The atmosphere was still dark when the Turkish Airlines plane landed at Soekarno-Hatta airport. The airport was wet by the drizzle that seemed to have gone down long enough.
Vania walks with Barley. A week in Turkey entangles the two into a romance that is hard to break. At least there are still remnants of the tempestuous taste in Barli's chest to continue with Vania.
His hands are coiled around a slender waist which has always been a great attraction when they make love. The charm of the sexy beautiful woman was indeed so haughty to seduce her. Sometimes Barli thought about making Vania his wife. How come? Of course it would make her Papi angry.
Barli's life has been arranged so neatly since childhood. He never felt any lack or suffering. Her father was a rich man from birth, although Papi's hard work has also made their lives stable over time.
What would happen if Barli suddenly brought Vania, the private secretary home, then introduced her as a future wife. Not only Papi, Barliana would also definitely preach to him like a child. Since Mami's death, Barliana has grown into a motherly figure.
If there was something that Barley could not do, it might be to choose or do something that suited his heart. Studying in Paris with the majors that have been chosen by Papi, then when he returned to Indonesia a prestigious position was waiting for him.
Senior Vice President of Business Development at a company that the last two years used its brand name. PT Barlian Mediacom's. Of course this is no joke. All steps in Papi's observation. Although Barli can prove his hard work, but Papi always has people who strictly supervise all his activities.
“Papi what the fuck? Barley works here, Pi! No need Papi send people just to monitor Barli!” he was angry when he was in Hong Kong.
“What work are you doing in Macau?” answer Papi coldly.
Damnit damnit! Just for the fun of pitting luck in Macau a day only it must be supervised. It was only natural that Barli felt that he needed entertainment. The investment world he is in is at high risk. As a graduate of economics and finance from the American University Of Paris, Barli has learned all about investment risk. For that the occasional spin of money at the Macau casino table becomes a reasonable thing. But it made Papi angry. Sometimes Barli was fed up with Papi's attitude, but to fight back, he had no strength.
“Darling, I went home alone, don't have to drive your driver. There are some Aileen needs that I have to buy all of you. Thanks for Turkey.” Vania said goodbye to the man who this week had given her the warmth of the bed.
Maybe now the account is fat. Every time after accompanying Barli, Vania gets a very decent wage. I don't know, lately Vania is no longer enthusiastic about seeing his account. He only needed the cost for Aileen's treatment.
They split up at terminal three of the airport. After feeling the situation was safe, Vania rushed towards the parking lot where Avan was waiting for her.
“Hai, Hun. Wow you look beautiful and fresh,”sapa Avan when he saw Vania enter the white Alpard car that has been waiting for him since an hour ago. Vania thrust her cheeks right and left, resignedly kissed Avan. They hugged for a moment. The private driver holding the steering wheel threw a glance at the street.
“Where is Turkey?” ask Avan.
“During the time I went you used to look at Aileen, right?” Vania is always worried about her little daughter. Aileen's condition isn't okay. This is still unknown to Avan, because Vania kept it tight.
“Aman, Aileen I often take to the park, also to the mall. Yesterday he was very happy in Dufan.” Evan was proud because it was yesterday that he and Aileen had a good time.
“What? You took him to bAileenang?” Vania's voice rose, making Avan gasp in shock.
“Iya, Huns. What’s wrong? Aileen is so happy, youh!”
Vania had almost no power to hold back. Avan shouldn't have done that.
“Babe, next time you have to permission me first if you want to bring Aileen outdoor activities, you can not be so aja invite her bAileenang without my permission!”
“Hey, calm Hun! Aileen had fun with her papa. What's wrong?”
What was wrong was that Aileen's body couldn't be that strong!
Almost Vania said that, but her brain could still think far. Vania doesn't want Avan to fall for Aileen. He never thought a child was the solution so Avan married him, no. If Avan marries her, it's because of his own decision, not because of the child, or because of pity. After all the mistakes she made in the past, Vania wanted to start things right.
“Give me time, I'm tired Avan.”
“As you wish. I just want to know. At least I can think about it too. Either way this will involve us. I don't want you to make the wrong decision.”
“Since I agreed to go to Barlian Mediacom, I think I made the wrong decision,” said Vania ketus.
Sometimes he wants to come back. Unfortunately, life never seemed to be on his side. Until this moment he had been with Avan again, but it seemed he was just repeating the same story. I don't know, maybe he was too stupid to let this feeling drag on.
After marrying Dino, Vania only hopes that she can lead a normal life, like most women. Married, had children, had a career. Turns out, again the rice is not so lucky. Dino did marry her because she thought Aileen was her son, not because she wanted to be with him. From her failed marriage Vania learns, everything must be done right. He loved Avan that much, but Avan always gave him no choice.
“We go straight home? Or do you want to eat first? You must be hungry, Hun.” Vania did not answer Avan's words. His mind wandered, imagining all the possibilities if he took another big decision.
The car stopped at a fast food restaurant. Avan holding Vania's hand which now looks more silent. Wanting Avan to pierce the mind of his lover, but that seemed only dumb.
“Avan, do you still want me to destroy Barli company?” ask Vania while biting the burger.
“It was my biggest wish, Hun. You know if at that time I was not in a bad condition due to the defeat of the tender with the Barlian company, I married you.”
Vania was silent for a moment. I don't know, it feels like he wants to believe Avan's words. But it was hard, because he knew how much Avan loved his job. A workaholic like Avan has nothing more important than a job that has to go according to what was planned. Make achievement goals, then achieve them one by one. And in the list of goals it can be ascertained there is no name also Aileen. That was, seven years ago.
Has Avan changed now? Vania has to find out.
“Where will we marry?”
“What, do you mean?”
“If I manage to bankrupt Barli's company, where will we get married? Isn't that what you promised me? Or is that just bullshit, because you haven't actually planned anything for us? Me and Aileen.”
“We, hun. We three. Because we're going to be a family. You and Aileen are my life goals now.”
“Why don't we forget everything and start right now? Avan, forget Barley. Barley does not matter anymore if we really want to start our lives again.” Vania looked at Avan hoping that the man would grant her request.
“Vania, you want to give up? What has that man done to you in Turkey? He's taken my company, my pride, and now he's gonna take you? Where's Vania who always understood me?”
I just hope Avan changes. Vania swallows her disappointment with a cup of hot chocolate. Maybe it was true that everything had already happened, there was no time for him to retreat. It is not wrong if in his brain now there is only a plan to approach Papi Barli. Johan Baroto is the key!
