Married Little Princess Bestie
42. The Inner Dilemma of a Riswan

"I know you may still love Rhea, and well, this opportunity shouldn't just pass you by. I also understand that you have been waiting for this moment for so long. But..."

"I have no intention of leaving Binar, Tria, for God's sake" Riswan assures, before doubts get around Tria's recesses more.

Riswan had finished reading Tria's body language, and he was sure that something was wrong with him. And whatever the problem that befell, Riswan is more than convinced that he is the culprit of the problem. Yes, his best friend's household has been completely destroyed.

The only thing Riswan could give was a firm statement. A reassurance that calms, and fosters a sense of trust in each party.

Tria smiled warmly, "Sounds sincere, Riswan."

"I uphold the sanctity of my marriage, Tria, regardless of whether you believe it or not."

The woman nodded her head. He seemed to take a hard breath, then exhaled it rough without consideration. Riswan also realized, since a few seconds ago Tria insisted on holding back tears. Tria just clenched her lips tight.

"Even if my actions are not worth clarifying, but marrying Binar is a decision that I have considered carefully" continued Riswan.

Once again Tria breathes air, stealing all the oxygen that surrounds them. The woman tried to pull the corners of her lips wider. Didn't leave a sliver of Riswan's eye.

"I believe you, Riswan. I'm on your side now."

***

The meeting with Tria a little bit has added to Riswan's confidence level. At least, in this context, Tria did not pressure Riswan to divorce Binar. However, Riswan still needs to find a way out. A real proof that confirms that his romantic photo with Rhea is just a charade.

"Have you tried calling Rhea?" riswan asked Adrian who was busy looking at the smart phone.

The man had been nauseous thinking about Wangsa Group all day, and the additional tasks of Riswan successfully added to the fatigue. Adrian appears to be massaging his temples briefly, before voicing a heavy snort. The man simply threw a glance without commenting.

"What does that mean?" sahut Riswan was indifferent as he took a position at the desk, "I am not a fortune teller or a body language expert who could pin down that gaze, Adrian. So how's it going? There's no picture yet of who's spreading fake news about me and Rhea?"

"Seriously want you to take it to the realm of law?" adrian gamang sahut. His tone of hesitation sounded.

Realizing this, Riswan stopped the activity, devoting all attention to Adrian. With all his suspicion, Riswan narrowed his eyes, "Who is it?" his insistence.

It was clearly hinting that Adrian had found the main culprit. But who? Why did the strange question come from Adrian?

"Nad."

One short answer without drama or pleasantries.

Of course, Riswan denies. The man who had frozen for a few seconds immediately stirred up a streak of laughter. He made the whole room fall into a shoulder, just before throwing another look at Adrian.

"Impossible. I just met Tria and she didn't mention anything about my and Rhea's pictures, '" she said.

"That's a fact, Riswan. Just think about why Tria came to see you all of a sudden. Why would he suddenly want to bless you so easily? Don't you feel any awkwardness at all?"

Makes sense. Riswan who found the common thread between Tria's speech and the fact fell silent again. It's very likely to happen, right? So, why did Tria change course in favor of her? Or maybe, all the effort is part of the manipulation that has been planned?

"It's not just that, the Sean you worked for for Binar was also the result of Ned's intervention to damage your household. I'm not sure Tria was involved, but I believe she knew her husband well" Adrian explained.

Riswan linked his fingers. He leaned his elbow on the table, throwing away the blank stare that wandered somewhere. The confidence he had just gained was lost instantly. Turned into a collection of dilemmas that are difficult to digest.

Can Tria be trusted? The question also came to his mind. How much is the Tria percentage rate on his side? And again, could it be that Tria also harbored a plan? The set of ideas that the woman wants to realize is beyond the control of Ned Alvero and the Darmawangsa family.

The snort that was no less long was again heard, Riswan leaned his body on the back of the chair for a moment.

"Is Rhea not involved at all?" that assumption he made to Adrian, "Didn't you find a connection between Rhea and Tria?"

"Only one meeting. So far Rhea hasn't done any movement either," explained Adrian straightforwardly, "And maybe it's good that you talk well with Rhea. Something you need to solve said this second you're not married."

"To add to the misunderstanding of Binar? No, thanks for the advice."

"Regardless of you still love her or not. He had a hard time loving you alone. I know you're also living in misery after learning Greg's grandfather's actions toward him, but wouldn't it get worse if it was all hidden as if it never existed?"

Adrian hung up his sentence for a moment. Reading Riswan's countenance seriously considered his words. "We never know how deep the human heart is, Riswan. Revenge, hate, wrath, all too abstract to be weeded out at a glance. Rhea had a reason to do it."

"And because it is impossible to control him, at least we have the ability to control the things that our hearts want to solve. Talk to Rhea, Riswan, as if you were a bachelor who loved her very much."

"Keep the rest?" chirping Riswan after a long silence, "My priority right now is Binar and my marriage, Adrian. This mess is not going to end with just me talking to Rhea!"

"Rhea will keep haunting you, Riswan!" adrian objected persistently to maintain the opinion, "If not in the form of love, then similar suspicions that will never be extinguished in the recesses of Binar. As ever, that woman will be overshadowed by your past unilaterally. Then expand it in the head, as if he is an obstacle to the love of you two!"

"Who would want to keep that marriage, Riswan? That's right!" adrian's hatch ends his long pedal.

Rising from his seat, Adrian devotes a look at Riswan who is shrouded in chaos. The burden of the man's mind clearly increased many times over. How could Riswan dare to resolve the matter out loud? Too many wounds that Riswan toreh had on Rhea.

The dark past. Memories that even want to be removed from the tissue of cells in the head. Riswan again drifted in silence, with an eye tail that was not as thin as moving from Adrian.

"I'll find out more about Ned and Tria, as well as Sean, or Greg if necessary. But please think about my assumptions. None of this will ever be finished if you fail to finish what's inside you completely."

That sentence ended their heated debate. Imprisoning Riswan in a past wound that he deliberately buried deep. The man pondered long, presenting new questions that were harder to answer.

Rhea, can Riswan finish his dark time with the woman honestly and openly? What does Riswan want? If not love, why did he run away and act like nothing happened?
