"Hallo Ma, Pa," said Edward, who accepted his parents. He hugged both of them.
"Tumben how long have you been detained outside? Is there something you're hiding?" ask Mama Claudia to Edward. Edward laughed awkwardly and stiffly.
"There's no way E would want to hide something from you guys." Edward stared at Satria while taking a nervous breath.
"Yes, Auntie where possible, Mr. Edward dares to hide something from you."
Claudia squinted her eyes suspiciously. "This mama what is the time of not trusting your own child."
"Just smell something weird. You smell a woman's perfume" said Claudia.
"What time, Mah? Maybe the smell of perfume has Zahra," said Edward.
"Zahra?"
"I guess only Papah himself came here to discuss about the latest project, apparently not. Mom is coming too."
"Why can't it?"
"Of course I can" replied Edward hugging his mother's back. Satria held back her laughter seeing her boss afraid of being caught by her parents for having another woman.
"We came here to talk about your relationship with Soraya. Did you guys have a problem until the house guy said your wife hasn't come back?"
"Just misunderstand me" replied Edward trying to cover up the problem.
"Where do you know this?" flip Edward.
"Zahra tell me if you guys are fighting. He looked depressed from the last time mom met him."
Edward filled his lungs which felt tight. This is what he doesn't want. Zahra's psychological state is deteriorating. He was afraid that Zahra would lock herself in the room like she used to after the accident that left her legs paralyzed.
"He seems ordinary with me" replied Edward.
"He just doesn't want to see you sad" said Papa Adam. Mama Claudia nodded.
"Later I'll talk to Soraya. Right now, he needs time to be alone."
"Soraya is not a perfect wife but she has sacrificed a lot. She was willing to sacrifice her popularity as an artist for you anyway her parents are our business relationship" said Mama Claudia.
"If you divorce not only your household is at stake but also our business relationship with the Tjahyono family" continued Papa Adam.
"Defend for Zahra's sake, she desperately needs her mother."
Edward remained silent. In his heart he denied all the words of his parents but what his father said was true, Zahra needed Soraya.
Edward stared into his secret room. There was another life waiting for him, a new life that made him feel different. Feel more excited and happy. Will he hide Deya forever or will he tell everyone that Deya is another part of his life?
Yeah, he's gonna tell everyone just that he needs time to introduce them to Deya.
After a long and wide talk and some advice that his parents had said, his parents finally left the room.
"Mama and Papa will visit your house for the weekend and stay there."
"Yes, Ma" replied Edward.
"Patience in the face of everything. It's a test of life if you can miss everything well you'll get good things later. You've grown up knowing what to do." Papa Adam patted Edward on the shoulder. Edward smiled wryly.
"We go first."
"Satria go down to them."
"Good, sir."
After making sure his parents got into the elevator, Edward went straight to his room and opened the door of the secret room. He found Deya sitting on the edge of the bed.
"You awake?" edward asked, trying to hide his panic. He asked if Deya had heard the conversation with her parents.
"just now. You didn't wake me. I have to work, right?"
"No, I'm your employee. You have to be professional in treating me."
"Then make me a cup of coffee. Then get me lunch for you."
"In the company cafeteria?"
"Whatever you prepare I'll eat it as long as it's not roadside food, my stomach hurts if it eats it."
"Ish, even though there are many good foods on the side of the road." Deya felt offended that her mother was a roadside morning food vendor.
Deya was about to leave the room but Edward prevented her.
"Where are you going?"
"Say for coffee."
"Wash your face first" said Edward.
"Yes, forgot." Deya's looking for where the toilet is.
Edward pointed to a door that was almost the same color as the color of the wall. He opened the door for Deya.
Deya smiled broadly without showing her teeth and entered the room. He was about to close the door but Edward stopped him.
"What?" Edward looked at her with an expression that Deya did not understand. Although the man's face was smiling, there was sadness buried deep behind his dark brown eyes.
Deya kissed Edward's cheek. "It's working there." The woman then closed the bathroom door. Edward rubbed his cheek and smiled. His wife is so unique.
Edward calls Katrina into the room after Deya leaves to make coffee into the pantry.
"Deya is my second wife. I hope you can respect him but no one knows about this matter other than you and Satria. I told you because I believed you'd keep this a secret, so don't break my trust."
"I will always keep this a secret."
Katrina's face was shocked for a moment but came back ordinary. All these years he was with his Master, never once did his Master glance at a woman other than his own wife. He is always straight in his steps. It was thanks to the upbringing of his father who was also obedient in worship.
"This is the coffee" said Deya, who entered the room without knocking first. He looked at Katrina.
"Sister, Ms. Katrina," Deya felt bad for Katrina, afraid that the woman knew she was Edward's mistress.
"It's okay Deya. He knows who you are to me." Deya was confused as to why Edward was telling others.
Deya started to step awkwardly.
"Then I'll go out first, ma'am."
"Call him Deya just so that others do not suspect and act as usual as he is your subordinate" Edward ordered.
"Good, sir." Katrina came out of the room.
"Where's the meal for lunch soon."
"What do you want? Let me order that."
Then they ordered food. Deya remained in Edward's room to accompany and assist the man's work as he could. They also went back to the apartment.
They stopped by the supermarket to buy some kitchen necessities after that go home. Edward hugged Deya right away after they got home from work.
"I haven't had a shower yet."
"I don't care." The man stripped Deya of her clothes in the kitchen.
"It's the kitchen!" deya said gasping unprepared for Edward's attack. The lower part of his body is still sore now must be used again.
"I want to fuck here." Edward got rid of everything on the dinner table and put Deya there.
This guy is so quiet but so wild in lovemaking. Deya did not expect the fantasy in the man's brain so ...."
