"Alright, I'll lure you first" replied Bayu who did not want to argue with Naya because she knew a shrewd woman in such matters.
Geck..
Geck..
Geck..
"Bu Naya, Mr. Nikol will be visiting in 5 minutes" cried Farah after running away from the room.
Naya and Bayu looked at each other and then chuckled at each other.
"Darling, you're busy. I go home first yaa.." said Bayu.
"Wait for me, I want to have lunch with you in the company cafeteria,".
"Didn't it matter? eating in the company cafeteria?,".
"No, I haven't heard people talking about us in a long time, my mouth is also itching to say (you I fired) to employees who don't know themselves" Naya said, smiling.
The two of them chuckled at each other, as if they knew where the end of each step they would take.
"Well how about that next Mr Nikol, you'll meet him? I'll just wait in the car then" said Bayu.
"Don't love, Nikol is my schoolmate in Singapore, I don't know what he's visiting for" Naya said.
Hearing that, Bayu already understood the situation. And again someone who will try to seize his wife will visit, the opportunity Bayu will not miss just like that. Bayu took a sitting position near Naya's desk.
Tock....
Geck...
"Come in" said Naya.
"Hi Nay, How are you doing? How are you?" asked the slightly bule-faced man before him.
"I am great, same as always! I'm good as always" replied Naya cuek.
"You still look the same as you used to, still beautiful" explained Nikol.
Hearing that, Bayu sharpened his gaze to Nikol. Like an eagle that is ready to peg its prey.
"And, who's he? Who's she?,".
"Meet me, he's my husband".
"Huh? Husband?!," said Nikol in shock.
"Yes, He is my husband," by holding Bayu's fingers.
"Oh- hi," said Nikol.
"Hi," replied Bayu with a slight raise of hand.
"Nay, I think the rumors are fake, they're true" Nikol replied.
Naya heard it just smile.
"What are you seeing me for?" asked Naya.
"I just stopped by in this country, all my friends with your mom's dad, I haven't seen them in a long time, last time in Singapore, I always ate aunt Melanie's cooking, she said, playing with your sister Arana, and we used to be inseparable while in Singapore," Nikol's long explanation was deliberately to heat up Bayu.
"You can go straight to my home address, what are you here for?" asked Naya.
"Is it wrong to see a little friend?" asked Nikol.
Nikol codified his assistant, an elongated box containing a scroll of paintings by world-famous painter Paul Cezanne, one of whose collections had already been purchased by the Qatari royal family.
"Painting The Card Players, by Paul Cezanne, how's Nay?,".
"Good," replied Naya briefly because she did not know the world of painting art.
"You knew? I bought it for $250 million,".
"What's? You crazy? It costs Rp. 3.5 Trillion".
"It's okay, it's just a little bit for a gift, compared to the lunch that Aunt Melanie made for me and Aaron who used to take me to school," clearly Nikol by showing off in front of Bayu.
Naya who suddenly gets a call from a VIP customer leaves the place a few minutes. Bayu as usual will be himself when Naya is not next to him.
"The painting is good" Bayu said.
"Of course, since the price is no joke, have you ever given Aaron a gift like the one I was about to give? Opps, I don't think I forgot, you're an unemployed man living under your wife's purse".
Hearing that, Bayu smiled cynically, because the truth of their household, only Bayu and Naya know, people only judge from the outside without looking at the contents of the Bayu and Naya households themselves. Bayu never use Naya's money for his purposes, not infrequently Naya is given an allowance even with a small amount, at least Bayu is responsible.
For Naya, Bayu money is very valuable, therefore Naya places the money given by Bayu in the new Naya safe like an heirloom object, Naya knows her husband is very trying to be responsible even though with a salary that is less than Naya's income, the results of Bayu payments as online content editing.
"I don't have that kind of money right now...."
"Right now and forever, ha ha ha," Nikol continued haughtily.
"Mr Nikol are you sure this painting is real?,".
Hearing that Nikol was stirred with emotion.
"What do you mean say that?! Are you envious because I was able to give your in-laws valuable things while you were?!!,".
Bayu smiled cynically, "I'm just worried that your money would be in vain if you bought a fake painting at a fantastic price".
"Know what are you with the world of painting?! after school you didn't get to college!!!".
"Look at this painting, the lines above the canvas, the textures, how Paul describes what the meaning conveys, the painting has a soul, the color is distinctive, the human visual design is deep, compare the colors of this painting, the painting, very opaque and rough surface,".
"You.." Nikol's words were choked because Naya had entered the room.
"What are you talking about?,".
"No Nay, well excuse me.." said Nikol furiously.
"It's nice to meet you," said Bayu with a thin devil smile.
"Well Naya, see you." said Nikol then left Naya's room.
Naya and Bayu spend lunch together in the company's office cafeteria, as they guessed it was true. It's just that their speech that time was a little more muted because they knew Naya would not hesitate to do the dismissal, he said, Naya has proven a senior employee who worked for decades Naya fired only because she felt she had become an employee long ago then dared to advise Naya not to do marriage with Bayu because it was not equal making Naya fire him without respect.
...****************...
upon arrival at the office, Bayu returned home. Farah enters Naya's room by asking about Nikol leaving Naya's room with a reddened face due to emotions and speaking rudely to her assistant, Farah is only worried if something happens, nikol has withdrawn its shares from BOF.
"There's nothing Farah, everything's fine" Naya said
"All right Mom, I'm sorry,".
After Farah left Naya's room, Naya curiously checked the CCTV and heard Bayu and Nikol talk, Naya clearly caught something strange with her husband's face, instantly turned into a firm and different from Bayu's sad face when always with him, and that aura? That smile? Naya felt it wasn't Bayu her husband.
"Does Bayu have a double disorder? and how can he explain in detail like a professional in the field of painting, only certain people can do it, only people like scientists, while Bayu did not attend college, is it just my gut feeling that's excessive?".
