Erlangga opened the door of his room, he found Kayra who was still asleep on the bed when the time was already showing at eight in the morning. He then approached and laid his body towards his wife and gave a kiss on Kayra's cheek making Kayra gasp.
" Athaghfirullahal adzim, what time is it?" Kayra immediately rose from her sleep. Because in the early hours of this day he could not go back to sleep until entering the time of dawn. After cleaning her body and performing the morning prayers, Kayra just tried to lie back because her body was tired until she finally fell asleep.
" Eight o'clock." Erlangga answered Kayra's question.
" Oh my God, I'm bad luck ...!" Kayra wanted to get up and head towards the bathroom, she was not even aware of Erlangga's existence there even though Erlangga had answered her question.
" Where are you going?" Erlangga's hand blocked Kayra's arm to hold the steps of the woman who was about to walk to the bathroom.
" Want to take a shower, want to go to the office," said Kayra even though before dawn he had taken a shower.
" Don't rush. Later you come with me all, If you are still tired you should just rest not have to go to the office," said Erlangga blocking Kayra who will take a bath.
" His father is here? What about Caroline's mother, sir?" It seemed like Kayra's consciousness had already begun to fill up and was aware of Erlangga's whereabouts beside her.
" He's gone through a critical period" Erlangga said.
" It's all because of me, sir." Kayra was downcast and bit her lips while the heat had already invaded the area around her eyes.
" Because of you?" asked Erlangga confused.
" If you hadn't married me, you wouldn't have divorced Mother Caroline .." - Kayra.
" Hey, this has nothing to do with you. My relationship with Caroline will end because there is no match between the two of us, not because I married you, Kayra." Erlangga dismissed Kayra's assumption that Kayra was the one who made Erlangga decide to divorce Caroline.
Erlangga's hand rubbed Kayra's beautiful face and brought her face closer to Kayra's face and gave kisses on Kayra's cheeks and lips.
" What happened to Caroline won't stand in the way of my divorce. I've been determined to do that, because I've been looking forward to my future with you, Kayra." Back Erlangga buried a friendly kiss on the sweet lips of his wife.
" Do you not regret divorcing Caroline and choosing ordinary people like me?" Kayra really does not understand why Erlangga actually chose ordinary women like herself to be a wife.
" You're no ordinary woman in my eyes, Kayra. You are very special to me" Erlangga said with her forehead close to Kayra's forehead.
" You must have said that to Mother Caroline. It is not impossible that I will also fate like Mother Caroline especially I am just an ordinary person." Realizing her position is not a rich person like Caroline, Kayra felt pessimistic she could have fared better than Caroline, and it is not impossible that Erlangga would take it off to get other women as Erlangga wanted.
" What I want is in you, Kayra. I'm sure you won't be as lucky as Caroline, because I will make you my only wife for now and forever" Erlangga promised Kayra that she would never let go. for eternity.
If his marriage with Erlangga was based on love and happened with normal situations like a bride in general, maybe he would feel happy to hear Erlangga's promise earlier. But unfortunately he could not be happy because the marriage was carried out because of the coercion of Erlangga.
" Don't think of anything else, just focus on your duties as my wife." Looking at the pensive Kayra, Erlangga asked that Kayra not think about what happened to Caroline.
" You haven't eaten yet, have you? I bought you breakfast. I put it in the kitchen, I'll get it for a second." Erlangga got up wanting to go out of the room to pick up the food he bought for them breakfast.
" Let me get it, sir." Kayra rushed down from the bed to precede Erlangga who wanted to prepare breakfast for her.
" Abueh ...!" But Erlangga's hand was already blocking by lifting Kayra's body with both of her sturdy arms.
" You're here, let me serve you." Erlangga put Kayra's body back on the bed.
" But, Mr ..." Of course Kayra felt bad to hear that Erlangga would serve her.
" Nothing but, this is an order!" erlangga firmly does not want to be denied. He then stepped out of the room to prepare the food he had bought before returning home.
It only takes five minutes for Erlangga to prepare the food, he returned to the room with a tray of two bowls of vegetable rhombus in his hand and two bottles of mineral water and placed them on the sofa table in his apartment.
" It's time for breakfast." Erlangga invited Kayra to have breakfast.
" I don't know if this is delicious? I only buy because I see a lot of people who bought there," he said later.
After reading the prayer first Kayra and Erlangga finally ate breakfast together. And after they finished eating, they both prepared to go to the office.
***
Erlangga only entered his study after he talked with Wira about the company owned by Rivaldi and also about the actions of Caroline who wanted to end her life. And all of a sudden the phone in his blazzer pocket rang. He immediately reached into his inner pocket to retrieve his phone.
Mama Ivone's name was seen on the phone screen until Erlangga finally answered the phone call.
" Hello how, Ma?" asked Erlangga when the phone call was connected.
" Erlangga, Caroline is conscious" said Mama Ivone.
" Thank God, Ma."
" But he keeps looking for you, Erlangga. Can you take the time to come here after coming home from work?" ask Mama Ivone hope.
Erlangga did not answer her mother-in-law's request. He thought it might be a weapon for Caroline to ask him to cancel their divorce plans.
" Mommy knows maybe you still can't accept what Vishnu did to Caroline, but right now you're just a life booster for Caroline." Mama Ivone tried to persuade Erlangga to come to see Caroline.
Erlangga let out a long sigh, but she finally agreed to come see Caroline.
" Well, I'll be there later" he said.
" Thank you, Erlangga. Mama doesn't know what to do so Caroline doesn't repeat her intention to act like yesterday again other than asking for your help." Mama Ivone's voice was heard.
" Yes already, Ma. I hung up on him first." Erlangga then turned off the phone with Mama Ivone.
Erlangga glanced at his watch, currently still not in time for rest. He turned off his laptop and went out of his room.
" Kayra, you come with me!" Erlangga deliberately invites Kayra to visit Caroline so that she is not too long there. He can use the excuse of wanting to meet a client after lunch.
" Good, sir." Kayra immediately tidied up her desk and wrapped the bag on her shoulder and walked with Erlangga downstairs in a special elevator.
" We're going to the hospital to see Caroline."
Kayra immediately turned her head towards Erlangga with wide eyes.
" Waiting Caroline's mom? I'd better not come, sir." Kayra took off the seat belt that was coiled around her body.
" You stay with me, Kayra!" Erlangga forced Kayra to keep her company.
" Wouldn't I bother you and Mom?" Kayra was more afraid that Caroline's family would suspect her arrival with Erlangga.
" I told you not to think about Caroline's problems, just focus on your job serving your husband." Erlangga does not like Kayra always assume that her husband's wife will be a bully of her friendship with Caroline.
Kayra could only obey what Erlangga ordered her, rather than her husband arguing with her.
Less than an hour Erlangga and Kayra reached the hospital where Caroline was being treated. Kayra deliberately walked a little behind Erlangga, she really had to be careful so that no one would suspect her relationship with her boss.
" I'll just wait here, sir." When they reached Caroline's ward, Kayra chose to wait outside and did not go inside to see Caroline.
" Yes, then you wait here, don't go anywhere!" Erlangga asked Kayra not to go far from the room where Caroline was being treated.
" Yes, sir."
After seeing Kayra sitting on the sofa, Erlangga then entered the room where Caroline was.
" Erlangga .." Carolie's voice was heard softly calling Erlangga's name when she saw the presence of her husband.
" Erlangga, have you come?" Mama Ivone who was sitting near Caroline's gurney immediately got up and gave a place for Erlangga to sit in a chair near Caroline's gurney.
" City ..." This time Caroline called out sobbing.
" What you're doing is bo doh, Caroline! What are you thinking until you are this close? Would you not feel sorry for your mother if you had not been helped yesterday?" Erlangga scolded Caroline for her actions.
Caroline grew sobbing at Erlangga's words. He hoped Erlangga would feel concerned, at least the man would delay his divorce suit, but Erlangga instead said in a vexed tone. There is no more sweet attitude that man used to always make her like the happiest woman on earth.
While outside, Kayra who was sitting waiting for Erlangga felt awkward when she saw the presence of Mama Ivone who had just come out of Caroline's room.
" Good day, Mother." Kayra tried to greet Mama Ivone as Mama Ivone looked at her.
" Who are you?" ask Mama Ivone astonished.
" Hmmm, I'm Kayra, Mom. I am the secretary of Mr. Erlangga. It just so happened that we wanted to meet with clients after coming from here, so Mr. Erlangga told me to come along here." Kayra followed what Erlangga had asked her to lie, even though she herself did not agree to have to tell a lie like this.
" Oh ..." Mama Ivone then sat down in front of the seat occupied by Kayra.
" How's Mother Caroline doing, Mom?" kayra asked her to try to make small talk by asking Caroline about her condition.
" Caroline is awake .." said Mama Ivone.
" Thank God, may Caroline's mother recover quickly." Kayra wishes Caroline well again.
" Thank you, son Kayra." replied Mama Ivone.
While waiting for Erlangga who was talking to Caroline inside, Kayra also talked to Mama Ivone so that she did not feel awkward or suspicious behavior Mama of Caroline.
" Sorry, Mom. I'm going to the toilet first." Kayra asked Mama Ivone for permission to go to the toilet.
" Oh, please ... " Mama Ivone invited Kayra who was about to pee in the toilet.
Shortly after Kayra went into the toilet, two women entered the room where Kayra and Mama Ivone were talking.
" Where is your son, Mrs Ivone?" Helen who came with Agnes asked Ivone in a stern tone.
" Mrs Helen?"
Mama Ivone is shocked by the arrival of Helen accompanied by Agnes. He also noticed Agnes, a young woman he had never seen before. Agnes was seen standing with her hands folded on her chest. Agnes smiled cynically as if feeling happy and satisfied for what happened with Caroline.
" You know what, Mrs Ivone? What your son did could shame the good name of the Mahadika Gautama family! People would think my son had a wife who was stressed out to the point of trying to kill himself!" The words Helen spoke in a high tone.
" I'm sorry my son, Mrs Helen." Mama Ivone immediately apologized because Helen accused Caroline of humiliating the good name of Erlangga's extended family.
" If Mrs Ivone's son thinks with this action she can get my son to drop his divorce suit, your son is wrong Mrs Ivone! Erlangga was already round to part with his useless wife!" Every sentence spoken by Helen was like a dagger incision that hurt Mama Ivone, because after all a mother would not be willing to see her child insulted like this.
" I'm sorry again, Mrs Helen. But I think Caroline did not intentionally do that just to get the attention of Erlangga, Madam!" Mama Ivone tried to refute Helen's remarks.
" It's impossible! She definitely did not want to lose her status as the wife of Erlangga, right? Isn't that your own child's choice who loves his career too much? What is the lack of being the wife of Erlangga Mahadika Gautama? Does the wealth of our family not make your child satisfied to still work as a model? Basic wife .don't know the lucky!!" Helen still continues to attack Caroline through Mama Ivone, .
" Mama! What's Mama doing here?" Erlangga who heard a loud noise outside quickly stepped outside Caroline's room, and she immediately rebuked her Mama who was insulting Caroline through Mama Ivone.
" Erlangga? Are you here?" Helen is shocked to find Erlangga coming out of Caroline's room. He did not expect that his son was currently there.
" What is Mama doing here?" Erlangga now glanced towards Agnes. " And why did Mama bring him here?" furious Erlangga was not happy with the presence of his mother, especially Agnes he knew always trying to attract attention from her.
