Ex Sucks!
Determined Refal

The shadow of Alula's smile flashed past Shenina making the dimpled girl realize that she should not have gotten a hug from Refaldy. It was enough of a mistake for Alula in that apartment, Shenina did not want to add her guilt to Alula just because of Refal.

As much as Shenina's strength pushed Refal who was hugging her with a deep sense of guilt for making the girl cry.

Had enough. For Shenina the story of her past with Refal is over and need not be discussed anymore.

It's like closing a book. And Shenina has been living her life with a new book with no name for Refal in it anymore even though she can't deny that she hasn't been able to forget it completely for almost five years.

"Shenina. please. Give me a chance and time to prove my feelings."

Shenina wiped her tears violently then smiled faintly. An actual smile laughed at herself because Shenina was already crying in front of Refal just because of this insignificant matter.

"Sir Refal, I reiterate once again. Our relationship in the past has never happened. Then act professional! Stop to discuss things outside of work with me."

"Shenina's..." Refal was still trying to persuade Shenina.

"Be professional or will I resign from the office today? I'm not afraid if I have to go to jail for not being able to pay the penalty!" Firmly Shenina with breath up and down held the rumble in her heart.

"Do you hate me so much as Shen?" Refal asked with a sad look that was actually able to touch Shenina's heart.

Shenina was able to see Refal's gaze this time like the gaze of Refal five years ago while they were still together in a courtship bond. Shenina painstakingly swallowed her saliva then gathered her courage to look at Refal.

"Yes. I hated you four years ago. So please stop talking nonsense again or I'll hate you even more and I'll make sure I won't appear before you again for good Refal!"

No. gabe. Refal did not want it to happen because Refal knew very well that Shenina was a reckless girl who never played with her words. Refal's life had been too messy since parting ways with Shenina.

And Refal was able to laugh again when he was close to Alula in recent months after years of living like a robot.

Refal could clearly see the mixed anger of disappointment wrapped in emotion in the look of Shenina's eyes like back then in Refal's apartment. Okay, Refal chose to give up and not be rash in talking about something or making a decision.

"alright. Let's be professional." Refal said in the end after taking a few seconds to think.

"I hold your word Mr. Refaldy. Please continue the journey." Shenina said remembering that her purpose in leaving the office with Refal was to meet someone they were going to work with.

Refal according to Shenina, the car was returned to enter the BSD area of South Tangerang to one of the famous restaurants there.

"I won't give up Shen. I won't give up on getting a second chance from you Shenina... I don't care about everyone anymore because I don't want to lose you a second time. I don't even care if I have to leave him. If I can't get you back, I don't hesitate to do Shenina's petty ways either." Inner Refal.

"When you're back Fal... But sorry, I don't want to betray Alula. After all, my heart was dead four years ago after you destroyed all my dreams..." Inner Shenina.

...***...

Wishnutama International Corporation is a large company engaged in property and food that has penetrated the international market.

For the property sector itself, the large company was led by Arshaka Hutama who was none other than the om from Alula who at that time drove Alula and Shenina to visit Dhani at the hospital.

While the Wishnutama Company engaged in food is held by Indra Pratama who is the father of Alula. Dan Refal happens to work in a company engaged in Food as a director of production under the auspices of Indra Pratama.

Taking on the role of production director was not easy for Refaldy. In addition to ensuring the production process runs as expected, Refal also has to think hard to develop new products in the form of food and drinks to always be superior to competitors.

This is where Refal and Shenina are now. Two human children who once had a sweet past story are in professional fashion to reach an agreement on someone who is before them at this time, in the VIP room of a European Restaurant.

Hartono, the owner of the largest tea plantation in Bandung is paying attention to the explanation from Refal about the benefits he gets if he wants to cooperate with the Wishnutama Company that will produce premium quality packaged tea.

"If I don't want to rent my land, how?" Ask Hartono casually.

"If you don't want to rent your land to a company we manage, then the second option is that we will buy your entire tea crop at the best price." Refal's reply made Hartono smile.

Although company spending will be much more swollen than renting land, but Refal did not want to back down considering that the tea from Hartono's garden has the best quality than others because of the soil elements and the pattern of the plantation without the use of chemicals.

"If you may know, what is the reason Mr. Hartono does not want to rent your tea plantation?" Shenina tried to chimed in. This discussion has been running for three hours and this is the moment of the final decision but impressed alot.

"Why should I give an excuse if I don't want to?" Not answering, the man in his 60s actually turned his nanya on Shenina.

It certainly tests the emotions of Refal who is impatient in various ways. But unlike Shenina, the girl smiled kindly at Hartono and gave Refal the code to be silent.

"Looking at your young age, I think it's time you enjoyed your life with your children and grandchildren Mr. Hartono. Didn't you just say if your children and grandchildren all live outside Bandung. If you still manage this vast tea plantation, when do you have time for family?" Shenina's question made Refal gawk as Shenina was concerned with Hartono's personal affairs.

Before discussing business with Refal and Shenina, Hartono had told about his family to the two young people in front of him.

"Human age no one knows Mr. Hartono. apologize in advance if I am presumptuous. If you continue to be preoccupied with plantation problems then your grandson has no fond memories with his grandfather." Shenina said again making Hartono's smile instantly disappear instantly.

"Shenina's." Call Rebal softly to warn Shenina not to cross the line while speaking.

"What your assistant said is right Fal." Hartono said to Refal. Hartono had met with Refal several times so the two were quite familiar.

"Actually I also want to have a lot of time with my family, playing with my grandchildren... But I was afraid of people there who would lose their jobs if my plantation leased to the company. Almost all of my villagers depend on my life from working in my tea garden." Hartono said in the end.

Shenina smiled, though,

"If that's your excuse, I'll give you a guarantee and an attractive offer, Mr. Hartono.." Refal quickly continued without wasting a chance.

"What offer?" Hartono's question was later described at length by Refal.

"You're a great Shenina. You're notoriously quiet, but once you speak, you're like a diamond that gives off an amazing sparkle." Inner Refal smiled at Shenina.
