Chapter 21: Chapter 21
Evelyn is in a car heading out of town. She was determined to move out of town so that Malvin would not easily find him. Evelyn remembered the night she visited Malvin's parents' house after Dena visited her apartment that night. Instead of meeting Malvin, Malvin's father invited him to sit down because he wanted to chat with him for a while.
“How are you?” Malvin's father opened their conversation.
"As you can see Mr. Gerald, I am fine." but it was obvious from the look on her face that Evelyn wasn't all right. She had trouble sleeping at night so that his eye bags were thick. And his appetite has changed.
"I'll get to the point, Eve."
Evelyn looked straight at Malvin's former boss and father in front of her.
"I know you have a relationship with my son, I also know Malvin really loves you, but I beg you, let Malvin go for Dena." Malvin's father said firmly.
Evelyn had expected it, she exhaled heavily. Her arrival at Malvin's parents' house is to fix the relationship even though it is difficult. But the reality is not as easy as what was planned.
"It's not that I don't like you, I'm even very happy with you, but to be the wife of a Malvin, I'm sorry that there has to be this match," Sounded a little tucked in a sense of regret in his words.
"I could have left Malvin, sir, but are you sure Malvin will not suffer more?"
"It is all my fault, I did not tell Malvin from the start about this match, I'm sure time will change his feelings, so I beg you."
Evelyn listened silently to Mr. Gerald's explanation.
"I beg you to understand and relent. This match is very important for our family because I have been friends with Dena's father for a long time."
Evelyn took a deep breath, tears welling up in her eyes ready to slide down her cheeks.
"I know you're not a stupid girl, so I'm sure you'll get the better of Malvin."
Evelyn looked away, her tears managed to fall even without blinking. Evelyn couldn't help it. His chest felt very tight. She couldn't even say anything else.
"Give me a little time to fix the relationship with him. After that I will leave him." in the end it was precisely the word that came out of his mouth. She wasn't even sure what she was saying himself.
"Do you promise?"
"You can trust me, Mr. Gerald, I just wish to part ways in a kind way."
Evelyn sighed, it was the meeting with Malvin's parents that finally made Evelyn decide to leave.
Maybe she sounded mean, coming back to Malvin to hurt her even more, but that wasn't the point. Evelyn just wanted a good goodbye. Evelyn thought that a good separation would make things better. Anyone knows it's Evelyn here who is suffering the most.

Evelyn glanced at the clock on her left hand, nine o'clock sharp. She was sure that by this time Malvin had noticed his departure and was looking for him. Evelyn deliberately changed her cell phone number so that Malvin wouldn't call her again. Evelyn closed her eyes, there was water running down the corner of her eye, "I'm sorry Malvin." Evelyn muttered softly.
Actually, Evelyn still has a few days left to be with Malvin and ask for a good goodbye. however, what happened to someone she just met, Sherly. Made Evelyn think again. She could not imagine if Evelyn became pregnant later when Malvin had officially become Dena's husband. Thoughts were the opposite of what Malvin thought because he had no way of knowing Evelyn's plans to abandon him.
Evelyn has arrived at her new humble home, where she will start looking for a new job and start a new life. Then, Evelyn entered the house and with the help of several people who helped carry her belongings.
Evelyn has no one else, only her brother who is overseas and her best friend Jenifer who is also far away from her. She started to organize his own things when some of the people who had helped him had returned. Now, Evelyn is completely alone.
It was late afternoon, Evelyn chose to order food online because she was too tired to tidy up her things alone.
Suddenly his cell phone rang. Evelyn saw the name Jenifer on the screen. Yeah, Evelyn just gave her new number to her sister and Jenifer. Because apart from the two of them, Evelyn has no one.
"Hello, Jeni, what's wrong?"
"Are you busy? "
"Yes, I was cleaning up my new residence."
"Why don't you want me to help you?"
"You have to work Jeni, that way Malvin won't suspect you know my plan."
"You're right, em ... Ve, do you know? Malvin is very messed up."
Evelyn was silent, only heard the sound of her heavy breathing.
"He ran to meet me in the office in a very messy condition, all the employees saw him surprised and talked about it. They seemed not to see the usual boss."
"Eve, are you sure about --"
"I'm sure, Jen, you don't have to keep asking about it. This is the best decision for us. I don't want us to be even more devastated if we continue to maintain the relationship without the blessing of our parents.” Jenifer didn't finish asking, Evelyn had cut her words with a lengthy explanation.
"Well if this has become your final decision, I hope you are happy Ve, take care of your health. I will often call you."
"Okay Jen, thanks for all your kindness."
Evelyn ended their conversation. She exhaled tiredly. She could not imagine how usually the cold, neat, arrogant, and handsome Malvin with a flat expression suddenly had to run to the office in messy clothes and chaotic circumstances.
All employees will definitely talk about it. Malvin, who is admired by many women and always looks charming, must have felt devastated when he found out that Evelyn left him. Even without a trace, only a letter she left on the table.
Evelyn ate only a small amount of the food that she bought online, she had completely lost her appetite. His head was full of thoughts about Malvin. Although Evelyn was worried about him, she was still in his position. She can't be shaken.
Finally, Evelyn fell asleep on the sofa because she was so tired, she forgot to clean her body and didn't even have time to move into her room.
It was two in the morning when Evelyn woke up. She immediately cleaned his body which felt sticky and achy. Then she returned to put his clothes that she had tidied into his wardrobe.
Next, she cleaned the kitchen and cooked something she could eat. His stomach was struggling to ask to be filled because yesterday she only ate a little.
