I don't know how many times Adrian glanced at Binar. The man hesitated to choose a word. Afraid that the woman beside him would bark. Especially after a heated argument with Riswan.
Binar also realized Adrian's concerns. In any case, this atmosphere suffocated the two of them all the way home. Although Binar's brain had never thought of Riswan, who decided to stay for Rhea's sake.
"Pak Adrian also knows Rhea?" tanya Binar broke the silence.
The plane is above the altitude. The business class that only inhabited the two of them made Adrian immediately hear the soft voice of Binar.
As he chuckled lightly Adrian replied, "To know."
"What is their relationship?" The barar persistently asked.
"Uhmmm.." murmured Adrian very carefully before speaking, "Like a pair of lovers in general, Binar. They were very young at the time."
"What does Adrian think is the same? They still love each other until now."
Adrian's bitter smile incarnated, "Maybe," he said as he looked at the clouds from the window, "But Riswan is not the type to betray his decision, Binar."
"Any love he had with Rhea, though it was hard to forget and so eager to re-establish romance. Riswan is firm on the decision that has been made," explained Adrian at length.
The man was more than just getting to know Riswan.
"Even if the decision is unanimous, doesn't it mean that Riswan's uncle betrayed him? We also don't know for sure until when uncle can hold back from Rhea."
"Why is it so hard to trust Riswan?"
Binar sighed softly, looking at her distended stomach, "Where can I believe it? Uncle's always gray against our marriage."
Their conversation was interrupted. In the end they concern themselves with activities. Adrian with a job, and Binar exploring the clouds while getting around the music that is friendly.
He thought of nothing, except Riswan Darmawangsa.

"Guide me here, Riswan. Stay" said Rhea as she reached for Riswan's fingers standing before her.
The woman made her lips look pale. Acting limp, as if dying. Her eyes glared at Riswan melas, with a made-up soft voice.
"I promise I'll eat more" he added, "I can't live without you, Riswan, don't leave now."
Riswan brushed off Rhea's hand. The man sat down in front of the woman and offered her a set of cutlery. His gaze was captivated at Rhea who was only paying attention, he voiced out later.
"Eat. The doctor says you're short of intake" Riswan says, "I'll stay with you until you finish."
Rhea fell silent. He stared at the food and Riswan took turns. The man insisted on leaving Borneo. For unreasonable business reasons.
"You still love me, don't you?" ask Rhea directly at the point.
Even the treatment and attention of Riswan was unable to dodge it. The man has not changed at all. Treating Rhea like she was still a soulmate.
"Answer, Riswan. Do I feel wrong?" urge Rhea to ask for answers.
Riswan immediately turned his eyes. His heavy breathing became a single sound that filled the room.
"Why not come back to me and tell me the real story?" sahut Riswan asked back, "Instead of marrying a lot of men, why not just go home to me?"
"What can you do?" tukas Rhea without pause. While talking about the past, they need to straighten things out.
Riswan was silent for a moment. Rhea was right, what could Riswan be? Against Greg Darmawangsa for the sake of women? Where can?
"If that time I come to you, Riswan. You can what? We both know how strong Greg Darmawangsa is. How can you fight it just for love?"
"We can at least find a way out together," Riswan replied as he dragged his tail to Rhea, "We still have a chance to fight, not hurt each other just because of misunderstanding."
"So you mean there's no chance now?" Rhea demands certainty. He wanted Riswan, just one statement he was able to defeat the plan.
"You love me, Riswan, and that's a fact."
"Do you love me too?"
"Of course."
"Do you love me with the same love?"
Rhea's turn to allow silence incarnates, "Love is not something that changes easily, Riswan. You know exactly why."
"I'm a female player, Rhea."
"I know, ever since that failed engagement, right? It's obvious you love me and vent everything on ******. We still have a chance, Riswan. We can start from the beginning."
Riswan's smile expands bland. The long words spoken by Rhea crammed into his head. Why does it all sound so easy?
"Start from the beginning?" ringis his smile became wry instantly, "Which beginning? When we first started dating, or got engaged?"
Rhea's eyes glazed over. He took the back of Riswan's hand lying on the table. The soft elusan he landed, meraya explained the tone of speech.
"Whatever you come from, Riswan, I'm ready."
This time Riswan did not pull it off. Letting the woman's thumb stroke the back of her hand slowly. They drift in silence that acquires the world. Tightness touches the soul.
"I love you, Rhea, very much so. You have a space in my heart that I would never allow another woman in the universe to touch. You're right, you're always the winner" Riswan said in a single breath. Make their irises interlocked deep.
"But I'm a female player" he added.
"I don't mind, Riswan. Even if you fuck thousands of ******, I swear I can accept you completely. My love never changes. So let's get back together, "pinta Rhea with flooded tears drenched her cheeks.
Again the strange smile of Riswan expands. Body language that Rhea is unable to translate. Until Riswan's fingers returned Rhea's touch, the man clasped the back of Rhea's hand with the palm of his hand.
"I'm afraid I'll mind."
One sentence from Riswan was making Rhea's eyeballs round. The corner of Riswan's lips was pulled wider.
"I'm not going to play around with marriage like you do, Rhea. Playing women is not the same as playing with marriage."
With her mouth involuntarily open, Rhea tried to find the earnestness of Riswan's words. The man looked calm. Clarify his face with confidence.
"If indeed your love for me is still the same, not fruitful since we first dated, then..." Riswan deliberately hung his sentence in the air. Inhaling her breath and exhaling it with difficulty.
The other palms clasped Rhea's hands, just before the sentence continued, "Please celebrate my marriage as I gave up your other four marriages."
Rhea's voice was stuck in her throat. Riswan's exposure wasn't part of his plan to make the scene faint. Rhea deliberately seduced them to make love soon. Re-grow the desire without the distraction of a Binar.
Vain. Riswan's tight grip made him even more speechless. Moreover, Riswan's eye wrapped in glass looks cracked to form a clear grain that spreads.
"No chance, Rhea. We are no longer the beginning, but the end of a failed love story."
After putting that sentence down, Riswan moved on. The man stared fixedly at Rhea before taking a step from the room. But unexpectedly, Rhea who was reluctant to give up on the rejection followed suit.
Hugged Riswan from behind tightly.
Rhea leaned her cheek on Riswan's back. Holding back the writh of Riswan who was trying to escape from there. Rhea hooked her two hands tightly, in order for her arm to fail to be brushed aside by Riswan.
"I swear I won't play games with our marriage" she said. Riswan could even feel the woman's tears wetting her back.
But Riswan's strength is much stronger. The man forcibly pulled himself from Rhea's arms. He turned around while distancing himself.
"And I swore an oath to protect my marriage to Binar. We can't be together, Rhea, and that's a fact."
Riswan after leaving the room.
