“True. You're the girl I've loved. I loved you so much at that time. But now my love is only for my wife. A halal woman for me. Halal love.”
“No. What you feel for a woman is not love. Maybe you just feel sorry for him. Different from the taste you have for me.” Natasha remained with her belief that she was the woman Kagendra loved.
Kagendra sighed harshly. He had run out of words to convince Natasha that the woman he was in love with now was Sadiyah. For a while Kagendra succumbed to Natasha's wishes.
“Good. For a while, I will accompany you until your emotions are stable and can think better about our current condition.”
Natasha smiled hearing what Kagendra said. He will use this opportunity to plant his hegemony in Kagendra's heart.
Kagendra sat on the sofa in the corner of the room. He opened his phone and checked the incoming emails.
“Darling, I'm thirsty. Please get me a drink.”
Kagendra got up from her seat and gave a glass of water and brought a straw to Natasha's lips.
“Thank you dear.”
After she finished drinking, Natasha picked up her phone which she put on the nightstand. This morning, Sarah, her assistant took her cell phone from her apartment unit.
He photographed Kagendra sitting on the sofa and sent it to Sadiyah accompanied by a text message.
Your husband is with me. I was in the hospital because something happened with my pregnancy. And your husband is here with me, accompanying me. Just try sending a message to your husband and ask him where he is. I'm sure he won't tell you the truth.
Sadiyah who just finished performing the Ashar prayer checked her phone because she heard the incoming message notification.
Sadiyah opened the message and saw a picture of Kagendra sitting on the sofa in a room that looked like a hospital room.
Read the message below it.
Instantly Sadiyah's chest again felt pain and tightness.
Stupidly, Sadiyah obeyed what Natasha asked.
Where's AA? What do?
Not long after, a reply came from Kagendra.
Aa's in the office. Checking the files.
Tears came back from his eyes. There were no more number of times Sadiyah had cried since yesterday.
************
The last photo and message sent by Natasha and the lies from Kagendra further strengthened Sadiyah to do what she had planned since yesterday.
Previously, Sadiyah still did not feel confident about her plan. But after this incident, Sadiyah's determination was unanimous to carry out all her plans.
In quick motion, Sadiyah contacted Gita and Reza to delegate the new branch office affairs to Reza. Sadiyah asked Reza to come immediately and leave all business to Reza.
Sadiyah contacted Guntur to help Reza with all the affairs of her new office. It turned out that Guntur had a stake in this new Sadiyah branch. When Guntur asked the reason for this delegation, Sadiyah did not give a definite reason. He simply told Thunder that there was another matter that he had to settle immediately.
Sadiyah asked Guntur, Reza and Gita to keep this delegation matter a secret to her husband and family. Although Guntur, Reza and Gita were astonished by what Sadiyah asked, they appreciated it and did not ask Sadiyah any further.

“Where are you going? You're not leaving me, are you?” natasha asked worried that Kagendra would leave her.
“I only went for business trip for three days. I promise to accompany you until your emotions stabilize again and can accept my decision.”
“Although I'm not sure how long my emotions will be stable. You want to accompany me?”
“I'll try.” Kagendra agreed to Natasha's request hesitantly.
Kagendra was annoyed by this condition. When Sadiyah was sick and in need of herself, she had to go abroad for her work.
Arriving at home, Kagendra immediately searched for Sadiyah's whereabouts and found Sadiyah sitting reading a book in the library room.
“Daddy. Are you healthy?”
“Aa. Just be surprised.” Sadiyah closed the book she was reading.
Kagendra approached Sadiyah and placed her back on Sadiyah's forehead to check her body temperature.
“The heat has gone down. Have you eaten medicine?”
“Already.”
“Have eaten again?”
“Not hungry.”
“Daddy...” Kagendra hesitantly says that he has to go abroad for a business trip.
“What's up, A?”
“Tonight, Aa has to go to Thailand. There's business to be done there soon. If you still feel unwell right, you should just stay at Abah's house. Aa deliver there before Aa go to airport.”
“No need, A. I feel better already. Poor Aki if I know Iyah is sick. Fear becomes even thought. Let it stay here. If anything, Iyah will contact Lena.”
“Let's call Lena to accompany you here.” bargain Kagendra.
“Do not trouble A. Poor Lena if you have to stay here. Believe me, I can do it myself. Help Aa make packing yes.”
“Not necessary. Let Aa pack. Aa left for only three days so won't bring much change of clothes. You just rest. For dinner, Aa had already booked into a regular restaurant. Aa buy your favorite food let you greedy eat it.”
Kagendra passed from the presence of Sadiyah to prepare all the needs of her business trip to Thailand.
Sadiyah got another text message from Natasha.
Actually Sadiyah did not want to open the contents of the message from Natasha, but she was curious.
Your husband said he was going abroad, right for his business trip? You know what the truth is? I told you. Your husband went with me. This trip as a way for him to please me who wants to go refreshing. Now you believe that I am the woman that Kagendra loves and you are the woman that Kagendra will throw away.
