Lies
Envy

Not without reason Karan brought Sekar to the family's event today. Karan has a good reason. One is about business. Yes, Sekar now is not just an artist who wara-wiri fill television soap operas or even become a big screen star. In addition to being a famous advertising star to become a world-class brand ambassador of products, Sekar is now hired by Karan as the director of their company's production house. Sekar's prowess plus his experience in the entertainment industry was more than enough for that. To this day, with permission from his father, Karan brings Sekar into the family event.

Karan also has another reason, which is the center of attention. Karan had expected a large family on both sides, both from the mother and her father's side would swarm like a collection of ants circling the honey. Karan is rarely involved in family events. Although as an only child who would inherit almost all of his family's wealth, Karan was always looking for ways to evade. Besides being troublesome they will also ask many questions that make Karan dizzy. And the presence of Sekar will attract the attention of the family. His artistic status attracted more attention than Karan's.

All that Karan had thought through. He picked up Sekar before going to the main house. “Don't sit here. You just sit in front with Ian,” Karan said prohibiting when Sekar wants to open the rear car door. Of course Sekar is not allowed to sit in a chair that has always been occupied by Raya. After marriage, no one can sit there, except the wife. And Karan so firmly upholds his principles.

Despite grumbling, Sekar still moved to the front, precisely the chair beside Ian. No one opened the door for him when he was a big star. Previously, she had always treated others like a queen. No one has ever treated her badly not even appreciating her actions. Had Karan not been a businessman who had to work with him, Sekar would have revealed Karan's true personality to the public.

I don't like the quiet atmosphere. He asked Ian who was driving. “How do I look, Ian? Am I beautiful?” Sekar uses an Italian designer's extended dres. Of course the clothes will be good. It was just that Sekar wanted to confirm it directly through Ian. Actually Sekar wanted to ask Karan. But the married man will not answer his question. He would say out loud that Raya Drisana was the prettiest woman in his eyes.

Ian caught a glimpse of Sekar's look, the man nodded. “Yes, you look very pretty, Mom,” she said politely, then returned to driving. To Ian, Sekar does look pretty. If she is not beautiful, how can she be an artist? In Indonesia talent is influential, but the most significant effect is the appearance of the face. It does not matter if an artist is not too talented as long as he has a beautiful face. But things are different if the artist is talented but apparently unsightly. The artist will be the months of ridicule of internet citizens.

Sekar wasn't quite satisfied with Ian's answer, but it was much better than Karan not reacting at all. Let alone to praise him, not even glancing at him. Karan focuses heavily on his phone while talking to Ian several times. He did not care if Sekar was in his car or not. Although feeling annoyed at being ignored, but Sekar still likes Karan. A husband who only cares for his wife and rejects the presence of other women. Who wouldn't want her husband to act like that?

“Remember, you have to convince Papa to join. Even though you have my approval, I am only the vice president of Papa's company. As long as Papa is alive, all final decisions are in Papa.”'s hands Karan reminded again of Sekar the purpose of the woman's arrival to the main house. This project is very important for Karan. For marriage.

If Karan can replace the director of their production house with Sekar, then Karan has more authority to control the internal parts that he cannot do because the confidant of the father still occupies the position. If Karan had taken over, he would have made his wife work there. Of course as an artist. So, this is a very profitable long-term solution for all of them. Raya will be able to keep working, while Karan will be able to monitor Raya's activities easily.

He let out a long breath. “Ya, yes. You just calm down. I'll keep your father fascinated by me until he regrets not choosing me as a son-in-law.”

The remark was responded by Karan coldly. “Even if Papa agrees, none of his children will marry you.”

“Sial!” sekar is upset. Karan's words have an implied meaning that is so striking, meaning Karan will not marry her even though the man's father has approved of their marriage. Sekar had no idea Karan's rejection would be so cruel to him.

*****

Bringing Sekar into the family event is actually the right choice for Karan. His father agreed with the proposal to replace the director of the old production house with Sekar, even agreeing to some programs that Sekar had offered. It means Karan has got the green light to smooth out his plan. Now all he does is persuade Raya to join his company. There is no harm in a husband and wife working in the same company. After all, Karan did not act directly. He is only the head of the center that will monitor one of the branches of his company.

“So, are you guys going home?” ask Karan's mother when the show is over. Other than the nuclear family, no one else lived in the main house. And instantly the mansion that was originally so crowded, in just half an hour instantly turned very quiet. “Not stay here?”

Karan couldn't stay, and he didn't want to. So he wanted to reject the mother's invitation. “No Ma, we have to pu—”

“Good Ma. I'll stay here,” timpal Raya suddenly cut Karan's words.

Just like Karan, the mother was surprised. He did not just offer his son and daughter-in-law a stay at the house. Even if they stayed, he would not mind. But the old woman did not expect her son-in-law would agree to her words while Karan clearly wanted to reject her. Something seems wrong with the relationship. They looked like a couple fighting.

“Honey, why are we staying here? We have our own house, honey. And don't you have to work tomorrow?” tukas Karan trying to invite Raya to go home. Not without reason Karan refused to stay at his parents' house. First, as he mentioned before, they already have a private house that is no less large and luxurious than that house. Second, staying there will not make Karan free, especially if he wants to make out with his wife. Of course Karan feels awkward and embarrassed doing intimate things at his parents' house.

“We do have a home, but we can't stay here? Can't I be here, Ma?” Raya deliberately invites the mother-in-law to talk.

A rough gust of breath sounded out from Karan's mouth. He touched his wife's hand and held it. “Why are you like this? Why do you suddenly want to stay at this house?” The man was still inexhaustible with Raya's attitude today. When I first entered the Kingdom, it seemed ordinary. His wife answered his words as usual. But all that changed when Raya changed clothes. The woman looked angry and upset over something that even Karan alone did not know what caused.

In order not to add to the dispute, Karan's mother raised her voice. “Why don't you want to stay here Karan? Your wife wants to stay here, stay one day. Tomorrow you can go back to your home again,” he said stating a solution.

Raya nodded in agreement. “Mama's right, Karan. I don't have a job tomorrow, so there's no need to rush home. After all, this is my first time staying here as a daughter-in-law. I want to show a good attitude to Mama and Papa. We're staying here, right? Just one night. Mama and Papa have already stayed at our house, when we never stay here?” The woman pleaded with her husband of course with a specific intention. Raya wants to find out more about Karan's past. And Raya thought the only place that could answer all her curiosity was that house.

In addition, Karan has made Raya hurt. It doesn't matter if Karan wants to be with another woman, especially if it's about work. But what you cannot accept is there is an injustice here. Karan can manage Raya's life, scolding her if she is close to other men, limiting her association even to the point of opposing her work. Karan also broke the security system on his phone just to find out who was close to him. But it doesn't happen the other way around. Karan avoids Raya whenever the woman wants to learn about the past. Refuse to tell what the man is doing everyday. Even now, bring foreign women on family events.

Especially when Karan did not go straight to him and chose to introduce Sekar to his parents. When viewed from the position of Raya, Sekar does not look like an ordinary coworker. The woman seemed to want to replace her position as Karan's wife. It made Raya angry and hurt. He also felt very angry ..Maybe also a little jealous.

“Alright, we stay here.” Karan finally succumbs to the wishes of his wife. “But only one night because there is something I have to take care of tomorrow morning outside the city,”.

“If you are in a hurry, you can go home now, Karan. Your clothes haven't been arranged. If you leave in the morning, maybe you'll miss your flight.”

Karan growling. He strengthened his squeeze after hearing the sentence of the exorcism that Raya hurled at him. “No Darling. How can I sleep without you beside me?”

She almost laughed amusedly. Karan has been fine all along. The man went out of town more often than at home. Doesn't that signify that Karan can sleep well without her? But yeah, that's it. Raya will let Karan stay here because he believes Karan will go early in the morning to catch the first flight. The man always did it when he wanted to leave the country and Raya could not prohibit it.

“Ya already, we just stay here,” revealed Raya agreed.

After dinner together, Karan's parents chat to Raya was fairly short. Because of their age factor so often feel tired so they choose to rest first. While Raya and Karan inevitably move to the bed that is on the top floor. Not in the guest room, but in the room Karan once occupied before owning his own private house.

“Sitting time!” karan orders the wife who seems to want to run away from him.

“We will talk, but I want to take a shower first,” elak Raya.

Karan shook his head firmly. “You can shower later. Now sit down and tell me what are you doing? Why did you suddenly decide to stay here?”

“Why? Can't it? Why don't you want me here? Is there anything you're hiding from me? Is there anything that others know but I shouldn't know?”

“What?” Karan jerks. “I don't understand, what exactly are you talking about?”

“So you don't understand? Wh why? Is my language harder to digest than other women's languages?”

Karan is completely confused now. He did not understand where Raya was talking. “Other women? What are you talking about Raya? I'm just talking about our impromptu stay here. Why are you suddenly talking about another woman?” After Karan thought further, he finally found one definite cause that made his wife behave strange all day. “Wait first! Are you talking about Sekar? You jealous of her?”
