The Bridge Of Love
CHAPTER 12 Waltz

I don't want to blame time.

But time kept me afloat.

In the wound, in the wounded heart.

Unable to dismiss the feeling, because love is so deeply stored in the heart.

I blame fate. But I realize, I love you.

Mopping up flavors. That's what I'm doing right now.

An unexpected encounter, it made me dissolve in perfect love.

Your presence is my hope. But the farewell you created disappointed me.

Until ... I thought, is this the love that used to be, or hate that destroys?

Aryo requests Luke's grief to meet with Chrysanthemum. They came to Dekashi Corporation.

“We already have an appointment in advance,” explained Aryo.

“Please sorry. But, Mr. Luke is currently nowhere to be found. There are still guests with him,” explained the secretary.

Yes, Luke's secretary apologized to Chrysanthemum and Aryo, because he had already made an appointment. However, who would have thought someone came and made Luke break his promise with Chrysanthemum.

“Then, we will wait until Mr. Luke is done with his guest.”

“I can't promise you can meet him or not. Because, it was Mr. Luke himself who asked to cancel all the promises this afternoon. My advice, better reschedule in another day.”

“Who is with him? It seems very important,” Aryo said.

“Sorry, we have no authority to tell,” explained the secretary.

“Good. Then, we will come again tomorrow,” said Krisan then left the Dekashi office.

“Master wait here. Let me take the car,” Aryo said.

“Ya.”

Chrysanthemums wait in the lobby, while Aryo picks up the car in the basement. The chrysanthemum simply tapped his knee with his index finger. The look in his eyes was fixed down, in his brain many problems to be solved.

Chrysanthemums are still waiting in the lobby, ignoring people passing by. He lifted his head, looking at the figure he had always longed for. Carnations get into a car, next to him there are people he wants to meet.

Instantly Chrysanthemum stood up, pushing the turn-glass door in the lobby. Trying to chase after Carnations. The woman unintentionally looked back. For a second, just a second staring at the Chrysanthemum. However, she was sure it was her ex-husband. His lips reviewed a faint smile, then got into the car, followed by Luke.

Chrysanthemums just kicked the air in annoyance. Maybe he lost quickly with Carnations. He was just going to discuss to Luke the benefits of working with him. However, the man cancelled his appointment and preferred his ex-wife.

“I'm so glad we met here,” Lukas said.

“I just moved here a few days. I can't believe you were moved here, too. At the presentation, it was like I knew you, after being remembered, it was you,” said Carnations.

“I barely recognized you, you looked different the first time we met. You used to look so innocent.”

Carnations and Luke met in Singapore two years ago. At that moment, Carnations were brought by Petra to the banquet. They met for a moment, but did not exchange contact. He remembered it after the presentation. Luke was the one he met in Singapore, therefore, he came to Luke.

Luke looked at the Carnations in admiration. “I hope you can come,” he said.

“Are you expecting me to come?” tanya Anyelir smeared lips. Then, sip the drink that is in the glass glass. They decided to have lunch together.

“Sure. You are the one I will be waiting for his arrival,” Lukas said without taking his eyes off the Carnations.

“Look at it later. I can come or not,” said Anyelir in a low tone.

He glanced at Luke. The man who had a wife. However, you can still invite other women to eat.

“You are good at making people curious,” said Lukas.

“I take that as a compliment.” Carnations wipe the corners of her lips with a napkin.

His hand movements were very elegant, his little finger looked flickering. It is like dancing and flirting. He knew, Luke was staring at him intensely. However, he acted as if he did not know.

“Alright, because there's nothing to talk about. I'm saying retreat. There is still work to be done,” continued Anyelir.

Lukas. “What do I want to bring?”

“No need. I already told my assistant to pick up.”

Carnations came out of the restaurant with a big smile. He was already very confident his company would cooperate with Dekashi Corporation. Crossed Chrysanthemum's shocked face looking at herself with Luke, making Anyelir cheer inwardly.

“Why were you so long?” ask Chrysanthemum in a high tone.

Aryo who saw the anger of Chrysanthemum confused himself. Before, his boss' mood wasn't so bad. However, in an instant it changed very drastically.

“Sorry,” says Aryo. Only one word came out of Aryo's mouth.

Chrysanthemum and Aryo return to the company. The day has changed. However, Chrysanthemum's mood is still very chaotic if you imagine Carnations getting into the same car as Luke. Never himself was this upset. Moreover, while being his wife. Carnations never wear such tight clothing.

Aryo walked into the Chrysanthemum room, he saw his boss who was still in a bad state.

“Bos,” saya Aryo. Changed again his call to Chrysanthemum. Boss, Sir, President. Only Aryo can do that.

“What's up?”

“You got a dance invitation from Mr. Lukas.” Aryo placed an invitation card in front of Chrysanthemum.

“What?”

“The closed dance party was attended only by the closest people to Mr. Luke. As a form of himself has returned to this country. Previously, he was stationed in Korea. However, moved here to advance the company here.”

“Why am I invited? I've never even talked to him before.”

“It seems, as an apology for having cancelled your appointment.”

“I won't come!” chrysanthemum Exclamation. He looked at the invitation card. “When is the show?” tanyakanya.

Aryo simply frowned, confused by the change in Chrysanthemum's attitude. “Late this week.”

“Prepare suit by theme!” keep Chrysanthemum.

Aryo just sighed softly.

***

Chrysanthemums can only be scratched in the heart. He's not a conglomerate. Although, it used to live with an abundance of wealth and now managed to build its own company. However, he hated the events made by the conglomerates.

Not the first time to follow the event made by the elite who claim to be elite. In order to achieve the goal, Chrysanthemum inevitably follows the standards of the upper class.

His goal was to make sure the woman who was still his wife came or not at the party. Classical songs enter the ears of the invited guests. Orchestra with players who look so professional. Songs claimed to be songs for the elite.

The chrysanthemum just raises the corner of its lips upwards. Even just a type of song should be classified for a particular group. Chrysanthemum Daydreams were scrapped, when at the entrance came a woman who was the center of attention.

A woman in a long black dress, with a pretty high hemisphere. Part of the thigh is exposed. Her white skin was in stark contrast to the black dress used. The white color behind his body was seen peering. Yes, Carnations come with an open back dress. However, because his wavy hair decomposed making the skin on his back like he was peeking.

The chrysanthemum walked over to approach the wife. However, he was quickly defeated by the owner of the wish.

Luke bowed like a knight. “May I?”

Carnations reached out their hands clad in black gloves, accepting Luke's offer to dance. Walk to the dance floor. The chrysanthemum further hardened his jaw.

But he has to control himself. It was impossible for him to punch Luke in the face in public. If that happened, Carnations could not return to his side. A woman approached Chrysanthemum, asking her to dance.

Chrysanthemum did not refuse, he clasped the girl's hand and danced on the dance floor. It's not a romantic song that should embrace each other. However, their hands touched each other. The waltz dance begins. However, it does not appear to be a show. The dance party is made only as an addition to the contents of the event.

“You're beautiful tonight,” praise Luke.

“But I always feel beautiful every day,” timpal Carnation.

“You are very confident.”

“Not confident, but rather reality.”

Luke chuckles. Never had he met such a strong woman. “Yes you're right. However, with this dress, you are getting charming.”

“Save your praise for your wife,” said Anyelir reminding Luke that the man is married.

Luke just smiled bitterly. “A wife that cannot be divorced. However, that does not mean we have to be together,” explained Lukas.

Basic man!

Carnations only reflect a smile. “At least, don't hurt his heart.”

“Then, what about my heart? Looks like, I just felt really interested in a woman.”

“I'm quite flattered by your words. However, I am not a destroyer of other people's relationships. But, if you need a friend to confide, you can come to me.”

All Carnations need is cooperation between companies. He is not tempting, even though his appearance is tempting to men.

“I don't just need friends venting. But, I need you.”

“Stop feeling, finish this drama.”

“My love, not a drama.” Luke spoke very loudly. When they first met, he was already interested in Carnations. However, at that time the Carnations still looked innocent.

Carnations can only swallow their own saliva. After he signed a contract of cooperation. He's gonna stay away from that guy.

Time to exchange couples. Out of nowhere, his waist was grabbed by someone. Carnations turned their heads, a little surprised because in front of his eyes there was a person he hated so much. However, he easily neutralized the look on his face.

“Looks like, you really enjoyed the party,” Chrysan said. He tightened his hands on his wife's waist.

“Life of conglomerates is not very pleasant?” tanya Anyelir smiled smirk.

Chrysanthemum knows, his wife is used to living a luxurious life. Since staying with him, he has been trying to meet the needs of Carnations.

They fuck each other up. But they still dance together.

Chrysanthemum grunting. “You are so great, in a few years, you made yourself the center of attention! Are you proud to be stared at by every man?”

Carnations bite into his deep lips. “You why? Are you jealous? Oops! You have no right to be jealous!”

“It seems, I should remind you that you are still my wife!”

“Oh just relax. Within a month, I make sure our status changes!” anyelir said firmly.

Chrysanthemum just stared intently at his wife. The carnation has changed drastically. No more spoiled and innocent carnations. Right now, it's a stubborn woman who can't be talked to.
