turns out to have a beautiful and elegant look.
“Iya, our name is the same. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but it looks like Rafael did it on purpose, doesn't it?"
Alesha was just speechless, it felt like something was stirring in her heart at this moment. Then his gaze circulated looking for the whereabouts of the man the woman mentioned.
However, unfortunately there was no one there other than her and the woman.
“Can we talk? It's not good to talk here. Let's just go to the hospital canteen, how? Oh yeah, you take it easy. Your mother's fine. The doctor checked it out well.”
Hearing Rafael's ex-wife's explanation, he calms down. They decided to walk together to the cafeteria and were both speechless as they stepped.
