Ivan glued to his desk facing his laptop opened the family photos that Yoga managed to get by hacking security belonging to Ariq. It took longer as Yoga attempted to hack the high level of security the Ariq IT team had created in protecting the privacy of their extended family. A smile rises on his face when he sees a picture of Khaira as a baby until he grows up, as well as a photo of his engagement and Abbas which is still intact in the family photo gallery owned by Ariq.
The bruise and blueness still decorate her handsome face. He waited two days for news from Ariq. He kept asking Hari to monitor Khaira's movements. Unbeknownst to Ariq and his other brothers, Ivan and Hari follow them to the airport and observe from a distance during the departure of Ariq and Fatih until their arrival with the group using a private jet.
The day that was in the waiting room of Ariq's office was surprised to see Ivan come out of the room in the figure of a young man who looked like Rara. The curiosity to laugh and concerned to see the face of his boss who was bruised and swollen with blood still flowing in the corner of the lips made Hari immediately approached his boss. Fortunately it was still working hours, so not many saw the incident.
Without much asking Hari followed Ivan's instructions to follow to the airport to see Ariq's departure. During the few hours waiting, Hari was busy with Ivan to immediately contact Rendi and ask her to come with medical equipment to treat wounds on the area of his face.
“You've been beaten up by someone's husband huh?” Rendi bobble-bracelet head as soon as entering Ivan's car which is still parked in the VIP room of Halim airport, “Troubt it.”
“Whatever you say,” Ivan lazily responded to the words of Rendi.
His eyes remained fixed on the few private jets that started landing moments later. But he had not seen Ariq and the figure he was waiting for his arrival.
“Other times if you want to find a single partner, let's not bonyok like gini,” said Rendi while packing the medical equipment he brought.
It felt like Rendi wanted to laugh at Ivan's situation, but she was afraid of karma, now she was laughing, maybe that she received tomorrow more than the state of her master's son. If Ivan had not called, he would not have left the hospital. But how else, he is a family doctor who has served since Ivan's parents were still alive, because Hartanto was the one who had financed his school to completion and carried the profession as a doctor.
Up to three hours later his eyes shone brightly when he saw the group he was waiting for had landed. He saw Ariq holding Khaira who looked limp and pale from a distance. I want Ivan to run and hold the figure of a future woman who is pregnant with her child, so that nothing happens to the two. But he mash had to wait, and he was sure Ariq would keep his promise.
Roni entered Ivan's room and saw his boss' bluish, bruised face almost all over his face. It was only today that he saw Ivan enter the office. Two days ago Ivan asked for a Day that delivered all the reports that had to be signed directly to his apartment.
Roni felt surprised, not usually their boss lazy to the office unless there is a business trip out of town or abroad. He only shook his head when he heard Hari's story that his boss was in such a state of disrepair that he did not come to the office and work from home. He wanted to laugh at Hari's reason.
“Emang boss sick what?” roni's kepo soul made him follow the steps of Hari who cleared the report he had sorted with Gisel to take Hari to Ivan's apartment.
“Bos heartache,” Days reply origin.
“Ha, who has hurt the boss?” Roni couldn't believe just hearing Hari's answer, “During all these years of working with boss Ivan only this time I heard him hurt. What's contagious?”
The day of the head bobble saw Roni's behavior. It is fitting that Ivan never involved Roni in his asthma problems. Roni is too naive, can not be invited to have fun. Indeed jebolan hut her man, and still lack experience of women's affairs.
“Wait for the next news. Soon we'll take care of the boss's wedding. Prepare yourself to arrive at the boss's historic day,” Days pass quickly, not wanting to be crammed with Roni's questions that make him dizzy. He must quickly escape from Roni's unqualified questions.
Roni stopped following Day's steps further away. He began to wonder since when Ivan began to get close again to a woman. What he saw, since parting with Sandra, was no longer heard the closeness of Ivan with anyone. He shook his head in disbelief at Hari's last sentence saying that their boss was getting married.
Now he stood in front of Ivan who was sitting seriously facing his laptop. Ivan is unaware of Roni's presence due to the focus on looking at the adorable childhood photos of Khaira. He was satisfied with Yoga work, having found what he was looking for. He was really surprised to realize how much he had underestimated Khaira's life from the start.
A smile rises on Ivan's face looking at a picture of Khaira while his body is still contained, so he once prejudiced that Abbas had impregnated his fiancee during a lightning marriage between them. It turns out that in the family gallery owned by Ariq many photos of Khaira selfies with various poses with her twin Fatih. And now Ivan realizes that Khaira does have a natural beauty with her clear eyes that makes anyone get swept away when looking at her.
“I'm sorry Bas, for taking something that isn't mine. But I promise to make Rara happy,” Ivan vowed in heart.
“Serious once boss,” greeting Roni makes Ivan quickly close his laptop.
He is not ready to tell Roni that he has fallen in love and will soon be editing Rara. He did not know how Roni responded when he learned that he would soon marry the widow of Abbas, a woman he had underestimated from the beginning and now even had her child.
Now Roni can see the face of his boss clearly. He was surprised to see Ivan's normally clean, smooth face now look bluish bruised. He shook his head in disbelief at what he saw. It has been almost 10 years he followed Ivan only this time he saw a different view of Ivan's handsome face.
“What boss will get married soon?” Roni immediately asked the unexpected thing Ivan.
“What else did Day say?” Ivan even reversed Roni's question,
He wanted to see Roni's reaction to knowing the truth between him and the widow of the late Abbas, perhaps now was the right time to acknowledge everything. And he is ready to face condemnation and whatever Roni will say.
“Bos has found a replacement for Sandra turns out,” sounds a tone of ridicule in Roni's speech, “I think there is no perfect woman other than Kassandra Wiguna. I wonder what kind of woman can conquer Ceo New Star Corp?”
Ivan could see the sneer of Roni's words. This one assistant did not hesitate to say hello to him. But Ivan never offended, because he already knew the nature of Roni who always reminded him of kindness, as well as the late Abbas. Both were friends of heaven to Ivan.
Khaira realized, it could not be forever he kept the secret itself. And he believes Hasya is the most appropriate person to share a story that he will always remember for the rest of his life.
Hasya had earplugs from the beginning as soon as Khaira took her to the back garden because she wanted to tell her something. He looked at Khaira's face that looked gloomy even though he still had a faint smile when he invited Babby A to communicate.
Seeing that Khaira had no signs of starting the conversation, Hasya became impatient. He took Babby A from Khaira's lap and asked Diah the babby sitter to bring Babby A to bed.
“Mbak curious, since when do you know Ivan?” Hasya immediately asked as they stayed in the park that looked shady in that quiet afternoon, “Because from the story of Ariq he was his friend deceased …. “
Khaira sighed for a moment. He recalled Abbas's story of accepting a job offer after his father died. Khaira also recounted the incident without reducing a single one to Hasya.
“Did you often meet Ivan during your contact with Abbas?” Hasya kept chasing after him.
Khaira shook her head quickly. He never met in person. He knew Ivan's figure only from Abbas's story, especially he rarely went to the cafe, because he began to learn the management of Kara Jewellery outlets with oma Marisa. He and Abbas were only connected through social media, as Abbas limited himself to meeting each other.
Indeed Ivan often visited the cafe, but they did not want to meet face to face. Because Ivan's visit was solely to meet Abbas and again Ivan was a busy man who never cared for anyone with whom he had no working relationship.
“So you never talk and introduce each other?”
Again Khaira shook her head. As he remembered, he never met face to face let alone engage in talks with Ivan while Abbas was still alive.
“Aneh …. “ Hasya satin, “Never speak, but can impregnate Rara.”
Hasya was busy with the preconceptions that occurred between Ivan and Khaira to cause her sister to become pregnant.
“Do you know he's a famous businessman?”
“Tau,” replied Khaira lightly, “Aa Abbas will always tell you about his boss who has a lover of the famous model.”
Hasya shook her head in disbelief. How could Ivan already have a lover, but impregnate another woman. What are the consequences of wrong rooms such as in the soap opera flying fish or romance picisan that he used to read often?
“Mbak sure Ivan made a determination on you for something. Do you know what happened between you and Ivan?”
Khaira fell silent, inevitably forced to admit everything. It was hard for him to tell her the beginning of his meeting with Ivan, but if not now when else he could be frank with Hasya.
Finally Khaira recounted the beginning of the meeting and the first conversation that took place between her and Ivan in the cafe, all of which were not missed. Khaira's resentment over Ivan's arrogant and haughty nature looked down on those who were not equal to them, until Ivan's accusatory and degrading words made Khaira lose sympathy with the figure of Abbas' late friend.
Stammered and began to sob with the dark events of the night Khaira began to tell everything that made her feel devastated and humiliated. How he went through that cursed night and tried to rise from the rubble of destruction to stay strong. He remembered the faces of his brothers and closest people who always supported him, until the reason he went abroad.
Hasya was stunned to hear Khaira's tearful confession telling a dark story she wanted to forget. He hugged his sister with a variety of feelings that he was difficult to describe. He knew how hard the calamity Khaira faced, maybe if he himself was in the same situation, not necessarily he was able to live it. Living the status of a widow just after an hour of marriage, and now being abused to conceive is tragic and heartbreaking.
After a moment of silence with his thoughts still raging, Hasya finally began to let go of his embrace of Khaira. He looked at his sister closely.
“Now what do you want to do?” Hasya asked attentively.
Khaira wiped away the remaining tears that still piled in the corner of the eye with the tip of her hijab. A feeling of relief began to cloud his feelings. Frankly speaking, Hasya made some of the heavy burden that he was carrying begin to lift, especially he was not alone. All brothers are now protectors and will accompany him through the days to come.
“Whatever the family decides I will obey. Because I realized, I'm not alone. Thank you for understanding my condition.” Khaira sighed after spilling all of her heart on Hasya. And he was very lucky to have a brother who was very attentive even when he was down and feeling alone.
“How could we let our beloved sister slump by herself. Can rise the deceased papa from his grave if that happens,” Hasya trying to make Khaira smile with his dime joke.
Enjoy the holidays. Dear all of you who have always been faithful in supporting Khaira and Ivan. Do not forget Vote, criticism, suggestions and likes for the sustainability of the world. Love love love muachhhh .......
