The Story Behind the Curtain
Revealed


Four hours before Xavier's arrival at the Zulakia residence, he asked for his father's bodyguard. Yes, the bodyguard that helped Xavier was Bima.


“Lo come with me!” point at Xavier with his index finger.


Bima who gasped stared at all her coworkers who were brifing at the moment.


“Ngapain lo bengong? Quickly follow young master!” rojak said while pushing Bima's body.


The man sighed and tidied up the suit he was wearing. Slowly, but surely Bima followed Xavier's footsteps into his study.


The man stood firmly in front of Xavier who was now sitting looking at him.


“How many days is he here?” xavier asked while pulling out a book located on the table.


Bima who did not understand the direction of Xavier's conversation just remained silent with eyes that glanced to the right and to the left.


“Lo stupid or what, huh!” snapped Xavier and threw the book he was holding towards Bima standing up.


Bima's reflexes were quite good, the thick book he caught with one hand.


“I really don't understand Sir,” he replied with his head bowed.


“Erli. How many days is he here?” Xavier stood staring at the night from the window.


“Two days Mr.”


“What is the purpose of daddy kidnapping Erli? And lo ... why not tell me? Who do you actually work for?” flocked Xavier without turning his eyes away.


Bima covered her own lips and she was speechless.


“Fuck, answer my question!”


“Master forces Erli.” Shaking her head, “I mean, Miss Erli. To end his marriage with Rafan,” explained Bima.


Xavier turned his body to stare at his bodyguard.


“Where do you know Erli's husband's name?” He frowned when he asked a question.


“It just so happens that I know the man, Mr.”


Safwan's only child pulled the corner of his lips and appeared on the face of a sly smile.


“Lo thinks I'm stupid,” says Xavier poured red wine.


Bima who felt threatened raised her head to look at the face of the boss's son. Doubt and worry engulfed his heart, but he decided to be honest without any one thing he covered up.


Xavier sat in his chair listening to all Bima's stories while enjoying the red wine in hand. After Bima stopped telling the story, Xavier threw the glass that he had been holding since. Of course the glass was smashed on the floor.


“Why did the old man interfere in my life!” Crashing table.


“Lo come with me to Erli's house!” Xavier came out and slammed the door.


Instantly Bima grabbed her phone in her pants pocket and immediately she contacted Rafan to inform him of this.


\*\*\*


When Xavier left, Erli decided to sit down to enjoy the night breeze on the side porch. Initially he was accompanied by Jafar, after sitting down and chatting for a few minutes the old man left his nephew alone on the porch.


“You don't daydream much! Pay attention to health for the sake of uncle's grandson,” said Jafar advising Erli whom he already considered to be his own son.


“Iya, Uncle. After this Erli went inside,” Erli replied with a small nod.


In the corner of the living room, apparently Handoko has noticed the situation. He was just waiting for a quick time to get close to his nephew's daughter-in-law.


Zulaika's sister showed her smirk and downed the fizzy drink she had just picked up in the fridge.


Seeing Jafar leave Erli hurried Handoko moved and came out to meet Erli who was still sitting pensively staring at the night sky. Either too focused or what, Erli was unaware of the presence of the man he hated so much.


“Hai my dear,” greet Handoko while stroking Erli's hair.


Stunned Erli gets a touch of Handoko's hand. The woman's face stiffened and her jaws tightened, the anger that had just subsided was now burning again burning her heart.


“What's your goal here?” erli asked with glaring eyes.


“Did you forget your promise this afternoon?” Handoko pulled her hair.


“How, do you remember now?” Raise next to his eyebrows.


“Better scram from before me!” expel Erli lirih.


“Not as young as my little girl,” said Handoko grinning.


“I said leave me!” erli said with great emphasis.


Handoko moved closer to Erli who was standing beside the pole.


“Don't tell me you're avoiding me because of your ex-boyfriend.”


Erli's eyes bulged after Handoko said ‘mantan’. How not? In this house that knows Xavier ex only Rafan and Galang, because Rafan tells this with Galang.


“Where did you know that he was my ex?” asked Erli with a flat face.


Handoko smiled widely, “There are no secrets between me and them.”


“Jadi ...” Erli's words hanging up made Handoko excited.


“Come, we do something fun.”


“Don't dream! Until death I will not drop my pride,” cried Erli.


“Hrga self? Ha-ha-ha ..” Handoko laughs at Erli—mantu his nephew.


“See your son! He's an illegitimate son. The result of the adultery you did with that man named Xavier,” sneer Handoko, the jaw of that perverted man was tightened.


Suddenly Erli looked at Handoko with sharpening eyes.


“Am I wrong? Of course not, that's the reality you've been hiding all along. Stupidly Rafan wants to accept a despicable woman like you,” scorned Handoko trying to hug Erli.


“Let go of me jerk!”


“Do not sell expensive! Serve me tonight, even if you can't wear it, at least there's something else I can play.”


Handoko tightened her arms and forced herself to kiss Erli.


“Backed! Let go of me!” Erli involuntarily shouted to where Zulaika broke down the door and found Erli in Handoko's arms.


“Truly brash you two.” The middle-aged lung woman's netra glared at Erli and Handoko.


“You ... How can you do this! Where's your pest, huh?” sergeant Zulaika while pointing at the faces of the two of them.


Erli pushed Handoko's body with all his might until the man took off his hand from Erli's body.


“This is not what I imagined,” Erli said in self-defense.


“Then, how is it?” Steady sharp Erli.


“This man—" Erli said stopped because Zulaika snapped at him.


“Stop! You don't need to defend yourself. Get out of this house and take your son!” zulaika shouted as she turned her eyes away.


As if she was no longer looking at Erli's face. The sound of Zulaika's clap invites the whole family to come to the side terrace.


Jafar, Rasmi and Khafi stared curiously at everyone who was staring at Erli who was crying pleading before Zulaika.


“Aya naon? What's up?” Official pulled Erli who was resting at the feet of his in-laws.


“Eneng aya naon? Anjeun cicingeun? Eneng, what's wrong? Why shut up?” ask the curious official.


Erli was speechless, Jafar's niece was just crying as much as she could not figure out what made her cry like that.


Jafar had not yet asked the question, Zulaika had already expelled Erli back with very evil words.


“Bring your niece and her bastard son! And never come back here again,” decitnya with the hand that leads to the main door.


“Let's talk about this with a cool head, Tea!” soft official.


“I no longer want a lowly woman like her in my house!” snapped Zulaika until Rasmi rounded her eyes in shock.
