The Partner Bed CEO
Stitch Wound
Gibran closed his laptop while looking at the watch in his hand.
"Eight o'clock in the evening, Almira must have come home from the boutique."
He then scratched his forehead.
"Should I consider Bella's words to be more vigilant during Milan's stay in Bandung?" gibran said again.
"I'd better go to Almira's house now and pretend to ask her to accompany me to dinner" Gibran said then rushed out of his office.

Milan looked so deftly following the blue mercy car in front of him. Moments later, the car appeared to enter a luxury cluster not far from Almira's boutique. Milan parked his car not far from the woman's house.
After getting out of the car, Almira smiled as she approached a man who was waiting for her on the porch with a parcel.
From a distance, Milan seemed to observe the posture and face that is now with the woman.
"Why is that guy so similar to Gibran? Is that Gibran? But I can't quite see his face" said Milan, staring intently at them.
"I'd better wait here to see who the man is" Milan said, playing his phone. Suddenly the phone sounded.
"Mama" said Milan then raised the call.
[Yes ma.]
[Milannnnnnn, where are you Milannnn?] yelled his mother on the other end of the phone.
[Why the hell ma, yelling? Milan have a little business.]
[Milan, tomorrow's Anya and Vino's wedding but you still have time to go out. Here are many guests of Milan, many of our brothers who come and ask you! Now quickly go home to Aunt Rani's house!]
[Yes... Yes ma, Milan come home now.] said Milan then hung up the phone from his mother.
He looked towards the house of Almira.
"Almira or Rachel, whoever you are, I will investigate the truth about you" Milan said, driving away.
🍀🍀🍀🍀
Gibran and Almira enter the house and walk to the table to enjoy the dinner brought by Gibran.
"Ra, are you meeting new people today?"
"Yes, I met someone I've never met" Almira replied as she ate her meal.
"Who is that really?" gibran asked in a panic.
"Of course the customers at my boutique Gibran" Almira replied with a chuckle.
"You're just Ra."
"Gibran, I want to ask you something."
"Yes Ra, what do you want to ask?"
"You told me once, if the stitching wound in my stomach was due to an appendectomy, but why do you always buy me spicy food? Then why don't I feel anything when I eat that spicy food? Isn't it usual if ever the appendix is not allowed to eat spicy food?"
"Ep... E... That's. It's because you've been declared fully cured of your appendix Ra's disease." Gibran replied nervously.
"really?"
"Yes, of course, why would I lie to you? Emh Ra, I'm done eating, I'm going home, baby" Gibran said, so Almira wouldn't ask him any further questions.
"Yes Gibran."
"Ro rest, don't sleep too late" Gibran said, rubbing Almira's head and leaving the house of Almira.
Almira then smiled. "I also finished eating, now it's time to take a shower and then go to bed" said Almira then put her dirty dishes in the kitchen and went into her room.
"This stitch, is it really stitches due to appendectomy?" almira said as she stared at the stitches in front of the mirror.

Kicking wedding songs filled every corner of the hotel ballroom, amid the hustle and bustle of the invited guests, Milan looked aloof in one corner of the room while playing his cell phone. Every now and then she sees Anya and Vino who now look so happy at their wedding reception. Her tears then trickled down as she recalled her memories with Rachel during their wedding.
Without Milan realizing it, now Anya and Vino are sitting approaching Milan who are still pensive with blank stares.
"Milan." said Vino who was now sitting next to him.
"Oooh, why are you here?"
"Maha." Anya then laughed.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Milan, this wedding is over, and we want to sit down with you. I don't want my cousin to go crazy after attending my wedding party." Anya replied with a chuckle.
"You could have been him."
"Milan, we know how you feel. Right now you can't forget Rachel. But life has to go on, Milan" said Vino, patting Milan on the shoulder.
"Whatchu mean? Do you want to get me married again just like you always tell me?"
"No Milan, that's not what we mean. We know love can't be forced, if you remarry before you're ready, it'll only hurt your heart and your partner."
"You turned out to be very wise Vino, Anya was not wrong to have chosen you as her husband."
"Hahahaha, of course, Anya would never be wrong to have chosen me as her husband" Vino said as she kissed Anya on the cheek.
"Based on you, so this is what you mean to approach me to show off your affection." grumbled Milan.
"No, this is not what we mean."
"Then?"
"Milan you have to move on with your life I'm not telling you to forget Rachel but you have to be able to make your life more useful for others."
"What do you mean Vino?"
"Maybe you should do some social activities, I'm sure these activities will definitely be able to amuse a little bit of the turmoil in your heart."
"Social activity? Maybe that's a good idea."
"So you want to come with us tomorrow?" tanya Anya with a happy face.
"Yes, I have to try."
"Well Milan, tomorrow you can come with us to the orphanage. We regularly visit the orphanage because Vino is one of the donors in the orphanage" Anya said.
"Well, I'll come with you tomorrow."

The next morning, the three of them headed to an orphanage on the outskirts of Bandung.
"Mother's Gem Orphanage" said Milan when reading the orphanage signpost.
He then walked into the parlor following Vino and Anya who were now walking in front of him. While walking in the hallway, suddenly his right leg hit something from behind.
Milan reflex immediately turned his body, at that time he also saw a toddler who was about a year old was falling beside his feet, the baby was then crying. Instantly there was a tremor coming in his heart when he saw the baby who was now crying beside him. Milan then carried the baby.
Then at that moment a middle-aged woman walked up to him. "Sorry sir, Arsen was learning to walk and he accidentally bumped into your leg" she said.
"Arsen?" ask Milan.
"Yes, the baby you carry is called Arsen." replied the middle-aged woman.
