While in the car, Maura occasionally glanced at Mark, who was leaning back with his eyes closed but his mouth spoke incoherently. The girl pulled over the car, then approached her ex-lover.
"Mark, are you still love me?" Maura asked in a sensual tone, feeling Mark's smooth jaw without the slightest beard.
"Of course, even when making love with Adriana, I can only imagine that it was you," Mark replied sadly, staring at Maura with his wistful eyes.
Maura dared to kiss Mark's lips for a moment then took them off. "I also always imagined you. While in Germany, I also couldn't stop missing you. My heart ached when I heard the news that you were married
a poor girl named Adriana," she said.
"She's nice, she's a respectable woman, and don't say that she's poor. She has what I have," Mark replied, still defending Adriana. Maybe it was just on the lips because, in reality, Adriana was just Maura's shadow.
"It means you love her. you don't think about my feelings. I admit, I was guilty of leaving you, but I was also tormented when I was away from you." Maura pulled herself away from Mark, repositioning herself in the correct driving position.
Mark glanced at Maura, whom he had always loved before Adriana, he pulled his ex-lover into a hug. "Is it true that you are tormented when you are away from me? Or you just say that when you return to Indonesia. I'm sure, a girl as beautiful as you must have a lover."
Maura released Mark's hug and then pulled herself back away. "If you don't believe it, okay. I can't possibly persuade an ex-lover who has become someone's husband," she said gruffly.
"Maura, I didn't mean to hurt you. I have no choice, I have to keep loving Adriana because she is the mother of my son." Mark is getting dizzy because of his dilemma.
"Never mind, Mark. just say that you love her more! I don't need a man who already belongs to someone else!" Maura emphasized, then drove back to Mark's house.
Mark, who was still dizzy, could only surrender and leaned back on his back.
'I will make you come back to teach and love me, Mark. I can't let you touch your wife while imagining myself. I'm more worthy of you,' Maura thought with her cunning and selfish attitude. It seems that she will be a culprit for his former lover.

Arriving in front of Mark's house, Maura immediately got out of the car and asked the security guard to open the gate. She supported Mark while glancing at a woman who was staring at her from the balcony.
'It must be Adriana's name, she will get hurt seeing Mark with me. Hem, she doesn't even deserve to be Mark's wife, her style is just plain!' Maura said to herself insulting Adriana.
arriving at the door, Maura called the security guard.
"Sir, please escort him in! I have to go home now!" asked Maura.
Maura remembered that in Mark's mansion which was dominated by silver paint, there was also Dave. She didn't want that man to find out that she was escort Mark, surely the man would ridicule her. Because they never got along since long ago.
The security guard just nodded and carried Mark into the house, while Maura immediately returned to the car.
Before getting into the car, Maura glanced up at Adriana, who was still staring at her from the balcony. "You cheap woman, You must be pregnant on purpose to make Mark marry You and stop waiting for me! I swear I will take your husband!"
___
From the balcony, Adriana watched Maura leave. Her breathing hurried, she reached when she saw Mark being escorted by his former lover. she closed her eyes and tried to be patient. However, slowly, the translucent grains fell from her eyelids.
"You met her," murmured Adriana as she wiped her tears then immediately returned to the room and opened the door. She walked down the stairs and headed towards the living room.
Adriana saw the security guard carrying Mark.
"Let me take him." Adriana replaced the security guard to carry Mark to the room.
"You smell so bad, how many bottles did you drink?" muttered Adriana as she looked annoyed at Mark. The man was silent, occasionally smiling at her without the slightest sense of guilt.
after struggling to support the heavy Mark, finally arrived at the room. Adriana lay the man's body on the bed then took off his shoes.
'Can you usually go out with her this late after making love with me? What do you want? Am I nothing to you?' Adriana thought as she looked at Mark, who was already closed. Maybe the man was already in dreamland.
Adriana intends to move into Evan's bedroom, but she remembers that Dave is sleeping there. She was forced to continue sleeping with her husband even though she was annoyed.
Adriana slept on her side, her back to Mark. She felt annoyed and was reluctant to look at her husband's face, especially because the smell of alcohol was very strong on her nose.
Slowly, Adriana felt Mark:s hand hugging her waist, she immediately pushed it aside. 'Don't touch me anymore, you've used your hands to touch other women,' she thought irritably.
That night, Adriana draws distance to Mark. However, her eyes were hard to close. The shadows when Maura accompanied her husband, seemed to keep appearing in her memory. she cried because she could not bear the hurt. After a long period of patience accepting the bad treatment of in-laws and sister-in-law, now her husband has started to cheat with other women.
'Should I stick around, I'm tired of all this!' thought Adriana in her sobs. she continued to cry, while Mark fell asleep without guilt.
