My Boss, Is My Husband
The Painful Phrase

The dinner was a little quiet. Henga...!

"Actually.."

"Actually.."

Catch them at the same time.

Hanna chuckles. " You go first." Hanna.

Rey is deep.

"Mama's set the date for my engagement with Lara." Rey finally said.

Hanna was silent on the spot.

"I rejected it, but Mama insisted. He arranged the match before he knew you were back. And Mama can't cancel it anymore." Imbuh Rey with a sorry face.

Hanna was still silent. Look at Rey who looks wrong there.

Rey looked up at Hanna who had no comment at all. And keep silent a thousand languages.

Then, he suddenly laughed. What an awkward laugh.

"Then what's the problem? What makes you look so uninspired. Just do it, your mother's request." Hanna, act like she supports Aunt Lalita's decision.

Rey scrunched her forehead. "Then you?"

"What's wrong with me?" Ask Hanna pura stupid.

"Are we not..."

"We're friends, what's wrong? Even I'll attend your wedding if you invite." Hanna.

"What's? Friends?"

"Wantas? Do you think I'm gonna turn you back on?" Hanna chuckled again. "You're hoping too much, when I say we can be like we used to be. Our relationship is only in the past, but in the future. Only each one's." Hanna, still trying to control her feelings as strongly as she could. Not wanting her tears to fall before Rey at this moment.

"Maybe you've been misunderstanding all this time, let me be clear. Me, I don't have any feelings for you anymore. So, please live your life, even with me."

While Rey was only speechless, she thought Hanna had started to accept herself again, regardless of the match, she thought she would be able to return to the way she used to be with Hanna.

Leaving Rey who was still silent a thousand languages. Rey, it's still in place. Think back to Hanna!

It was quite painful, when Hanna admitted that she no longer loved him and wished them to live each other's lives. That's not what Rey wanted.

If only, what came out of Hanna's mouth was .. Asking her to call off the match and ask them to be the way they were, Rey promises to do so and will call off the match no matter what happens as long as Hanna asks for it. Rey just wanted to hear a confession from Hanna.

Hanna was back in the car, and then crying. She's just been happy with what's going on in life, with Rey's return and the day she spent with the man she loves, but..!

"Lord.. You're so mean to me!" Lirih Hanna's.

Rey scatters everything on the dining table, candles, dishes filled with food and glasses filled with wine.

He kept on being struck by Hanna's smile which could so easily let her go with other women. Wh why? Why can't Hanna love him?

*

Hanna returned to the apartment, crying in silence. The pain, there's nowhere to complain.

He slept in his stuff.

And when he woke up the next day, he had to re-show that he was okay in front of Rey.

Hanna was ready to start her day, she still had to work as usual. Or Rey would suspect.

Hanna went to the office as usual.

"For me, Miss Hanna." Greet Rey's secretary.

"Morning.." Reply Hanna, complete with a smile. When he entered the room, Rey did not come. The desk is still empty.

*

Rey just came to the office when Hanna was going out for lunch. They both sat at the elevator door.

"Would you come with me to go to lunch?" Tawar Hanna's.

"No, thank you." Rey, don't even look at Hanna. He just walked past Hanna.
