Duren Mateng's
Chapters 226. Not For the Second Time
Alvaro and June are on their way back to headquarters. Every now and then Alvaro glances at June, he feels bad to bring Juni and Shinta together, which turns out they have no relationship anymore.
"June ...."
"Yes, sir." June chimed in while looking at Alvaro from the central rearview mirror.
"I'm sorry. I really don't know if you don't have a relationship with Shinta anymore" Alvaro said.
"It's okay, sir. After all, Mr. Alvaro did not know this before," explained June.
After saying that sentence, the two fell silent again. June looks focused on the street.
In a different place, Shinta was currently in Alvira's room. The two were sitting on the sofa in the room talking.
"Are you seriously breaking up with June?" asked Alvira who seemed to not believe the previous June speech.
Shinta smiled, slowly nodding her head to the words of her superior.
"Since when was Shin? What since your move here?" ask Alvira.
"No, Ma. All of this has nothing to do with my move here" Shinta replied. He did not want his boss to feel guilty.
"If you want to move again to the headquarters, that's okay. Later I will talk about this to Alvaro," said Alvira who felt bad for Shinta. He understood, maybe the reason the two broke up was because they were suddenly separated by a considerable distance.
"No need, Mom. My problem with June has nothing to do with work" Shinta replied.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, Mom."
"Yes, then you can go back to your desk. However, if you do not feel at home here and want to return to headquarters, you can be frank with me. I will definitely return you" Alvira said.
Shinta responded to the superior's words with a slow nod. "Then I say retreat first, Mom."
Shinta moved from her seat. He lowered his head for a moment, then walked out to get back to his desk.
Alvira watched Shinta. The mother-of-one sighed, shaking her head.
"Love is complicated. I hope my love journey with Arjuna is not as complicated as theirs. Just once I was broken by a man, not a second time" muttered Alvira.

"Is there any PR yet to be done?" ask Alvaro.
"No, Pa. Everything is done" Bima said.
"Good then. Now wash your feet and brush your teeth, son. After that go straight to bed because tomorrow Bima has to go to school" said Alvaro.
"Attent, Pa. Bima wants to kiss her sister before going to bed" said Bima who had moved from her seat.
"Come Pa!" Bima slightly pulled her father's hand, walking towards her mother's room.
"After this Bima don't forget to wash your feet and brush your teeth, son. Mama will be angry if Bima does not do that" said Alvaro.
"Ready, Pa!" Bima chimed in the words of the father so excitedly.
Arriving in front of the room, Bima knocked on the door first before entering. Rania opened the door to the room, smiling widely when she found her eldest son in front of the door with Alvaro.
"Just go in, honey. No need to knock on the door of everything," said Rania.
"Not polite, Ma. Said Ma'am Guru, before entering it is better to knock on the door and say greetings first," said Bima.
Rania directly stroked the top of Bima's head gently. "Smart kid!"
"Ma, Bima wants to kiss her sister first before going to bed" said Bima who walked to the top of the mattress.
Rania chuckled, she and Alvaro immediately approached Bima who was kissing her two children in turn.
"Sir, tonight don't cry. Don't make my mom tired. Later if the brother is big, the brother will take care of the sister. Remember brother's message yes, Dek."
Hearing Bima's words, made Rania moved. Although Bima is not the flesh of Rania, but Rania really loves Bima with her heart, giving affection without distinguishing her from other children.
"Ma, Pa, Bima sleep first huh. Good night Mama, Papa ...."
"Night too, son. What a beautiful dream, baby." Rania again stroked Bima's head, until finally Bima stepped away from there.
After the door closed again, Rania looked at the husband who showed his disheveled face.
"What's up, Pa? Why is your face so tangled?"
"Papa's not okay, Ma."
