Love Affair
PART 24

Bayu stared intently at Defin and as fast as lightning he hit Defin's face with his fist making him fall down on the floor.

Defin got back up and stood back in front of Bayu. A salty taste lingered on his tongue, as the red liquid came out from the corner of his lips.

I don't know how many blows he received for failing to do his job that night.

"With whose orders, you let him go alone!"

"Sorry sir, I think that evening Miss Raya needed some space to calm herself down."

"Aren't you there. Why can't it prevent Sarah from causing trouble!"

Defin still lowered his head. Whatever defense he did would be of no use since everything was indeed a fatal mistake he had committed.

"Really disappointing!" Bayu left Defin who was still down in the work room Bayu.

Bayu was furious when he saw the condition of Raya in the hospital. Raya is still unconscious. A small operation was also performed.

"Wake up and tell me what to do to the people who made you sad that night" Bayu said, kissing Raya's hand.

Hearing the knocking sound of Bayu's door again sat on the sofa before ordering Defin in.

"Sir, the two people who were at the scene that night didn't seem to have anything to do with the person we suspected."

"Don't let your guard down, they could've planned all this. Quickly solve this problem and if they are not involved shut them up - meeting."

Defin nodded obediently.

"The problem is not just that. The media have reported the accident that night, lest they disturb the existence of Raya."

"I've cleared up the incident. But indeed some photos and videos had already spread this morning."

"Look at what you've missed. How can you be so careless like this. Use the people under your control don't solve this problem yourself."

"I'm sorry, I've been so disappointing."

Overthinking the safety of Raya, Defin makes the mistake of not immediately cleaning up the rest of the accident that night. When the morning before the new Defin woke up and immediately headed to the scene and had become a spectacle of people who went through the road.

Although he had asked them to delete whatever they recorded but still the news was still spreading.

"Obati wounds on your body. I will not forgive if negligence occurs on the grounds that your condition is not good."

"I'm fine, sir."

The punch that Defin got from Bayu was indeed quite sick. But, he could still endure it all and did not need any treatment.

Then Defin left the hospital for the base he used to use to solve this kind of problem.

Defin met the two men who were at the scene that night.

"Have they told you what really happened?" ask Defin to his men.

"They are negligent for not giving any sign when their car is in repair. But, we've seen the scene this morning and it looks like it's true Miss Raya is driving at such a high speed that she can't control her car."

"Give them some money and ask them not to tell anyone about the incident that night. Don't make any mistakes."

According to orders, Yon and Budi were released. Defin's two confidants drove them to the scene that night.

They get a lot of money when compared with their wages as drivers of the logging of protected forests.

After the two men left. Yon and Budi opened each of the envelopes that had been given.

"What dream did we have last night, Bud. This much money is to keep your mouth shut" said Yon, who counts sheet by sheet of money in a brown envelope he holds.

"But they also make us battered like this."

"ah! It's not a matter of being compared to the money we get."

"But you're not curious about that woman?" tanya Budi who sat on a fallen log on the side of the road not far from their car.

"Curious or not, let's not talk about this anymore. One thing is for sure they can do more cruelly than make our bodies battered like this."

"But, what if it turns out that the woman is in danger?" ask again

"Oh, you are why you are so weak. It's not our business anymore. If they had evil intentions on that woman, where could she have been treated in such a luxurious hospital."

"Yes too. We'd better fix this car and get the wood to the boss's place. He must have been so angry because we were late."

"That's dong from earlier. The important thing is we have a lot of money so do not think that is not our problem."

Tessa climbed the stairs of her house in a hurry when she saw Bayu's car parked in their yard.

He hopes to get an answer from Bayu soon about what he saw today. Tessa opened the door to Bayu's room without permission.

An annoyed look on their faces flashed as their eyes met each other.

"You have no hands to knock on the door" Bayu told Tessa, still standing in the doorway.

"You think I can still be polite after all you've done."

"Quick say what you want. I don't have time to hear your babbling."

"For what to provide hospital care facilities for Raya as expensive as that," said Tessa by draping her hands on her chest.

"Then do you feel at a disadvantage? I didn't even ask you to pay for it."

"You don't use my money. But, it's an exaggeration Kingdom is just a minor wound but you took a super luxurious outpatient room for him."

Bayu stared intently at Tessa and approached the woman who was still his wife to this day and pointed at her face.

"Did you not use your brain to think?! You can say it was a minor injury while Raya was unconscious until now."

"You can see for yourself how the news out there is spreading. Our family's big name got smeared because of Raya. I've been pretty embarrassed by what happened that night in front of Javier's family."

"You're still the same, Tessa. You just keep defending your family that doesn't even have the manners of Sarah. Shouldn't you blame your beloved niece, if only she hadn't acted the Kingdom couldn't have experienced all of this!"

The debate between Bayu and Tessa heats up when Tessa alludes to the affair.

"I want you to move Raya to another Hospital if you need to move her to the smallest area so that no one knows her whereabouts."

"It's none of your business, Tessa. If only Raya had known your nature like this, she would have been sad."

"Sad?! I am also sad to lose my brother. All this time I tried so hard to forgive Raya."

"How many times should I explain. It's not all the fault of the Kingdom! He never even hurt your sister!"

"Until any time, I will still blame Raya for the passing of my brother."

"You see this..." Bayu shows an online news story on his mobile phone to Tessa.

Tessa read the big headline of the news. Then he sighed with a cynical smile.It was clear the media already knew that was their nephew.

The baby threw his phone on the bed. "They already know the identity of Raya. You think they'll stop here?! Sooner or later they will know our household problems. Isn't that also not a profitable thing for our respective businesses. So stop interfering in my business."

"Good! Now he's really been in the spotlight, even making headlines."

"You know what you have to do, Tessa. Meet Raya tomorrow morning at the hospital and show your concern to the media."

"But one thing you have to remember, Bayu. Quickly overcome this commotion otherwise I will really make Raya go far away from our lives."

Tessa came out of Bayu's room, slammed the door as hard as she could.

For him the faults all lie with Raya. If only her brother-in-law was still alive then her brother would also not experience mental disorders due to deep sadness.

Many times Bayu said that all of it had become destiny for both of them. However, Tessa still continues to deny it.

Bayu was forced to return to the house again to muffle the uncertain news scattered in the media. In addition to the accident that Raya alamai revealed that Raya was his nephew.

Many media outlets are trying to find out the origin of the Kingdom. It was easy for them to get information after getting information from the residents around the Villa that revealed that only the Bayu family had a party that night.

Bayu sat on the edge of the bed. He wiped his face with both of his palms.

How much longer do I have to hang on to Tessa. The woman is stubborn and just as crazy as her brother.

"He was more concerned with money than the recovery of his own nephew" muttered Bayu

Bayu grabs her phone and contacts Defin to guard Raya tonight.

His piled up work made him unable to accompany Raya tonight, it had been a few days that he ignored the office problems.

Bayu sat up on the sofa of his room. Bayu reached for his phone because there was a message coming in. Some of his clients began to fret with the news about Raya.

So much news cornered Raya. There are several media that say that Raya experienced mental disorders, drug dependence and the main news states that the night of the accident occurred because Raya was under the influence of alcohol.

Bayu let out a long sigh and closed his eyes. His head was heavy and dizzy. What if Raya wakes up and finds out all this, she must be very devastated and sad.

All of this is not the peak. If his affair with Raya was exposed, everyone would blame Raya. Even to imagine all that Bayu can not afford.
