Before Divorce
Chapter 18 - Meet Arya & Litha

The cuddle scene between Shiena and Willy is seen by Shiena's two best friends Friska and Anila. They both felt relieved to see Shiena and Willy's togetherness getting better.

"Maybe this is a good start for them huh, Nile." Friska hopes Willy will soon be accepted by Shiena.

Anila only showed a smile to Friska. I don't know what Anila is thinking right now. There was something he was trying to hide from his two best friends.

Shiena returned home with a relieved feeling. He manages to convince Willy to make up with his father. But, Shiena had to make sure of everything first.

Today Shiena deliberately went to Willy's father's office. Although Shiena had no idea what she wanted to say later when she met Arya, Shiena's intention was to help Willy.

"Good day, Ma'am. Can I meet Mr Arya?" shiena asked politely to the receptionist in the office.

Shiena just found out that Willy's father's office is quite large. Willy should be able to replace his father as CEO if only they made up for it long ago.

"Did you make an appointment earlier?" ask the receptionist.

Shiena shakes. "Yet, Ma'am. But, I want to talk important things with Mr. Arya. It's about his son Willy." Shiena tried to convince the receptionist.

Although he seemed to frown, the receptionist still conveyed his message to Arya's secretary. In fact he was wondering who the son Shiena meant. Because all this time they know if Arya only has one daughter only.

After the receptionist contacted Arya's secretary, she told Shiena that the girl could go straight up to the 5th floor where Arya's room was.

"Thank you Ma'am" Shiena said politely. Then Shiena went to the 5th floor as the receptionist had said.

Shiena sighed before stepping forward towards Arya's room. Shiena knocks on the door and a woman appears who she believes is Aryan's secretary.

"Please miss, Mr. Arya is waiting for you."

Shiena nodded. He stepped in. A warm welcome from Arya who wears a smile makes Shiena's nervousness disappear.

"Please sit!" arya.

Arya seemed to notice Shiena's figure. "Hmm I just remembered, you were the girl who came with Willy that afternoon right?"

"Y-yes, Om. My name is Shiena."

Arya nodded. "You ... Willy's girlfriend?"

"Eh? Nope, Om." Shiena smiled clumsily.

(I am indeed Willy's wife, but not in the present)

"But I know you guys are pretty close. Although I rarely met Willy, but I always watched him from afar."

Shiena swallowed her saliva.

(What? So, Om Arya knows dong about my relationship and Willy's complicated mas.).

Shiena is not happy with Arya.

"I'm glad you're going to see me. My relationship with Willy is not as good as the relationship between father and son in general." There was a look of sadness on Arya's face when she told me about herself and Willy.

"That's why I came here, Om. I want Om and Willy's mas to make up."

Arya looks smiling. "Look, our problems aren't as easy as you might think."

"Then tell me! What happened to the Om family? I can never understand why Willy won't be able to accept his family again..."

Shiena. Shiena was carried away with emotion. His future memories are back. How it used to be that Willy didn't even want to be present on the day of Arya's funeral. Shiena did not want Willy to regret what had happened a second time. Shiena wants Willy to be able to establish a relationship like a father and son in general.

Arya glazed over hearing Shiena's statement. Arya knows that the young girl in front of her cares for Willy very much and also loves him very much.

"Thank you for your concern. I'm so grateful, Shiena..."

Shiena walked out of Arya's office with a roaring heart. Shiena could see that Arya loved Willy very much. But, Shiena was still at a loss as to what was really going on with the Willy family.

Upon arriving at the office lobby, the dreamy Shiena instead collided with a woman about to enter the office.

"Ah, sorry. I didn't intentionally," Shiena said with a bow of respect.

The woman's soft voice made Shiena freeze. He seemed to recognize the voice of the woman.

When the woman stepped back, Shiena only realized that she did know the woman.

"Tante Litha!" call Shiena.

The woman turned her head and looked at Shiena. "Yes?" The woman was puzzled as she felt that she did not know Shiena.

Wow, it seems that today Shiena has crossed the line. He seemed unaware of the actions he was doing today.

Litha stared confusedly at Shiena's now silent attitude.

"Sorry, Miss. Have we met before?"

Shiena shook her head then a second later she nodded. Litha was further confused by Shiena's behavior.

"Aunty, can I talk to Auntie? Just one second!" shiena Pinta.

"But I have to see my husband."

"I'm sure Om Arya will understand. Please!"

Although not sure about Shiena, but Litha knows that Shiena is a good girl.

"alright. Your name's..."

"I'm Shiena, Aunt. I'm a friend of Willy's sister."

Hearing the name of the boy she continued called Shiena, making Litha stunned. Litha knew that this girl must have met her husband.

Litha and Shiena were sitting opposite each other in a cafe not far from Arya's office. Shiena looked at Litha fixedly. Willy's words in the future made Shiena teary.

Willy never introduced Litha directly to her. Shiena only knows Martha, Willy's sister. Even during their marriage, Willy did not recognize Litha and Arya as his parents. At that time Shiena was just trying to understand Willy's feelings. Shiena knew Willy had experienced things alone, and she was used to it.

But now Shiena doesn't want Willy to feel alone like he used to. Shiena wanted to change everything. His destiny and Willy's destiny.

"Shyena..." Litha clasped Shiena's hand as she saw that the girl was silent.

"Eh? Yes, Aunt. Sorry if I'm daydreaming..." Shiena scratched her nape.

"You ... know Willy?"

Shiena nodded. "Yes, Aunt."

"Are you guys close?"

Shiena lowered her face. It felt too embarrassed to admit it now in front of Litha.

"I know you were seeing my husband. What exactly do you want to say?"

Shiena bit her lower lip. Shiena realized that she had gotten too involved with Willy's family problems.

(But Willy's mas family is my family too right? In the future they are also my parents just like my father and mother)

Shiena reassured herself if what she was doing right now was for the good of everyone especially Willy.

"Shyena? How do you dream again?"

"Eh, ma-sorry, Aunt. Actually I. I know it's rude, but I just want to help Brother Willy make up with you guys..."

Without Shiena guessing, it turned out that Litha smiled when she heard Shiena's wish. Once again Shiena got a thank you from Litha.

"Tante, sorry. Do I... can you tell me what really happened to Willy's sister and you? I'm sorry if I'm presumptuous, but I don't want to blame you guys in the future if you're innocent."

Litha sighed. For years, no one had ever asked her how she felt, how she lived her life. They all just looked at Litha as a second wife, and the woman who grabbed the man's husband.

"All right, Auntie will tell you everything. After that, it's up to you whether you'll believe in Auntie or not..."
