Prisoner of Love CEO
Chapter 32. Bitterer

...🍁🍁🍁...

Armed with the remaining 5 million in his hands that he obtained from the results of mortgaging the house relics of his grandmother from his father's side. Tisha leaves Ray's house.

Tisha starts looking for a contract far from where she lives with Ray. In addition to thinking about the contract that has not been met, Tisha also thought about how she could explain the divorce to Mr. Faisal so as not to corner Ray.

Even to the end and as heartbroken as she may be, Tisha kept thinking about how Ray would be if he parted from her. The shadow of Zee and Ray's sex video is still recorded in his memory. Sometimes Tisha holds her chest tight, her heart aches when she thinks about the video.

Tisha also found a small contract, located on the second floor. A simple room that can only be occupied by 2 people. Tisha began to tidy up her belongings, her face pale and her eye bags black.

"Why does love have to be this bitter? why are you hurting me like this Raymond?!!" Tisha let out her tears that she had been soaking up when she saw Ray alone and one bed with another woman.

Why when I love you with all my heart? you always hurt me? and now you're crushing me Ray. Her inner voice is screaming in pain.

#FLASHBACKS

A few hours earlier..

At exactly 2:30, Tisha decided to call Gerry. Ask where and how her husband is, because in contact dozens of times Ray did not answer him.

Gerry quickly comes to Ray's house, on a cold day in makeshift clothes. Just wrapped in a warm jacket.

"Assalamualaikum madam" said Gerry who was standing at the door of Ray's house. He sees Tisha who looks anxious and confused

"Waalaikum greetings, the secretary pardon me. I was forced to call my father, early morning like this and disturb your sleep" said Tisha felt bad for Gerry.

"I understand madam, the madam did this out of worry and anxiety to the President. It's okay madam, there's no need to feel bad for me" Gerry explained with a friendly smile

"Once again forgive me, secretary, I don't know who else to contact. But, even though Ray always comes home late. He never came home except to the big house. Well, I've called the guy in the big house, they say Ray's brother is not there" explained Tisha restless and agitated at the thought of her husband.

He left in a state of anger, what if something happened to him? what if he's speeding and an accident on the road? Nah! no way! let's think positive Tisha, positive!. Tisha slapped her own heart from the negative feelings that were in her heart.

Gerry could see the unrest, as well as the worry on Tisha's face on her husband. Gerry proposes to find Ray to places Ray frequents at night. That's where he gathers with his friends.

"Let me take the mistress to a place that may be visited by the President" Gerry asked

Tisha realized that leaving with another man besides her husband in the early hours of the day was not good. But circumstances give him no choice, Ray's safety is more important than anything else.

"Thank you, Gerry" Tisha got into Gerry's car with Gerry

In the early hours of the cold day he stabbed the bone. Tisha and Gerry search for Ray to a place where Ray might be. No time passed and the day began to morning. It's been four places they've been, but there's no trace of Ray there.

Feeling bad for Gerry who has to accompany him on holidays, Tisha decides to look for Ray alone. However, Gerry also could not bear to see Tisha who was tired and almost overnight did not sleep because she was looking for her husband.

"Sir Gerry just go home, I'm okay if you have to find Ray's brother alone, wife and son of Mr. Gerry must worry about Mr. Gerry" The girl felt uncomfortable because Gerry helped him find

"No madam, I will accompany the madam to find the President. Madam take it easy, I've contacted my wife. They don't mind" Gerry explained

Too bad, Miss Tisha, look at those thick eye bags. He must not have slept all night looking for the President. Where is the president actually? pity your wife sir. Gerry also felt sad to see Tisha who had been pouting, frowning anxiously.

"Thank you Gerry for his help" replied Tisha whose heart was still agitated

Tisha and Gerry search the hospital and even the police station, fearing something will happen to Ray that they do not know. However, no information about Ray was found there. Tisha and Gerry are relieved that Ray might stay at one of his friends' houses and be fine.

"Madam, I just remembered that Mr. Samuel's house we haven't been to. Who knows if he knows where the President is?!" Gerry smiled remembering Sam

"Yes, the secretary is right too, let's go there! mr. Gerry know where the house is?" tisha asked who started smiling

"Yes I know, I once drove the President there once" replied Gerry

You're lucky, Mr. President, to have a beautiful wife and Sholehah like Ms. Tisha. Women like Miss Tisha are very rare. Gerry feels his President is very lucky, with his bad temper and cold, Ray can marry Tisha who is warm, cheerful like the sun.

I hope Ray is there and okay. I did not calm down because she left in a state of anger last night, after making sure that she was okay this heart would calm down, her inner being that wished her husband well

Gerry escorts Tisha to Sam's house, which is a good distance from Ray's. A few minutes later they arrived in front of a luxurious house, painted white. Tisha immediately rang the bell, although she hesitated and was afraid of being scolded for disturbing people early in the morning like this.

Tong! Tong!

🎶🎶

"Oh, who the hell came this early in the morning??!" sam grumbled as he opened the door of his house in annoyance

HORN

"Assalamualaikum. sorry to bother" said Tisha felt bad for Sam.

"Wa-waalaikumsalam." replied Sam rather dumbly

Sam was surprised to see his best friend's wife was already in front of him. A woman came out and approached Sam near the door.

Ray's wife why are you here? same with Gerry, too?

"Darling, who's up?" she asked, holding Sam's hand. Then the woman looked at Tisha cynically

"I'm sorry to bother you this early in the morning" Tisha felt increasingly uneasy with the cynical look of the woman next to Sam, perhaps she misunderstood him.

"Honey, this is Ray's wife" Sam told his wife

"Oh yeah? why did he come here so early in the morning?" asked the woman did not welcome the presence of Tisha with her jealous eyes she looked at Tisha.

"Mom, please don't misunderstand me. We're here to ask Mr. Sam where Mr. Ray is" Gerry explained, helping Tisha speak

Looking at Tisha who looks tired with a trembling body. Sam's wife feels sorry for him, so he invites Tisha and Gerry to enter first. However, Tisha refuses as she must immediately find her husband.

"Thank you for the offer ma'am, but I can't linger. I have to look for Ray's sister" Tisha replied as she held onto her body which was getting cold, without a jacket on her body.

"Get in, just a minute. I felt bad that I was being disrespectful to you, just go in for a moment, just consider this my apology," persuaded Sam's wife while holding Tisha's cold hand.

What a pity on him, Ray, what the hell? a good and beautiful wife is left to suffer. Sam's inner wife is upset at Ray who has let Tisha have trouble finding her. He looked at Tisha with pity.

Tisha and Gerry enter the house which is only inhabited by 3 people. Sam introduced his wife named Grace, they have been married for 5 years and also have a daughter named Milena.

"Sit here for a minute, I prepare a warm drink first. Do you like tea? mr Gerry, coffee?" grace asked kindly and warmly to Gerry and Tisha

"I-iya ma'am, thank me for tea. And Mr. Gerry likes his bitter coffee" replied Tisha

Tisha had wanted to reject Grace's kindness, but she felt bad for Gerry who had accompanied her and had not rested or drank anything.

"Wait a minute now"

Grace steps into her kitchen to serve tea and coffee to Tisha and Gerry.

While waiting for Grace to serve a drink, Tisha asks Sam if the man knows where her husband is. Sam explains that he did go out for drinks at the cafe with Ray and one of his friends with Andrews. But Sam came first because his wife, Grace, called him.

"So when Mr Sam came home, brother Ray was with his friend named Mr Andrew?" ask Tisha

"Yes, but he's also with..."

Sam hesitates to continue his words, if Ray is also there with Zee. Sam is afraid that his words could cause problems for Ray and Tisha's relationship.

Zee wouldn't do anything like Ray, would he? there's no way he can't be fucked. They can't be together, Ray must be the same Andrew. Inner Sam feels anxious that Ray is with Zee

"Whose brother is Ray with? please tell me, because I'm worried" Tisha persuaded Sam to tell her the truth

"In addition to being with Andrew, he was also with Zefanya there" Sam replied honestly

DEG!

Tisha's eyes were round, revealing that she was shocked and anxious. Tisha, who had been shocked, returned to maintain her calm outside. However, his movements showed that he was not calm. Tisha plays her finger, which is what she used to do if she was anxious and restless. Gerry also looked worried looking at Tisha who was suddenly silent.

"W-can Sam help me to contact Mr Andrew?" tanya Tisha tried to calm her heart

"Yes, I'll call him right now. You wait a minute" said Sam as he moved from his seat and stepped into his room to pick up his phone on the charger

The sound of the dawn adhan began to sound shahdu reverberating up to Sam's house.

Allahuakbar...

It's dawn, is brother Ray okay? is he with Zefanya or Mr Andrew?

Grace came with a tray of 2 cups of drinking water, one tea and the other bitter coffee.

"This, please drink first" said Grace kindly

"Sorry Miss Grace, may I pray here?" ask Tisha carefully

"You can" replied Grace

Geez Ray you're a fool, a wife this good you're a waste, right?

Inner Grace is sad to see Tisha whom she hears from Sam, if she is always treated coldly by Ray. Grace is Ray's friend just like Sam, her husband. He knows in general how Ray behaves coldly in women and those around him, except for Zee when they are still dating.

Tisha began to take ablution water, although in a state of uneasiness. Tisha never once forgot her obligation to her Lord to always pray and worship. Tisha always prays on time, although not always on time for various reasons.

Grace, Sam, and Gerry look up at Tisha praying in one of the rooms in the house. Grace, Sam and Gerry also follow Tisha for prayer. They are ashamed to see Tisha who is in a state of restlessness, not forgetting her obligation to Allah SWT. But, they always forgot about his obligations.

After completing his obligation and ending with prayer. Tisha has gotten an answer from Sam about her husband's whereabouts.

"Sorry Tisha, Andrew said that Zee took Ray away. Like Zee brought Ray to his apartment" explained Sam who had contacted Andrew

Tisha's heart pounded again for the umpteenth time. Tisha tries to calm herself down and tries to think positively.

"Sir Sam, can you tell me where Ms Zefanya's apartment address is?" tisha asked while biting the bottom of her lips

Why are you with him? what were you guys doing all night?. Tisha's mind was about to cry, the thought that was once positive now began to turn to negative thoughts.

"Yes, I love you, wait" said Sam, looking for a small piece of paper and a ballpoint pen in his desk drawer.

"Tisha, are you okay?" grace asked as she held onto both of Tisha's shoulders, Grace could feel the girl's body trembling. Grace lends Tisha her jacket.

"I'm fine, Miss Grace" replied Tisha, forcing her smile on Grace.

Ray, you fool! if you really lose her after today. If you really pick a pile of junk and lose diamonds. You're a stupid man! Grace curses Ray in her heart, when she hears that Ray was with Zee all night in her apartment.

"You can call me brother, no papa" Grace smiled kindly while calming Tisha whose face was starting to get gloomy

"Yes big sister" Tisha replied sadly

Sam gives Tisha the address of Zee's apartment. Tisha and Gerry say goodbye, they rush to Zee's apartment. Grace and Sam request that Gerry look after Tisha during the trip. Before Tisha leaves, Grace asks Tisha to keep her number, just in case Tisha needs her help.

***

It took a while for Tisha and Gerry to get to Zee's apartment. Because the apartment is quite far away, from North to South Jakarta.

They were in front of Zee's apartment. With a thumping heart, Tisha rang the bell of the luxury apartment.

🎵🎵

Tong! Tong!

LECHEROUSLY

Tisha and Zee face the door. Zee's circumstances and appearance at that time made Tisha and Gerry stunned.
