THE DESTRUCTION OF LOYALTY
TWO OLD BOYS

The sky appears to show its bright blue color decorated with clouds of pure white. Cold air radiates into people's bodies making them lazy to just go out of the house. Like Jia who is in a bad mood since the arrival of Alex, today he did not go to work because he had to take care of the ex-husband who can only fall down. Actually Jia is reluctant to be close to Alex, he does not want to make Alex hope to return to this relationship, but how else? Her heart wasn't that hard to leave Alex alone.

Alex continued to look at Jia without blinking making Jia so misbehaved. To get rid of the uncomfortable feeling in her heart, Jia chose to play her phone, she typed in the abandoned script of the novel last night.

Drt... Drt...

Alex's phone rang, he immediately picked it up because the phone came from the HRD. The news of the dismissal was heard in Alex's ear, Alex could only nod his head without protest because he had expected it before, then he turned off his cellphone.

" Jia." Alex looked at Jia the other way around.

" I got fired from my job, what do you think I should do? Am I coming home or looking for a job here?" Alex asked Jia for his opinion.

Perplexed... One word that Jia felt at this moment. He couldn't give Alex a solution because he didn't know what to do.

" If I don't work, how can I support Valle in the future?" Said Alex.

" For that matter you don't need to think about it yet Mas, I can still bear the cost of Valle's life." Jia.

" Are you quiet at work?" Investigate Alex.

" A... "

" Mom... Ma's.. "

Just now Jia was willing to answer Alex's question, Argham arrived to bring Raffa inside to approach him.

" Mom... " Alex frowned looking at Jia intently as if asking for an explanation from Jia.

Argham looked at Alex with a hostile look. Suddenly her heart was hot to see Jia with another man even though it was her ex-husband.

" Mom.. Ma's.. " Raffa extended her hand to Jia.

" Here baby." Jia took over Raffa from Argham's sling.

Alex was getting confused by the sight before him. His heart asked who was this man and little boy in front of him? Is this the figure of the man who managed to steal Jia's heart? Alex looked at Argham with a look and vice versa. Jia looked at the two, he could feel a gripping aura at this moment.

" Alex, meet this Argham. He's my employer and Argham's, this is Alex...

" Your ex-husband." Sahut Argham cuts Jia's speech.

Jia nodded her head. Alex looked back at Jia.

" You work as his babysitter?" Ask Alex to make sure.

" Yes." Yeah." Jia Sahut.

Alex moved from his position, he sat leaning against the sofa.

" Stop your job and come back to me! I'll cover all your needs." Alex said arriving.

" Can't, you're under contract with me. If you want to marry me, marry me." Sahut Argham surprised Alex.

" What do you mean, huh? Did you like my wife until you offered her a wedding?" It felt like Alex stood punching Argham in the face because he was upset but he could not do it because his condition was still weak.

The two were involved in a debate over Jia like a child fighting over toys. Jia shook her head, she did not expect the two old men to be able to behave childishly in front of her. Unwilling to hear any more commotion, Jia tried to stop them.

" Stop stop!!!" Jia stood in the middle of them. Both of them were silent then looked at Jia who was holding Raffa.

" Why are you guys acting like kids like this huh? Are you not ashamed of the age of the two of you? Old but can't be grown up." Jia Cibir.

" Jia I just want to protect you from that ex of you." Argham looked at Alex.

" I also protect you from men like him." Alex replied to Argham's glance.

" What do you mean? I'm better than you, the man who wasted his wife." Argham's words surprised Jia and Alex.

How does Argham know the problem? Who told Argham about it? The revelation? Jia herself? Jia and Alex's thoughts just floated around thinking about it.

" I'm sorry Argham, I don't know where you can have such thoughts from, whatever our problems please don't get too far into my personal affairs." Jia's words made Alex develop his smile. Argham was upset that Jia was impressed to defend her ex-husband.

" And you're Alex, please don't think if I want to come back to you." This time a big smile rose on Argham's lips. Argham stuck his tongue out at Alex. Alex replied, Jia just shook her head at the behavior of the two of them.

" You're just going to waste your time and energy fighting over each other, because I'm not going to choose either of you." Jia's remarks made Argham and Alex surly. Somehow Jia broke the hope that was growing in their lives.

" Even if you say that, but I'll keep trying to take your heart back until you're my wife again." Alex wants to beat Argham.

" I will also try to steal your heart so that you can choose me and be my wife and the mother of my children." Argham. Jia did not take heart Argham, he felt Argham was just joking or just heating up Alex's manation. No matter where the thought came from, Jia had no idea. He doesn't want to bother thinking about it.

Jia prefers to take Raffa out of her house. He sat on the porch holding Raffa.

" Mom... Ma." Raffa stroked Jia's cheek as usual.

Argham followed Jia forward, he sat down on the seat beside Jia.

" Has Raffa eaten Mas?" Jia asked at a glance at Argham.

" No, Raffa doesn't want to eat. That's why I brought her here." Sahut Argham's.

" Pity Mama's son this one, later we buy porridge team yes in front there continue Raffa eat a lot deh." Jia kissing Raffa's cheek made Raffa laugh out loud like a child.

" Jia the matter of my words earlier... "

" I hope you're just kidding me." Sahut Jia cuts Argham's speech.

" I will resign if until your words contain elements of reality, I will not be comfortable working for people who want me. It's better me...

" You're right, I'm just kidding." This time Argham cut Jia's speech.

" I'm just heating up your ex-husband's manation, keep working for me. Raffa needs you so much." Continue Argham.

" Of course." Sahut Jia smiled.

" Let Jia assume all my words are just a joke, I don't want to be too rushed to judge this feeling. Let everything flow like flowing water, I'm sure Jia needs time to reorganize her heart." Inner Argham.
