DEAR
Episode 83

News of Sherin being admitted to the hospital due to stress in her pregnancy was immediately spread throughout the media as well as TV stations. That made Melisa who was also caught on camera became Alex's partner while attending the Gilbert family event to be targeted by people out there.

Lena also knew the news because she accidentally saw it on the news online while playing her mobile phone. Lena tried not to care because it had nothing to do with her. Although his conscience still feels sorry for Sherin who seems not to be considered a wife by Alex.

While Melisa, she felt uncomfortable because many spicy comments and insults were directed at her. Even when leaving for Alex's company, Melisa also gets a cynical look from most employees who also work there.

“Mbak, the water is full.”

Sasha's voice surprised Melisa. The woman regained consciousness immediately from her daydream and then stopped pressing the dispenser button in front of her. Melisa clucking. Because of his stupidity now the floor around him became muddled. Luckily, the water did not wet his shoes.

Sasha who saw that came closer. Without even asking Sasha knew what Melisa was thinking right now. Because Sasha also knew about the news that was circulating. It is impossible if Melisa does not care about the spicy comments and insults from people who comment on the news online. They blamed and cornered Melisa even to mention Melisa as an actor.

“You don't papa right Mel?” Ask Sasha.

Melisa turned to look at Sasha who was smiling kindly at her. Of the many new co-workers Sasha smiled at him today. But Melisa believes Sasha also knows about the news that is circulating now.

“Hem no, I am not papa.” Melisa replied, which then passed. Melisa is reluctant to linger long interacting with anyone now. Because Melisa thinks everyone must be blaming her and accusing her of being the third person in Alex and Sherin's marriage relationship.

Sasha who saw that could only shake her head. Melisa is not easy to get along with anyone. His sometimes cynical attitude also makes friends and office friends sometimes feel uncomfortable with him. No wonder if when Melisa was exposed to cases like now they were so excited to dig up all the mistakes that were not necessarily true Melisa did. Because Melisa has always been close to Alex even when Alex was still in a relationship with Lena.

Sasha then stares at the muddy floor as it spills water from Melisa's drinking bottle. Not wanting anyone to slip and fall, Sasha immediately called the office girl and told her to clean the muddy floor.

The news also reached David's ears. David also sees Alex and Melisa's joints attending the party. And David doesn't if Alex and Melisa's closeness turns out to be more than he imagined. David thought they were only close to superiors and subordinates. But in fact they are even like a couple who love each other when attending the luxury event.

“Sabar yes Vid.. Sometimes not everything we see is in accordance with reality. It could be that your brother is just trying to be professional at work. Maybe replace the wife of your brother's ailing boss to be his superior partner.” Entertain Pretty, a close friend of David's who sits next to David in the school cafeteria.

------------

It was at Harrison's luxury residence.

“Mommy said what was it this morning with you baby?” Erlan asked Lena who was taking fried chicken for her.

Lena sighed and smiled slightly.

“Mommy said she misses me. He's angry because last night you didn't pick up the phone from mommy.” Answer Lena.

“So the story he misses the same you doang so?” Erlan asked with an annoyed face.

Lena laughs amusedly seeing her husband's expression which she thinks is very funny. Erlan is like a child who does not accept if his parents love other children more than him.

“For that I don't know yes.”

Erlan sighed. She's not really jealous of Natasha's feelings for Lena. Erlan was happy because finally Natasha could accept Lena as what Erlan expected.

Lena then went back to eating the food on her plate. But his mind goes back to what is being talked about in the media today. That's about Sherin's situation which he said was frustrated because Alex brought Melisa as a couple at the party yesterday.

Erlan who already understood everything about Lena frowned. Erlan knew there was something Lena was thinking about right now.

“Is there something bothering you dear?” Erlan asked Lena.

Lena stopped chewing the food in her mouth. Erlan always understood himself.

“Tell me whatever it is. Not in the sniffers themselves. Okay?” Erlan's smile persuaded Lena very gently.

Lena grabbed a glass of water beside her plate and drank it a little. After that Lena put it back where it was.

“About the breaking news.”

Erlan was puzzled for a moment but finally understood what Lena was saying. The news is very crowded in the conversation across TV stations even on various social media.

“Actually while at the party I also saw Alex and Melisa together. I don't think everything's gonna be this big Erlan. What else is Sherin who he said was frustrated because of what Melisa and Alex did.” Lena said truthfully what was bothering her mind right now.

Erlan smiled hearing that. The man put the spoon and fork he held. He finished his lunch which he had already spent and only stayed a little. That's the part Erlan doesn't like.

“Sayang.. You don't have to think about them. They are adults and should know what they should do and what they should not do. Not everything in the media is true. It could be just an unclear issue spread to make the news more explosive. Think positive, baby.. It is possible that Sherin could not attend yesterday because she was sick and directly asked Melisa to replace her as Alex's partner at the event held by the Gilbert family. Simple right?”

Lena looked at Erlan who was smiling so gently as to ask that Lena not think too much about what was not the case. But Erlan conveyed her point in a language that Lena thought was very easy to understand and did not touch her.

“Yes.. You're correct. I shouldn't think of them. I've got my own life with you. And it seems that there is no point also I think of them.” Lena smiled in agreement with what Erlan said. His mind was instantly distracted and felt he shouldn't be thinking about a problem he had nothing to do with.
