Raya does not know what Karan said until the next morning. Apparently the man had a plan that Raya did not expect. Honeymoon. This agenda had been their conversation some time ago, maybe before the state of their household was chaotic after rumors between him and Reagan. Raya did not expect Karan to make their honeymoon agenda this soon. Moreover, Raya just got a position as a director at the company foundation. Karan looks very busy. From what the woman heard, Karan had to conduct many meetings with the shareholders. Plus this is already mid-year which is usually as a large company, they have to prepare evaluations per semester or six months.
Now, they have to go abroad. Karan took her to Milan. He said the man had business dealings with someone in Italy's economic and financial centre. Raya wanted to believe, but doubt slipped in her heart. Because in his departure this time, Ian did not participate. Karan reasoned Ian would catch up with them after the assistant finished some things at the office. Karan brings Ruben with them, the deputy director of the company's foundation. Don't know what that means, but Raya won't interfere. He just wanted to find a way to cancel their honeymoon.
“Don't now Karan, we can honeymoon later,” said Raya while preventing her husband from packing his things. Note that, Karan is not cleaning his personal belongings, but packing Raya's belongings. It was not a crucial item as Karan only chose the dresses and dres Raya after matching with her suit. Maybe the man wants them to look harmonious, at least judging by the color selection.
“Why not now, dear? You haven't been busy and I also happen to have business there. Don't you want a honeymoon? Have you forgotten that wish?” revealed Karan with busy hands pairing Raya's clothes with her own. Karan had a little trouble choosing it. It was not because Raya's clothes were not worthy because Karan always gave the best clothes to his wife. But Karan is confused which clothes are not suitable for Raya. Karan does not want his wife to look very beautiful abroad. In the country alone Karan difficult to stop the wild eyes of men especially abroad. Make no mistake, Asian women are seen as very beautiful by Caucasians. That is why some of them prefer to marry Asian women rather than European women.
Raya knows Karan's confusion, and he tries to stop her husband by touching her hand. “Yes, but not so fast. I don't even think we should honeymoon in Milan.”
“Why with Milan? You don't like her? Should we choose another city? Maybe another country?” Karan seemed to have no objection at all had their travel route been changed. The man simply ordered his private pilot to change their route. Yes, Karan does not use commercial aircraft. He chose to use his private plane to make Raya feel comfortable. Just for Raya because Karan doesn't care about anything but the wife.
The super model blinked, annoyed by this talk. “No, it's not that I don't like Milan, I like it. You know Italy .. That country is a beautiful country. Honeymooning there is a great option. But I don't think the timing is right. I just don't know where to go in Milan. We need to plan our honeymoon well, Karan." She tried to explain it to her husband. He wasn't sure it worked, but he could only hope.
“Why do we need a plan, hm? We just need to get around the city. Oh yes, Ian has also prepared some places for us to visit. I'll have him send his location to your phone so you can look around.” Karan touched both of Raya's hands and gently stroked them. While the two brown netra Karan looked at the beautiful face of the wife inside. “So darling, you don't have to worry. I promise I won't work there. Maybe just having a small meeting that takes two hours. Then all my time is yours. I'll just accompany you wherever you want.”
That's what makes Raya object. Ian's Involvement. Regardless that Ian is Karan's personal assistant who is an important person for the husband's life, but this is the honeymoon he and Karan had. Why did Karan involve Ian? Isn't the honeymoon destination to glue married couples? So why involve a third party that has nothing to do at all. The honeymoon in Raya's mind is so different. All he wants is a honeymoon where he and Karan determine where they stop together. No, Raya doesn't want a romantic home life because she realizes their marriage started not out of love. But at least, they can get to know each other as life partners who know and complement each other.
“Karan, can we not involve Ian? I mean, it's our honeymoon. It should have been us who chose the location,” said Raya, hoping Karan would consider postponing their honeymoon. They will not be in Milan for a while. Karan embarked on their honeymoon vacation, spending ten to fifteen days. It was quite a long time for Raya, especially she just wanted to start her career as a model again.
Karan looked unhappy with Raya's words. “I ‘kan told you, Raya. You decide the place. Ian only recommended it, not meddling in our honeymoon. Never mind, I don't want to hear any more excuses. We're leaving tonight. Whether you like it or not, but you can't postpone it anymore,” press the CEO. When the man had mentioned his wife's name directly, it meant that Karan closed himself off from negotiations. He doesn't want to hear any more objections.
A breath sounded from the mouth of Kingdom. He was upset, but could not refuse. In the end, he could only give up. “Alright, we'll go. But not at night. At least tomorrow morning because there's something I have to do tonight.”
“What do you want to do?” ask Karan curiously.
“I already made an appointment with my manager about work. We cannot discuss if we have gone to Milan. So please, we leave tomorrow?”
The man caught Raya's wailing eye bead. Finally, he was devastated by the wishes of his wife. “Alright, we leave tomorrow. But honey, you can't meet your manager outside the house. Bring him here and talk about your work in our house. Do you understand?”
Raya nodded without making any protest as she had expected this beforehand. Let their meeting be at home. Wherever they met, it was not a problem for Raya because there was something the manager had to bring to her in the meeting later tonight.
Ika, the manager of the Kingdom came at the hour they had promised. He met Karan first in the living room, the man was chatting with Ian. After obtaining permission, he stepped onto the top floor, where the Kingdom was located.
Every night is always like that. After spending dinner together, Raya will soon return to her room. It wasn't because Karan told her to. Without the man, Raya prefers to be in the room. At least inside the room he could breathe normally and do everything without being watched by the people Karan hired. Not only Ian, Anna and everyone in the house were Karan's men. Their job is not only to clean, clean and prepare the needs of the house, but also to supervise the Kingdom. It even became their main job. So that Raya does not run away like before and monitor what Raya does all day in the house.
While in the room Raya can be a little free. No one can enter his room without his permission. Karan also reminded me of that. The CEO also did not want any servants who would casually enter the room without the knowledge of the owner of the room. That's why Raya likes to be in the room. Maybe it was the best place in the house.
“Mbak Kingdom, this is Ika. Can I come in?” the manager exclaimed from outside the room. He knocked on the door first while waiting for a response from within.
“Log in, Brother. Door unlocked,” Reply Kingdom.
As soon as Ika entered, Raya immediately asked Ika to lock the door of her room, then sit on the sofa in the room. “How? Is Karan wondering something?” he concluded while observing Ika's body, trying to find out whether there are strange signs that the husband affixed to the manager. Maybe this is overkill. Maybe Raya has been affected by the film or drama that she watched while locked in her room first. But, Raya really could not believe Karan one hundred percent. The man's behavior was so strange, especially when they were on Asoka Street. There must be something in that place that Raya does not know about and is being covered up by Karan.
That's why Raya wanted to investigate. He can't do that on his own because of the strict surveillance Karan has put on him. The man also restricted his movements after returning from Asoka Street yesterday. Today, Raya is banned from working when only a day she serves as the director of the foundation. No ‘is that awkward? Given Karanlah who was so enthusiastic about hiring Raya at the headquarters that Karan had to be willing to move his workplace which was originally in the watch company to be at the headquarters of Reviano Group. All just for the sake of being close to Raya.
On the other hand, Raya also felt that there was something strange about the path of Asoka. His aunt convinced him that they never lived there. Neighbors around their house used to prove that, too, that her aunt never lived there. However, Raya always felt she had a strong bond with the area. Maybe his parents used to live there. Or they had brought Raya to visit that place. To be sure, Raya felt very confident that her visit with Karan yesterday was not the first visit of Raya on Asoka Street.
“Pak Karan only saw me at a glance earlier. He was busy chatting with Ian,” timpal Ika.
Raya also breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank God then. But Brother bring what I asked for ‘kan?”
Ika nodded. “Iya, I take.” The woman took out a laptop from her bag. He turned on the laptop and gave it to Raya. “Why did you borrow my laptop? Is there a computer here? Mbak also has his own laptop and mobile phone.” This is confusing as Raya is completely furnished luxury facilities by Karan. Even if Raya does not like those things, just a matter of seconds Karan can bring a new one that is in accordance with the wishes of Raya.
“I can't use it. Karan can track whatever I'm looking for on my laptop or phone. I don't want to make a fuss.” Raya holds an Ika laptop, a laptop that is of course very old and cheap compared to his. It's just that there is one that can not be done by a sophisticated laptop owned by Raya, which is free from the supervision of her own husband. “Kakak has also been looking for what I asked ‘kan?”
Ika can't stay in their house too long or Karan will be suspicious of the woman. So before coming here, Raya had asked the manager to look for the data he wanted. Data about Asoka Street. Raya wants to know the reason that made Karan and his father-in-law so much to help the area. The story Karan gave sounded reasonable, but Raya remained dissatisfied. Her husband is too mysterious. Maybe he was hiding something when he told me about his father-in-law's experience.
“This Mbak,” show Ika. He observed the face of Raya who was so enthusiastic. “But, why did you find out about any incident on Asoka Street? It's really harmless ‘kan Mbak? Or do-don't you want to escape to this area?” chirp Ika while widening her eyes.
