Butterfly In You
Chapter 23: A Lawyer And Notary


A mirror above the sink reflected Shehan's face. The man was standing there, examining the bruises adorning the corners of his lips. Shehan's thumb rubbed the passage in an instant.


'It took a few days for these bruises to disappear, ' he told himself. 'It looks like I have to work from home at least until this bruised blue color fades.'


Shehan changed his clothes after choosing such an initiative. He replaced his work coat with a dark green shirt with light beige trousers.


He sat down in his study, picked up and checked some of the work documents that had been arranged in the filing cabinet behind the chair while waiting for Miranda-her secretary to deliver the documents from the office.


While inside her room, Lilis was walking pacing back and forth confused. His right fist was unceasingly tapping his chin while thinking of finding the answer to the question he had asked himself.


"How's this? Did I just meet Mr Murad and ask him about what happened at the mall?" Lilis' forehead frowned confused. "G ...."


Long breaths are created by unstable emotions. Suddenly Lilis was silent, stopping tapping her chin. His eyes turned around while considering something. That's the decision he's going to make.


"If you don't dare to ask, I'll keep wondering. I'd better ask Mr. Murad, "he said finding a solution.


Lilis nodded a few times, steadying herself. Once convinced, the girl exits the room looking for Shehan. For about seven minutes he went around room by room. However, the existence of the master he never found.


Nearly giving up, it was fortunate that Lilis passed Mbok Tum. Unwilling to miss the opportunity, Lilis finally asked Shehan's whereabouts to the middle-aged woman.


"Bok, have a look at Mr Murad, no?"


"Mr Murad ...." Mbok Tum remembered for a moment. "Oh, I saw you walk into his study."


A pair of Lilis eyes sparkled instantly. "Thank you, Mbok."


After watching the thin smile review unfold on the old face of the housekeeper, Lilis rushed off to her employer's study.


Geck! Geck! Geck!


Shehan turned to the closed door from behind his desk.


Geck! Geck! Geck!


"Lake in!" At the second knock call, the Turkish man just made a sound to give an answer.


Chequek!


Lilis head looked inside. "Excuse me, Master!"


Shehan thinks knocking on the door is Mbok Tum to tell him Miranda has arrived. It turns out that what appears is the face of the baby sitter-daughter.


"What's up, Lilis?"


"Sorry Mister. Is Mister busy? I have something to talk about."


"Come in!" Shehan did not explain the situation, but he immediately gave permission.


Lilis just dared to enter the workspace of his boss after being allowed. He slowly closed the door again, then stood in front of Shehan with his hands clutched together in front of the skirt.


"What do you want to talk about?" Shehan took a relaxed sitting position, face to face with Lilis.


Lilis did not immediately reply. The obvious bruise coloring the corner of the man's lips had caught Lilis's attention, making her pay attention for quite a long time.


"Sorry sir, actually I want to ask the situation of Ms Tina? Because of the time at the mall, Tuan said Ms. Tina had an upset stomach. And one more thing, that's the corner of Sir's lip why is it hurt?" Lilis pulled her index finger which had pointed to Shehan's bruise.


Shehan turned his gaze away for a moment then came back face to face with Lilis. "This bruised wound is your ex-boyfriend who made it!"


"Well! Mr Hendra! How can you, sir? How did it happen?" Spontaneous Lilis gasp.


"long story. Obviously, there has been a misunderstanding between us. But the problem is clear and it's settled now" Shehan said in a calm manner.


"Then how's Tina, sir? Is it healed?"


"It."


"Has your bruise been treated? Can I get you some medicine for sir?"


"I treated myself."


All of Lilis' questions were answered quickly and briefly by Shehan. Now there was no longer any reason for Lilis to continue to be in the workspace of her superiors. Know yourself, Lilis was resigned to retreat.


"Then, excuse me, sir. May you heal soon."


"Yes." Yeah."


Lilis gave a brief nod then turned her body towards the door. It's like Lilis and Shehan's relationship. There was no meaningful closeness let alone the familiarity between them. Shehan only talked to Lilis when there was something the man wanted to ask.


If there is none, then Shehan will be indifferent and cold. Greeting Lilis that the girl was the one who reprimanded her first. Even so, the two people who do not have any chemistry will carry out the marriage. Surely their household will feel bland. It can be concluded from now on.

Tomorrow.


Shehan has been working from home since yesterday afternoon. This morning, all her paperwork was delivered to her house by Miranda. Even if there is a meeting with colleagues, Shehan chooses to use the application only.


Until noon, the man worked hard. When mealtime came, Shehan stopped his activities. To fill the energy supply with nutritious food that has been prepared Mbok Tum at the dining table.


Lilis, the girl spent time helping with Mbok Tum's work to clean up the house, because Nurbanu still lives with Sarah for the next six days. After washing dishes used to cook, Lilis went to her room which was in the corridor near the dining room.


The rooms of the housekeepers at Shehan's house were deliberately made side by side there. It was Shehan's own wish that he conveyed to the architect and also reflected in the design of the house plan, when his two-story house equipped with a garden and a large swimming pool will be built.


An hour after lunch, Shehan had two guests. They are Mr. Sebastian-lawyer Shehan and I Gusti Eka Kertiani, a woman who works as a notary and is a colleague of Mr. Sebastian.


Apparently the arrival of the two guests was to bring a prenuptial agreement letter previously requested by Shehan. The letter would later be made into two original ones and Lilis would have it too.


Shehan welcomed the two guests into his study. The three people sat occupying two sofas placed facing each other. While one other sofa is the size of one person who is on the middle side between the other two long sofas is still empty.


"Good day, sir. I came with Ms. Eka to continue our conversation the other day regarding the prenuptial agreement letter you requested. Eka's mother has also brought a draft letter containing your request and wishes, which will be written in the prenuptial agreement."


Shehan nodded a few times. "Have all my wishes and requests been recorded in the draft letter?" ask Mr. Sebastian.


"Already, Sir. Please read it first before giving the letter to your future wife!" Mr. Sebastian turned to look at his co-worker. "Mother Eka, please show Mr. Murad the draft of the prenuptial agreement."


"All right." Eka's mother took her office bag from the floor and placed it on her lap. He reached into the bag, then took out a light green map from there.


"This is the draft letter, sir." The map containing the letter was presented to Shehan. "Please check again. It's possible that there's still a desire Mr. has not been recorded, I will put in the list of requests."


Shehan quiet. His net moved down, reading one by one the points in the letter. "Not necessary" he said later. "All my wishes are written in this letter. I'll call my future wife so she can read and sign it."


Shehan grabbed the phone from the top of the nightstand next to the sofa. He connected the call to his own home phone. Only a few seconds later, the phone device in the middle room rang.


"Hello ...." Lilis was the one who received the call.


Recognizing the voice that answered, Shehan immediately spoke to the point. "Lilis, come to my study now. I have something to talk to you about."


"Good sir." Lilis returned the phone to its original place. Depart to Shehan's workspace via the left side of the road in the living room.
