The Sweetest Harsh
Episode-12 Meet the Ex

Davians?

Alfa was finally able to find the face of the voice of the man who called out to her. Davian waved his hand across there. Even the inferior tiara could not see clearly because it was covered by the huge bodies that passed in front of him. Nimble, her husband pulled her hand and stepped zigzagging past the urging of the walking people.

Arriving at the edge of the road that is quite quiet Alfa stopped the steps. Tiara only watched the man who was looking ahead. He knew someone up ahead as Davian, Alfa's partner in her photography teamwork, and then, a woman who was busy struggling with her cell phone without noticing that she and her husband were approaching.

Alfa looked at Tiara who was also looking at her. He was really sorry to have approached Davian here. He could have pretended not to hear and just get out of this place without having to be in this situation that he really did not expect. But, it's wet. Inevitably he had to be gentle by facing whatever was in front of him this time.

It's all over and Alfa doesn't feel any pain anymore. He had closed the door in his heart to re-spread the memories of the past. He had a very strong shield to deal with him this time.

A few seconds as Davian stepped forward to shake hands with Alfa in front of him, the woman turned her head, her body stiff and her gaze fixed on the man who was carrying the cloth bag containing the suit she had just bought.

Tiara realized the woman was staring at her husband. But he was just silent waiting for Davian and Alfa who were chatting briefly about what needs they went to this place.

“How about we spend a cup of coffee first before going home? We've never taken the time to get together like this, have we? There's something I need to tell you." Davian smiled and his gaze turned to look at Tiara with raised eyebrows. If Alfa can resist, not with Tiara. Ah, he could persuade her as a tool to get a 'yes' answer from Alfa.

“Tiara? You agree?”

Alfa turned her head towards him, waiting for an answer. Tiara who felt cornered of course could not refuse, with stammering he said by presenting a forced smile because he felt not too familiar with the two friends of her husband.

“Of course .. I agree.” Tiara nodded her head slowly.

“Good. Come.” Davian reached out to the woman behind him, silent without interacting with Tiara or Alfa.

The four of them arrived at the cafe not far from where they had met earlier. Some guests who were also enjoying their coffee there turned their heads for a moment and whispered. Tiara who was stared at with a denouncing look as if she knew and hoped their sudden event in the cafe was soon finished. He was really uncomfortable, let alone local news about him as an icon of the new model is still widespread everywhere.

Alfa sighed Tiara to sit beside her. Cringing his hands on his shoulders. Davian and his woman took a seat across the street right in front of the two of them. A waiter with a small notebook approached, waiting for his customers to order a drink.

“One Americano.” Alfa ordered first. “No Macchiato Tiara.” Alfa shook her head, then raised her gaze towards Tiara's stomach. Demand the woman to understand that pregnant women should not drink coffee even with a small composition of coffee. He knew Tiara was very fond of milky types of coffee, so he would warn first.

“Flavoured Tea with blueberries.” Alfa said again. Tiara's words that had already reached the tip of the throat finally turned into a breath. Her husband has been getting more protective lately.

“Two Cappucino.” Davian then mentioned his order.

This cafe is a minimalist concept with retro decoration on the walls. The dominant golden yellow light filled the room. The seat they were occupying was currently at the end near the window with synthetic leaves creeping over it. The four humans who were sitting opposite were busy with their own thoughts until the woman opened her voice.

“Alfa .…” The woman stared intently with a sad look there. “For a long time not meeting you. Are you good?”

“Yes. As you can see Nelly.” He casually replied, but without a smile.

Tiara scanned and widened her eyes.

Nelly's? So was this Alfa's former lover's woman before marrying her?

Does Alfa hate him? why is it so cold like this?

Nelly was disappointed because she had hoped she would have a warm conversation with him.

The order came to save the situation. They ended up drowning with a glass in front of them.

“Week? I can't.” Alfa immediately replied without a second thought.

Davian proposes his body to a table closer to Alfa, preparing to start a debate.

“You are really good. Just say yes, then everything will be yes, and say no, then all will be no.” A cynical look appeared, and not the usual Davian.

“What do you mean? I'll call Dony later.” Alfa frowned trying to digest the words of her best friend.

“You're busy? How is Mama?” Nelly. But it was just extinct because Alfa hurriedly replied.

Tiara who had brought the glass closer to the mouth to sip Flavoured Teanya froze for an instant. There were invisible incisions that began to melt the pain in his heart. Nelly seemed to want to be close to her husband. Moreover, he still called his in-laws by the name of Mama? He was upset by himself about the images of intimacy that had been lived by the lovers before Tiara was present in Alfa's life.

“Iya I'm busy.” His embrace on Tiara's shoulder slipped off. Then tidied up the jacket he was wearing before then looked at his wife with a smile. “Spend your drink Tiara, we'll be home soon.”

“You've been busy since Alfa, but I'm proud of you. You've always been yourself. I'd love to meet Mama, it's been a long time since I haven't seen you either.” Nelly tried to melt Alfa's cold gaze with her gentle words as she mightily. But it seems, the current Alpha is not the original Alfanya.

His mistake made him regret deeply as soon as he found out that Alfa had found a new heart patch, even marrying him immediately. He also regretted stalling until his romantic relationship with a long time, not immediately thought to be married, and was complacent with his own pleasure by cheating on the back of the man. Nelly's eyes are getting hot. He has not managed to get up. Stared at him with the nanar two lovebirds in front of him alternated.

He still has a chance, right? Still have, right? Shouts in the heart.

“For what?” Alfa knows what Nelly's closeness to her Mama is like. He does not want any incident of his mother falling back to Nelly for a second time. Even if that happens, Alfa will not change anything and will still be with Tiara. He did not want to take back what he had thrown away. Her hand was too precious to even extend a hand to Nelly when the woman fell. Nelly hurt. And he was proud this time, because it had succeeded in making Nelly look up to him, begging for love.

“I just want to visit. Is that wrong?”

“Terusi to you.” Alfa stood up from her seat. “Davian, I'll go home first. I hope I can negotiate time. Because I really have an important event that I have to attend," he said looking at his best friend who had just stirred the coffee in front of him without drinking it.

Lazily, Davian raised his head and slowed his eyes to stare at Alfa. “Ya ...,” he said slowly.

“Good. I'm going home first.” Alfa held Tiara's hand again who was also standing up earlier as if showing off intimacy. Awkwardly, Tiara nodded her head to say goodbye. However, only Davian replied to her with a smile. Nelly prefers to throw her face away when she finds out Tiara is looking at her.

******

After Alfa and Tiara left the place, Nelly who was no longer strong enough to hold back tears, crying so badly. He spilled all the heavy burdens that felt so burdening his mind and heart. He's tired already. He no longer wanted to be hurt, but somehow, the pain still did not go away. Often comes without permission. Always struggling with his heart even though he did not want it. He betrayed Alpha. Nelly thought that Alfa would easily forgive him and continue their relationship, given Alfa's patient and loving nature.

Turns out he was wrong. Nelly lost. He could not take it lightly and arbitrarily for Alfa's patient attitude towards him and thought Alfa could not be angry.

“I want to forget the memory alone," he said still with tears flooding his cheeks.

Davian, who was just silent watching Nelly who was in tears, finally brought his seat closer to Nelly.

“All you can still get, baby.” Davian said firmly with a frown on the forehead that still appears there as well as sad over the pain experienced by the woman in front of him.

Nelly quickly turned her head and scanned Davian's face carefully.

“Originally you still want.” The man rubbed a little tear on Nelly's cheek with his index finger, making Nelly swallow.

What does this Davian mean?
