BEING THE CEO'S MISTRESS
Meet Who Was It?

When he came out of Nugraha's room, Rivaldi did not immediately leave his father's office. Of course Erlangga's arrival at Jaya Raya Garment's office was beyond his expectations, so he needed to feel he knew what Erlangga was talking about with his Papa.

Rivaldi deliberately waited in the room of the deputy director who happened to be currently not in his place, until Erlangga left his Papa room. And after he saw Erlangga say goodbye and then disappeared from the elevator door, Rivaldi rushed to see his Papa back.

" What's he going to do here, Pa? What is Papa talking to him about?" Given the talk time used by his father and Erlangga long enough, making Rivaldi really feel curious.

" You're not gone, son?" Thinking his son had left his office, Nugraha was surprised to see Rivaldi was still there.

" Where could I possibly go to see Erlangga coming to see Papa. What did he say, Pa?" I can't wait for Rivaldi to hear an explanation from Nugraha.

" Erlangga asked Papa's permission to meet with your Mama" Nugraha explained.

Rivaldi's eyeballs are perfectly rounded to hear about Erlangga's intentions and goals to meet Nugraha.

" He wants to see Mama? For what, Pa? Does he know about Mama?" Anxiety immediately felt Rivaldi.

" Erlangga wants to talk to your Mama, because she wants to tell you about your missing daughter first" Nugraha explained.

" Erlangga knows where my sister is, Pa? Where is he now?" This time Rivaldi was more enthusiastic because it concerned his half-brother. He could imagine that his mother would be happy if she knew that her daughter's whereabouts were now known.

" He was with Erlangga and you also met your stepbrother, Aldi."

A scratch on Rivaldi's forehead was visible, as he did not understand who his Papa was referring to.

" Don't you mean Papa?" tanyanya's confused.

" The woman who is your Mama's daughter, Kania Pratiwi is the woman who is currently the wife of Erlangga, and you also know who she is."

Rivaldi was stunned with his mouth open as the Nugraha explained who the woman his Papa meant.

" Kayra? I-I mean Papa is Kayra??" It is hard to believe the reality expressed by Erlangga through his father. Even Rivaldi had sat on the sofa when he knew his half-sister was Kayra, the woman he was chasing even she fought with Erlangga.

" That's right, son." Nugraha then patted his eldest son's shoulder. " From now on, forget your ambition to have Kayra! He's your stepbrother. She already belonged to another man and is currently pregnant with the son of that man." Nugraha advises Rivaldi to adopt Kayra for Erlangga.

Rivaldi snorted, he guessed that Erlangga had told all his Papa about their rivalry so far.

" Erlangga wants to meet and talk to your mom about Kayra. However, she wanted your mother not to tell you who your mother really was when she met Kayra." Nugraha continued his story.

" He forbid Mama from admitting as Kayra's parents? That's not fair, Pa! My mother has been suffering because she misses her daughter. Why is it forbidden to admit this in front of their children?" the Rivaldi protest disagreed with Erlangga.

" Kayra had no idea that she had been cared for by foster parents all this time. Because he considers the parents who have raised him are his biological parents. It won't be easy to accept that fact, son. Especially when Kayra is pregnant young, it can affect the fetus, if she is shocked when she knows the truth." Nugraha mentioned the reason Erlangga did not want Kayra to know about it at this time.

" Erlangga has shown good faith, wants to tell your Mama where your Mama's daughter is. We should appreciate that. If Papa is in his position, Papa will also definitely do the same with Erlangga," concluded Nugraha.

Kayra removed her face after performing Maghrib prayers. His eyes point to a wall clock in the room that shows 18:10 minutes.

Kayra's feet stepped towards the nightstand to retrieve her phone that she had placed there. She wanted to contact her husband who had not yet arrived home.

" The contact number is inactive or outside the service area. Try a few other moments." Only the machine operator answered the phone call.

" Well, tumben?" thought later.

Kayra then tries to call Gita's phone, hoping that Gita can tell Erlangga to call her back.

" Assalamualaikum's chat. Gita MBAK. Ma'am, is my husband still in the office?" When her phone call was connected, Kayra immediately asked her husband whereabouts to Gita.

" Waalaikumsalam, Mom. Sorry, didn't you come to the office today, Mom?" Gita answered Kayra's confused question.

" My husband didn't come to the office today?" Kayra gasped at Gita's reply. Because this morning, her husband said goodbye to her to go to the office. Today, her husband did not come to her office. Where did her husband go? That's the question Kayra had in mind.

" right, Mom. Just now there was a schedule to meet the client, Mr. Wira who represented, because Mr. boss was not present." Gita.

" Oh, yeah already. Thank you, Ma'am. Ariston ..." Kayra ended her phone call with Gita.

" Color, ma'am." Gita still had time to return the greeting Kayra said before the phone call was cut off.

" Where are you going, huh? Go to the office but don't go there. Now his HP could not be reached. Why doesn't Mas Erlangga tell me the same story, huh?" Kayra's heart suddenly became anxious because her husband suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Kayra put her phone back on the nightstand and walked outside her room in a hurry.

" Kayra, don't be so tight! Careful, it'll fall!" Helen who was below directly reprimanded Kayra who was walking quickly down the stairs.

" Erlangga has provided an elevator for you to go down and up, why still use the stairs? If your granddaughter is here for anything, how about it?" Helen's worried about the fetus in Kayra's stomach.

" Ma, where's Mas Erlangga going, huh? How come, until this hour hasn't come home? I called the office, said Mas Erlangga not coming there today." Kayra worried for her husband to the point of ignoring Helen's worries.

" Erlangga's not going to the office?" Helen did not know if today Erlangga did not come to the office of Mahadika.

" Yes, Ma. The HP I also contacted was off," Kayra said in an anxiety-filled manner.

" Let's ask Mama Papa, who knows Papa knows where Erlangga went. Usually Erlangga always tell Papa if there is something important." Helen was not told Erlangga was going to Bandung, so she did not know where Erlangga went.

" What's up, Ma?" Coincidentally, Krisna had just come out of the room, because it was soon dinner time.

" Pa, does Papa know where Erlangga went? Kayra said there was nothing in her office. Today Erlangga did not come to the office. HP is also inactive. Usually Erlangga always says to Papa if there's something important, right?" Helen asked Erlangga's whereabouts to her husband.

" Oh yes, Erlangga .. there is something he must take care of outside the city. Last afternoon Erlangga had time to give news to Papa," said Krishna. Erlangga did tell Nugraha about his departure to Bandung.

" Kok, Mas Erlangga didn't tell me, Pa?" kayra asked disappointed, because her husband was not open to her.

" You don't have to worry, Kayra. Erlangga's on duty out of town." Krishna calmed his son-in-law back down. He glanced at his wife and coded her to understand what she meant.

" Papa has said you don't have to worry, meaning Erlangga is not having any problems. So you don't have to think too much about Erlangga, Kayra." Understanding what her husband hinted at, Helen helped calm her daughter-in-law as she wrapped her arms around Kayra's shoulders. " We're eating now, yuk!" Helen took Kayra to dinner.

" I want to wait for Mas Erlangga to come home, Ma." Kayra refused, because she wanted to wait for her husband before eating the food.

" Erlangga might be home late at night, Kayra. He is still in Bandung." Not wanting her son-in-law to wait for Erlangga, Krishna finally mentioned where Erlangga was currently.

" Mas Erlangga in Bandung, Pa?" tanyakanya.

" Yes, he said he'd meet the client back at dinner tonight, he'd be back home pretty late." Krishna explained.

" Who did Erlangga go with, Pa? Did you bring a driver?" Hearing Krisna mention Erlangga will come home late, Kayra was even more afraid, because when leaving this morning, Erlangga drove his own car.

" It looks like Erlangga left alone to Bandung," said Krisna.

" If Erlangga is tired, maybe he will stay one night there" said Krishna.

" Stay, Pa?" Kayra had to stay away from her husband for now.

" I hope Erlangga can quickly finish his business there. You don't have to worry." Krisna responded casually, as she knew Erlangga could handle her problems well.

" Pa, should we ask Mr. Koko to get Mas Erlangga there?" kayra's proposal which was responded to by Krishna's godliness.

" Erlangga is an adult, Kayra. Not a kid to be picked up." Still with a small laugh, Krishna commented on her daughter-in-law's proposal earlier.

" Yes, we'd better have dinner, Kayra." Helen invites Kayra to dinner. " Jum, please call Ms. Sari, tell her to join dinner." Helen had ordered ART in the house to call her iron.

" Well, Madam." said Bi Jumi immediately carry out the orders of her superior.

***

Before entering Isya's time, Erlangga had arrived at Nugraha's house. Previously Nugraha had told Arina in advance there would be guests who came to visit his house, although Nugraha did not mention who the guest was.

Arina was flabbergasted when she found the figure of Erlangga who was now standing at the entrance of her house. She did not expect that the guest called her husband would visit their house was Erlangga, the child she had once taken care of as a child.

" Eagle?"

" Ashalamuaikum, ma'am." Erlangga greeted Arina, walked over, kissed her back and hugged the body of the woman who turned out to be her mother-in-law.

" Waalaikumsalam, Eagle. Y-are you here?" The shock mixed with confusion now Arina felt, until she turned to her husband as if demanding an explanation for what happened at this time.

" Erlangga came to Papa's office this afternoon. Erlangga asked permission to meet and wanted to talk to Mama." Nugraha then explained what Erlangga meant to come to their house.

" We'd better eat first before we talk later." Nugraha invited Erlangga to have dinner together before they talked about Erlangga's true purpose in coming to their place.

After they ate the dinner menu cooked by Arina herself, now the three of them were in the work room at the house Nugraha.

Arina sat side by side with Nugraha, while Erlangga sat on a separate chair from the two of them.

" Ma, Erlangga this afternoon came to Papa's office and told me if he had found the child Mama had been looking for." Nugraha opened the conversation first.

Arina was wide open to hear her husband's words, and her eyes now turned to Erlangga, expecting a man who was very close to her as a child. While his heart seemed to be illuminated by the light after a long time felt empty without any news of his daughter.

" Is that right, Eagle? You know where Kania is now?" I can't wait for Arina to find out where her daughter is.

" right, Mom. I've found Mom's daughter. And now he's in my house. Her current daughter's name is Kayra Ainun Zahra. Her parents gave her that name. However, Kayra did not know that she was not the biological child of the parents who had been taking care of her since childhood." Erlangga told me who Arina's real daughter was.

" Oh God ..." Clear liquid flowed down Arina's cheeks. He felt happy and needed to feel right now, knowing that his daughter was still alive. " How's Kania now? Who's the one who's been taking care of Kania all this time, Lang?" Arina was unable to stem the longing for her daughter.

" Kayra's fine, Mom. And the person who took care of Kayra since infancy was the assistant midwife who helped Mom give birth to Kayra. Sari's mother and her husband wanted children until they chose to take care of Kayra as their child." Erlangga tells about the two parents who had been considered biological parents by Kayra.

" Assistant midwife?" Arina recalled, there was indeed an assistant midwife when she gave birth to her baby. However, he did not have time to think if the assistant midwife was the one who had been with his daughter.

" right, Mom. I hope you don't hate Sari's mother for hiding Kayra from Mom. During this time Ibu Sari and her husband give affection and attention like parents to their biological children. They taught Kayra kindness, until now Kayra has grown into a kind-hearted, sincere and gentle woman." Hoping that Arina does not blame Mother Sari, Erlangga mentioned the upbringing of Ms. Sari and her husband who formed the character of Kayra into a woman of good personality.

" No, I won't be angry. I should be grateful that they've been caring and giving me affection since Kania was born." Can not be denied, there is a sense of regret in the heart of Arina for abandoning her baby. " Lang, can you meet Kania? I want to meet, I want to hug and apologize for what Mom left her when she was born." Arina pleaded with her daughter.

" Of course I can meet Kayra, Mom. But, I beg you to hold back and not tell Kayra who she really is." Erlangga allows Arina to meet his wife, but on the condition that Arina must fulfill.

" Why, Lang?" Arina was confused by the terms of the tang proposed by Erlangga.

" Kayra is .. She's my wife, ma'am."

" Your wife, Eagle?" Arina was stunned to hear the acknowledgement of Kayra's status,

" right, Mom. Kayra is pregnant with our first child. That's why I asked Mom not to mention Kayra's past. Because Kayra does not know if she is not the biological child of Sari's mother and Ariyanto's father. During this time Kayra's adoptive parents kept the secret tight, because they didn't want to lose Kayra. I'm afraid Kayra isn't ready to accept this fact anytime soon, I'm afraid it will affect the condition of the fetus in her stomach." Elangga explained clearly the reason why she asked Arina to hold back even though she knew Arina would be very emotional if she met Kayra.

" Kayra is currently pregnant with our granddaughter, Ma. Mama doesn't want our granddaughter to be okay, does she?" Nugraha also gave understanding to his wife in order to understand Kayra's current condition.

" Yes, Pa." Of course Arina herself wants her grandson to be born healthy. " Eagle, can you see a photo of Kania? She must be beautiful ..." Erlangga is a handsome man and a CEO of a large company, it is certain to choose a beautiful woman who will accompany his life. That's what Arina had in mind.

" Mommy had met with Kayra before, Mom" Erlangga said, he then took his phone to show a photo of Kayra.

" Well to meet? When, Eagle?" Arina was curious when Erlangga mentioned she had met Kayra, but she did not realize it was her son.

" In the toilet during the wedding reception of Mr. Ronald some time ago in Jakarta. Didn't you meet a woman in the toilet who had made you stunned?" Erlangga tries to open up Arina's memory of an accidental encounter between Kayra and Arina.

" In the toilet?" Arina rounded her eyeballs. Of course he still remembered the encounter with the beautiful young lady who was very friendly to him. And, yes he remembered, if the beautiful woman was Erlangga's wife because when it came Helen and called the name Erlangga.

" Oh God ..." Arina cupped her own face with both palms, as if not believing the event was her first encounter with her daughter. It was only fitting that he felt something when he saw Kayra, who he also did not understand why the feeling could appear.

" Pa, Mama remember." Arina now gripped her husband's arm tightly. " God, she's very beautiful and well mannered, Pa. I didn't think it was Mama's own son, Pa." Arina sobbed on her husband's shoulder. It is no longer bearable Arina's happy feeling to see her lost little baby first now grows into a soft-hearted beautiful woman with a positive aura of pliers emanating from Kayra's beautiful face.

***

Kayra seemed restless, the time was almost twelve in the evening, but her husband still did not come home. The news from Erlangga he did not get.

Kayra felt like crying because her husband disappeared without any news. The feeling of worry and longing made his heart unsettled and unable to sleep.

Chequelek

Kayra turned her gaze towards the door when she heard the sound of the door opening. Until it appears the figure of Erlangga who came in turned on the lights because at this time only the sleeping lights were lit in the room.

" May ..." Kayra immediately welcomed her by hugging her husband's body and crying on her husband's chest.

" Kayra? You haven't slept?" Erlangga did not expect that his wife was currently still awake.

" How can I sleep? Mas didn't give any news that Mas was going out of town and home tonight." Kayra pulled her body from Erlangga's body because her kiss felt a different scent from the clothes Erlangga was wearing. It was not the masculine scent that smelled on her nose, but the soft and feminine scent that she felt. A suspicious look was immediately directed at Kayra to the husband with a frown.

" Who did you meet?" kayra asked in full search with her hands ruffled by her waist.
