My employer, my husband
Picking up Melisa

The Keanu residence

Keanu was sitting pensively in the main room. His face looked chaotic, unlike his usual days. Even his face that was always clean smooth has now begun to be overgrown by fine hairs. Similarly, his hair, has now begun to lengthen and disheveled.

Keanu's appearance that always looks neat is now inversely proportional. He no longer noticed how he looked. Even the clothes he was wearing, he chose it arbitrarily.

Since that incident, where he knew that Naila was pregnant with her child, Keanu continued to search for the whereabouts of his wife. He was even willing to leave his entire job just to find Naila. But unfortunately, until now the search carried out by him did not produce any results at all.

And now, it's not just Naila that's making Keanu even more devastated. Melisa also added a series of problems in her life. The woman actually left him and preferred to stay with her parents.

"Good morning, sir!" greet Sid, who has just arrived at Keanu's residence. Sid approached Keanu and now he was standing next to him.

Keanu exhaled heavily while rising from his sitting position. "We'd better go now. I don't want him to be angry with me anymore!" keanu.

"Well, sir." said Sid.

Keanu stepped foot into the front yard. While Sid continues to follow Mr. Keanu's footsteps from behind.

Today Keanu will soon be following Melisa to her parents' house. All that he did because Melisa herself asked for it. It has been almost a month Melisa lived in the residence of her parents and it makes her very embarrassed and angry because Keanu never once visited her.

If Keanu is so worried about the state of Naila which is still unknown existence, it is different from Melisa. He did not worry too much about her situation because he was still safe with his extended family.

On the way, Keanu only daydreamed while watching the road blankly. His mind is still raging. For some reason, he thought there was only Naila. Maybe that was karma because he had already wasted the girl.

"How, Sid? Is there a bit of a bright spot about Naila's whereabouts?" ask Keanu.

Maybe Keanu asked that a thousand times. And thousands of times Sid answered him with the same answer.

"Sorry, Sir. We still can't find him" Sid said with a sad face.

Keanu exhaled a heavy breath. "I should be happy because Melisa will come back to me today. I don't know why I don't feel that. All I'm thinking about right now is Naila and my baby!" mutilate.

Sid smiled faintly without Keanu's knowledge. "That's all karma, Mr Keanu! When he is with you, you are wasting him. And after the girl left, now you feel the consequences." - Sid

After a while, the car driven by Sid finally arrived at the front yard of Mr. Rendra's residence. The arrival of Sid and Keanu was already welcomed by the security guards at that place.

"Please come in, sir. Mr. Rendra and Mrs Rita are waiting for you inside" the security guard said.

"Alright, thanks!" sahut Keanu's.

The man walked quickly into the room where Mr. Rendra and his wife were waiting for him. While Sid still faithfully follows wherever the Big Boss is stepping.

Upon arrival in the room, it turned out to be true, Mr. Rendra, Mrs Rita and also Melisa were already in the room. Melisa was as young as Keanu walked up to her. While Mr. Rendra and Mrs Rita welcome the arrival of Keanu with a sour face.

"Keanu, Honey! I miss you .." said Melisa.

Mr. Rendra walked past Keanu without looking at his son-in-law for a moment. His face still looked sour and kept his feet up to enter his private room. While Keanu followed him from behind with a astonished face.

"Come in" said Mr. Rendra, opening the door of his private room to Keanu.

Keanu came in and stood in front of Mr. Rendra's desk. While Mr. Rendra immediately sat on his royal seat while staring at Keanu who was still standing before him.

"Keanu, do you still love Melisa?" asked Mr. Rendra while looking intently at Keanu.

Keanu was silent for a moment, now he did not know how he felt about Melisa. Since Naila's departure, she has never even thought of Melisa. All he thought about was Naila.

Keanu exhaled heavily while nodding his head slowly. Although actually Keanu is not sure of his feelings, but there is a growing generation of Melisa who will be his responsibility.

"Yes, Dad," said Keanu.

Mr. Rendra let out a rough breath, he looked annoyed even though he was disappointed after hearing Keanu's reply. The man got up from his chair then walked over to Keanu who was still standing before him.

"Deliver Naila! And focus on Melisa and your baby!" tell Mr. Rendra.

Keanu shok heard Mr. Rendra's orders. He did not expect it turned out Melisa told everything that happened to her parents.

"But, Father ... Naila,"

Bugkkkh ...

A slap landed onto Keanu's face. Keanu was very surprised when he got a surprise attack from Mr. Rendra. He did not expect his father-in-law to do that to him.

"You're disgusting Keanu! You took away Naila's chastity and married her! You should have cut off your relationship with Melisa by then and focus on building a household with the girl! But because of your stupidity, you married them both and eventually everyone felt the same pain!" upset Mr. Rendra,

Keanu did not reply, he just fell silent and listened to Mr. Rendra's words while stroking his sore cheek from his father-in-law's blow.

"I've done that stupid thing before, Keanu! And I hope no more stupid men will repeat my mistakes! But I was wrong! It turned out that my own daughter-in-law repeated my mistake!"

Mr. Rendra exhaled heavily, "Maybe this is the karma I must accept. But I didn't expect this to happen to my children!" continued Mr. Rendra while shuffling his hair and then releasing it violently.

Keanu frowned when Mr. Rendra mentioned the word 'my children'. As far as Keanu, Mr. Rendra's only son, Melisa. However, why did Mr. Rendra mention that word, as if his son was not just one.

Keanu does not know that Naila is the biological child of Mr. Rendra. Mr. Rendra never told anyone except Tom Naila, his personal assistant.

Even Mrs Rita is still finding out who and where Mr. Rendra's biological son is. He was afraid that the girl was present then shifted her position and also Melisa. Because no matter how much love and affection Mr. Rendra towards Melisa, Melisa is still the stepson of Mr. Rendra.
