“Alright, do what you want, Honey,” said Karan approved Raya's request. There is nothing wrong with letting Raya return to the world of modeling. Karan has a way of making Raya come back to him. Even if Raya did not want to, Karan would still force the woman back. There is much Karan can do to make Raya uncomfortable at her workplace. That way Raya will regret returning to the entertainment industry and will remain at home as the wife of a Karan Reviano. If so, it is Karan who ultimately wins the freedom of his wife.

With a smile appearing on her lips, Raya said to her husband, “Thank you Karan. Okay, I'll change now,” he said. Raya hurriedly left the place and took the clothes that Ian had brought. She thanked her husband's assistant for always bothering her. Ian's job is really hard. It's not easy adjusting to a boss like Karan. Moreover, Karan has a great desire that is often unpredictable. In addition, Ian is also often involved in Karan's personal affairs, including what he does today. Had Karan not given him such a huge salary, Ian would have resigned a long time ago.

“How?” fun when you return to the basketball court. He wears very comfortable sports clothes. Not only clothes, it turns out Karan also prepares shoes for his wife. The man always had a very good preparation especially if it was about the matter of Kingdom.

Karan, who was teaching a little girl to throw a ball into the ring, looked at the source of the sound. The man could not hide his shock over the scene he was witnessing at the moment. Who wear sports clothes. Seen from any side the Kingdom looked perfectly suited to such clothes. In fact, the super model looks much younger than her actual age. Like a teenage girl who wants to learn how to play basketball. Beautiful yet elegant. Sometimes Raya also looks adorable when she looks confused to tie her shoelaces.

“Let me do it, darling.” Karan did not waste the opportunity to pamper Raya. The man treated the woman like a queen until she was seen as very respectful by the children of the orphanage, did not hesitate to squat under the feet of Raya to tie the woman's shoes. On his face did not seem to be upset or objected at all. Karan seems to really enjoy the process in pampering the wife even in public places. “Already. You're really pretty, honey. You know it's ‘kan?” praise Karan after confirming the shoelaces of the wife.

Again, Raya smiled happily. “Yes, I'm beautiful and you're handsome. We're the perfect couple,” the cetus.

Karan nodded his head, feeling in agreement with what Raya said. Then, he rubbed the head of the Kingdom gently and affectionately. The orphanage residents who saw the interaction of the two could only cry out in their hearts while hoping that they could feel the romance Karan showed to Raya. “One stop. Come on, we have to play now before the day gets hotter.”

I don't know how to play basketball. In theory, he knows everything. She is a good student in her class, not just in one lesson, but in almost every lesson. But in his memory, he was never right to play basketball. During the graduation practice exam only Raya gets help from her gym teacher. So broadly speaking, Raya is very bad at this.

However, no matter what kind of demonic possession, suddenly Raya knows how to play basketball. In fact, he could insert several times the ball into the basketball hoop. If it happens once or twice, it might be called coincidence or luck. The problem is that he scored a few times. Maybe almost every time he holds the ball he can insert the ball into the ring opponent—tim her husband. It's freaky. Really weird. How could he possibly play basketball?

“Honey, beware!” karan shouted as Raya suddenly stood in the middle of the field. At that time a child threw the ball towards Raya, intending to give the woman a pass for her to score again. Unfortunately instead of taking the ball as usual, Raya stopped her pace and stood frozen in the middle of the field. Luckily Karan saw it. Quickly the man protected Raya by brushing the ball away. “What are you doing, Raya? Why did you suddenly stop here? You don't know how dangerous it is to have your head hit by a ball?” exchange Karan emotions. He could not play in such a panic. Anything concerning the state of Raya always made Karan uneasy.

Raya could hear Karan well, including his spicy comments that contained his concerns. She could also feel her husband's hand clutching her tightly. But Raya could not answer. Let alone answering, he could not even move his body at all. Raya could only blink, then long ago she heard something from behind her. The woman heard the conversation of two people.

“Hey, that's not how it plays. You know it's wrong ‘kan?” someone said. From his voice Raya was sure he was a man. Maybe he is still a teenager because his voice does not sound heavy like an adult man. Who is that young man? Is he one of the residents of this orphanage?

“How so? You said you couldn't play basketball. But what is this? Why are you so expert? Ah, I know. You must want to mock me ‘kan? You just want to make me look pathetic,” a limp again. This time it sounded like a teenage girl. Unlike the voice of the young man, the voice of this girl sounded familiar in the ears of Raya. The woman seemed to have heard it somewhere, but she could not remember exactly where it was.

“Sorry, sorry. I didn't intend to be like that. I can't possibly mock you. How could I mock my own girlfriend, hm? Ii'm sorry. I just want to teach you how to play basketball. That way those kids won't bother you anymore. I didn't know you were this bad.”

“What?!” The girl's voice sounded up high, it seemed like she was furious at being insulted like that. “True ‘kan? You are mocking me!”

Instead of feeling guilty, the young man laughed. He sounded happy to make his girlfriend upset. “Yeah, don't you think. All right, I'm guilty. Ii'm sorry. This is not gonna happen again. Now we play again, right? I've spent a lot of money renting this field. If we practice now, it's worth the money I've spent. You're not sad to see your girlfriend who has to work all night for you?”

The girl was also full. “Iya yes. Yes, let's practice again. We shouldn't waste money. But, I'm not sure I can play basketball.”

“Hey, what are you talking about? You can pass maths because of me, this game time alone you can't?”

“Wait a minute!” shouted the young man. “Hey, wait for me! Don't run around, there are many stones!”

“No want! Let me fall, aren't you glad to see me hurt?”

“No, I don't want you to get hurt. So, please stop running!”

“No, I don't want to see you. I hate you—"

“Raya!”

Raya jerks. She was surprised not to play when she found her husband's face on top of her, looking at her with reddened eyes. What the hell's going on? Why is Karan so worried? And where is Raya now? Both of the eyes of the woman moved. He no longer saw the blue sky from the top of the basketball court. All he saw was the white ceiling. What the hell is going on?

“Karan.” Finally Raya could make a sound after for a while her lips felt like they were locked.

“Iya Darling. It's me,” Karan said as he held Raya's hand and stroked her. Raya's view was full of question marks, and Karan took the initiative to answer them. “You fainted on the field. Now you're at the puskesmas. How are you doing now? Does anyone hurt?”

Raya shook her head slowly. “No, I'm fine.” At first it was so until he remembered about the conversation of lovers he remembered just now. When Raya tried to remember what the girl had said. Raya was sure the girl was about to say such an important thing. But why did Raya suddenly hear their words? And where are they now?

“Why Dear? Does your head hurt?” asked Karan who looked anxious because his wife suddenly held his head.

“Karan, did you see the kids fighting on the basketball court?” I was sure he wasn't hallucinating at the time. He was sure to hear the conversation of the two teenagers. The proof is that he feels familiar with the girl's voice even though he still does not remember where he had heard the girl's voice.

Karan was confused. “Ha? No child quarrels, Honey,” he says don't understand.

“You sure? But I heard boys and girls fighting. They're teenagers, maybe still high school. And they're dating too. They quarreled because the boy always mocked his girlfriend while he was teaching the girl to play basketball.”

Karan's eyes opened wide. He was shocked to hear the wife's statement. Karan knows very well the scenes mentioned by the woman, like their memories from 12 years ago. Memories that Karan could not forget from his life as it contained such beautiful things.

Why did Raya suddenly discuss it now? Did the woman realize who she was? Is that what made Raya suddenly faint? Karan doesn't know what to react to now. He clearly felt sorry for himself. On one hand he was happy that his wife could remember their memories, but on the other hand Karan was scared. He was afraid that he could no longer control his anger and hatred towards the Kingdom that until now could not escape from him.
