Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Evelyn walked to her apartment after shopping for cooking. She walked alone with a grocery bag full of goods.

Evelyn was surprised when she reached the door of her apartment there was someone waiting for her.

"what are you doing here?" asked Evelyn.

"I am waiting for you."

Evelyn opened the apartment door and walked in ignoring Malvin.

"What is the need for you to come here yourself."

"I miss you, Ve, I mean it ... We can fix this relationship, believe me ..."

"What kind of relationship do you expect? You can't even resist the match."

"Ve, we haven't tried it."

"Never mind, Malvin."

"I need you to convince them."

Evelyn was silent, she was not sure that she could maintain her relationship with Malvin, while her heart still ached because of Malvin's betrayal. Evelyn always felt sick when she remembered what happened at that time.

Malvin came out weak, he was unable to convince Evelyn to maintain their relationship, let alone convince her parents.

Malvin stayed for a long time in the vehicle he was in before finally starting the car and walking slowly to his parents' house.

Malvin entered past his parents who were in the family room, ignoring them.

"Malvin!"

Malvin stopped walking because his father called him.

"Is that how you should behave when you enter the house and meet your parents? Where are your manners ?" said Malvin's father a little.

Malvin's parents asked him to go home and live in their house after his engagement with Dena. They said that Malvin's marriage would not belong.

"Why did you decide everything without my consent ?" Malvin finally asked about the problem he had been holding up.

"Did you choose the wrong match for you?"

"I'm not little son, Dad. I can find myself for me."

"It's too late, Malvin, you're engaged to Dena."

"I don't love her, Daddy! I already have Evelyn."

"She's your secretary, you never introduced her as your lover."

"We are grown, Daddy, you should know without me needing to say it."

Malvin's father was silent, he actually knew, but he pretended not to know because he had an appointment with his friend to match their child. He used that opportunity to immediately arrange Malvin's engagement without asking for his consent.

"Everything has happened, I don't want everything to be destroyed because you canceled it," said Malvin's father quietly.

"And let only me feel the destruction," said Malvin as he left his parents.

Malvin waited for Evelyn in front of his apartment. routine that he now always does every evening, he wants to improve his relationship with Evelyn. It's been two weeks but Evelyn still ignores him.

"Stop bothering me, Malvin," said Evelyn.

"I want you to forgive me, Eve," said Malvin.

"I've forgiven you, so now go and stop bothering me!" said Evelyn closed the door to her apartment loudly.

Evelyn was crying again, leaning her back against the door. Evelyn always cried every day, especially Malvin always came to her. She wanted to cry and hug Malvin, she missed him so much. But of course, all that in his endure.

Malvin left feeling empty, it had been two weeks but his struggle was in vain. Malvin was devastated, he ignored everything. Just focus on Evelyn.

When he reached Malvin's parent's house, Dena was waiting for him. As usual, Malvin was silent without caring.

"You just came back from Evelyn's house again?"

“And she ignored you again?” Dena had known that her fiancé was always secretly visiting Evelyn's apartment. That man really still loves her lover.

Dena, who initially felt guilty and concerned, now feels furious. The woman did not really let Malvin go despite ignoring him. Dena left because Malvin kept silent and didn't think Dena was at all.

Dena drove her car towards Evelyn's apartment. She went up to the 10th floor of the building where Evelyn's apartment was located. Dena knocked on the door and without waiting Evelyn opened the door for her.

It could be seen from the look on her face that if Evelyn was messed up, she was as devastated as Malvin. Dena felt pity, but she remained in his decision.

"Who are you looking for? If you're looking for Malvin, he's not here," said Evelyn coldly.

"I want to talk to you, can I come in?"

Evelyn spread the doors and let Dena in. She still remembered that woman was under the confinement of his lover at that time. The woman who made him crushed, she doesn't know what was on Evelyn's mind, now she just let her into his apartment.

"To the point," said Evelyn after sitting in front of Dena.

"Do you still love Malvin?" asked Dena.

"That is none of your business," said Evelyn. She looked straight at the woman in front of him.

"Malvin is already my fiancé, so now it's my business too."

"Tssk! You're talking as if it's not because of you my relationship is broken!"

"You complicate your troubles, and you torture yourself even more." Evelyn was silent at what Dena said.

"I'm just warning you, it's better to go, than torture yourself, because Malvin won't quit and our marriage won't be canceled"

Dena left Evelyn still stunned in her living room. It was certain that Evelyn couldn't sleep well tonight. And sure enough, by morning Evelyn was still not sleeping. She could only close his eyes when the morning sun peeked in through the curtains of his window.

Evelyn knew, today Malvin must be going to his apartment, as usual, she intends to cook his favorite spaghetti. Evelyn had decided to make up with the man.

Evelyn heard someone coming but did not knock on the door. His spaghetti was ready, she walked over to the door and opened it.

"Are you at home?" asked Malvin, who was surprised because suddenly Evelyn opened the door. He thought Evelyn wasn't home as usual.

"Come in," said Evelyn smiling as she took and pulled Malvin's hand a little.

Malvin continued to follow Evelyn, even though he was again surprised by Evelyn's attitude back to her old ways. His heart seemed to warm.

"Eat it, I cooked your favorite spaghetti," said Evelyn, who invited her to sit at the dining table.

"am I dreaming?" asked Malvin, since Evelyn gave him a surprise for the third time.

"What are you saying? eat in silence. "said Evelyn still with an unconventional smile.

Malvin chose to remain silent and obey, eating up the spaghetti made by Evelyn that he had missed so much. Malvin's smile was clearly printed on his lips.

After eating, Evelyn cleared the table and washed the dishes. Malvin is still watching him from behind. Then Malvin came over and hugged Evelyn from behind.

"I miss you so much, thank you for taking me back." Malvin rested his chin on the nape of Evelyn's neck. He breathed in the scent of Evelyn that she really missed.
