A Couple of Ex
73.

"Dimas, what other meetings are there after this?" Alex asked, as they exited the lobby of the Diamond Hotel.

"It seems like there is no boss" Dimas replied when he no longer found a meeting schedule that his boss had to attend.

"Good, let's go back to the hotel, today I haven't seen it." 

"See who's boss?" Dimas asked idly, of course he knew, who the boss meant.

Alex reluctantly responds to Dimas's questions.

Without much talk Dimas immediately runs his car, heading to the Twenty Five Hotel.

Immediately after arriving at the hotel, the first thing Alex did was to check the 3rd floor where the medical seminar Stella attended. 

But her spirit fades when Alex doesn't find Stella there. 

"Where is he?" Ask Alex curiously.

Alex approached the officer who was standing guard at the ballroom door, and asked Stella where she was.

But the answer to them disappointed Alex. They said Risa's doctor's session ended a few hours ago.

Alex pulls out his phone, he tries to contact the woman who since yesterday afternoon ignored his messages.

Since her meeting with Anindita at noon yesterday, Stella has almost ignored all messages or calls, not least from Alex, the only call she did not ignore was the call from her two sons this morning.

The call was connected, but got no answer. 

Alex is getting restless.

'Is it because I haven't given her a ring for the proposal? So now he's sulking and ignoring me?' Alex monologues, he ruffles his hair that doesn't itch.

He actually wanted to order a pair of rings for them, but his busyness really made him unable to move.

Not to mention, reports from his men who reported that, Abimana was silent about the success of drug transactions, some networks in the Jakarta area and surrounding areas have got what they want.

And the police couldn't sniff, because this time they were working fast and there were not many parties involved, just the eyes he placed, did not have access to information, because this time, this time, he said, Abimana did not participate in preparing their transaction strategy, Abimana only received reports that their transaction was successful.

Shaking his phone made Alex stare at his phone screen.

"What's wrong?" 

"Boss, Madam is here." 

"Where?" 

"In your room, but …" 

With quick steps he walked towards the elevator which would take him to the 17th floor where his room was located.

Dimas and Ms. Wanda were waiting for him at the door.

"Boss, please don't be surprised, you probably won't like it if you see the current state of the madam,"

"Yes boss, this afternoon madam forced her into your room, she said she wanted to wait for you inside while drinking soft drinks and eating snacks, he said, but it turns out that the soft drink that the mistress is referring to is some alcohol cans, so now the mistress … "

Alex hurriedly entered his room, the smell of alcohol burst into his study.

While Stella was asleep on the sofa, her appearance was messy, the formal shirt and sponge skirt she was wearing had started to fall apart, even her face and hair were random, but Alex was still breathing a sigh of relief, because at least Stella does this in her room, what happens when this woman does this at a nightclub or with a stranger, Alex can't really imagine it.

Alex sat quietly on the floor, his fingers moving tidying up Stella's short hair, Alex faintly seeing the dark circles on Stella's eyelids, 'was he sleepless last night? Why are there dark circles under her eyelids?' 

It was so remembered the events of a few years ago, when after the hammer of divorce was knocked, it really destroyed itself by drinking alcohol until somehow a few days, no matter how many, and that night Alex was half-consciously watching Stella crying bitterly at the side of the bed, while her hands were busy rubbing a wet towel over her face and body.

..."Our destiny is bad brother, I don't want to part, but holding on won't make me happy, maybe we'll just hurt each other,"...

Alex was half-conscious, but the words Stella spoke stuck clearly in her head.

..."Brother must be healthy, and start learning to take care of yourself, I will be very happy to let you go, if you are also happy with the woman you love," ...

..."How can I repay you, if you have not given up yet, I want revenge on you, I can also find a man who will love me sincerely, you must also witness my happiness with him, you must also witness my happiness with him, just so I'm satisfied to get back at you, you understand?"...

"Women are as good as you, how can revenge," Alex wiped his own tears, "instead of revenge, you just accept and forgive me back." 

Now Alex rubbed a drop of tears that suddenly flowed from Stella's eyelids. 

Feeling that someone touched her face, Stella opened her eyes.

"Oh .. My two have come." He said with a big smile on his face, clearly Stella was completely unaware of what he said.

"Are you awake?" 

"Hey .. who says I'm sleeping, I'm not sleeping," Stella sat down, she spread her arms. "Help ..." her pinta.

Alex took his breath. He then sat on the sofa to grant her request, but unexpectedly Stella moved, and now sits on her lap.

Alex gulped, he was shocked not overcast, now his body was frozen, even when Stella dropped her head on his chest, only he and God knew what he was feeling now, stella hugged her body tightly.

"Sister, I love you so much, even when you're yelling at me, I still can't hate you," Stella spoke again, "sister Richard said, I'm stupid, because after you betrayed me, after you betrayed me, I still have feelings of love for you," Stella paused her line, "and funnier, after 14 years of separation, not one bit I could hate you, I still kept everything about you in my head, even on my phone, I still keep the name 'my beloved husband' I must be the dumbest girl, right?" Alex shook his head strongly.

After that Stella looked up at Alex. "Please promise me that you won't betray me again" Her tears trickled down, and her sloppy voice changed with the sound of breathing rising and falling regularly.

Alex is only able to look at the face of his ex-wife, how fragile this woman, the tough woman he used to see, turns out to have an unpredictable weak side.

Alex hugged Stella who was now asleep in her arms, behind her face and hair, she used to go home often unconscious, but Stella patiently waited, even serving him on the bed, when he himself must be exhausted after a day of work I took care of the twins. Never once Stella complained about his attitude at that time, even after waking up the next morning, the next morning, he went to meet Anindita.
