The After One Night Mistake
Is that love?

"Huh?" Fill El's head suddenly empty. He also did not know why those words could come out of his mouth. "Ehm, that's .. I mean just now we're in." El Barack pulled Aina's hand, leading her down from the car.

"Huuft, yeah okay." Again Aina realized that there was no point in refuting El's words. With resignation she stepped with her husband while holding hands out of the basement.

Shortly after entering the lobby, as expected, the views of the employees were immediately fixed on the couple. El stopped his steps as employees lined up to welcome his arrival.

While Aina's gaze was immediately fixed on Yuna who happened to also be in the office lobby. It felt like he wanted to scream right then and there, but his mouth was silent.

"Good morning, sir," said employees and Karyawati who welcomed El Barack. Yes, it's been a tradition of every new CEO change, the employees will definitely hold a celebration for an entire week, and today is El Barack's third day back to the company.

El Barack clasped his hands, glanced at Aina for a while then looked back to look at the employees who seemed to wait for an explanation from her.

"All right, good morning everyone. Thank you for these three days, you all gave me a warm welcome for my return to this company." El's hands let go of that grip and turned to embrace the wife's affection. "For those of you who have worked in the Rich group for a long time, you must be familiar with the woman next to me. Yes, she was my secretary but .. four years ago, in Melbourne, she was my wife and we had a son."

The atmosphere that had been quiet was now suddenly boisterous. They did not expect after the scandal four years ago, El Barack was married and had children. Yuna who stood among her co-workers, only focused on looking at Aina.

He really needed an explanation but since then, his best friend has been trying to avoid his sight. Yuna tried to get out of the crowd and approached Aina boldly. "Ai, can we talk for a second?"

Aina turned to El as if asking for permission to talk to Yuna and El nodded his head, as a sign of giving permission to the wife. "All right, come on." Aina pulled Yuna out of the lobby, as her initial intention of coming there was indeed to meet Yuna.

While in the Lobby, Boril moved quickly, dispersing the crowd. Today he was busy enough to set the schedule, but the boss instead made a furore about the wedding news.

Throughout entering the workspace, Boril continued to pay attention to the look on the face of his boss who looked more cheerful this morning. "Since then, you have been smiling non-stop. What was it like to be so relieved after telling all the office employees about your wedding?"

Boril's eyes began to squeak, he could feel unusual things, which he had never seen from the radiance of El Barack's face. "Sir, I think it's possible .. You've started falling in love."

El Barack seemed stunned, when he heard the word memories always led him to his old love story that always ended in failure and betrayal. The scandal four years ago had lost her confidence in the feeling called 'Love'

"What is love?" the question then selects the focus of looking at the files that are piled on the table.

Boril seemed confused when he heard the superior's question. "Ehm, yes love is .. a feeling where your heart always beats when it is near it, you always miss him even if he is right in front of you and only his name is always in your heart and mind."

Boril tried to explain, even though he knew the boss was more understanding about the feeling. Sometimes he felt sorry for El, who had lost a lot of confidence about himself.

"I don't want to rely on an unreal feeling. For me love is just an illusion that is not brimmed. I don't need love to live my life right now, I want to be more realistic and focused on my goals as Papa's replacement."

Feeling enough with the failure of romance, El Barack continued to fortify himself so as not to fall into the same hole for the second time. The relationship he had with Aina right now was only limited to responsibility.

Yeah, you should at least believe what he's saying right now. But for tomorrow no one knows.
