Arka was still sitting languidly in front of the ICU room, where Rio was lying. Shortly thereafter, Amanda approached him. Arka turned to his wife, with a look that seemed to be immediately welcomed. He could not stand all the fear that was lodged in his heart.
So Amanda grabbed her husband with a hug. Arka hugged Amanda, her heartbeat still irregular until this moment. His body no longer had energy. Amanda tried to calm her husband, rubbed Arka's back and gave him a warm kiss on the forehead. The feeling of anxiety in Arka's heart was slightly reduced.
"Prophey, Ka. Rio will definitely be fine." said Amanda while still rubbing Arka's back.
"He's the only friend I trust, man. He's a good man." The voice of Arka half sobbed.
"Yes, I know, we pray. So that Rio can get through his critical period soon."
Arka nodded and tightened her embrace, she did not want to say anything more. All he needs right now is a backrest, and Amanda is his best backrest.
"Man, I'm back at the hospital." said Arka after driving Amanda to the front of the penthouse.
"Yes, but don't forget to eat and rest. Rio also definitely would not if you why-why?"
Arka nodded.
"So you've met Intan's family?" ask Arka.
"Udah, Ka. And the maintenance cost I took care of. Plus the guy who hit him, is also willing to take responsibility."
"Yes, later I will update continuously news Intan. I'll tell you, I'm sorry that this malem can't keep you anymore."
"Yes, Ka. Nothing koq, the important thing is to keep your health."
Arka nodded, Amanda got out of the car. Shortly after, Arka left the place.
Arka guarded Rio all night, he always monitored the state of Intan. Rio himself was fairly stable, there were no bad reports or his condition declined that night. While Intan, not much progress. The situation remains worrying.
Two days later, Arka was just about to return home. When a phone call from peace production management reported that there had been a problem concerning Arka's career continuity.
Arka who should now meet his wife, was forced to go to the office and hear an explanation from the management.
"Ka, here's a picture of you again carrying a girl to the hospital. Here it says that this girl is named Liana Amelia, the victim of a gang rape orchestrated by elo."
Arka was surprised to hear the statement, his body was like being hit by a large rock.
"Sir, if I'm involved. Why am I still here, just relax, not run away?"
"According to this thread circulating on Twitter, you like Liana. But Liana nolak lo, and finally you masterminded this rape. Lo appears as a hero so Liana will accept you."
"Crazy times yeah, I'm really pure howling him. Rio witness, I walk the same Rio malem. I and Rio found Liana already lying on a deserted street."
"Lo knows Liana?"
"He's the one who's working with my wife."
"Ka, I also have a hard time believing this. Mr. Jeremy and Mr. Philip also believe in you. The problem is that our clients cannot be forced to believe. Netizens already have a perception and now your name is frenzied in the virtual world. Many clients are asking to cancel their cooperation with you."
Arka was sitting lethargic, cold sweat pouring down from his body. Who did it, who did it to him.
With heightened emotions, Arka left the room. Arni doesn't want to leave yet. I have to wait for Philip and Jeremy to arrive.
Arka drives her car to the campus and searches for where Robert, it doesn't take long, Arka gets it. Without further ado Arka approached and beat up the young man.
"Rubby."
In an instant Robert fell, he was surprised to get such treatment from Arka. He had not had time to fight, suddenly Arka had done it again.
"Rubby."
"Rubby."
The atmosphere was quiet, no one saw the event. Because it happened in a corner, when Robert was working on something on his laptop. It is known that Robert is a typical human who does not really like the crowd, except for filming and work.
"What the fuck?" robert shouted, wiping the blood coming out from the corner of his lips.
"It's what spreads my photos and makes me a gossip."
"What do you mean, Ka?" robert did not understand.
"Not pretend to bego, you son of a bitch. Face me here."
Arka pulled Robert's collar and beat him again.
"Ka, I really don't understand." cried Robert again.
"Don't you know what you said?" Arka threw Robert down until he fell, then showed the news on his phone to the young man. Robert read with a surprised expression.
"Ka, I really don't know about this. I'm not the one."
"Lo hasn't always liked me. Because I'm Maureen's ex and you love Maureen."
"Gue never dated Maureen."
"Maureen who bullied me and assumed that I was her boyfriend."
"Why do you look friendly in public if you don't love him?"
"Maureen holds a secret about me. I had plastic surgery on some parts of my face and body, and it was kept secret. Maureen says if I don't want to be her boyfriend, she'll make my career move, she'll spread it all. I had to, Ka. Because I still have 3 sisters who are still in my dependents. I don't know where, I guess I don't work. I have time for other people to be wicked, while the problems of my life have been piled up. Maureen macarin I made pansos." said Robert later.
Arka thinks maybe this is all Maureen's work.
"Gue never envied anyone and never tried to ruin anyone's career, Ka. Just so you know, there are a lot of offers that I refuse. Just so I can be thrown into the elo, I was never greedy at work. Try to look around you first, maybe there are others who always want to wiggle you lose everything."
Arka looked at Robert, there was not a single lie in the young man's eyes and tone of voice. Arka is haunted by guilt.
While in the office, daffodils are together. Problems after problems that arise in Arka also appear in Amanda.
Whether what sins he had committed, suddenly his leadership was transferred to Rani. Amanda really doesn't understand, the top brass and shareholders held an impromptu meeting. And then agree on all of that. An autographed statement by Amanda, confirming that she asked Rani to replace him was seen in front of her eyes.
Without being given a chance to talk, in front of the board and shareholders. Amanda was fouled and accused of having sold company secrets to rival companies.
"I never did any of that."
Amanda defended herself in front of several pairs of eyes, which were intimidating her.
"But all the evidence points to you Amanda." One of the shareholders, presented the evidence in front of Amanda.
That there are some unnatural sales transactions, here is an email containing company secrets. This should only be known by Amanda and also the ranks of officials. The email was sent to the email address of their competitors, sent via Amanda's own personal email.
"Even if you were instrumental in the founding of this company, Amanda. But the company is jointly controlled. Shareholders are also entitled to say, if your leadership here is not in accordance with what you should run."
Amanda was quiet, it was hard to think this time. He knew there had been an entrapment conspiracy committed by those closest to him.
"We are forced to dismiss you temporarily, until the case is fully investigated. And for leadership, in accordance with your mandate, we will accept Rani as interim leader here. Even if it's against the rules. Because you gave Rani a mandate while you were still the leader here."
"I never gave any mandate."
"But in this letter is a signature and stamp that you used to use."
"I never did it all."
"Let the investigation team look for evidence, you better rest at home."
The meeting was dissolved. Amanda was glued to her place, cold sweat now flooding all over her body.
He immediately went out and looked for Rani, but the woman did not exist. He was already very anxious to rampage at the woman, because he did not expect that Rani would have that much money on him.
It shouts Rani's name, hoping that the lady****** appears before her. But it was blocked by security.
"I'm the leader here, why am I blocked?" amanda shouted at the security.
"Sorry, mom. We are only carrying out the orders of other officials and shareholders" said one of the security forces.
Amanda is pulled and directed to the road home by Satya and Deni. The other employees could not do anything, until this moment they still do not believe in what Amanda did. All this sounds like a fabrication.
But even those employees can't do much. They are simply employees working under the leadership of their respective division heads. Amanda's problems and the board and shareholders are none of their business, despite wanting them to help. Amanda finally came home with a really peaking annoyance.
The problem was getting more complicated, when Arka's parents were visited by many journalists and admin of lambe-lambean accounts. To ask about the rumors spreading about the child. Arka's father and mother were shocked to hear the statement. Fortunately, there was a gang of Mawar ma'am who drove the reporters away, so they would leave immediately.
Although bu Mawar and the gang are gossipers, but see their noisy environment by the people who come, let alone to disturb public order. It was their job to reconcile the situation.
"Mom, Arka isn't like that ma'am. I believe the same Arka, Arka's mother's son."
"Be quiet, I can't believe it anymore after so many lies you've been doing."
His mother said when Arka deliberately came, to explain the problem. But the mother does not seem to accept, she believes more in what is now circulating on social media.
"Mommy purposely covered your relationship with Liana in front of Amanda. Just to save you in the eyes of your wife. Now you destroy yourself with all your evil."
"Mom, Arka with Liana is not related. I was the one who had been wrong all this time."
"Already, enough. Now you leave your mother's house, before the reporter comes again. I'm embarrassed enough, Arka. Don't add to mom's burden anymore."
"But, ma'am."
"Enough Arka, go there...!"
Arka stepped gontai from her mother's house. He met his stepfather. His stepfather was silent and looked disappointed. While Rianti himself chose not to meet face to face with his cousin. The arc is completely destroyed at this moment. Not to mention the management people who unceasingly called to his number, all adding to the atmosphere.
Amanda returns to the penthouse, she receives a news link from one of her employees. When clicked, the news presented the latest gossip about her husband. Who is accused of being the mastermind behind the rape of Liana. Almost Amanda fell unconscious, she is now sitting languidly on the floor of her room. Arka went home to the penthouse and knocked on the door.
"I don't want to see your face, Ka." said Amanda from the inside.
"You're disgusting, I hate you."
Amanda's tears began to flow, Arka knew surely this news had reached his wife's ears. He hears sobbing from inside, while the room is locked by Amanda. Now both of them were silent, Arka sat leaning against the door of his wife's room. Their minds seemed to be in an endless labyrinth, as if there was no way out at all.
