THE WOMAN (END)
•197

Done telling bi Atun because I was going home late, I went back to the treatment room.

There are still no signs if Ayu's mom regains consciousness.Is she really only having a mild concussion? then why until now has not been conscious? my mind is full of questions.

CLAMPS, CLOVES,

In the middle of daydreaming I was shocked by the sound of the door of the room opening. Immediately I turned my gaze to see who was coming.

"Sir Ivan?!" tukasku surprised. And so does he who looks surprised.

"Alice? you here?"

"Yes sir,"

Mr. Ivan put the fresh fruits he brought to the table.

"But aren't there any sisters and also your housekeepers.Why are you even here?" tanyanya.

"It's okay sir. I just want to make sure the condition of Ms. Ayu is fine" I explained.

Mr. Ivan sat down on the sofa, smiling..

"He has hurt you many times, but you are still good to him. What exactly is your heart made of Eyebrows?" the tananya half flattered me.

I smiled knot.whether his words were intent on mocking or not.Obviously, it felt strange when he did it.

"It's supposed to be because she's the aunt of my husband sir."

"That's it.." said the mangosteen.

"Sir Ivan himself why did he come here?"

The man sighed and looked at Bu Ayu who was lying down.

"I got word from Nita" he said.

But strangely enough, I did not catch the anxiety on his face at all.

"It should be someone like Ayu, it should get reprimanded.then will realize." his dream is serious.

I was stunned, right my guess. she has absolutely no empathy with the condition of Ayu ma'am. Don't they have a relationship? why is his attitude so cynical.

"No, you two - sorry! I once accidentally saw you two together in the room that time." I looked at him doubtfully.

Mr. Ivan concluded a faint smile.

"I know you saw it. I also intentionally did it because I want you to see it. I think you're going to complain to Sandy. I guessed wrong."

"So? you two? not having a serious relationship at all?!" my search.

Mr. Ivan looked at me as if my question was very tickling

"Ju is an evil woman.she can do whatever she wants.she can ruin someone's reputation with just a snap of a finger."

This time I looked at Mr. Ivan a little Afraid.remembering his bad treatment first to me. Is he also planning something bad on Ms. Ayu now? my mind guessed

"I knew that Ayu was a former doctor of Hasan, who was none other than the man my mother loved very much. in the depths of his heart, no one was able to replace papa, and when I found out, he was planning to approach my papa again.there came a crazy idea that I never thought would dare to do. I quietly approached Ayu, making her special among my female friends. Although I know to be honest she deserves to be my mother, but that's okay.. Everything for the sake of saving the marriage of mama. so that Ayu does not continue his desire to seize papa from the side of the mama. and of course, I succeeded" Mr. Ivan smiled faintly staring at me.

I was squeezing my fingers hard, not because I was angry, but because I was really very surprised to hear the reason for this. Mr. Ivan was willing to be a collision to keep his parents' household safe. his intentions were noble despite his extremely disgusting manner.

"Isn't that a little dangerous?" I cringed in wonder why he was so brave.

"Everything in this world has risks.big or small, depending on how we deal with it. I think, being Sandy's wife is also very dangerous, right? even the risk is very big, but look, you want to live it until now" he said firmly.

I threw my face in the other direction, slightly slapped with his words.

"But, the way that Mr. Ivan has done this has hurt Ms. Ayu. he will certainly be very disappointed if he finds out, Mr. Ivan is just pretending." I murmured

"I never worry about it. Just let him be disappointed, just let him feel the pain.that's a lesson for him, that everything he wants doesn't always have to end up in his grasp." mr. Ivan looked at me confidently.

Although he had a point, but still, revenge would only leave pain. Not inner satisfaction.if revenge is able to satisfy our desires, it is completely a lie. In fact, there will always be regrets later.

"Not yet, I still have to wait another week before the hearing." I said.

I stared doubtfully at Mr. Ivan, did I just tell him about the thing I heard about Ms. Ayu who previously met Mr. Broto. and also about the photo? I'm sure Mr. Ivan knows a lot about Ms. Ayu.

"You should be careful. Ayu will not stay silent if Mr. Broto gets imprisoned" he said again.

I stared at her in shock,

"Why?"

"They seemed to have a big secret that was deliberately hidden.that night, when I was about to meet Ayu. I accidentally saw the two of them were talking about a news that was deliberately not published to the media. for the sake of keeping Ayu's good name, but honestly, I don't understand the news at all about what they discussed." said Mr. Ivan looked so serious

I was silent for a long time, trying to digest the words of Mr. Ivan.if not mistakenly remembered, Mr. Broto had talked about the news that would make the good name of Sandy was destroyed.

"Do you know anything?" inquiringly

I turned to Ayu ma'am, afraid that she would suddenly wake up and hear our chatter.

"Actually, I wanted to ask about something to Ayu's mother.but until now I have not dared to." I murmured doubtfully.

"What's that about?" mr. Ivan looked at me.

"About a photo I found in Ayu's mom's room, and it's been bothering me a lot lately" I'm honest.

"A photograph? what photo?!" mr. Ivan scrunched his forehead not understanding.

"But better, I just ask Ayu ma'am directly. I don't want to guess." I said.

"Did Sandy know about the photo?" ask again.

I shook my head quickly.

"You better tell Sandy who knows she has answers about the photo" she suggested.

"Sir Ivan is right. It's just that, I still hesitate to tell him."

"I think being honest with him is much better. I know Sandy very well, she can't be mad at you. I guarantee you." she explained so convincingly.

I smiled with relief.The words sounded sincere from her point of view towards Sandy mas.

"Oh yeah, what about Vina. you didn't ask her?!" tukasku when remembering the figure of Vina.

"He's out of town, but I've been preaching about this, maybe tonight or tomorrow morning he'll just be here." he explained.

"Do you not intend to be together? looks like Vina is so spoiled for Ivan sir?!" my search.

The man with a firm face smiled faintly.

"She is like a child. It will only be troublesome if made into a girlfriend.I need a woman like you to be my wife." he chirped lightly.

I opened my eyes round.What answer is that? it was so unexpected that I couldn't even hide the look on my surprised face.

KRIIIE....

The phone that Mr. Ivan was holding suddenly rang.he immediately raised his phone, I rubbed my nape awkwardly.

"I'll excuse you for a minute." Ivan got up and stood by the door.

I also got up and approached the bed ma'am Ayu. looks still the same as before. There is no sign he will realize.even his heart rate still looks weak.

"Alis, I have to go to the store. there is a little business. I say goodbye." he said later.

"Thank you for visiting sir."

"Other times if you need help, you let me know" he said as he passed.

I nodded slowly.it seemed like Mr. Ivan was really sincere in helping me this time. Hope so.
