Bitter Wedding
Noona

"Sorry, I can't do it yet" Reino said, lying down and turning his back to Eliza.

"Is there a problem with you?" ask Eliza curious.

"none. It's better that we go to sleep now" Reino replied, turning off the lights and trying to sleep.

Though he's not sure he's going to sleep tonight.

The memory of those bitter memories still haunted him.

Eliza could only stare at her husband's back with question marks.

What really happened to that guy?

"Wooy!!! Just daydream. There are beautiful women who come to be dicuekin," said Hilma who at that time came to the cafe Eliza.

Eliza and Hilma have agreed to resign together from their old workplace and build Eliza's new cafe together.

Hilma glanced towards the kitchen which seemed to have already had life there.

"Yes there is already a chef for our special desert menu. Reino's been looking for her. And now he's trying to make new menus" Eliza said.

It answered a question that Hilma had not yet spoken.

"Well, I'm so jealous of you. You have the perfect husband. Handsome, well-established and considerate," seduced Hilma.

Again Eliza only smiled bitterly at Hilma's words that did not match the reality in nature.

It's not because what Hilma said is not true.

Of course Reino was like what Hilma had said.

But Eliza had not felt the man's affection for her.

Eliza is trying to open up.

Trying to love her.

But he felt that only he was trying.

Not for Reino.

How could Eliza enter Reino's life if she didn't open her heart to him?

"Did she marry me, just to play me?" thought Eliza.

Ah Eliza did not want to think about it first today.

Now he wants to focus on preparing for the opening of his new cafe.

"Yesterday I've made some job advertisements on the internet. We just have to wait," Eliza said while focusing on her laptop screen.

He hopes to open the cafe soon.

Because this is Eliza's dream since long ago, which is to have his own cafe.

Meanwhile in the office, Reino still looked chaotic.

He has not been able to forget his memories of Lyla's death that suddenly attacked him last night.

"You why? Is there a problem going on?" ask Winda when he saw Reino's gelagat that was not as usual.

"It's okay" replied Reino lying.

"Don't lie, I can see it easily. Just tell me, who knows I can help you," said Winda who sat in front of Reino.

For a moment Reino was silent.

Thinking if he could tell this to Linda?

"I was suddenly reminded of Lyla's death a few years ago. And it tormented me a lot" Reino said at the end of the day to tell her grievances.

Winda took a deep breath.

Like he knows the root of this problem.

"Maybe this happened because you were married to a woman similar to Lyla. So when you see her, you keep seeing Lyla's shadow behind her,"

"Maybe so," muttered Reino.

"Am I wrong to marry Eliza? But I do like him even though I can't love him yet like I loved Lyla just yet" Reino said.

"Then what should I do? I can't keep ignoring Eliza who's already my wife,"

Miris, although Winda does not like Reino's marriage to Eliza.

But he also could not see Reino suffering as he was now.

He finally found something in his bag.

After finding the thing he was looking for, he gave it to the man.

Reino received a name paper that Winda handed to him.

There is written the name of Doctor Hendri as a psychology specialist.

"Maybe Doctor Hendri can help you, I've consulted him a lot. And as a result I was able to overcome the heavy things that had happened to me all this time" said Winda.

"Do you have any serious personal problems?" ask Reino curious.

"Yes, but I can handle it. And it's all thanks to Doctor Hendri as well" replied Winda confidently.

Actually, the problem that Winda faced was about his feelings for Reino during this time who clapped one hand.

He managed to control it well.

Because if not, he might have done something that hurt himself or someone else.

From his consultation with Doctor Hendri managed to make himself restrain his emotions and ambitions towards Reino.

He learned to give something that was not his.

"I'll try it, thank you Winda," said Reino.

Winda nodded and said,

"I hope your trauma will be healed. And you can start a new life happily" said Winda.

"Although not with me. Because your happiness is everything to me" said Winda in heart.

***

That afternoon Eliza and Hilma were chatting while tasting some new menus created by their chefs.

His name is Chef Adi.

Chef Adi, already has experience working in several cafes before.

He decided to accept this job offer because he knew Reino and he wanted to help him advance his wife's cafe.

Suddenly the cafe door opened.

A man went inside and came to the table of Eliza and Hilma.

The man stopped right in front of Eliza's desk.

"Good afternoon, I would like to meet the owner of this cafe" said the man politely.

Hilma spewed out the water she had just drank.

Eliza did not blink after seeing the man in front of her.

The black-haired man in the middle split style smiled sweetly at the two women who were in front of him.

"Are you an artist?" the first question that came out of Eliza's mouth.

The man laughed at Eliza's question.

"No, but I'm an exchange student from South Korea. My name is Im Hyunsik. And I want to apply for a job here" he replied.

"You are accepted" said Hilma loudly.

"What the fuck. I'm the owner of this cafe, I have the right to decide" said Eliza.

Hilma then pulled Eliza's arm and whispered something into her ear.

"You think all right, if he works here, your cafe will always be crowded. Let's just take her," Hilma pleaded.

Eliza returned to Hyunsik regardless of Hilma's words.

"What work can you do here?" ask Eliza.

"I can be a bartender, because while in Korea I've worked part-time at cafes several times there"

Eliza mangosteen sign understand.

"How long have you been living here? Do you seem to be fluent in Indonesian?"

"It's been two years" Hyunsik replied.

"Hmm well, because you have the criteria we want. You can start working.." Eliza did not continue her sentence.

He had not thought when he would open the cafe.

"TURN" whispered Hilma who was next to Eliza.

Eliza rolled her eyeballs.

"All right, you start work tomorrow. And we'll start opening this cafe tomorrow too. So please work with him. We built this cafe from scratch" Eliza said.

"Well noona, I'll work hard. The spirit!" hyunsik said as he clenched his right hand in the air like the scene Eliza had seen in Korean dramas she sometimes watched.

"What is noona??"
