My husband Tajir & Arogan (Season 1)
CHAPTER XII
The next day...
Since last night's incident, neither Rafael nor Delia have discussed it again. Last night the man fell asleep on the sofa of his room, while Delia slept on Rafael's big bed. Delia was grateful that the man had not touched her. He hopes Rafael will still limit his touch during their marriage, which is still unclear to Delia.
Raphael called a servant to prepare their breakfast. The man couldn't possibly take his wife to the dining room in this kind of situation. They finally had breakfast in their room.
"Are you okay?" ask Rafael.
Delia nodded her head.
"Sorry about what happened last night, Del, please be patient until Hartanto blesses our relationship. He needs to know who his wife and stepson really are. I need time to uncover everything. All that time, will you stay with me?"
"So my role as a wife will end once you can make peace with your father" Delia thought sadly.
Seeing Delia's gloomy face made Rafael's heart very sad. But the man misinterpreted his wife's grief.
"Darling, even though we're not approved yet, I'll always protect you."
Delia nodded her head again.
"Eat a lot baby, I don't want to see you thin. What will people say when they think of you as Widjaja's unhappy wife" said Rafael.
"You've gone mad, for fear that people won't make me happy, you want to turn me into a pig" Delia replied.
Rafael chuckled, "this mind of mine is always lost when talking to you. My day has been really happy since you were, Del. I'm always laughing."
Delia narrowed her eyes, "you're happy to be able to escape Katrina Dowell and now you think of me as a clown."
Rafael chokes, "you made me lose my appetite when his name was called. And my God, who would consider a beautiful woman like you a clown dear?"
"Ciiiih, it turns out that in addition to being perverted, you are also a seductive man," ridiculed Delia.
Rafael let go of his laughter, but Delia's taunts did not make him angry at all.
"Because you think I'm a pervert and a seductress, so will we be able to do the first night?" goda Rafael's.
Delia's face turned flushed, "don't try the venerable Rafael Widjaja."
"It's funny, baby, when I want to touch you, you call me a gentleman" said Rafael, chuckling, "you're my wife, I have the right to do so" he added
"Rafael.it can't be happening."
Rafael held back his laughter from seeing Delia's frightened face. Shy women like Delia are certainly still virgins. He could not hurt and touch her until Delia herself wanted him.
After breakfast, Rafael takes Delia to the campus. Lucky when they came out of Widjaja's house, they did not meet Hartanto or the others.
Arriving at the university where Delia attended, Rafael was immediately possessive.
"Don't try to flirt with other men" Rafael said.
"That's very possessive," muttered Delia.
"Of course, you're my wife."
"You shouldn't have taken me to the front of campus."
"You're ashamed that I'm your husband?"
"I'm the one who's ashamed, because I don't deserve a rich man like you. I'm like a Cinderella like in a fairy tale, they must think of me like that" Delia thought.
"Delia Widjaja, never put yourself down. Let me know when it's over, we'll take mom and dad to the airport."
"You're like a psychic who can read my mind, sir. And one more thing, don't change my name all you want."
"Ckckck. Your name follows my march after we take the wedding vows."
Delia pursed her lips as she exited Rafael's car. The woman immediately entered the campus without looking back again.
*****
Rafael leaves the Delia campus. The man immediately contacted his secretary.
"Can you name my schedule today" asked Rafael after Melia answered her phone.
Melia immediately mentioned all her schedules to Rafael.
"Give it all to Firdaus, I wonder how he can handle it. There's something I need to finish outside. Please tell Jodhi too" Rafael ordered.
"But sir, our client just wants to meet you" Melia replied.
"My business is more important than anything Melia. Why are you starting to question my decision? You can handle it, it's not the first time I haven't seen a client."
"All right, sir" Melia replied.
Rafael hangs up the phone, then goes back to the detective he hired.
"We meet now" Rafael said.
That's all he said and hung up again.
*****
An hour later...
Rafael waits for his 15-minute hired detective at the place they used to meet. The detective finally showed up. He showed several photos of evidence of a man meeting a middle-aged woman who cursed Delia. And some places that woman visited.
"Very sure sir, that woman is a paid woman, the goal is to humiliate your wife so that no man will approach her. And the man who told her was named Bethran Markes. The man turned out to be at school with your wife in Lampung, now he's at the same university as your wife."
Rafael smiled, "I know now. So the man liked my wife so much, but she refused him, that he did all sorts of things to get her."
"It's more like that, sir."
"Well, it's nice to work with you, the rest let me take care of it. I'll call you if I need it again. I transferred the rest this morning" Rafael said.
The detective shakes Rafael's hand while leaving him.
Rafael feels guilty to his wife, he threatens Delia with a devious way to get her. From the beginning he was convinced Delia was a good woman, but for the sake of getting the woman, with many reasons he still doubted Delia. And now that he is more convinced by his own feelings, he is not only interested and wants the woman, but he also falls in love at first sight.

Somewhere else...
Bethran and Katrina have planned carefully, apparently they want to kidnap Delia's parents as a means of exchange later. They found out where Delia's parents were staying. And today is the perfect time for both of them to do their plans. Parent Bethran and Katrina head to the Aston hotel. The man knocked on the room that Delia's parents occupied.
Hearing the knocking of the door, Derry thought it was Rafael and Delia who were going to pick them up. The man opened the door and looked at the face of the foreign man in front of him.
"Who are you looking for?" ask Derry.
"Is this really the room of lord and mistress Laros?"
Derry nodded his head, "i'm Derry Laros."
"Sorry sir, I was ordered by Mr. Widjaja to pick you up" the man said.
"Loh. said Rafael himself who wanted to pick us up with our daughter Delia."
"Sorry Mr. Laros, Mr. Widjaja there is urgent work. So I'm the one assigned to pick you up."
Derry thought for a long time, but indeed his son-in-law was a busy man.
"Well, wait a minute" Derry said as he walked in and told his wife.
They came out with their suitcases.
"Do we have to call Rafael first?" ask Emili.
"Maybe Mr. Widjaja's phone is not activated while working. You take it easy madam, I'll drive you safely."
Derry and Emili did not ask much more, both of them could only follow the man out of the Aston hotel. The hired man sent a short message to Bethran Markes.
⁇ ️Bos.. the mission succeeded. 1 hour to the location.
*****
Rafael meets his best friend at Huda's cafe after meeting the detective. The man showed them strong evidence of Delia's problem.
"Do you think I should do this guy?" ask Rafael.
"You know better what you have to do, Raf," Tyar replied.
"Put it in a sack and drown it in the sea" replied Huda.
"That's a criminal, you taught me to play dirty Hud."
"Not playing dirty, but I'm straight to the point."
"Ck.. This is the result if all you have in your head is women," taunted Tyar.
"Damn it...!" huda Ogat.
"Do I have to destroy the company of his family? this is a warning for his actions" Rafael said.
"If it's necessary, why not" replied Tyar.
"'cck... So your beautiful wife is a good woman, my God, you're so lucky Raf. Find one for me like that" said Huda.
Rafael throws the pea shell that was on the table at Huda, "dream it," he sneered.
"In addition to this problem that has been solved, it seems like there is something you should know," Rafael added.
His two best friends approached Rafael seriously. Rafael smiled at her smile.
"It looks like I'm in love with my wife" Rafael said.
Rafael's confession made his two friends laugh out loud. They did not expect a Widjaja finally fell in love.
"Then tell him Raf," Tyar said.
"It won't be easy. Given that Delia knew at first I was just using her, my confession now gives myself goosebumps, ", Rafael said wryly.
"You're a scary guy, when you say love doesn't dare" Huda sneered.
"It's true that I want to beat you Hud" Rafael threatened.
They just giggle amusedly hearing it.
