"What if I asked for all your shares in this cafe?" abizar without a stale base.

"Gue agreed." Without a second thought, Devan agreed.

Poor Abizar laughed wryly, "Bucin really, really," he mocked.

Devan is not liking. "Is there something funny? Ain't you the same bucin as your girlfriend?" said.

"It's not like you, Bang. I wouldn't give all my shares for love." Abizar stopped his laughter. He left a little smile on his lips. The man loves his property more than Selena.

"Basic stingy!" sneer Devan, then paused for a moment before he said again, "so what? We agreed?" Devan made sure again, but Abizar shook his head slowly.

"Gue, anyway, he wanted to agree, but I still can't take off Mbak Zee now, Bang. My parents must have been nagging."

"So, you intend to bind Kezia forever? He said you don't love him?" Devan took his seat, and said seriously to Abizar. His eyes were blotted with objections.

"Not so, I don't love him, but my papa legacy is more than lo's stock. So, I still think a thousand times to release Zee Mbak. Unless it's Mbak Zee who wants to be alone" Abizar said.

Devan is still flinching. In his heart he confirmed the words of Abizar. All decisions are in Kezia's hands. She remembers asking Kezia to run away from her marriage. The woman refused firmly. Then, what if it turns out Kezia who does not want to leave Abizar and maintain their marriage? Did Devan really have no chance.

"What are you talking about?" Alfath's voice caught Devan and Abizar's attention. The man who is good at cooking came while carrying the latest dessert from their cafe food menu.

Alfath sat down on Devan's left side, and then kept the dessert of sweet treats that he had brought on the table. "You're still talking about Kezia, yes" alfath guessed. He could read it from the tension on the faces of his two friends.

After storing his food, he switched to Devan's face. "Lo can't be selfish to keep your love going, Van. Kezia is not a free woman you can pursue anymore. He is Abi's wife" Alfath said.

"Lo doesn't understand, Al. They do not marry for love. They are both forced, and I feel sorry for Kezia if I have to suffer because of the same constrained marriage," Devan said.

"Gue understands, but whatever the reason they got married, it's none of your business anymore. Can you guarantee, if you've managed to damage their household, you can get Kezia's love?"

"Gue sure can. I'll put all the effort in, so Kezia's heart melts with my attention to him" Devan said confidently.

"Shy, so sure!" Abizar sneered softly, as this could not be heard by Devan.

"But lo will deal with your own family. They will hate you, if they know you want to take the wife of your own sodara."

"Even if I get kicked out of the house, I don't care" Devan said.

Alfath exhaled a rough breath while shaking his head. He did not think that Devan had been blinded by love, while Abizar did not want to comment. He is also confused as to how to behave with Devan.

...******...

At night, Abizar was preparing all his needs to go to Japan in his room, and of course accompanied by Kezia.

"I'm a bird, take it off" said Kezia without taking his eyes off the phone he was playing. The woman did not want to help prepare the needs of the husband who was about to leave. He even seems busy himself.

"I'm serious, Ma'am. Bang Devan is love dead with Ma'am. He will do anything to get love Ma'am. Doesn't she have any feelings at all?"

The words made Kezia's hand stop rolling the screen of her phone. His head looked up at Abizar while twitching in confusion. "I never loved Devan" Kezia said honestly.

Abizar pulled one corner of his lips. Somehow he felt happy to hear Kezia's confession. "Good then, but I pity Bang Devan. He's a real Sadboy" Abizar joked with a meaningful smile.

Kezia felt a little guilty. He never gave Devan false hope, but he knew the man's feelings were so great for him. Unfortunately, Kezia cannot repay Devan's love, especially now that she is married to Abizar.

"You want to move forward, right?" Abizar's request made Kezia's daydreams crumble. Her eyes returned to her husband who was about to drag the suitcase on the floor.

"Udah finished?" kezia asked and replied a nod by Abizar. Kezia got out of bed and followed her husband outside.

Arriving in front of the house. Jiro was waiting in his car. There was also Devan who deliberately came to the house. Kezia and Devan's gaze momentarily met, but Kezia immediately turned her gaze in the other direction. He remembered Abizar's words. Kezia thought of not giving Devan a chance to approach him again, because Kezia did not want Devan to be more hurt.

...******...

The journey to Japan takes about seven hours. After arriving at his home, Abizar immediately called his wife. Ask if Devan is still bothering him. Kezia also said honestly if he deliberately stayed away from the man. Kezia does not want to give false hope.

"Good, Ma'am. As a wife, you have to be good at keeping yourself away from your husband." Like a wise husband, Abizar said that behind his phone call.

"Then as a husband, can you also take care of yourself when away from your wife?" Kezia asked back. Making Abizar unable to dwell, "I did that because I did not want to hurt Devan even more deeply. I just want her to be happy with another woman who can love her sincerely. Not just want to be a filial wife for you. After all, you are also not the best husband for me," Kezia added at length. Abizar could not deny it.

"Udah, deh, Ma'am. Don't make us fight again. Not yesterday we made peace. We've agreed, right, before we get divorced, each of us won't betray each other."

Yes, after the dispute that occurred between Kezia and Abizar. They also agreed to be fair. The two agreed not to be playful when they were husband and wife. Abizar also promised to decide Selena after she returned to Japan. Kezia only wants justice from Abizar's attitude that forbids him from being close to Devan.

After a few moments of conversation, their call was over. Abizar said to rest because he was tired on the trip, because the time has shown at 02.30 around the time.

A few minutes later, the call ended. Abizar's cell phone rang again. Abizar who had not slept was back awake, then looked at the screen of his phone. Plastered Selena's face which became the profile photo of the caller across there.

Both Abizar's eyes were completely blown away. The man told me he was going home on a flight tonight. Of course this was said when he had not made a deal with Kezia. Abizar completely forgot. He didn't know if Selena would reach him that soon.

"Hello, Honey. You're home yet?" greet Selena when Abizar has received the call.

"Udah, just a few minutes ago," replied Abizar.

"Tomorrow we'll meet, yeah. I miss you, too."

Abizar was silent for a moment. He remembered his promise to Kezia. However, hearing the spoiled voice of her lover, made her heart instantly melt away. Abizar immediately ignored the deal. After all, his wife would not know what he was doing when they were far away. He said confidently, "Of course, honey. I miss you too."
