Stepmom Cold Bed
Heart conversation

Currently, Maureen officially filed her claim there is Edwin. Accompanied by two lawyers, they took care of the police station and filed a review of the development accident case in Anggoro's project.

All the evidence is complete and the police will issue a summons for Edwin, the suspect, within 1x24 hours.

Maureen could breathe a little relieved as her efforts had already arrived at this tiitk. The police are willing to reopen the case, which is what makes Maureen grateful. He finally opened the door of justice for his parents.

Another relief came from Riswan. After knowing who the perpetrators of the gossip spread, all gossip links about him and Byan have been officially closed. Only Edwin was currently in a fog as all the arrows he used to attack people turned against him.

One more thing Maureen has to do now is face the lawyers Anggoro. People are waiting for clarification from Maureen and Byan regarding their relationship. We will finish one by one.

“Where, what goes smoothly?” Byan welcomes Maureen at the door of the police station.

Maureen did ask Byan not to come in because he wanted to settle the matter with his lawyers.

“Ya, so far smoothly.” There was a sigh of relief from Maureen's mouth and Byan was grateful for it. He grabbed Maureen's hand and kissed her with emotion.

“Byan, this is a public place.” Maureen tried to let go of Byan's hand. He was still afraid that someone would spy on him while with Byan.

“You go somewhere?”

“What's still time?” Maureen looked at the watch in her hand.

“My time is always free for you,” said Byan as he grabbed Maureen's hand and took her walking together towards the car.

I don't know which direction Byan would take, Maureen just followed him. During the trip, Maureen seemed to daydream alone. She smiled and Byan let her go.

“You while listening to music?” haggle with that guy, like understand.

“By music skirt?” the door was unexpected.

“Why not?” Byan turned on the music player in his car and linked it to his phone. He played a slow rock song and Maureen seemed to enjoy it.

The rhythm of rock music slowly crept up, along with Maureen's accumulated emotions, as if to become a perfect melody of anxiety. Without Byan guessing, Maureen suddenly cried. Sobbing with tears. Byan realized, Maureen was trying to get all her emotions out. Emotions that he has endured long ago and often make his chest tight.

Byan raised the volume of his music. Byan understands that Maureen is the type who likes to hide her tears and broken feelings. One thing he is doing right now is, holding Maureen's hand tightly and trying to show that he will always be there for her.

Along the way it was filled with Maureen's cries mixed with the sound of rock music. Just as the music was slowly creeping into the anticlim, Maureen's voice sounded clearer, but not for long. His emotions began to control.

“Udah until?” maureen asked as she wiped her tears. Byan's car stopped in an open space that was originally an office area.

“Hem, we've arrived. Whenever you want to come down, we'll go down.” Byan kissed Maureen's hand gently.

“Sorry if I make you uncomfortable?” there was still a hiccup between the sentences Maureen spoke.

“Nothing is uncomfortable while you're by my side.” Byan's hands were soft, wiping away the remaining tears on Maureen's cheeks.

“Thank you.” Maureen said seriously. He could not imagine that Byan was not at his side at the moment, perhaps he would cry alone without a backrest.

Byan did not answer, he cupped both sides of Maureen's face and brought her closer to Maureen and then kissed Maureen's head with a feeling.

“Don't thank me too much, because I still have a lot of debt to you.” Byan said with a soft. He looked at the red and wet netra and then briefly kissed Maureen's lips that slightly pursed and quivered because they still held back his crying.

Without warning, Maureen replied by hugging Byan. A very tight hug. He felt that Byan was the only person he could hope for and accompanied him through many things that were difficult for him to conquer alone.

Byan smiled small, full of gratitude. He felt that Maureen was really opening her heart. Perhaps his feelings were much more relieved after reaching this point. The point he fought for a long time.

For quite a while they hugged each other, felt a rush of feelings for each other and felt a sense of belonging to each other. After feeling calmer, they decided to go down. Maureen sits on one of the benches surrounding a lake. He stared at the ripples of water glittering in the sunlight.

Occasionally the ripple widens when exposed to the wagging tail of a goldfish. Quite soothing for his troubled heart to gradually recover.

“Still,” with pleasure Maureen received it.

They both sipped the warm capucino and felt a slightly bitter and sweet sensation at the base of the tongue.

“Byan,” call Maureen who is still looking far ahead. Pay attention to the ripples of water that are getting longer and wider. Some fish came to the surface, needing to breathe air that made the cavity of his parachute start tight.

“Ya,” byan faithfully listen.

“I think, it's time I resigned from Anggoro corp.” Maureen's sentence sounded firm and full of confidence.

“Do you think your business with Anggoro is done?” Byan tried to understand.

Maureen nodded small. Playing the plastic glass in his hand by twirling it.

“Since the beginning of my entry into Anggoro corp, my goal was to find out what really happened to my father. I never really intended to work there.”

“I don't think I've had a lot of valuable experience in Anggoro corp, but I've never really enjoyed my job. My goal still remains the same and never changes.”

Maureen exhaled violently and leaned her head on Byan's shoulder. He felt he needed a backrest.

“Moment when your father found out that I intended to destroy Anggoro corp, it became a moment that made me even more certain that the company was hiding something. Especially when he gave me an offer I never expected. I did agree to it but it couldn't replace my loss and anger.”

“Right now, I feel like what I should do is done. I no longer have any purpose in that company. I don't need your father's money either.”

Maureen straightened her body and turned to see Byan who was listening to her.

“About Tifani, I admit I did ask him for help to set you up to sign the consent letter granting the right to inherit it for me. My mind was very narrow at the time. I thought, if I was at the peak of Anggoro corp's power, I could clearly see the writh of everyone who used to have a share in my father's death. I can also subdue people who are arrogant towards me. More than that, I could easily destroy Anggoro corp from its peak.”

“But at this time, I am grateful that Tifani's stupidity even made my plan fail. I can't imagine if I made it then, maybe I won't get to know you Byan.”

In this sentence Maureen smiled faintly. He rubbed Byan's cheek with affection.

“I also won't feel like I can get this close to someone who used to be my great enemy. Someone who made me realize that my biggest enemy is my own anger.”

Maureen grabbed Byan's hand and stuck her finger between Byan's fingers and held it tightly.

“Your father cried when he found out that I was in the company because I wanted to avenge my father's death. He asked me what my parents looked like until I dared to go that far. I told you, what my parents did was simple. They make me feel loved.” Maureen smiled again considering Anggoro's expression at that time.

“Then he said, he deserves to envy my parents because he was never in that position. His son hated him for the many mistakes he made. He admits that he is a failed father, as well as a failed husband. But he hopes, at the very least, he does not become the leader of a failed company and suffer many employees who depend on this company. He does not want any next Malik to be the victim of this company's negligence.

“I am not in the capacity to defend Byan, but I can only say that Anggoro is an ordinary man who has difficulty controlling his desires as a normal human being. I also do not ask you to understand all his mistakes, because to any time hurt the couple is the wrong thing."

"Only, you should know that he has tried hard to fix everything. And the man still has goodness even from the other side.”

“What I always remember is, Anggoro never vilified your mother even once. She said your mother was a special woman that no woman she'd ever be able to replace. Before we got married, your father took me to your mother's grave. He talked to your mother long enough. He said his love for your mother will always be greater than for any other woman, I must not be envious. And his marriage to me, just an attempt to protect me and make me forgive him.”

“Byan, in the end, only you yourself can judge what Anggoro looks like. Let's just say, it's a different view than a stranger who once barged into your life.”

Maureen fell silent, feeling that what she had to say was complete. In looking at the face of Byan who was somehow feeling. Maureen kissed Byan's hand for a moment feelingly.

“After this, can you let me go for a while? Come if you feel you've done better than your father did. Fulfill your grudges in a better way.” Maureen stared fixedly at Byan who was looking at her heartily. He listens to all the chatter of Maureen who doesn't know what her brain is processing it all like.

Clearly, Byan did not answer. He just hugged Maureen long enough, yeah long enough. Until then the sun gradually came down to pick up the fluttering clouds.
