Inside the restaurant was Alma who was serving guests in a friendly manner. Most of the guests at the French restaurant were men. College kids hanging out, entrepreneurs who just sit back to coffee, or couples who are on a romantic date.
" Al, I saw that you were driven in a fancy car. Who the hell?" ask Amel kepo
" Hehe, it's just an online taxi" Alma replied while wiping one of the tables at the restaurant.
So they saw Mr. Bryan nganterin me, seriously.
" His time? how did I see the driver was so handsome "Amel smiled in disbelief
" Don't look rich online taxi driver, you guys were just struggling again" said Meli suspicious
" Hehe.it was really an online taxi really, and was struggling a little because the money was less "Alma smiled brightly
Her waiter friend's friend who works at the restaurant seduces Alma, and thinks that Bryan is her lover. But, Alma is grateful that her friends do not recognize Bryan as the CEO of the Aditama group.
Alma only remembered that he was married, when Amel asked for a diamond ring embedded in his ring finger. Alma quibbles that the ring is an imitation ring, and Alma wears her for decoration on her hands only and has no other meaning.
Right, I'm married. For a moment I felt like I was living alone.
Suddenly Alma remembered her grandfather's advice, if Alma was married later, to always be devoted to her husband and obey all her husband's orders. Ask permission to the husband if you want to travel, and everything the wife does must be with permission and pleasure of the husband.
****
Along the way back to the office, Bryan's face looked dull. He was always angry, but this time his anger was excessive. Only this time the talk was denied by a woman, whereas all this time all women always obey what his orders.
" Andre, I know there's something you're hiding. You better tell me now before I know from anyone else "Bryan's sitting in his chair and waiting for Andre to talk.
" I don't understand what you mean"
BRACKET
Bryan kicked down his desk and randomized the paper on the table. Finally the paper was scattered everywhere. Andre was shocked to see the scattered papers. A sign that his duties are multiplying, and that will keep him busy.
Oh, my God, my job is increasing again. How should I clean all this paper. It took a long time to clean it up.
" I don't want to spend my precious time just waiting for you to talk, Andre" Bryan said, staring at the secretary.
How'this? miss Alma, I have to how.
" I count to 3, if I don't talk. Then you will soon die !" bryan is serious
Deg, Andre was getting tense just looking at Bryan's serious face and looking at him sharply.
" There's really nothing going on, president, really "
" One... Two... Ti's..."
" Good good, sir ! I'll say it !" Andre cut Bryan who was counting, finally the secretary was defeated by the power of his president.
I'm sorry Miss Alma, but I promised. But I betrayed instead, this is for the sake of my wife and child. I don't want to be sent to Japan. I hope Miss Alma understands. Andre felt guilty.
" You've finally lost, too, now talk. What happened to the boy before lunch?" bryan asked with a satisfied smile
Secretary Bryan explains what he knows when he searches for Alma on campus and doesn't find her.
Andre searches to Alma's old house, and sees from a distance some large-bodied people smashing things at Alma's house and hitting Alma as well. Bryan was shocked, because Alma experienced it all alone and did not tell anyone.
" What? something this big happened and you just told me? " bryan's voice began to rise
" I'm sorry President, Miss Alma told me to keep her a secret. " Andre is down
" All right, what's important is that you said. But do you know what makes me even more angry?"
" Yes the President? what'sthat?"
" You know it's happening in front of you and you're quiet. "
" Wh-what? that's because.."
The president seems to care about Miss Alma.
Bryan daydreamed and seemed to be thinking about something. Andre, who saw the look on Bryan's face that changed as he daydreamed, began to tense up.
I am not a man without a heart, now he bears my name behind his name. At least she should get treated like the mistress of the Aditama family. Even if it's only 3 years. How could my wife be treated like that by someone else?
" Sir, please don't tell me that I told you this" Andre pleaded
" I don't want him to know any of this either, so I'm gonna pretend I don't. But I have a task for you "
" Ready sir !"
Bryan had Andre call someone suitable to be Alma's bodyguard. And a spy to watch over Alma secretly.
That day Bryan was very busy, basically Bryan was a workaholic person. Everything about work should be perfect, even women's affairs, Bryan's so fucked up.
That night Bryan was coming home from his office, he had already come down from upstairs, along with Andre.
Bryan continued to look at his phone until he did not see the road in front of him, the man looked uneasy as if he was waiting for something. Andre who has a dual role, in addition to being a secretary, he also as Bryan's man when needed in every circumstance that must be ready to standby whenever Bryan needs it.
Several times hp Bryan vibrated, he looked annoyed to see who called him many times that. Because the person who is expected to contact her, never contact her either.
Why didn't he call me too? I gave him a cell phone. Don't tell me he can't use a cell phone either? where possible. Why did the call even these women. Bryan grumbled in his heart.
" Andre, car keys "
Andre immediately handed Bryan's car keys to him.
" Will you come home with me? don't you want me to take it?" ask Andre wonder
" I went home alone, and you came home quickly. Tomorrow there is an important meeting, not to be late" Bryan said firmly
" Well sir, then be careful on the street "Andre bowed politely, then walked away to the front of the office, to look for a taxi or public transportation passing by.
Bryan walked to the car park. The night looked lonely, because all the employees in his office had gone home around 5 pm. And again that day there was no overtime.
" Do I have to call her first? can't a Bryan Aditama call a girl first? usually it's the women who beg me to have their phones picked up by me. But, this boy, he doesn't need me at all. Even his condition was like that he did not ask for help. Is it possible that he is not captivated by me at all? the time is "grunts Bryan annoyed himself
Every woman wants to be around her, whether it's her money, her body or her handsome face. No one could resist her charm, all the women she could easily sleep with. And they left after being paid, like women of the night. But, when he saw Alma who was cold to him, as if he did not care, made Bryan's pride as a playboy man smeared.
Anybody can resist Bryan in terms of money, and face. Bryan felt that he would always win in everything - intelligence, power, money, face - everything was perfect in his life. However, Alma did not notice him at all.
Bryan got into his car, he fell silent for a moment thinking about what he should do with Alma.
" Did I just pick him up at his workplace? no no, it's 9 o'clock. He must have gone home, right ?" bryan muttered while looking at his phone, the man looked hesitant.
Some whispers were heard by him, whether it was heart or mind. The whisper sounded like two different camps were arguing.
Why don't you just ask him? let's call him, and ask him if he's home or not.
No, don't ask Bryan ! if you call him first, you lose. Where is your charm and pride as a female conqueror? when you lose to a boy.
I don't know where the whisper that made Bryan confused was. Finally he chose the second option, not to contact Alma.
Bryan chose to call Laura and ask her brother, whether Alma had gone home or not.
" No, I don't think he's home yet. Are you not the same as him anymore?" ask Laura
What's this? this is Bryan, right? he never cared about women. But now he sounds attentive?. Inner Laura was pleased
" Ma, dong ah !" laura told her mother.
" Yes, if he comes home to tell me. "
Tut
Bryan disconnects his call just like that, he grumbles angrily "It turns out he really came home the night. Damn, why am I so disturbed? I should be having fun with my lady out there. Why is he bothering me so much?! right Bryan, I'm like this because of my responsibility to grandfather and to the inheritance. Not what it means. I'm a handsome prince, can get any woman I want. "
Bryan was so narcissistic that all women would fall in love with him.
Bryan drove his car, left the parking lot. He ignored the woman who contacted him. And drove fast towards Alma's workplace.
🍂🍂🍂
In front of the restaurant, Alma was walking. Like her the girl is finished working and will go home, beside her there is Amel who will also go home.
" You want to wait for public transport, too, Mel?"
" Sure, there's no bus at this hour. It's so malem, we together yuk "take Amel
" Yes, let's "Alma smile
Not far away they walked from the restaurant where they worked, they saw from a distance there were 3 men who staggered towards them.
And strangely that night, the road was very quiet without a single vehicle or a single person passing by. Even though it is only 21:30, it should still be crowded.
" Al, I think this is not really "Amel holding Alma's hand, his body trembling in fear at the sight of 3 men who look drunk.
" I think they're drunk, we're going back again Mel. Back to the restaurant, yuk "take Alma with peace on his face.
The two women turned their bodies, then walked towards the opposite direction to the three men walking towards them.
" Where are you going ? here it is said Abang "one of the men, his voice half screaming.
Alma and Amel ran hand in hand. The three drunken men were apparently still eyeing Alma and Amel. Unfortunately Amel and Alma who had run fast, lost his speed with 3 drunk men.
" Where are you guys going? " ask a man while holding Amel's hand violently.
Seeing her friend being treated like that, Alma did not just shut up. He pushed the man who touched Amel. The man was angry and held Alma's hand. Amel looked around to find help, but there was no one there.
" Both are beautiful, we just brush two of them" said the man 1
" Take me off ! you guys really.." Alma looks upset
" Of course !" amel shouted in panic
" If you want money, just take our money. But let us go " said Alma in a firm and calm tone.
" We don't want money, but your body hahaha"
" The rotten man" muttered Alma irritatedly, then Alma kicked the man's property hard.
BUGH
" Aaaahhhh !! Fuck lo ! " The man groaned in pain and held hers
Alma took Amel's hand and tried to run. But the other two drunk men confronted them. When one of the men is about to hit Alma...
BUCK
BUCK
BUCK
The sound of a fight in front of him, Amel stunned by what he saw. Bryan and several people dressed in black gang up on the three men who were already bothering Alma and Amel.
" Alma look ! really handsome. Is she a model ? or is he an artist? " Amel focused on the handsome Bryan.
Why is Bryan here? and why are there so many people dressed in black here? who're they?
There were many questions on Alma's head as she looked at Bryan and the black-clothed man who suddenly appeared in front of her.
Bryan also beat up one of the drunk men. He broke the drunk man's arm with a single blow.
" If I see you guys again, I'll make sure you're dead "Bryan's looking hard at those three drunk, battered men.
The guts of the three men had shrunk, they ran away. Bryan immediately scolded the 4 people dressed in black and wearing sunglasses.
" You are one minute late, how can you who are already so professional and certified as bodyguards. Can it be so stupid? did I choose you wrong?" asked Bryan cynically
" Pardon us sir, we won't repeat it again" said the 4 men in unison, not forgetting they were bowing in front of Bryan.
" What the hell is this?" alma asked confused by what was happening in front of her
They're bodyguards?
" I told you to stop working there, do you know what time it is? how did a married woman come home last night? do you have to make a hatchet first, so you stop brat?" Bryan looks upset
" Married? Alma are you married?" asked Amel in a stammering tone. Amel was shocked to hear that his friend was married.
" Bryan sir, what the hell is this? " tanya Alma was shocked because suddenly Bryan said he was a married woman
" Do I need to clarify your status, Almahyra Aditama?" bryan asked as he lifted Alma's chin and looked at the girl's face.
What do I have to explain to Amel? he already knows.
Amel was stunned, he was still trying to digest what was happening in front of him. Suddenly a handsome man appeared in front of her, 4 people dressed in black and the fact of the handsome man that his friend was married.
Amel saw that the ring worn by Alma and Bryan, was a similar ring. Could it be a wedding ring? that's how he thinks.
" You're so stubborn "Bryan's holding Alma's hand.
" Are you Alma's husband?" asked Amel to vent
" Yes my husband" answered Bryan firmly
Jesus, Alma married this kind of guy? this guy is no ordinary person either. I'm like he's seen it. Where ya?
" I'm sorry Amel, I'll explain later" Alma told her friend
" Go home !" bryan said with eyes full of anger
" But, my friend.." Alma looked confused at Amel, she could not let her friend go home alone after something like that happened just now.
" You delivered this lady safely to her house !" bryan said to the 4 bodyguards
He still cares about others, but he himself trembles with fear. You brave little boy.
Bryan saw the fear that was in Alma's eyes, even the girl's body could not lie in front of Bryan.
" Good sir president "answer to 4 bodyguards it's compact
Two of the four bodyguards drove Amel. Bryan and Alma were in the same car.
