"Dad."
"Arka? Are you here?"
Arka nodded. After seeing the doctor who had just finished examining his daddy come out of the hospital room, the man went straight to his daddy.
"What did the doctor say, daddy's condition has improved, right?" Arka asked right after the man arrived at her father's bedside.
The middle-aged man nodded with a smile. "The doctor said daddy's condition has gradually improved, it's just that he's not allowed to work anymore. Arka, it's good that you came here. I have something to talk to you about."
Seeing his father's face turn a little more serious made Arka curious about what his father wanted to tell him. The man was afraid his daddy would give him bad news about his condition.
"Last night Mr. Smith contacted me through Mr. Hakim, he said he wanted to meet with me because he was planning to invest in my company. Do you know what a big impact it would have on our company if Mr. Smith were to invest in our company?"
Arka nodded, waiting for his father's next words.
"Since daddy is still in the hospital and can't go home yet, I'll leave it all to you. But Arka, there is one problem that could make Mr. Smith cancel his intention to invest in our company."
"What?"
"Mr. Smith said he wanted to meet with Daddy and Jenny's father."
"Why bring Jenny's father? Didn't we let him go a long time ago?"
Arka's father nodded. It was true that he and Jenny's father had stopped working together for a very long time because of personal problems. It's just that Mr. Smith doesn't want to know about it. Mr. Smith is a very disciplined person, he is also a close friend of Jenny's father, even he used to know Mr. Smith because he was introduced by Jenny's father. Therefore, Mr. Smith wants to work with him on the condition that Jenny's father intervenes. But that seems to be a difficult condition considering his relationship with Jenny's father is now not good.
That was also the reason why Arka's father had wanted Arka to marry Jenny in the first place, all because Jenny's father's reach in the business field was very wide.
"Dad, you can tell Mr. Smith that we're not working with Jenny's father anymore."
"It's useless, Mr. Smith won't want to without Jenny's father's involvement."
"Then what do you mean, Dad? Beg Jenny's father to cooperate with us this time? I'm not willing, I don't want to deal with him again after what he did to our family."
A long sigh escaped Arka's father's mouth. To be honest, he also didn't want to deal with Jenny's father anymore, it was just that if this opportunity was thrown away then it was a pity because his company would definitely grow even more rapidly if Mr. Smith invested in his company.
"Dad is confused. Actually, we don't have to work with Jenny's father anymore, we just need to meet Mr. Smith by bringing Jenny's father, as a symbolic gesture that Jenny's father is still on good terms with us. That way Mr. Smith will want to invest in our company."
Arka was silent. Honestly, he was very confused right now. He knew very well how big Mr. Smith's impact was, but there was no way she could ask Jenny's father to help him meet Mr. Smith.
"Never mind, I'll think about what to do."
"No need, dad is sick so don't think too much. I'll think about it and find a way out. You can rest easy, I'll do my best to manage our company."
"Thank you Arka, I'm proud of you. I'm sorry, daddy always bothered you."
:::
Naya had no class today, so she decided to go visit her mother's house and pick up Kenzo. Honestly, one week apart from Kenzo made her miss him a lot.
After being at her mother's house for quite some time, Naya finally decided to say goodbye before her husband got home.
"I've ordered a taxi online, Mom. Arka is busy at the office because papa is sick."
"Yes, be careful on the road."
As soon as she saw that the taxi had arrived, Naya immediately got into the taxi with Kenzo.
The taxi ride home was very quiet. The driver was silent while Naya was also silent because Kenzo was sleeping on her lap.
The driver, who was focused on the road, occasionally glanced at Naya through the windshield. Naya, who realized it, asked why the driver kept glancing at her because honestly, it scared her. But the driver was silent.
For fear of something happening, Naya decided to get off before reaching home. "It's okay sir, I already paid through the app. Thank you."
Naya hurriedly got out of the online taxi car carrying Kenzo and the bag containing Kenzo's needs.
Once she found a place to sit, Naya called Arka to pick her up, but her husband's number was not active. Contacting Juna and Yuna was also inactive, it made her confused to go home because honestly she chose the wrong place to get off considering the place she was now quite quiet and there were rarely vehicles passing by.
"What should I do now?"
Until shortly afterward while confused about how to go home, Naya was surprised by a car that suddenly stopped right in front of her. Knowing this, she immediately stood up while holding Kenzo tightly.
"Naya? You were right, Naya."
"Zack?"
Again, for the umpteenth time, Zack suddenly came when she needed help.
"What are you doing here? I thought I had the wrong person."
"I was just at my mom's house. I took a taxi home but because the taxi driver scared me, I chose to get off here."
"Omg Naya, it's pretty quiet here. What if someone is mean to you, especially when you're carrying a child?"
Naya was silent, she also regretted getting off here. But she couldn't stay in the taxi for too long.
"Okay then I'll take you home, let's go."
Since there was no other option, Naya couldn't help but agree to Zack's offer. Along the way, Naya didn't forget to ask why Zack suddenly came because this always happened when she needed help. This time Zack said that he was accidentally passing that way.
Arka pulled Naya's hand a little roughly. He had just gotten home from work and saw his wife getting out of the car of the person he disliked the most, Zack."Where have you been? Why did you take Kenzo with you?" Arka asked in a high tone. The man looked upset and angry.You can see Naya's shocked reaction when she saw her husband. She didn't expect to arrive home at the same time as Arka. "Come in!" Before Naya could explain everything, Arka quickly pulled her by the hand to enter the house. But before she could bring him in, Zack suddenly held her back."Can't be rude, right?" Zack asked."What does that have to do with you? She's my wife and I have the right to do anything to her!""You may be her husband, but that doesn't mean you're free to be rude to her!"Seeing her husband and Zack start arguing, Naya immediately separated them. "Arka, let's go inside. Zack thank you for your help." Right after saying this Naya immediately brought her husband and Kenzo into the house.Zack
"Hello Arka, it's been a while since we met." Smiling happily, Jenny seats herself right next to Arka.Currently Arka is at a cafe, the man came there to meet with Jenny's father to discuss Mr. Smith. But who would have thought that Jenny's father was not alone, the middle-aged man came with Jenny.Honestly, Arka was quite upset. The man felt so uncomfortable being near Jenny because Jenny kept trying to get close to him, even the woman did not hesitate to touch his hand. Several times Arka reprimanded her but instead of stopping, Jenny seemed not to hear her. Because she was too tired of reprimanding Jenny, Arka finally decided to ignore her. Choosing to focus on her goal of meeting Jenny's father."Good afternoon Arka, sorry I'm a little late."With a faint smile, Arka nodded.Not wanting to waste too much time and linger with Jenny, Arka immediately began her chat. Without further ado, the man immediately tells her his purpose in bringing Jenny's father to meet."Your father contac
"Jenny's father wants to help us get a stock investment from Mr. Smith, but he has conditions."The next day Arka went straight to his father to talk about his conversation with Jenny's father yesterday. Arka told his father everything without exception. Including Jenny's father's wish for Arka to make Jenny his secretary."What?""Jenny's father wants Jenny to work in his office as my secretary."You can see how surprised Arka's father was when he heard Arka's words. Arka already had a secretary but why would Jenny want to be his secretary? And what does Jenny being Arka's secretary have to do with Mr. Smith wanting to invest in her company?"I also don't know what made Jenny's father want Jenny to be my secretary. It's just that he said that his work in her father's company must be interfered with if Mr. Smith wants to invest in our company.""That doesn't make sense. What's his intention? Did he deliberately make his daughter your secretary to spy on our company?""I don't know. He
In the end Arka is forced to accept Jenny as his secretary. He was forced to because if he refused then Jenny's father would not want to help him get investment from Mr. Smith.Honestly, the reason why Arka wanted it so badly was because besides Mr. Smith's huge impact, the financial condition of her father's company was not good. The stock price was down and Mr. Smith was offering a high-priced stock investment. That's why he wants Mr. Smith so badlyToday is Jenny's first day working as Arka's secretary. As usual, instead of focusing on work, she is busy approaching Arka. In fact, you could say that none of her work is correct.For example, right now. Earlier Arka asked Jenny to do some work but it turned out that none of her work was good. That of course made Arka angry. The man was already dizzy thinking about his problems with Naya, thinking about the economy of his company, now add Jenny."Can you work or not? None of your work has been right! If it continues like this there's n
"I want to go back to being a lecturer."Naya was surprised by what her husband had just said. How could he not, after only six months working at his father's company, Arka suddenly said that he wanted to become a lecturer again. It's not without reason why Arka wants to become a lecturer, it's because according to him working as a lecturer makes his time not exhausted for work, so there is still a lot of time he can spend with his wife and child.While working at his father's company, Arka felt that he spent more time in the office. He often came home late, which reduced his time with his wife and children.Actually, Arka could go home or go to the office at will, he could freely go home at any time because after all, the place where he works belongs to his parents. It's just that Arka's father is a very disciplined person, the middle-aged man will not allow Arka to do whatever he wants in the office. Because his father has also begun to improve his condition and can even be said to
"Juna, where are you going? It's already midnight.""I want to go to Arka's house. I want to catch the terrorist. I want to prove that I have nothing to do with him."Ever since the day Arka found out Juna's lie, he has been avoiding him. Recently, Arka even accused Juna of being related to the terrorist who has been terrorizing her house for the past few days. Because he felt he had nothing to do with the terrorist, Juna insisted on proving that he had nothing to do with the terrorist."But it's already night. Did you know the terrorist would come again tonight? Even if you did, what if Arka asks you where you knew the terrorist was coming from? That will only increase her suspicion."Juna was silent. What Yuna said was true. If Juna came to Arka's house right when the terrorist came, it might just increase Arka's suspicion."I know you just want to clear your name from Arka's accusations, just don't be too rash. Let's find another way to prove it. It's late, you should rest, tomorro
Since Juna became a lecturer at the campus where he teaches, the attention of female students who are usually always focused on Arka is now starting to decrease. Some of the female students prefer to approach Juna because Juna's response can be said to be more welcoming than Arka.At first Arka didn't really care about it, the man was even happy because he was no longer bothered by the students, but increasingly he also felt annoyed at how Juna was praised by many people.Take this example. Arka had just finished teaching, usually the students immediately approached him before he left the classroom, but not this time. Seeing Juna just walk past their class, the students who saw him through the window immediately rushed out of the class to catch up with him. "Where are you going?! Stop!" Arka shouted right before the students managed to get out of the class."Why sir, the study hour is over, right? We want to go to Mr. Juna."Hearing Juna's name mentioned, Arka's blood instantly boile
"Mr. Arka! Mr. Arka!"Arka, who was chatting with one of the lecturers, immediately turned his head as soon as his name was called. The man smiled as soon as he saw several female students approaching him."What's wrong?" Asked Arka in a tone that was made as friendly as possible.Don't ask why Arka was trying to be a little friendly, of course because the man didn't want his fans to switch to Juna who they said was much friendlier than him."Mr. Arka must see this. Look at the behavior of Mr. Arka's wife. Earlier we saw her with Mr. Juna and then Mr. Juna gave her a letter and chocolate."Hearing the students' words made Arka curious. The man immediately saw the photo that the student had taken when Juna returned the letter and chocolate to Naya.You can see Arka's shocked reaction when she saw the photo. The man was not only surprised, he was also angry to see it. Even his hands were clenched tightly into fists."Where did you see it?""In the corridor near the campus garden."Right
“Mauren is missing? How could that be? Was she kidnapped?”Juna was now at his house. The man had just told Yuna that Mauren was missing. Earlier after receiving threats from Zack, Juna and Naya immediately rushed to Mauren’s house but it seemed like Zack had already managed to take Mauren away because when they got there, they didn’t find Mauren anywhere.Mauren’s friend had said that Mauren was going home to get her stuff. But it turned out that they followed. Mauren was no longer there.“It seems like Mauren was kidnapped by Zack. Earlier Naya and I had managed to find evidence of his crime, he didn’t accept it and asked me to return the evidence. I didn’t want to then he threatened to take Mauren away because Mauren would be needed as a witness later. But it turned out that Zack had already taken her away.”“Then what? We have to find Mauren.”“I was thinking about that too.”While Juna and Yuna were chatting, suddenly they heard a very loud scream. The screams came from Naya's h
Like a maniac, Juna didn't stop punching Zack in the face. The man really finished Zack off brutally.Moments ago, when she saw Zack wanting to do something insolent to Naya through a hidden camera, Juna immediately got out of the car and broke down the door of Zack's house. Without mercy, the man finished Zack by hitting and kicking him. You can even see Zack's face full of blood due to Juna's actions."Juna already! Already, he'll die!" Naya shouted."Let him die, he will die in my hands!"Seeing Juna already wanted to hit Zack again, Naya immediately held her back. "Already, he can't die. He has to take responsibility for what he did. He has to go to jail!""You got away this time, but after this I will never let you go free. I will put you in jail. Remember that!"After getting everything she was looking for, Juna took Naya away.Moments after Juna and Naya left, Zack, who had been lying on the floor, immediately sat up. He winced in pain as he rubbed the corner of his lip which w
"Are you sure you can go down alone? Shall I accompany you? Zack is very dangerous, what if you get hurt?"Juna and Naya were now in front of Zack's house. Armed with the address Mauren's friend gave them, they finally found the house.Naya plans to go down alone while Juna waits in the car. Today they plan to look for evidence of Zack's crimes, which is the reason why Naya is desperate to go there. In addition, Naya also wanted Arka to be free and the truth to be revealed."Sure, if you come I'll have trouble finding evidence. You can rest assured that I can take care of myself."Although it was hard to let Naya go to bed alone, Juna finally left her alone. But before that, she gave Naya a listening device and a hidden camera that she deliberately attached to Naya, so that she could monitor Naya and make sure she was okay.Once all the preparations were complete, Naya got out of the car. She had to walk a little further to Zack's house because they deliberately parked a little furthe
"Please come in."Naya slowly walked into the room. She could see that Mauren was lying unconscious on the bed with his hands tied.A few moments ago Mauren suddenly screamed while hurting himself, seeing that his friend's parents immediately tied him up to stop hurting himself. Because at the time of the incident Mauren's friend was with Naya, Naya also went home."Mauren's condition is getting worrying. She often said that Zack came to see her and wanted to harass her again. But my parents and I didn't see Zack coming."Naya honestly didn't expect Zack to be that evil. Whether what her friend Mauren said was true or not, if it was true then Zack was truly evil. Naya thought he was a good guy all along. No wonder Arka used to forbid her from meeting Zack."Should we take Mauren to the spikiater?""I don't have the heart to take him there. He's not crazy, Mauren is normal.""That's not what I meant, I meant that Mauren can be treated quickly. I'm afraid it will get worse if left untre
"Yuna must have told you?"A long breath came out of Naya's mouth. She had guessed that Yuna would tell Juna about her taking the weight loss drug. It turned out to be true, even on the same day Juna came straight to her.Just like Yuna earlier, Juna also scolded Naya. The man forced Naya to stop taking the drug because it was a dangerous drug. No doctor had even suggested taking such a drug."If you don't want to, I'll tell Arka. I will also tell your mother, and even Arka's parents," Juna threatened.You can see how upset Naya was when she was threatened by Juna. This is what she doesn't like about Juna, the man always imposes his will. Even though this time it was all for Naya's own good."You can't threaten me like that!""Why not? You doubt me? Okay, I'll come to the police station right now to tell Arka. After that, I'll go to your mother's house and Arka's parents. How about it? Do you want to quit or not?"Again, Naya let out a long breath. She was forced to agree to Juna's wi
It doesn't feel like time is going by so fast. It's been one month since Arka was in prison. Although time goes fast, for Arka and Naya it feels like a long time.During this month, Naya never missed coming to the police station to meet her husband. She didn't stop encouraging her husband to get through this problem. Seeing Naya looking quite healthy made Arka calm. What worried Arka during his time in prison was the state of his wife and child. He was afraid his wife would think too much about him and get too wrapped up in her grief, but after seeing Naya in good health every time he saw her, Arka was relieved.Arka always thought Naya followed everything he said. Starting from living happily, eating regularly, not thinking much about her and most importantly living with her parents. Whenever Naya came over Arka always asked whether Naya lived with her mother or not and Naya always nodded.But who would have thought that the reality was the opposite. Naya didn't really follow everyt
"Good afternoon. My name is Juna, I'm a friend of Arka and Naya."Juna is currently at Arka's parents' house. Incidentally, Arka's father had just returned from work, so the man could meet Arka's parents.Juna's arrival seemed to be welcomed by Arka's parents."So, the purpose of my coming here is to deliver a message from Arka.""What message? Does that child not want to meet his parents so much that he has to leave a message with you?" Arka's father asked in a slightly raised tone."It's not like this. How to say it. I actually have something to tell you. Arka is currently detained at the police station, so she can't meet you."You can see how shocked Arka's mother was when she heard the news Juna had just said. The middle-aged woman even burst into tears after learning that her only child was currently in prison.Arka's father, on the other hand, did not seem surprised. The middle-aged man already knew that Arka was being held at the police station. That's why he wasn't so surprise
"Juna, why are you looking like that?"With a sluggish face and a shaky walk Juna entered the house. Yuna, who happened to have just opened the door for him, was confused to see her husband suddenly express like that after receiving a call from someone who Yuna did not know.Juna sat himself on the sofa, the man was silent for a long time, making Yuna confused and curious about what had happened to make her husband suddenly behave like this."Juna, don't make me curious. What's wrong? Who just called you?""Arka is in prison.""Arka's in jail?"Juna nodded. "Naya just called me. She told me that Arka has been named a suspect and is going straight to jail. Today Mauren's post-mortem came out, and it shows that Mauren has been abused, not just once but many times."You can see how shocked Yuna was after hearing that. The woman did not expect this to happen at all. She was sure that Arka had never done that, but why did the post-mortem show that?"Juna, is it possible that it wasn't Arka
Today, Mauren's post-mortem results will be released. The results will be immediately taken by the police so that nothing untoward happens.If the post mortem results are out, it means that the time given for Arka to look for evidence of the man's innocence is over. And until now Arka has not found any evidence that can prove if he is completely innocent.As said earlier, if the post-mortem results are taken directly by the police, it means that Arka and Mauren must come to the police station to see the results.By now Arka, accompanied by Naya, was already at the police station. Mauren was also already there, the woman came accompanied by her friend and the family of her friend. However, Mauren needed protection in case Arka went berserk and attacked her again.Now everyone was in a police station room. It could be seen how tense the atmosphere was at the moment. Mauren, the woman really looked very tense, honestly she was scared because after all her accusations were actually false,
