My Beloved Ex - wife
Chapter 21

After a while, Zetta realized that what she saw was just a fantasy. The shadow of the Keenan figure from the past does not really exist. He still remembered the man even though they were no longer together, it was probably because for the last six years Zetta's life was only focused on Keenan. So it's only natural that Zetta will not be able to completely remove her ex-husband from her mind even though they have officially separated.

Ah, nevermind. It's all over now. Forgetting Keenan was only a matter of time The important thing right now was to set up a future without the shadow of the man again.

Zetta and Theo finally take Alex to a place that has been mentioned before. After that, Theo plans to drive Zetta home.

"What do you think Alex is?" ask Theo then while driving his car.

Zetta glanced at her best friend at a glance. "Why is that?"

"Nothing, I just want to know what you think of the boy" Theo said.

"Reason?"

This time it was Theo who glanced at Zetta.

"You don't think he likes you?" ask Theo.

Zetta laughed at hearing that.

"Of course he likes me. I am the one who made it possible for him to get his current achievement. The question is if he doesn't like me."

"I don't mean like that kind of thing. He likes you as a guy who likes a girl" Theo said.

Zetta stopped her laughter and rolled her eyeballs lazily.

"Don't ngawur. He's even some know younger than me" said Zetta.

Theo seemed to be slightly twitching his shoulders.

"Liking someone is not age-based. Many couples whose male age is much younger than their female age. And they just fit because of mutual love," he said wise.

Once again Zetta responded by simply rolling her eyeballs. He was lazy to talk about something like this.

"If you're not interested in Alex, how about me?" bargain Theo with his leisure.

"What?" Zetta looked up at her best friend.

"You marry me. We are friends since childhood, it must be very suitable for each other. I promise I will treat you even better if you become my wife" Theo said again in a casual tone.

Zetta couldn't help but laugh. Regardless of seriously or not Theo said that to him, but in Zetta's eyes the words were just a joke. And there is no better way to respond to the joke than to laugh. He thought Theo must have deliberately wanted to make him laugh to have his heart amused a little.

"Here, don't joke anymore. My stomach hurts from laughing too much" Zetta said later, trying to stop her laughter.

Theo just turned to his best friend for a moment. He did not deny when Zetta said that he was joking, although maybe what he said was not a joke, but a conscience that he had been quieting.

Theo had not yet said anything, he saw Zetta pull out a ring and showed it to him. With a single look, it can be guessed if the ring is the wedding ring Zetta and Keenan.

Zetta's facial features seemed to change somewhat when she saw the ring. Her memory was floating at the engagement event Keenan and Helia earlier. Although trying not to hurt, but still his heart feels pain like slashed sembilu. On the other hand, Theo's countenance turned serious at the sight of the ring.

"Zetta, I hope after this you don't deal with bad guys anymore. Enough Keenan and his family to hurt you for years" Theo said in a tone that was no less serious.

"of course. I don't want to be a fool twice either. No need to worry," said Zetta.

"It." Zetta put the thing in Theo's pocket. "I want to ask you to sell this ring. It's worth it."

Theo still looks a little confused.

"The money goes directly to people in need. Donate to poor mountainous areas so that they can be more useful" Zetta said.

Theo had no choice but to accept his best friend's request. He is trying to understand that right now Zetta is trying to get rid of all the memories of Keenan in her own way.

Meanwhile, Keenan and Helia's engagement party continues as if nothing had happened before. Keenan greeted his business colleagues who came before he finally returned with a look of fatigue. The man then sat down on a chair in one corner of the party hall to rest for a moment.

Seeing that, of course Helia immediately approached and sat down beside Keenan. He stretched out his hands and gently massaged the man's shoulders with the aim of alleviating the fatigue that Keenan was currently feeling.

Keenan turned towards Helia and looked at the woman sharply. The incident when Zetta came earlier is still recorded clearly in his head, especially Zetta's part proves if he had been innocent all along.

"Helia." Keenan called the woman who had just officially become his fiancee in a somewhat different tone.

"Yes?"

"Can you explain to me the details of the accident?" pinta Keenan with a serious look.

Helia had never seen Keenan's expression like this when talking to him. He was so scared that both his hands became trembling.

"I .. I don't really remember what happened that day, Keenan. I forgot ...," he said later in a soft tone.

Keenan was still staring at Helia sharply and looked not too satisfied with the answer she got.

"I really don't know anything. There's no way I'm planning anything evil to frame Zetta, let alone harm myself. I didn't do that, really ...," Helia said again with a teary look.

Keenan sighed. Looking at Helia's reddened eyes, she also became unbearable.

"I'm willing to apologize again to Zetta in a better way. I will prepare the best gift as an apology." Helia added again.

"No need," Keenan immediately replied quickly. "Zetta has also taken advantage of the situation to marry me. Consider it break even."

Hearing that, the feeling of fear that Helia previously felt instantly evaporated. He smiled at Keenan.

"Thank you, Keenan. Thank you for waiting patiently for me. All this time you've been having a lot of trouble because of me" Helia said as she held Keenan's arm tightly. They both look so friendly in the eyes of others.

"Take care of both of you. We are in front of a lot of people." Suddenly I heard Mama Helia interrupting.

Helia hurriedly released her arms, while Keenan immediately got up and excused to meet Helia's father. The man appeared to talk to his future father-in-law about their company's cooperation.

In the midst of the conversation, Keenan turned his head towards Helia. She recalled Helia once wrote her a letter and told her that she loved mango juice. Keenan also took the initiative to ask a waiter for Helia to make Helia feel a little more relaxed when drinking it.

Not waiting for a long time, the mango juice came to Helia with a waiter. The woman looked at the drink while gulping her saliva with a bit of fatigue. He can't drink mango juice, but he can't let Keenan know if the person who wrote to Keenan in the past wasn't him.

"Why is there mango juice?" ask Papa Helia. "Helia is not ...."

Helia quickly grabbed the glass of mango juice proffered at her and downed it to the toilet before the father finished his words. He can't be caught lying, can't be!
