Enough In The Heart
I'm sorry, honey, I had to lie.

"Tante... What about that bitch in the mansion?" Valencia asked after he sipped his favorite avocado juice.

"hmmm. Even bigger the head because she's been treated like a queen in that mansion." Sahut Sania growled. His eyes were emitting an enormous hatred towards Icha.

Valencia smiled cynically at the words of mama Sania. In his heart he laughed happily because without dirtying his hands, he could take revenge on the woman who had taken his fiancee through Sania, Marco's mother.

Goody. You stupid old lady. Valencia in the heart.

"It looks like the aunt has to act faster and a little more ruthless so that the bitch quickly leaves the mansion." The words of Valencia heat up Sania. "No, aunty will continue to be not considered in the aunt's own house."

Sania sipped a rough drink in a glass. Valencia's words really disturbed his mind and heart. It is true Valencia said, according to Sania. Thirteen years into the house's son-in-law, he is considered non-existent by his in-laws.

Mr. LG like to keep a distance with the wife of his eldest son. Moreover, Adam 'thrown' to America with the reason of taking care of the family company there.

"Yes, you're right. Aunty had to be a little more ruthless for him to quickly leave and feel traumatized to return to the mansion." Angry muttering. "You know, Val. Thirty years more aunt became son-in-law of Guatalla, the old man never wanted to give aunty the family's hereditary jewelry. Rare jewels of zafir stones and expensive diamonds." Seloroh Sania recalled the time when grandfather gave the jewelry to Icha a few days after they got married. "Even he gave the expensive jewelry to the unlucky woman who had just become his former granddaughter a day."

"Huh? You mean auntie, the jewelry that my grandfather's wife used to wear?" So surprised, Valencia almost spilled avocado juice. Sania nodded her head confirming Valencia's question.

All rich businessmen and business associates mr. LG must have known about the jewelry used by Miss Guatalla during the mash's life. Valencia as well. He knew this family from childhood because his father was included in a rich and successful businessman. Moreover, he had been in a relationship with the heir of GT Corp for almost 6 years. He still remembers how shiny the necklace used to be Miss Guatalla. He often dreamed that he would one day have such beautiful jewelry.

"Crazy!!!! Aunty knows, from childhood I always dreamed that one day I could wear a necklace with a clear zafir sparkle." He said in disbelief. "Damn. Not a village woman who doesn't know herself like her." Valencia grunts dislikes.

"All the wives of his daddy business partner Marco already knew about the beauty and rarity of the zafir stone. They always ask mommy why she never wore a set of beautiful jewelry." Ketus Sania. "Mommy's ashamed, Val. Mommy's forced to lie for various reasons." His gaze involuntarily gripped tightly the drink glass in his hand.

"Grandfather really doesn't consider aunt as his son-in-law." Valencia keeps Sania's mood warming. "Tens of aunty years haven't been considered as well?" He asks Marco's mother to hate Icha even more.

"Aunty should have inherited the jewelry." Tanpe's mumbling cares about Valencia's question.

"Tante had to take a set of jewelry from Marissa. He's a nobody. Auntie's got to get that expensive stuff." Typal Valencia to give support to Sania.

"Surely, Val. auntie will definitely take back the aunt's right from that pestle." Ketus Sania furiously.

The two women enjoyed their lunch at an expensive restaurant while continuing to tell me about Icha, which they dubbed as benalu. Without them realizing there was a pair of eyes that had been monitoring their movements.

Yes, it was a spy who assigned Raymond to monitor the movements of Marco's mother as she exited the house. Raymond recognized the character of the middle-aged woman. The nature of revenge, envy and greed has not disappeared from his personal self. So, as long as he is still in Jakarta, he will always be in the supervision of Raymond. Except, inside the mansion, he did not prepare spies. Raymond believed Marco could keep his wife from his mother. There is mr. LG, surely Sania wouldn't dare to mess around.

Raymond who was busy turning back the file in his hand stopped for a moment when he heard the sound of the phone ringing. He immediately pressed the green baseball on the phone to receive the call.

"Yes..." Short answer phone calls. "Yes.. keep monitoring. Don't lose track." I don't know what the other person said from across the phone but Raymond asked her to keep an eye on Sania. Raymond is afraid and suspects he will meet a thug and hire him to harm Marco and Icha.

Before long, he got up from his chair and walked outside the room. He's headed to Icha's desk. From a distance he could see his boss' wife was busy checking files on the computer.

"Hi, cha..." Sapa Raymond's. If only two with Icha, he greets only by name. However, it is different if he is with Icha and Marco. He still greeted Icha with 'miss'.

"Yes, Ray..." Icha raised her head to look at Raymond. However, there was something that made Raymond stare intensely at Icha's face. It felt like there was something different on that face. But he tried to act ordinary.

"This is. deliver it to the husband's master, yes." Raymond thrusts a pile of files in front of Icha. The gentle woman frowned.

"Kok me? Take yourself to your beloved master." Reply Icha sticking out Raymond's seductive tongue.

"Goddessa...." Raymond hit his own eel. "I've been kind enough to give you time to meet your husband and spend time together." Chirp Raymond.

"Idiiiih... The assistant sir forgot that my husband and I met every day for 24 hours?" Icha continued her work without caring about the file in front of her. "Go, sana! Just bothering." That soft voice sounded not like expelling. Raymond laughed mockingly.

"Your voice is ngusir mosquito also seems not to work." Ledek Raymond and immediately brought the file to Marco's room.

"Hiiiish!" Bumpat Icha annoyed to hear Raymond's taunts.

Tok.tok...

"Lake in!"

Raymond immediately opened the door and entered to meet Marco.

"Siang, sir. It's a project file island x. Already done. You just have to sign and start the execution process." It is clear about the development project on island x.

"emmm.. sir, there's something I want to say." Marco's mumbling is serious.

"Yes... What's wrong?" Seeing the look on Raymond's face between serious and there was a little worry, Marco became curious. "Something happened to this project?"

"Oh.no, no, sir. It's not about the project. Everything is safe. But... " Raymond paused his words.

"But what?" Ask Marco quickly. He looked at Raymond in the hope that what he heard later was not something that harmed the company.

"It's about Miss Marissa." Raymond was slow. Marco frowned.

"What's wrong with Marissa?" He immediately felt worried and his voice turned flat.

"I hope you can keep him in the mansion, sir... Because, madam Sania could have done something to endanger Miss." Reveal Raymond slowly and carefully. He fears Marco will misunderstand because Raymond suspects his birth mother.

Marco was deepening in frowning. He knew and realized that if all this time mommy's attitude to Icha was never good, it was always bad in his eyes. But, will mommy be able to do something evil to harm Icha? Marco doesn't believe Mommy can do that.

"You mean?" Marco asked in wonder. "Did you see anything that could harm Marissa?" He began to worry about his wife's safety.

"I'm sorry, sir. if I'm presumptuous." His body apologized. "Let's take a look at the left corner of Miss Marissa's lips. Looks like it's hurt and a little swollen." Raymond's words made Marco flinch in shock. He could at least pay attention to small things like this. Different from Raymond. He will be very observant to see even the very small things.

"I'm sorry, sir, instead of me accusing the madam. But, you know for yourself how the mistress behaves to the master's wife. Likewise, otherwise. Miss will very much cover up something that happened to her." Raymond just reminded Marco about the differences in nature and attitude between mommy and his wife.

Marco nodded in understanding. A sense of worry was seen on that handsome face.

"I'll take a look." Marco's Promise. "Thank you, you reminded me." Marco is sincere. "It's time to be a wife. You can rest and get Marissa here."

Raymond immediately came out after saluting Marco, leaving the handsome man with a million questions on his mind until he was unaware of Icha's presence there.

"Darling..." Tegur Icha slow. "Kok daydreaming?" Ask while putting their lunch. He began to arrange food and plates for their lunch.

Marco got up from his chair, took off his suit, loosened his tie and rolled up his sleeves to his elbows. Then, he went to the dining table on the balcony of his room. He hugged Icha from behind so Icha stopped his movements. He kissed Icha's neck as is his habit all along.

"I hope you don't cover everything from me." Brisper Marco into Icha's ear. "Don't keep all the problems in yourself, baby. Share with me." Marco is full of meaning.

Icha speechless. He felt overwhelmed by Marco's words. His intentions are good, to avoid a fight between mother and child. In fact, Icha is eager for Marco and mommy's relationship to improve and run normally like a mother and child. Hence, he had no intention of reporting Sania's overdue behavior. Because, if Marco finds out what his mother has done, he believes Marco will be even more angry at Sania, maybe even Marco will send him back to America as soon as possible. Their relationship will be further away.

Marco turned Icha's body. He stroked the smooth cheeks of Icha while observing every corner of that sweet face. His eyes stopped at the corner of Icha's swollen left lip. He looked into Icha's eyes asking for an answer.

Icha is calm and looks ordinary in front of Marco. She kept on throwing a sweet smile to trick her husband. Fortunately, he also wears a good foundation so that the former slap is not clearly visible.

"Why is this swollen?" Ask Marco slowly. His eyes began to show anger.

"hmmm.. this was. I accidentally..hmmm my foot stumbled and.. I almost fell.I....me...,"

"You wanna be honest with me?" Marco asked gently because he knew Icha was lying about the swelling in the corner of his lips.

"Seriously, baby, this morning I tripped on the stairs in a hurry to go upstairs. I'm gonna get you up to the office. But, don't know how my feet stumbled and sucked at the end of the ladder." Obviously Icha convinced Marco. "Seriously, baby, I'm not lying." His whine at seeing Marco's gaze intimidated him.

"Why not tell me?" Ask Marco again. Icha. His face was as sad as possible.

"I'm afraid you're angry." Slowly follow. "But, I've taken medicine. I was helped by Aunt Hartini." Clearly eased Marco's anger.

Marco nodded and took a deep breath. I don't know what's on his mind.

Cup.

He gently kissed the corners of Icha's injured lips and stroked them gently.

"Never lie to me, baby. Especially for your safety." Marco's message was firm.

"Yes, I'm not going to lie." Icha said with a sweet smile. "Come, eat. I'm hungry." Say a little spoiled Icha. She tries to distract Marco so that her husband does not suspect her anymore

I'm sorry, honey, I had to lie.
