A few days have passed since Edward and Laura returned from a short holiday on the island of the gods, Bali. Edward is back at work. The wife returned to work on the script.
Laura wanted, before she gave birth to the baby, she had graduated from college. Because, after giving birth he wants to focus on caring for his child. Laura wants to feel like a mother, whose time is only to take care of her child and the wife who is always there for her husband.
Although Edward will hire a nanny, but Laura wants to stay at home close to the baby.
“Bos, here are some files to sign. I checked. Boss can check it again.” Johan placed several maps in front of Edward who was busy with his folding computer.
“Put it down first. I still have a lot of work.”
“This afternoon, Mr. Aditama invited us to lunch together, boss.” Johan said back.
Hearing the assistant's words, Edward's hand stopped working. He stared for a moment at the assistant.
“You only came with Monica. I'm lazy.” Edward's sure, there's gotta be Teresha there. Although the woman said she was going to marry Damian, Edward still felt uncomfortable if he was close to the woman.
“Why, boss? Is it because there's Teresha Hadi?”
“Yes. You know I feel uncomfortable with the presence of that woman.”
Johan nodded his head. He doesn't want to talk much anymore. He knows the nature of Edward who does not like to be denied.
And during the day greeting, Johan and his wife also meet the invitation to lunch from Mr. Aditama. And it's true that Edward thought, Teresha was there.
“Pak Johan, come with whom? Where is Mr Edward?” Teresha asked as she let her guests sit down.
“Include, she's my wife. Secretary of Mr. Edward. Sorry, sir Edward is not available.” Johan said politely.
Monica and Teresha shake hands. And so is Aditama. Lunch was quiet and smooth. Although in interspersed discussion of the problem of hospital construction projects.
After about two hours, the lunch was over. However, before separating Teresha left something to Johan.
“Pak Johan, I want to leave you an invitation. Please give it to Edward and Laura.” The woman offered an invitation to Monica's husband. Johan accepted it.
“Let me tell you, madam.”
The four of them then disbanded.
“Darling, who is he? Why invite sir Edward and Laura?” Monica asked, the woman's hand was holding the invitation that Teresha had given her earlier, they were now in the car.
Johan breathed slowly. He then tells the story of Teresha and her relationship with Edward and Laura.
Monica simply responded with a nod of her head. The woman then rests her back on the back of the chair. He suddenly felt dizzy.
Arriving at the office, Johan immediately met the boss. And give Teresha a handover.
“Random!” The man's orders. He is now sitting on the sofa, holding his folding computer.
“Wedding Invitation. Damian Wicaksana with Teresha Hadi. Two more weeks, at 10am at Angel Heart.” orphanage
Edward squinted his brows. There will be a wedding at his wife's orphanage, but he and Laura don't know?
“Why doesn't anyone tell?” Murmuring the man, he then took his phone on the table, and contacted Bagas.
The burly man said he did not know if there would be a wedding at the venue. He also said that the state of the home is still mediocre, no one discussed the issue of marriage.
Bagas also said Damian and Teresha had not been seen coming to the orphanage again, after some time ago meeting Leo.
***
At night, Laura waited anxiously for her husband. It's not usual for Edward to come home late like this. Since marriage, Edward always came home on time, even when Laura was declared pregnant, the man often went home early.
She called her husband's contact number several times, but the man did not pick her up. Makes the pregnant woman feel more upset.
Trying to calm down, Laura tries to call Johan's mobile number, but neither of them answers. He then called Monica's number, but unfortunately, the woman's number was inactive.
“Jeez, what's going on? Papi where?” Laura was getting frustrated. She had a conversation with her husband over the phone this afternoon, when the man had lunch.
They chatted as usual, there was no message Edward had given him.
“Bu, please contact the front house, if brother Jo and mbak Monica have gone home.” Laura is still trying not to think a no-no. Although the husband, it was already two hours late, from the time he usually went home.
“Mistress, lord Johan and mistress Monica have not returned.”
The deg!!
Now Laura's bad thoughts can't be controlled anymore. A shadow of an accident flashed through his mind.
His father, father-in-law, and brother-in-law, died in an accident. She was afraid that it would happen to her husband. The young woman's head suddenly turned. He almost fell, if only Bu village did not hold his body.
“Mistress?” The middle-aged woman refuted Laura's body, then led her towards the sofa.
“Bu.. Where is my husband? Why aren't they news?”
The village maam sat down next to Laura, then grabbed the pregnant woman's body.
“Maybe there is a sudden job, madam. Don't think a no-no.” The village ma'am gently rubbed Laura's arm.
“I'm scared, Mom. I don't want to, my son has a fate like Devano.”
“Have, pray for it. May they all be well.”
“Bu I—
The sound of the wide open door leaves made Laura and Bu of the village turn their heads. There appeared Edward with his tired look, the man even took off the suit he used, and took it for granted.
“Papi?” Laura got up and ran towards her husband. The woman did not even care, if her husband had not changed clothes, and there was still the scent of perfume.
“Be careful, why run?” Edward caught the wife's body.
Instead of answering, the woman was crying. He poured out all the worries in his heart with a cry.
“Hey, what's up?” Edward took off the entanglement of the wife's hand, then cupped the woman's cheeks, he even threw his suit away on the floor.
Laura's crying is getting louder. Edward was confused. The man asked for an explanation to his home assistant, who was not far from them.
“The lady is worried about the master, the mistress is contacting the master, even Mr. Johan, and mrs Monica, but none of you are answering. I also contacted the front house. But lord Johan and lady Monica have not returned.”
The village explained at length. Edward let out his breath slowly. He then led his wife back to sit on the sofa.
“Please get drinking water.” His orders to the village ma'am, and the woman also resigned. Shortly after, he came back with a glass of water. He left his masters there.
“Minum.” Edward painstakingly fed the water into the wife's mouth.
“Baby, baby. Ii'm sorry. Didn't mean to make you anxious.” Said Edward who again cupped the cheek of the wife, he rubbed the wet cheeks of the woman.
“I'm scared. Moreover, father, papa, and brother David died in an accident. I—.”
Edward covered his wife's lips with his index finger.
“Do not think a no-no. You must always pray for me, to be safe wherever you are.” Laura nodded her head.
“So there was a little problem, Monica suddenly fell unconscious. So Johan took her to the hospital, and I finished the remaining work, sorry I didn't get to tell you.”
Hearing the husband's words, Laura suddenly looked at the man.
“Mbak Monica fainted? Why?”
“I don't know either, Johan hasn't been notified.”
