Re-meeting
Hearing the Reality

"I didn't think you'd planned this. At first I was afraid that they would just set you up. But it turns out you're the one who set them up. The decision to marry her is part of your plan. I didn't even think of getting there."

David just understood what was done by Raka turned out to be very calculated carefully.

"So you married her just for this ? to find out who the man who told him to ? I admit you're great now." David praised Raka earnestly.

"You're wrong." Raka replied briefly.

"What ..." David just wanted to open his voice, suddenly there was a sound of something outside. The three of them looked at the door. A few moments later the door opened from the outside. Raka, David and Arya wait for who's coming. They looked worried even though they said nothing.

Seeing that Evan had entered, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They had thought that Ririn was coming in and heard what they were talking about. Raka had warned everyone that this matter should be kept secret from his wife.

Raka did not want to charge Ririn with her guilt. Especially until Ririn misunderstands about their marriage and thinks that Raka is not really love but only for a trap.

"So you mean, you're married because you love her." David continued his sentence which was delayed earlier.

"Yes. Youre right. I've been looking for him for ten years. And that's how long I've loved her." Raka explained.

The three men who were there fell silent with their minds each hearing Raka's words. They do not expect if the boss they know so far cold and arrogant turns out to save a deep love and loyalty to a woman.

"Hey ! What are you thinking !" raka's jolt when he saw the three men looking at him strangely made the three surprised and re-awakened from their respective minds.

Inside the room, Ririn stood leaning behind the door. His hand held onto a chest that felt pulsating. Her tears were dripping down her cheeks without being able to stand it. Though as strong as her heart, Ririn held herself back from crying.

Repeatedly Ririn patted her chest firmly to remove her tightness.

You should have kept your heart from loving her far away. You shouldn't feel disappointed because from the beginning this marriage was a punishment for you.

You'd rather live in prison than live with me.

Ririn remembered Raka's words back then. Ririn again beat her chest which felt tight when she heard Raka and David talk in the study room earlier.

After dinner, Raka takes Ririn to her room, and Raka returns to her study. Before closing her eyes, Ririn remembered to talk about Mr. Bagaskara to Raka. Ririn then follows Raka to her study.

Ririn does not know that Arya and David are still in this house because at dinner last Ririn did not see them. So, Ririn thought they had come home.

Slowly Ririn opened the door and inadvertently Ririn listened to David's words. Although it was not Raka herself who said that but that was the reality.

Unable to resist being saddened by the actual reality, Ririn rushed away from there before she was caught, so she bumped into someone behind her.

"Ah, sorry." said Ririn without seeing who she hit and half ran up the stairs leading to her room.
