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
“Finally,” Tiara said with a sigh of relief. “I should have done this a long time ago.” She looked around her house, which looked deserted.Tiara was starting to feel a little peace in her life after Mirna and Yori left. With the two new maids she had hired to help take care of Andy, her little baby, the atmosphere at home had become much calmer.“I didn't expect them to be so annoying.” Tiara let out a long sigh. “It's really only sweet at first.”“Madam, what would you like to have for lunch?”Tiara turned her head and looked at the new waitress who started working yesterday afternoon. Since Mirna and Yori had left, Tiara had hired two additional people to help her. No, she didn't. Even when Mirna and Yori were around, they didn't do much in the house to help out. After all, there were already specialized servants hired to serve in this house. But Tiara decided to really focus on taking care of Andy and herself first.She could now focus not only on Andy, but also on the business af
Tiara tried to keep up with Thomas' hurried pace. Occasionally the man returned greetings from several employees who passed them. If it wasn't for business like this, Tiara wouldn't want to set foot in this building. honestly, deep down inside Tiara, she still couldn't believe that Helena was the youngest daughter of the Edison family.Trusted as the CEO of Nakia, which had grown rapidly from a few years ago. But why introduce herself as someone from humble origins, hiding her true identity? As if mocking all those involved with Helena for all the tricks the woman had pulled.Because of that, Tiara never wanted to have a good talk with Helena. It was just that this time, things had shifted a bit and made Tiara have to think carefully about what she was going to say. Even though it felt like she was forced to do this.“You really have some free time just to visit here, huh,” Thomas said as the special elevator doors to the floor where Helena worked cl
“Damn it!” cursed Tiara as she hit the steering wheel. She was already in the parking lot of the Nakia building. Talking to Helena had brought her emotions to the breaking point. Especially when she found out that the woman seemed to enjoy playing tricks on her.“What exactly is in Helena's mind?”Inevitably, Tiara began to think of the worst possibilities. Even her head also began to connect with the two people who were ordered by her, but until now there was no news from them. Not even the slightest trace could be found. How could that be? Wasn't there something Tiara didn't know?“This is impossible,” Tiara said as she ruffled her hair. She didn't care if her appearance wasn't as neat as when she first came to this building. She felt like her head was about to explode from the frustration attacking her.She had not forgotten the last conversation between Helena and herself. Which made her assume that Helena knew far more than Tiara could predict.Helena's words that said if Tiara h
“What have you been up to all this time, Hendry?” Tiara ruffled her hair in impatience and felt half-crazy because the two people who were the key to her actions had left absolutely no trace.“I've done my best. Your father's men have also done their best up to this point.” Not only Tiara, but Hendry also seemed to be getting depressed because the two men were nowhere to be found.He had requested investigations and searches in several cities but to no avail.“Even the slightest news about them, let me know.” Instead of Tiara spending time in Hendry's office, it would be better if she went home. Although her thoughts were all jumbled and unfocused, what she needed now was to rest for a while. While thinking, what steps she would take appropriately.“Alright, Miss Tiara. You still need to stay calm and don't act rashly.” Hendry gave advice even though it wasn't really needed. Because in a situation like this, Tiara knew better what to do.Tiara didn't respond, opting to leave Hendry's
Helena had just returned from Albert's office. After submitting files and other evidence that was not revealed during the investigation at that time. Many things turned out to be odd during the legal process involving Helena and Michael as victims. Although they were undergoing treatment, the case of the accident that almost cost them both their lives should not have been closed so quickly.The woman looked tired because the meeting wasn't just an ordinary meeting. It was all Thomas' idea to use the media as a weapon. It wasn't that he didn't agree with it, but talking in front of the camera and having people ask endless questions was draining his energy. But Thomas repeatedly said he had to be excited.It is not without reason that Thomas does things like this. But there was one thing that the man deliberately coordinated to put so much pressure on Tan's family as well as Jacob's family. The principle is, if you want revenge, never hesitate and be half-hearted. Everything must be don
“I'll take you home,” Michael said at the end of their exciting dinner. Although he had often heard Wilna's voice dominate because of her annoyance with Thomas' behavior, but really... if Michael had been asked to come to a dinner like this, he wouldn't have refused.With Thomas and Wilna, Helena seemed much more alive. She was often laughing and smiling at even the smallest things. And Michael wouldn't have missed a moment when that happened; Helena was beginning to enjoy her life. There was no more sadness and disappointment on her face, which had captured Michael's heart.The bespectacled man was very grateful that Helena was coping so well with her problems. As he said, whatever Helena wanted to do regarding the legal case involving Tiara, Michael would support her.Helena opened the case and submitted a lot of evidence to the police at this time not without reason. Not only did she want Tiara to pay for her actions, she also wanted her to know what it was like to lose. Especially
An hour before Mirna and Yori's arrival at the Nakia building.“Mom, are you sure we should go back to see Helena?” asked Yori as she ate the instant noodles she bought at the supermarket near her rental house. For the past few days, she and her mother had eaten only the bare minimum. It was hard to earn money at a time like this.Many of her friends and acquaintances stayed away and often looked down on her as if they were dirt and viruses to be avoided. Whereas if Yori remembered, they were familiar enough to share a table with various delicious dishes and gossip here and there about one of their colleagues who seemed annoying. It happened over and over again every time they got together. And Yori was the one who made the situation more interesting.But why after Yori experienced this, did they antagonize her. Expelling Yori if there is a meeting among them, as if Yori was not part of them before. Yori was very upset, wanted to get angry but they acted as if they didn't know Yori. E
Did the annoying continuation of the conversation between Angga and Gadis happen? No.Gadis' condition did not allow her to continue all the words that were on the tip of her tongue. All the swearing seemed to be able to come out because of the frustration and tightness she felt. What Angga said was outrageous. All the things that had happened to her in the past were spinning around in her head.Making Gadis lose concentration. Repeatedly her name was called to follow directions that they thought were easy, but today Gadis seemed to have lost control. Unfortunately, all of that could not be expressed because of the circumstances. There was a part of Gadis that kept reminding her strongly, looking at the condition Gadis was in at the moment.That bastard of a boyfriend of hers. He could cause her mood to fall apart.“I'm sorry, Ms. Ransi,” said Gadis, looking down dejectedly. She didn't know how many times she had apologized, but gadis was not
“Where have you been, Dis?” asked Manda, who greeted Gadis's arrival with surprise. Both she and Lily had been waiting for Gadis to return. It wasn't a problem with the message that Gadis had sent saying that she would be home late, but ... this was out of the ordinary for Gadis. Was it because of her side job that Gadis was coming home late.“Eh, who gave you a drop off?” Lily still hadn't taken her eyes off the HRV car that had just passed right in front of the gate, making her curious. "Mr. Foreigner, huh?" she teased immediately.“Oh, we're full now.” Manda laughed. ”What's in here?”“When you're full, you don't need to ask what's in it,” said Gadis as she continued to climb the stairs. As soon as she got out of the car, she felt so tired. The only thing she wanted to do right away was to clean up and change her clothes. Then curl up in a blanket and fall asleep with sweet dreams.But unfortunately, it was not easy for her to get it considering that Manda and Lily were still aroun
“You're really annoying, Jungle King!” Gadis couldn't do anything but fasten her seat belt properly. Even though her head felt like it was going to explode, her eyes were already flashing an extraordinarily high level of dislike. Not to mention, the deepest desire in her was for the fist she had to be able to nestle into King's face as he stared at her carefree.Even pouting!The man sitting next to Gadis was a crazy man!“How annoying is it?” King folded his arms across his chest. ‘I'm billing you for my work, you know. Besides, you should be grateful, you don't have much work today. Compared to the others? You could finish at ten o'clock at night. Are you working or being worked on?’ King laughed.“Son of a bitch!”“Well, it's been a long time since I heard you swear so rudely. I thought your mouth had repented, but apparently not yet.”King is the patient tester that God gave him in his life.“Be careful driving, okay. I love my car even though I paid it off. Don't get any scratche
“Wow, the famous model candidate has finally returned to the cage,“ joked Afandi with a wink as he saw Gadis entering his work area. The one who was being teased just pouted as she pulled up her work chair. She sat back comfortably while taking a long sigh and unwinding her hair.“I'm really fed up with this dual job,” complained Gadis but then laughed.“You should be grateful because your income has doubled,” teased Panji, who had just arrived with a cup of coffee. ”Eh, do you want me to make you an iced cappuccino?”Gadis didn't immediately agree. Panji, Afandi, and Hary, when they offered help, there was always something they wanted. Gadis didn't want to get into more trouble than just asking for someone's private phone number.“How much do I need to pay?” asked Gadis with suspiciously narrowed eyes.Panji was clearly laughing hard. ”You're really sensitive about this kind of thing, Dis.”“Brother Panji, the price list is written on your forehead.”This time, the uproarious laughte
“What are you doing, Dis?” asked Manda with great curiosity. This evening, they were eating for free. Apart from the many side dishes brought by her mother, Gadis, her friend kindly wanted to stay busy in the kitchen even though she had just returned from work. She also said that she was not too tired because she was being driven by a colleague from the office.Of course Manda and Lily were curious even though their hearts were happy because the money for this dinner could be used for other things.“Create a status,” replied Gadis briefly. Her mouth was still chewing the rice she had just cooked, complete with spicy basil chicken. ”To make the burning souls even hotter.”Manda's forehead wrinkled. “I didn't see the status you made, Dis. Where is it? I'm curious,” Manda quipped, now busy looking at her cellphone. There wasn't a trace of dinner left on her plate. Besides being delicious, it was also free. When else w
Gadis stopped dead in her tracks. Reflexively, she held back King, who was walking alongside her, to stop.“Why?” King asked with an annoyed look. ‘They said they wanted to buy pudding. That's it,’ King pointed without feeling strange at all. ”That counter, right?”“Um... can you make a different route?”King stared at Gadis in surprise. “We can't. Why would we go around when we can go straight?” But then, King chose to tease Gadis who never stopped talking. “Or do you still want to be alone with me?”“Don't be crazy, okay.” Gadis chose to turn around. Even so, her eyes returned to the same point; the point that made her decide to cancel the event of buying her favorite pudding at the corner of the mall not far from where she was standing now.Even though during lunch with King it was not enjoyable at all; because this man really tests a girl's patience, there is so
“Your schedule is also busy, huh,” King said as Gadis sat not far from his desk. He deliberately called the girl for a follow-up discussion. No, King had no intention of raising the flag of war this early.For him, this Monday felt special. At least he went to the office with a sense of enthusiasm even though he had to struggle with Jakarta's traffic jams again. Why is that? Because today is payday. Yoo-hoo ... the salary that will be deposited in his account this afternoon is what King has been waiting for all month. Apart from wanting to make sure that the bonus in his account is correct, there is something he wants to buy right away.“Well, that's how it is,” said Gadis, sighing softly.“Are you unusually not excited? Why? Are you giving up because of your busy schedule?” asked King, giggling. He also held out a planner that he had just made at home related to the division of work in his work division. He had even adjusted it to fit Gadis' schedule. Some of his other subordinates t
Spending the weekend at your parents' house is fun. Nothing can match the taste of Gadis' mother's cooking. And one thing is for sure; her stomach is always full. Similar to her mother, Gadis loves to be in the kitchen. It feels like the greatest form of distraction that Gadis can do if she is there. Whatever she cooks, she will definitely get more appreciation.Especially with Manda and Lily joining her on weekends. They said, “Eating is free while there's still food left.”Fortunately, Maya never objected to the addition of two people who were the same age as her daughter.“If you're at home, you don't feel like going home,” said Lily as she lay down in the girl's room. They had just finished lunch with an appetizing side dish. Not to mention the snack that the girl had made that morning, making them reluctant to leave the table.“You have a really good life,” teased Gadis, not accepting it. "You don't help me either.”“We'll help you, okay,’ replied Manda, giggling. "Help you finis
“Mom,” called Gadis quietly. She was a bit hesitant to talk about the problem that had been going around in her head for the last three days. Anyway, since Gadis met Angga's family and all the pressure that came with it, Gadis started to think; was their relationship real and healthy?“Yes?” The woman, who immediately looked at her with tenderness, approached Gadis. She was sitting and looking at the lunch menu without interest. This was the second time she had seen Gadis looking unenthusiastic.Gadis' return last night brought real joy to Maya's face. She had prepared many dishes that she would cook with Gadis. Remembering that Gadis hadn't been home for two weeks because she was busy at work, Maya tried not to ask too many questions because Gadis needed to adjust to her activities at the office.Maya has not forgotten all the help her eldest daughter has given to the family economy. Maya is very proud of Gadis and her acceptance and what she has done so far. That's why when Gadis sa
