The Household Ark
Still Flash Back

In the room of the originally hot fila room now turned cold and quiet. Not because no one was there. But they are focused on their own minds.

Shanti was still standing in front of the mirror with Max still hugging her from behind.

For a moment their gaze met from the reflection of the mirror. Shanti did not answer Max's words just now, she just nodded.

Max tries to understand Shanti's current state. And he thought maybe now is not the right time to do more with this adoration of his heart.

"Shan's. Before you go home I'll tell you something."

"is this still about how I feel about you? or your feelings for me?"

Shanti's eyes turned soft. As much as he could, he held back the tears that he wanted to let out if Max went back to talking about their feelings.

"Open Shan! it's about me and Rina..."

Shanti turns her body so that she faces Max. He stared at the face that was now down and his lips trembled slightly holding back the word that seemed heavy to say.

"Are you getting married soon?"

Max just shut up. He still lowered his head not daring to look towards Shanti.

He realizes that Shanti's guess is correct this time, and this topic is also the reason why he took Shanti all the way to his family's fila.

Shanti pulled Max's chin until his face lifted and their eyes looked at each other.

"was I right this time?"

Max just nodded, not knowing what to say.

"that's good Max. You'll be happy living with Rina."

Although in a light tone Shanti said it but somehow it was heavy in her heart.

Shanti walked slightly away giving distance between her and Max. He turned his back to Max.

the tears that he had been holding back just spilled on his cheek.

"Shanti please listen to my words first..."

"Well, you can just talk from there, no need to be close together!"

Shanti tries to warn Max not to come any closer.he does not want Max to see her crying at this time.

"When will you be named?"

"less than one month away."

This time Max's answer left him silent a thousand languages. He had prepared himself if later Max will be with others. But he didn't expect it to come so soon.

He took his breath in several times to unravel the tightness inside his chest.

He also wiped his tears quickly and turned his body to face Max.

"happy Max. I pray that you will be happy and have many offspring.if you invite me then I will definitely come."

with a smile that he makes as sweet as possible Shanti congratulates Max. he wants Max to know that he will be fine.

"don't smile like that Shan I beg you..."

again Max begged Shanti for a number of times.Max's heart felt very painful to hear the word congratulations from Shanti's lips that smiled stiffly as if forced.

"Max trust me. You will surely forget your love for me one day, and you will love your wife Rina very much."

"no Max! you must open your heart to the love of your own wife Rina..."

"hush on Shan! you're making me dizzy! she's not my wife!"

Max raised his voice a little, he looked at Shanti was anxious and his anger seemed to overflow.

Max could not accept if Shanti would let her marry someone else.I don't know what was in her mind, but she clearly felt she did not want to let go of Shanti.

"but he's your fiance Max! and you're getting married soon. It's only natural that I say that she's your wife!"

Shanti no less raised her tone in front of Max.

"it's still a candidate and not necessarily going to be!"

for a moment they both fell silent.Max's words made Shanti inexhaustible think.what exactly is the purpose of this man.

it is not clear that Shanti has a husband and children.it would be better if she also has a wife and forget the love story of their past both.

but Max doesn't seem to want any of that.

"if there is a second chance then I will definitely marry you Shan..."

"unfortunately that opportunity will never exist Max!"

Shanti stared fiercely at Max at a glance and immediately grabbed his bag lying on the floor.

Half-running Shanti forcibly opened the locked door and immediately walked out of it.

but just two steps out the door his eyes caught someone who was standing staring in front of him.

I don't know since when Rina was there. It feels like the world stopped spinning making Shanti lose all her head at this time.

no one spoke, they just stared at each other with feelings that were out of nowhere, wanting to be in disbelief but all really very real.

"Shanti I'm so men..."

max's words were cut off and he was no less surprised by Shanti.

he stood up while holding Shanti's hand from behind. But now he is the same with Shanti and Rina.

Shanti who first awakened herself from the attitude, she immediately walked wanted to pass Rina just like that.

But unexpectedly Rina actually held back her hand, forced she had to stop her steps again. He looked towards Rina and

Plaque!

One slap landed on his cheek.on the moment his face turned to the side.it felt very hot and the pain of the slap that Rina gave him.

his shoulders rushed, his breath stuck in his throat.the instant his tears spilled unstoppably.

no words said. Shanti was only glimpsed for a moment towards Max who stood glued to witness the incident.

because he felt Max did not respond and seemed silent to see himself in slap by Rina. while a little sobbing Shanti was immediately gone from there leaving Max and Rina there.

he ran outside the luxurious fila. after arriving in the yard he tried to find a vehicle that he could use to get away from the cursed place. or rather, escape from a very unexpected situation.

accidentally he looked at his favorite red motorbike.he was a little confused because he remembered very well if the motorbike was still parked in the tax hall earlier.

but dismissed all his confusion he immediately walked up to his bike and immediately went from there.he was afraid that Max or Rina would chase him later.

for now he does not want to meet with these people first, because I don't know what else will happen later if this meeting continues.
