Why yes? Maybe eror.

“If you just want to take a suitcase, why bring a gun?!” I asked annoyed. Because if this man shoots randomly and misses the target, Bayu or I can be injured.

“Really! Not me!” This man stooped in fear.

Seeing it like that I felt sorry, but just the thought crossed he had jumped up and was about to attack me but Bayu had already kicked his stomach before his hand managed to grab me a few more stops.

This man fell to his knees and this time mercilessly Bayu had already stuck the tip of his gun on the forehead of this criminal.

“Dare to touch my wife?!”

“No dare! That person—that person who said that if you want to run away if you face you, I only have to attack the woman.”

“Hah??! You think I can easily just attack!! I kick new to know taste!!”

“Don't spend your energy on him, Boo.” Bayu raised his other hand to block me even further, even with one hand but he held me back who really wanted to kick this man.

“Say, you know me? Who is that person you mean??”

“T—no one's that guy. Really!” I growled because he said no one could believe it but Bayu first kept his gun away and then he hit this man once with a gun in his hand until he fainted.

“K—why?”

“There is no use asking. Better leave it on—”

“What is going on??” Talia's startled voice cut off Bayu's speech. The woman came with Bianca and two bodyguards.

“Your gift is there.” Bayu pointed the suitcase at Talia.

He walked over to the suitcase that was meant to be curious, as soon as he found what was inside the suitcase, I saw Talia's expression turn startled and serious.

“Sky? In a place like this??”

“Also there are 3 female servants who were previously in this place. There's someone behind all this, you should check it out as well.” Answer Bayu.

“I understand, you better just go back. It should be a quiet and happy night for you guys but I didn't expect you to find this.” Talia smiled little at me and Bayu.

“Alright, I leave it to you.”

“Oh and also this, this gun is in another suitcase, I think there is a gun sale also here.” Bayu hands the gun in his hand to Talia.

“OK. I'll check it out too.”

“Sorry to trouble you.” I said it wasn't good to bother Talia in the morning blind like this.

“No no! You guys who are troubled face to face with this.” Talia stepped closer to me to pat my hand, intending to calm me down.

“What is sky?” I asked to look at Bayu who just finished talking on the phone.

We were already inside the actual villa room. The room is decorated with many rose petals scattered over the mattress, candles and soothing scent of lavender. But because of the previous situation, I no longer think of romantic nights, just since last my mind was curious about the word ‘sky’ that Talia said.

Bayu stepped closer to me to sit beside me before answering. “Sky is the name of a synthetic or man-made drug made inside a laboratory. I've heard police are trying to catch up to sky in the country because sky is a synthetic opioid production that's coming up on a scale nobody anticipated. The effect of this drug is 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. The drug has triggered an opioid crisis in the US. An average of 130 Americans die of opioid overdose every day. This object was first heard in Myanmar.”

“Myanmar is the second largest producer of opium in the world after Afghanistan. Its illicit drug trade has flourished due to its mountainous land and loose borders.” Bayu nodded at my explanation.

“I remember once discussing this with my college friends, in 2017 a Buddhist monk was arrested in Myanmar and linked to more than four million methamphetamine pills hidden in a monastery, then between 2018 and 2019, a total of 14 illegal drugs laboratories were seized in Myanmar.” I'm proceeding.

“I don't know why there is this thing here, whether it is on purpose or this villa has long been a sky transaction place.  Talia and her team will start checking, the guests invited by our parents will definitely not be happy and will cause a lot of speculation, whereas this morning I have to leave for work.” He said frown at the end of the sentence.

I smiled a little at Bayu's explanation. I understand what he means, he's worried about me. Guests unhappy with Talia's investigation of them will target me.

I pulled her hands together and held her tightly while saying. “Not to worry. I'll be fine. Remember that? Now that I am the young mistress of the Jeremy family and the hidden daughter of the Evano family, I am more than strong enough.”

Bayu chuckled at my words, he then pulled me up and took me into his arms. “Really okay? Didn't you just get upset that those people are bothering you?”

“Because you promised to buy a boxing bag, I'm not upset anymore.” My words made this man hug even tighter, his left cheek stuck to my left ear, his head leaning comfortably there. I closed my eyes, enjoying every little moment.

“Make you in trouble again, be in a position you never wanted, be in a situation you never imagined. Sit for a while, think for a moment, maybe you can accept it now but one day you will realize, God's plan is never wrong in your life. God's plan never fails in your life, God's time is always right.” Beu's soft whisper as if cradling my ears. Hypnotizing me to be more calm.

My eyes closed, getting my embrace on her. I was not willing to let her out of my arms.

“Now you better sleep. Later in the morning you will immediately leave for work.” I said remind.

“True, I'm quite sleepy.” Answer it while small yawn.

I immediately let go of our embrace and looked at him who now displayed a tired and sleepy face. His eyes were almost closed as well. Looks funny.

Without a word, I immediately stood up and led her to lie down. Just when his head touched the pillow, Bayu's eyes were closed as his mouth moved and spoke. “But I haven't changed clothes.”

“You can shower and change clothes later before leaving for work, the important thing now is to rest first, your departure time is only a few hours away.”

“Alright, I will obey my wife.” He answered in a voice that grew quieter at the end of the sentence, indicating that he was almost asleep.
