Inside the mansion in one of the rooms, Kenan was soaking in the super luxurious bathtub with a glass of drink in his hand. His eyes were closed as he savored the victory he had just won.
Today several television news outlets have broadcast the arrest of Wisnu Wiratama in one of the hotel rooms. Not because of embezzlement of company money but drugs. Wisnu was not alone but with several comfort women.
A satisfied smile made Kenan's face excited. He imagined the embarrassment of the Wiratama family and how his sharp-mouthed wife would deal with the media who would not stop harassing her until Kenan stopped her.
For a long time Kenan enjoyed his alone time until he heard a ringing tone from the telephone set on top of the bathroom shelf.
"Kenan! Have you seen the news about Wisnu?"
There was no opening greeting when Anjani's voice rang in Kenan's ears.
"I have and I'm very ashamed of it," Kenan replied.
"Kenan, I beg you to help Wisnu get out of police custody. He is your father-in-law and you should do what's best for him!"
Kenan smiled sarcastically at Anjani's command. "I would have helped if only Wis
nu wasn't involved with drugs."
"You mean you refused?"
"That's right. I would have helped Wisnu out of trouble had he done anything else. You must know the risks I would have to face if I got involved in it," Kenan replied cautiously.
"You are his son-in-law. How could you not care?"
"How many people know that I'm his son-in-law? Not many and I refuse to be humiliated by Wisnu's immoral behavior!" Kenan refused firmly.
"Kenan, I believe Wisnu is being framed. He is a good man and has never done anything against the law in his life."
"How do you know? I hope you can find a lawyer who can commute Vishnu's sentence."
Heartlessly, Kenan hung up the phone and laughed loudly at the thought of Anjani being frustrated at not being able to save her husband.
"How can you get a lawyer when you don't have a dime," Kenan taunted between laughs.
Kenan was still savoring his victory while in one of the rooms in the rental house, Andien stared at the television screen with tears streaming down her face.
"How could you do it, Kenan."
Andien moved from the television to the mirror. Her face was still covered in bandages after her second surgery because she wanted perfection while no one knew who she really was.
"Aunty, can I come in?"
Andien turned her head as soon as she heard Keanu's voice from outside the door. The boy was the only one who always came to her house because until now Andien didn't have anyone she could make friends with.
"Come in!"
The door opened followed by the appearance of Kenan wearing a trouser suit and shirt. He looked neat and adorable.
"Where are you going?"
"To the mall. Do you want to come?" asked Keanu.
"Unfortunately, I can't go anywhere yet. It must be nice to be accompanied by doctor Hanna," muttered Andien.
"He uh. Aunt Hanna is the kindest aunt. Aunt Hanna always defends me when papa is angry," said Keanu, making Andien laugh.
Andien knew Hanna after being introduced by Erlangga after she was discharged from the hospital after her first surgery and it was Hanna who suggested to Andien that she have further surgery to make her appearance more perfect.
"You won't refuse if we take you out later, right?"
"Hemm."
After getting an answer from Andien, Keanu ran outside and Andien watched Keanu until the boy crossed the fence.
"Hay," Hanna greeted Andien who appeared to greet Keanu.
Andien returned Hanna's greeting with a wave and watched Hanna walk towards where she stood.
"How are you?" greeted Hanna kindly.
"Fine."
"Can I ask you something?"
"Go ahead."
"You've been here for almost six months but we don't know how to address you. Are you seriously not going to tell us your name?"
Andien's eyes smiled and liked Hanna's statement. The woman in front of her always spoke to the point so Andien thought Hanna had nothing to hide.
"Andien. You can call me Andien," Andien replied.
"It's a real name, isn't it?" Hanna tested.
"I'm confused about using an alias. Just having a new face takes time to legalize let alone a new name," Andien replied.
"I like the way you think, Andien. I want us to exchange ideas more often because I think we both have practical minds."
"I'm always here in case you need someone to talk to," Andien said sincerely.
"Thank you. I'll be going now. I hope we can go out together, Andien."
Andien nodded when Hanna decided to leave and then Andien entered the house and locked the door tightly.
Inside the room, Andien watched the news again about Vishnu's arrest but on the television screen was Kenan with a beautiful woman whom Andien didn't recognize.
"Who is that woman? Is she Kenan's girlfriend?"
Andien closed her eyes trying to feel the heartache of jealousy from seeing Kenan with another woman in a very intimate manner. However, all Andien felt was anger and the feeling of wanting to avenge Kenan's actions on her father.
"It turns out that my heart was not affected by seeing Kenan making out with another woman. Has my heart never accepted Kenan since the beginning?"
"There is always something new in everything that happens. Mr. Wiratama may be a successful businessman but it is possible that he has another side that keeps him satisfied," Kenan replied when reporters asked him.
"Has Mr. Wiratama's arrest had any effect on you? Didn't you just enter into a cooperation?"
"All the cooperation that we have agreed to continues and I don't want any changes. This company belongs to Wisnu Wiratama and I will definitely take care of it," Kenan replied firmly.
"Will you hand over to Lord Wiratama's only daughter?"
Andien held her breath waiting for Kenan's answer. She had known Kenan for a long time and it was not unusual for Kenan to speak harshly to the other person.
"I will definitely hand over after we meet. Unfortunately I don't know where she is," Kenan replied.
"You've never met him?"
Kenan shook his head and walked away, not giving the reporter a chance to ask any more questions.
"You don't know me, Kenan," Andien whispered.
All the identity cards Andien ever had were left in the hotel room and Andien had no intention of taking them especially since Erlangga and Hanna had promised to help Andien get a new identity card according to the face she currently had.
Andien knew she couldn't get her savings at the bank if she used a new identity but she also knew all the savings she had were connected to Kenan. The only thing Kenan couldn't trace was the shareholding in Kenan's own company under an assumed name.
"I wonder if you kept your promise, Kenan. It must be nice to see you hand over everything you've taken to its rightful owner."
Doctor Erlangga's hands moved carefully over Andien's face. His eyes did not even blink when all the bandages covering Andien's face were removed."Beautiful and perfect," said Hanna who stood behind Erlangga."Looking at Andien's face now I can imagine what her face used to look like," Erlangga said to himself."Is Doctor Hanna telling the truth?" asked Andien stiffly."Of course. Although Doctor Erlangga is a plastic surgeon, the results will definitely not be as perfect as what I see now," praised Hanna.Andien looked at Erlangga who had been staring at her intensely. "How?""Hanna has answered your question, Andien. You don't need another surgery," Erlangga said, confirming Hanna's opinion."Thank you, but the doctor doesn't mind the payment method I gave, right?" Andien asked hesitantly."No, he didn't. It's all according to your wishes even though I told you that you didn't need to do it," Erlangga replied."What do you plan to do next?" asked Hanna after Andien sat on the chair
Andien trembled and chose to lean against the wall of her room once she was outside."What happened to Mama?" she asked herself.Andien hoped Kenan would come out soon so she could go back to see how Anjani was doing, but almost 15 minutes had passed and there was no sign that Kenan was coming out and neither was Hanna."What is Kenan doing inside? I hope Kenan isn't giving Hanna a hard time," muttered Andien as she closed her eyes."Tante Andien?"Hanna opened her eyes as she heard a child's voice calling her name and she smiled as she saw Keanu standing in front of her hesitantly."Uh, what are you doing here?" asked Andien as she knelt down in front of the boy."Did you forget that it's my birthday today and you promised to take me for ice cream?" asked Keanu in a reprimanding tone."Oh my god. You forgot. Why don't we wait for Aunt Hanna?"Keanu nodded. "Yes."Inside the infirmary Hanna was still trying to explain to Kenan that the man's order didn't apply as long as she put Anjan
Hanna looked at Andien like she was seeing her for the first time while the face in front of her was the face made by Erlangga, a renowned plastic surgeon.Hanna shook her head as she did not know Andien personally and her background."So you are Kenan's wife? How long have you known him?"Andien smiled. She wasn't a fool who couldn't catch Kenan and Hanna's gestures when talking in the treatment room earlier. As a doctor, Hanna wouldn't have spoken to Kenan like that especially since Kenan was a man of considerable influence."Not long compared to you," Andien replied, raising both of Hanna's eyebrows."Me? What does that have to do with me?""I don't know because the only one who can answer that is you," Andien replied carefully.Hanna smiled then shook her head. "I only got to know him when he forced me to handle Mrs. Anjani who he said was his closest confidante.""Really?"Hanna nodded then began to explain how she opposed Kenan's wishes to keep Anjani from being moved to a bette
Andien walked according to the directions given by the female employee she met for the first time. Andien's pair of black eyes scanned every side of the room without making anyone suspicious.Andien shook her head while inwardly complaining that she didn't really know Kenan that well.Andien stood waiting for the elevator doors to open when someone stood next to her. Andien glanced over and was surprised that the person standing was Alinda, a friend who had warned her about Kenan."What is Alinda doing?" Andien asked herself.Andien was still thinking about Alinda's presence in Kenan's company when the woman turned her head and looked at Andien with a furrowed brow."Have we met?" Alinda asked.Andien shook her head. "I don't think so."In silence they stepped into the elevator although Andien tried not to look at Alinda, her curiosity made her do it again until Alinda smiled coldly and stiffly."We've never met but your behavior makes me suspicious. Tell me what you want!"Andien too
Andien left Kenan's office with a million questions hanging unanswered. Andien didn't understand why Kenan insisted on persuading her to give up the small, unexposed company."What is Kenan hiding? Does the company have historical value?" Andien asked curiously.Andien immediately contacted Tom and tried to find out about the company, which was already half-owned."Why not? I don't believe that you have a sentimental nature, Andien. Don't even think that you regret buying their shares," Tom said in surprise."How could I possibly regret it? By the way, do you know of any shipping companies that are in trouble?" Andien asked, making Tom gasp."A shipping company or a shipyard?" asked Tom after his surprise wore off."The shipyard that went bankrupt," Andien replied confidently."How much money do you have?""Enough to take over a company that's no longer in production."Tom laughed because ever since he started working with Andien, she always gave him surprises that didn't make sense.
Alinda's statement disturbed Kenan's heart and mind so he fell silent while Alinda watched with interest."Have you found out how Andien is doing? Where is she now and why is she still hiding to see her parents suffer?" Alinda asked quietly.Alinda realized that bothering Kenan about Andien would make him remember Kenan's mistress."No, but I'm sure she'll come to see me. How can any child make their parents suffer," Kenan replied firmly."It's been a year, Kenan, and you didn't suspect that Andien was plotting to get back at you. I know Andien and she never lets anyone suffer for her let alone her parents," Alinda explained."You have made Wisnu lose his self-respect by exposing him in the national media. Andien can do anything even she can forget the heartache of your insults and betrayal," Alinda said again."Good. I wonder whether or not she deserves to stand in front of me. You must know that being my opponent requires extra energy," Kenan replied sharply."Are you waiting for he
Kenan continued to watch Andien as she walked away. Andien didn't seem interested in saying goodbye or saying goodbye, so Kenan could only sigh."Why do I remember Andien? Is it because they have the same name?" Kenan said softly.As if to replace Andien's position, Kenan stared at the sea and memories of Andien came crashing back to him.The first time Kenan met Andien was two years ago when Andien started working at his company as an intern. Her beauty and friendly and sociable nature made Andien favored by the employees in Kenan's company."Mr. Kenan? May I speak with you?"Kenan turned his head and saw Alinda with a beautiful and sweet girl."What is it?""Thank you for accepting Andien as an intern at this company," Alinda said kindly.Kenan looked at the girl standing next to Alinda quizzically."I don't deal with employees, let alone interns. You can just thank the hrd department," Kenan replied curtly."I know but Andien adores Tuan and wishes she could get to know him," Alind
Since getting information about Andien, Kenan has been eager to pay attention to Andien. However, Kenan's excessive behavior makes Andien retreat slowly.That day Kenan called Andien to come to his office, but Andien only came before break time, making Kenan angry."Who told you to come?" asked Kenan angrily when Andien was already in his room."Milla told me that you wanted to see me," Andien replied calmly."Unfortunately I don't need you anymore. You may leave!" Kenan ordered."I don't know what you're calling me for. Then I'll excuse myself because it's time for an employee break."Kenan expected Andien to be persuasive and apologize profusely, but what he received was a statement that seemed to blame him."Andien!" called Kenan as Andien turned around."Yes?"Andien turned back to Kenan with an innocent and unsmiling face, making Kenan have to think hard to keep Andien in his office longer."I want to know what you usually do during your break time," Kenan said which resulted in
It's been almost a week since Sheila and Alinda took to the stage and several TV stations have invited them as the persecuted."When are you going to clear up all the fake news?" asked Tom impatiently."Tomorrow."Tom's eyebrows rose, his eyes fixed on Andien in disbelief. "Are you serious or are you just telling me to stop asking?""Serious. I've been quiet for a long time," Andien replied as she rose from her seat."Good."There was no need for an explanation or a statement from Andien and Tom didn't need one. Tom believed that Andien could manage without his help, but Tom was always ready if Andien needed help."May I know the place and time?""It is in the garden of the hospital where I operated and where Anjani breathed her last," Andien replied, taking Tom by surprise."Have you spoken to Erlangga?"A nod was all Andien gave, and Tom didn't ask much more after receiving confirmation of when Andien would clarify the news that Sheila had deliberately created. Tom hoped that the ch
Andien was disappointed that Kenan had allowed Alinda to stay in his house, even though he didn't care if she just stayed or took things that didn't belong to her."You did it on purpose to make Anjani's life uncomfortable. Why don't you just tell Stella to stay there so that Anjani doesn't have to be killed by Alinda," Andien said angrily."Don't be so stingy, Andien. Alinda is your brother," Kenan reminded him."Stingy? You don't even know who Alinda is, Kenan!" cried Andien, hurt."I doubt you even know Alinda, despite your close relationship. Did you know that Alinda is Wisnu's daughter by another woman?" Andien sneered, taking Kenan by surprise.Kenan knew Alinda because she hated Wisnu so much, and Kenan considered Alinda a worthy ally to destroy Wisnu.However, Kenan does not know that Alinda is Wisnu's biological daughter, while Mark's confession and the results of Kenan's investigation show that Andien is not Wisnu's biological daughter. So who is guilty?"You're not joking a
Andien's eyes flashed sharply as she approached the waitress she had just seen."Who are you and who told you to work here?" Andien asked inquisitively."I... I work here under the orders of Mr Kenan," the servant replied with her head bowed."Kenan? What right has Kenan to make you work here? What is your name?""My name is Lastri. I started working here two months ago.""Where is the old waitress?" Andien asked urgently.Lastri shook her head. "There was no one here when I arrived. Mr Kenan said I'd only be in charge of cleaning until Madame Andien returns."Strange. Andien knew the servant who worked for her parents very well, and the servant had even waited for her when there had been no news of her departure."Has anyone else ever come to this house?" Andien asked curiously.Lastri nodded, drawing Andien's attention. "During the time I worked here, there were several people who came to ask for Mrs Anjani. As per Mr Kenan's orders, I can only answer that I don't know," Lastri repl
Andien left while Alinda laughed with satisfaction. Alinda had never seen Andien's angry face before. The Andien Alinda knew was a woman who was very good at hiding her emotions, even when Kenan betrayed her."What are you doing?"Alinda looked away to see Mark behind her."What do you think?" Alinda replied.Mark gave Alinda a sharp look and then warned her. "Don't let me know you're doing anything stupid, Alinda. I'll make sure you don't even get out of here alive.""Who do you think you are, an important person? You're such an outcast that even Andien doesn't trust you!" sneered Alinda.Mark looked at Alinda suspiciously. "Compared to you, I still have a job and many people trust me. As for you, you're a parasite that needs to be exterminated!"Alinda smiled, "You're wrong, Mark. All this time I have let Andien think she was winning. Now it's time for me to take control of everything Andien has. Soon Andien will be a hobo after Kenan dumps her.""A hobo? I think you're the one who'
Andien smiled at Sarah's reply. All the employees of Kenan's company knew that she was Andien, but Andien doubted that Sarah knew that she was the woman who had been married to Kenan."Have you ever been betrayed, Sarah?" Andien asked, lifting her chin."No." "You wouldn't say that if you knew me.""I know who you are, Andien. You used the name Anggela to get into Kenan's company. I'm so disappointed that you're not as good as Kenan thought you were," Sarah reproached enthusiastically.Andien laughed sarcastically, "I'm afraid Kenan can't see your true nature, Sarah!"You are wrong to equate me with Mark. I care about Kenan because he's a good man who always takes care of his employees," Sarah said angrily."I suggest you mind your manners so others don't misinterpret them."Andien looked around and realised that there was no way she could enter Kenan's office with Sarah in front of her. There was no choice but to go back and continue her work."I want you to tell Kenan that I'd lik
Kenan's sardonic grin took on a different look. Crueler and more dangerous than before, it made Andien recoil without realising it."Are you afraid?""No."Andien tried to control her feet as Kenan approached. Andien watched as Kenan continued to approach until he was half an arm's length away."I have to admit you're good, Andien. You can even make me take my eyes off you. What do you want? To avenge the death of your parents?" Kenan mocked."That's right. Only I'm doing it to the perpetrators, not to their descendants," Andien replied firmly."Must I prevent them from dying so that I can avenge Vishnu's actions? You're too naive and blind, Andien!"Kenan turned away from Andien. There was a regret that Kenan couldn't tell Andien."Is my mother guilty? Anjani didn't even know what Vishnu was doing behind her back. But you... you even gave Anjani a huge punishment!" Andien shouted.They fell silent, then Andien threw a piece of paper she had obtained from the registrar's office on the
Hanna continued to express her heartbreak and disappointment until she realised that Andien was just looking down."Andien... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so hard on you. I just ....""I understand, and you don't have to apologise to me. I'm just sorry and ashamed that I didn't have the courage to act like you," Andien said quietly."Now you're back and I've heard from the doctor who treated you that your health is better. What are you going to do when you meet Kenan? Do you intend to repair your relationship?" asked Erlangga after Hanna had chosen to remain silent."I will return to get back everything Kenan took from Vishnu and to settle my relationship with Kenan," Andien replied firmly."You intend to file for divorce?" asked Hanna hesitantly."That's right, and I'm sure Kenan has no reason to refuse, especially since I have some evidence of his evil plans for me," Andien said confidently."Have you thought this through?" asked Erlangga."I have."Andien had many plans to get
"Did you know that Mark became Alinda's lawyer?"Andien lifted her face and looked at Tom who had just entered her office.It had been a year since Andreas had left Kenan and during that time Andreas had kept Andien away from any news concerning Kenan, especially after Andien had become ill again.Andien frowned and asked, "Have they made up?""Hmm."Tom looked at Andien for a long time, as if to make sure that Andien was ready to hear the news of Mark's betrayal."Mark is working with Alinda now. According to the information I have, Mark has been fired by Kenan," Tom said."Good. I applaud Kenan for finally seeing the snake in his company," Andien replied calmly."Did you know that Mark wasn't honest with Kenan?""Who didn't know? I think Kenan just turned a blind eye because Mark was his best friend," Andien replied.Andien was relieved that Mark's cover had been blown without their intervention. Andien didn't know that Andreas had already taken action against Kenan and exposed Mark
Kenan had made the final decision that anyone who had sold some of their shares at a lower price would only receive a share of the profits according to the value of the shares they had sold."We don't agree! You're no longer the majority shareholder with the right to decide your own policy," argued one of the shareholders present."I have the right because I still own more than 60% of the shares," Kenan argued.They looked at each other and regretted that they had forgotten that Kenan was the founder of the company while they had sold their shares to other parties."Now I'm making it clear that I don't need you in this company anymore. You have only one choice, sell the remaining shares to me or you will only get the profit according to the price you sold?" suggested Kenan threateningly."And if we refuse?" they challenged."I will bankrupt the company after publicly exposing your actions. We'll see which of the employees is most responsible," Kenan bluffed.There was no compromise fo
