The Shackles of Second Love
Chapter 49
Her relationship with Mia was not going as she expected. Hartono thought his love story with Mia would be filled with flowers blooming, but in reality it was not the flowers that accompanied their relationship, but the thorns that he had once plugged into Sharon's heart.
He thought maybe all this was the price he had to pay for having dared to hurt a woman as good as Sharon.
Hartono sighed for the umpteenth time, he stared at the appearance of himself who was trying to put a tie.
Mia is still reluctant to talk to him, although he has tried to explain what happened when he was in Lombok. But the woman didn't believe him either.
This is all because of the photos that Sara sent. Hartono wondered where the damn woman got Mia's cell phone number from, as well as what exactly Sara's purpose was to do all that.
He never felt wrong about the woman. But why does Sara look like she wants to destroy her relationship with Mia.
“Mia,.” Hartono called out Mia's name in a weak tone, the woman still flinching in place without any intention of poking the man's call.
“I didn't lie to you, I with Sharon didn't do anything.” he said trying to explain back.
“She has helped me fend off a trap from someone.”.
Mia, who had fallen asleep while turning her back to Hartono, slowly got up and turned to look at the man.
Hartono's heart slipped when he saw Mia's pale face, surely the woman had not slept all night. Though Mia is pregnant and should not be much thought, but she instead makes the woman stressed because of a misunderstanding.
“Can I ask you something?” mia asked with eyes full of wounds.
Hartono nodded briefly, “About what?” tanyakanya.
“How do you feel when you are close to your ex-wife, the mother of your child, the woman who has been with you for years?”
Mia's words stopped for a moment to catch her breath which began to feel heavy.
“Women you have hurt,”
Hartono froze with all those questions.he did not understand the meaning of Mia's question, why did the woman ask him that question?
“There is no feeling I feel other than guilt, just that.” replied Honestly Hartono.
One thing Hartono didn't tell Mia was that she still loved Sharon as much as she used to.
It's just that the feeling of love for his ex-wife is no longer there, but Hartono still loves and cares for Sharon.
Mia exhaled roughly, for some reason she was still not satisfied with Hartono's answer.
Hartono who saw Mia speechless then took the opportunity to hug the woman's body.
“Mia, I beg you not to be like this again. Remember you are pregnant, should not be too much thought.”
“I don't want anything bad to happen to you or the baby in your womb.”
Mia cried again when she heard those words. He feels guilty in the child in the womb, he has lately been too negative thinking that makes him ignore the health of the womb.
“Listen, once again you make my heart hurt. Then I will completely leave your life and will never come back again.” he threatened to Hartono.
Mia had to be firm, she could not live in this kind of pain and fear. He did love the man, but if Hartono kept on giving him wounds, then the path he had to take was to leave the life of Hartono.

Mia did not understand what the people's gazes meant to her at this moment. While he was shopping unaccompanied by Hartono, many supermarket visitors stared strangely at him.
They provide a variety of eye views, such as curiosity, doubt, and disgust.
He didn't understand why they got like that.
“Eh, it's not a woman who is rame on social media is it?”
“Try to see again his photo, actually similar to him.”
Mia heard all those people's words even vaguely. His hand that was holding the broccoli began to tremble with fear.
How could these people know of her scandal? Though he is not a public figure, but why did they get to know this problem?
“Crazy! Don't know yourself!” take one of the women there.
“Say she was once considered a child by Bu Sharon, but this bitch even stabbed her from behind.”
Mia could no longer bear to hear him. Their talk sounded very painful to Mia. With a face that had been flushed with embarrassment, Mia decided to rush to the cashier even though she had not really finished shopping.
After that Mia went straight home and checked what had actually been circulating on social media.
It turns out that the divorce case of Hartono and Sharon has been circulating in the news media, as well as the scandal involving him as a third person for their relationship has also been sticking to the media.
One of the gossip accounts on the famous platform ran the case and uploaded a photo of Mia with various evidence that she had become Hartono's mistress before the man officially divorced.
“Who has spread all this?!” Mia asked in panic.
Both of his eyes had runny from reading some comments about him in the article that contained the scandal.
“She is beautiful, but has no self-esteem.”
“Beauty but snatch people's husbands! Cheap!”
“Got a disgust!”
“Be careful, karma following—”
“Guys— Says she's pregnant too!”
“I used to work in their mansion, it's a pity that Ms. Sharon didn't believe it. And now it is proven that this woman is indeed ******!”
..
Sharon coughed as Mahendra showed a hot article that was being crowded into the conversation on social media.
The woman was stunned by the content of the news that really revealed the bad side of Hartono as her husband.
When asked the reason for their divorce, Sharon chose to silence and seemed to cover up the real problems. But who would have thought that what he covered up was revealed by itself.
“This is really surprising.” Mahendra commented while looking at Sharon who chose silence.
Sharon is embarrassed when the reason for her divorce from Hartono is known to the crowd. After this must be many people who think that she is a woman who is sad because of her own husband.
“I did not expect in the end people know this problem.” Sharon said.
“They must have found my flaws so my husband chose to turn away.” said the woman sounded sad.
When a husband cheats, sometimes many people blame a wife.
The less wife, the less. Already being hurt the edges remain to blame.
Mahendra dared to touch Sharon's hand and hold it.
“The man always feels never satisfied with something. When someone cheats it does not mean because it is caused by the lack of a partner. That's because they do not know what it's like to be a grateful person.” said Mahendra trying to channel his opinion.
“You are a beautiful woman, smart and kind. It is not you who are wrong but the person who left you is the one who is stupid.”
