The Painful Truth
Still with a quiet room and also only himself alone in the apartment, Anggi picked up the phone from Mr. Ian, trying to be as polite as possible because Ian was his boss and also Belvina. Slowly Anggi pressed the green button and pulled it up.
“Hello? What’s up, Mr. Ian?” Anggi asked in a tone that was made so polite.
“Ah, it’s okay, Anggi. Today, do you have an event or not?” Ian asked back from the other side.
“No, so what, Mr. Ian?”
“I just want to invite you to go to a place we’ve never been before, do you want to?” Ian offered.
Actually Anggi wanted to refuse because he didn’t want to hurt Haris’ feelings. This was an order from his superiors, whether Anggi wanted to or not, he would try to follow Ian’s offer.
“All right, Mr. Ian. I will prepare first.” Anggi said.
“Yes, I will also prepare first.” Ian said and the phone was immediately hung up. Anggi clenched his right hand into the air and pulled it up with a happy expression on his face.
“Yes! Finally today didn’t get boring. Going with Mr. Ian isn’t bad either, right?” Anggi was so happy to hear the news that Ian would take her out on a holiday like this.
Anggi immediately went to her room and changed her clothes. A little make up and started to leave waiting for Ian to arrive in front of the first floor apartment.
Not long after, Ian arrived in his luxury car. Anggi, who knew that it was Ian’s car, immediately approached the handsome man who was now picking her up and got into the car.

The atmosphere of the beach is very beautiful with white sand, waves crashing towards the land, as well as the breeze that slaps the hair of a couple who are enjoying the beach breeze. The couple walked closer to the beach water. They both held hands, took off their shoes and ran to the shoreline. Enjoying the beauty and also the cold beach water that touches the skin of both of their feet.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
The two of them were also enjoying playing with each other’s water like people on a date in general. Even Gifer also carried Belvina bridal style and spun around on the sea water. It certainly made Belvina squeal in surprise and laugh happily because of her lover’s behavior. Their clothes were already wet from the sea water. Before long, Belvina tried to break away from Gifer and ran around the beach. Don’t forget Gifer who also ran after Belvina until he got there and hugged the girl’s body. Afterward, they walked together to the land and sat on the white sand of the beach.
“Hahahaha, today was so much fun, honey. I’m tired.” Said Belvina who was neutralizing her breath after running around with Gifer.
“Not only you, I’m also tired, dear.”
“Who told you to carry me, huh?” Belvina patted Gifer’s right arm with her forehead wrinkled and her lips turned up. Gifer just laughed out loud at what his girlfriend had just said.
“Hahahaha, I’m adorable, and this is the first time I can run around the beach with you this freely. Usually we go to the beach when we come home from work, and our clothes can’t automatically be exposed to sea water. Now we’re wearing casual clothes, so I’m also free to run around while enjoying the beach water. Isn’t that right?” Gifer said as he raised his eyebrows twice in code to Belvina, his white teeth were showing because he was really having fun without having to think about office problems.
“Honestly, yes. When we wear office clothes, we can’t be free because we have to wear them again the next day. Especially me, whose job is only a clerk, the uniform is sometimes worn twice.” Belvina said looking at Gifer.
“No problem, soon you’ll be the CEO’s mistress, dear.” Gifer said casually, Belvina just smiled.
“Oh yeah, you must be thirsty right? Let me buy you a drink first.” Gifer said.
“Alright.” Belvina replied.

Ian took Anggi to a luxurious restaurant with VIP rooms, I don’t know where the wind came from, Ian suddenly invited his employees to go to that expensive retaurant.
“Anggi, can I talk to you about something?”
“Yes, Mr. Ian, haven’t we been talking to each other?” Anggi said lightly.
“Anggi, what if I like you?” Anggi immediately stopped chewing the meat in her mouth and laughed while covering her mouth with her right palm.
“Hahaha, no need to joke, Mr. Ian. There’s no way you’ll like me like this.” Anggi was still laughing at what Ian said. Ian himself immediately changed his smiling expression to a flat expression.
“Anggi, I’m serious.” Ian deliberately pressed his sentence. Anggi also immediately stopped laughing and looked seriously at Ian.
“If you are serious, sorry, Mr. Ian. I already have a lover.” Ian was stunned to hear what Anggi said.
“Wh-what?” Ian also felt disappointed, but the lelalo would try to let it go.
“So, I lost this start? Huh?” Continuing Ian sighed in disappointment, Anggi nodded in response.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Ian. But, didn’t you like Vina back then? Why suddenly like me? Sorry, if my question is presumptuous.” Anggi said while looking down.
“At that time I did like Belvina, but, after Belvina had Gifer, I still hoped to be close to you, but… Maybe I can’t balance what I like and what is just an obsession. And also the office problem that always gives me a headache. I also don’t know if this is called love or even just admiring you. It doesn’t matter. By the way, if I may know, what is the name of your lover?” Ian’s explanation ended with curiosity that led to questions.
“Haris Kurniawan.” Hearing Anggi’s answer, Ian widened his eyes even more. Ian knew Haris. But there was still something that was a question in Ian’s mind.
‘Is Anggi’s lover the same Haris Kurniawan as the person I knew all this time?’ Ian said silently. Ian’s forehead wrinkled at the thought. his thin lips folded inward. Showing the mole that was there.

At the beach where Gifer and Belvina were, Gifer now returned with two watermelon juices he bought at a shop near the beach. Gifer gave one to Belvina who was dreamily facing the sea water of the beach. Belvina was a little surprised when Gifer pressed the watermelon juice against her cheek which caused a cold sensation.
“Yak! You just surprised me oh.” Belvina said. Gifer immediately sat down next to her. They drank the juice while enjoying the beach breeze and the sun that was about to set.
“Look, that sun is really going to disappear soon.” Gifer pointed at the sun that had already disappeared by a quarter.
“Yes, I’ve been watching that too.” Belvina smiled while not taking her eyes off the truly beautiful sunset.
“After the sun disappears, I will tell you the truth.” Gifer said. Belvina immediately turned her head towards Gifer. Paying attention to every word those lips said.
“The truth?”
“Yes, the truth you’re waiting for too, isn’t it?”
“Yes, I’m waiting for that, yesterday you got a call from your company and your sentence was cut off.”
“Yeah, let’s just wait until sunset.” Gifer said.
One,
Two,
Three.
The sun had set completely, making the sky around it start to become a slightly dusky orange color as well. The million clouds began to change color to match the color of the sky.
“The sun has set, I’ll tell you the truth.” Gifer tried to look into Belvina’s eyes. Examining all the black beads while grasping both of Belviba’s hands.
“Honey, I don’t want to hide this from you anymore. It’s about what happened when I was in New York.”
“What happened there? Were you treated badly?” Belvina asked curiously. Gifer shook his head and then looked down, looking at the backs of Belvina’s hands and stroking them gently.
“Sorry, I’m sorry. Maybe I’m just a bad man that you can’t forgive. Even so, I will still apologize to you.” That certainly still made Belvina’s heart curious. For some reason, Belvina’s heart was suddenly tight. As if crushed by a very large stone.
“Kiano at that time gave me an alcoholic drink that had been mixed with stimulants. I didn’t know, and woke up already asleep next to Nara. I, already did that with Nara. I’m sorry, darling. And now Nara is pregnant with my child.” Hearing that statement from Gifer made Belvina’s tears instantly fall, her forehead wrinkled while digesting what Gifer said.
“Wh-what?” Belvina’s tears fell even more heavily from those beautiful eyes.
Her chest felt like it was hit by a rock hard, Belvina had expected this. Gifer was hiding something from her. And it turned out to be this? When the truth was revealed, Belvina was really disappointed with Gifer. She immediately removed both hands from Gifer’s grasp and stood up, walking further away from Gifer. Gifer also stood up and approached Belvina.
“Don’t come any closer! You’re bad, Gifer! You’re bad!” Belvina ran barefoot towards the highway which was quite far from the beach, leaving Gifer who was also still crying there.
“ARGGHH! Why is all this happening to me, God!!!” Gifer shouted towards the rushing sea water that was increasingly greeting his feet.
