“Meta.I know the time is not right, but from the beginning we never had a chance to speak well. It's best that we don't have to meet in the near future, it's best for both of us, and so is Rei. I purposely brought you here so that you can think calmly, and just decide what you really want from me after everything is done, I promise I will try to fulfill it as long as I can. Meta pliss.help me to think of the best way out to end all of this, because I really don't know what to do. And this step of my mother.everything is beyond my estimation.”
.

Mr. Rico's sentence last night kept repeating itself, and repeated.
Especially when remembering that Mr. Rico also told him to think calmly before deciding what Meta really wanted from him after everything was done, and the man will try his best to be able to meet Meta requests.
What kind of request does Mr Rico want to hear from him ?
It turns out that Mr. Rico really thinks of her as a matre woman who just wants her money. The man never thought that Meta always mentioned a price, just to maintain his true self-esteem, which the man would never be able to buy no matter what his value.
But no matter how Meta flips through the direction, purpose and curiosity of a Rico Chandra Wijaya, everything will only lead to one reality. Not for the man, not for Rei. Mr. Rico looked even more depressed because he could not end everything he had started.not because he was afraid of losing himself !
Not meeting anytime soon, and then until when ?
I don't know..
What Meta knows is that his work contract related to the indotama times square project has officially ended after the final meeting they have passed. Furthermore, all indotama times square management will be fully delegated to the management of the mall. That meant.. Meta will return again to the headquarters of the indotama group, where Mr. Tian has decided that he will return to fill the vacant secretary post of Mr. Tian after leaving Laras who has chosen SWD Fashion.
And after that night then all that remained was a long silence, as the figure of Mr. Rico had actually stepped away, disappearing from his sight. Leaving behind Meta who finally could only cry all night. Regret yourself.regret destiny.why he had to bond so intricately with a Rico Chandra Wijaya who made himself unable to recognize the color of his own heart. What does he really want ? is Rei the only reason that makes him greedy so reluctant to leave the life of Mr Rico ?
And finally Meta fell asleep with a noticeable trail of tears.
The next day when Meta opened his eyes, the sun had even been so high. The light drifted between the gaps of the curtains. Meta glanced at his watch which was still attached to his left wrist, and he was stunned when he found the clock that showed seven o'clock passing.
Meta got up from the soft bed like a zombie. A disheveled hair.The messy face.Even his body is still wrapped in the same clothes since yesterday signifies that he has missed the bathing ritual that he originally liked. Not even the rumbling stomach sounds due to not being filled since last night. Lunch at the rooftop with Rudi is the last food received his small stomach, it's appropriate if now the body part feels wrapped around.
Meta grabbed his phone for a moment. Some incoming notifications have been missed to open an email notification coming from the HR section of the indotama group headquarters. The official notice that he had occupied the position of secretary to Mr. Tian commenced tomorrow, as well as confirming that today he had received a dispensation. Perhaps part of the little bonus on its success is in full responsibility for all the administration that concerns the project until the end.
Meta looked at the mirror before him, looking closely at the form of himself that was so horror that had been perfectly reflected by the mirror surface.
“Armeta Wulansari. You are a strong person.You are even stronger than what you think.”.
Meta tried to smile at his own reflection. Trying to come to terms with her chaotic feelings until this morning.
When Meta intended to enter the bathroom his steps were off as soon as he heard the sound of his cellphone ringing. The face of Meta who was originally haggling simultaneously sumringah while reading a series of names on the screen of his phone..
‘Arini Ramdhan’
‘Calling.’.
Meta shifted the green icon by rushing.
“Halo, Rin.?”
“Halo mrs Rico Chandra Wijaya.
Arini's carefree greeting made Meta laugh. “Arini, what the hell.!” his protest was to stop the joking madam Ceo indotama group. “What's calling me ?”
“Wellcome home, my dear. Congratulations on finally becoming Tian's secretary again.”.
“Iya. luck is on my side, Rin.” smiled wryly.
“Then I want to be treated !”
“What ?” Meta was stunned to receive such an aggressive stance. “What pocket money does your husband love less ? tega-egasanya ask to be treated.”
“What is less ? I'm sick of my husband's own money. I want to feel your money. let's quickly do not be stingy, you just got a double bonus from the indotama times square project right.
Meta laughs at the spoiled whimper Arini.”Alright.. alright. I will treat you.. when ?”
“Of course today. I know you're vacant today, so I'd like to invite you to a meet up. By the way just you and me well. This is a special time mom-mak, no one can bring a boy.”
Arini said so cheerfully at the end of there, as if to express their freedom to enjoy the day without Sean and Rei.
Akhh. remembering about Rei made Meta's chest back congested suddenly because it was again filled with deep sadness.
Do not want to drag on in his grief, for a moment Meta had thought it should have fun. In addition, it is good to refresh his entire brain which is filled with various problems.
Meta knows exactly he can't disappoint Arini. Mrs Sebastian Putra Djenar was not able to arbitrarily go out of the house and have fun like an ordinary person, given the attitude of Mr. Tian who was very overprotective. Just to meet him, Arini must have taken the trouble to take out all the seduction techniques for Mr. Tian so that he can get a permit out of the magnificent palace of Sebastian Putra Djenar, especially without bringing Sean along.
“Alright, Rin. I agree we meet today. So.. just specify the place.”
After ordering the entire mall that actually belongs to her husband as well, she also, Arini who as usual always followed Beni finally chose to invite Meta to pamper themselves in a beauty salon that can be emptied immediately just to serve them both.
“How is Rei ?” Arini opened her voice as they were relaxing to enjoy matcha tea after doing all the series of beauty treatments that made Meta feel like a noble princess.
“Good..” replied Meta briefly, while sipping back the refreshing matcha tea.
“Then your daddy.?” kerling Arini teases.
“Daddy by Rei kali.!” spray Meta.
Arini laughed at Meta's misfortune.
“Kan said you called Rico by the appellation ‘daddy’ too.”
Although his heart was troubled but Arini's sentence was enough to make a smile present in Meta's lips just like that, considering how nice it would be to be with Rei, because Meta has the opportunity to join in calling the man with the name ‘daddy’.
“Iya indeed, but.” Meta sentence was cut off just like that realized that he almost entered the Arini trap that just wanted to tease him. “Arini.. what the heck..why did you become a prank like this.”
Arini laughed again, this time louder than the beginning. “Casual keless. I was just kidding.” elak Arini defended herself from the gaze of judgment Meta.
“Ishh.”
“But. so far.. you guys are fine right, Met ?” arini's tone of voice turned serious even though he said casually.
“Hmm.”
“Is everything going smoothly.?” ask Arini again.
“Of course everything went smoothly. Don't worry. i’m fine.”
But Arini instead looked at Meta fixedly. “You are great.” he said later.
“What ?”
“You're great if you can survive with Rico.”
Meta smiled at Arini's statement.
“Ihh..argain did not believe. You remember no, I used to even tell you about Lila who always said that Rico is the type of man without love ?”
Meta. All of those stories were even still imprinted on him. Not only once twice he and Arini often talk about all the things that concern Mr. Rico, who always complained to Lila about the picture in their household that was not berpondasikan anything but only a mere matchmaking, but, and they continue to live it by trying to continue to be happy along with the presence of Rei among them.
“Rico is a tough guy. Tian had even said that Rico's heart was like a lump of ice. However, I am optimistic about your relationship because if you feel comfortable, who knows it is because Rico's heart is also attached to you.”.
Meta hides his misery.
‘If you knew, Arini. that what you say optimistically is all wrong. This show will even end soon, because Mr. Rico's heart is not at all attached to me.. While Rei.. I don't know if Rei still remembers me ? or even have forgotten me just because of the presence of Shela.’
Bathin Meta was filled with endless sadness, even though his lips remained on the back of a smile.
