Chapter 115 - Do You Already Have A Lover?
After an unpleasant incident at Rangga's office, Lisa went to the cafe they had agreed to meet in. The incident at Rangga's office was completely unexpected, it felt like Lisa's chest had been torn apart and her feelings were mixed.
Lisa thought that today was a really bad day. After six months divorced, she hoped she would never see Oscar again. But fate said otherwise. The man, her ex-husband, Oscar Petersson, the president with European blood came and kissed Lisa so casually. Lisa's body seemed tarnished after not seeing him for a long time.
The man walked out of room 202 and looked at Lisa with the intimidating gaze. It made Lisa shudder even until now.
Lisa's memory returned to when the man tried to fondle her body. She was really disgusted from being touched by her ex-husband. Even worse, Lisa was unable to scream for help.
Lisa was very confused to death. If Oscar was currently in love with Clara, why would that man come to bother her?
Along the way to the cafe, Lisa's eyes started to water and she tried to hold back the tears so as not to attract people's attention.
Arriving at the cafe, Lisa sat in a chair near the window as usual. She ordered a cup of hot tea. She hoped that she could calm her chaotic mind by inhaling the aroma of her favorite tea.
After she sat down and sipped her cup of tea for a moment, a tall, slender man came over to her.
The man waved and Lisa replied.
"Hey Lisa! How come you feel sluggish? I didn't think there was anything wrong with you in my office earlier. So what happened?" Rangga asked as he leaned forward. His black curls parted over his left eye, adorning his cute face.
"Oh, it's okay. I'm just tired, today is really hot!" Lisa lied.
"So how's with the business with your online shop?"
"Thank God, we have made a lot of progress, even though it's not really significant yet," Lisa answered, then sipped her hot tea.
"Hey, what did you want to say earlier?" Rangga asked hastily.
"Oh, it's okay. I just want to say thanks because you've helped my business. I mean, if you didn't help me, I might have given up and wandered under the Ancol bridge!"
Rangga laughed at Lisa's reply. The man covered his face in amusement.
"You know this is so funny, I swear! I've said it many times. You don't need to worry. I sincerely help you!" Rangga answered with a sweet smile.
They spent hours chatting in their favorite cafe until evening. After leaving the cafe, Rangga took Lisa back to Vira's studio.
The woman got into the car and sat in the front seat. SHe pulled the seat belt and said to Rangga, "If you're not busy, You can stop by Vira's studio again. We can chat a little."
Rangga nodded then closed the door. He then turned the car key and stepped on the gas pedal and drove.
"Sure, it can be arranged! It's just that I seem to have a busy schedule for next week. My insurance company is collaborating with your ex-husband's company," Rangga said casually.
Hearing that sentence made Lisa's heart pound again. Her memory returned to an unpleasant incident in Rangga's office earlier when her ex-husband tried to kiss and fondle her.
The woman was silent for a moment then cleared her throat. She was still upset about what happened to her today.
Their trip that evening went smoothly. It was rare that the street wasn't as crowded as usual. Rangga drove at full speed and sang cheerfully to the sound of the radio.
Suddenly, Lisa asked, "Anyway, I want to ask you something. But don't be angry, okay?"
Rangga said yes.
"I'm confused with you. You are now successful, have money, you are handsome too, I admit that. But how come I see you're still single?" Lisa asked curiously. Hope the man didn't take offense at her question.
Rangga laughed amusedly at Lisa's question. "How come you can say that? Why are you asking this?"
"Yes, when you were in school, you weren't a popular guy. Girls in school didn't seem to pay attention to you. Now you have completely changed, you are like a caterpillar that has turned into a butterfly!"
Rangga chuckled. Lisa's statement sounded ridiculous in his ears.
"Lis, I told you at that time, as long as I can take care of myself and live alone, I have no problem even if I stay single until 40!" Rangga replied casually.
"I mean, isn't there any girl who has a crush on you?"
Hearing Lisa's question, Rangga was silent. He glanced blankly at Lisa then looked back straight ahead.
"About that, many girls actually chased after me. But most of them are materialistic, and just want my money. And yes, I'm tired of the bullshit, Lis!"
"That's it, you already told me!" said Lisa shortly.
"How do I explain it? I used to like a girl. She is really beautiful Lis, her son is also really smart. I always felt like this girl was my soulmate. After meeting so many girls who only wanted my money, I thought she genuinely liked me and I almost thought we were a perfect pair,"
Rangga was silent for a moment before he continued. "But in the end, she was just like any other girl. The girl I had a crush on turned out to only want my money. I'm tired, Lis! That's why I don't want to date now."
"Oh, I see. Turns out we are the same. I mean, we were not destined to have true love," Lisa replied languidly.
"What do you mean, Lis?"
"My marriage was destroyed because of a homewrecker. My husband's ex-girlfriend was the culprit, and pushed me to divorce."
"Lis, I'm so sorry to hear that. The important thing is that you are optimistic. As long as you can stand on your own feet, whether you want to be with a boy or not, as long as you can be happy because you are alone, I'm sure you won't fall down too badly!" Rangga said, comforting her.
"But do you ever think of getting married in the future?" Lisa asked again.
"I leave it at God's hand. I just realized that my destined partner is still out there, but I won't rush my chance. In my opinion, life isn't always about marriage," Rangga said confidently.
"I pray that you find a good partner soon!"
Rangga chuckled and agreed.. The man smiled as he turned his head towards Lisa.
