ANGEL IN NEW DRESS
CHAPTER 21. WHERE IS THAT WOMAN?

Anneke began to apply ink there with strong scratches like there was something she wanted to convey through her paintings. He took a red color and polished it with great pressure, remembering the blood that once flowed! His hand trembled slightly, and his breathing was a little irregular. The chest pain was felt again but he continued to scratch his brush.

He took the black color to show how dark life had once been. It's bitter! Very bitter! So painful! Anneke paused for a moment and took a deep breath. It seemed like his emotions were currently overflowing on that red rose painting! With agile hand scratches it jet black color onto the canvas.

After a while later, for some reason the look in his reddened eyes changed. Now the look in his eyes had turned into a gentle and pure look. With his springy fingers, he then scratched the white and green ink as a new hope that would make up for all the suffering he had been through in the past. 

When all was done, he smiled broadly. The painting this time is so beautiful and amazing.

Yes, as if it were a real living flower. The beauty of the painting was as if there was a picture of his heart. Sighing a long sigh of relief, Anneke could faintly hear the voice of the butler calling out to her from the direction of the house.

“Nona....hurry here! Big Master is looking for you.” said the old servant from a distance. The old butler seemed to be waving his hands at Anneke.

“Alright...please....I came!” anneke answered the butler. Then he took a few red roses in a basket and brought the painting canvas with him. 

He walked slowly to his house. Meanwhile, inside the Runako family home, there was someone who had just sat on the sofa after the owner of the house let him in with a beaming face. Yes, that person is Rolan Abinanda. He came to see Anneke who had not seen him for a long time.

Rolan came to visit the Runako family home for the first time since he returned to the country two days ago. His arrival to fulfill his promise to Anneke, his best friend.

“Ayo...ayo. The waiter was calling Keke. Wait a minute he will come.” said Liam's grandfather who looks very happy.

He had long expected the arrival of the granddaughter of his business partner who had long missed his arrival. And the presence of Rolan this time in the house made the grandfather feel happy.

“Alright grandpa. I will wait.” said Rolan nodded. He circulated a fleeting glance at the interior of the house that felt beautiful as well as elegant.

“Ha ha ha ha...” Liam's grandfather laughed unceasingly as he patted the man's shoulder, then walked up to the sofa and sat down. The old man looked very happy. Moreover, the young man brought him so many of his favorite hands. He just kept staring at the handsome face of Rolan with a smile that never escaped his face.

There are health supplements, herbal teas, her favorite pastries. This man is a reliable man! Right, this afternoon Rolan went to the Runako residence to pick up Anneke, he promised to take her out to eat and it just so happened that today he had some free time. And decided to pick up Anneke.

Given that he and Anneke have known and been friends for a long time, Rolan is not hesitant with the Runako family. Both of their families were business partners but Abinanda's family moved abroad when Rolan was ten. But she and Anneke accidentally meet again while abroad.

Rolan was deep in his own thoughts as he grabbed the warm cup of coffee in his hand. Little by little he sipped the coffee and occasionally inhaled its distinctive aroma.

Some time had passed, until the person they were waiting for finally came as well. There were footsteps entering the house and heading towards them.

A girl with clean white skin, both beautiful eyeballs, a sharp nose, natural red lips and a face that is actually beautiful. The woman was walking with a basket of red roses and a canvas in her hand. Really am! The scene that was currently making Rolan smile.

Rolan had seen this girl when she was a child and cute. When he saw the beautiful face, Rolan smiled broadly. “Hai Keke! How are you?”

“Rolan is here, he's been waiting for you for a long time. Don't make a man as handsome as he waits.”

“Brussstttttttt!!”, Rolan choked on hearing that name, Rolan who was sipping coffee was instantly shocked to the point that all the coffee he had been steaming out! He was shocked as he held back the laughter of hearing Grandpa Liam's words.

Yeah right, Rolan choked on his own coffee until he coughed. Even today he is confused between holding a cough or looking for a handkerchief in his pants pocket. The man was misbehaving, that's what he was going through. 

“Grandfather, look at Rolan until it chokes! Stop teasing him!” anneke.

Grandfather Liam who saw the appearance of his grandson could only shake his head. Why does his favorite grandson like to dress like a teenager? Did he not realize that his appearance was so cute? How many men out there would be interested in their grandchildren? Fortunately, there was Rolan who could take care of Anneke.

“Keke...quickly get ready. Rolan wants to take you out to eat.” said Liam's grandfather. She is thrilled with the arrival of Rolan, as Liam thinks maybe his grieving granddaughter just got divorced. At least with the presence of Rolan can entertain him. Moreover, they had been friends since childhood and Liam knew the nature of Rolan.

“Alright! I'm getting ready first! Rolan no problem right wait a little longer?” ask Anneke.

“No problem! We're not in a hurry. It's too early for lunch.”

“I change clothes first yes. Add more coffee, do not hesitate yes Rolan!” anneke said as she turned her body and left.

Before long Anneke returned with a different look. He was wearing jeans combined with a blue cardigan and a creamy interior. Nude color makeup polish makes it look fresh, her hair tied to a horse braid with the tip in the curly.

Anneke wore wedge shoes and a limited edition satchel bag. After saying goodbye to his grandfather and father, they left the Runako residence.

“Tell me what happened?” asked Rolan as he drove his car.

“Nothing special. I'm divorced!” anneke said leisurely without the slightest burden.

“What? You serious? Why are you suddenly getting divorced? All this time I thought you loved Noah so much! To the extent that you sacrificed everything for the sake of that man.”

“Already! No need to talk about it anymore. What matters now is that I am free of everything. I don't want to be a stupid woman anymore!” said Anneke turned to look at Rolan who was also looking at him.

“Then what's your next plan?” asked Rolan who was curious about Anneke's change.

“Doing what I should have done! Rolan, I don't want to waste my life anymore.”
