She's my Ex-husband

She's my Ex-husband
DMS 6'S


Flashbacks


Unintentionally, Elgar and Aden, who were walking down the street to check on the hotel, noticed something suspicious.


Aden was about to go up to the two men but Elgar held him back.


"Let them finish first."


That's what Elgar is like now. No longer as hot as before. He becomes a person who is cold and calmer in the face of problems.


After the man left, then Elgar and Aden approached the waiter.


"What's that?" Elgar pointed his chin at the hand of the servant holding the milk.


The appearance of Elgar who arrived, made the waiter panic. He had not had time to hide the medicine in his hands, Aden had already seized it forcibly and handed it to Elgar.


"What did the man tell you to give you money?" ask Elgar.


The waiter was getting scared. "In, he..."


"He what?" Aden snapped which turned out to be more fierce than Elgar.


"In, he told me to, me, mix the medicine into the food of his girlfriend." So afraid of the waiter until Gago.


"You know what this is?" Elgar asked, showing the medicine.


The servant shook his head with a trembling body. His face was pale. He did not dare to raise his head.


"What if it's poison? Are you ready to be a murderer and go to jail if that woman dies?" The waiter nodded quickly.


"Or not, what if it's an anesthetic or a stimulant? Do you know the consequences? You're gonna destroy a woman because of it. Just because of a few pieces of money, one's future is at stake. Where's your conscience?"


Elgar sighed and threw the medicine into the trash. He was grateful to be able to catch something like this. Otherwise, he could not imagine what would happen to the woman.


"Call his boss." Elgar's word to Aden.


Hearing that, the servant immediately rested on Elgar's feet. "Please forgive me, sir. Please don't report me." Wept as he cried at Elgar's feet.


Aden clucked while a ringing bell saw him. He knew there was no way Elgar could forgive him. Rather than seeing the drama full of crocodile tears, it was better for him to go in to see the restaurant manager.


"Your mistake has been fatal. I'm not going to let a man as immoral as you be a part of this hotel." Elgar pulled his feet violently and left. He believes Aden can be relied upon for this matter.


Flashback off


After seven years without news, they were finally able to sit back at one table. Face to face, but it feels awkward to stare even though it feels very wanted. Feelings of joy and sadness mixed into one.


Silent, both Mila and Elgar were silent. Too much to say leaves them equally confused as to what to say first.


Amidst the silence, Aden came up with two bottles of mineral water.


"Please." Said the man with glasses while putting each one of the bottles in front of them.


"Could leave us a minute." Tell Elgar and be immediately taken in without asking what.


After Aden left, Elgar grabbed the mineral water in front of Mila and opened it.


"Drink first." Said Elgar while putting back the mineral water that the lid was loose in front of Mila.


"Thank you." Mila grabbed the mineral water in front of her and immediately drank it half and then put it back down.


Mila was pinching the tip of her blouse when they accidentally looked at her. His heart is pounding. It used to be not as thrilling as this, but now, it felt like a couple of lovers were reunited after a long time apart. But in reality, they are just ex-husbands and not lovers.


"How are you?" Ask Elgar.


"Good." Mila replied while displaying the smile she made as sincere as possible.


That answer caused a little pain in Elgar's heart. I want her to hear Mila's not okay without her. He always prayed for happiness for Mila. But in the depths of her heart, there was pain if Mila was happy without her.


"You?"


"Huh." Elgar who was still dissolved in feeling, was surprised by Mila's question.


"How are you?"


"I'm good, too." Elgar tried to show his smile even though his heart held a lot of wounds.


No Mil, I'm not okay without you.


But only in his heart was Elgar able to pronounce it. She doesn't want to make Mila sad if she knows what the life of seven years is like. Let only he know. Anyway, it's his fault. The mistake of being a loser who can't fight for love. So if he's unhappy at the moment, just consider it a punishment for him.


Like Elgar, Mila also felt the pain of hearing his answer. He also hopes that Elgar is not okay without him. But apparently, her ex-husband is very happy now. Look, this fancy hotel is his. He still remembers how Elgar used to be very ambitious to be a successful person. It seemed, the man's ambition had already materialized. And his choice to marry Salsa was the right choice.


All this time, you've missed me El?


Very eager Mila said the word directly, unfortunately his tongue was too funny. Only in his heart did he keep the question that really wanted him to know the answer.


"When did you get back to Indonesia?"


"A month ago."


Although Elgar was still in contact with Pink, he never asked about Mila. The opposite is true with Mila. For Mila, let Elgar live only in her memory.


"Who was that guy?" Elgar was really curious about what kind of relationship Mila had with the man. Elgar still remembered his face, he was the man who paid the waiter to give the medicine to his girlfriend. Don't don't, the lady friend in question is Mila. If true, he was very grateful for having managed to save Mila.


"He's my boss in the office."


It was a shock that Elgar heard it. The relationship between superiors and subordinates, could be considered quite close, but the man slandered Mila very cruelly. Elgar clenched his palms. It's too bad he made the calculations on that bastard guy.


"Do you want to report it to the police?"


Mila shakes. Not that he did not want to seek justice or give a deterrent effect on Mr. Raka. But experience taught him to hold back this time. Even though it has been years, it is still wet to remember about the kidnapping incident first. No, he doesn't want to happen again. Especially now that there was a Saga that he had to think about his safety.


"You know, I caught the man telling the waiter to give the stimulant drug to his girlfriend. Is it possible that the lady friend she meant was you?"


Mila covered her gaping mouth with a palm. He just understood why Mr. Raka said that. But why isn't he affected?


"I threw away the medicine before it was mixed with you."


Mila breathes a sigh of relief. At least he did not need to worry because of the effects that the drug would cause.


"A man like that should be given the deterrent effect of not repeating his actions to another woman."


Mila confirmed Elgar's speech. But right now, he doesn't want to add to the problem.


"I just don't want Mr. Bas to happen again."


Elgar closed his eyes while throwing a rough breath. Until now, he had not been able to forgive the bastard's actions.


"Sorry sir, there's a call from Ms. Salsa." Aden arrives and puts his cell phone on Elgar. "Mom Salsa said she couldn't contact you, so she called me."


Elgar looked at Mila, but the one who was being stared at threw his face away. It's nothing, Mila just doesn't want Elgar to see the sadness in her eyes.


"Wait a minute." Elgar grabs the phone in Aden's hand and moves away a little.


Mila tried to hold back her tears. He shouldn't be jealous. Salsa is his wife, while he is just an ex. Aware of her position, Mila chose to leave that place. It seems Elgar is happy now.
