"What's this?" Revan was so shocked by the file sheet Azkhan threw on his desk. As he raised his face, it was clearly Azkhan who was looking at him coldly with a thick aura of hostility.
"That's the agreement I made. I want to take back all the shares I have planted in your company" he said calmly. But enough to make Revan jump.
How not, Azkhan is the biggest investor. If he pulled it, then it was certain that Revan's company would only stay in name.
"Why are you doing this, Azkhan? What wrong!"
"Curtain, wrong? I think you already know what you're doing wrong, Revan. But if you want to divorce Mia, maybe I'll consider it... "
Revan laughed blandly at that. Staring at Azkhan was in disbelief. "You're doing this just because of Mia? Are you not sane!"
"Take it like that. I'm giving you a choice that will show you who you really are, Revan. I know Mia means nothing to you. You just think of it like shit. I'm willing to put him up and make him the most expensive diamond ever. Mia will be happy with me" Azkhan said so arrogantly.
"You're really out of your mind. So great is Mia giving you satisfaction, that you can take down your own cousin for a bitch like Mia!"
"CLOSED YOUR MOUTH!!" Azkhan clenched his hands. His gaze was so sharp as if he was skinning Revan alive. "Talk again about Mia's ugliness, then I'll make sure it's not just your company that goes bankrupt. But it is also your life that I even made suffer until you expected your own death" Azkhan said with a stern warning.
Revan felt bad. He was confused as to what to do. Facing Azkhan's attitude that seemed very terrible. Never had he seen Azkhan like this. This man usually only showed a sweet and gentle demeanor. Only this time his true nature showed.
"I gave you two choices. Sign the letter, or divorce Mia. You can give me the answer tomorrow." Azkhan immediately left Revan's room. Leaving the man with a huffed feeling deepened.
Revan pulled his hair rough. His breath sounds loud. She did not expect that her own cousin would act like this to her.
'Damn you Mia... You've managed to make your prey crazy! So great your game. You sly serpent!'

Mia glanced at the small clock on her desk. The time has shown at 4 pm. The woman immediately cleaned up all the files and tidied them back up. Considering Revan will be home soon. Never once did Revan go home without seeing Mia welcome him to the door. Although the reception never once meant anything to her husband. But Mia still did it in order to respect and appreciate her husband.
"Where's Zico?" Mia asked one of the orphanage children when she had just walked out of her room.
"He is with Azkhan, he said.
"Azkhan?"
Mia's feeling is not good. He offended the man. Who has been nice to him for the past two years. When Revan is not around, sometimes Azkhan is always ahead to replace the role of father in his son. That's why Zico called him papa.
But it happened last night. Makes Mia unable to think how to deal with the man this time. Of course guilt comes with it. But inevitably, Mia will still meet him.
With slow steps, Mia slowly saw the closeness of the two people. Not having a blood relationship but already like father and son. Even Revan wasn't that close to Zico. Of course it was because Mia did not dare to reveal who Zico was.
"Mama!" pekik Zico when he saw the presence of Mia. Holding a ball in his hand.
Mia smiled awkwardly at the two. Although Mia was not looking towards Azkhan. But he knew that Azkhan had been looking at him meaningfully.
"Dear Zico, we'd better go home now. Revan's dad's coming home soon. Say hello to Papa Azkhan."

Azkhan's feelings were slashed back. It is ironic that he loves a married woman. She thought Mia was a widow so easily she would get. But in reality, Mia is the wife of her own cousin. Who had abandoned them and gave Mia suffering.
"Do you love her, Mia?" Mia turned her head towards him when she heard the question just popping out of Azkhan's mouth. The man's shady gaze made him feel even more uneasy.
"I married him for love. And I think because of the love of my household I will be happy. But it turns out I was wrong. A household exam can make a person change. And if someone has changed then love will change.
And at this time. It is no longer the happiness I seek... Except just the calm. And to get that calm, I beg you to keep my husband feeling not to see me often. That would cause slander in my household."
Although there was no intention to hurt Azkhan through his words. But still the man felt Mia again incised the wound in his heart. Azkhan thinned his lips. A little upset with Mia who can't see how Revan treats her. While here he desperately wants to keep the man's feelings.
"He doesn't deserve all your kindness, Mia. He does not deserve love from you. He deserves everything that is on you. By letting go I'm sure you'll be calm."
"Divorce is not the only solution, Azkhan. We both have shortcomings. And discrepancy should be corrected by mutually reinforcing each other. Covering up a partner's shortcomings is not looking for his or her faults. If only the faults of every couple were sought, then the problems would never end."
Azkhan smiled full of irony. His heart was filled with hearing that word. However it is not Mia's realization that only she thinks so, while Revan himself does not. Her husband was always looking for faults to judge her. Anger and hatred are inherent in Revan only to make Mia suffer.
Azkhan immediately moved on to leave. With a heart that is no longer shaped. Wishing destiny could bring him along with the woman of his heart.
After Azkhan's departure. Mia walked out with Zico. But his steps came to a halt when he saw Revan's presence with his mysterious gaze, walking towards them. I don't know when that guy was there. Mia hoped there would be no debate this time.
"Mas, Revan?"
"I came to pick up my wife... " I don't know why that doesn't sound so good. Because Revan's look was horrible. But Mia did not discuss it and followed the steps of her husband who took her to the car that Revan parked in front of the orphanage.
Mia held tightly to her son's hand. The feeling is not good.
Can't stand the frustration inside him, making Revan start talking when the situation is quiet. Zico hasn't even gotten in the car.
"Are you content to make my life a mess, Mia? Azkhan is doing madness just for your sake!"
"Don't ask me to argue here, Mas. Will attract the attention of many."
"I can't help it! You're a sly woman. Congratulations on succeeding with your goal. You'll be out of my way soon. You're so great!" Revan clapped his hands, as if praising Mia's prowess. But Mia looked at him in confusion.
"I don't understand, what else is this!!"
The two of them end up busy arguing subconsciously Mia's hand grip with her son regardless. Zico was busy with the ball, while the two adults were busy arguing.
Until the moment Zico's ball slipped out of his hand and headed for the highway. The little boy with his chin was chasing the ball.
As the cries of the people around echoed deafeningly. Only Mia and Revan realize that Zico is no longer near them.
BRUUKKKKKK
The sound of the car squealing and the loud noise made Mia directly pointed towards the highway. Where people have been crowded to see who was hit.
Mia ran with all her might. I hope that it's not his son. But whatever the power, it's too late. When Mia broke into the crowd. His eyes were round while glazed. His chest felt tight and shattered. The whole world is now upon his head. Mia's body drooped limp to see her son's blood scattering.
"ZICO..........!!"
