Karan picked up Raya at exactly five in the afternoon. Before sunset, the German luxury car was already in the basement parking lot of the apartment building. Karan couldn't wait in front, there were a lot of reporters there. Yesterday's events have made it difficult and Raya, the man does not want to add to the problem by involving the media crew. Karan has another problem. A more serious problem that of course concerns the wife.
In the car, Karan leaned his head with his hands on a cellphone with the screen still on. On the screen there are pictures of Raya and also Reagan. They look so friendly. Karan knows that this is only an act, all actors on earth do the same. Moreover, the two people were not alone, there were dozens or even dozens of staff inside the apartment. So, there was no real reason that ignited the flames of Karan's anger.
Karan is upset. The photos sent by Ian's assigned spy show the other side Karan had never seen before. The side of the Kingdom is so cheerful. The smiling Kingdom without burden. Very familiar with Reagan. Again, this is just an act. Raya did it exactly as it was in the script and instructions from the director and writer. Only, his wife had never behaved like that while in front of Karan. She is more likely to strive as a submissive woman who has no will at all. It's not bad, Karan should have liked that. Unfortunately, it was this happy side of Raya that troubled Karan.
“Pak, this mint candy for you. You better freshen your mouth before Mother Kingdom comes.” Ian handed a bag of mint candy to Karan which he bought from the minimarket a while ago. The cause was because for the first time after nearly ten days, Karan smoked. The man spent the three cigarettes in his office in his study just minutes after getting photos of Raya and Reagan's proximity.
Karan was jealous, his chest pounding with anger. Almost all the glass cabinets in the work room were poranda poranda made. Luckily Ian quickly entered after hearing the sound of broken glass from the glass Karan threw. This is why Karan's room is on the main floor of the building where only his room and Ian's room and the secretary are there. Otherwise, the news that Karan is a kind and friendly man would be considered a hoax by the public because in reality, Karan is not at all like that.
Karan takes the candy wrapper and eats one of them. He also regulated his breathing so that his emotions would not overflow again. Karan is so eager for his relationship to go smoothly, so he just needs to give up a little. For example, by not showing how jealous he is for the closeness of Raya and Reagan. Although it was difficult, even though it was not the way at all. Only for the sake of Raya, for the sake of Karan's wife willing to become a person who is not herself.
Karan growled again as he ruffled his hair. “I want to lock him up, Ian. I want to break his leg so as not to run away from me. Why does she like doing this so much when I'm kind to her? Why is he even approaching another man?”
Ian really didn't know what to do. Karan's possessive level is already at a worrying, appalling as well as horrible stage. It was definitely the cause due to the past experience when Raya left Karan just like that. Leaving the man without turning back to him. Raya even bestows all the blame on Karan until the man bears everything alone and suffers until now. If only Raya had come to see him or just sent him a letter, Karan would not have been this crazy. Crazy for hate, crazy for love, and crazy for fear of losing the figure of the woman.
“It was just acting, sir. I'm sure Ibu Raya won't leave you,” ' Ian tried to calm down. After all, he had no idea why Karan always thought Raya would leave him? Other than his rude attitude, Karan is a perfect man. Handsome face, work is well established. Moreover, Karan is a man who can please women because of his proportional and seductive posture. Ian believes if he does not marry the super model, Karan can get any woman on this earth.
Karan growled again. “I know. I'm not stupid, Ian. I know my wife is just acting,” her boyfriend. Yes, he was not stupid, but he was blind. More precisely blinded by jealousy to not accept anything that is right. To him, everything that appeared before his eyes was the truth. The thing is, Raya and Reagan looked so friendly. And the affection he had never felt before with his wife.
“Pak, Mom's coming!” suddenly Ian. His breath was blowing from feeling relieved. Fortunately, the master walked over to them. Otherwise, Ian would feel very confused in the face of Karan's careless attitude.
Ian swiftly got down from the car and opened the door for Raya. “Good afternoon Ma'am,” how polite.
The originally pouting face of Raya changed instantly. He smiled and greeted back. “Sore, thank you Ian,” he said thank you for the little things that people around him do for him. Characteristics of a Drisana Kingdom are kind, caring and friendly. Of course, this is in the context of the inversely proportional Karan that seems only a mere imaging.
Get in the car. He said nothing until Karan opened his voice. “Welcome Honey,” greet the husband. The man approached, intending to kiss Raya's cheek. However, when his lips had touched the surface of the wife's cheek, Raya turned her face away from Karan. In fact, he did not look at the husband at all.
Clearly Karan was confused and angry at the rejection. There was nothing wrong with her, why did Raya refuse her kiss? And it should be noted, Raya did it twice. The woman also rejected Karan a moment ago during a dinner with her co-worker Raya. At that time, let's just say Karan was guilty of forcing Raya, but now, what's wrong?
“Why? Is there a problem on set?” ask Karan while touching Raya's hand. He seems so trying to control his emotions because it seems to regulate his respiratory system several times. So that he will not be released until he does rude things to Raya. As before, Karan wants everything to go smoothly including his relationship. That is why until now the issue of the closeness of Reagan and his wife is still not discussed. Karan doesn't want things to get complicated.
“No, I'm just tired,” sahut Kingdom is short. He looked forward, towards Ian who was already in the car and sitting in the steering wheel. “Ian, can you run the car now?”
Ian did not answer. He glanced towards Karan first to get approval. After the boss nodded his head, Ian replied, “Good Bu.” He immediately started the car engine and brought the German car across the building.
“Raya, don't let me down. Tell me if something happens to you,” Karan said, unable to contain his curiosity. “Do they do things you don't like? They're messing with you again?”
Mata Raya. “Again? What do you mean again?”
“I mean, are they gossiping about you again? As happened in the supermarket at that time.”
“No. Absolutely not,” reply Kingdom. Shortly thereafter, he also nodded. “How did you know they were gossiping about me back then?”
This time it was Karan who looked surprised and a little nervous. “Yes, I know it just like that. You know that supermarket is mine. Certainly all the information about the incident that was there reached my ears.”
It still sounds reasonable to Raya even though it's a little strange. “Nobody is gossiping about me. Even if there is, I want you not to interfere in my affairs,” respond to the Kingdom tightly.
Karan's guess. Something happened during the filming. Raya looks so angry. The wife has never been this angry in the last ten days. “So, why are you putting on a sullen face like this, honey?” Karan touched Raya's chin which was again pushed aside by the woman. Karan growled furiously. He could no longer bear this strange behavior. “Raya!”
“What?” balas Raya is not ketus.
“See me!” Karan finally did just that, pulling Raya's chin violently to turn his head towards her. “What happened to you? If you don't answer again I'll ..” Karan gasped, his tongue twisted as the word almost blurted out on his lips. He will hit Raya. That was what he was about to say and it was fortunate that he did not let go of the sentence. “... I will be mad at you,” added Karan quickly fix his sentence.
Instead of answering, Raya actually gave a question that struck the husband. “Karan, are you smoking again?”
Karan's eyes almost popped out so surprised by the man. “Ya?”
“I asked you, are you smoking today? Where do you smoke? Inhere? Or in your office?” Raya brushed off Karan's hand and looked around the man's car. He found neither his cigarette nor his ashes there. It means Karan doesn't smoke in the car. “Ah, apparently you smoke in your office,” chirps while nodding his head.
Ian who accidentally heard the conversation Karan and Raya felt depressed. The atmosphere in the room was like it had just been drained. The tension was so obvious, it made Ian feel nervous for no reason. He was not wrong in this incident. It was not he who forced Karan to smoke. He did not buy cigarettes for his employer. The man got it from the janitor on his own personal orders.
“Yes, I smoke. What's wrong with it?” said Karan who can no longer dodge or tell lies.
“You're right. That's not wrong. You're not wrong at all. I was just wondering where the promise you made to me the other day? Promise me you'll quit smoking.”
“This has nothing to do with promises! I smoke or not, none of your business.”
Once again Raya nodded. “True, it's none of my business. Perhaps from now on we should put a clear line between what is our common business and what is our personal business. That way I won't cross my line and you can't cross your line either" explained the woman who suddenly talked about the boundary between the two of them, which had never been triggered before.
