At ten o'clock at night, Vania is sitting relaxed on the terrace of her rented house which is a bluish-white ceramic. The woman wore short blue jeans combined with an oversized white t-shirt and let her long hair flow freely. She looked like a girl who maybe no one would have thought she had a child when she was alone like that.

"Why isn't Max home yet? Is he going to work late again tonight? He comes home late every day and is late for dinner." Vania wondered as she stared at Max's light brown door, still closed.

After sitting on the terrace for a few minutes, Vania finally smiled in relief when someone riding a beat motorbike stopped on Max's rented terrace. She got up and walked towards him.

"Hi, Max. You always work late," said Vania when Max took off his helmet and immediately got off the motorbike.

"There was a badly damaged car on the road near the forest... I and my friend got our allotted to fix the car and just finished," Max explained then walked towards the door and took the key in the pocket of the small black sling bag he was wearing.

"Have you eaten yet?" she asked.

"Not yet," said Max.

Check

Open door. Max immediately entered followed by Vania. He immediately sat on the black seat. In the living room, there are only four chairs, which are equipped with a small glass table, wall clock, and calendar.

"Then you take a shower immediately. I will prepare dinner for you," said Vania.

"Hmm, my body is very dirty. Looks like I have to take a shower," said Max, smelling his own body's distinctive aroma with the smell of oil and gasoline.

Vanya smiled faintly. "When Vano is a bit old, I will help you make money," she said.

"That's not necessary..let me do the work and you stay at home looking after Vano," said Max then took off his black t-shirt.Vania immediately took the t-shirt because she always washed Max's clothes...All activities are done by Vania for Max because they live in different rentals just to maintain their good name. as said, Max returns to his rented house only to sleep at night while at other times he spends more time in Vania's rented house with Vano when he is not working.

"Hurry up and take a shower and go to my rented house. I'm waiting for you, okay?"

"Okay."

Vania immediately returned to her rented room while Max rushed to the bathroom to clean up.

Carlos stopped his car in the courtyard of Veronica's apartment building. He got out of the car and walked through the main door of the magnificent building with a futuristic design then down the corridor to the elevator that would take him to his mistress's apartment unit.

After a few minutes of walking, Carlos entered the elevator and then pressed the button to the number 10 floor. In the elevator, he happened to be with a man who looked younger than him and had a dignified and classy appearance.

There was only silence between the two of them there was no intention to greet each other or get acquainted until the elevator opened again because it had arrived at the intended floor.

Carlos immediately came out as well as the man. he smiled when he saw Veronica just come out of the apartment wearing a black dress that was so sexy with an open shoulder style and there was a slit from the legs to the thighs, wearing red high heels, wearing a hair clip on the right side of her hair and...Her face is bare of thick make-up. The woman looked at him with a smile as she walked over to him.

But Carlos' smile faded when Veronica just walked past him and walked over to the man who was walking near him, even hugged him and kissed him.

"Veronica, what do you mean? You came over him kissing, him hugging him?" asked Carlos with a sharp look at the man who was with Veronica.

"Carlos, I'm sorry I didn't say it earlier...So, I say now that between the two of us is over because he promised me a more serious relationship," Veronica explained then handed Carlos a key and a credit card. "Starting tonight I will leave this apartment, and the car and the credit card you gave me, I return it."

"Veronica you can't just leave me alone!" Carlos got emotional and was about to pull Veronica but was prevented by the man."She doesn't want to be with you anymore..then don't force her to stay because she needs a husband, not a man who only makes her a mistress," said the man removing Carlos' hand from Veronica's hand.

Carlos was silent with pain so deep in his heart because of the disappointment that hit. he didn't expect Veronika to leave him so easily after a few months of being in love with him. "Veronica, if you want me to be serious, I'm even ready to marry you right now. I'll give you everything you want!"

"I know you still have two wives. I don't want to be a second third wife and it's better if we end because I want to be his only wife," Veronica said ending by glancing at the man beside her who immediately nodded his head a sign that he was indeed the one who would marry her. "Honey now let's go."

"Veronica, wait! You can't just walk away'¦ I need you'¦ did you forget that you said you'd always be with me!" Carlos said as he followed Veronica who was walking briskly with him to the elevator.

When Veronica and the man got into the elevator, Carlos was still chasing and the man kicked him straight away until he fell in front of the elevator.

Brughhhh...

"Don't bother her anymore or I'll have my men beat you up!" exclaimed the man with a sharp gaze pointing at Carlos's face, then returned to Veronica's side until the elevator closed without Carlos coming in.

"Damn it. Bitch!" Carlos cursed while slamming the key and card that Veronica had given him. His breath caught staring at the elevator that was still closed. Now he feels alone that he has lost Vania who notices that he has Elsa as a wife but doesn't pay attention to him and instead always rebels.

After finishing eating together, Max and Vania did not immediately sleep. They sat relaxed on the terrace while enjoying a cup of coffee and cake made by Vania. Incidentally, it was raining, so it was very comfortable to eat cake accompanied by a cup of coffee.

"Max," called Vania, breaking the silence of the cold night.

"Yes, why?" Max asked casually. He looked attractive with his casual style wearing black denim shorts combined with a white sweater.

"I don't know where to start but why do you keep being nice to me Don't you want to try taking care of your own life?" Vania began to say what had been a question that had always been in her heart all this time.

Max sighed, glancing at Vania who was starting to talk about the kindness he had been doing all this time. "Did you seriously want to know what I meant all this time?" he asked.

"Of course," replied Vania, raising her eyebrows.

"I want to continue like this with you, Vania..but I can't do anything but make you comfortable because I won't be able to have you. ... you are still married to Carlos and I'm sure Carlos will not let you go," explained Max with a bend in his face, showing the sadness he had been hiding all this time.
