The Former
NEED CLARITY

Nindy ran quickly towards the door when she heard the bell ringing, she couldn't wait to meet the man who had kept her from sleeping well all night.

Clutch

The door opened wide, the smile that had been splattered on Nindy's lips instantly disappeared upon seeing the figure standing before her.

"Good morning Miss Nindy!" Sapa Ardi with a smile.

"Morning!" Nindy Sahut slowly.

His spirit instantly disappeared when he saw the person who came to see him was not the person he expected. Does anyone know who Nindy was expecting?

"What what is it? Why did Mr Ardi come here?" Ask Nindy.

"Sorry mom Nindy, I got a job from Mr. Rafael to pick up Miss Nindy and deliver mom to the office" replied Ardi.

"Sir Rafael told you to pick me up?" Nindy wanted to make sure.

"Yes, right ma'am" Sahut Ardi.

Nindy pulled her head out to look at the door of Rafael's apartment hoping her husband would emerge from behind it.

"Sir Rafael has gone to the office first ma'am" said Ardi when he found out that Nindy was looking at his boss' apartment.

"Have left?" Nindy asked in surprise.

"Yes, mom. Mr. Rafael left an hour ago and he asked me to take you to the office" Ardi said.

Nindy is silent, she is thinking why Rafael told Ardi to pick her up when they could leave together. Is the husband still mad at her because of last night?

"Could he still be angry about last night? What should I say if I meet her later?".

"Sorry, Miss Nindy. Can we leave now?" Ask Ardi who immediately disperse the daydreams of Nindy.

"Eh, yes, Mr. Ardi. I'll grab a bag for a while" Sahut Nindy.

Ardi nodded in understanding.

Nindy went back into her room and took the bag and all her needs. Moments later, he returns to meet Ardi and they leave for the office together.

When he arrived at the basement, Nindy was again surprised to see some men who were burly and wearing black uniforms appear to bend his body to welcome his arrival and also Ardi.

"Who is Ardi?" Nindy asked who was starting to get curious.

"They are your bodyguards, Miss Nindy" said Ardi.

"Personal bodyguard! For me?" Nindy surprised.

"Yes, mom. They will control you wherever you go" replied Ardi again.

"But what are the guards for? I don't need them" protested Nindy.

"From now on, Ms. Nindy will need them because there will be many news hunters who want to meet you" Ardi said.

"Well! News hunters. Meanin?".

"At this time many people are curious about Nindy and want to know all things related to you, so the news hunters take advantage of this opportunity to find out any info about you".

"Why do they do that? What is so interesting to them to know about my life? Basic has no job".

"Tell those news-hunters, they'd rather change professions to become criminal hunters than hunt for information about my life" Ketus Nindy said.

Ardi sighed, it seemed like their conversation was going to take more and more time.

"We're talking in the car, ma'am, I'm afraid we'll be late if we discuss this now" Ardi said.

"Alright" Nindy nodded in agreement.

Ardi opened the car door for Nindy after that he rushed into the car and took a position behind the steering wheel. Starting today, Ardi gets a new task that is to become a personal assistant as well as a personal driver for the young lady of the LJ Group.

Meanwhile in the lead room, Rafael is leaning on a sofa while grimacing occasionally withstanding the pain as Dr. Yulia tries to deal with the wounds on her face. Rafael came to the office early so that Dr. Yulia could treat her injuries because she had to attend an important meeting this morning. Rafael did not want people to laugh at him when he saw his face filled with bluish bruises.

"Why can your face bruise like this anyway? Who did you fight with?" Ask Dr. Yulia while treating the wound on her cousin's face.

"You don't need to know. Your job is to just treat my wounds and make sure that everyone will not be aware of these wounds" said Rafael with his eyes closed.

"Curtain! So you were bothering me early in the morning just to treat this ugly facial wound" Dr. Yulia was upset.

Rafael opened his eyes to look at Dr. Yulia, he was disturbed by the words of his cousin earlier.

"Why look at me like that?" Dr. Yulia asked when she saw Rafael looking at her.

"Are you angry because I said your face is ugly?" Dr. Yulia put a little pressure on Rafael's face to make Rafael again cringed in pain.

"Aww,,, that,,,! Slowly dong. Are you trying to help or not?" Rafael's Protest.

"Why do you ask for my help if you don't want to share your story with me" replied Dr. Yulia.

"What do you want to know about?".

Rafael let out a long sigh and then confirmed his sitting position until straight back. He looked at his cousin and said:

"I met Nindy's boyfriend last night and here's what I got" Rafael said, pointing at his bruised face.

"Well! Seriously lu? Nindy has a boyfriend? Any time?" dr. Julie does not believe.

Rafael nodded.

"Can you imagine my position then? I was her rightful husband but I couldn't do anything about meeting my wife's own boyfriend. I even got a bogem from her boyfriend".

Dr. Yulia sighed, it seemed that her cousin's relationship with the wife was still in place and there was no significant development.

"Well, what are you going to do now? You have met your wife's boyfriend and you must have seen the interaction between them. Then what do you think! Do you still have a chance to get back with Nindy again?".

Raphael shrugged both of his shoulders

"Eitherway. I can't guess it".

"Nindy called her boyfriend with a very friendly call that is 'mas'. As for me, she calls me 'you' and sometimes 'you'. Doesn't that mean she wanted to keep her distance from me on purpose".

Rafael rubbed his face violently.

"It seems like my opponent is very small to keep Nindy by my side, or maybe even I don't have the slightest chance of that".

Dr. Yulia looked at the desperate looking Rafael.

"Then! What are you going to do now? Are you going to give up? Are you going to release your wife for another man? Can you see Nindy happy with that guy? And are you sure that Nindy will be happy with her boyfriend?".

Rafael fell silent.

"Maybe you don't stand a chance because you never make the most of the opportunity".

"Have you apologized to your wife?" Ask Dr. Yulia.

Rafael nodded

"Well how did it respond? Did he forgive you?".

Rafael shook his head.

"I don't know, he never gave a clear answer about it" he said.

"I had a long talk with Nindy and said I wanted to keep our marriage, but Nindy was still clumsy with her initial decision to divorce me. And I don't know how to convince her to give me a second chance".

"Maybe right now I've managed to hold him back from staying in this company, but I'm not sure I can hold him to my side".

Dr. Yulia sighed then rubbed Rafael's arm slowly.

"Have you been honest with her if you loved her?" Ask Dr. Julie again.

Rafael raised his face and looked at his cousin's face. Rafael is trying to think about a question from Dr. Yulia.

"So you haven't said that you love your wife?" Guess dr. Yulia.

Rafael fell silent

Plakk

Dr. Yulia hit Rafael's arm in annoyance.

"You really are stupid Rafael! How can you ask Nindy to stay by your side while you yourself never say if you love your wife. Nindy must have thought that you were holding her for the sake of the company".

"Let's imagine if you were in Nindy's current position, would you go back to a husband who didn't love you or hang on to a lover who loves you sincerely".

The words that had just come out of Dr. Yulia's mouth began to disturb Rafael's mind, he was permeating every word of it.

"Love! Why am I not thinking about that word at all. Did Nindy think that way too? Does he think I don't love him? Then what about the kiss, what did Nindy assume if it was just an ordinary kiss that meant nothing to me? Didn't that kiss explain enough that I loved her and wanted her?".

"A woman needs a confession and also needs a clear statement. We do not want to guess and do not like to guess someone's heart. Maybe Nindy can feel your love but she's not sure about it because you never said it in person".

Rafael hush.

Dr. Yulia again said:

"If you really love him and want him, then you have to say it directly. Tell her you're in love with her and almost crazy for wanting to".

"After that you can only wait for the response and you should be able to accept whatever answer Nindy will give at that time".

"If he returns your love, then use the opportunity as well as possible because the opportunity will not come a third time. But if Nindy rejects your love and prefers her lover, then you should be able to let go and let go. For you will not be able to force your way into the hearts that have lived".

Rafael looked into the eyes of Dr. Yulia sharply, all the words of his cousin so pierced his heart.

"Release Nindy! Would I be able to do that when my whole heart has been filled with it. Could it be that I could kill this feeling and let it go with other men?".

It must be admitted that if Rafael is indeed too late to realize his feelings, he is so focused on maintaining his marriage without thinking about how Nindy really feels. Perhaps Dr. Yulia's words were true, if Nindy's heart and feelings were no longer hers.
