In accordance with his promise, this weekend Erlangga must accompany Kayra to have fun in the mall, starting with watching movies in the cinema. Erlangga himself had forgotten, when was the last time he went to see a movie in the cinema. In fact, even when they were dating Caroline, they never went to see a movie in the cinema like she does today with Kayra.
Kayra and Erlangga are currently waiting for their lunch order, after they have finished watching the movie in the cinema.
" This movie is so sad, right? Too bad Alya, she was dumped by her own parents. His father did not want to be responsible, while his mother left him when he was a baby. What is wrong with Alya? If Alya can choose, she also doesn't want to be born out of a relationship outside of marriage, right?" Kayra seemed to get carried away with the movie she was watching earlier. He even still wiped his tears because he felt washed away by the sad story of the film he watched earlier.
" We are lucky to be born to parents who love us, huh?" continue then.
" Right, Honey. But you don't keep crying, Kayra. It's just a fiction story, not reality. If you keep crying, people will think I made you cry." Erlangga wiped the tears that would drip back on his wife's cheek.
" Sorry, Mas. I got carried away. I can't imagine if I'm in Alya's position." Kayra mende. He was grateful not he who was in the position of Alya, because it would be heartbroken if he experienced life like Alya, not wanted his existence in this world by his own parents.
" Yes, don't think about it, I don't want you to think about what you're not going through. Come on, now we're eating." Erlangga did not want Kayra to continue to remember the story in the film, and told his wife to immediately eat food, because now it has been presented in front of their table.
After eating lunch, Kayra invited Erlangga shopping to buy some clothes for Erlangga and dress for her, because if her stomach starts to bulge, her, Kayra will have difficulty wearing a subordinate skirt or trousers that she used to wear everyday while on the move.
However, in fact, the shopping plan today is precisely Erlangga himself who looks busy shopping, because Erlangga includes all the clothes that had been touched by Kayra.
" Why was this shirt bought?" Every time Erlangga put on clothes she did not like, Kayra always asked.
" Don't you just hold this shirt, honey? Then you are interested in buying this shirt, only you are confused about which one to choose?! I know, surely what you have in mind is too dear to spend money to buy a lot of clothes. Kayra, you're the boss' wife, my money won't run out if I have to spend you like this. Besides pleasing the wife will open the door of sustenance for the husband." Erlangga will give such an answer every time asked, until Kayra just resigned to accept what her husband did.
Kayra watched Erlangga's hand carrying six large paper bags in both hands after they paid for all the goods he bought to spend sixteen million dollars at least twenty-four thousand nine hundred rupiahs. The six paper bags contained some of Erlangga's clothes as well as Kayra's clothes, but more predominantly Kayra's clothes.
" I'm used to buying groceries like this, huh?" Kayra mocked her husband who did not feel awkward carrying a lot of paper bags, because for most men, it was the most reluctant thing to do. In contrast to most women, who are happy to carry some paper bag results of hunting goods in the mall, although he is not included in it.
" It's not strange to me, Kayra. I used to carry a bag like this if accompanying Caroline shopping abroad" said Erlangga.
The smile on Kayra's lips disappeared as Erlangga said that this was not the first time Erlangga had done so. Because it turns out that even before Erlangga often accompanied his ex-wife shopping and willing to bring some paper bags like now. Kayra initially suspected, this was the first time Erlangga had to carry a bag of groceries. Kayra forgot that she was not Erlangga's first wife, she was not the only woman Erlangga loved.
" Hey, why daydream?" Seeing Kayra instantly speechless and walking with her face down, Erlangga realized that her words had made Caroline's heart uncomfortable.
Erlangga moved the paper bag to one hand with a hassle because he had to calm the wife. He then wrapped one of his empty hands on Kayra's shoulders.
" I used to accompany Caroline, but I've never been as happy as I am today, dear." Trying to seduce Kayra not to sulk, Erlangga buried a kiss on the top of Kayra's head.
" Where else are you going? Watch already, eat already, shopping also already. Are you going to a kid's game now? Maybe you want to play there ..." Erlangga actually mocked Kayra, so that Kayra returned cheerful.
" Do you think I'm a child?!" kayra Protest.
Erlangga chuckled in response to the protests launched by Kayra. " Who knew her baby sister wanted to play Bom Bom Car?" ledeknya again.
" Don't bother, Mom! Riding a game like that is a danger for pregnant women if it gets hit by shocks!" Kayra glared with her shoulders folded.
" I'm just kidding, honey. I also know it's a danger, and I'm also unlikely to let you ride it." Erlangga tightened his embrace and returned to give a kiss on the cheek of the wife.
" Don't kiss in public!" With eyes rolling around them, she realized that some passersby were watching their behavior, until Kayra asked her husband not to make out in public.
" We're husband and wife, right? No problem making out either." However, Erlangga considers if what he does is a natural thing.
" It's not abroad, don't equate it like the time in Italy dong, Mas!" Kayra rebuked her stubborn husband.
" Is this the code if you want to vacation there again?" Raising his eyebrows, Erlangga seduced Kayra.
" Not really, Mom!" stirring Kayra glanced at Erlangga's left hand which was filled with paper bags. " I'll help bring some of the kids, Mom." Kayra asked her husband to give her a paper bag containing the clothes they had bought.
" It's not necessary, honey. Your hands don't have to help me carry this bag, your hands just help me hold my arms."
" Let's not be away from me, right?" Kayra glanced with a smile towards her husband.
" Of course I won't be far from you, honey." Erlangga assured Kayra that she would not be able to get away from his wife.
" We're going home now, huh!? You need to take a break, because tonight we're coming to an important person's wedding." Erlangga decided to end their fun event, because tonight they will attend the wedding reception of Mr. Ronald's son.

" Papa? Mama?" Rivaldi ran down the stairs, as he saw the presence of his parents sitting on the living room couch.
" What time is it from Bandung, Pa, Ma?" tanya Rivaldi approached Papa and his Mama.
" So after Dzuhur, Aldi," said Mama Rivaldi.
" Then Papa and Mama just rest first, let it be fresh tonight again." Rivaldi told his parents to rest first.
The arrival of Nugraha Wijaya, Papa from Rivaldi is to attend the child wedding invitation of the Chairman of the Javanese-Bali Entrepreneur Association. He who is still actively taking care of his garment company is of course invited by Mr. Ronald.
" Are you really not going to attend the wedding reception of Mr. Ronald's son, Aldi?" ask Papa Rivaldi. While he himself heard from his son if he would not come at the wedding reception.
" Yes, Pa. Later I will send Mr. Wibowo who came there," said Rivaldi to sit on the sofa with his parents.
" Wouldn't it be you yourself who comes, Aldi? Your company is a new company, if you are there, you can meet many senior entrepreneurs, so you can expand your association with other entrepreneurs, especially those who are experienced. Who knows, you could be their business partner." Nugraha advised his son to come to the wedding reception of Mr. Ronald's son.
" You can go there with Papa and Mama, Aldi." Mama Rivaldi chimed in.
Rivaldi thought for a moment, he decided he did not want to be there because he knew the Mahadika family including Erlangga would come to the event, of course he felt lazy to have to meet his former boss.
" What makes you not want to come, Aldi?" ask Mama Rivaldi later.
" Surely he was embarrassed because he had not taken a wife to bring to the wedding, Ma." Papa Rivaldi chuckled as if he was mocking his first son.
" If it's like that, why don't you get married, Aldi?" ask her mother later.
" What kind of woman do you want, son? You're thirty years old, don't choose too much if you want to get a life partner." Mama Rivaldi tried to advise Rivaldi because Rivaldi had not yet shown signs of wanting to marry.
" I don't choose much, Ma. I actually found the woman I wanted, Ma." - Rivaldi.
" Why don't you bring it to us soon, Aldi? If you've got what you want, it's best to hurry, don't delay! Introduce to Papa and Mama, so that later Papa will apply to his parents for you." As the first child, of course from Rivaldi, Nugraha wanted to immediately get a son-in-law and grandchild, considering his age is now more than half a century.
" He's taken people, Pa." Kayra is the woman Rivaldi meant to be.
" Have anyone got one?" ask Mama Rivaldi.
" Yes, that's ..." Rivaldi spread his shoulders, somewhat annoyed actually considering how Erlangga was preventing him from approaching Kayra.
Ddrrtt
Suddenly the phone in Rivaldi's hand rang, making him direct his gaze to the screen of his phone.
A message coming in from a number she didn't know was seen on her social media chat app.
" Hey, sorry I just gave you my HP number. This is my phone number."
That's the content of the message sent from someone who Rivaldi suspects is Rena aka Grace. And sure enough, after he checked the profile photo of the sender of the message earlier, Grace's face was seen in the profile photo.
" Hmmm, Pa, Ma, Papa should just take a break. Let's not get tired of coming to Mr. Ronald's show tonight." Rivaldi again told Papa and his mother to rest. Because he himself wanted to reply to the incoming message from Grace. Rivaldi doesn't want her chat with Grace to interrupt her chat with her parents.
After his parents left to obey what he asked, Rivaldi immediately climbed the stairs to his room to reply to incoming chat from Grace.
" Hey, Ren. It's okay, you must be busy, huh?" Rivaldi answered the incoming message from Grace earlier. After the second meeting, Rivaldi did ask for Grace's phone number, but Grace only had time to contact him now.
" Yes." Yeah." The short answer back to his phone made Rivaldi smile. She thought, where is there a woman who replied to her message this short other than Grace.
" Can I call? Are you busy?" Rivaldi took the initiative to change his chat conversation into a phone call.
" Just go ahead." After getting a response from Grace, Rivaldi called Grace's mobile number.
" Hey, am I really not bothering you?" rivaldi asked as her phone call was picked up by Grace.
" No."
" Oh yeah, Rena. Is your father invited to Mr. Ronald's event tonight? Mr. Ronald is the chairman of the Java-Bali regional business association, I believe Papa you were invited there."
" I don't take care of it." An indifferent reply was thrown by Grace.
" Are you not interested in coming there? You will definitely meet a lot of company leaders there, if you will inherit your Papa company later, there is no harm in you coming to the event so you can get to know them." Rivaldi imitated the advice Nugraha had given him.
" Papa didn't ask me to come there, why did I come?"
" If I take you there, do you mind? So I can meet and talk directly with your Papa, especially about the business that we talked about early Sunday." Rivaldi was certainly enthusiastic because he could approach Satria as the owner of Langgeng Putra Persada company directly.
Grace was silent for a while, not immediately answering Rivaldi's offer to take her to the wedding. If he comes to the event Mr. Ronald, it is not impossible disguise him and Rizal will be exposed.
" I have no interest in coming to such business events, not youth events. Besides, later Papa will introduce me as a future successor, which there I will certainly be much loved by Papa's friends." Grace reasoned why she objected to coming to Mr. Ronald's show.
Rivaldi chuckled at Grace's reply, he had already guessed that Grace would reject him.
" Then you come apart from your Father, so that no one will recognize you as the son of Mr. Satria." Rivaldi gave a proposal, it seems like he would like to invite Grace to come to the event later tonight.
" How?" ask Rivaldi back.
" Hmmm, okelah .. but don't tell your co-workers if I'm my Papa's son." Grace agreed to Rivaldi's request on condition.
" Okay, deal." said Rivaldi.
" What time do we leave? Meet me where?"
" I'll pick you up at seven."
" Okay, I'll send you the address of my apartment."
" You don't live with your parents?"
" I've been living in an apartment for a year now, because I want to live independently, even though it's Papa's gift."
Rivaldi chuckled at Grace's reply which he thought was too innocent.
" Okay, okay, you just tell me where the address is?"
" Okay, I'm sending you the address now. It was a long time ago, yes! I need to find a dress if you want to take me away. Bye ..." Grace wanted to end their conversation.
" Okay, bye ..." After the phone call with Grace was cut off, a message entered Rivaldi's phone. The message contained the address of Grace's apartment. And Rivaldi knew that the apartment was one of the many apartments occupied by rich people.
