Hurt

Tiara knew that Kinara had come to Bali, right after she contacted Kinara via voice call. Tiara didn't want to make Kinara and Abimana's household a mess especially until it ended in divorce. However, she also could not just remain silent, after witnessing Abimana's affair behind Kinara. And most likely, Abimana not only hooked one woman. Even if it was only one person, Tiara was sure that Abimana had committed the affair for a long time. Or it could be, since a few months after the man married Kinara.

Tiara, who began to feel guilty, was now in her best friend's office. She had even entered Kinara's private room, even though it was only near the door. However, her arrival was not welcomed by Kinara who seemed busy herself. A pile of files that don't know what their contents are can be seen filling the board of Kinara Dewi Pradipta's desk. Even though lunchtime was over, said Isabela—Kinara's secretary—the woman who served as CEO of her family's company had not yet moved from her seat.

"Whenever there is a problem, she's always like that. Busy herself, even though she shouldn't be busy at all. She even ignores mealtimes and other people." Tiara then sighed a moment after muttering those words. "Then, is it true that my decision to report Abimana's affair to Kinara was the right thing to do? Or will it only make Kinara worse off?"

Tiara was starting to regret it now. She also constantly doubted her own decisions, which of course were beyond repair. After seeing Kinara who looked like that mess, she just realized that her decision may not be able to provide good things, but instead a catastrophe that will destroy someone's life. Supposedly yesterday, she chose to remain silent and pretend not to know everything.

However, why only now did Tiara think about the consequences? She was too mad because she was known for Abimana's cheating behavior, and she ended up reporting the man's actions to Kinara.

Tiara was sure that Kinara had also caught Abimana with another woman with her own eyes. So that Kinara looks like a mess at the moment. At that time, Kinara had asked Tiara for help to find the place where Abimana was staying at the related hotel. However, before Tiara could attend and help, Kinara had already left early, most likely with the help of the hotel staff or manager. What Tiara found was Kinara who had gone into severe shock. Kinara didn't cry, but Kinara's body was shaking violently.

"At least I have to apologize first. It's up to him to forgive me or fire me as one of his friends. I may indeed deserve it," Tiara whispered.

In the next second, the woman whose full name is Tiara Olivia, who is also 35 years old, then takes her feet to walk towards the whereabouts of her best friend. As the mastermind behind the rift in Kinara and Abimana's household, Tiara should have asked them for forgiveness. If necessary, she would go to Abimana and immediately admit her decision to report to Kinara.

"Kinara?" said Tiara shortly after arriving in front of Kinara who was still busy working. "Ki-kinara I'm sorry."

Kinara was still silent, even as if he thought Tiara wasn't there. This of course made Tiara confused. Even though Tiara already knew how cold Kinara was, still until now she had not been able to find a solution to break down the ice wall that might have built up inside the Mrs. CEO.

Tiara bit her lower lip and believe me, her anxiety was getting thicker in her heart. However, on the other hand, she still had to speak. "Kinara, I'm sorry. I'm guilty, I shouldn't have urged you to come to that hotel. Especially to make you witness your own husband's infidelity. Kinara I—"

"Noisy!" said Kinara suddenly who managed to stop the mouth of Tiara who was talking. In the next second, she took a deep breath and looked at her best friend. "Can't you see I'm busy, Mrs. Tiara?"

"Ah ... I-I'm sorry, but, Kinara, you have to stop your busyness and have lunch. You can't be sick. I'm the one you should make an outlet for, not yourself because I'm the one who made you suffer the biggest heartache in your life. "

Kinara took a deep breath. She stared at her laptop screen for a few seconds, because after that she decided to get up. She walked to the window in the room and opened the vertical cover, to gaze at the bright view outside.

Yes, very sunny, very different weather from the weather at that time. The moment where Kinara got off the plane and the Balinese sky greeted her with raindrops. And at that moment, Kinara's heart was also immediately hit by a cloud with a big and very painful storm.

Once again, Kinara sighed. Her hands were folded under her chest. The next second, she was to look at Tiara. A faint, awkward smile tugged at the corners of her pale lips.

"Why are you apologizing? I have to thank you instead, because you have tried to open my eyes and my heart, Tiara," said Kinara. "Honestly, at first I still didn't believe it and hoped that what you said was just a mistake. I even promised to stay away from you, if you only deceived me. But ... you are still my friend, and never lied to me at all."

"Kinara ...?" Tiara whispered, suddenly uncomfortable with Kinara's words. Not because she was disturbed, but Kinara's response to her decision was actually so good and didn't necessarily hate her.

"It would be a lie if I wasn't injured. Because honestly I have not received a wound in my heart that is very fatal and I have never experienced it before. Yesterday ... when I found Abimana with that woman, my world seemed to collapse. My body is so strong, his mouth can be so fluent in speech. But! My heart is very fragile," said Kinara about her feelings. Even now she was trying hard not to burst into tears.

"You can come to me and cry in my arms, Kinara." Tiara tried to offer her shoulder, as a friend who might be used as a support when Kinara was injured.

However, Tiara's offer was answered with a shake of her head. Kinara refused and didn't want to cry just because of Abimana.

"I ... will avenge Abimana's actions that have hurt me, Tiara. I will divorce him and cancel the merger between our companies." Kinara's eyes flashed. The expression on her face was firm, although there were still tremors in her fingers which indicated that she was holding back the turmoil of sorrow in her heart.

Tiara immediately approached Kinara. She didn't care about Kinara's previous refusal and then gave Kinara a tight hug. "Don't get a divorce, can you still talk it over with Abimana properly? Don't you want to give him one more chance?" She asked in that manner.

"As you said at the time, Tiara before the merger between our companies occurs, I must act immediately. And my actions include divorce, canceling the merger, and revenge. I will crush Abimana to pieces. I will bring him to his knees, no, but prostrated to ask for forgiveness from me."

Kinara still didn't cry, to control herself, she clenched her fingers even harder. Thus, her nails penetrate the skin surface of the palm of her hand. It didn't matter how painful the wound was because, in reality, the wound in Kinara's heart was already excruciating. Especially when she decided to cry out as a form of outlet. She still thinks that her tears are too expensive for a traitor to be annoying.

Meanwhile, Tiara, who didn't know what else to say, continued to strengthen her embrace of Kinara's body. She felt how great the shaking was going on Kinara's body. She also knew how serious her friend's words were. So after this, it is likely that Abimana will experience a tremendous impact from the anger of his soon-to-be ex-wife.

Outside Kinara's room office, whose door was not completely closed, Kresna was standing. When he was about to knock on the door he saw it wasn't tightly closed, Kresna heard a conversation between Kinara and a woman who he heard was named Tiara.

"Ouch ... looks like my job will be more difficult than I thought. Mrs. CEO seems to be a woman full of ambition," Kresna muttered and smiled wryly. Because even though he received orders from Pramono, to be honest, he was still reluctant to take care of Kinara's divorce case with Abimana.
