20. The Tormenting Meeting

"I represent the board thank you to you because the rumors that had troubled the company have now died down!"

"True, it's not wrong we entrust the position of CEO to the father, this way I think our project can keep running without any obstacles!"

"Thank you for the trust of the council!"

"Mhh, heh'hehh!" Mr. Redan gave a small nod of chuckles at the video footage that Rama managed to record in silence while in the meeting room.

"This kid is always good at fixing situations!" The coldness next emitted a sour face.

"What's papa's next plan?" Rama asked who was sitting with him in the room of the prisoner.

"Don't rush! Wait for it to calm down, let him feel at the peak and we start to plan!" Reply Mr. Redan looked at his son.

The two stared at each other, compactly displaying a sly smile preparing to compose the next strategy.

As Aluna and Helen walk down the steps of the main door of the restaurant, she accidentally runs into Arlan who happens to come to pick up Nindia.

For the first time in 2 months after the divorce, they finally met and met face to face that afternoon.

Slowly Aluna stopped her steps when she saw Arlan's figure in a black suit who was seen wearing a flat face but did not remove the impression of his authority.

Aluna looked at the man who was now her ex-husband who was also staring at her. His entire body shook again, his throat choked. There was a sense of happiness mixed with pain enveloping the moment.

Likewise with Arlan who was staring in the face of Aluna who looked a little pale and skinny. His heart trembled at the figure of the woman he still loved, on the one hand a sense of happiness enveloped because it had been near him, but on the other hand the pain appeared when he realized the distance between them.

Arlan trembled a little, could it be that Aluna is currently not doing well? looking at his stature that looked slightly different from before. Or maybe he's under a lot of pressure? by looking at the condition of his face and body that is thinner.

The two clashed in gazes for a while, there was a deep sense of longing between them. However, despite being that close, the distance between them was large enough to tell a deep pain.

Arlan slightly squinted his eyes holding a pain in both of his eyes. Arlan clenched both his hands tightly, it was hard for him to stem the longing for Aluna.

"Darling?" Sahut Nindia with a spoiled voice seemed to show off immediately surprised the two.

Arlan spontaneously turned his gaze towards Nindia who was walking down the stairs approaching her, Nindia holding Arlan's left arm was struggling spoiled.

Aluna squinted her eyes at Arlan and Nindi alternately then looked at Nindia's arm that was coiled spoiled in Arlan's arm.

Instantly the tense atmosphere between them, even Helen who watched felt the temperature around felt colder.

Aluna clenched her hands together, her heart churned with restraining emotion at Nindia's behavior, while Arlan just stood without a sound.

"Darling we're home now! Our baby needs a break!" Continue while stroking his flat stomach.

Aluna clenched her teeth holding back the pain in her eyes that began to turn red. So they're really going to have kids! If Arlan had known that in his stomach there was also his son, would his attitude have changed?

Aluna swallowed the saliva that feels bitter, she chose to keep her pregnancy silent in fear of endangering the condition of the baby in her stomach especially after knowing what the original nature of Nindia looks like, he might even be more rotten than he currently looks.

"Don't be too showy, seizing the rights of others won't last long!" Helen's voice suddenly made Nindia look at him sourly.

Arlan frowned slightly confused at Helen's remark then glanced at Nindia who was still hugging her arm.

"What do you mean snatch? Nindia replies coldly, "Sir Aluna and Arlan are divorced, and now I'm pregnant with her child!" The next thing was full of emphasis on looking hard at Helen.

"You think you're the ham, you,,,!"

"Helen!" Cut Aluna to stop the words of Helen who almost leaked her pregnancy while holding her best friend's arm.

Arlan and Nindia frowned slightly curious as to what Helen was about to say earlier.

Aluna held Helen's hand in a state of trembling and Helen could feel, even she could feel the coldness of Aluna's palm at that time.

Helen glanced at Aluna's pale, trembling face trying to suppress the emotions in her heart.

"Let's go, there's still a lot more important work to do!" Invite Aluna to pull Helen to leave them.

Helen stared intently at Nindia before leaving, while the one who was stared at raised both eyebrows then smiled cunningly in their footsteps.

Arlan looks at the back of Aluna who entered Helen's car, he is very confident that Aluna's current feelings for him are still the same as her who still loves him.

Aluna shook her head to see the behavior of her best friend "Have, don't have to continue!" Aluna's voice made Helen frown at him.

"Aluna, a person like him should be taught a lesson!" Ketus.

"Not that, I mean the knife!" Reply Aluna pointed at the tissue wrap that had been torn apart by him.

"Hhhh!" Helen rounded her eyes to see pieces of tissue scattered on her desk until flying to the floor.

"Se, how much is this?" He asked stammered - the brick did not expect him to do while pointing at the piece of tissue in front of him.

"Eum!" Aluna nodded "It's still there!" Continue pointing to the long tables and sofas in the middle of their workspace, which are also filled with pieces - cut tissue.

Helen had just realized the result of her actions she had spent 2 packs of tissue and everything scattered filled almost half of her room.

Helen was a fashionable woman, a little temperament compared to Aluna, fair-skinned and quite sweet. Having emotions that sometimes explode without knowing the place, like to tear or tear something if you are angry such as tissue, paper or soft objects. But always devastated when dealing with Aluna also always be a protector for him since they knew in college. On the bright side he's a loyal friend and lace heart.

That night, Arlan was alone in his private workspace. With a face that looks gloomy, his gaze is sad staring at the picture frame of his marriage with Aluna, they have been divorced for 2 months and since then half of his happiness has disappeared.

The sharpener always looks flat and more serious, especially when in a work environment. Slowly put the frame into a drawer and take out a golden ring.

Both corners of her eyes were reddened and sullen looking at her wedding ring with Aluna. His heart ached to realize that they were no longer a married couple, Arlan never intended to remove Aluna in his life.

He was determined, if he was with Aluna already could not unite in this life, then there would still be room for Aluna in his heart that he would bring to death though.

Arlan massaged both corners of his eyes that felt sore, then put the ring back in the drawer before locking it tightly.

Meanwhile, Aluna herself sat pensively on the mattress while hugging her knees.

"Of course, I no longer need to always pretend to be good to my half-brother, and everyone already knows that I am now the only son-in-law of Lord Vijaya's family!"

"No will! She cannot bear children, while I am now pregnant with the first heir of the Wijaya family!"

Nindia's words again fluttered in her eyes, her heart ached to recall the incident earlier that afternoon especially when she saw Nindia hugging spoiled Arlan.

There was jealousy, resentment mixed with sadness enveloping. It feels quite agonizing to see the figure who is missed and he loves being close to him, but let alone hugging even to stare for a long time - he is no longer entitled.

Even now that Nindia was pregnant, it meant that she had no hope for Arlan anymore. He could only shut up and enjoy each day as Arlan slowly erased about him in this life.

His eyes glistened feeling the turmoil within his chest, even his throbbing head almost exploded and drove him crazy. The room temperature feels cooler, and feels narrow to squeeze his small body.

"Hhhhhhhhhhh!!!" Sighing held the pain in both eyes so as not to return to shed tears.

Aluna clenched her teeth straightened her head, then moved from the mattress directly sitting on the sofa that was still in her room.

He should not be weak and too long dissolved in his past memories. Aluna started picking up an HVS paper as well as a pencil. Slowly began to scratch his pencil on the paper trying to draw something.

But it was difficult for him so he chose to squeeze the paper and throw it away, then took back a piece of paper and returned to drawing.

The first, second, third and fourth trials are still the same, until the fifth experiment actually makes him more depressed.

Both corners of his eyes began to drip clear circles slowly wetting his cheeks, the stairs trembled until it became more difficult to concentrate and in the end he scribbled the paper violently.

"hiks. hiks. hix." A little squash from him started to sound as he continued to scribble the rough paper "hiks! hyx! hyks!" His wife alone adorned his room.

Aluna was upset and angry with herself for not being able to hold back her tears for the umpteenth time. I don't know how much he has spent and I don't know when he will continue like this!

Seriate...
