In her room, as usual Lara looks back to work completing her tasks as a marketing director. Although he is still in a sad mood because of the incident of a house fire that hit him yesterday, but nevertheless he must remain professional at work. The woman seemed to be scraping the pen in her hand onto every file she had to revise and observe. On the sidelines of her work, Lara is often seen glancing at her cellphone, in the hope that there is a call or just a short message from the husband, considering that since this morning Lara has not seen the figure of her husband.
After several hours of glued to the papers, Lara finally began to feel tired and tired. He immediately leaned back in the chair while massaging his own temple and sighed.
"What time is it?" Lara who has been focusing on work has forgotten time. He then looked at the digital clock on his desk where the time had shown at 11.35 am.
"Would have gone in for lunch."
Lara immediately grabbed her phone and looked at the list of incoming messages and calls. Judging from all the call lists and messages that went to her number, there was not a single reply from Vander, even though Lara had sent dozens of messages to her husband. As a result, the woman immediately put on a gloomy and disappointed face.
"Why didn't he send me a reply or call me? Did he forget his wife?" Lara felt irritated by herself.
Before long Lara's phone rang, with enthusiasm Lara immediately grabbed her phone and hoped if the incoming call was from her beloved husband. But unfortunately, his enthusiasm immediately faded as he stared at the phone screen and it turned out that the call was not from Vander but Jeden.
"Yes, Mr. Jeden, what's wrong?"
...
"Well, I'll bring the file to your room soon."
After turning off her call, Lara, who looked disappointed, immediately got up from her chair, and hurried to meet Jeden in her room.
The bell in Jeden's room rang. He who already knew that it must be Lara, also immediately told him to come in.
Lara entered Jeden's room with the documents requested by Jeden on the phone.
"Please sit down" said the man, whose hair is now slightly shaggy.
If you look around Jeden is handsome just his nature for Lara is really annoying.
After sitting down and facing Jeden, Lara immediately handed the file to her boss. "This is the file document you asked for."
"Thank you," Jeden immediately checked it and signed it immediately. Suddenly the atmosphere was silent, Lara herself even seemed to be contemplating thinking of something. Realizing that Jeden also immediately disperse the daydreams of Lara instantly with her sound of darkness.
"Ah Mr. Jeden have you signed?"
"Already,"
"Then I'm—"
"Lara wait!"
Lara who just wanted to get out of the chair immediately sat down again.
"Yes, what else is it, sir?" Speak with intonation that is not as firm as usual. Jeden became worried, plus he saw Lara at this time also looked lethargic.
"Oh yes Lara, I'm sorry for what happened to you yesterday. You must have been devastated to see your family's estate burned to the ground."
The look in Lara's eyes clearly showed that she was still sad, but she decided not to be too washed away with her sadness.
"Thank you Jed for your concern. It does give me a heavy blow, but how else does life go on for too long sad is also pointless."
Jeden nodded proudly at Lara's reply. "Lara, if you need help just tell me not to sport. We have known him for a long time."
The woman smiled blandly. "Thank you for caring about me. It turns out that your good nature is still left, I'm glad to know."
"Here you go, I don't want to talk about the past. After all, the fact is that you are now the legitimate CEO of Miracle, and I am your subordinate. So we better be professional."
"Yes you're right. Oh, Lara, have you eaten?"
"Yes, I had breakfast at home." Lara had breakfast with Vander's toast this morning.
"You look lethargic today are you okay Lara?"
The woman smiled blandly. "Yes I'm fine, probably just still in a state of shock and shock over yesterday's fire."
"If you are still sad and uncomfortable, you can take a few days off I have no problem at all" Jeden suggested.
Unfortunately Lara immediately rejected Jeden's proposal, he did not want to be stamped as a spoiled and careless employee just because he knew Jeden.
"You don't have to be afraid, I'll take responsibility myself. So there will be no employees who dare to say things to you," concluded Jeden so that Lara does not have to worry.
"Thank you for the offer, but I'm really okay! Um— if there is nothing else to talk about, I'm sorry to go back to my room yes," concluded Lara who had stood up and turned around to leave.
"Well!" Jeden.
"Yes?" Lara turned body. "There's another Mr Jeden?"
"Um— take care of your health."
Lara then smiled a little. "Thank you for your concern Jed, I'll excuse you."
Jeden clenched his hand and then smacked it on the table. "Sial, even though I was going to apologize about my previous treatment that had forced him and was rude. But why didn't I say it!?"
Recalling Lara who had looked lethargic, immediately Jeden's gaze turned angry. He immediately thought that Vander was not good at looking after his own wife. "That's why he can't take care of his wife!" If Lara continues to do so, Jeden who in the last few days began to think of releasing Lara suddenly changed so he wanted to seize it again from Van. "Look! If Lara gets saddened by that fucking asshole, I won't stay put."
**
Lara, who had returned to her room, again immediately checked her phone to check, whether there was a message or a call from her husband. It turns out that until now Vander has not called, even sent him a message.
"It looks like Vander is really busy today. Never mind, as an understanding wife I must not bother her and must trust her." Even though her lips said so, it was actually Lara's feeling to say the opposite. Right now he is just trying to dispel his prejudices.
**
The day turns night, Lara is seen sitting in front of the dining table above which has been filled with dinner menu that he has cooked. Lara patiently continued to wait for her husband to come home, so because he was so long waiting, he even fell asleep at the dinner table.
"Jeez, I fell asleep! What time is it?" Lara looked directly at the wall clock that now showed at 11:30 p.m. He immediately checked his phone hoping that maybe Vander called but he did not hear because of sleep. But again the hope was broken immediately when he knew on his phone there was no call or message from the husband. And for the umpteenth time Lara sent a message back to Vander. He could see that the status of his message since this morning had not been read by Vander at all. "Is that how busy he is?" Think Lara.
The woman suddenly got out of the chair and walked towards the window of her apartment. Lara opened the big curtain that covered the window glass. He immediately hit the starless sky from behind the glass window of his apartment. Lara's gaze looked sad, her eyes twinkling showing a misty longing in the silent cold.
"Vander where are you? You must be busy, right? I promise I won't bother you, but you have to promise me you'll be back soon. I miss you Vander."
Anyone who heard her knew that Lara was saying those words as if she was comforting her now alone, longing, and waiting with no clarity as to when her husband would return.
