HIDDEN WIFE

HIDDEN WIFE
Husband Taker Person


In office ...


Dirga rests his back on the chair. He had just finished an important meeting with some of his staff.


Pretty exhausting day. However, all that fatigue paid off with a smile when he looked at the wood-framed photo perched beautifully on his desk.


Baby Zav, the tiny baby who made his gray life is now in color. A few hours not meeting Baby Zav alone has made him miss and want to go home soon.


"Sir, in one hour there is a meeting with Mr. Hito who represents Anva Group," said Jeff who suddenly entered the boss' room.


Dirga took a long breath. It feels very lazy if you have to deal with this one creature. "He again. Indeed Anva Group has no representative besides him?"


"It looks like .." replied Jeff. "Pak Hito is currently in promotion for the position of chief director replacing Pak Samudra, his father Pak Vino who will retire."


"Oh ..."


"Hopefully this cooperation can improve Lintang's relationship with Anva. Since the departure of Mr. Azka and Mr. Vino, the competition is still heating up" Jeff added.


Dirga also guarantees. The theme park is a major Azka and Vino project that they signed two years ago before the deaths of the two. However, Azka's murder charge against Vino has created a feud between the two big companies and cut off cooperation. Making the Mahendra family must bear heavy losses following the demands made by the Vino family.


"You alone represent. I am lazy to meet him. Anyway this afternoon I have an appointment with ..." Dirga's words hang.


"Who's with you, sir?" ask Jeff curiously.


"With my wife." Dirga's eyes glared, Jeff as if demanding an answer.


"Mom Alika?"


"They, Jeff! Where have I ever had lunch with Alika."


Jeff just rounded his lips to form the letter 'O' without sound, then put the map on the table. "There's still time. Let's get a meeting, sir."


Dirga was just clucking while leaning in frustration.


.............


The hot air crept when the two gazes met. The scent of hostility was still firmly lingering in each other's hearts wrapped and covered by a mask named cooperation.


Dirga threw away a glance when she saw Hito walking towards her with a smile of falsehood.


"How are you Mr. Dirga, long time no see." Hito extended his hand. The pleasantries that made Dirga feel very lazy. He did not even want to welcome the helping hand, so Jeff finally chose to be a mediator.


"Well Mr. Hito, thank you," Jeff said, welcoming a helping hand of men in front of him.


"It is very nice today that I represent Mr. Samudra to discuss the continuation of our cooperation which was delayed for two years since Mr. Vino's death." Hito suppressed the word 'death' which made the room instantly silent.


Jeff nodded, while Dirga responded with a cold look. His hands were clenched and he immediately hid them behind his back. If only he had not been in the meeting room and not many of the staff were looking, Dirga would have already gifted a fist in the man's face.

On the other hand, Lula was in a famous salon to do body care. He spent nearly three hours there. A woman who was behind the chair was combing her long hair.


"It's over, Ma'am." The female salon employee untangled Lula's hair and made sure everything was perfect.


"Thank you, Ma'am." Lula looked at the large mirror before her.


"So you're doing some self-care?"


The unfriendly voice that greeted him made Lula instantly stare into the mirror. It looked as if Alika was standing there with a hateful gaze as usual. This afternoon, he also made an appointment with his friends to do body care at his subscription salon.


"Who is he, Al?" asked a beautiful and classy woman who was standing next to Alika.


Alika looked at her friends one by one. "He's my former employee."


"Your former employee? Seriously Al?" ask one of them who seems to be in disbelief.


"Yes. But finally playing back and seducing my husband. The snatch of the husband of a person whose degree is no different from that of a comfort woman!"


Alika's insinuation does not necessarily make Lula reply. The young lady remained silent while playing the phone in her hand. While the three women who were with Alika looked quite surprised to hear Alika's words.


"Geez, actor anyway. Don't know yourself once" another woman continued.


"You must take good care of your husband. Do not be seduced by women like him," added Alika with a glint of very haughty eyes. This was a golden opportunity for him to humiliate Lula in the presence of everyone and he would make the most of it.


"Yes yes, today's not seeing people's husbands or not. Just stay seduced." One of Alika's friends shuddered at Lula.


"He never thought he was a girl. Try to think, what wife's heart accepts that her husband is seduced by another woman?" Alika smiled with satisfaction, when the attention of all visitors to the salon was only on Lula. And now they're staring at Lula like a virus to be eradicated.


Instead of feeling embarrassed, Lula smiled faintly, then stood up from her seat and walked gracefully closer to Alika.


"What kind of wife do you mean? A wife who lies and deceives her own husband? Or a wife who cheats and conspires with other men to take her husband's property?"


Instantly, Alika's entire body trembled at Lula's words. Even his eyes couldn't blink.


"What do you mean?" alika asked with glaring eyes.


Makes Lula laugh.


"And what about the murder of Vino that finally made your girlfriend sabotage to take the life of Azka Mahendra? You'd forgotten? Do I need to remind you of the chronology?"
