PAST VIDEO SCANDALS
A Hiding Place for Indira

Indhira stared at Bagas who lightly mentioned that he had transferred a fantastic amount of money, just to hold their simple wedding thanksgiving. Indhira did not doubt the finasial of the Bagas extended family. However, for him the value mentioned by Bagas earlier was too excessive in number.

" One hundred million, Bagas?" Lidya's mother was stunned because she received such a large amount of money. When he married his son only he gave only thirty million to his daughter-in-law's family for the sibling of Rissa. While marrying Rissa, Adam gave up the kitchen money worth twenty-five million. But he can hold his son's wedding festively, because the family made by his first child also adds money to hold a reception, as well as at the wedding of Rissa, the first child, she and her husband also spent money as the bride. But now, just holding a small study and a simple thanksgiving, Bagas gave up a large enough money, even to hold a reception in the building. Moreover Bagas said if it was less, the man would increase the number.

" Is that not too big, Bagas?" Mr. Edwin also responded to the nominal sent by Bagas.

" How much is it supposed to be, Om, Auntie? I don't know. Aunty better hold it first, I'm afraid it's lacking. Later I ask Aunty for help to buy the equipment Indhira needs for a future contract." Bagas does not know how much the cost is needed, so he said if the value he transfers is still in a reasonable amount. He left hundreds of millions of dollars like giving money worth one or two millions to Mother Lidya.

" This amount you can use to hold a wedding reception in the building, you know, Bagas!" Lidya's mother then said if the amount transferred by Bagas, can be used to rent a building to carry out the wedding reception.

Bagas then turned his head towards Indhira who had been focusing his eyes on him ever since. It seems like Indhira is still stunned by the nominal mentioned by Bagas earlier.

" You want a reception in the building, Ra?" Bagas asked Indhira if he would agree to a wedding reception in the building.

" Huhh? Hmmm, n-no, I don't want to!" Realizing that he was pensive now Indhira gasped. And of course he refused to hold a wedding reception in the building as asked by Bagas earlier.

" Indhira objected to having a reception in the building, Auntie. So, just like Auntie had planned to do, have a big thanksgiving here." Bagas chose to give thanks at Rissa's house after returning from the agreement in KUA later.

" Yes already then. Later Aunty-kun to Indhira only, yes!?" Ibu Lidya is sure that the amount transferred by Bagas will be a lot left

" No, Auntie!" Indhira quickly refused the money given by Bagas to Ms. Lidya earlier. He was not good at receiving the money. Bagas had given to Mother Lidya, she was sure that Bagas also did not want to take her extra money later.

" No need, Auntie. Let Aunt hold the money. After all, Indhira has been troublesome Auntie here." Given that Indhira has been hitchhiking in the house of Mr. Edwin and Ms. Lidya, Bagas certainly did not feel good to have to be calculating with people who have been kind enough to help Indhira so far.

" We are here to help Indhira, Bagas. Moreover, here also Indhira does not stand still. She does her homework without being asked. He's also petrified Auntie taking care of Auntie's sister, Sandra. Where might Auntie feel bothered by the presence of Indhira here. The aunt is even happy that someone helped Auntie." Ms. Lidya said that the presence of Indhira in her house helped her a little.

" I'm happy, all this time Om, Aunt and Aunt Sandra are taking good care of Indhira. May the kindness of Om and Aunt and family be reciprocated by Allah SWT." No longer knowing how to express his gratitude, Bagas could only pray for the best for Rissa's parents who had helped Indhira all along.

" Amijn ..." Indhira and the others also made a prayer that was thrown from the mouth of Bagas earlier.

" Hmmm, Om, Auntie, I'd like to have a one-on-one talk with Om. Can it?" Bagas felt the need to discuss his parents with Mr. Edwin. She deliberately wanted to talk to Indhira so that she would not worry, especially to change her attitude to marry him.

" What's up, Bagas?" ask Mr. Edwin astonished.

" Why don't you just talk here, Bagas?" Lidya's mother protested, because Bagas was hiding something she should not hear and know.

" It's a man's business, really, Auntie." Unpleasant to be accused of wanting to cover up something from Ms. Lidya, Bagas said that what he wanted to say to Edwin was a men's privacy affair.

" Oh yeah, then we'll just talk on the balcony." Mr. Edwin then invited Bagas to speak on the balcony terrace of his house. While Indhira say goodbye to clean his body first to Mother Lidya.

" What do you really want to say, Bagas?" asked Mr. Edwin was curious about what Bagas wanted to say to him after the two of them got to the balcony.

" About my parents, Om. They were actually against my marriage to Indhira" Bagas said in a disappointed tone.

Mr. Edwin took a slow breath, actually he had guessed by the words of Bagas who wanted to get married without a reception. For a wealthy family, of course, the wedding reception is an important moment for them to hold.

" But I still want to marry Indhira, Om. Whatever my parents' reaction, I stick to my stance!" bagas' determination is round.

Mr. Edwin realized, if Bagas now has the right to make his own decisions without pressure from his parents. But, he was afraid that this would affect Indhira.

" What about Indhira, Bagas? Did the opposition from your parents not disturb Indhira's calm?" asked Mr. Edwin to express his concern for Indhira.

" That's what I'm worried about, Om. At the moment there is my Papa's man who is tasked with overseeing my movements. I don't want them to know Indhira's whereabouts here, Om." Bagas told her what was happening to her.

" So, did that guy follow you all the way here?" Mr. Edwin was increasingly made anxious, he even circulated the front view of his house looking for if there was anything suspicious there.

" No, Om. I came out of the undercover office and didn't use my car to keep that person from knowing my departure." Bagas tells if he had to disguise himself as an office boy officer.

" Athaghfirullahal adzim ... to his side, Bagas?" Mr. Edwin shook his head in disbelief with the recklessness of Bagas.

" If it's not like that, I can't get out safely, Om." Bagas laughed a little considering his ridiculous behavior earlier.

" What's your next plan?" Mr. Edwin again asked Bagas seriously.

" I've discussed with Mr. Raffasya about this, Om. And most likely, I will evacuate Indhira from here until the wedding day arrives. I don't want any of my Papa or Papa's men to come to this house and label Indhira's shelf, Om." Bagas explained his plan and asked Mr. Edwin for permission to take Indhira to a safe place.

While at the residence of Raffasya ...

" Did Indhira talk to Mama?" asked Raffasya to pull out a blanket after performing Islamic prayers with his wife.

" Indhira's? What's the talk, Pa?" azkia asked with her hands dabbing the night cream onto her face.

" Not a meaningful story yet, huh?" ask Raffasya back.

" What, anyway, Pa? Just be curious!" Azkia turned her body. She then walked towards the bathroom to clean her hands first then joined her husband who was sitting leaning against his soft headbord spring bed.

" Bagas came to my place this afternoon ...."

" Bagas? Jesus .... What's he going to do there? If you don't come to my shop, you come to Papa's. I'm really unemployed CEO of that one!" Azkia rolled her eyes in response to the story about Bagas who came to Raffasya's office, until she considered that Bagas was like a CEO who had no job, but he was not, who was busy visiting a place that had nothing to do with Bagas's company.

While Raffasya actually chuckled at the response of the wife who cursed Bagas like that.

" Be careful, Ma! Even though Mama said like the CEO of unemployment, he has a lot of wealth, you know! Papa is nothing compared to him." Raffasya compares himself to Bagas.

" Don't pick up Papa and him, dong, Pa! Distant, you know!! Despite having the same case, at least Papa is independent, not driven by Papa's parents! While her? Just want to follow his parents when obviously his parents are wrong!" Azkia immediately protested because her husband compared Raffasya to Bagas.

" Oh yeah, don't remember what you used to. Let's just see now. At least, now Bagas is willing to take responsibility to Indhira, Ma. He even wants to marry Indhira next week." Raffasya conveyed what Bagas said this afternoon in his office.

" What, Pa? Bagas and Indhira are getting married next week?" Azkia was shocked to learn the information conveyed by her husband.

" Yes that's what Bagas said earlier" replied Raffasya.

" Kok, Indhira doesn't say anything to me, Pa?" ask Azkia astonished. According to him, Indhira should have spoken to him as well, because currently Indhira is his personal assistant.

" You know for yourself Indhira is the one, right, Ma!? There he was afraid first, not yet anything, must have been romantically with Mama. How dare Indhira face this chatty Mama." Raffasya ended his sentence with a small laugh.

" Cn ..." Azkia rolled her eyeballs while tilting her lips to hear her husband call it chatty.

" Oh yeah, by the way, are Bagas' parents able to accept Indhira, Pa?" ask Azkia later. Of course this is an interesting question that is very much awaited answer.

Raffasya put the remote on the nightstand then fixed his sitting position before answering Azkia's question.

" Sadly Bagas' parents were still unable to accept Bagas' plan to marry Indhira." Raffasya explained the attitude of Bagas' parents on Bagas' wedding plan with Indhira.

" This is what I'm worried about, Pa. I'm afraid that Bagas' parents can't accept Indhira, they will accuse Indhira matre, they want Bagas' property!" Azkia was certainly worried if Adibrata would intimidate Indhira.

" It's not just that, Ma." Raffasya had not had time to tell Azkia if Bagas had previously been engaged.

" What else is it, Pa?" Azkia felt that there was something that her husband wanted to say.

" Before meeting Indhira yesterday, Bagas was already engaged to his Papa friend's son." Raffasya unlocks Bagas' secret which Bagas only tells him.

" Huhh, what??" Azkia gasped at the shocking news from her husband. " Bagas is engaged?? That's so damn rude of people! Already engaged still want to marry Indhira!" furious Azkia, because he thought Bagas would only serve Indhira only.

" Ma, calm down! Don't get so emotional!" Raffasya tried to calm the wife who was provoked by emotions and judge Bagas.

" Papa why do you keep defending that guy, anyway? It was obvious that he was wrong, still defended!" Seeing her husband still defending Bagas, Azkia protested loudly Raffasya.

" It's not so, Ma. You better listen to Papa's explanation. Bumil don't be so angry, dong!" Raffasya stroked the stomach of the wife who was still not too distended.

A few days ago, Bagas came to the cafe, he told Papa about his engagement to the son of his Papa friend. He did not dare to say that to Indhira, because he was afraid that Indhira would refuse to return to him if Indhira knew that Bagas was engaged. Though the purpose of Bagas all this time is to find Indhira and return to Indhira." Raffasya began to explain the real problem that happened to Bagas.

" If she wants Indhira, why is she even engaged to another woman? If I were Indhira, I would be so happy to turn him back! Later even called the actor again!" Azkia raised her head..

" As long as the yellow janur has not curved, there is still a chance to overtake, Ma." Raffasya grinned, because he also got Azkia when Azkia was affectionate with Gibran, who is currently even a sister-in-law herself.

Azkia glanced at her husband and said, "Experience, huh?"

" Yes, dong!" sahut Raffasya with a proud tone.

" How was Bagas' story? She's already engaged but wants to marry Indhira, then where does her fiance want to be put?" Azkia was still curious about Bagas' engagement.

" When Bagas came to the cafe, permission to go to New York to meet his fiancee's family to complete their engagement." Raffasya started to tell stories.

" then?"

" The former fiancee and her family can be heartened to accept Bagas' decision." As heard from Bagas' story, Raffasya conveys what he knows.

" That easy?" Azkia did not believe Bagas had seamlessly severed his engagement.

" It was because the thought of his ex-fiance's family was open, for what to continue the engagement if Bagas himself could not give his love to their child. An old man who is wise and dear to his son will surely choose the happiness of his son more than anything." From the case that befell Bagas and his fiancee, of course Raffasya can take important lessons about the attitude of parents to his children.

" What we are worried about right now is the pressure that Bagas' parents will put on Indhira. Right now Bagas is being followed by his Papa's man. This is very dangerous if until the person knows about the existence of Indhira. Bagas intended to hide Indhira in a safe place, just in case not to let the house of Adam's in-laws be visited by the parents of Bagas' men." Raffasya looked at Azkia. " You know what I mean, right?" tanyanya.

" Should anyone dare to oppose Bagas' parents?" Azkia could understand what Raffasya meant.

" Yes, there must be people who dare to break the arguments of Bagas' parents" said Raffasya.

" Whose Papa thinks?" ask Azkia.

" I wanted to have Indhira stay here for a while. Papa thinks we can be a shield for Indhira. But, since there are many children and Mama is also pregnant, Papa cancels the plan. And Papa thought about leaving Indhira at Papa's parents' place. What do you think Mama is?" Raffasya mentioned the place he recommended to be Indhira's hideout..

" At Papa Fariz's and Mama Lusi's house?" ask Azkia.

" Yes, there was quieter and no small children. You agree not?" Raffasya asks Azkia for her opinion.

" Agreed, Pa! I totally agree, let Bagas' parents feel Mama Lusi's spicy mouth." Azkia quickly agreed to her husband's proposal.
