The Sweetest Harsh
Episode 42 - Different

The woman stopped talking. The words of the absorbent vow he was about to throw evaporated just like that, changing with an unblinking gaze when met with a flat gaze of light brown eyeballs across there.

“Nona.” The waiter who was still standing behind the woman again greeted her to ascertain if this VIP guest in front of her still needed anything.

“Leave me,” snapped while waving his hand as a sign of expulsion.

The servant also politely lowered his head to say goodbye even though he was no longer noticed by the interlocutor.

Without taking a look, the woman in a short peach-colored dress with red flowers stepped closer to the table where Alfa and Tiara were sitting opposite there, more precisely, focusing his full attention on Alfa alone and ignoring Tiara who was there with a questionable surprised expression.

Alfa who had known who the woman who had come at the wrong time then looked up and put the camera on the table that had been in her grasp. Be prepared for everything that might happen in that place, whether the woman's pleasantries, or her seduction attitude will be blatant.

The tiara who was still in her grip noticed the movements of the Alpha and the woman alternated with frowning. Does her husband know that woman? Why does Alfa's attitude seem indifferent?

Just now Tiara clasped her hands at Alfa to invite her to speak, the tall woman who was so tall had first aired her voice.

“I don't think we'll meet this soon here Alfa,” always with a very obvious dislike tone, showing a cynical face with both hands folded in front of the chest. “This table, my place. Can you please move? Me and my partner have reserved this seat.”

A flabbergasted Alpha gets a sudden attack from the haughty woman he thought would seduce him. A sense of pleasure just appeared in his heart. He was so happy when he knew at once that the woman he was about to be betrothed to turned him down. Alfa did not have to bother anymore to avoid or do things that squeeze the mind and sweat to escape from the ridiculous matchmaking of her mother.

Alfa said loudly, “I first came and the waiter did not give any information that this seat you have rented. So, please find another seat.” The man raised his hand and tilted as if to randomly show that there were still many empty seats in the place that he could still sit.

The woman looked at the whole of Alfa, from head to toe, then casually said with ridicule. “I don't know what exactly I can get from you. Loser who has no future.” His eyes glanced for a moment at the unconscious Tiara as if it was an invisible shadow and was completely ignored by him.

“You …."The two brow lentik of the woman was raised with a face-judging expression. “You're her lover?” Smiling mockingly. “Suit once. Men do not know lucky with women who seek profit but are not lucky.”

Instantly Tiara gaped and her expression turned grim. Not knowing how he had to behave with a woman he did not know that suddenly invited him to war. Oh, it turns out that everyone knows fully about Alfa who became the crown prince of the Jonah family but preferred his own path and built his own business. Does it look bad in people's eyes? Being the son of a rich man who does not want to continue the family business is it a disgrace? Tiara is really happy at this time with whatever circumstances they live. The woman was even grateful when Alpha was willing to accept her self that clearly had that imperfection.

Alpha growling. “Karina!” The man stood up from his seat making Tiara spontaneously look up with her heart racing while the woman stepped back one step to receive a bluff from Alfa.

“You're angry? Means it is true,“ ketusnya then turn around to leave the place. “I go, I will not be able to feed food with a romantic view of the nuts like you,” his ridicule again. Karina left just like that after saying her last words, leaving Alfa still reeling in emotion and Tiara bowed in wounds.

The clanging sound of the elevator that sounded a little far from where they were sitting became a sign that the woman had actually left the rooftop bar.

With a gamang and a weakened expression of body movement, Alfa lowered her chair to then circle around the table and approached the silent Tiara from earlier, dragging the chair next to her and sitting there.

The woman moved her head slowly looking at Alfa who was looking at her heartily. With the defense that had almost escaped, Alfa hugged the woman tightly. Raise his head so that the clear circle does not come out of his hiding place. His chest grew increasingly rumbling as he felt Tiara's body tremble within his chest. Woman crying. He did not feel strongly that his wife should continue to accept such reproach.

Tiara means a lot to him. He'll never let go, however.

“I've met with Alfa .. by accident.” Karina looked at the woman in front of her with a grim expression. “He already has a lover? Why does Alpha's taste change that way? Does he prefer the appearance of a simple girl but has a wild soul?” he said with a dislike tone.

Helmia breathed a long breath. One hand stretched out to grasp the back of the girl sitting blocked by the table in front of him. “She's his wife.” Helmia. “But he could not bring happiness to Alfa at all, especially to us his parents. Tiara couldn't give Alpha offspring," he quickly attacked.

Karina widened her eyes. I can't believe Helmia's words. The woman did not think. Why could Alfa have gone wrong like this? He once knew about the man's relationship with his model. Alfa's romanticism with the women she saw in the bar rooftop alone had shocked her. Apparently, that woman was his wife? Oh, why should he fall into this weird affair?

To be honest, he had put his heart on Alpha a long time ago. However, the man was not the type of handsome man that he could easily persuade, moreover, he was already left one step behind with Nelly, who was not, so he prefers not to bring himself closer to the man.

“Aibi wants to ask them for a divorce?” Karina raised an eyebrow with a questionable face expression that was not made up, because it was completely confused by this unsuspecting situation.

“Of course. But auntie please, you must make your meeting with this Alpha set correctly, as if without any coercion. You have to be close to the natural way. I think it's gonna be more of a hit for her than you being too aggressive. Do not let him realize that you are approaching him so that this plan runs smoothly.” Helmia lectured him with a series of command words that Karina was trying to quickly catch her point.

“But Aunty .. I still feel disappointed in him and he is still upset with me. Yesterday I accidentally made a fuss when they were both at a restaurant, and Alfa's attitude, still the same as before,” grumbled by poking her pink lips.

“That's exactly a good start for you. Alfa won't notice if you're approaching her. Keep going, and in time, don't forget to make her fall in love with you. Who knew hate would be love and love would be hate? Nature will do the selection, right? Which is best for us which is not.” Helmia shrugged and smiled knotfully.

Karina looked dreamy with a pias face full of all considerations.

Once again, the woman who should be a supporter the better the relationship between their two children, firing again the words arrow, “You still like it, right Karina? I have opened the gate for you, you just step up and determine your attitude,”.

Karina looked at Helmia to confirm the answer to her question. His lips folded and doubt appeared in a glimpse of his face.

“They are still easy to separate if you act immediately. Short relationships usually do not imprint too deep, right?” Helmia moved her face to reassure the doubtful-looking girl in front of her.

“I just hope, I'm not in the wrong step this time.” Karina finally spoke in a low tone. “I don't want to damage people's relationships but ... but-” The huffiness starts to appear there and immediately Helmia interrupts.

“Trust.” Helmia's grip on the back of the girl's hand tightened.

“You'll be Madam Alfa later. Everyone will respect you because you are a famous woman who of course many people know how to trace your steps. Being Alfa's wife is a plus for you. All roads will soon be wide open, for your career and also for the life of Alfa." Again the woman tried to convince. Before long, he let go of the hand.

Helmia sat leaning back with a sip of hot tea that began to warm up in her cup. Karina who was only speechless and occasionally looked at Helmia was enough to be a satisfactory answer for her.

He knew which woman or girl could not possibly not be attached to the charm of his son. Why is Alpha so stupid? If only the only boy would obey all his commands, then the glamorous luxurious life that many people dream of is on him.

Helmia drank back her tea with a mixed taste in her chest. This girl looks different. He was sure that Alfa would be enamored of this type of girl who seemed to shy away from him, like when he was attracted to Tiara before.

Helmia concluded everything from her own point of view, without wanting to see, how her son's life was now ....
