After he finished talking to his secretary, Qaid returned to his seat.
Sipping the green tea he ordered, Qaid continued his chat with Karan a few minutes ago.
Mr. Karan, my relationship with Meylani is very complicated. Not as others imagine. I tried so hard to love Meylani. To this day, that feeling of love never existed. Meylani was so tormented inwardly living with a stupid man like me. How to make a mistake twice. I failed twice in building a home. After parting I finally realized who the true owner of the heart was. Not because I have a son from Seira while Meylani until now has not been gifted a child. But from the beginning I never loved Meylani. I married her just because of my grudge against Seira. Just because I want to see Seira suffer. Lirih Qaid's.
Without any response Karan only listened to Qaid's curses.
Karan is neither angry nor sad. In his heart he was glad to hear it.
Go on, how are your plans now, Mr. Qaid. If you don't love her then let her go. He deserves to live happily with someone who truly loves him. Karan replied in a firm voice.
The looking down Qaid raised his face and looked at Karan lekat.
With someone who really loves him ?. Mr Karan is that you ?. Qaid asked with a flat expression.
I'm not saying that this man is me. You guessed it yourself. Chirping Karan.
Mr. Karan, don't forget we're the same men. No one understands a man better than his own people. I can see from your gaze, I can conclude that you love her.
Sok tau !.
Do you think that Meylani will love me ?. Ask Karan to Qaid.
So right, you love him ?. Ask Qaid again.
Why ask if you know. Answer Karan ketus.
Alhamdulillahot.
Karan was astonished by the usual Qaid response. Usually a husband will be jealous if there is another man who loves his wife. But it was different from the man sitting in front of him now.
You know Mr Karan ?. Even though I don't love him, I love him. I want to make sure to release him with the right person someday. I want Meylani to be happy. Because during my life with me Meylani suffered a lot. I knew in his heart he was no longer strong. But he kept trying to survive. I want to free him from all the suffering I have caused.
I want to ask you something, Mr. Karan.
Tell Mr. Qaid what you want from me.
Can you take care of Meylani. To love him, to love him with all his heart. I'm sure there's a taste left in his heart for you. He also loves your child very much. You may think I am a crazy husband. But this is all I can do to make up for all the pain I give. I know you're the right guy. Can you ?. Tanya Qaid.
All right, Mr. Karan. Starting tomorrow, bring your child home. So that you and your children can be close to Meylani. Soon I will take care of our divorce, but after I talk to my family and Meylani. Pray well.
After they finished talking, the two left the restaurant, with warm hugs. Maybe it will get more familiar after this.
On the way home Karan was very happy he kept humming ria.
Karan feels very happy, he has a chance to get Meylani as his wife and a connecting mother for his son.
His lonely soul who used to thrash, because the wife lived shortly after giving birth to their little daughter, made Karan in a deep sadness. Added to that after accepting the fact that the woman he loved had married another man. Karan's making more nelangsa.
The longing of her child for the figure of a mother makes Karan very sad. He only wished Meylani, his first love. With full confidence Karan left India and re-settle in Indonesia. Precisely in the city of Batam where he grew up first.

Sitting alone on the balcony of their room, enjoying a warm cup of tea at night.
Staring at the stars scattered in the sky so dark.
When I first started dating you, I felt like a Morning Star. The brightest among all the stars. Meylani. Looking up at the stars in the dark sky.
Until we finally got married, and on the first day after we got married I suddenly became the star of Proxima Centauri, a star located very far from earth. I know you also understand how I felt when we first got married until now. I understand that too. In your heart there is only one woman, who truly loves you. Even though I used to hate it. Her tears were unstoppable again. Maybe every day Qaid never saw her cry. He always looks strong to maintain a household without love. Love is more like clapping one hand. Because the one who has that feeling is just one.
Qaid stared at Meylani silently without a word. His tongue seemed to complain about Meylani's words.
Sincere love for you used to evaporate out of nowhere. Maybe too much disappointment. Until that feeling just disappears. Now Meylani's gaze was fixed on the man who was bowed before her.
Look at me mas. I want to end it all. I want us to be happy with the person we really love. End this marriage. There's nothing to worry about. I can do everything myself. Maybe this is karma for us. For hurting Seira and her son. I'm sincere mas. Come back with Seira. Pursue and have him and your son back. Pray for me to find someone who truly loves me. Meylani sobbed profusely.
Qaid could not stop the rate of tears, which went down to wet his cheeks. Tell him he's a weak and crybaby man.
Qaid pulled Meylani in his arms. I don't really love you. But I love you. Tomorrow I'll give you back well to both of your parents.
A smile flashed on Meylani's lips. Now he is relieved. He must be able to make peace with his own feelings.
Thanks mas.
