“One of your wishes has come true, Helena,” Michael whispered.When Helena glanced at the man who had been at her side, there was a faint smile. It wasn't a smile that meant anything bad. It was a smile that celebrated the joy of what had happened. It was a smile that symbolized the satisfaction that represented Helena for today.“Are you satisfied?” Michael asked once again.“I don't know. Can it really be called satisfaction and joy? But one thing I'm sure of is that I can at least maintain Nakia's dignity in front of the public. I don't want them to look down on Nakia like that just because I was seen in public?”Michael chuckled. “I think your name is starting to be talked about in the ranks of other businessmen, Helena. You weren't afraid to face them even though you could have used your father's influence. But you chose a different path.”Helena smiled slightly. Once again her attention was drawn to the two people still standing in the corner of the room. It seemed that there we
Even though everything was over, there were no more voices of other people with cameras or mics asking endless questions, as well as some things that made his head dizzy, for Arslan all this really made him want to immediately sit down and lean back. If possible, just lay down for a moment. While thinking what steps he would do.“Please.” One of the officers opened the door for Arslan and Deny. They were temporarily in the same cell. Before later they were placed in special cells for prisoners related to corruption cases and other criminal offenses.“Tsk! Does the room you have to be this narrow?” asked Deny Jacob in an annoyed tone. “You know, I have a history of asthma. If my asthma flares up, I'll make sure you pay dearly.”The officer just grinned. “We're sorry. If your asthma flares up, the doctor here is willing to examine you. You can rest easy.”Deny growled in annoyance and pushed Arslan who was slightly blocking his way to the small room where they would be staying temporari
“Have a seat, Mr. Tan,” the doctor said, inviting Arslan to sit down after entering a room that was quite far apart from the operating room.Due to Arslan's status as one of the detainees, there were two supervisory officers following him. But Arslan had no desire to cause trouble in this hospital. The only thing that bothered him was Tiara's condition. According to the doctor, her condition was quite alarming.Even so, the surgery process that his wife underwent went quite smoothly. But why did the doctor who handled Tiara call him? Isn't that an indication that something quite alarming is happening?“Thank you, Doc.” Arslan tried to remain calm.Meanwhile, the doctor seemed to be busy taking some files before finally sitting in front of Arslan. “I'm glad that the surgery that Mrs. Tiara underwent ended well.” His face was serious, bringing new tension in the midst of an atmosphere that was not yet completely calm. “But there's still a phase that Ibu Tiara has to go through before it
Meanwhile in the hospital waiting room, Deny Jacob could not contain his frustration. This condition made him even more depressed and uncomfortable. He felt like a stranger trapped in a place that didn't belong to him. Moreover, this was a hospital. He hated places where the smell of medicines and disinfectants was strong.“How long will I wait here?” asked Deny as he ruffled his hair. He no longer thought about his appearance especially since he officially wore the prisoner's uniform. Ignoring the fact that he had always paid attention to how neatly he was dressed.“Be patient, Mr. Deny,” said the lawyer accompanying Deny Jacob and Arslan Tan. “The doctor and Mr. Tan are still talking about Mrs. Tiara's condition.”Deny let out a long sigh. “Did something really bad happen to my daughter?”The lawyer smiled slightly. “Nothing, Mr. Deny. But you'd better calm down. Some of the supervisors who came along are also keeping an eye on your behavior while you're out of custody.”Deny snorte
Two weeks have passed since the court verdict against Arslan and Deny Jacob. Despite their verdicts, news of the Tan family scandal still reverberates across the media. The family, once known as one of the most respected families, was now the subject of public scrutiny and speculation on various platforms. Helena found her phone screen full of notifications for online articles about the family's troubles.“Thomas really doesn't let his quarry off easy.” Helena chuckled. Her eyes remained fixed on her phone. While taking a sip of the coffee she had ordered, her fingers skillfully swiped across the flat screen of her sophisticated gadget. Reading one news story after another that tirelessly talked about the downfall of the Tan family.It seemed Helena wasn't the only one interested in keeping up with the news about the Tan family. Oh, my. Helena had never thought of helping the family out of the trouble they were in. Why wouldn't she be so busy with Nakia and the many work programs she
“I don't know what your plans are with Mr. Tommy, but it seems a little serious?” Wilna asked in a cautious tone. She didn't want to make Helena uncomfortable because this question was a slight reference to Tiara and Helena's ex-husband Arslan Tan.“I don't know. What angle do you see it from. Whether it's serious or not,” Helena said casually. Her eyes were still focused on the files in front of her. A few times she also sighed and re-centered herself so that what she wanted could be done immediately by all the staff who worked together under her orders. “What about the marketing team's research? Any problems?”“Nothing so far. In a month we can prepare for the launch of the newest unit.” Wilna smiled broadly. “Our hard work is finally paying off.”“That's to be expected, isn't it?” Helena let out a long sigh. She took off her glasses and closed her eyes a little just to get rid of the fatigue she was experiencing. “Maybe things didn't work out the way I wanted them to but seeing how
A month has passed since the birth of a baby boy named Andy Tan, a child who is now the only light in Tiara's stressful life. The baby makes Tiara happy even though she is still physically weak, and her movements are limited due to the difficult labor process. She never imagined not being able to meet the child she had conceived.When she first saw the baby, Tiara cried non-stop for several minutes. Besides being touched, Tiara felt grateful that for the first time there was something that made her feel more alive. The doctor suggested that Tiara should take a lot of rest and maintain a good diet. Tiara's condition was quite life-threatening after giving birth some time ago.Thankfully, everything has passed and Tiara can return home feeling happy. Although it is incomplete without Arslan's presence, Tiara tries to accept it. Although there are many pressures in Tiara's life now, she feels that the most stressful thing is not only the postpartum recovery - but also the presence of Mir
A week has passed since Tiara received a summons from the police regarding Helena's accident. Tiara's days since then have been filled with endless anxiety. The fear and anxiety that gnawed at her mind affected everything, including her health and comfort while sleeping.Tiara couldn't even close her eyes peacefully; images of bad possibilities kept haunting her, keeping her awake at night. I don't know how many times she had nightmares and woke up in the middle of the night, then could no longer close her eyes just to sleep for a moment. Even the sleeping pills prescribed by the doctor had little effect. Her anxiety even affected her little baby, Andy, who cried constantly as if he could sense his mother's anxiety.This morning, when Andy started crying again, Tiara woke up with a heavy head and puffy eyes. She got out of bed, looked at Andy crying in his bed, but her body felt so tired. She felt like everything around her was spinning and out of focus. Tiara even had to hold onto th
“LOOK WHAT YOU DID!”King winced in pain. Occasionally rubbing his ear and his waist which he felt ... “My waist must be blue. My ear is about to fall off again. Not to mention my arm that got scratched by your nails. You really deliberately sharpened your nails to hurt me.”“Shut up!” Gadis pouted in annoyance. Even though she was wearing a seat belt, she deliberately raised her legs onto the passenger seat. Her eyes would not give a friendly look to the man sitting next to her. Controlling the steering wheel and concentrating a little on the road to Bogor. Also ... pressing the gas pedal a little because they wasted a lot of time because of the Forest King Kingkong.“Shut up, how?” Kingkong chuckled. ‘Besides, if the ring is already on your finger, you can't run away, Pasaraya.”“You're really a bastard, huh!”“What do you mean, bastard?’ King straightened his thick hair. He adjusted his seat a little and then concentrated on the steering wheel again. “Instead of you being angry all
Feeling like the center of attention again, King just laughed. “Oh my goodness, I'm sorry to bother you. Please continue. I'll just wait here.” But he walked over to Gadis's parents. He respectfully greeted them and then sat in the chair provided by Guy. “What's going on?” he asked in a half-whisper.“Gadis's ex-boyfriend is here. He wants his case dropped.” Lanang stared hatefully at the man, who was still flanked by his parents. ‘I just want to hit him!”King chuckled. ’Patience, bro. Patience. It doesn't always have to be solved with violence.”Tommy cleared his throat quite strongly. After the disturbance that came to interrupt them a little, he had to finish his business in this place immediately. He wouldn't waste any time because the lawyer who was helping Gadis's case kept urging the police to schedule a trial immediately. Tommy never imagined what would happen to Angga. How would his job go, wh
[King: We're leaving to Bogor at 2 pm. Lo, are you ready? I don't want to wait. Afandi, pick up Lisa. This meeting, no one should be late.]The message was sent when Gadis was already fast asleep. She had a beautiful dream in which she was in Banda Neira, enjoying how God created that place so beautifully. Gadis didn't want to end the dream right away. This weekend, she returned to her parents' house. She also prepared to attend a work meeting with several other GreenTech branch offices spread across several cities, although not as big as the one in Jakarta. But GreenTech continues to grow and spread its wings.There were several representatives from the King division who had to attend the meeting, including Lisa and Gadis. Risna had already been there a few months before Gadis joined GreenTech. Harry and Panji were in the same class as Risna at the work meeting.Luckily, Gadis was used to getting up early. Although reluctant to leave,
Even though it was Gadis's days at GreenTech again—fun and certainly busy besides having to keep arguing with King, there was also a lot of work she had to do. Especially related to King's latest project. Her boss and eternal enemy never gave her team a break to quickly finish what had been distributed. Among the most annoying things, King didn't tolerate mistakes.Gadis ... always had to endure King's anger because there was always something wrong. Even if it was small, for a perfectionist like King, it wasn't allowed to happen.“Damn it!” Gadis immediately pulled out her desk chair. ‘Damn you, Kingkong!’ she scolded as she sat down roughly, not caring that the sound of her butt hitting the seat was quite annoying. If only Gadis's weight was a bit too much, maybe the desk chair could break.“Hi,” Tania warned, giggling. ”Be patient, Dis. Be patient. Getting angry makes you age faster and realize how things feel.&r
“You really don't care if you make people miserable,” Lilo laughed excitedly. He even held his stomach, which suddenly cramped from laughing so much this afternoon. ”No wonder they call you crazy.”“Not crazy bucin, Lo,” interrupted Mario who didn't want to lose. ‘Bulol. Stupid bucin.”“I'm not stupid, huh,’ King snapped. ”I still have the sanity to behave normally, even though the situation is reversed according to what I want.”“Angga is the stupid one, Mario. You can't understand the situation, can you?” Lilo was still laughing at Mario's remark. “But people like Angga need to be taught a lesson. I haven't heard the latest news about the arrest of that guy.”“It won't be long before it gets out, you know.” King grinned slightly. The glass of soda was almost empty. He had no intention of refilling it, and anyway, there was only a plate left of his
“Aunty, I thought you were going to be a long time coming, Dis,” Priska approached Gadis who had just gotten out of the car. Her son's beloved vehicle, which no one was allowed to touch carelessly, was simply handed over by Gadis who appeared behind the wheel. Gadis's beautiful face made a big smile greet Priska's greeting.“King was so fussy, saying he didn't want to keep Auntie waiting,” replied Gadis, half grumbling. Originally, Gadis's lips were a little itchy because she called King by his real name. Being used to calling him Kingkong made Gadis feel uncomfortable. Even so, Gadis still knew how to behave, especially since she was dealing with King's mother.“That child,” Priska snapped. ”He shouldn't bother you when you're driving.”“Well, that's how his Auntie is.”Priska laughed. From the beginning of her acquaintance with Gadis and her strange relationship with her son, Priska had to rub
“Good afternoon.”Budi had expected that there would be guests coming to visit his house. Including two men in full uniform with attributes. There was no commotion, but it had attracted the attention of the neighbors. Because it seemed that the lawyer and the police who came to the house were not joking and were acting exactly like Gadis's words that had suddenly gone viral on various social media.“Good afternoon, sir.” Budi greeted them warmly. His wife did the same even though she looked frightened and worried. For a while, Sheila was not allowed to leave the house for her safety and to protect her from the bad things that could have happened.Before long, a conversation between them took place. Budi didn't want to draw too much attention by speaking as loudly as possible to cause a commotion. He wanted the matter to be resolved peacefully as soon as possible. If his child was indeed guilty, he had to take full responsibility because e
“All the reports and evidence that Ms. Gadis brought, I have submitted to the authorities. And I have also issued a summons to summon them and hold them accountable for their actions.” Albert looked furious after hearing Gadis's story during a casual conversation with Hendi just now.It's not that, in Albert's eyes, a man like Angga is nothing more than a coward hiding behind a sense of responsibility. Even though it was not a form of male responsibility, but rather the mental murder of a girl who sincerely loved him. Fortunately, Gadis Parasayu was able to escape Angga's clutches. Maybe that also made the man feel hurt and resentful of the treatment of his ex-lover. He felt that if he went viral with his past story with Gadis, it could attract sympathy and make Gadis be humiliated on social media.“Thank you very much, Mr. Albert.” Gadis looked at the man who she thought was about the same age as Mr. Ubud with a sympathetic look. ”I reall
“I don't know what to say, Dis,” said Manda, shaking her head in disbelief. ‘You are so lucky to be able to get away from that jerk. Oh my gosh, I can't imagine if you ended up marrying him.”“Terrified, aren't you?’ Lily rubbed her own shoulder to get rid of the sudden feeling of discomfort. ”But actually I feel sorry for him too.”“Me too, actually,” said Gadis quietly. ”I don't know if Sheila knows this or not, but clearly all the accounts that made reports on Twitter also caused a stir, and they came from her account. Lilo also helped to get the cellphone that was used and ... connected to the bastard.”“You really have to reply without thinking anymore, sir. It's too much in my opinion.” Manda said with great enthusiasm. Her eyes seemed to be blazing but not just to encourage Gadis, but to retaliate for whatever that jerk did.Assisted by Lilo and King, they tracked d
