Arsenio and Aeleasha are still in Jakarta. They deliberately wait until Rafael's wedding is carried out so that they can launch a plan that has been arranged both.
Aeleasha was really holding her husband back from returning immediately for the happiness of her ex-husband. He does not want Rafael to repeat the past that made him sick and close himself.
Although their marriage was done because of a contract, Arsenio and Aeleasha would not allow the marriage to be a mere game.
This afternoon, Arsenio invited Rafael to lunch together and asked his lover who has the same name as his wife.
Although initially refused, Arsenio finally managed to make Rafael come with the woman in a restaurant that has been specially ordered.
In one room and containing four people, Alesha looked awkward with the existence of two people who meant for Rafael. In honor of both, he was forced to follow Rafael's wishes to come.
“Like this, we look like a double date. Right, right Darling?” aeleasha smiled at her husband.
“Already, you guys made it awkward. He is not so good at interacting with people, ” said Rafael who felt like ex-wife is very excessive.
“We've met in the hospital. I don't think there's any awkwardness anymore. Think of us as brothers. Anyway, I consider Rafael like a brother." Aeleasha answered Rafael's words by restraining the arrogance in the heart.
"Rafael is very good at protecting someone, for example, right now. He doesn't want you to feel roused with us.”
“Alright, time for lunch. I hope you enjoy the dishes that we have specially ordered.” Arsenio is now trying to decipher the tension between them.
“When will the wedding date be held? We have planned to stay here until you have the wedding,” asked Arsenio while chewing food.
Rafael had just put food in his mouth and sniffed his shoulders. "Eitherway. Alesha's mother is still in the doctor's care."
“No problem, I will send an expert doctor so that your mother can recover soon and you can carry out the marriage as soon as possible. Isn't faster better?” aeleasha said to Rafael.
“It looks like it can't be in the near future. Anyway I still have to go to college and finish it?” sahut Alesha tried as much as possible to postpone the marriage because at this time the thing that was thought of was Alex.
"You can still go to college even though you're married to Rafael. Isn't that what it is?”
“Yes, college is not a high school that needs graduation to get married.” Rafael answered briefly with a raging feeling at once annoyed at what Aeleasha was doing at this time as if he was encouraging her to get married.
Rafael's words made Arsenio and her wife smile.
While Alesha was just speechless and felt very confused about what to respond.
“Excuse me, I go to the toilet first,” say goodbye to everyone there.
In the toilet, he looked confused. On the other hand there was Alex still waiting for him. Even his feelings are more likely to choose Alex if he can.
It's just that he's still bound by the marriage contract he's signed.
“Why is everything so messed up like this?” muttered Alesha who felt very confused to choose.
Looking from behind, Aeleasha caught up and stood there to calm Alesha down.
“Alesha, you don't have to worry. Even if you don't love Rafael, at least you've been trying to help him avoid an arranged marriage. I know how you feel because I've felt it before."
"Where do I just think of him as a brother. It's all because Rafael is too good. If now he obtained the same woman as before, perhaps that would already be his destiny. She can't have a woman like her wish.”
Hearing Aeleasha's words, made Alesha feel guilty.
Rafael has been very concerned about the condition of his mother who is currently in the hospital.
“Alright, I hope you can take the wisdom of all this. I hope at least for Rafael to be happy, even if only once.”
Not answering, after Aeleasha's departure, now guilt and regret appeared on him. Alesha was pensive for a while before finally rejoining them in the same room.
“Lunch today is very interesting. I'm glad to see you guys coming. Should we have lunch together again sometime?” aeleasha asked who glanced at Alesha at a glance as she had just landed a body on the chair.
“I'm very busy and Alesha is too. It seems not to be able to," replied Rafael who now felt tormented by the look of happiness ex-wife.
"It's a shame." Aeleasha displayed a sour face to Rafael's reply, but could not do anything.
They continued eating and half an hour later finished. Rafael returns to deliver Alesha to the hospital.
The meeting made Alesha shocked to the point of being unable to say anything more.
Alex greeted them kindly. Even the man did not show his jealousy, although Rafael did some intimate moves.
“Honey, we have to get to your mother's room. Don't you want to see it soon?” rafael asked with a firm embrace.
“Iya.” Alesha answered softly and repeatedly swallowed the saliva violently.
The second step back to the patient's room. Alesha really felt very anxious after her meeting this time.
In his heart, Alex would definitely reply to what he had just seen when they met on campus.
“What do you think? Are you thinking about Alex?” rafael asked ascertained and looked suspiciously.
“No, I just feel awkward and confused with your ex-wife earlier.”
“Aeleasha? What's wrong with him?”
“Dia .. too open.”
“Yes, that's how he is. Always looks like the sun that brightens the surroundings.”
“And other facts, you can't forget it, right?”
“Already, we should not discuss Aeleasha here.” Rafael has now arrived at Alesha's mother's care room and is accompanying her there.
After two hours of being there, Alesha decided to return home. There is a task left behind and intends to take on a change of clothes.
Rafael is happy to deliver Alesha to pick things up at home.
“You don't have to wait. Looks like I'll sleep at home tonight,” Alesha told me.
Rafael just nodded in understanding and thought if the woman was tired, so wanted to rest.
Meanwhile, Alesha is now alone in the house. His feelings are raging and erratic. I think there's something going on, I don't know what it is?
Finished with his preparation tomorrow, he almost lay down if he did not hear the sound of the door being knocked.
He looked towards the wall clock and directly walked forward to open the door. Now, he rounded his eyes as soon as he saw someone standing at the door of his house.
He saw Alex standing there staring at him.
“Alex? How can you be here?”
Alex pushes Alesha's body in. The man now hugged tightly, as if to remove the former touch of Rafael earlier when looking at the hospital.
“What's up? Why are you here?” ask Alesha again.
“You still ask? What am I here for. Of course to meet you. You've been like a ghost all day that I couldn't find. Where to?” sarkas Alex with a reddened face because he was overwhelmed by jealousy that was being held back.
“I meet the lunch invitation, then .. wait! Why would I explain it to you?” Alesha even massaged the temple because she felt so stupid.
“Because I am someone who is always on your mind.”
“You're too confident. It's late, go home! I need time to rest.”
“I'll be here until you fall asleep.”
“No, Alex! Please, go! I don't want Rafael to see you here.”
“Rafael? I made sure of it. That guy won't come here. He's back at his house.”
Alesha could not say anything more. Now, he is like someone who is helpless because Alex does not want to leave even though he has been kicked out.
