Look at me, my man!

"To-Tommy." Mayra called Tommy in a stark way.For years she had not met the man, because when she married Adrian, Tommy went abroad.

Tommy's heart beats twice as fast when he sees Mayra in front of him, the woman he still loves to this day. In the past, he left because he wanted to forget about Mayra, let alone Mayra already owned by another man, and he did not expect his return today to meet the woman, the woman he had been avoiding so much.

"Mayra," call Tommy.

Mayra smile. He dared not look at Tommy for a long time, because he was too embarrassed to look at the man, because he had openly rejected Tommy and preferred Adrian. But now, Adrian was like this to her.

"Oh, you're in Russia" said Mayra who ventured to ask.

Tommy also nodded. "You want to enjoy a cup of milk?" ask Tommy.

Mayra smiled bitterly, even Tommy remembered all about her, where Mayra only came to the cafe to enjoy a cup of milk.

"Yes" answered Mayra.

"You're going?" ask Mayra again.

"No, if you want me to be with you, I'll be with you" Tommy replied.

Again Mayra's heart felt strange when he heard Tommy's offer. Adrian never accompanied him.

"Mayra," called Tommy, awakening Mayra from her daydream until Mayra nodded.

"If you don't mind" replied Mayra.

Tommy turned around, followed by Mayra behind him, and they chose a table in the corner. "How are you, Mayra? You okay?" ask Tommy.

Mayra shakes. "No, I'm not okay" replied Mayra. But before long, he realized, "i mean, I'm fine."

Tommy narrowed his eyes when he saw Mayra who was speaking the wrong way. "You're not okay, are you?"

Hearing the statement, a clear circle immediately fell from Mayra's eye pelup. A very simple question, but no one ever asked him.

"I'm not okay" Mayra replied, looking down.

Tommy thrust the drinking water on the table at Mayra, of course, after he opened the bottle. Again, Tommy's treatment breaks Mayra's heart. It is more beautiful to be loved than to love.

Soon, their orders arrived. Tommy immediately keeps Mayra's order in front of him, as well as him who keeps his own order.

"If you want to tell me, you can tell me, Mayra," Tommy said.

Can Tommy hope that Mayra gives up on Adrian? After that, he will advance. No matter that Mayra was once married to another man, that was how Tommy thought.

"Next time, I'll tell you," replied Mayra. He smiled, but his smile was behind the wound until Tommy nodded, no longer forcing Mayra to speak.

Throughout the cafe, Mayra looked down more, while Tommy continued to look at Mayra with a sparkling gaze, as if he missed this woman until finally Tommy's phone rang. One call came from my father.

"Dad's? Oh, all right, I'll be there now, " said Tommy.

"Maira," call Tommy.

"Go, Tommy. I'm fine on my own" Mayra said.

"No, I'm not leaving now. I'll keep you company until you get out of here" replied Tommy, deciding to postpone his departure, because he still wanted to be with Mayra until Mayra chuckled. He did not want to trouble Tommy, until in the end he got up from his seat and then took Tommy out.

"Let me know if anything happens, Mayra. I've been in Russia a long time" Tommy said. She had only been to Russia for a while, but somehow when she heard that Mayra and her husband were not okay, Tommy decided to wait a little longer. Who knows Mayra's back to being hers, that's how Tommy thought.

After a short conversation with Tommy, Mayra and Tommy get into their cars. Tommy will go somewhere, and Mayra will go to his parents' house.

"Mayra, where's your husband? Mommy saw on Alice's Instagram that your husband had come from Korea" Amelia said as Mayra walked into the house.

"Ah, she was spending her time with Alice. I was invited, but I wanted to go here" said Mayra, of course she was lying.

"Mayra, are you okay?" ask Amelia. His feelings said that his daughter was not okay. She gave birth to Mayra, she knows the look on her daughter's face. After her marriage, Mayra rarely returned to the mansion. She spent more time at her husband's house, and Amelia could feel the obvious change in Mayra.

Mayra chuckles. "Mommy, what am I? I'm doing fine. If you don't believe me, Mommy just call my husband" Mayra said, hoping that she would believe him.

"Yes, let's go in" said Amelia. He grabbed Mayra by the shoulder, then they walked towards the dining table.

***

"Daddy, is Daddy going to Korea soon?" alice asked when they were in the car. They had just been exercising in the park, and now they were heading home.

Adrian, who was driving, turned and chuckled. "Tomorrow Daddy's gone" he replied.

"Why so fast, Daddy? Daddy's only here three days. Is Daddy not tired of going back to Korea-Russia?" alice asked innocently, not knowing that Adrian was still in Russia.

"Daddy has a lot of work. You, don't you, know Daddy is busy right now" he replied.

"Dad, have you never messaged Mommy Mayra?" Alice suddenly asked making Adrian choke.

"Why indeed?" ask back Adrian.

The fifteen-year-old girl looked at her father intently. She is no longer a child, she understands the situation where Mayra often asks her about Adrian calling her or not. When she answered the father on the phone, Mayra's countenance changed and Alice realized it.

"Why indeed?" ask Adrian again.

"No, I'm just asking. Is it true Daddy never texted Mommy Mayra?" ask Alice to make sure.

"Often, Daddy sends him messages often" Adrian replied. Of course he lied, because if he was honest Alice would ask a heavier question.

After a long journey, finally the car driven by Adrian reached his home. Adrian and Alice went down, and they walked inside.

"Mommy, Mommy," called Alice, as usual she immediately looked for Mayra.

"Auntie Pamela, did Auntie see my Mommy?" ask Alice.

"Oh, Miss Mayra just went out. He said he was going to his parents' house" Pamela replied.

"Mayra's gone?" Suddenly Adrian's voice came from behind, until Pamela nodded.

"Yes, sir," he said.

"Oh yes Daddy, let's catch up with Mommy Mayra" said Alice. Adrian took a breath.

"Daddy's tired, we'll catch up later in the afternoon. Okay?" adrian's proposal.

Normally, there was Mayra in that room, but Mayra was now not there and somehow, Adrian could sigh. At least, he didn't have to see the woman. Without Adrian knowing, maybe later he will look for Mayra.

Adrian changed his clothes and the man laid his body on the bed, then after that fiddled with his phone and before long, a call came into Adrian's phone. Mayra's name was plastered there, until Adrian finally lifted her with a heavy sigh, because he was afraid Mayra asked to pick her up.

"Hello, May?" hello Adrian.

Mayra was silent across there. "You're home yet?" answer Mayra.

"I'm home" he answered.

Mayra fell silent again, hoping Adrian would ask her whereabouts, but it seemed futile. Adrian seemed not interested in talking to him, until Mayra finally said.

"Oh, please tell Alice today I want to stay at Mommy and Daddy's house, I'll be home tomorrow" Mayra said. He's straight to the point.

"Mayra," call Adrian.

"Yes, I know you have to go to Korea. Be careful on the road, see you," said Mayra, immediately closing the call made Adrian feel strange. Normally, Mayra would always hold her back if she returned home to Korea. Mayra will always ask him to accompany her to other places before Adrian leaves, although Adrian never mengubris Mayra's wishes. But now?

Adrian shook his head. Isn't that nice?

Adrian immediately laid his body on the bed to fall asleep.

***

Mayra looked ahead. The woman's eyes were glazed. Expectations yesterday he could blow his wedding anniversary candle with Adrian, he hopes Adrian gives a gift. Not fancy, but with a kiss on the cheek. She wished for a word or prayer from her husband, but it turned out to be in vain. Then when she woke up, she did not see Adrian beside her, it was so painful for Mayra.

In the end, Mayra raised her leg. The beautiful woman laid her body on the bed, then fell asleep. At first, he did not know that Adrian was going to Korea and just guessed, but Adrian called his name just like he was going to say something. Mayra believes Adrian will go again to Korea, because Adrian will never be long if he comes home, it will only be two or three days.

Mayra's heart becomes mellow when she meets Tommy, reminding him of the past. In his present shadow, he imagined what if he had chosen Tommy instead of Adrian, it was certain he was happier.

Mayra wiped away her tears, but no matter how hard Mayra held herself back, the cry kept coming out until the poor woman fell asleep.

***

Tommy was running his car at a moderate speed. The handsome man looked a little dreamy, but when he came to his senses, a smile unceasingly expanded on his handsome face. For some reason, the meeting with Mayra today feels flowery. She also feels drifting when she learns that Mayra is unhappy with her marriage. Shouldn't he be the one taking over the role by becoming the hero for Mayra to have that woman?

"Mayra, if you had chosen me then, maybe you'd be happy now" Tommy's monologue.

After a long journey, finally the car driven by Tommy arrived at the company owned by his father. The man got out of the car and went inside and, as usual, he was greeted by several staff members and walked towards his father's office.

"You sure you're leaving tomorrow?" ask the father.

"I'm not leaving and I'm going to stay here longer" Tommy said, leaving his father confused, but Tommy has rarely stayed in Russia for long periods.

"Daddy will set you up with Daddy's friend's son" he replied.

Instantly, Tommy's eyes rounded.

"No need Dad, I already have a lover," said Tommy, who Tommy called a lover is Mayra. Somehow, feeling sure, he'll get the woman.

***

Daddy," call Alice from the outside.

Adrian who was playing mobile phone, immediately got up from his seat then the man immediately walked towards the door.

"What's wrong?" ask Adrian.

"Daddy, let's go get Mommy Mayra," he asked.

"Alice, Mommy Mayra called Daddy and said that tonight she was going to stay at her parents' house" Adrian said.

Alice seemed to think. "Yes, just take me there. I want to stay with Mommy" said Alice.

"Daddy today is the last day here, why don't you want to spend some time with Daddy?" ask Adrian. Alice thought.

"don't want. Come quickly, if not I go with the driver," Alice asked.

Again, Adrian could only sigh harshly when he heard Alice's words, so inevitably he nodded, agreeing with his son's words.

"You're excited to see Mayra. Tomorrow, 'right, also meet," Adrian said when he was driving his car.

"Before going to bed, Mommy will stroke my hair. If there's no Mommy Mayra, I can't sleep" Alice said, bringing Adrian back into driving focus.

'Mayra, you're so kind to my son, but I'm sorry I haven't been able to give my heart to you, ' Adrian said.

After a long journey, finally the car that was driven by Adrian arrived at the residence of his in-laws. Adrian and Alice get out of the car, then they get in and when they get in, they are greeted by Gabriel and Amelia until Adrian immediately asks where Mayra is, as a courtesy to his two in-laws. In fact, he did not want to know what his wife was doing and where.

Adrian is now standing in front of his wife's room, while Alice is at the bottom. Adrian knocked on the door, but there was no word from the inside until the man decided to open the door and go inside, apparently Mayra was asleep. He walked slowly, then sat down beside Mayra. She sees Mayra's face fixed, Mayra's eyes look very puffy and Adrian knows Mayra is crying.

As a grown man, Adrian understands very well how Mayra feels, and he believes Mayra is crying because of her attitude as well. Slowly, Adrian moved his hand and he unconsciously stroked his wife's hair.

Just as Adrian is awakened and will keep his hand away from his wife's head, Mayra awakens. Mayra smiled when she was still not fully aware, because she thought Adrian was only a shadow, because Adrian never caught up with her wherever she went.

But before long, Mayra realized that the one in front of her was real, because Adrian rubbed his hair again.

"Adrian," call Mayra. He immediately rushed up from his seat, then looked at Adrian.

Adrian smiling. "Sorry to wake you up" said Adrian. It seems, this time Adrian slightly lowered his ego by smiling at Mayra, making Mayra fixated.

"Oh, what are you doing here?" mayra asked, she neutralized the look on her face until Adrian cleared his throat.

"I'm delivering Alice. Alice wants to see you. Sorry to bother you, Mayra," Adrian said.

"It's okay, let's just go home," Mayra said making Adrian sigh in relief because he was not comfortable staying at his second-in-law's house, where his two in-laws sometimes always ask their children.

***

Adrian drives his car at a moderate speed. He turned his head towards Alice who was busy with her phone, and he also looked towards Mayra who was staring towards the window. This was the situation Alice wanted, but somehow she felt strange about this situation, where no one was conversing in the car.

"Daddy, let's have dinner outside" said Alice, "yes, right, Mommy?"

Alice asked the smiling Mayra. "As far as you go, baby," said Mayra.

In the end, Adrian had no choice. The man took Mayra to the restaurant before they came home. They got out of the car.
