"I'm trying to control everything so as not to look stupid in front of you. But you know that it's not as easy as turning your palm, right?"
"So, please understand and again do not often remind me as if he is a stupid man who is not experienced in love. I was in this position when my wife died. Until I met Alesha and fell in love, but it ended up like this."
Alex even these last few weeks often spend time busy working, making the mother worried and had said she wanted to match him with the daughter of a business partner.
However, he was very angry and refused outright because he still could not open his heart to other women when he used to give his heart only to Alesha and felt confident that he would be able to have a woman who easily turned away from her.
Even he could see the look of regretful faces shown by the married couple in front of him. "You don't have to feel guilty for me because it seems like it's my destiny."
"I'll focus on taking care of the company first rather than thinking of women who might come back leaving bloodless wounds that are not easy to heal." Alex deliberately revealed something that felt like a heavy stone on his shoulder.
Hope Alesha does not force her to immediately find another woman and give up her love because if she can control her heart, it is impossible to fall like this.
Until a while later, Alex stared at the proposal in the hands of Rafael. "Now it is better to go back to talking about work. Didn't you read it? Or still need to be read again?"
Rafael, who is now getting an ultimatum not to continue his personal problems at the office, is now looking back at the documents in his hand that he had read.
"I can't decide right away because I want to learn it first. Just a quick read. Surely you know that decisions can't be made in a hurry, right?" said Rafael who currently sees Alex nodding his head as a sign of understanding his point.
Moreover, he knew that Alex had already plunged into the company than he was once just a lowly employee and experienced miracles because of his kindness to Aealeasha.
Meanwhile, Alesha who a while ago felt slapped with words from Alex, so that he no longer dared to discuss the man's feelings shown to him.
'Alex is now back cold like the first time I met him when he was a sugar baby when he was heartbroken at the abandonment of his wife who died in an accident.'
Alesha even prayed for the man to live happily and find the right woman and love Alex more than she does.
'May God grant my prayers because I will not be able to live quietly before seeing Alex find her mate. Or do I need to find a soul mate for her? Like I accidentally met with Rafael and did a contract marriage?'
Alesha who was currently busy thinking about her idea, intended to talk about it with her husband later when Alex left the room. Until he saw Alex get up from the sofa and reach out as a farewell.
"alright. I was hoping I'd get some good news from you and agree to give you an injection of funds in my company," said Alex who currently does not want to linger sitting there and see the affection of Alesha and Rafael who made him jealous.
Raphael got up and his wife did the same. He shook Alex's hand. "I'll get you right away."
"thank you. Then, I'll return to the company because there's a lot of work waiting." Then Alex let go of her hand and glanced at Alesha, but did not want to shake hands with the woman.
"May you always be happy, Alesha and don't worry about me because something like this won't make Alex Claire kill herself."
Then he turns around without waiting for a response from Alesha who looks moody and he knows that the woman is being overwhelmed by guilt.
At the very least, he still gained Alesha's attention and did not completely disappear from the woman's heart. As soon as his hand opened the door knob, before stepping out, his voice opened.
"I'll invite you later if you decide to get married again." Then immediately move out of place and step out of the door without looking back again.
He held his chest as he walked towards the elevator. Once inside the door of the iron box, he had several times punched his chest that felt tight and like hard to breathe.
"You can, Alex. You used to feel more than this when your wife died, didn't you? So, something like this will never get you down deeper than the past."
In fact he felt his heartbeat beating very fast beyond the normal limits because it held all the flavors that erupted and gathered into one there.
"Alex is not a weak man. Alex is a man who will never fall into the same hole a second time." Directing her hand to punch the air around her in order to calm her feelings as her mind was always overshadowed by Alesha's beautiful face.
"Alesha, I love you so much" said Alex, who now saw the iron box door in front of him open and walked straight towards the lobby.
Until a while later arrived at the parking lot and got into the car, then immediately drove it leaving the area of the company of men who had seized the woman of love.
Meanwhile, on the top floor of the building, a couple who are currently standing near a giant glass wall and staring down.
It was as if the two were looking at a car coming out of the company area that belonged to none other than Alex who had just left.
Alesha can now feel the hand around her waist is a form of love expression from her husband who always wants to be close to her.
Now, he turned towards the man with the firm jaw and the perfect sculpture. "Darling, don't you have any acquaintance with a business associate of a beautiful woman and definitely as kind-hearted as I am."
Then he immediately laughed because he felt his words were ridiculous for praising himself. Until he felt pain in his cheek because it was pinched by a man who was currently even widened as if laughing at his words.
Raphael was so anxious for his wife that he could stop at nothing to admire and love.
"Basar woman of insincerity! You should have realized before asking me that."
"I've never been close to women because I wasn't interested. So, how could I possibly have known a beautiful and kind-hearted woman like you, dear."
Even he who could see the look of a sad face from Alex, as if to remind him of the incident in the hospital when divorcing Aealeasha in order to unite with Arsenio.
"I was like seeing myself when Alex looked moody when he was heartbroken because of you. I'm really very sorry, but he also has to accept the reality and not continue to fall." Rafael now responds to the wife's plea not to interfere with Alex's personal problems.
"Don't think about setting up Alex because we don't know what's currently in his brain. Moreover, he is a grown man who is much older than me and certainly his mind is much more mature than ours."
Rafael asked the opinion of the wife who is currently silent as if weighing his words. He happened to remember something and immediately pulled out his cell phone from his pocket.
"Bring food into my room because my wife is hungry." Then turned to look at the wife when she heard a voice across the phone what food she wanted to bring.
"What do you want to eat today, honey?"
Alesha who was thinking about Alex, immediately forgot and made him suddenly want to eat something fresh.
"Suddenly I want an ice teller and a rabbit satay, honey." Alesha's face was already sparkling as soon as she imagined the foods she had in mind.
"What's? Rabbit satay? Oh, my God, there you are, baby. I don't know where the seller is, but since this is the first time you have a craving, I'll comply with your request for my son's sake."
Rafael immediately revealed the wife's request to his personal assistant to find food for the wife who was craving unusual food and made her shudder in horror at the thought.
