PENGHALAM
Chapter 53. Jealous

...Never regret an event in your life, including someone God has given you. Because God cannot bring two or more people together without reason and purpose. It could be he who changed your life or you who changed his life. But certainly every person God presents always gives us a lesson. Either he who stays or he who just stops....

Raka comes over to Vira, wanting to take her to the same table. The man was shocked when he saw who was standing with him. Raka wanted to retreat, for fear of her presence interfering.

As Raka wanted to step away, Vira saw him. He called her right away.

"Sir ... Where are you going?" ask Vira.

"I wanted to take you to eat there. But if you still have something to say, finish it first" said Raka nervously.

"It seems like there's nothing more we need to talk about. There is no relationship between us anymore either. There are lives of each. Right, Mas?" ask Vira.

Yudha seemed to catch her breath. Staring at Raka intensely. A jealous face from his sight.

"Mas, you must have known Mr Raka'kan?" ask Vira. He looked at Yudha who was staring at Raka without a blink.

"You and Mr. Raka are not like superiors and subordinates" Yudha said at last.

"Why is Mr Yudha?" ask Raka.

"Very familiar. Like a close friend," said Yudha.

Vira looked at Raka. Fearful that her boss was offended by her ex-husband's remarks.

"I never make a distance between subordinates and superiors so that there is no awkwardness when we work. I don't think there's anything strange" Raka said.

"It is not usual that the boss is so close to the subordinates that they invite to eat in the same place as the shareholders and company leaders. Even if there is usually only his wife or closest friend," Yudha said again.

Vira hears the debate between the boss and her ex-husband begins to heat up close to Raka. Stand next to the man.

"Sorry, Mas. If I'm close to Mr. Raka, I don't think it's any more of your business. There is no relationship between us anymore. Your accusations are unwarranted. Of course me and Mr. Raka are very close, because I'm his secretary. Just like your relationship with Weny. You just brought him home. So what's wrong with our closeness?" ask Vira again.

Hearing Vira's words, her ex-husband fell silent. He remembered the first time he brought Weny home. Completing office work. Did Vira do the same with Raka? Bringing work to the man's house, Yudha thought in her heart.

"How Mas? Now you understand, don't you? There's nothing strange about our relationship."

"I'm sorry, Vira. I'm not used to seeing you close to other men. Maybe because I still consider you my wife" said Yudha softly.

Vira smiled at her husband's words. That sounds funny.

"Did I not hear wrong, Mom? You still think I'm your wife? When I was your wife, I often forgot. All you remember is Weny. Why when you parted, you thought I was your wife! I don't think this makes any sense. Very trumpeting. Remember, Mas. There is no relationship between us anymore. Anyone close to me is no longer your business."

"Come, Sir. Let's just go" Vira told Raka.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yudha. I say goodbye," said Raka.

Raka and Vira left Yudha, who was still glued to her place. His eyes stared unblinkingly at the departure of the two people.

"Although we have separated, it turns out that this heart still hurts to see you close to other men. Is this how you felt when I got close to Weny? I'm sorry Vira. It's not easy to let go of you. Maybe it's a punishment for me who let you go. It is true that people often say, Sometimes people have to get to the point of loss to understand the meaning of a presence, affection, and loyalty" Yudha murmured in her heart.

Sometimes, you have to lose someone before you realize how much he means to you in your life
