1 Month Later,
"Is everything ready, honey?" ask Luke to his wife. The wife also nodded happily, especially when her husband's muscular arms coiled spoiled around her waist and tucked into the niche of her neck. "Not until someone is left behind,"
"Yes, my chatty darling" replied his wife with a smile.
Since Otis Rivers sent the couple on their honeymoon, Luke and Alma have become closer together. Although at first, Luke had been melamma because of vacillating feelings of uncertainty. But now he has made his choice.
This doesn't just happen, a few weeks ago, Otis contacted Alma and told Alma that his nephew had been living with Felix North. Otis' goal, of course, is for Luke to forget Kanaya.
This tactic worked, as Luke withdrew his divorce request and treated his wife better. Not only that, he also apologized to Alma.
Hearing the happy news from his beloved sister makes Otis happy and feels his plan is working.
"If you lie too much, said the ancients, you will die being kicked by a goat" Otis' personal assistant sneered.
Otis laughing. "Hahahaha, I know you're still upset with me, Kai. Lying for good is necessary and I don't think it increases my sin" he replied.
Kai pursed his lips even more. His two eyes he pointed fixedly at the middle-aged man. "What if the meeting keeps them coming back?"
"I will make the news even bigger, so that they will hate each other" Otis replied casually.
"Curtain! That's the name you don't think about your son's feelings, Mr. Rivers," Kai said.
Otis knew that the lies he was doing were out of bounds. However, this is the only way so that his daughter and sister-in-law do not remember each other and forget their love.
Kanaya's relationship with Luke is well known to both Otis and Alma. That is why, Otis separated the two people who are stricken with love. The man does not want his daughter to be labeled as bad by the community, especially Kanaya now serves as the leader of Rivers Group. The youngest leader of the century.
"I did everything for Kanaya's sake, Mr. Fletcher. You also know that Nay still asks a lot about Luke, right? I found out from your messages and sometimes when Nay called you, I knew he was crying because he was holding back the longing. But the relationship is wrong" continued Otis who is now silent and staring far ahead with a blank look that has a lot of meaning.
Kai couldn't seem to convolve anymore when Otis said that. He admits that Nay is still attached to Luke. I don't know about Luke, but he's hoping Luke will come home with Alma pregnant.
But unfortunately, Kai's hope will not be fulfilled. Luke is back with his wife, but that doesn't mean he can reconnect with Alma.
Every time the handsome man tried it, Kanaya's shadow was always dancing in his mind. Luke still vividly remembers how he and Kanaya were together. Just by thinking about it, it has made Luke's skin bristling and not only that, as much as a longing as piercing his heart.
"Luke, I'm ready. Come on, we'll miss the plane" Alma said. The woman immediately took the hand of her dreamy husband.
Luke stutters. "Come," he said.
When they got home, it was night. They decided to take a break.
"Luke," call Alma.
"Yes?" answer husband. Luke turned his body until now they were staring at each other. "What's up, honey?"
"Can't you, .... I mean, what's keeping you from getting in touch with me? I've been waiting for him since yesterday. Do you still remember Nay?" ask Alma. At that time, he did not dare to ask Luke that question. Because they are on vacation and Alma does not want to ruin their days.
"I can't yet. If I just hold you, I can still do it. Forgive me," Luke replied in a bitter tone.
Alma nodded slowly. "Yes already. I'll wait for you until you can open your heart to me again,"
Luke smiled at her smile. "I promised someone not to fall in love with you again but I don't know, maybe a promise to stay" Luke said.
"Oh, Alma! Wow, you guys have arrived apparently. Let's get in!" sahut Otis percia. Alma and Luke follow the owner to get inside.
"Say my sister has a new assistant. Haven't arrived? What kind of assistant has not arrived yet?" Luke protest.
Otis's laughter broke immediately upon hearing the ravings of his sister-in-law. "Hahahaha, I told him to come by noon. He always takes overtime and accompanies me. He's a good young man, I like him" Otis looked ahead and saw the large, classic wall clock at the end of his living room. "Ah, he'll be here soon. Just wait,"
The old man's face was beaming and sure enough, the sound of a motor roar entered the courtyard of Otis' magnificent mansion. "That's it!"
"Motorized?" tease Luke. For him, an assistant must be elegant to reflect his superior.
The figure of a small thin man with half curly hair and glasses entered the living room Otis. His arrival was crowded, he was greeted by the servants well.
"Ahoi, Mr. Rivers!" exclaim the little guy. Then he saw Luke Wallace and his wife, and he bowed respectfully. "Oh, uh, good morning, Mr. Wallace and Madam,"
Otis laughed again. "Haha. Ahoi, Mr. Fletcher!" otis exclaimed as he raised his sagging hand.
"He!" luke is shocked to see Kai enter the living room. "Who's your new personal assistant?"
Kai extended his hand. "Kai Fletcher, Mr. Rivers' assistant,"
Luke shook Kai's hand and threw his face the other way. Kai pulled his hand back. "Okay, Mr. Rivers. I'll be working soon. Please continue,"
Luke looked at Kai's back until Kai disappeared from his sight. "Sister, brother recruited Fletcher to be an assistant? Was he that capable until Big Brother raised him to be an assistant?"
"He's smart and he's brave. That's my reason, Luke. Already about me! How about you guys?" otis asked while wearing her glasses.
"I want to adopt a baby, sister," replied Alma.
Suddenly, Luke turned sharply towards his wife. "Well! Why?"
"Looks like I'm gonna have a hard time conceiving, brother. We have not been to the doctor, but I have a feeling that I will find it difficult to get a child later, so I intend to adopt only children. How's it?" ask Alma.
Luke felt guilty when Alma said that. It wasn't Alma who couldn't have a child but he was the one who didn't want to get in touch with his wife. Can't exactly yet.
"I agree, as long as it can make you happy and strengthen your marriage, please do it" said Otis.
"If Brother Otis agrees, this afternoon Luke and I will go to the children's foundation. Can you accompany us?" ask Alma again.
Otis gave his palm. "This is your business, please go your own way,"
With Otis's permission, they went to the foundation and chose the baby they were going to adopt.
Meanwhile, the,
"Kai, if today you reply to Nay. Tell him Luke will have a child" Otis said flatly.
Kai nodded slowly. He knew, the thing he was going to say this time would make the girl crumble to the brink.
