Maxim's effort to establish an intimate relationship with Amelia, instantly shattered when Marinda harasses him on a phone call. As a result, Amelia sleeps on her back to Maxim without responding to him again. Maxim could only sigh in disappointment and had to settle for just hugging Amelia.
The next day Amelia's frost continued. His attitude returned cold and more silent. Amelia continues to serve Maxim's needs ahead of the office as the man requests. But his mouth was locked without saying a word.
Maxim repeatedly cursed Marinda who destroyed her hard work in seconds. Now Maxim is forced to think hard to find a way to thaw Amelia back.
"Amel, help me put this together." Pinta Maxim while handing over her tie.
Without speaking Amelia grabbed the tie in Maxim's hand and wrapped it around the man's neck. Amelia did not look at Maxim at all. He just focused on his job. While Maxim enjoyed that pretty face without blinking. Seeing Amelia unaffected by her gaze, Maxim wrapped her hands around Amelia's waist.
Maxim's hope is only hope. Amelia remained unaffected and remained silent a thousand languages. Eventually Maxim could not stand Amelia's cold attitude anymore. With ignorance he kissed the lips that looked tempting even though they were perfect since then.
"Max...! Shut up, it's almost done." Pekik Amelia is upset that Maxim is disturbing her concentration. Amelia was actually groggy, but she was trying to calm down and focus.
"Cups"
Maxim repeated it again to make Amelia completely blank and lost concentration. Amelia forgot how to conclude the tie and went back to repeating it. But she finally gave up because Amelia completely forgot that Maxim was pulling her waist up.
"Max. Look, because of you I forgot how. You piss me off." Ketus Amelia nags at Maxim.
Not angry Maxim even smiled happily. For her it is better to be in Amelia than Amelia to speak a thousand languages. Maxim pulled the tie that Amelia concluded back and before Amelia protested Maxim smashed her now pursed lips in annoyance. Amelia is instantly incapacitated by Maxim.
Amelia was silent, her upset that Maxim received a call from Marinda last night was still feeling. Maxim stopped his unrequited activities. Staring at Amelia who was also looking at him annoyed. Maxim wiped off his salivary marks on Amelia's lips and looked back at Amelia.
"I know you're upset, but I'm happy. I consider this a jealous effect. But I'm sorry because Marinda and I will always communicate and even meet for some time to come. Until the contract ends. Fashion Show next month. After that I promise to keep my distance from her." Clearly Maxim while staring at Amelia fixedly.
"I'm fine. I know you, not enough women. I'm just pissed at myself. Don't worry about me. Live your life as usual, I will try to accept and realize my position which is only..hmmp!".
Maxim again silenced Amelia's lips so as not to continue his speech. Maxim knew very well what Amelia was going to say and Maxim didn't want to hear it.
"Don't lower yourself, Honey. You're my wife, remember that, forget what I said back then because all I said was just to pressure you into marrying me." Maxim's speech was soft but with an emphasis on each word.
"I'm afraid of pain, Max. I'm not as strong as Light and not as strong as Rose. I was afraid that karma would punish me severely. It feels awful." Amelia spoke with a trembling voice.
"It won't happen, I'll take care of myself from now on. Getting yourself is very difficult and very long. I won't waste this opportunity." Maxim said seriously.
Amelia tried to digest all of Maxim's words. Staring at Maxim fixedly seeking the truth of his words. For a moment Amelia recalled the words of the Light of that time, about the changed Maxim. Back Amelia tries to convince herself after some time this Maxim also looks different.
Amelia no longer said, her heart still doubtful. He recoils the tie Maxim had removed and placed it on Maxim's neck correctly. When he finished, he looked back at Maxim and said...
"I'm just giving up on the direction of fate. Don't know what's going on ahead. But if you can't make me happy, can you let me go well. Do not cheat or betray, because I believe it will be difficult to forgive one mistake.
" I will make you happy, no cheating or betrayal. I love you and the kids more than my life. Sorry if yesterday I forgot you for a moment. That's the last one, I promise." Maxim hugged Amelia tightly and Amelia returned the favor this time.
"Go, it's time for you to work." Amelia took off the winding of her hand on Maxim's waist.
"I'll meet Marinda today for fitting because tomorrow there's a photo shoot for pamphlets and commercials." Maxim said as if asking Amelia for permission.
"Do if for work, and remember your promise." Said Amelia while tidying Maxim's shirt with her hands. Then kiss Maxim's hand as usual.
" Hmm.. cup.... cup...!! I'm leaving." Maximpun replied to her on both Amelia's cheeks and lips.
πππ
As Maxim said this morning, today the schedule is solid with Marinda. Starting from choosing a shooting place that is shades of green nature because the theme of the show is Back To Nature. Then to Marinda's boutique to fit some clothes for a photo shoot.
Of course the opportunity was not wasted Marinda. The shooting location was deliberately taken in the Bogor area which according to Marinda there is a spot that fits the theme. They took two different locations with five different outfits. I'll spend all day for it.
Marinda looks very excited to make Maxim a little suspicious but trying to be pushed aside. Maxim returned to work professionally without thinking about unimportant things. Returning from the location of Maxim and Marinda stop by the boutique for fittings.
"Here I help!" Marinda helps Maxim put on a green tuxedo sage. "The tuxedo suits you, very handsome." Marinda rubbed Maxim's chest gently as if tidying up but with a sensual gesture.
"That's enough, it's fitting. I don't think the others need to try. I'm sure they're all the same size." Maxim breaks away from Marinda and takes off the expensive suit.
"Try one more Max, I'm afraid it doesn't fit. There's no time to fix it tomorrow." Whimper Marinda.
"Ok, one more. I have to get home, Amelia's cooking for dinner. I don't want to disappoint him." The heat gnawed at Marinda's heart. Maxim could have mentioned that name in front of him. Marinda is upset herself.
Maxim doesn't lie, Amelia sends him a message and says she'll cook him a special fish soup. Of course Maxim won't disappoint Amelia. This was the first time Amelia had sent him a message since marriage, let alone offered him a special meal. Maxim couldn't possibly ignore that.
Although his chest was full of anger Marinda still tried to keep a sweet smile on Maxim. He still helps Maxim put on his last outfit. Moss green shirt with white trousers. Maxim who has an athletic body despite his age of forty-five years. Europe's dominant mixed face with bluish green eyes adds a plus to it.
" The color of your eyes is very suitable to wear this stelan, Max. So handsome!" Praise Marinda honestly.
"You just realized I'm handsome? Unfortunately, my love already has. Now it's time to find the real partner, don't ruin someone else's household. Your life is too precious if you just throw it away for fun. I'm sure many will with you, you just need to tie one of them up. Have children, and live with your little family. That's so beautiful, Marinda."
Not without reason Maxim said so. Marinda has been trying to tease him. Maxim had shown a clear rejection but Marinda still aggressively approached him. There is a sense of pity for Marinda that Maxim feels, as a friend Maxim also wants Marinda to stop adventuring love. Doni has been happy, impossible to have by Marinda. Maxim is too.
The two men closest to Marinda who had been involved in a love triangle. Making Maxim wait for Marinda patiently, Marinda waited for Doni to open her heart. But Doni chose women who were far from their expectations. A veiled woman, the widow of the man who had an affair with Amelia.
But whose soul can guess. Like Doni who chose a depressed woman as his wife to fall in love with her fall. So does Maxim, falling in love with the woman he most avoids because of Amelia's bad past. It was that bad image that made Maxim look down on Amelia. To treat it with unworthiness even with a fantastic salary.
Now Marinda comes when Maxim's heart has changed. Trying to pull him back on the path Maxim had long left. Regretting has squandered the love Maxim gave her tirelessly. It's all too late now. A sense of loss after being no longer possessed. But Marinda with full confidence feels Maxim still loves her.
"I'm sure that love will return. Now it may be because of the guilt you married her, but as time goes on it will fade and love will return to its place. I'm starting to love you, Max. When you were hard I called I felt your loss. That's when I realized love existed, Max. Give me a chance. We must be happy." Marinda said feelingly. A soft, weak-sounding voice tried to seduce Maxim into sympathizing with her.
"I can't, Rin. That love has been dashed by time and your rejection." Maxim replied firmly.
"But I never refuse when you touch me." Marinda tried to remind the activities of those who often share the bed.
"I need your love, not your body. I need someone who considers me to be. Prioritize me and make myself a lifeline for him. But to you I'm just a place to channel your frustration to Doni. Just a s*x partner you can ask for when you need." Maxim's words slapped right at his target. Marinda was silent and did not refuse. Maxim's right, Marinda just used Maxim's taste for him.
Maxim went to the dressing room and changed his clothes. Linger with Marinda will not be good in the end. Talking too much also has no meaning. The woman was stupid, still as before. When Doni repeatedly refused. Marinda was only face-to-face. Maxim will act decisively like Doni this time.
Especially considering his beautiful wife is waiting with special dishes for him. I hope Amelia also gives up on him. Maxim will always follow the advice of Doctor Nadya. Diligent touch him until he himself asks to be touched. Given it all Maxim's amused himself. I want to go home to his little family soon.
