The Adjutant
A Decision
Do not make decisions without thinking ahead, think back before the word regret later. (A piece of the word that a male friend once gave me in the office, when he failed in the household this message was given to me, it's also a message to Reader's all who read my work.)

Adela stood behind the door, and leaned against the door leaf. Raiz also leaned the same as squatting on the door of Adela's house.
"I know you're still behind this door, what I feel right now is regretting why I didn't keep the woman who's been my wife. Right now, I can't love the woman who first came to heart. You know, your presence as short as this could make Anita fall from my heart by changing her you are now in the heart. You know, I can't give an inner living to him, because you're so big a love in my heart. You should know it's Adela, I'm wrong at the moment, but I don't think I want to be saved, I would like to be with you right now, and leave Anita. "
Adela opened the door, until Raiz fell backward because of the position he was leaning on the door leaf.
"Sir Regent is greedy too, there is already a beautiful wife still want to add a wife. As long as you know, the Regent's mother is beautiful and perfect. I am not perfect as you think. If you knew what I was like, you would be sorry. I don't want that person to sacrifice one just wants to be with me but one day it will get a lot of wasted time, he said, and I may one day never be useful to anyone who wants to be close to me. And as long as you know, I will spend the rest of my life with people who already know and want to accept what my condition will be like. Please Mr. Raiz go, my love is dead to you. "

"Sir Andi, this is a file that must be signed by Father. " Said Adela when she returned to serve as the new Adjutant of the vice Regent of Pakis.
"Thank you, later please do not forget to free up time for a meeting with the Regent. "
"Every sir, is there anything to change again? " Task Adela.
"Nothing, enough with the Regent that one day with him. " Answer Mr. Andi.
"Okay sir, I'm sorry. " Say Adela pamit and nod by Pak Andi.

The meeting took place, and in another room, Anita and Elijah's mother were having their first meeting with the wives of other officials.
Adele sat behind Mr. Andi, occasionally. Raiz glanced at Adela . But Adela pretended not to know, and remained focused on her work.
"Sir Andi sorry can you ask for a minute to talk to my former Adjutant? " Pinta Raiz after the meeting.
"Please sir, I'll wait in the car. " Said Mr. Andi to Raiz and Adela.
"What's wrong? " Task Adela.
"Mas wants to give this to you, it's your birthday. " Raiz answered giving Adela a small box.
"I don't remember if it was my birthday. " Said Adela.
Raiz puts a small box in the pocket of Adela's uniform, and Adela wants to take out the gift box but Raiz dials it.
"Receive it, and open it later when you get home. " Raiz said, leaving immediately.
Anita from afar looked at her, but she brushed off the suspicion and walked up to Adela.
"Hi.. " Sapa Anita.
"Mom, how are you, ma'am? " Reply Adela.
"Good News, um, when - when can we talk like we used to."
"Mom, just take your time. "
"Well, I'll chat you later. I'll find your number in my husband's contact. "
"Good ma'am, I'm waiting for the chat. Excuse Mum. "
"Why am I so jealous to see you Adel, when I found out my husband was talking to you so closely. I don't want to be a little suspicious of you.

" Happy Birthday's. " Said Irfan while carrying a tart in both hands.
Adela blows out her birthday candle, and Irfan kisses Adela's forehead. After placing the cake on the table, Irfan took out a small box and opened the box with a diamond ring.
"Do you want to marry your brother? "
"May I tell you honestly before you propose to me."
"Can you tell me what? "
"I am the widow of Mr. Raiz. "
Instantly both feet of Irfan felt very weak and stared intently at Adela.
"Sorry, just said it now. "
"So you ever had a special relationship? "
"Abang may abort, I married her because I forced her to help me escape from forced marriage of both my parents just for the sake of debt. But Mr. Raiz helped me by paying off 350 million in total. I promised to pay her off for 2 years, with a contract marriage agreement. But I can't afford, my salary must be divided with the family in the village. Running time with a short marriage, Mr. Raiz pay off his. And you should know we have the same taste. " Said Adela.
Irfan smiled and hugged Adela's body, his hands gently rubbing Adela's head.
"Abang will not bring up the past, maybe you are a little surprised. But most importantly you no longer have a relationship with him. Does your marriage know? " Say Irfan.
"In the village you know, here only Mas Sony knows. Our divorce was not known, both her parents and Anita did not know. "
"Abang will keep this a secret from both of Abang's parents too. He will accept you, because he has chosen you. Brother doesn't matter. I accept you for who you are. "
"Thank you Bang. " Say Adela hugged Irfan again.
"Abang proposes to you now. " Say Irfan let go of Adela's embrace.
Adela smiled and nodded her head with tears. Irfan also put the ring on Adela's ring finger.
"Abang will propose to you officially, after you meet with your parents. "
"Thank you Bang. "
"Abang will keep you now, Brother won't let you go again. "

Adela smiled as she stared at a circular ring on her ring finger, but Adela remembered the gift that was given from Raiz.
Adela took her uniform in her dirty basket and reached into her uniform pouch. Adela opened the ribbon of her small box and when she opened a diamond ring the same model as the gift from Irfan.
And there was a piece of paper with black inked handwriting.
For the Beautiful Adjutant of the Regent....
Adela immediately smiled amusedly as she read the opening of the letter.
Happy birthday to Mother Adjutant
May in this age, God be with you.
Mas gave this ring gift to you, in the past when married Mas did not give you a diamond ring until we separated.
I'm sorry that I love you so much now and then.
