Brian locked himself in the room. He even ignored the calls and knocking on the door from the outside. His father's words always ring in his head.
"Don't be a badass guy, Brian. If you love Vera and want her you should be able to refrain from tarnishing Shavana."
Brian dared to swear if there was not the slightest intention to betray Vera let alone tarnish Shavana. All this was a disaster for him.
While still pensive suddenly his phone rang making the man immediately see who contacted him. Disappointed look on Brian's face because the one who contacted him is not someone he is waiting for.
He lazily answered the phone call.
"Hello."
"Don't you know yet if Vera wants to go to London?" ask Ken from the phone.
"What! To London?!" Brian was surprised not to play. He even straightened his body that was lying down.
Since then he has been in contact with Vera to explain this misunderstanding. He didn't betray Vera. He also wants Vera to give him a second chance to continue their relationship but his phone call has no answer at all.
"Look at your reaction you don't know yet" said Ken.
"Yes I don't know yet. When he left, why did you just tell me?!" brian asked a little angry at his best friend.
"Sorry I also just found out so new ngabarin you. Three hours from the plane, take off, Ian. Now he is still in the apartment again rest after crying because of failing marriage equally you. You don't want him to go hunting dateng."
"Gue get there now."
Brian immediately turned off the phone and rushed out of the room. He doesn't care if his father forbids him from meeting Vera. He would still meet the girl and prevent her from going to London.
Frightened that Vera was leaving, Brian even went down the stairs in a hurry. Sometimes his legs are misplaced and almost fall. Shavana who was carrying a glass was about to climb the stairs just passed by him as if invisible to him
Luckily until Brian came out of the house he did not meet his father so there was no such debate.
"Where's Brian going?" muttered Shavana who saw her husband hurriedly leave.
"Who's going where?" ask Larissa who just came down the stairs. He had heard the sound of the door closing loudly making himself who was watching TV in the family room disturbed.
"Mas Brian Bukde," said Shavana staring at the open main door. From there he could see if Brian's car was walking out the gate of the house.
"Brian? The boy really is yes." Larissa pinched her head which felt throbbing pain. Today was a day that really drained his mind because of his son.
"Did Brian want to see Vera, Bukde?" shavana asked Larissa.
Larissa looked at the niece who was now her son-in-law. He hugged the little body and then rubbed his back.
"I'm sorry Brian is Shava. You've been tainted but Brian is still chasing other women" Larissa said.
"Nothing Bukde. I'm fine" said Shavana.
Shavana is okay. He is fine Brian is still chasing Vera because he realizes he is the cause of lovers who love each other failed to marry even though the word fine does not apply to his heart.
Larissa unraveled her embrace. He knows Shavana's a good girl but he doesn't want Brian to use his kindness to keep in touch with Vera.
"Other times if Brian wants to go you ask if you need to come too."
"Why is that Bukde?"
Larissa pinched both of Shavana's cheeks, she was very anxious with her daughter-in-law. Just such a trivial time, Shavana doesn't know.
"Because you're Brian's wife, Shava. So wherever he goes you have to know."
"But Bukde I'm afraid of being mistaken for kepo" said Shavana.
"It's okay Shava, can't be the same husband."
Shavana nodded in understanding making Larissa sigh.

Ting.
The elevator stops at number 21 and opens. Brian rushed to the door of his apartment unit which had been occupied by Vera for the past year.
No need to press the bell or wait for the door to open from the inside, Brian is now in the apartment.
Ken, the first person Brian saw in there because he was Vera's cousin.
"He's in the room" Ken told Brian.
Brian nodded then went to the main room of the apartment. Brian was about to open the door but was locked.
Tok to tok.
"Honey, it's Brian. Please Honey open the door we have to talk" Brian said, knocking on the door.
Silent. There was no confirmation at all from inside the room. Vera didn't say she didn't open the door either. Either the woman is really sleeping or is just avoiding her.
Ken who was sitting on the sofa immediately approached Brian and patted the man on the back. "In addition to your problems, I stay."
Brian nodded his head making Ken leave immediately. Got the car key from inside the pants pocket, then took the key to the room door whose hanger became one with the car key.
Chequek.
Brian opened the door to the room and immediately saw two large suitcases ready to be dragged. While the owner was curled up in bed with the body covered with a blanket to the chest and eyes closed.
"I know you're not sleeping. You're just trying to avoid me" said Brian.
Vera opened her eyes. "Would you like to come here?" tanyakanya.
Brian stepped his foot towards Vera who was still curled up on the bed.
"I didn't betray you Ver" he said.
"But you fucked her" said Vera, choking Brian's throat.
"I wasn't intentional."
"So you fuck her."
Brian was put on the bed with a view looking at Vera's face that looked swollen. It seems true said Ken when the woman cried shock until her face was as moist.
"Does the love I've been giving you mean nothing just because of this?" brian looked at his ex-wife.
Vera rubbed her cheek. It seems like she just cried again. "Your mistake was fatal Brian. I can't forgive you" he said.
Brian's chest felt tight, his breathing even felt heavy. "Didn't you love me anymore?" tanyakanya.
Vera clung to her body with her legs stuck to the edge of the bed right in front of Brian who was still shed there.
"I love you, Brian. Loves you so much. But it's no longer about love but trust. You broke my trust by fucking that girl."
Brian grabbed Vera's hands and grabbed them. Put on the girl's lap Brian begged.
"Please give me a chance."
