One Week later
Dachinko Mansion
Louise let out her breath, since the last few days her husband was very sensitive to the residence of his adopted son.
"James? There's actually something you haven't told me, right?" louise asked, this time asking her husband to talk again.
"I told you everything, but." said the man hanging.
"How about we send Bianca to school overseas? I heard her friend moved schools, didn't she get very close to her friend?" said James who gave a proposal to whine his daughter no longer he heard.
Not asking for luxury goods or cars but the teenage girl asked for men!
Moreover, the man he does not like, more precisely his man who will make his always beware.
"But the kid wants her here, what the hell are you doing?" asked Louise who was grumpy.
"I wanted to wear this, but I didn't!" his words are throwing d*lam clothes that he just bought and certainly has an inviting design.
James was silent for a moment and looked at the wife who had gotten into the blanket and played her mobile phone.
"Wear it, I want to see" said the man who approached the woman.
"Males, wear it yourself!" replied the woman sniffled as she turned her back to the husband who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
The man threw his breath out and hugged the woman who turned her back while playing mobile phone.
"Louise? Darling?" the whisper was slow at the woman's nape.
"There's a baby! Males again! If only the gini cepet! Ask the old one!" replied Louise who had lost the mood to do so.
James did not answer, but he repeatedly kissed the woman's ears and neck. Plied her with a small suction and gently felt that flat stomach from behind the sleeping pajamas.
Louise initially lets him down and tries to ignore him while continuing to play his phone, but when the kiss reaches his lips.
Humph!
His phone was no longer in his hands, he was busy with lum*tan that washed it away.
James let go for a moment, he stared at the face that was still annoyed with it and peeked at his forehead while opening the long pajamas that his wife was wearing.
...
"You want to take a shower?"
Asked the man who was seen taking a towel to wrap around his waist.
"Be angry!" louise answered when she realized that she did not get an answer but instead did something with her husband until the morning.
James smiled slightly, he approached and whispered to his wife.
"Sweet, why is my wife so adorable..."
"James! Auch!"
Louise immediately turned her head, and then grimaced after her.
"Why?" asked the man who approached and directly held the slender waist.
"Again asked! He's the one who's sick!" said Louise who snorted in annoyance.
The man chuckled, he carried his wife's body and took her to take a bath together.

JBS Hospitals
Arnold is now an intern at his foster mother's hospital, or a stepmother?
"It's pretty, if there's anything you can look for me" said Louise, who stared at the man.
And of course Arnold never said anything about the strange behavior of the woman's daughter.
"Sister?" call her for a moment who is staring at the woman.
"So, I never came to my house, when the time in Australia often came" said Arnold who looked at the woman.
Louise was silent for a moment, the residence of her adopted son was the same as the residence of someone she knew so well before her.
"Later if I have time to go there," Louise replied with a faint smile.
He still does not know if his former fiancee has returned or not. No one told him at all.
Arnold nodded, Louise turned and left the man who currently had an apprentice doctor at her hospital.
The man did not say anything, but his gaze could not be released for a while when he saw the woman.
Sometimes likes and admiration are so similar that they make someone easily mistaken.

Two days later
Sky Blue Apart
Ting!
The elevator door opened, as it went up and reached the floor where someone wanted to visit.
But his steps stopped for a moment, he had not moved at all and froze for a while when he saw the figure that had long disappeared.
Not only himself, the man was still sculpting. Seeing each other for a while with silence and time suddenly stopped for a while.
"Uncle! Waitamin!"
The teenage girl tailed, more precisely she was like a chick who always followed her mother.
The silence broke instantly, a voice he recognized along with a hand that instantly grabbed and embraced the man's arm.
"Bianca?"
The girl was still smiling until her eyes turned towards someone who was in the elevator.
"Mommy!"
The girl who was so surprised to see the mother who suddenly came.
Louise exited the elevator before the door closed again and the man in front of her did not enter.
"You..." Louise frowned looking at her daughter who was clinging like that lizard.
"Eh? Da? What Myy?" bianca replied with a smile while letting go of her embrace.
Louise did not say anything, her tail glanced for a moment at the man who was still in that place without saying a word.
Honestly, he felt so awkward and maybe a little embarrassed?
As in meeting again with someone he hurt and he as his perpetrator.
Zayn clenched his hands involuntarily, not anger but a slightly unsettled and nervous feeling.
Of course he also felt so awkward that he could not say anything.
...
Cafeterias
Bianca looked at it with her sharp brown eyes from afar along with someone who looked so relaxed beside her.
"What are they talking about? Listen no?" ask Bianca to Arnold.
Arnold sniffed his shoulders while eating snacks provided at the cafe.
"Ih! Look at the real thing!" said Bianca who wiggled the shoulder of the man beside her because she wanted to know her mother's conversation with her handsome uncle.
Meanwhile, the two people were still silent to each other. The atmosphere was so awkward it tickled and made the atmosphere become silent.
"How are you? You. You make paintings?" louise asked who tried to open her voice first and a stiff-looking smile.
Zayn is still silent, after 12 years of no communication at all. Everything related to the woman in front of him blocked him from knowing.
"Well," the man replied with a small nod.
He still has difficulty regulating his emotions but at least he does not feel short of breath or panic when he sees his first love that gives the biggest wound to him.
Although still a little find it difficult to breathe or face it.
Louise is petrified again, she does not know if it turns out her relationship will be this bad. They were so close and even grew up together.
But didn't this already go into his calculations?
"You alone?" asked Zayn who this time voiced out for looking at the woman who was nervous and kept her head down like someone who did something wrong.
"Ah? Yea?" Louise looked up at the man and looked at him once.
"How are you?" ask her while glancing for a moment towards the hand that put the ring on her ring finger.
Louise flinched, reflexively clasping her hands and closing her wedding ring.
"Ma.. Sorry.." one word that remains the same as 12 years ago when they last met.
Zayn was silent for a moment to hear it, neither before nor now did the woman still feel guilty.
"Why apologize, you're not wrong anything." he sighed.
Now at least he was more able to control his calm.
"Yes?" Louise stared with her clear green eyes.
"Then are you happy now? I didn't let go of you to see you continue to feel guilty" Zayn said, staring at the woman.
"No! I.." said Louise can't say anything when the contents of her head like in a restart.
"You look good now, so don't feel too guilty because you're not wrong, I decided to end it first" said Zayn who looked at the woman.
There was no reply from the woman, she just fell silent with a dumb tongue. It is true that the man first requested the annulment of the marriage.
But it is also like her self who was caught cheating, sleeping and kissing with other men while still having an engagement relationship with her childhood best friend.
Like being caught doing wrong and he himself knows that he is doing the wrong thing first but can not stop.
"You can hate me, that's..."
"Better.." said Louise softly to the man who still spoke softly to her after so many years and never blamed her for anything.
"Why should I hate you, I have no reason to. Louise?" call her who is staring at the woman.
"How long do you think we've been friends? I think it's almost 30 years, right? And destroying a friendship for almost 30 years for three months, I don't think it's worth it" she said, trying to remember.
At least they are still growing up together and befriended almost 30 years along with the engagement relationship that was established for one year ago stopped then engaged again for two years and began to deteriorate when three months approaching marriage.
"I'm blocking you for hate, I need time for myself and because now I'm better so I don't think there's anything to regret about us. You're happy with life and me..."
"Me too." she continued with a thin smile even though she was a little stuck because she herself still did not know how to find her happiness.
Louise said nothing, she remained silent for a while.
"Bianca's grown up now, she's a little like you. He's ignorant." said Zayn who tried to say something else.
Indeed, his feelings are still mixed but still see a gloomy face and feel guilty that makes him heartless.
Louise remained silent saying nothing.
"If you feel so guilty you can do something for me" Zayn said.
"What?" the fast command immediately grabbed.
"Smile, and act as usual to me. I told you you didn't do anything wrong." she said once again, emphasizing her every word to get inside the woman's head.
"But if you treat you as usual, I feel like I don't know shame." said Louise who certainly can't shake her feelings of guilt.
There was no answer but only a thin smile that also looked still stiff.
"How long has it been? 11 years? 12 years? Or 13 years? But you haven't changed at all? You spoiled!" he said something else to melt the frozen atmosphere.
"Zay!" Louise frowned, both then and now she had never seen the man angry or blamed him for anything.
Not only did he not change, but the man in front of him was the same. Still a sweet and gentle brown man.
