IF LOVE
The If Love 20
"Mr Jack, what if we're friends. More familiar than just a business friend." Darvin said to Jack while they were in the parking lot.
"Wow, that sounds cool. You know I haven't been friends with anyone for a long time whether it's a man or a woman. My old friend's friend is already busy with his own life." Jack eagerly responds to Darvin's proposal.
"Well so I can just call you Jack?" asked Darvin as if he was enthusiastic. He decides to get Zevina back through Jack. Zevina is Jack's secretary and that means Zevina will often be with Jack during business meetings.
"Alright Darvin." Said Jack passionately embracing Darvin's shoulder and punching his chest softly. Darvin chuckles.
"Darv, just call me Darv it'll sound better." Darvin asked Jack to give his short name.
"All right Darv." Jack responded to Darvin's request. The two laughed together.
"alright. I have to go now Jack." Darvin says goodbye to Jack and gets into his car. Then he pulled down his windshield and Jack leaned over and put his hand on Darvin's door.
"You drive yourself?" jack asked a little.
"Yeah, I always drive myself. I don't like being followed except by my lover." Darvin smiled a little.
"Okay." Jack then stood a little away from Darvin's car.
"I'll go Jack. I'll see you later." Pamit Darvin then drove his car away from the building, Jack just waved his hand to drive Darvin away.
Jack decided to return to his room. He wanted to apologize to Vivian and explained that he was just kidding.

"Darling, you're not good at hiding." Gerutu Darvin on the way. Her memories were filled with Zevina. He did not expect the information he got about Zevina to be accurate.
"I won't let you go this time, baby." Further again. He really should be able to get Zevina back to him. Zevina was like her life. When Zevina was not with him, he completely lost his way of life.
#####
"Zevina." Call Jack when he's in his study. He saw Zevina was busy doing her work.
Zevina did not answer. However, he was still upset by Jack's behavior. He just kept quiet and continued his work.
"Zevina." Jack called back. Jack had already stood in front of his desk and knocked on his desk several times. But Zevina still didn't care.
"Zevina." Jack repeated his call with a slight increase in his tone. Zevina looked at Jack furiously.
"What's? You want to fire me because I don't serve you? I'm sorry but I'm not who you think I am. I'm not interested in you let alone your treasures. If you want to fire me, please just go ahead and gladly accept." Ketus Zevina long. It was as if he was venting his emotions at Jack.
He then got out of his seat and was about to leave. Jack quickly restrains her and takes her into his arms.
"Zevina, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you just now. I was just trying to annoy you. There is no intention of harassing you in the slightest. I swear." Jack hugged Zevina tightly. Jack explained to Zevina as if he was explaining to his angry girlfriend.
Zevina did not flinch. He shut up and started to sob. Jack didn't make her angry. But it was the meeting with Darvin that made it so.
Zevina then reciprocates Jack's embrace, more precisely he begins to hit Jack's back as if to vent his pain. Jack thinks that Zevina is angry with him.
"I just want to be happy. I just want to live better." Zevina continued to beat Jack on the back, spilling all his pain.
Jack now realizes he's not who Zevina thinks he is. Jack doesn't know, but he's sure what Zevina has in mind has something to do with the past.
"Crying is Zevina. Cry as much as you are and take all your pain out. Just hit me if it helps you. Think of me as your pain." Jack said as he stroked Zevina's hair.

"Aunty let's hurry." Raina whines and urges her Liz aunty to immediately escort her to her father's company.
"Oh my goodness Raina. How can aunty be quick. You suddenly talked about this to aunty." Liz's grumbling is upset with Raina.
She was busy doing her job, and Raina was studying with her private tutor. But after he finished he immediately asked Liz to deliver herself to Jack's company.
"Aunty is too long. Let's hurry." Raina whined again.
"Raina shut up. Shut up and be patient or aunty won't take you away at all." Liz said firmly to Raina.
Raina finally shut up and complied. He knew his Liz aunty was a person who did not like to be refuted let alone about something that was true.
"Come on." Said Liz grabbing Raina's hand after she finished packing her goods.
Raina followed Liz's steps while shaking Liz's hand. Liz shook her head to look at her nephew's behavior. After they are in the car, Liz drives her car to Jack's company.
"Thank you aunty, you're dropping me off." Raina said excitedly as they were on their way.
"yeah. If aunty can tell, what makes you excited to come to your Daddy's company?" ask Liz curiously.
"Aunty will know when it's here." Raina stared at Liz. Liz just nodded slowly.
They arrived soon. After parking the car properly, Liz took Raina to get in. They do not have to bother dealing with receptionists because they are already known.
They took a special elevator to Jack's room. As he exits the elevator, Kerr meets Rick, Jack's assistant.
"Uncle Rick." Raina yelled excitedly, then ran over and approached Rick. Rick grabbed her in a sling.
"Is she the reason Raina's excited to be here?" liz asked inwardly as she walked up to them.
"Uncle where is Mommy?" asked Raina curiously.
"Mommy?" inner Liz was curious.
"In there of course." Rick said, pointing to Jack's room.
"Okay. Thank you uncle Rick." Raina kissed Rick on the cheek, and asked Rick to lower it. After that he immediately ran into the room his father left Liz and Rick.
"Hi, how are you?" Rick greets Liz awkwardly.
"Good." Liz said as she was and left Rick. Rick could only scratch the back of his head that was not itchy.
Inside Jack's room, Liz is shocked to see Raina sitting spoiled on Zevina's lap. He slightly does not accept if Raina began to love other women besides her late sister who incidentally is Raina's biological mother.
But he cannot be selfish. Because Raina was very small when her mother left, Raina had not even had time to know what her birth mother looks like other than through photos.
"Aunty, this is my Mommy." Raina called Liz over.
Liz just smiled walking closer to them.
"Hey. I'm Liz." Said Liz extending her hand to shake with Zevina.
"Zevina." Zevina welcomed Liz's hand. Zevina stared unkindly at Liz as if herself was a nuisance to Jack's small family harmony.
"Don't misunderstand me. I'm Raina's aunty and her late Mommy Raina is my older sister." Liz explained as she looked at the discomfort from Zevina.
Zevina breathed a sigh of relief. Raina then pulled her to sit back. Jack just kept quiet watching them.
Liz decides to walk towards the mini fridge in Jack's corner and reach for a bottle of cold mineral water. He opened the bottle and drank it up to half while walking and sitting in a chair in front of Jack's desk.
"Sister Jack, is she your woman of choice?" ask Liz to relax.
"Not me. I don't know what my next relationship is with her. But Raina likes her a lot." Jack explained. Liz simply nodded in understanding with Jack's explanation.
