NOT Second Lead
Fail

Since coming home from the field survey, it feels like Rihana feels her stamina is somewhat decreased.

He felt his body get tired quickly. Probably also because the division is so busy these days. Last night he had a lack of rest.

As of today, she felt somewhat unwell. After returning home from lunch with Alexander, a pile of work was already on his desk.

Rihana kept trying to do it even though his head started to feel dizzy.

Notification of the message from Alexander made him a bit confused to convey to his grandparents.

Alexander

I made a reservation for six tonight. I will send the address later. I'll bring my parents to get acquainted with your mama's family ♡♡

And not long after that the address of the restaurant in a very luxurious five-star hotel was sent Alexander.

Rihana was worried. Not sure, if papa Alexander's mama wants to meet his mother's family who is not yet known who is.

Alexander also why not ask first who is the family of his mother?

Rihana becomes a gedeg himself.

Why not tomorrow. So cheesy.

Rihana tried to take a deep breath to reduce the tightness in her chest.

The council who was visiting Afif Suhendrata, his father Alexander was presented with the face of his friend.

"What's wrong?" ask the Council while sitting in front of his best friend.

"Alexander's been moving very fast" he complained.

"meaning?"

"Tonight Alex asked me and his mother to go with him to see the girl's family."

Alexander's forehead wrinkled.

"Don't you say the girl's an orphan?"

Papa Alexander sighed harshly.

"Said the girl found her mother's family."

The board fell silent, as if it was digesting.

"What does that mean? Mama and dad separated?"

"Alexander didn't say anything. But I can draw a conclusion, presumably his father had left him and his mother a long time ago. Or it could be that his father did not want to take responsibility when his mother became pregnant with him," explained Papa Alexander at length.

DEG

"It could also be for some reason, his father did not intentionally, could not be responsible," the Board replied after his heart felt as if he had been stabbed by a knife when he heard a word like a verdict for him.

His friend seemed to be insinuating him.

"Yes, yeah, whatever. What is clear is that his father is not known who," replied Afif sekennya. He didn't think too much about it. All he was trying to figure out was how to thwart Alexander's plans in a subtle way. Unsuspected of his son.

Back the Council felt his heart being stabbed again. This time it was deeper.

Yes, he is a man who is not responsible.

Does Rihana also have the same papa as her?

Or is he his father? Who knows....

DEG DEG DEG

His heart was beating hard as he suddenly thought of that possibility.

But it's not possible. His heart refused to believe. It was the strangest thought that had ever stopped in his head.

Because if you have thought about the child and his mother who does not know where he is, making his head almost broken.

"The mother preferred Aurora. This way. Alexander already had the desire to be deflected," complained Afif again while throwing his breath rough.

The youngest child why it is so difficult to obey. Though what Aurora lack, her mind is upset.

"Are you guys coming?" ask the Council was a bit was too. Aurora's mind must have fallen if she had heard this news.

Nah! He had to do something to thwart Alexander's plans.

"Do you have a plan?" Afif asked back.

Council silent. Suddenly there was a message notification coming into the phone that he was holding.

His lips smiled slanted.

"Tonight Alexander could not meet the girl with his family. Because he's gonna be overtime with Zerina."

Afif smiled broadly. His heart was relieved. But just for a moment. How about tomorrow.

Afif breathed an upset breath.

"But tomorrow, what else are we going to do?"

Afif tried to follow his friend's advice to stay calm.

Rihana stared at the watch in her hand. Two hours to go home.

He resumed his work.

"Rihana," Zerina said making her look up.

"Yes ma'am" he said as he stood up, to make him look polite.

"We had to go overtime until eight o'clock in the night, nih. Tomorrow Mr. Irdi asked us to join a meeting with a client. His client suddenly came from Bangkok," explained Zerina made Rihana silent for a moment. He remembered Alexander's message.

"Eh, yes, Mom."

After that Zerina returned to her room. Apparently he was informing his employees who would attend the meeting one by one.

He also sent a message to Alexander.

I'll be meeting until eight. Just told you about Ms. Zerina. How, huh?

Waiting for a minute, two minutes, there was no response from Alexander.

Even he was struck by Puspa's reprimand.

"Ri, I'm at the meeting. You either?" The girl stood in front of him.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Okay, um, that's it. Later we ask to be picked up at eight aja," he said then went to get a nod Rihana.

Still waiting for Alexander's response that has not yet appeared makes Rihana not calm.

He was afraid that Alexander would not read his message and would still come later tonight.

Rihana finally called him.

But it sounds busy.

Rihana exhaled an annoyed breath.

After waiting fifteen minutes, Rihana again called Alexander.

Connected.

Rihana held her breath as she heard Alexander's voice.

"Hi, Girlfriend."

Unknowingly Rihana smiled.

"Have you read the message?" asked Rihana without replying to Alexander's greeting. He's been very nervous.

"Udah. I called the resto earlier to cancel the reservation" explained Alexander

"Ooo...."

Pantasan was busy, Inner Rihana understood.

"Tomorrow, yeah."

Unknowingly Rihana exhaled.

"Okay, deal," Alexander broke up not to be denied.

"Emm. I'll tell you tomorrow, yeah. Who knows I'm overtime again" said Rihana slowly.

Today is an impromptu overtime, Rihana.

"OKAY. If at this hour you do not call, tomorrow I immediately reseevasi," break up Alexander again.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Zira."

"Yes?"

Silent. Rihana brought her cell phone closer to her

Still connected, his mind was astonished because he thought Alexander had decided

"I'm glad you called first."

Silent.

But not with Rihana's heart. Thumping as if running fast.

"I'm closed, yeah. Mau meetings. Love you." - Love you."

Alexander's call was cut off before the man heard Rihana's reply.

Me too, Inner Rihana late.
