Feeling Trapped
"How's your relationship with Ari's sister, Jen?" Luna asked so attentively when both of them had finished, and in the room only two.
"My relationship with Brother Darius is fine, Brother... Even very good." Jenifer answered while displaying a fake smile.
Seeing the persistence of Darius who was willing to marry her even though she was in a state that might not be acceptable to other men outside the funds, made Jenifer feel a foreign feeling that slipped in his heart.
That foreign feeling did not dare Jenifer to speak to Darius when he saw her husband like keeping a distance with him.
They misunderstand each other.
If Darius thinks Jenifer's still expecting Raka.. So did Jenifer who thought that Darius was still expecting the woman he loved so much - all he didn't know was his brother-in-law.
Jenifer thought that Darius would not touch her just because he wanted to be responsible until he gave birth to her only child.
But Jenifer was not hypocritical when he saw the earnestness of Darius who was so sincere in love with him and attention to him when they faced all his family without exception Chandra and Luna even through a video call connection.
And they all thought Jenifer and Darius were a romantic couple.
"Thank God.. I'm glad to hear that, Jen. Ari's sister is indeed a good person." said Luna with a genuine smile while holding Jenifer's hand, take her near the pool where the baby shower event will be held without examining the details of Jenifer's facial features that indicate anxiety.
***
Welcome to Baby Shower Luna and Jenifer Event.
Raka scrunched her forehead as she looked at the writing on the huge wreath when she reached the grounds of Abimana's house.
"Luna's? Jenifer? Are they? Then if so, what is their relationship with Mr Abimana Dirjaya?" batin Raka asked.
"Are you okay, sir?" asked his personal assistant when he saw Raka speechless after getting off the Car while staring at the wreath.
"It's okay. I was just looking at the name listed there." explained Raka as she pointed to the name on the wreath.
"Oh! It's the name of Mr. Abimana's son and son-in-law, the young master." chimpal assistant who knows everything, different from Raka.
But a second later.. Raka oun nodded then the two stepped into the Abimana residence.
"There's no way it's Luna.. Luna is in Indonesia. Not in London. And definitely not that Luna." Raka's mind did not want to be too complicated.
Satria who was in charge of welcoming guests who came also smiled cynically when she saw Raka entering her Dad's residence.
He and Abimana had invited Raka to Jenifer's baby shower to see the man's reaction when he saw Jenifer's belly bulging without Chandra's knowledge.
Unbeknownst to Chandra as well, Satria and Abimana already knew what Kinara was.
"Mr Raka.." Satria shook Raka's hand with a made-up friendly smile. "You came alone?" Satria subtly insinuates Raka by turning to all the colleagues and business associates he has invited, seen bringing their respective wives and spouses.
"Yes, Mr. Satria. I came alone because my wife was not feeling well." explained Raka who made Satria pretend to nod her head understand.

On the other side near the pool, the,
"Are you sure you don't want to know about the gender of your future son, Ndra?" Emily again asked what she thought was important to know about preparing Chandra's child-to-be kit.
"No, Mom." Chandra insisted stubbornly which made Luna could only smile at her Mom-in-law.
Her husband was indeed so stubborn, like the other day when they were checking on her pregnancy.
At that time Luna could only hold back her objection when her husband insisted on refusing to know her child's gender first.
FLASHBACKS
"Mistress Luna is healthy, sir. And the gender-"
"Stop!" sela Chandra who made Doctor Maya frown.
While Luna, the beautiful woman with pliable eyes gasped when she saw Chandra interrupted her doctor's explanation.
"What's up, sir?" Doctor Maya asked.
"Don't mention her gender. I don't want to hear it yet, Doc." Chandra explained that made Luna couldn't bear to not ask. "Why, Mas? If we know the gender, we can buy the equipment of our prospective children according to their needs."
"Shopping for equipment our prospective children can use neutral colors, dear." It was obvious that Chandra finally could not make Luna refute him.
"alright, Sir. I will keep it a secret and will tell you if you have asked." said Doctor Maya finally who made Chandra and Luna nod her head.
After all the colleagues and business associates invited by him and Abimana had arrived, Satria also invited them without exception Raka to go to the pool area, where the baby shower was held.
"Let's Mr.. Madam." Satria allows everyone to follow her without exception Raka.
Raka was stunned, her throat seemed to be choked when entering the pool area that had been transformed in such a good way by Emily's sophisticated hands.
The man focused his attention on a woman with her belly bent and next to him stood a man he had told all about his revenge on Chandra by exploiting Jenifer's stupidity, who used to claim to be an employee at his Papa company.
Raka did not need to ask what their relationship was, because when she turned to Chandra and Luna who were sitting next to Jenifer, they were wearing matching clothes but different colors.
"What did you see, sir?" Satria asked with a cynical smile that Raka could not see, because the man was so fixated on Jenifer's bulging belly, that he knew it was his flesh and blood.
Raka does not recognize Satria's voice because he is not aware of his surprise, then he answers what is in accordance with what he is seeing because he thinks the one who asks is his Personal Assistant.
"Seeing Jenifer."
"Jenifer? You're staring at my sister, Mr Raka?" Satria asked again desperately holding back her emotions.
Hearing the word "my sister", Raka then turned to the man standing next to her and realized if the one who asked her earlier was not her personal assistant.
"Mr Satria?" Raka found it difficult to swallow his saliva, even the man immediately circulated his gaze to neutralize his nervousness because he had been caught off guard by others if he was staring at Jenifer.
Raka does not know if Satria is Jenifer's first biological sister.
"Yes.. L am. You told me you were staring at Jenifer. You know my sister?" Satria asked with the emphasis of each word.
If not being in a big event, maybe Satria has given her raw bogem to Raka for daring to make Jenifer like that.
"Jenifer's sister, sir?" Raka feels trapped now, she does not know if Abimana and Satria are Dad and Jenifer's brother.
"Yes. He's my real brother. Do you know him? When did you guys get to know each other? Why don't I know?" Satria scatters Raka with many questions accompanied by a sharp look.
Kring~~~
Raka's phone reads saving Raka from Satria's bullying gaze.
In a hurry, Raka also took his phone that was in his pocket and immediately pressed the green phone handle icon to answer it.
"I answer the phone first, Mister." Raka told Satria before sticking her phone to her ear.
"Please!" Satria patiently waits next to Raka.
"What?" Raka asked in a surprised tone as her bodyguard told her if Kinara was rushed to the hospital.
"Yes, Sir. Mrs Kinara passed out and the Doctor who examined the Madam asked us to take Mrs Kinara to the hospital." obviously the bodyguard that made Raka suddenly look up then rubbed his face violently and a second later turned off his phone connection.
Kinara's in the hospital? Lord.. Pray that he is as ready as ever. Inner Raka prays for the healing of his wife.
However Kinara's current state was due to his mistake and carelessness.
"Joe!" raka shouted at his personal assistant who was seen talking to his business partner who made everyone who was there look at him.
"Don't yell at people's events, Mr. Raka. Respect the Host." said Satria who made Raka look again at him.
"Raka?" Chandra gasped as he looked at Raka.
"Sir Raka?" Luna and Darius were no less surprised.
"Bang Raka?" Jenifer was the same, but hurriedly turned his gaze to Darius as Raka now looked at him wistfully.
"What's up, Mister?" in a hurry, Raka's personal assistant asked.
"Kinara is in the hospital, we have to get there" Raka said as she turned around she would run quickly but was blocked by Satria.
"You can't leave, Mr. Raka. The show is just about to start. If you leave means you don't appreciate the person who has invited you." stressed Satria who made Raka speechless while rubbing her face rough.
