HOW CAN I NOT LOVE YOU
Chapter 22 - Gotong Royong

In a hurry, Anindita pulled Ricky's hand so that her husband could stay away from the man who had been fighting with her husband. Besides Anindita did not want her husband to get into a ruckus, she also felt familiar with the man who had been disrespectful towards her.

Although vague, but Anindita can remember if the man who disturbed her was very similar to Johan, Koh Leo's cousin's sister, when she was still living together at the house of Kok Leo and Sandra in the city of Malang.

" Mad, we better move out of this place. Let's find another hotel! I don't want to deal with that guy." Anindita shows her anxiety to Ricky.

" You take it easy, Anin. I'm sure that person wouldn't dare to do anything to us. You don't have to worry like this." Ricky patted Anindita's shoulder trying to calm her down.

" But that guy wasn't a nice guy, Mas."

" A man who dares to be disrespectful towards women, is certainly not a good person." Ricky still did not take Anindita's anxiety seriously.

" It's not just that, Mom. That guy was a bad guy. The man is the younger cousin of Koh Leo, who once wanted to marry me. He's the one who made Koh Leo and Ci Sandra have to lose her house and her minimarket, Mas." Anindita explains to Ricky, who the man who was involved with Ricky was.

" He's Mr Leo's cousin?" Ricky gasped at his wife's explanation about the man who had dared to disturb Anindita. Even now his face looks serious with a hardened jaw.

" Yes, Mas. And it seems like he almost recognized me. Mom, I'm afraid that she recognizes me. He's a universe and a very rude man, Mas." Anindita gripped Ricky's arm tightly, because Anindita herself felt traumatized by Johan's treatment of her first.

" You calm down, Anin. As long as I'm around, I won't let him near you." Ricky rubbed Anindita's back. " We'd better take a shower, your clothes are wet like this, you'll be sick" Ricky continued.

Remembering her wet clothes, because she had been forced into the pool, to get rid of the women bullies her husband, Anindita became upset. Of course Ricky's attitude that invites women to join forces that make Anindita's heart inflamed.

" Why don't you keep accompanying the women in the pool?!" Anindita folded her hands on her chest. It seemed like the jealousy that Anindita did not realize appeared in her heart had not disappeared.

Ricky pulled the corner of his lips at the jealousy his wife was showing. " Don't admit that you're jealous, Anin?" ledek Ricky teases his wife.

" Who is jealous? I'm not jealous!" Realizing that his attitude did indeed show a jealous person, Anindita immediately brushed aside. She even stepped away from her husband, rather than him being hit by her husband's soft target who kept on taunting him.

Looking at Anindita who stepped towards the bathroom, with wide strides Ricky followed the wife. In fact, he immediately managed to capture Anindita's body and make his wife's body float in the air.

" Mum, let go!" Anindita gasps as Ricky suddenly lifts her body.

" You're gonna take a shower, right? Let me accompany you to the bath." Ricky grinned indifferently to Anindita who was rebellious to refuse her sling.

" Let me take a shower, Mom! Don't be friends!" Anindita knows what it means to accompany the bath uttered by Ricky until he rejects the husband's 'good offer.

" We live that we have to help each other. Gotong royong, so that the work we do can be done quickly." Ricky jokingly said bathing together is one of the actions of gotong royong.

" Don't hang on, man! Let go of me, Mas!" Anindita still refused because she knew what her husband meant by asking her into the bathroom together. However, of course Ricky did not press Anindita's rejection, so Anindita could only resign to what her husband wanted.

" How, Lan? Mr Ricky wants to take us in?" Ria who was standing outside the gate was curious, making him ask when Lanny came back to him.

" A moment is being asked first, Ma'am." said Lanny.

" Anin was lucky. Apart from Mas Arya, it can be a young executive," said Ria commenting on Anindita's life that has changed drastically now.

" Right, Ma'am. Hockey him." Lanny chimed.

" Mother ...!" Security calls Lanny to come closer after she finishes a conversation on the phone.

" Any right, sir." Lanny is back to security. " How, Sir? Can we meet Mr Ricky Pratama?" tanyanya.

" I'm so sorry, Mom. I got from the info from the above employee, said Mr. Ricky is on leave this week, Mom." Security explained to Lanny.

" Leave? Then Mr Ricky when will he be back at work, sir?"

" Maybe early next week, ma'am. Come here again next week. If you can make an appointment first, let's not be difficult if you meet Mr. Ricky." Security was giving advice to Lanny if you want to be accepted to meet one of the officials of the company Angkasa Raya.
