Lies
The Arrival of In-Law

“Bu, Mr. Karan is coming tonight. He's already on the plane.”

Anna tells Raya about Karan's arrival. Because since yesterday, Raya has been excited to welcome the arrival of her husband. The dress for the night is ready. The ingredients to make the cake have been asked to Anna to buy.

Raya will make a birthday cake for Karan. A cake he made with his own hands. Though he could have ordered a cake from another place that is guaranteed to taste good. However, he did not want to. The woman wanted to give a gift to her husband, unfortunately she did not know what to give. Karan has everything. Property, office and money. With all that Karan can buy his own needs.

That was why Raya thought at least she should give something to her husband. Moreover, this is Karan's birthday event which was first celebrated with him. I want to give you something special.

“Then, let's get ready, Bi. I have to prepare the cake before he comes,” exclaimed Raya to Anna.

“Good Mom. I'll call the other kids to help you.”

Kingdom respond with a smile, then reply, “Wah, thank you, Bi.”

Although a very famous star, Raya did not behave arrogantly at all. Raya easily gets along with Anna and the other household assistants. Because it was always in the house for a month, Raya knew the four assistants well. Not only their name and origin address, the woman even knew the past of them. Raya often spends time exchanging stories with the four, which makes them familiar.

Not until there, Raya also knows the gardener, security guard and driver Karan. They were the ones who helped Raya escape one week ago when Raya was already very saturated with her life with Karan. They lie to Karan by saying that Raya wants to go to the mall to shop. Karan who was outside the city allowed Raya to leave. And that opportunity the woman used to escape Karan.

But Karan is not that stupid. The spies that he hired before they got married are still attached near the Kingdom. The man still continued to follow wherever the Kingdom went as long as the Kingdom was outside the house. So that in an instant, Karan can capture Raya. Karan himself picked up his wife who was at the station and prepared to leave the city. With little threat, Raya returns home with Karan without causing any commotion at the station.

“Don't just be seen, but decorated too. We have to hurry, it's six in the afternoon. Maybe soon Karan will arrive at the airport.” Raya sees a wall clock in the kitchen and she starts to panic. The preparation is very mepet. He does not want his birthday cake made yet but Karan has reached home.

One of the household assistants replied, “Iya, I'm calm. We'll finish it. Better Mom now get ready before you come.”

That proposal sounds reasonable. Raya only thought about the cake when she was not ready at all. Never mind wearing her dress, Raya hasn't even had a shower that afternoon. So that everything is not chaotic, Raya should start cleaning up and dressing up now. It can not be less beautiful than the cake that he made.

Raya also got the thing he always wanted so far, namely popularity. Using the name Raya, Karan contributes to many social institutions and victims of natural disasters. As a result, Raya's name always appears on search engines as a royal woman who is so kind-hearted. The name Raya was hailed by the community and discussed during this month.

While in reality, Raya never knew those social institutions. It is true that Raya had worked in social and humanitarian fields for almost a year after winning the Princess Beauty contest. But Raya did not really remember the names of the institutions she had worked with. No more than three institutions are known. The rest of the Kingdom only vaguely remembered him.

Now Karan made a really good image of Raya. Raya who never appeared in public was replaced by Karan. The man is so clever to manipulate the situation by saying that Raya is focusing on their household life, especially if they have just been married. He also mentioned giving up entirely to Raya about the decision of the super model to return to the entertainment industry.

What happened was not like that. Let alone allowing Raya to return to the front of the camera, Karan alone did not let Raya out of the house a single step. Karan confines Raya in his mansion by constantly giving Raya a line of luxury objects that are very expensive every week.

“Hm, passable. This is not bad,” muttered Raya while looking at her appearance in front of the mirror. He hasn't dressed like that in a long time. Because it is always in the house, Raya forgot her expensive cosmetics are very complete at the makeup table. The beauty items were only displayed for a month without being touched by the owner.

For the final touch, Raya sprayed her favorite vanilla perfume. The perfume Karan also bought along with a set of cosmetic tools. Raya does not know where Karan got it from, but everything prepared by the man came from the famous brand that Raya always used every day. It was like Karan had been to his house and seen all the things that were in his room because Karan knew all the likes of Raya.

After looking again at his large mirror for the last time, Raya rushed downstairs. He moved into the kitchen, checking how far the cake had been decorated. And Raya was amazed. The cake really looked really nice, not looking like it was made by the person who first made the cake.

“Thank you. The cake is so good like this because of your help,” said Raya who did not hesitate to thank her servants. Then, as a finishing touch, Raya stuck two candles with the number 30.

“Bu! Lady Kingdom!” Anna ran towards the Kingdom who was arranging the dishes onto the dining table.

Raya stopped her activities and turned her head towards Anna. “Why Bi?” His eyes were wide and his heart was pounding. “Have my husband come home?” ask while hoping.

Unfortunately the housekeeper shook his head firmly. With a tense face he said, “Master and Madam are here.”

Raya jerks. He did not expect Karan's parents to come. But this did not fit his plan. Plans to melt Karan's heart. Raya sighed in frustration. Either because he felt tired from the preparations for Karan's birthday or because he heard his in-laws present. There was only one that was certain, Raya felt her heart was not fine now. He felt annoyed.
