The Devil Husband's
CHAPTER 53. WRONG MAN
"What?! How can? Did Tiger do any more violence to Jihan?" ask Leon on the other end of the phone.
"No, Mister. But, after his mother died, his emotions were very unstable. He always overthinks things that are not necessarily happening. Including, Mrs Khansa who will take the baby later," Rico explained.
There was a rough breath from across. Rico still put his ears on nicely to receive his next order. Already going this far, of course he would not dare to go back to Tiger. Except for Leon's request.
"Mmm ... stay with Jihan. Provide decent facilities and also make sure all his needs or desires are met. If something is lacking, just say it," Leon said.
"Good, Sir. Then, do I have to tell Master Tiger? Honestly, I'm afraid, sir. My HP was dumped in the river by Mrs Jihan. I also don't memorize Mr. Tiger's number. It's a new buy and a log in with a different identity" I'm Rico honestly, scratching his non-itchy head.
"No! Let Jihan calm down first. I know how she feels. Because Khansa had experienced it, although in a different way. Yet they both lost. It took me a while to cure it. Most importantly, let them be aware of each other's feelings" Leon explained. "Oh yeah, one more. For your safety, coordinate with Gerry's assistant!"
"Good, Sir. Thank you very much. Sorry to interrupt" Rico ended his call.
With a quick movement Jihan closed the window pane she had opened since Rico came out. His chest ticked many times over after hearing Rico's words. Even though he didn't hear what Leon said. But hearing Leon's name, it freaked him out. He did not expect that Rico was Leon's subordinate.
'What should I do? It turned out that I believed the wrong person, ' he murmured inwardly as he leaned his head with his eyes closed.
He returns to his original position, so that Rico does not suspect that he already knows everything. Rico looked down, peering towards Jihan. He sighed in relief because the woman was still closing her eyes.
Rico continued the journey until a few hours later, arriving in a small town far from the hustle and bustle of the crowd.
"Damn! We have arrived" said Rico looking back.
Long enough to fall asleep, he immediately blinked his eyes as Rico's voice pierced his hearing. Jihan looked around, she was surprised because the day had changed by night.
"Where are we, Ric?" said Jihan.
"She wants to go all the way? I'm following. I'm sure you're at home here." Rico starts coming down and opens the door for Jihan.
The woman came down, then circulated her gaze. There is a house that is not too luxurious. Rico grabs Jihan's suitcase and leads the way.
"If you live in a luxurious place it will be easy to trace," Rico said again while reaching for a key.
"My friend, it's been rented for a long time. Just because I live in Mr. Tiger's villa it was never inhabited. But relax, I've paid for the next year" said Rico opened the door.
A few months of unoccupied being dusty and dirty. Rico asks her to sit in the living room first. He immediately went to the room.
Jihan nodded, sitting casually on the sofa while circulating her gaze. It is simple but looks comfortable more comfortable than where he used to live when life was difficult.
An hour passed, Rico had finished cleaning his room. He came out to Jihan who was struggling with his new phone. Hearing Rico's footsteps, Jihan immediately hid her phone.
"It's clean, go to sleep. I'll eat first" said Rico.
Jihan smiled with a nod. He looks very obedient and does not talk much at the moment. Jihan stared at Rico's back and disappeared with her car.
"Thank you for all your kindness, Rico. Turns out, you're not just Tiger's subordinate. But also Leon and Khansa's errand." Jihan laughed bitterly. His life was too restrained by powerful people. The fear of losing her child increasingly ambushed her body.
Jihan rushed out of the house without her suitcase. Because it'll only make it difficult. Jihan only carries a bag of money and personal documents.
Jihan is walking in the opposite direction to Rico's car. He doesn't know where it is now. All he wanted was to go all the way from the people who knew him.
"You must be strong, son. We have to start a new life" he rubbed his stomach as he walked down the street in the dark of the night.
Until he did not feel his feet step up to the big crowd of the road. There are many transpotations through it. His head turned from end to end of the road, looking for directions to know his current whereabouts.
But suddenly his eyes catch Rico's car coming out of a small alley. It's likely that the man realized that Jihan left the house.
"Duh, bad!" Jihan walked fast. Soon he got into the car parked on the shoulder of the road to hide. Coincidentally the door was unlocked.
