Kendrick thought he had lost her forever, but time reunited them by accident.
A woman publicly humiliated by her husband's family. The fact that the woman had been married with two children slightly tickled the corner of her heart.
Many years ago she thought she was a single woman who had no attachment, but reality was sometimes not as beautiful as the shadows.
He did not even know that his parents were neighbors with the woman.
The first time he said hello, his chest came back so hard. A face of contempt with puffy and helpless eyes that was shown pulled at him to protect the woman.
For days he would stand in the door goal while observing the interesting scene in front of him.
The two girls smiled and laughed carelessly.
But from that day on he never found the woman out of the house again. Secretly he also often asked ART who worked at his home, anyone who came to the house. Maybe her husband or her in-laws, but Sarah and Heni said no one ever came back.
And unexpectedly, again he saw the woman's face in his office. Applying as an employee with an appearance seen a few years ago.
Neat and pretty.
What kind of fate is greeting him right now. He has just been betrayed by his partner and is now reunited with a woman of the past who made him interested in the first meeting.
It was very desirable for him to refuse, but the more his chest was always rumbling when he was near the woman.
The daydream was broken when the woman stood in front of him and knocked on his desk several times.
“You listened to me, Sir?” The face was always adorned with a sweet smile, but who would have thought in it stored tens or even thousands of invisible wounds.
“Pak!”
His body froze again, hearing that voice sound so sweet in his ears.
He shook his head slowly, casting out the crazy shadows and daydreams that were on his head.
“Ya, what was it?” he asked, after focusing.
“Pak Ken, at eleven o'clock you will meet a representative of Mr. Yudistira at the hotel restaurant and after that you will review the location of the housing development in the Ujung kulon area.” The woman continued to dodge her gaze.
“Oke, you accompany later. Prepare the required cooperation file.”
“Good, Sir.”
Kirana immediately did what her superior asked. From earlier he just looked down to hide his reddened eyes and a little swollen because all night he did not sleep at all.
Last night after a fight, the man disappeared and just put an ATM on his dresser.
I remember every conversation so heartbreaking. The man easily asked to understand his wishes and his mother, but did not think at all about his feelings.
That's Zidan to him. And he proudly still says he loves her.
Bullshits!
...✿✿✿...
“Thank you for the time, Mr. Yudistira. I'll send you a copy of the contract at your secretary later.”
The middle-aged man nodded, with a warm smile on his shady face.
“Later after sending by email, Ms Kirana can confirm by phone so I know.” The secretary answered.
“Good. Can I leave first? Sorry, one more hour we have to fly to Sulawesi.” The man looks shy, but looks really desperate when he says it.
“Please, Sir. Thanks again for the time. Hope your flight is smooth until the destination,” Kendrick said, shaking his partner's hand steadily.
Shortly after the middle-aged man and his assistant left, Kirana tidied up the files that were still scattered.
“Kirana, we all have lunch after that go directly to Ujung Kulon.”
“Good, Sir.” Fortunately, his lunch was given to Sumini just before he left.
When ordering food, the boss asked him to order whatever he wanted without hesitation.
“If overtime what about your children at home?”
“There are mbak who will take care of it. You don't need to think about that, sir. If I have to be late, I am ready. Don't hesitate to say it.”
During work and in office hours, Kirana applies professionally using formal language.
Kendrick is still keeping her distance, because this woman is the wife of the person and she does not want to pour gasoline in the puddle of fire that has not been extinguished.
It must be admitted that being close to this woman makes her heart performance really unhealthy.
After finishing lunch, they rushed towards the car and immediately headed for the next location.
Kirana sat in the front, next to the driver while the boss sat in the back seat alone.
Traveling for about an hour and a half, they finally arrived at the location.
A new housing that is still in development progress.
The location is quite strategic, flood-free and certainly still in the city center.
During the observing of the workers, Kirana just tailed behind the tall man. Occasionally ask questions when there is something to know.
In that place, they were quite time consuming almost until four in the afternoon.
On her way back to the office, Kirana plays a cell phone to kill boredom. The road is quite crowded and makes the travel time slower.
Half-six as the Azaan reverberated, they arrived at the office again. The atmosphere in the office was quite quiet because the work time was over, there were only a few employees who were overtime and some OB who were still cleaning every corner.
“After this there is more that I have to work on Sir?” asked Kirana who was walking behind the boss.
“Slightly, but you can just take it home and work at home.”
“Good Sir.”
After arriving at the work desk, Kirana immediately cleaned up the slightly messy table. He chose the file the boss was referring to before he finally returned home.
...✿✿✿...
Half ten nights, after Kirana left her son's room and made sure they were asleep, she came back in front of the television. Work on office work that is a little more done.
After making sure everything was in order, he immediately tidied up his files and went to the kitchen to get a drink.
Shortly after coming out of the kitchen, he heard the sound of the fence being pushed and the car engine that had just been turned off.
Without seeing who had entered, she could already guess that it was her husband.
“Kirana!” He who was about to close the door of the room stopped.
“What's up, Mas? If you just want to make a noise, you better go. I'm tired,” he said slowly.
“Where are you? Your mother said every day to wander. What do you want to be,” accuse Zidan of being rude.
“That's what your mother said, why don't you ask me first? Don't be angry just because you hear an explanation from one party.”
“You're getting more and more brave to volunteer, yes. Wonder me.”
“I volunteered because your accusation is not true, Mas.”
“Because I know you can't lie to me, Kira.”
“And during my life with you, have I ever lied until you hesitated to trust me? Say it! You believe in your mother but you refuse to believe in a wife who for ten years lived together.”
“Kirana!” snapped Zidan with a thunderous voice.
“What! You tell me to shut up? You must be quiet and listen to my words, Mas,” shouted Kirana no less loudly.
“Don't scream in front of me, Kira. You must be educated even better,” said Zidan, raised his hand to slap his wife's face.
“Why silence? Come, slap!” kirana shouted louder, thrusting her face towards Zidan who was still hanging her hands in the air.
Zidan who was originally staring at Kirana was furious, slowly squeezing. He lowered his hand and stared at the nanar towards his own hand.
The initial intention was just to ask nicely, but always provoked every look at the attitude against the wife showed.
“My physical injuries will never be comparable to the heart wounds you inflict! My physique can heal for a few days, but my heart?”
Kirana rewinded her steps, turned around and immediately closed the room door quickly. Not to forget he also locked the door of the room so that Zidan did not barge in.
If it was just to make a fuss, why would it have to come back? I started treating my wounds alone. It'sit's okay.
