"Assalamu'alaikum" said Alex who is now in his room after returning from work.
"Waalaikumsalam" replied Larisa then approached her husband and kissed his hand.
Alex then kissed Larisa's lips making her smile at what her husband was doing.
Larisa then takes her husband's briefcase, then helps Alex take off her work coat.
"Thank you my wife" Alex said, but Larisa smiled at her husband.
Alex who saw the face of his wife who was less cheerful than usual became confused what actually made his wife become like that.
"Honey" said Alex now standing right in front of Larisa while hugging his wife's waist.
"What's the matter, why have you looked so moody since this morning?" Now Alex is tightening his forehead and Larisa's forehead. Make them close now. Even Larisa could feel her husband's right breath hitting her face.
"No papa" said Larisa briefly to make Alex disappointed because his wife who did not want to honestly say what actually made him look sad.
Larisa then released a hug from her husband then headed towards the box baby Kenan, looking at the face of the child that can make her feel a little better.
"Have I hurt your feelings?" Alex asked who was replied with a headband by Larisa.
"Or have I made a mistake I didn't realize?" Alex asked again but again Larisa answered the question from him only with a headband.
"Say baby. I promise I will make you happy. I don't like to see my wife's smiling face. It makes my heart so worried, because I'd rather see my wife's pretty face smile" Alex said, but Larisa remained true to the flat expression on her face. Makes Alex look like a fool for not getting a reaction from his wife.
Now Alex began to be frustrated because he did not know what to do so Larisa wanted to say what made it like that, her frustration now she began to grab her own hair.

Ardian is now starting to feel worried because he got word from his new assistant if Alex's company wants to hold a meeting but it is not yet clear what the purpose of the meeting is.
Since then Ardian paced back and forth because he was very afraid to face Alex directly after the incident the other day that made them both lost communication. Although the cooperation between the companies remains intertwined, but Ardian feels sorry for Alex who is still kind enough not to decide the cooperation between their companies.
"Mr Alex has arrived sir" Andi told Ardian's new assistant. Who is none other than his lecturer friend in the campus.
At first Ardian again raised a personal assistant from his trusted students in the campus. However Rara refuses if Ardian raises an assistant again, if the assistant is a woman. So Ardian was forced to replace it with his assistant who is now Andi.
That Rara did nothing else because she did not want her husband to be seduced by another woman. Remembering her former self who worked as her husband's personal assistant, which made them spend more time together and eventually made them both entangled in forbidden love. Because of the status of Ardiannyang at that time was a husband candidate Larisa.
Because that's what Rara was so afraid of. If Ardian is going back to make the mistake of re-entering his forbidden love with his new assistant. So Rara continues to warn Ardian to immediately replace his new assistant. So that now who became Ardian's personal assistant is Andi who is one of the lecturers in the campus where Ardian teaches.
That is why now Andi instead switched professions from a teacher to a personal assistant. Because Andi could not deny if he accepted the job that Ardian gave none other and not because of the salary that Ardian offered him.
Although maybe the personal assistant is another word from a maid who looks cooler. A maid or personal assistant makes almost no difference.
"Please allow him to enter my room. And try to provide the best service for him. Because he's a business partner and a friend to me" said Ardian gave orders to Andi.
Ardian was astonished by what he said. A fella? Is it true that Alex still considers him a friend after what happened?.
Ardian stopped thinking when he saw Alex who was now in his room.
Alex stepped towards Ardian who was staring at his arrival with a slight surprise, then they both shook hands like nothing had ever happened between them.
"How are you?" Alex then sat down right in front of Ardian. Seen if Ardian who seems still awkward to greet with Alex.
"I'm good. How about your own?" Ardian asked back to make Alex frown.
"Don't talk too formally like that with me. Aren't we friends" Alex said to make Ardian happy because Alex who was still kind enough to consider him a friend.
"I'm here to invite you to work together to grow our business abroad. I want to open every branch in the countries in the Asian region"
"But I wanted to ask you before. What exactly is it that kept you from severing cooperation between us after what I did?" Ask Ardian, it's actually not nice to have to discuss personal matters when they're talking about work. But Ardian still wanted to ask that. So that he knows what the real reason is so that Ardian does not need to guess again why Alex did not decide the cooperation between them.
Alex smiles at Ardian who is seen waiting for an answer from him.
"The reason is because of Larisa" Alex said briefly but managed to make Ardian now confused. What does Larisa have to do with their partnership? Ardian murmured in his heart.
"Why Larisa?" Ardian asked again clearly visible on his face he was now so enthusiastic about knowing what Larisa had to do with their cooperation.
"Larisa. I'm sorry if this hurt your feelings but now Larisa is my wife. He's mine" Alex said, making Ardian nod his head to justify what Alex said if it's true Larisa is now entirely his.
"Because it was Larisa who prevented me from severing our cooperation. Even though I was so excited to destroy your company. But Larisa prevented me from doing that because she did not want her husband to do something that would harm me" said Alex who managed to make Ardian surprised to know the real reason why Alex did not decide their cooperation.
"Keep Larisa said what else?" Ask Ardian again.
"Larisa told me everything. If that time wasn't your fault. But it's purely the fault of him that set you up, by putting in a stimulant so you want to do that with him. That's because Larisa keeps forcing you"
"But why did Larisa choose to marry me when she was pregnant with your child?"
"Because he wants to carry out the will of his Papah who wants if Larisa marries you. Because Papah Larisa feels indebted to you who always help him when Papah Larisa is sick" said Alex made slowly the puzzle in Ardian's head began to find answers.
"But because you made a mistake that day, Larisa chose me. I'm sorry if my words hurt but that's the truth" Alex said with a smile at Ardian, who stared badly at him after
knowing what the truth is.
"If you don't mind I'd like to ask you to please convey my apology to Larisa" Ardian said solemnly. Makes Alex nod his head at her words.
