The night is late enough. Arja hasn't come home since the fight. He did not come to his friends' house either.
In his heart, Airin was very disappointed with what Arja did. However, his mind still felt fear of loss and felt strange.
A message came in. With a wish Airin may the message be from Arja. Apparently not, Vino who sent a message and told about Sela. Vino didn't find Sela anywhere.
Now Airin's mind is growing. It was Arja and now it's Sela. Why they can only make Airin like this. Airin's pity and return to Sela's parents made her unable to hurt Sela.
"Madam, there's Mr. Vino downstairs," said the butler who came to the reading room.
"Yes." Yeah."
Justright. Vino was already sitting with a cell phone in his hand. Maybe he sent a message to Airin when he was here. Airin asked the waiter to make him a drink.
"You been a long time?" ask Airin.
"Lumayan. I'm sorry, I can't find Sela anywhere, even though I've asked my men for help." It was clear that Vino felt sorry he could not help Airin.
"It's okay. Maybe she's back at her mother's house."
Vino nodded his head. Airin was silent, honestly Airin felt that Arja had helped Sela. Hope nothing happens.
"Is your husband home?" ask Vino then.
"Yes, he just went to bed."
Airin lied to Vino. He doesn't want Vino to know his true relationship with Arja. He would definitely ask Airin to go with him again.
"Then I'll go now. Sorry to interrupt."
"No, you're not interrupting at all."
Airin escorted Vino to the front door. Before Vino left, Vino looked at Airin with an incomprehensible look.
"What?" ask Airin.
"If anything happens. I'm still in the same place, Rin."
Unknowingly Airin nodded his head. Maybe, Vino already knew what was happening. He just pretended not to understand.

Breakfast is ready. Airin hasn't taken anything yet, still waiting for Arja to arrive. Hope must remain, Airin knew effort would not betray results.
Not long after that Arja came home. He looked calmer than he was yesterday when he left. Airin approached her, hoping that this relationship would be okay.
"You awake?" asked Arja with a flat look.
"Yes. I'm waiting for you to have breakfast together" Airin said with a smile.
"You can have breakfast without waiting for me. I've had breakfast."
Arja immediately stepped away past Airin just like that. Airin can't just be quiet like this. Airin took a long breath.
"What breakfast does Sela make good? or was it Sa's secretary who made breakfast?"
Arja stopped in her steps. He looked at Airin and the plaque. A slap landed on Airin's cheek that morning. Airin did not feel any pain, yes, none of this was anything compared to the betrayal he had given.
"It's true, the man who's been having an affair. He cannot be loyal to any woman. I've been wrong to give you a chance."
"Are you going to ask for another divorce?" ask Arja. He did not even feel regret for having slapped Airin so hard.
"No. I'm not gonna ask for a divorce, you're gonna ask me for a divorce."
"What do you mean?"
"Wouldn't it be better if I followed your path. We'll have a couple out there. I can even get pregnant with another man."
"You." Shouted Arja.
Airin looked at his watch. It's time he left. It's better for Airin to meet Cika and learn from her again. Who knows, Airin could avenge what Arja did to him.
"Sorry, Mr. Arja. I have to go to work, good morning."
Airin took her bag and left Arja with all the annoyance that Arja had seen on her face. Airin did all of this intentionally. Although there was never any intention for him to complain about Arja.
"Great show."
"I just came and saw it. Sorry," said Cika with a smile.
"Come, we gotta go. Sorry for making you bother coming here."
"No problem. Actually, it was Vino who told me you needed a friend."
They set foot in Cika's car. Airin just kept quiet and listened to all of Cika's words. If only her life could be as beautiful as Cika's. No load.
He was even ordinary with Vino. Though it is clear that Cika hopes for more than the current friendship. Cika has no grudge against what Vino did while still engaged.
"Hey, you've been daydreaming since. Is Arja so outrageous?" cika asked when we were in the office parking lot and Airin did not get out of the car.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be like this."
"Just calm. Come on, we'll meet my friend. Maybe we'll work together."
Airin got down and walked along with Cika. They look so charming.
***
The meeting with Cika's friend is over. Airin thought women turned out to be two pretty decent men. He may be older than Airin.
We talked long enough until one of them stared at his watch. He looked uneasy with the current time.
"Can I go first" he said with a smile.
"of course. The meeting is over" Cika told him.
"alright. You guys can keep talking, I'll go first."
The man who was still sitting just smiled and said, "Vin, you don't know the area yet."
"Just calm. There's my personal assistant, he can deliver you Vin."
It was surprising to hear Cika's orders this time. Where is it possible that Airin will escort a man to the hotel. If anyone knew, the rumors would definitely spread quickly.
"Come, Rin. Just take a little while."
Inevitably Airin nodded as well. Airin and the man named Kevin walked towards the elevator. Shut up, that's all that happened during our trip.
Until finally they boarded the taxi and arrived at a famous hotel. Airin knew, Cika's friend was not a random person. Airin also had to understand manners.
"Thank you" said Kevin with a smile, "Oh yeah, what's your name?" added Kevin.
"Watery."
"Can we have coffee together?" bargained again.
Airin didn't know what to refuse or how. What this is Cika's plan, she thinks Airin is really looking for a man to date. Airin should ask her later.
"Come on, just a minute."
"I'm sorry, I have to go back to the office."
"Are you scared of me? I don't mean to be evil."
"I knew. It's just it's still time to work. We're new to this, too."
Kevin clucked and pulled Airin's hand forcefully into the hotel. Airin thrashed but the results were nil. Until they finally stopped in a room. Maybe Kevin's room.
"What are you doing. Let go of me or I'll scream."
"Do it."
Damnit. Why did Airinb fall into this kind of thing. His mind was muddled, Airin did not know who to contact. Until, buk. A blow knocked Kevin down.
Airin looked at the man behind her. Arja, is he here? what are? Airin forgot the question and focused on what happened.
Airin hid behind Arja's body. After the finish of the smash. Without a word Arja pulls him into a room. Their eyes meet.
Everything is like a dream. Airin had no idea why this was happening and Arja was helping him right then and there.
