Karina stared at the screen of her phone with sadness. She has been calling her husband's cell phone number more than five times but it's always out of reach. Or not active. Even messages sent via chat only tick one in gray anyway. A sign that the chat is not logged in or the mobile number is blocked by the mobile phone owner.
Karina let out a long and heavy sigh staring blankly in front of her back staring at the file of the divorce suit that was on her desk.
"So, are you ignoring me?" How Karina breathed again. It has been more than ten times maybe he sighed because he had not responded to calls and chat messages since.
"Maybe he can be contacted." Guman Karina's looking for someone's cell phone number.
But it is again inactive and out of reach as well.
"Are they really off the island?" Guman Karina again because of his call to Aldi also answered the same operator.
Karina chose to put her phone away. The mind is still staring far ahead considering what happened to her husband so that it looks upset him and ended up silence him and ended up sending divorce papers without deliberating or talking well with him.
Karina got up from her seat choosing to leave because of lunch hour. He also wanted to have lunch outside to refresh his brain. Karina said to Ima for lunch outside which she was also preparing for lunch as well. Ima just agreed to see the look of Karina's tangled face forced to smile.

Karina was fiddling with her lunch lazily. He had to eat lunch because he did not want to get sick again. Despite her many problems, Karina is not the type to ignore her eating hours. He even chose to take revenge on a lot of food when his brain condition was not fine. Who then subconsciously her tears dripped out and felt better.
"Karina!" A person suddenly appeared in front of him. Fortunately his tears had been removed so he did not become a free spectacle of people visiting in restaurants. But whether it was her red eyes and nose, the people who saw her were fooled or not.
"Sir-lord." Nervous Karina looked at Bastian who appeared in front of her.
"Ah sorry, assume I never..."
"Sit down!" Pinta Karina looked at Bastian who was silent because she could not believe Karina's response. Some time ago, she was rejected by her daughter.
"I? Can I?" Karina nodded her head still with a reddened face.
"Master?" Karina asked for some reason her face looked fragile and wanted Bastian to give her a hug.
"Yes?" Bastian's assistant immediately left their desk giving time to both father and daughter. And fortunately also the table Karina is in the corner of the room so that the interaction there is rarely seen people.
"Can I hold you?" Karina asked expectantly with teary eyes. Bastian of course was surprised to see Karina's face made him feel the sadness of his daughter.
"Oh... Come here!" Bastian immediately understood and stood up from his seat even he had not had time to put his ass on the chair.

"Hiks..hiks..huaa..huaa.." Karina's cry instantly spilled, her tears rushing down her cheeks. It was as if the dam he had borne had broken down and could no longer be accommodated. Bastian fell silent while returning his daughter's warm embrace. She just fell silent while stroking Karina's soft long hair making Bastian's heart warm up feeling accepted by her long-lost daughter.
"Dad." Karina's gentle whisper made Bastian surprised but also happy at the same time. Doesn't that call indicate that she's been accepted by her daughter?
"Dad why did the old one come?" Guman Karina however could be heard by her ears.
"Sorry."
"Why are you taking so long?" Karina's whisper was accompanied by sobs even she had given up all her prestige. He needs someone to take care of all his problems.
And lucky Bastian who appeared at that time. He had just met with his business partner to discuss his work and had lunch and was about to go back to the office. But when he saw Karina lunch alone made him reflexively call her because of his longing. But rejection some time ago made him wrong and somehow suddenly Karina seemed to forget her words some time ago.
Of course Bastian is happy too. Accepted by his daughter from the woman he loves. And Bastian doesn't care if he's stared strangely at by those diners. Bastian chose to ignore her because he did not want Karina to feel rejected by him. Even though Karina is an adult, she still needs the love of her parents. Especially since childhood he did not know his biological parents, only the mother and father of the orphanage. He also had to share it with his sisters in the orphanage.
"Sorry." Bastian's words close his arms.
Karina's cries have not completely stopped even she shamelessly rubbed her snot on Bastian's shirt which she no longer wears the suit she released at lunch with her business relationship earlier. But Bastian let her just smile thinly at the indulgence Karina showed her. He felt happy and happy no matter how dirty his shirt was.
Bastian looked at Lucas as if asking with an eye asking what happened to Karina who was silent noiseless or moving again and even more limp old knee Bastian but did not dare to move even though he actually already tired enough.
"Miss Karina seems to be sleeping sir." Lucas's whisper was smoothed near Bastian's ear which Bastian immediately touched.
"Sleep?" Bastian's whisper was softened, Lucas nodded his head.
"Pop him to the car, don't get up! I'll take care of the bill and bring her stuff!" Bastian's words were also directly taken Lucas. Of course Bastian is not that strong to carry Karina, although Karina is thin but Bastian is too old to carry the body height like that model.
Although not willing, Bastian could only entrust to Lucas at that time. It seems his daughter has a big burden to see that she just muttered that sometimes clearly heard in Bastian's ears but also sometimes not heard clearly. He'll ask her later.
"Dad.hiks..." Guman Karina in Lucas's sling who looked at Karina with a meaningful look.

"What's up, sir?" Tanya Gio looked at Bryan bad mood after closing his call.
"Papa canceled his dinner." Tell Bryan who is still staring at his blackened phone screen to be astonished to hear his papa cancel their dinner.
"Oh."
"You're surprised too, right?" Ask Bryan. Staring at Gio who was nodding assented.
"Tumben papa canceled dinner with me?"
"Did she have a boyfriend?" Bryan asked himself. Gio did not answer, he knew Bryan's question was not in need of an answer.
"Know that I'm agreeing with Karina? Huff..." Guman Bryan continues his work.
"Did I just call Karina y?" Bryan asked looking at Gio who was just silently watching Bryan.
"It looks like Miss Karina didn't return to the office after lunch outside?" Tell Gio after he gets the information from his confidant who watches over Karina in the office where Karina works.
"really?"
"That's how the information of our man sir."
"It seems she's having trouble with her husband too." Guman Bryan continues his pending work.
"Before lunchtime there was a lawyer who came to visit in Miss Karina's study." The information Gio gave immediately made Bryan look up at Gio was worried.
"Lawyer?"
"Really sir?"
"What do you think Gio is talking about?" Bryan asked Gio as if Bryan already knew the answer even if it was just a guess.
"Is it in my mind and in your mind the same?" Gio was silent, he was flat and cold but very professional at work.
