Lying Above Love
Good Signal though
The time was so short for Austin to be able to meet his father because of the limited time by the prison then of course Austin could not linger there. After he finished visiting his father from prison, Austin felt more relieved, at least he could complain with his father. Austin himself has also begun to forgive what Sutikno has done who had an affair with many women in
past and present Austin so think of his hatred for the mother who until now still not subsided.
“Is it time for me to forgive mama?”
Austin shook his head, he did not want to think too much about it and chose to leave the place immediately. Austin took a deep breath all the way to the office because he had permission to arrive late to the office to visit his father in prison. When he arrived at the office, he accidentally met his mother who seemed to have just arrived from somewhere, he did not see any reporters in the lobby like what had happened in the past few days, not even outside the fence of the office there was a single journalist there. Belinda glanced at Austin before she stepped her foot inside
in the office, Austin himself did not feel sad or disappointed with Belinda's attitude as it was because he thought it was much better, he did not want to be reprimanded or called during working hours like this. After finishing
at work, Austin was about to go home to the apartment but his cell phone rang and when he saw who the person who called was his sister.
“Why did you call me?”
“Where are we now?”
“I just got home from the office, why?”
“Can we meet for a minute? I'll send you the location where we met.”
“Good.”
Not long after Chelsea sent a location to Austin, without wasting much time soon Austin to the location that Chelsea had sent.

Chelsea are already waiting for the arrival of Austin in this restaurant, Austin himself went straight to the table where Chelsea who had been waiting for him since, he sat down with his sister and asked her why Chelsea asked him to talk here.
“Did Brother have dinner?”
“No, I haven't had dinner.”
“Then, let's talk over dinner.”
Chelsea called the waiter to come to their table, Chelsea and Austin mentioned their respective orders before the waiter recorded all his second orders and left their table.
“So what's up?”
Chelsea said that the reason he invited Austin here was to talk about their mother's relationship with Hanggara. Chelsea said that he had met with Hanggara and talked about this, Chelsea felt that he would not hinder the relationship between their mother and Hanggara. What Chelsea said surprised Austin.
“So you will accept om Hanggara as your new girlfriend so? If om Hanggara so papa connect us how? I don't want to take it.”
“I think so far mama has sacrificed a lot for us, mama has been covering the secret of papa who always plays fire with other women from the media but unfortunately instead mama was tempted by om
Hanggara who is papa's own sister. To be honest I myself am sad and disappointed with all that, but I do not want to hinder their happiness, Brother.”

Hanggara goes to meet Najwa at a restaurant after he finishes work, Najwa calls him and asks him to meet and Hanggara also wants to tell this woman about what it is
feel for Belinda. Najwa himself had come to the restaurant when Hanggara came, without wasting time Hanggara said he wanted to say honesty to Najwa.
“Do you want to say that you like your former sister-in-law?”
“Where did you know about this?”
“It is not important at all, how can you love him?”
“It's none of your business either, it's good that you already know about it. The main reason I want to do all this is my mama, my mama so disagree with my relationship with Belinda when I love her.”
“During this time you are in a relationship with your ex-sister-in-law, of course what your mama said is not wrong, I understand why she does not agree and disappointed when she knows the relationship between you two.”
“Then what are you going to do now? I heard you two broke up, right?”

Sundari the next day Najwa arrived at his house, Sundari invited his son-in-law to sit on the sofa in the living room. Sundari offers Najwa to drink but Najwa refuses and says
that he won't linger here.
“So why did you come here? Is there anything important?”
“Iya Aunty, there is something important and I want to ask this directly to Aunt.”
“What do you want to ask? Looks like this is a serious thing, huh?”
“Yes, indeed this is a serious matter and I hope Aunt answered him honestly.”
“What is it, Nak?”
“Did Hanggara actually have a relationship with his former sister-in-law?”
Sundari was surprised not to play with the question asked by Najwa just now, he asked where Najwa knew the news from but the woman did not want to tell Sundari he heard the news from where.
“So is what I asked right?”
“Of course not, currently Hanggara is not in a relationship with anyone.”
“But I met Hanggara yesterday and he said that he only loves that woman.”
“You do not need to listen to what Hanggara said, he does like to carelessly talk.”
“Tante, it looks like I can't continue this matchmaking.”
“Why can't you continue, Son?”
“I can't Auntie, I'm sorry.”

Belinda was surprised when she found Hanggara calling her, it had been a long time since the man had not contacted her even they themselves had not spoken long enough and asked each other.
“Why did he call me, huh?”
Belinda did not answer the phone directly from Hanggara but she was still staring at the screen of her phone for a while until finally Belinda then answered the phone from Hanggara.
“Halo?”
“Hai, how are you?”
“Good, you yourself?”
“That's how, by the way is tomorrow you have an event?”
“Why are you asking that?”
“Tomorrow if you have no event, I will come to your house to talk to you about something.”
“Something what? I don't think there's anything else we need to talk about right now. If there is something you want to talk about, can we talk about it over the phone?”
