At a fancy restaurant, a beautiful woman was having dinner with her lover that night. Unceasingly the man praised the beauty of the woman in front of him.
"Tonight you are so beautiful, baby! I'm very lucky to have you" said the man, then kissed his woman's hand at a glance.
While the beautiful girl just smiled and blushed in embarrassment.
"I ordered the best ice cream in this restaurant for you baby, I hope you like the ice cream,"
"Whatever you order for me I'll love it very much, thank you very much dear!" reply the beautiful girl.
"Same pretty,"
Yes, that beautiful woman is Riana and the one currently with her is her lover, Faisal Ahmed.
Faisal pinched a faint pinch of Riana's cheek at a glance and again made Riana's face red.
Riana has fallen in love with a handsome man named Faisal who is the same age as her 27-year-old sister. Faisal is a handsome man of Indo-arabic descent, his nose is sharp, his skin is white and his body is high although not large but his body is very proportional plus a fine sideburns fill the area around his chin and cheeks, making the impression of a*the eyes of Riana.
For him Faisal is an example of a perfect man who can be patient in dealing with all his jutek and childish nature. Faisal could be calm and so mature as his mood rose and fell. What a perfect love life for him, just waiting for time to have Faisal completely.
Riana Amartha Adhythma, a 24-year-old beauty who currently works as CEO and assistant to her beloved sister Risty Azalea Adhytama. It has been almost 3 months Riana accompanied her brother to take care of the legacy company of his beloved uncle, Haris Adhytama.
Risty told Riana to stay with Mama Hana so that her foster mother was not lonely after Risty moved to her husband's Mansion. So for three months Riana lived with her aunt but she called her Mama just like her sister.
"How dear? Do you like the taste?" faisal asked Riana who was focusing on her ice cream.
"Like it, the ice cream is so good!"
"Do you want me to order it again?"
"No need to bang, this is enough. Thanks,"
Riana put a jaim mode in front of Faisal even though if she was alone at that time maybe she would order 3 servings of ice cream at once.
After finishing their dinner, they returned to their homes each driving their own car. Faisal always refused if Riana told him to pick her up at Bu Hana's mansion, he reasoned if he was not ready to meet his family.
***
That morning Riana had been in her car to the office of her sister, her heart was so happy and flowery considering her conversation and sweet chat last night with Faisal, her beloved.
He hummed following the song he turned on his car audio, until suddenly a chat from an unknown person entered on his WhatsApp application.
💌"Good morning Miss! Sorry really you are Miss Riana CEO of PT Adhytama group, I would like to meet with you to talk about your relationship with Mr. Faisal. I wait for you at Blue Cafe on xx street at 1 p.m. Thanks."
Riana frowned in surprise to read the message from the unknown number, then she tried to contact the number but there was no answer at all from the number owner.
At one time no one knew anything about her relationship with Faisal except Beny, because she herself was upset to talk because Beny continued to date her singles at her sister's wedding two months ago.
Then who is this guy?
What is Faisal's best friend?
Another Faisal girlfriend?
Or Beny who's working on it? How thought.
He sighed then tried to forget that insignificant chat, right now he wanted to get to his office and see that handsome face of the man he had always thought of.
That day his work was smooth and there were no significant obstacles, not infrequently also when in the office he stole each other's eyes with Faisal, his lover.
"R.. Sister Males out, sister has lunch here. It's going to go food for lunch, do you want your big brother pesenin?" risty asked his sister.
"No, I'll eat out. Eh tumben kak pesen Go food itself, usually also Kak Erlangga mesenin."
"Bang Angga again to Bandung this morning and tomorrow just returned home, there is an important meeting at the branch of his company in Bandung."
"Ohh so! So brother alone donk in the mansion? Do I need me to go to Temenin?" bargain Riana.
"No need Ri, there is an aunt and a driver in the mansion so I am also not alone, you better meet Mama Hana aja so that mama is not lonely."
"Yes, brother,"
Actually Riana wanted to ignore the chat from the unknown number, but her curiosity was so great that she decided to meet the sender of the chat.
At 12:50 p.m., Riana reached the Blue Cafe and sat at one of the tables. He ordered a milk shake and fries at the cafe waiter.
After a short time a woman wearing blue jeans and a white shirt top approached her, the woman also brought a boy who was about 3 years old.
"Well, I'm sorry do we know each other?" Riana tried to remember.
"May I sit here Miss?"
Instead of answering, she instead asked to sit down at a table with Riana.
"Ah yes! Please sit down" replied Riana.
The woman sat opposite to Riana and brought her son to sit beside her.
"Include my name Cynthia" said the woman named Cynthia as she extended her hand in front of Riana.
"I'm Riana, of course you already know me right? Even though I don't know you myself," Riana received a helping hand.
"I want to talk to you here, because I know you are a respectable woman and have a high position in the company" Cynthia said.
Riana did not understand the direction of Cynthia's conversation, she felt that the woman had too many pleasantries and made her even more curious, until Riana had to control her mouth so as not to put out her words in front of the newly known woman.
"Then?"
He looked at Cynthia with a questionable look and the next second Cynthia exhaled her long breath then continued her words.
"I beg you very much, please leave my husband!"
"Deggs!!"
Hearing Cynthia's words, Riana's heartbeat seemed to stop for a second.
"What do you mean? Maybe you're wrong, I don't know your husband!"
Riana's tone of voice slightly raised as she did not feel that she was seizing another woman's husband.
"Faisal Ahmed, he is my husband and this boy is our son."
"Deggs!!"
Now Riana's heart suddenly felt a tremendous pain hearing that reality.
"No! There's no way you're Bang Faisal's wife! Bang Faisal said he has no wife and company data mentions he is single at the moment. You must be making it up!" Riana still could not believe it.
Cynthia reached into her bag, pulled out a paper and some photos of herself doing the qobul ijab with Faisal, then she showed all the evidence to Riana.
"Honestly, we were not legally married but our marriage was legal in the eyes of religion, because our marriage used to happen because of a mistake we made. I realize that Bang Faisal has not yet legalized our marriage because he does not love me. But for the past 4 years I've been trying to make my husband fall in love."
unknowingly Cynthia let out her tears, then wiped them away at a glance.
And Riana began to believe hearing Cynthia's story, tears and expressions of disappointment that did not look contrived.
"I thought he loved me, but in fact he turned cold again since meeting you. My struggle for four years was futile," Cynthia again shed her tears and even more to her little son also cried without a sound to see her mother cry.
Riana still silently digested all of Cynthia's words, and suddenly a sense of guilt arose in her heart at the tears of Cynthia and her son.
"I know that you and I are like the earth and the sky. You are beautiful, rich, respectable and the younger brother of the owner of the company my husband works for. It is not worth it if we compete for one man, of course I am not able and will withdraw. But if you're willing.."
Not yet Cynthia continued her speech, suddenly Riana clasped Cynthia's hand with both her hands.
"I'm ready, I'm willing to leave your husband. I'm sorry I don't know if there are any of you in Bang Faisal's life, I'm very sorry to accept it. Again please forgive me, I do not mean to hurt your heart and your son." Riana said sincerely.
Now Riana's eyes are also glazed.
"You don't have to apologize miss, I know you're a good woman. If you had known Bang Faisal had a wife before, you probably wouldn't have accepted either. So do not constantly blame yourself, I sincerely forgive you. Don't think about it anymore!"
"Thank you for forgiving me, sister Cynthia, hopefully in the future your relationship will improve again. Never get tired of fighting for your love!"
"Thank you so much Miss Riana, I'll go home first" said Cynthia.
"Together Brother, be careful on the road!"
Cynthia smiled and left Riana.
After Cynthia's departure, Riana was just pensive and her gaze was blank, she wanted to cry and scream right then and there. But he couldn't possibly do that, because he was still in a public place.
And suddenly the voice of someone she knew so well made her daydream.
"Hey jutek! Why even dream here? It's not food to eat but to eat!" said Beny who had been standing next to his seat.
