The Temptation of the Former
Pillow Talk

Johan took his cell phone that was in his pants pocket. It appears Johan is calling someone, who has already made an appointment with him.

Everyone in the room was increasingly curious about what Johan was doing.especially Vita, she had been sitting while clutching tightly to her dress, her forehead began to sweat. I don't know why he had such a bad feeling about this.

"Come in" Johan said with someone behind the phone.

The sound of the door opening, in a dark blue suit, Albert entered the room. Everyone was wondering who the man was, but not so with Toni, she knew very well who the man before her was right now.

Albert has been working with the King group for three years. Although classified as a new company, but the company Albert able to keep the trust King group so far.

Another Toni, another Vita, for a moment he looked confused but a second later, he immediately rounded his eyes, he stood up from his seat with his whole body trembling.

That night, Vita remembers that night she and the man in front of her now, through a hot night she could never forget. The night where her chastity which she had kept was for Johan, was taken for granted.

Face with sideburns on the right left temples, brown eyes, and dimples on the left side of his face. Vita was drunk, but she could clearly see Albert's face on it all night.

Albert stepped up, approaching Johan who was now standing in the middle of the large family crowd Johan and Vita.

"Albert, why are you here?" tanya Toni was confused.

"Sorry to bother you, but I have a little business here" Albert told Toni.

"Tell me what you want to say" said Johan, now standing beside Albert.

Albert nodded his head, smiling at Johan, he met Johan once, and he knew he was a good man. Albert glanced at Vita who was standing not far from him, actually so heavy saying this, when Vita was so happy today.

But Albert knows that the way Vita gets happiness is at the expense of other people's happiness, and it's wrong.

Somehow, Albert wanted to open Vita's eyes to see a world so vast, infinite only to the first love that it doesn't have to have.

Although at first Vita was only a runaway and a place of impingement, but the feeling changed when Albert knew the seedlings he planted, growing well in Vita's womb.

"Include me Albert and I are here to cancel this marriage .. because Vita is pregnant with my child" Albert said without hesitation.

Everyone in the room stared at Vita. They are shocked, they are confused if Vita is pregnant with another boy, then why Vita will marry Johan.

Vita, who heard Albert's statement, suddenly became weak. He could no longer even support himself, he sat on the floor. Dismissed was his last hope, his last hope of having Johan.

Both parents Vita, directly approached Vita, they carried Vita sitting on the sofa, Mama Vita was no longer able to swaddle her tears. He was disappointed, angry and in disbelief.

"Vita answered my mother, is it true that the man said, you are not pregnant with Johan's child but her child?" mama Vita asked with teary eyes.

Vita confronts her mother with eyes that have released a clear liquid, she is destroyed, more than anything this is not the marriage she dreamed of. A marriage that is destroyed instantly because of the results of his own actions.

"Vita! Your mother replied, is it true what the man said?" snapped papa Vita with mixed feelings.

Everyone in the room did not gasp in shock, as they heard the voice of a Benny Irawan yelling at the single princess who was always in pride.

Vita looks at Albert hatefully, as Albert's marriage becomes like this, ruined, chaotic. Albert also saw Vita, now they were looking at each other. With a look that could not be separated from Albert, Vita answered his papa's question.

"I was pregnant because of it. But ... I will never admit a depraved person like him as the father of my son," Vita said, looking at Albert.

Mama Vita cried hysterically at her son's statement. While his papa was sitting on the floor, they were ashamed of his extended family, and Johan's extended family.

Johan felt a great relief, finally he did not have to waste his life with a woman he did not love.

Maria approached Toni who was still quietly in her place. When things go awry like this, what to do, all the invitations are scattered, and many guests have also arrived.

"How is this, what should we say to the guests who come," Mary asked her husband.

Toni was silent, without saying anything, and left the room. He was angry, he was disappointed to Vita who he had trusted more than his own son even threw dirt on his face.

Malik and his father caught up with Toni, fearing that Toni's heart disease would suddenly recur. Maria sat back on the sofa because she felt her gaze that had begun to twitch. Maria never thought about why something like this could happen to her family.

Johan, who saw his mother like that, went straight to the mother and sat beside her, gently embracing Mary.

"No Jo, the mother who should be apologizing for not trusting you" Maria said.

Malik's mother-in-law also sat down next to Maria, trying to calm her sister-in-law down. He was very concerned about what happened to Alexander's family.

Benny got up from his position, with great difficulty he supported his body which still felt weak. He walked over to Albert, who was still standing in his place. With both eyes reddened, and hands clenched, Benny raised his fist over Albert's stomach, and Albert fell to the floor grimacing in pain.

Albert was silent without a fight, he thought this was nothing compared to the virginity that had been taken away. Vita kept crying in her mother's arms. If asked to choose, now he wants to disappear from the world that never spied on him.

Benny clutches tightly in Albert's collar of angry, disappointed, embarrassed and whatever words are capable of representing the broken feelings of a failed father.

"This marriage will continue and you will be the groom, I don't want my granddaughter to be born without a father" Benny told Albert.

"I'm willing," Albert said straightforwardly.

Vita can only resign, after all his life is no longer useful, his happiness is lost as the hope is now shattered.

Albert looked back at Vita, he wondered if his decision was right. I don't know, but he promised himself, will turn Vita's heart which is currently only focused on one name yes it is Johan. He's not a bad guy, but he's not a good guy anymore after what he did that night, and today.

The wedding was still going on as it should be, although the guests wondered why the groom opened Johan Alexander as per the invitation, Shame could not be hidden from the look on the faces of the two parents Vita, but the rice has become porridge, everything has happened and this is the consequence.

Vita just sat on the lap with a blank look, no look of happiness emanated from her face. Only Albert continued to stand up to greet the guests who came.

Johan and the family decide to go home, because if it is there, it will only raise questions from the guests who come. Benny apologized to Alexander's extended family but, sorry it was not enough to remove the disappointment that Toni and family experienced.

Although never said it directly but Toni was so sorry and felt guilty to her son Johan. Toni just sat in the car with Maria.

Johan seems not able to breathe a sigh of relief because he is still thinking about a problem, especially if not Jihan. He still hasn't found a bright spot about where Jihan is.

After arriving home, no one spoke, neither Johan nor his parents immediately went to their respective rooms. It seems like they both need time to calm down.

Johan took off all the clothes that were attached to his body, until only his underwear remained. He stood under the shower, feeling the cold water that was now soaking his tired body.

After all that has ended,

Johan still has to solve one more problem: finding Jihan's whereabouts.

Raksa and Kinan have just returned from the Vita wedding, they are shocked by the replaced groom, but they are also relieved that Johan did not marry Vita.

Now they are in a restaurant. While at the party location, Raksa and Kinan went straight home without enjoying the dishes available there.

Kinan seemed agitated, as he felt like telling the truth about Jihan's whereabouts, but he was afraid that Raksa would be angry at her for saying so just now.

"I want to say something, but, can you promise not to be angry with me," Kinan said hesitantly.

"Tell me, you know I can never be angry with you" Raksa said.

Kinan gripped his knees tightly, he was stunned for a moment, trying to gather courage from to tell all the truth he knew. He re-enforced his position with eyes that stared fixedly at Raksa.

"Actually, I .. I am," Kinan said hesitantly.

"What actually?" ask Raksa who is even more curious.

"Actually I know where Jihan is," Kinan said quickly as he closed his eyes.

"What!" said Raksa who was shocked by Kinan's statement.
