Weekends and afternoons are the most suitable time for office workers nongki - beautiful nongki with colleagues. Not only colleagues, those who are married and have children also make time like this for the holidays.
Some take a short vacation, there are also those who defend to places far away to stay. This is what Dika is doing now. Of course, by force. He could not refuse Rianti's invitation lately because he was also hiding something.
Sarah's mouth is currently a time bomb for her. In fact, no one would think strange - strange about the relationship Dika and dr. Rhymes. After all, they always met in the hospital, a place filled with many people.
After all, they have no relationship. Rima even often stayed away from Dika. They didn't meet all that intelligence to be said to be an affair. Instead, Dika is more worried about himself and Sarah who might be caught by Rianti.
In addition, there was one more thing that made Dika unable to act rashly. Sarah, that woman could somehow easily influence someone. Dika praised the ability of the woman first, but now, it turned out to be his own master's eating weapon for her.
“What are you daydreaming?”, Rianti approached Dika who pretended to be busy removing grill equipment from the warehouse.
In fact, there was already a household assistant who was assigned to lift the grill equipment to the back garden.
“Huh, I'm not here to sit - sit looking at the scenery. At least a job as small as lifting the grill equipment I have to do in order to stay sane in the holidays this time.”, said Dika was just about to go lift two more grill equipment before Rianti pulled his arm.
“Why the hell did you never give anyone a chance to improve themselves. I understand we haven't had chemistry at all since we got married. But, we're husband and wife. Can you try a little for the sake of Putera?”, said Rianti.
“Hm? Where'd you get your guidance from to go this far? I thought you were just in drama. But this has been too long for drama. What do you really want?”, asked Dika lowered the grill equipment down.
A housekeeper who was still milling about offered to help her lift, but Dika refused.
“I've told you so many times. I want to improve our relationship.”, replied Rianti.
They deliberately kept their voices down so that no one else would hear them. Papa can not know that all this time this is their relationship. Pretend - pretend well - fine.
“I've told you too. Our relationship from the beginning was not good. I don't want to repeat everything. So, before I put out hurtful words, we better end this home-based game and go home. I'mtired. Next week I have a big meeting outside the city.”, Dika told Rianti.
“What do you want to say, huh? Just say it now, there is no need to pretend to be keeping my feelings.”, said Rianti still pulling her husband's arm.
“Rianti.”, Dika said with great emphasis.
“Papa, mom. It took him a long time. Aunty's got all the meat out, you know. Later on, when it ripens. I'm hungry.”, suddenly the Prince came to them.
Rianti immediately wiped away the drop of tears that almost fell on her cheek. Dika did not even see it, because Rianti held it with all her might. Dika went straight to his son and carried him.
“What meat do you want?”, asked Dika to Putera. He held the Prince with one hand while the other he used to carry a grill.
“Towder. Calamari. Meat. Said there was a mushroom - the mushroom was also.”, said Putera very happy.
“Fungus? Not that you should not eat mushrooms, later his allergies relapse.”, reply Dika.
He remembered very well the last time the Prince ate mushrooms at his school fireworks show, the Prince had to get medical treatment immediately because both of them just realized, their child had an allergy to the fungal variant.
Even so, it has not been discovered what kind of fungus makes Putera allergic. Ever since she could eat - a heavy meal, her nanny had already given her mushrooms, but it was fine. So, it is possible, Putera is only allergic to certain variants.
“Putera just look. Not eating. The prince only wants to eat meat. Papa later baked his delicious yes.”, Putera just keep talking all the way they headed to the back garden.
The Rianti family has a Villa located at the top. All the tea plantations there are his family's. In the past, a quarter of it was owned by the Dika family. However, ever since papa Dika went bankrupt due to gambling, all his tea estates had to be sold to the Rianti family.
Even so, papa Dika still wanted to manage it. Not only tea plantations, some other plantation businesses also ludes taken over. From there came his second marriage. Win - win solution.
Every time Dika looked at the plantation in the backyard of his villa, every time he hated Rianti and his family. In fact, deep down, he hated his father. But, if not for the idea of the Rianti family, his life would not be as complicated as it is now.
Therefore, Sarah and Dika fit in when they meet. They understand each other's destruction. Why do other people have a normal life flow while they do not. Why should they meet such parents while others do not.
It is also what makes Dika can not hate the Prince even though he knows that the child is not his child. He didn't want the boy to feel anything like himself. Hating the adults.

“Have drunk it. Why the hell, you always make this drink as your escape. Why do you never realize that this habit that makes your life destroyed.”, Dimas has shouted.
He had trouble stopping Sarah. If the woman drinks and doesn't contact her, she probably won't care about her. But, how could Dimas leave her after listening to that shrill voice.
“Dim, help me meet with Arya. Only once. I promise you once, only. I won't see him again after that.”, said Sarah pleading with Dimas.
“For what else? Besides, why are you asking me for help. You just contact him.”, replied Dimas managed to marginalize the glass containing the drink from the presence of Sarah.
Sarah shook her head. He's been staggering. I don't know how many glasses he's had tonight.
“She no longer wants to pick up my phone. He never returned my whatsapp. He never visited the usual place again. I don't know how I'm gonna get to him. Do I have to go to his office?”, said Sarah speaking between conscious and unconscious.
“Means already. He ended his relationship with you. Why are you asking him again. You can start your new life.”, Dimas wants to get Sarah out of that bar, but Sarah keeps her off.
“Wait.. Why can't it? I'm just apologizing to him. Not more. I want to talk to him one last time and leave. Can't it?”, asked Sarah with a reassuring expression.
“College, Dimas. You can help me, right?”, asked Sarah.
“She doesn't want to meet you let alone me. He will not pick up his phone even though the one who contacted him was me.”, Dimas said.
“He's your best friend. You guys are friends. Why won't he take your phone call. Come on..”, Sarah whines hitting - hit Dimas.
"Why are you so eager to meet him. What else have you done?", asked Dimas. He thought there must be something else between them. Sarah insists on meeting him.
"He saw me meet the woman" Sarah said.
He did not want to mention her name or mention her status to Arya now.
"Who? Who do you mean?", asked Dimas.
He had a guess, but he wasn't sure.
"Dinda.Arya was very angry with me because I met her. I also said things I shouldn't have said. And I feel sorry. It was a good time for me to talk to him. But I was already emotional.", Sarah sipped her glass again.
"Why are you defending that woman? Why are you defending him? You should be on my side. You're the only one who has it now, Dimas", cried Sarah out of control.
"Stop drinking. We're going home now. If only I could leave you alone here. But I can't."
"What does that woman have and I don't? My fault is only one. Forgetting my love for Arya for a moment and loving you. Am I that guilty? I really don't understand."
"Yes, we're guilty of that. He already has his life. And come on, we're living our lives too."
"Huh.. What kind of life? From the beginning I had no life either. I gave it to Arya. Can we go back in time? I'll fix everything."
'Huh, he's been bouncing around who didn't - no. I better take him home. Anyhow.'
“Later I'll find a way. Now you go home first and promise not to go to this place again.”, said Dimas made a deal.
“Hm.. only if you can help me meet Arya. I won't drink anymore. No, even I will not approach this place again.”, Sarah said as if negotiating.

The sky started to darken, the afternoon was already approaching when the Saints tried to find a taxi home.
He has entered his home address and just press the 'Booking' button'. However, the phone call distracted him.
RUGA.
'Why did he call me again? Don't you just lift it up?', thought the Sacred in heart.
Rega is a former lover of Saints who has been with him for months. However, the Saints had already severed their relationship about 1 week ago.
In fact, the Saints had long felt that their relationship was over. However, Rega did not understand until he had to clarify it through a meeting. And that's what he did about a week ago.
He said Rega was not the right person. He was good. Initially. The more he came here, the more he felt deceived by it. He considered this relationship has begun to be toxic and must be ended.
Suci thought, the man had already accepted the fact that their relationship was over. Because he no longer heard anything from the man.
He doesn't call her anymore. No more waiting in front of the office or not often visit him in places - places Holy hang-out with friends.
But, today, the man contacted her again.
Long thought, finally Suci pressed the reject button. He cannot take the call of the man. Or the vicious circle he once passed would repeat itself.
Suci began to refocus on her phone to book a taxi.
After pressing the 'booking' button, Sacred waited while circulating her gaze around.
And there he found Rega standing looking at him. Right on the bench of the cafe which is across the building leading to his office.
The saint was instantly worried and scared. He looked around. Everyone is busy with their own business.
It was then that he saw Arya who was walking alone. The man seemed to have lost his secretary and bought his own koi, or was on the run wanting to smoke, or even was wanting to breathe fresh air.
Sacred instantly approached and embraced Arya until the man was startled.
"Ci, what the hell are you?", asked Arya in surprise and was about to let go of the Sacred handrails.
"Mr Arya, plis. Can you help me for a second. Across there is my ex-boyfriend. We've broken up but it looks like he still wants to meet. I don't want to see him. He is not a good person" Suci explained.
"Yes, but that's not how Ci works either. If other people see let alone my wife, can misunderstand" said Arya.
"Just a minute. Okay, I don't hold your hand. I just want to book a taxi online. But Mr. Arya stays here, yes. Until Taxi comes. Pli. I didn't want him to come up to me and make a fuss" said the Saint.
From the look on her face, Arya can judge that the woman is not lying.
"Yes, you have booked a taxi online nyam" asked Arya.
At least the woman had already let go of her handrails.
"Which is your ex?", asked Arya trying to circulate her gaze in all directions.
"Don't be seen sir will be significant" said the Holy.
"Yes nice dong. So that he does not do strange - strange" said Arya who has a different view.
"Are you in the taxi?", asked Arya again.
He only has 20 minutes to smoke before the next meeting. Yeah, Arya's trying to get downstairs because she wants to smoke.
Hours like this usually Bryan and Erick have finished whipping. He could use this time to keep quiet - keep smoking. If the two of them saw it, one of them would have leaked it to Dinda.
"No, Sir. Please wait a moment, yes", the Saints are heartbreaking.
"Sir Arya wants a whimper, huh?", asked Suci
"Oh? Yes", Arya replied initially hesitating, but it seems like Saints will not divulge it.
"Why don't you just call your male coworkers to accompany you until you get a taxi" Arya suggested.
"It takes time, sir. Uh but it's Bryan" Suci said as she watched Bryan walk out the lobby door.
"Oh?", Arya was startled and slowly put her cigarette back in the bag.
