"Mama don't be sad! Joseph will always be with mom and make you happy!" said the three-year-old boy over that.
"Yusuf knows papa's gone?" cynthia asked her son and her son replied with a nod.
Sontak Cynthia hugged her son tightly, and now it was not she who wept but Joseph, her favorite son.
He let Joseph cry as much as he could, his heart was breaking, his son heard his quarrel with his husband. He hoped that Joseph would understand their situation.
"Yusuf, as long as you know your mother will never leave you no matter what. So we have to be strong and patient no matter what,"
Cynthia loosened her arms and wiped away her son's tears, then Joseph nodded again.
"Well let's go to the room, mama will accompany you to bed baby."
"Good mama!"

Three days after Riana broke off her relationship with Faisal, she avoided meeting Faisal in the office. Even at lunchtime he prefers to eat in his room rather than outside the office as usual.
"Tokay! Geck!"
"Lake in!" riana answered from inside the room.
"Siang Miss Riana! Here's your order food,"
"Hey Vero! Sit down first! It's a break time don't call Mom! I feel like your mom!"
Riana pursed her lips and Vero instead chuckled.
Riana approached a woman named Veronica and invited her to sit on the sofa at her desk.
Veronica has a marketing staff at the company she works for, arguably a team with Faisal the Head of Marketing Division. Actually while in the office, both Riana and Veronica were not too close but because of their accidental meeting at a cafe two days ago, making the two now become familiar.
*Flashback On
Two days ago after work Riana stopped by her cafe to just coffee while checking her work on the laptop. His mind was still unfavorable, Faisal's shadow still had not gone from his brain so he chose to go to the places he wanted to go to to reduce his feelings of sadness.
Ever since he sat down an hour ago, he heard lovers fighting right behind his desk. It appears that the woman cursed and said rudely to her lover, the man did not accept and would slap the woman.
Riana swiftly kept the man's hand away from the woman and pushed him a little tight until he staggered back.
"Hey who are you! Intervene my troubles!" yell that man.
"Mom Riana," the woman muttered slightly in surprise.
"I'm your girlfriend's boss! So don't hurt or touch any of my employees! I could've reported you to the police for any displeasure or mistreatment!" hardik Riana stared intently at the man.
Not without reason Riana defended the woman, she knew if the woman was her sister's employee, Veronica was the best employee among her friends. His ability in the field of marketing is also above average but unfortunately he is difficult to rise in office due to educational constraints, he is only a high school graduate.
Especially since hearing the two quarrel from the beginning he felt Veronica was fateful with him, equally betrayed. So he chose to turn around from his desk to defend the girl.
"Cih.. About the rich playing! Watch out for you guys I'll make the calculations later!" threaten Vero's lover and return Riana's sharp gaze.
"WHAT!" Riana ruffled her waist as if to challenge him, she was undaunted by the menacing threat of that annoying man.
After the departure of Vero's girlfriend, Riana approached Veronica and asked her how she was doing.
"Are you all right, Vero?" ask Riana.
"I'm fine Ms. Riana, thank you for helping me" Veronica said.
"Don't relax, I'm not helping you! Are you in a hurry?"
"No, ma'am, I no longer have any activities at the boarding house."
"Get me to the mall, yeah, I want to go!"
"Okay, Miss Ria, I'm with you!"
"Eh by the way don't be so formal donk! We're out of this office again, we're just talking to the other side" protested Riana.
"But Ma'am.."
"Eh call Riana, not Mom! Can't protest!"
"Good Mom.. Uh Ria,"
"It's donk! I'm glad I finally got a game here, let's walk!" take Riana and hold Vero's hand and leave the cafe.
And in the next few hours they spent the two of their time going to the salon and eating sushi in the mall. Riana is so happy to have a new friend and Veronica is also very happy to be close to the CEO where she works.
Vero did not expect, a beautiful and rich woman like Riana had no friends. Even if Riana wanted to, she could appoint some people to be her best friend. But Riana told Vero that she was not easy to get along with new people, let alone that she was only three months away in the capital.
*Flashback Off
That afternoon Vero and Riana had lunch together in Riana's room by confiding in each other and joking as usual.
"Eh Vero where is your show tonight?" ask Riana.
"I'm going to my high school friend's birthday party, yes it used to be the same thing as me."
"Yeah.. Even though I'm still at home wanting to go for a walk," said Riana uninspiredly.
"Do you want to come with me to my show?" ask Vero.
"Can I come?" Riana asked back with sparkling eyes.
"Yes, I'm coming, I'll pick you up later! I'll take my car,"
"OK ready, Boss! Duhh his smile, I finally get to the party without messy hair again because of the helmet,"
And the two chuckled together and continued their lunch.
***
Evening arrived, Riana had dressed up beautiful by wearing a knee-length black dress made of shiny velvet with white brucat on it, looking beautiful and elegant. He also said that Bu Hana would attend the party with her female friend and that Ms. Hana would allow it.
"Well, my mother's daughter is so beautiful!" puji Bu Hana's.
"Thank you mama!"
Riana kissed Bu Hana's cheek.
"I'll go first mama!" pamit Riana's.
"Dear, be careful on the road and don't come home too late,"
"Good mama!"
Riana went to drive her favorite car to Veronica's room and picked up her new best friend.
After 45 minutes, the two finally reached the night club where Vero's friends had a birthday.
There Vero introduces Riana to her genk first friend when she is in High School, after pleasantries and congratulating her friend. Vero and Riana now sat in front of the bartender to order their drinks.
"Ri.. What do you want to drink?" ask Vero who brought his mouth closer to Riana's ears.
"What's important is that there is no alcohol! Honestly, this is my first time at the club" Riana said honestly.
"I've been able to guess if you're just the first to the club, already tired of your rigid style." Vero chuckles.
"St! Don't open the disgrace!"
They both enjoy the atmosphere of a fun night club, supported by luxurious and stunning interiors and filled with qualified facilities.
Two girls who are heartbroken and looking for entertainment to release their fatigue and sadness, by listening to the beat of music presented by a top DJ. They jogged lightly on their seats, seeing the action of the handsome DJ who was on the stage and dancers se*si who surrounded him.
Riana drank the drink that Vero had ordered for her, it felt a little strange to her, her throat was a little hot. He doesn't know what the drink is but he's sure that Vero won't give him alcohol.
Vero permits Riana to meet some friends on the dance floor because they wave Vero to join the jog, and Riana also allows Vero to leave.
"Miss?"
The bartender called him.
"Yes brother?
"Want another drink? I think it's finished drinking,"
"May, but the non-alcoholic!" riana said to the man and she replied with a nod.
Without Riana noticing she had consumed the 3 glasses of drink that the bartender had offered. His head began to lighten and heavy, his body began to heat unusually. Until someone she knew grabbed her body and took her away.
"Hey who are you?" riana said with a typical drunken tone.
He looked at the face of the man who was touching his body, and when the man returned his gaze, he recognized him.
"Bang Ical! Why are you here?" riana exclaimed in annoyance.
"You're drunk baby, I'll get you home" Faisal whispered to Riana.
"I don't want to leave! I'm not drunk!" Riana rebelled trying to let go of Faisal's hand that gripped her body.
"You're drunk, baby! I'm worried about you, if you go home alone and then harassed people how? Let me take you home" Faisal said.
"I'm the same Vero, not alone!"
"Don't be stubborn, baby! You see Vero was also drunk, where maybe you could go home drunk" Faisal said.
"Take the girl off!" beny shouted suddenly in front of them, he stared intently at Faisal.
Both of them looked at the source of the voice.
"Sister Beny?" riana muttered.
It turns out that Beny was also inside the Club from there with his new girlfriend, his friends and their hired women.
Ever since Riana sat down with Vero she kept paying attention to the girl, she was surprised how a woman like Riana could enter into a place like this. She looks after Riana from afar, she knows if Riana is drunk, she will be an easy target for the wedge men***.
"Who are you?" faisal asked back Beny's sharp gaze.
"I'm Riana's cousin, DON'T TOUCH HER! Or you will deal with Boss Erlangga," Beny threatened and made Faisal release his handhold on Riana.
All of Risty's employees know Erlangga who is successful and famous in business magazines.
Beny immediately grabbed Riana's drunk body and immediately took her away from the club regardless of the fate of her new boyfriend who she had left inside the club.
While Riana only obeyed when brought by Beny, she believed that her sister-in-law's cousin would not do anything.
