99 Love for You
99CU(S2): Learning Move On

After an incident some time ago at AJ Foods' office, things are starting to get back to normal. I am very grateful to Mr. Rangga who has helped me take care of the reporters. I don't know what he's done.

But after that day no more journalists came to the office. And the post on the gossip account has also been lost.

Mr. Rangga turned out to have great power beyond my shadow. I am grateful to be surrounded by good people.

What about Mas Alvian? How are you after the reporters know everything?

I heard, one day after the post about our breakup in the gossip account went viral, Mas Alvian clarified in front of the media with Nayla. She introduced Nayla as her legal wife now.

I know from Amel who is a lover of infotainment shows. I don't want to respond to that news. Because Nayla is Mas Alvian's legal wife now.

Many fans were disappointed in Mas Alvian. They regret because their idol figures turned out to do the unexpected thing that is polygamy, until divorce. I heard his artistic career was beginning to fade.

That problem, it's none of my business anymore. Let Mas Alvian solve his own problems with his fans.

I need to focus on my life now. I will show Mr. Rangga that my performance is not reduced at all even though I am facing problems.

I learned to look to my future. Although I used to think that my future was with Mas Alvian. But in fact, hope is not always in line with reality.

Man lives only by destiny. They can plan anything. But God determines everything.

I will start my days with a smile, a laugh with friends, and a passion for work.

...💟...

One month later,

"Those people aren't coming anymore, are they?" ask Mr. Rangga when I go to his room to submit a weekly report.

"Huh?"

I thought for a moment to digest what Mr. Rangga's question meant. "What do you mean by those reporters?"

"Am I going to ask you something else?" Rangga looked at Cecil sharply.

"I'm sorry if I don't understand your question. They're not coming anymore. It's all thanks to dad. I am so grateful."

"Good then. You don't have to be shy. Since everything happens in the company's territory, then I'm responsible."

"Thank you again, sir."

"Here, your report. I like your performance. Keep increasing!"

"Thank you, sir. I promise I will work better. Excuse me."

Don't forget I put a smile on my face before I leave Mr. Rangga's room.

Cellphone's ringing. From Shasha. What's he calling me? I took a call from him. Shasha said she was in AJ Foods' office waiting for me at the cafe

I decided to meet him.

"Today you have time? Alvian wants to see you." Shasha said briefly as soon as I sat opposite him at the cafe.

"What business does Mas Alvian want to meet?" ask me with a frown.

"There's something important he has to say."

I thought for a moment.

"alright. Where should I meet him? I'll be there after my work is done."

"I'll wait till you're done."

"What?"

"I'm here to pick you up and take you to Alvian's."

I'm getting pissed off now.

"No need! I can go there by myself! Just tell me where the address is! You just calm down! I will definitely come." I replied with great emphasis.

"okay! I'll send you the address in a short message. Thank you for your time. Excuse me!"

Shasha got out of her seat and left AJ Foods' office. I saw him reach into his jacket pocket and grab a cell phone. He contacted someone. Must be Mas Alvian!

What else does Mas Alvian want to talk to me about? Didn't he live happily with Nayla? Why look for me?

...💟...

Shasha sent me a short message containing an address. I thought it was a sports park where we spent time together.

I approached him.

"Finally you came too" she said to me, sipping a bottle of mineral water in her hand.

"Why did you ask Shasha to pick me up at the office?"

"I'm just afraid you won't come. That's all."

"I'm definitely coming, Mum."

I immediately positioned myself sitting on the sidelines.

"really? Thank goodness you kept coming. How are you?"

"As you can see." I replied accordingly.

"You look fine."

Yeah, Mas. I'm fine now. But yesterday? Do you know what, Mas? I have to go to a psychiatrist three times a week. Ismail introduced me to his acquaintance who was a psychiatrist in the police force. Ismail advised me to see a psychiatrist, so that I could control myself more and not continue to grieve. I was screwed when I lost Tasya, so I need to know that I can't be like that anymore. I have to be strong. I have to be tough. Patience. Smilingly. Laughs. Don't cry anymore Cecilia. That's what Doctor Diana always told me when I came to consult.

"Cyl? Why silence?" mas Alvian's gaze still felt the same as when he was still my husband.

Relax Cil! Calm yourself! Don't think shit. He's not yours anymore.

"Ah, there's nothing. Shasha said there's something you want to talk about. About what?" my answer flatly covered my nervousness.

Then Mas Alvian sat beside me.

"I want to apologize, Cil. I know you don't want to hear any more apologies from me. But this time, please listen!"

I looked at Mas Alvian who was sitting next to me. I can't deny I still love him.

"It's all my fault! If I could study like the Prophet, that would be fair to his wives. Surely you will not grieve and leave the house."

There was a hint of regret in his voice.

"But here I am. I am not a Prophet. I can't keep you by my side. I'm sorry, Cil. In the end, I just hurt both of you."

It's been a month, Mom. Are you still sad about our farewell? Do you regret all this?

"I am neither Khadijah nor Aisha. I can't be as loud as them. I'm not as patient as they are. I'm sorry too, Mom." Now it's my turn to talk.

"And better not, we don't have to meet again like this."

"Why? Do you hate me? Can't we be friends?"

"Because I have to learn to move on from you, Mas. I'm gonna start my life over again, and forget you."

"Oh, so yeah."

"I don't think I can be friends with you. Keeping your friends is important. But not by meeting secretly like this. I'm not feeling good about Nayla. She's your legal wife now."

Alvian laughed a little. What does that laugh mean?

"I understand. I'm not gonna be your friend. You just calm down! It's time I let you go for someone else."

"Other people? Whatchu mean?"

"You have to open your heart to someone, Cecil. Rangga, for example. She likes you. I hope you can accept her feelings."

"Whatchu mean? You want to rule my life? Why bring the name of Mr. Rangga in our problems, Mas?"

"He confessed his feelings for you in front of me when he drove you to the hospital on the day of the accident that hit Tasya."

I'm starting to not understand all Mas Alvian's talk.

"So you asked me to come just to say this? I think I've been wrong about you. I shouldn't have come here."

I immediately got out of the place where I was sitting and standing. I took my foot off Mas Alvian. I'm getting pissed.

"Wait, Gil!"

Alvian grabbed my hand.

"I'm sorry."

I stared at it in his black bead. His gaze was still the same, as if he still loved me.

Does he still love me? Oh God!!! Why am I so worried? My eyes are starting to glaze over.

Nah! You must be strong, Cecilia! He's not yours anymore. Please don't cry!

I slowly took off Mas Alvian's hand. Then I turned my face away and walked away from her.

I hope this is really my last meeting with Mas Alvian. The wheel of life will continue. And I'm gonna start my life over.
