The Broken Ring's
The more Messy

Two days Erick tried to find out the whereabouts of Lalita in various ways, including by looking for information through Lalita's friends whose contact number was given by Bu Risna the other day. But still, the whereabouts of his wife he did not find. Lalita seems to close all access so Erick doesn't find it. His contact number also still can't be contacted Erick.

Erick's feelings became increasingly erratic. Jobs at the hotel are also neglected because of it. Though he and Larisa are scheduled to go out of town to survey the city that will be the location of the latest hotel branch, but it must be delayed because he still has not found the whereabouts of Lalita. Of course Erick makes the condition of his body that is not fit as an excuse so as not to arouse suspicion.

Erick was determined to meet and talk to Lalita first before the first trial was held. But unfortunately, until there is one more day left before the scheduled summons from the Religious Court, Lalita is still not known whereabouts.

"Sir Erick. You okay?" Rima's question, Erick's secretary, broke the man's daydream.

Erick stuttered slightly and hurriedly rubbed his disheveled-looking face.

"I'm okay" he said later.

"Your face is very pale, sir. You seem to be not feeling well" said Rima with a worried tone.

"I'm just kind of sleepy. Please make me some coffee" Erick ordered.

Rima got up from his seat, but he wasn't sure he was going to make Erick coffee. The man clearly seemed to need more medicine than coffee.

"Surely you just want coffee?" ask Rima.

"Yes." Yeah." Erick replied while looking back at his laptop screen.

Inevitably, Rima finally passed to make what Erick asked for. Moments later, the woman returned with a tray containing a cup of coffee and a plate of biscuits.

"Please, Sir." Rima served coffee and biscuits on Erick's desk.

"Thank you." Erick answered.

Rima nodded politely and returned to her desk, while Erick immediately sipped the coffee served by Rima just now. Usually the man will feel refreshed after enjoying the caffeinated drink, no matter how tired and sleepy he is. But this time, warm coffee is not able to make his body become fresh. What is, his stomach even became nauseous.

Ah, Erick just remembered that the last time he had lunch was yesterday, it was because he happened to have to meet a client at a restaurant, so inevitably he must eat with the client.

"Sir Erick. Looks like you're not okay." Rima's voice rang out again in Erick's ear.

Erick wiped away the cold sweat that had suddenly filled his forehead. Now it feels like he will really fall after two days before also not sleeping at all.

"I told you, I'm okay. Just continue with your work." Erick.

Rima was about to answer again, but stopped him from doing so. Erick is the kind of stubborn person who will not easily listen to others. Rima was free to remind about the condition of the man.

"Well, sir," muttered Rima. The woman no longer protested.

Erick himself seemed to close his eyes that felt so tired. Ever since Lalita left, not a second did she get to rest properly at home. All he did was continue to search for Lalita's whereabouts even if the results were nil. I don't know, he's never been this upset before.

Suddenly the entrance to Erick's study was pushed violently, causing a loud enough sound.

"Rise?" Erick was a little surprised when he found Larisa barging into his room with a very bad facial expression.

"Rima, I'd like to talk to Erick alone for a minute. Can you get out first?" Larisa asked Erick's secretary to come out.

Rima, who was still surprised by Larisa's arrival, turned to Erick for approval.

"Leave us both, Rima. Looks like there's something important we need to talk about." Erick told Rima.

"What's wrong?" Erick asked Larisa after Rima came out of her room.

Larisa did not answer. The woman came closer to Erick's desk, took out a piece of paper and put it in front of the man while slightly pounding the table.

"Explain to me, Erick. What'sthis?" ask Larisa.

Erick froze like a statue. A summons for a lawsuit from Lalita, how did Larisa find her?

"Where did you get this?" erick asked as he grabbed the paper and hid it.

"It doesn't matter where I got it? Now explain to me what's going on? You and Lita are getting a divorce?"

Erick took a long breath. Though he wanted to find Lalita first, but it was found out before his wife was found.

"He's the one who's suing the court, not me" Erick said.

Larisa seemed to be breathing out a rough breath. An anxious look was immediately on her face, as if Lalita's divorce suit for Erick was doomsday to her.

"You crazy, Erick? Didn't I tell you before that you should persuade Lita. What did you do until Lita filed for divorce?" ask Larisa emotionally.

"What am I doing? You ask what I'm doing?" Erick was also provoked by his emotions.

"I've told you many times, treat Lita well. If this is the case, we're all done."

"Clearly, Risa. I don't care anymore! Why do you keep blaming me after dictating this and that? Do you think I am a robot? Not only did I lie to Lita and treat her badly, but you and your parents did too. Why did there have to be a show from the beginning? What's going on right now, it's not just my fault, it's all your fault!" Erick finally exploded.

Larisa bought towards Erick with a look of disbelief. Ever since he knew the man, Erick had never before snapped at him like he had just.

"Now where is Lita?" ask Larisa later.

Larisa stopped by her sister's house after meeting with a client, but Lalita was not home. Larisa instead finds a subpoena from the Religious Court for Erick by accident.

"David, Erick. Where is Lita?" repeat Larisa again.

"I don't know." Erick replied in a soft tone.

"What?" Larisa fused her eyebrows together.

"I don't know where he went. He ran away and left a letter from the court for me. I've been trying to find him, but it hasn't worked."

"What do you mean, Erick? Lita went alone and you don't know where she is?" ask Larisa again.

"I told you, he ran away! I don't know where he's going" Erick repeated.

"What did you say, Erick? Lita escaped?" A voice from the doorway of the workspace interjected.

Sontak Erick and Larisa turned towards the source of the sound. They both gasped when they found Arfan was already there with a hardened face.
