The Sweetest Harsh
Episode 54 - Decision

The large room was bright by the light. The glass wall that filled one side of the wall managed to become the only source of lighting for the white painted room on the twenty-eighth floor of the apartment building. Sitting down a woman, crossing her legs with her body she rests on the back of the sofa behind the giant glass window. Both hands he folds in front of his chest. The blue eyeball with plump eyelashes looked on with a fretful look and a deep frown that was in tune with his heart that was being crushed. Staring with a pushy view, even though out there, the sky looks blue with its bright, presenting a typical panorama of the city with all its busyness.

Carina. The tall woman is now being hit by an extraordinary dilemma to tear apart her heart. Being in two choices that he did not want at all, but he had to choose. The woman tapped her fist on her forehead repeatedly with her eyes clenched, as if the movement was able to break the heavy weight that was now being propped up by her tiny head.

Alpha. The man who has suddenly reappeared in his life. His feud all those years ago with the man was still firmly stuck in his brain. An event in which she is becoming an amateur model who is pursuing a career. The absence of someone close to him was a big influence in everything related to decision making. Karina used to be interested and wanted to approach Alfa for the purposes of smooth business. He was tempted to give bribes to the man to smooth out his shooting selection plan. The woman did not expect, Alfa the Photographer turned out to be the son of one of the owners of property modeling which at that time was carrying his name. Alfa who knew the bad habits of Karina immediately rejected him outright to become a fashion model that the man was working on.

It had failed before it could begin to approach the man, he also had to bear the shame of the explosive anger because Alfa had opened up blatantly his intention to be able to pass the super model selection in a bad way. Everyone threw it away, until one day, Helmia came as an angel who lifted her out of distress.

From there she began to live the model world from below and met Azhar, a man who has now become her ex-husband. Rise up from hole one and step up and fall back in a bigger hole in front of him. The world seemed to be playing tricks on him, when slowly the happiness that seemed to challenge him to reach was opening his door, Azhar left him, and, leaving a gaping wound that can not heal after taking short happiness Karina who was enjoying time to be a wife.

"Oh, Azhar ...." Karina turned her head shut. The memory of the man's laughter that was chatting with other women, for some reason did not want to get out of his head. Making him even more tormented by the pain that continues to burn every time the memory comes before his eyes.

Karina sighs. His eyelids suddenly wet and full of clear circles that increasingly flood and eventually melt just past the cheeks. He remembered Helmia threatening him. Between marrying Alfa or leaving her career. Be married? Marry Alfa?

Right now, he still did not accept himself being thrown away and with as happy as his nose, Helmia asked him to marry a married Alfa? Crazy one! This is fucking crazy!

Karina could not imagine that she had to act like the woman who had taken her husband. He was angry and held a grudge that he could not vent, but, not in this way he also threw his sense of regret. What about that innocent woman who became Alfa's wife? Should she have the same pain as him?

The woman was sitting on the floor carpet. Hugging her who was surrounded by solitude and various things that stuck in her mind. No. gabe. He will not taste a little of that. Not forever.

Slowly, Karina turned her head to the side and found her reflection in a large mirror at the end of the wall. Her pretty eyebrows are raised next door. Find an interesting idea that suddenly floated in his brain. Asking for approval.

A grin appeared on the woman's lips. He has to do something. In spirit, the woman got up from her seat, grabbed the car keys from the sofa table and stepped quickly towards the apartment door.

"Is everything ready?" Alfa immediately asked at the first second her phone call was lifted.

"It has. All preparations are complete. The paintings and photographs you chose have been displayed. You just need to check." The voice across the phone said quickly and firmly. Execute commands neatly according to the instructions given.

"What about the guests? Has the invitation reached your destination?" Alfa asked again. Leaning your back against the wall with one hand on your pants.

"It has. Yesterday I finished it." Answer lightly. "You're traveling?"

"Yes. I was in the studio. I'm going to go to the exhibition hall from here on my birthday" he said. "alright. You can go home if everything's in order" he concluded, almost ending the call.

"Alpha?"

The man raised an eyebrow. Surprised to hear the sudden call. But unabashedly, he responded. "Yes Leon. What's up?"

"Did Davian call you? Why did he just disappear without any news?" Leon asked with a deep frown on his forehead. Revealing the growing curiosity that culminated when he could not contact the man at all.

There was a slight smile emerging from Alfa's lips before she spoke. "Davian is gone from this country. Of course because he was sorry. Forgetit. There's still a lot of other people I want to trust to help me." Alfa shrugged her shoulders.

"Yes. And that's his own choice. I didn't force him. Let him drown in his regret for betraying a friend as good as myself. You know Leon? There is no sense of the most stifling in the human heart except regrets and deeds that make others disappointed. Because usually after being disappointed, there is no longer a second chance," he said.

There was a loud noise across the phone. "Yes. Youre right. It's like that. All right, see you next time. Call me if you need anything."

"Hm." Then he hung up the phone.

Alfa then hurt his phone and rushed back towards his wife and friends who were busy with shooting activities. Tiara's coming this time. The woman actually whined spoiled at him in order to be allowed to accompany his activities in the studio. Looking for comfort to expel discomfort in his stomach that increasingly shows a change.

Just as Alfa was about to wrap her arms around Tiara, a slender-eyed woman called out her name from behind.

"Gheo!" Exclaims.

Immediately, the man turned his head followed by Tiara who looked over as well.

"It's great to meet you and get a chance to accept your photo shoot contract with you. I hope I can work well and satisfy your taste" he said. The young lady with shoulder-length black hair and a black-colored dress that seemed to be attached fittingly to her body was smiling broadly. She is one of the fashion photography models that is now soared thanks to Tiara Fashion which fully supports her modeling career.

For a moment, the woman looked at Tiara. Stare with a judging expression within a few seconds of his gaze before then weighing in to speak. "You're a photographer too?" The model girl looked thoughtful in her gaze. Eliminate the smile that had arisen earlier when talking to Alfa.

"He-" Alfa was about to speak, but his wife hurriedly interrupted.

"I'm Gheo's assistant." Tiara said with a big smile and a satisfied eye to her husband who now turned his head quickly, looking at his wife who was now sitting with each other with the woman.

Alpha who did not expect his wife would answer so also squinted. The embrace of his arm that had been delayed for a while also landed tightly on Tiara's shoulders. Makes the woman gasp.

"He's my assistant, my wife and everything to me. It was Tiara Nichole. The daughter of the owner of Tiara Fashion who is now carrying your name as a model of her clothes." Alfa said proudly with a tone. "Can you just keep a little attitude and not judge someone based on appearance? Know it? My wife has never dressed as fancy as you, but her heart is glittering with good things." Cecar until without feeling the narrow-eyed woman gaped. "Remember well. Don't let you regret that I canceled the contract," he threatened to pass from the face of the beautiful model with an increasingly tight embrace on Tiara's shoulders. Leaving the woman still silent in her place. Wallowing in everything he never thought possible.

"You .. You don't have to talk like that." Tiara said in a stammer. Her heart was racing as she had just heard the stern words from her husband that must have left the woman at a loss for words.

"Why? I just don't like anyone putting you down like that" Alfa replied as she rubbed Tiara's arm slowly. Showing protection and affection that is not playing games.

The cell phone he had on the pants pocket sounded. The man then loosened his embrace and answered quickly the call addressed to him.

"Alpha?" The hoarse voice next to his phone felt familiar to his ears. Alfa briefly looked at her phone screen, then frowned when she knew that there was no contact name on her phone. Back he focused on the voice that made him suddenly remember his meeting with a woman in the rooftop bar some time ago.

The karina?

"Yes." Yeah." Alfa replied with a loud expression.

"I want to meet. Can you take your time?" the answer.
