I'm Not Dead, My Husband
New Manager

"Why don't you want to go back? Is it because of my past, Inara?"

"You already know the answer, Mommy. Tell me the real reason? You want to go back to Indonesia because you want to meet that woman, right?"

"So your words Inara, I never had such thoughts. Papa really told me to go home to take care of his work because suddenly papa's health has been declining lately."

"You're too many excuses, ma'am."

"Is my past so disturbing your life? Didn't he ever disturb our household? You know for yourself that she already has a lover and they love each other."

"Yes, he doesn't love you anymore but not with you, you still love him, right?"

"Inara, why do you always live with your fears?"

"You made me like this."

"I? What have I ever done to always make you that way? Have I ever cheated on you behind your back? Did I ever hurt you?"

"Without you knowing you're always hurting me, ma'am."

"What did I ever do to you until you were hurt by me?"

"Because you can never love me! Do you think it doesn't hurt to live with a husband who never loved me?"

"It's all a process, Inara. We got married because we were betrothed and I haven't known you for a long time. I need some time."

"Until when? How long will I wait for you to love me? Is it because of that woman's cheerful and playful nature and so different from my boring one that you can never love me?"

"Not that! But as long as I live with you you never make me feel comfortable being around you, you can only suspect me with all your bad thoughts!"

"You should have realized all this because of you!"

"That's Inara, that's enough! I don't want to argue with you anymore! I'm going to the office now!"

"To office? To submit your resignation? So you can return to Indonesia as soon as possible? Then meet that woman?"

"YINARAAAAA!!" Rayhan snapped and walked away, leaving Inara staring at Rayhan's departure with a sharp look.

'Just tell me the truth if you want to go back to that woman, right?' Inara Gumam. Suddenly, Inara's phone rang.

"Mama" said Inara. He then raised the call.

[Hello ma.]

[Hello Inara.]

[Yes ma, what's wrong?]

[Inara, has Rayhan told you that papa asked you to return to Indonesia? Papa's health has recently been severely declining, whereas he's been handling some heavy work. Papa will never be able to do all this on his own, he needs Rayhan's help, Inara.]

[Oh yes ma.]

[So you agree, you're back in Indonesia.]

[Eyeh.. E... Yes ma, of course Inara agrees.]

[Good, thank you very much Inara.]

[Yes ma.] Inara answered and then closed the call. Then he covered his face.

"So we should really go back?"

Abiman entered the lobby of his office building in a slight hurry. He then walked towards Vicky who was already waiting for him in the lobby.

"Vicky, what's going on? Why is there such a sudden meeting?"

"Sorry sir, I don't know either. This is all on Mr. Raka's orders."

"Breng*ek what exactly has Yanuar told papa? Has all the cheating I've done been known to them?"

As Abimana and Vicky were having a conversation, they suddenly turned to a man who had just gotten out of his car with a slight rush into the building.

"Who is Vicky? I think I've just seen it?"

"Oh he looks like a newly transferred employee from the branch office."

"Vicky, I think I have a bad feeling about that guy."

"Maybe it's just your thinking sir, as far as I know he's just a regular employee who was transferred to replace Aidan."

"Hopefully my premonition is wrong" Abimana said as she walked into the elevator.

While the Word entered the meeting room with a little haste. "Vallen's ways don't want to ride my motorcycle so it's a little late, riding in a car at a rush hour like this is very ineffective." said Firman as he stepped into the meeting room. Seen inside the room, Yanuar had already greeted him with a smile.

"Sorry I came a little late Mr. Yanuar, I delivered my wife first."

"Oh it's okay Word, the meeting hasn't started yet because we're still waiting for Abimana" replied Yanuar. Not long after, Abimana also entered the room.

"Vicky, look at that guy. Why is he standing next to Yanuar?"

"Of course."

"Don't let my hunch be right." grumbled Abimana.

"Oh Mr Abi, have you come?" yanuar said with a smile. Abhimana also approached Yanuar.

"What is this Mr. Yanuar? Yesterday afternoon we met but you didn't say anything to me."

"Yes Mr. Abi, because this is a sudden decision from Mr. Raka after I met him."

"Sudden decision from papa?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"About what?"

"About the new Marketing Manager in our office. You know the marketing manager in our office has long been empty, and for a while still held by you that makes you so busy holding a double position. Now there is a new manager, so you do not need to take care of the marketing and tender again Mr. Abimana, because now there is a new marketing manager that is Firman." said Yanuar while introducing the Word standing beside him.

'BREN*BEK!!! Do they all know what I've been doing all this time? Breng!! If this is how I can get extra money because papa has blocked my account.' murmured Abimana while looking at the Word with a sharp gaze.

Word then stretched out his hand, then the hand was returned Abimana with a smile. "It's good to know you, Word."

"Yes Mr. Abimana, I am also pleased to meet the owner of this company."

"Well, work as best you can."

"Yes, sir."

"Mr Abimana, what if we just start the meeting?"

"Please Mr. Yanuar." replied Abimana then stepped his feet towards his chair.

'Fuck!! So papa did all this? Does my dad know everything I've done? Didn't Vicky say that Firman was just an employee at the branch? Why was he transferred to this office? Is this all part of your plan? Or maybe he's the one who was ordered by papa to turn off my movements?' murmured Abiman while looking at Firman who was presenting his new policy. The feeling of Abhimana was increasingly raging hearing the presentation described by the Word, he then raised his hand.

"Excuse me the Word."

"Yes, Mr. Abimana, what's wrong?"

"It seems I disagree less with the policy you're going to take, can we not change the system, so it's like it used to be?"

"Oh can not Mr. Abimana because the policy I took was already getting approval from Mr. Raka."

"But papa is not here the Word, you must obey all my commands."

"Sorry Mr. Abimana, I don't work for you but Mr. Raka, so you can't change my decision, thank you."

Hearing the words of the Word, Abhimana also stared intently at him.

'SCAT!!!' abhimana murmured in the heart.
