Before Divorce
Chapter 26 - Time Flies So Fast

Time passes so quickly. Shiena and Willy choose to live their respective lives without intervening.

Now Shiena is busy taking care of her college and also her final assignment. His mission to unite Shandy and Anila has finally succeeded. They are now in love even though they have not received the blessing of Anila's family who live outside the city.

Anila still works as a cafe waitress to make ends meet and also sends a little money to her family. Anila did not want her family to owe a debt to a wealthy merchant who ended up making her life suffer in the future. Anila was already steady with her choice of heart with Shandy.

"Hi," said Shandy who disguised himself as a cafe visitor and greeted Anila who served him.

"Bang Shandy? What's here?" anila asked in a whisper.

"I'm meeting my girlfriend here." Shandy blinked one eye.

"Jeez, Bang! What if people knew?"

"It's okay! If necessary, I will buy this cafe for you. So you don't have to bother working here. You're the boss here. How's it?"

Anila shook her head slowly. "Sir, Bang. I want my life to be as normal as it used to be. I don't want anything to change."

Shandy frowned. "For as long as you are like me, you feel your life is not normal. That so?"

"Bu-not that, Bang!"

"People!" Suddenly the owner called Anila.

The girl immediately said goodbye to Shandy and stepped away.

"Yes, Mom! What's up?" asked Anila politely to the cafe owner's mother, Mrs Ratih.

"Is there a problem with the visitor?" ask Mrs Ratih.

Anila shook her head. "E-no, Mom."

"Trus why are you even talking there and forgetting about your duties?" It seems that Bu Ratih does not like Anila who is thought to spread charm to male visitors.

"Is there a problem if I invite you to talk to your employees?" Shandy approached Anila who was being scolded by Bu Ratih.

"Eh? Ah, no Mas. It's just that I'm afraid if my employees bother their mas." Suddenly Madam Ratih spoke softly in front of Shandy.

"Anila doesn't bother me at all. She is my lover. So, never scold him. I could've sued Mom for being mean to Mom's employees!"

Shandy's words made Mrs Ratih speech silent in a thousand languages. During this time Mrs Ratih was often acting arbitrarily against her men. Shandy had long noticed that Mrs Ratih's attitude was not good to her employees.

Shandy takes Anila away from the cafe and resigns. Shandy will find a better job for his girlfriend.

"Bang, why did you have to come out anyway? Don't you know if finding work is hard, Bang!" Anila pout.

"Darling, I'll find you another job. Okay well? With a boss who values his employees more. He should have realized, if he is nothing if there are no employees like you. I was upset!"

Anila smile. It turns out that this lover has a very good heart.

Shiena went back and forth to meet her guidance counselor so that the task was finally completed sooner than expected. Shiena wanted to quickly help the father in the company.

Yes, even though she can't always be a career woman, at least Shiena wants to feel like working in her father's company. If Shiena refused to pursue a career in her father's company, then it is different now.

"Alright, Shiena. Your final job is very good. I really like it. And everything is in accordance with the research you do. Please fix this section only. And for the others it is good. Congratulations, Shiena. You'll graduate soon."

The lecturer's long sentence made Shiena smile widely. Finally one by one the dreams he repeated began to materialize.

(Thank you, the universe.).

Meanwhile, Willy is now busy with his career in the company of his father, Arya. Today Arya plans to introduce Willy to all of her employees as the next president in her place.

During this time, Willy's status was an ordinary employee like the others. Willy asks Arya to hide her identity as Arya's son.

Willy wants people to acknowledge his ability to work and not just a connection. Arya and Litha strongly agree with Willy's idea.

Until finally, two years Willy worked as a subordinate of Arya. And now his status will no longer be hidden by Arya.

"Include me, this is Willy, my son. I know this notice surprised you all quite a bit. Because all this time you know, Willy was a regular employee. This is Willy's own wish, to test whether he's worthy to replace me or not."

"And now you can see the results for yourself. In two years, Willy managed to increase the company's profit by 75%."

Claps of applause echoed in the room. Some people seemed to whisper in praise of Willy's ability. But there are also those who still doubt Willy's ability.

"Thank you for all your welcome. I look forward to a team collaboration with all of you. I know I am nobody without you. Again, please support me! Reprimand me if I have a mistake to correct!" Willy bent his body slightly in honor of the shareholders in the room.

After getting acquainted with colleagues and company officials, Willy plans to meet Esti at the hospital.

"Will papa come?" asked Willy expectantly.

Arya has not visited Esti for a long time. This time Willy hopes Arya lowers her ego and forgives Esti's past mistakes.

Arya smile. "alright. Papa will come with you."

...***...

Arriving at the hospital, Esti who was sitting pensive in the park was surprised by the presence of two people who were important to her.

"Mas Aryan..." Esti smiles at the presence of Arya, her husband.

Arya returned Esti's greeting with a smile.

"Mother.." Willy's greeting made Esti turn to him.

"Willy..." Esti now recognizes Willy as her son, no longer as Arya.

"How's Mom doing?" asked Willy while gently rubbing his mother's head.

"Good mom you finally came too, son..." Esti hugged Willy.

There was an unusual feeling when Arya saw Esti hugging Willy. Actually Esti loved Willy and herself very much, but because of the excessive affection, made Esti become possessive and made her husband's child also an object that can be hurt to keep him at her side.

"Thank you for coming..."

Esti's thanks to the departure of Willy and Arya. Tonight is a peaceful night for Willy and his family.
