“Are you sure you're coming home tonight?” asked Helena with a sad face. Tonight's banquet was a warm and friendly affair. And many things were discussed together to reach an agreement about the preparations for her marriage to Michael.Andreas' family had left 30 minutes ago, but Helena didn't realize that Wilna was also preparing to go home. Helena thought that her best friend and assistant had chosen to stay overnight and that they would have an exciting conversation about the wedding preparations.“I have to go back,” Wilna said with a big grin. “Lily just got back from New York. I don't want to miss out on all the fun she'll have when she has her event there.”“You're right.” Helena nodded in understanding. “I'm sure she has plenty of stories.”“If you need me to help you with the wedding preparations, I'm always ready to help.”Helena smiled broadly. “I know I can count on you.” She gave Wilna a warm hug. “Let me know when you get home.”“Okay.” Wilna returned the hug immediatel
“Did you have lunch with Michael?” asked Wilna, carrying some of the files Helena had corrected.“Yes.” Helena smiled broadly. “What about you?”Wilna shrugged. “I don't intend to leave the office this afternoon. I don't know, I feel so lazy.”Helena laughed. “What are you lazy about? Aren't you the one who gets excited more often because of lunch?”Wilna spluttered. “Thomas said he was coming to the office. He brought lunch.”“Ugh!” Helena smiled widely. “Do you have something to hide?”“Nothing,” Wilna replied immediately. “Aren't you used to seeing us eat lunch together anyway?”“Thomas bringing you lunch is the difference,” Helena said, snapping her fingers. “But I'm happy with how your relationship is progressing.”“I don't have any relationship with Thomas,” Wilna evaded.“I'll wait for your confession,” Helena said as she grabbed her small bag. She had made sure she had her cell phone and a few other essentials. “I'll leave first. If there's anything you want, let me know immed
“Have you made up?” asked Wilna half-jokingly. This Sunday morning Wilna was already at Helena's main mansion. Ever since Helena decided to marry Michael, the woman had returned to her main house. Apart from making the wedding preparations easier, Helena also wanted to be near her father. Keeping the middle-aged man company, making up for the time wasted taking care of things including Nakia.Helena only gave an annoyed glance. “I don't really want to be angry or ignore him.”“But?”Helena scowled. “Why should I have a best friend like you? I can't hide anything from you.”Wilna laughed with satisfaction. “So... why are you like that?”“I don't know.” Helena shrugged. “I don't like that woman. I feel like I've been transported to the day I knew Tiara.” She looked down sadly. “Temptations from third parties always come at unexpected times. Learning from that painful experience really sucks.”Wilna took a sip of her hot tea as she looked at Helena sitting in front of her with a troubled
“Wilna! Are you still in the room for long? What time is it already?”Aunt Merry's shout made Wilna, who was still struggling with her make-up and hair to make it less messy, speed up her preparations. “Yes! I'll be ready in a minute!”“You've been waiting for Thomas.”Wilna's movement in combing her hair stopped. As soon as she realized Aunt Merry's words. She accelerated her activities to get ready before leaving for the office. Wilna rushed out of her room with her hair half done, wearing a casual blouse and trousers. But her steps stopped at the dining room door when she saw Thomas sitting at the table, sipping coffee while reading the newspaper.“Mr. Thomas?!” she exclaimed, her eyes rounding. “What are you doing here so early?” It was an unusual sight for Wilna to see. How the man, who was already well-groomed in a navy suit, sat comfortably among his family.It was nothing compared to the reception of her family, especially Aunt Merry. The middle-aged woman looked so happy with
“Looks like you've been busy,” Helena greeted Michael as he entered the office. Ever since the man had decided to take care of his mother's travel agency, the company had had many branches even overseas. They travel to many destinations and work with many airlines. Not to mention the hotels and restaurants that are the top recommendations for travelers around the world.Thanks to Michael, the company has grown rapidly and has been recognized as a trustworthy travel agent that makes many people want to use their services. From young couples to large families, many of whom don't want the hassle of organizing their own time and destination, choose to entrust it to the travel agency that Michael manages.For this reason, Michael rarely had any free time when he first started the company. But now, he is able to organize and direct his employees without the need for him to be present in the office. However, there were some things that Michael could not leave unattended, including his financ
The wedding day had arrived.“Are you nervous?” asked Wilna who had just helped Helena put on the glittering belt that adorned the wedding dress Helena was wearing this afternoon. Although it looked simple, the details of the dress were not as simple as it looked.“You're asking me that?” snorted Helena with a look of distaste. “I can't wait to see when you'll feel the same way about me.”Wilna shook her head lightly. “It will take a long time. Mr. Thomas has a lot of work to do anyway.” She shrugged as if she didn't really care about her relationship with Thomas.“Until when are you going to call your lover 'sir'?”Wilna grinned widely. “Let it be. He doesn't mind anyway.”“What's all the fuss about?” asked Vera who walked into the room where Helena and Wilna were preparing. Apart from making sure Helena's makeup looked perfect, Vera also didn't want to miss the time to give Helena support. Since Helena's mother passed away a dozen years ago, Vera believes that at a time like this, t
Wilna was still thinking about what Thomas had said a moment ago. Why did Helena and Michael's wedding have to be broadcast throughout the city? Wasn't that too much? Even just because of this, Helena had scolded Thomas. But as Wilna knew, Thomas didn't really care. According to Wilna, the more she scolded Thomas, the more he acted out.The media covering her best friend's wedding were even placed in a special area so as not to disrupt the event. They had their own time to ask questions to the happy couple when the time came. That's why they waited patiently.“Are you tired?” asked Wilna who approached Helena. The woman sat on one of the chairs in the corner of the room. As if to get away from the crowd of guests who came. Even though this afternoon was not the peak day of their wedding party, Helena already looked tired. It was undeniable that this wedding event was so luxurious and attended by many important guests.“Yeah... even if I complain of being tired, I can't go back to the
“Are you tired?” asked Michael as he unhooked his tie. They had just finished the last of a series of events they had to go through together at the wedding.“Are you asking me?” Helena laughed at the question. She had already taken off her party dress which felt suffocating. Perhaps it was because she had to receive so many guests, making her feel very tired.“I really want to sleep,” complained Michael, who was now sitting on the edge of the bed.“You're right.” Helena was still busy drying her hair. “By the way, Wilna has prepared our departure schedule for a week. But isn't that too much?”“Why is it too much?” Michael laughed. “You haven't taken any time off anyway, have you?”“At least not one that I've deliberately taken for a long time.”Michael looked at Helena's back, which was still wrapped in the satin bathrope that his wife seemed to be wearing so comfortably. Ah, wife. Michael never thought he'd get to this point and it was a joy to him.“Take a shower,” Helena said, turn
“Where's my husband?” asked Helena, who had just entered the dining room, surprised that Michael was no longer there. It was as if he had left her to have breakfast alone. It had been a month since Helena and Michael returned from their memorable honeymoon in the Maldives. However, married life was starting to show a different side.Helena didn't mind, it was just that... they had just gotten married, right?“Mr. Michael has just left, Mrs. Helena,” one of the waiters said, bowing politely. She also invited Helena to sit in her chair. The dishes made by the butler were quite appetizing but... for some reason Helena was reluctant to touch them. But she couldn't just skip the morning intake. The agenda was so overwhelming that she had to have more energy to deal with it.That morning, Helena sat alone at the dining table. A cup of coffee and a plate of toast accompanied sheets of paperwork about the new product launch of Nakia, the cosmetics company she worked for. The job took up almos
Helena sat by the window of the airplane, her eyes unable to escape the breathtaking view below. The bright blue sky combined with the crystal clear sea, revealing a cluster of small islands that looked like jewels. She took a deep breath, a smile never leaving her face.Michael turned his head, looking at his wife with great affection. “Should I be jealous that you're more mesmerized by the view than I am?”Helena giggled, glancing at him. “Don't be silly. But you're right, it's amazing.”Michael smiled with satisfaction, taking Helena's hand and holding it tightly. “Wait until you see our villa. You'll fall in love even more.”Helena frowned, pretending to think. “Fall in love with the place or the person who brought me there?”Michael chuckled. “Probably both.”When they arrived at the resort, Helena was completely lost for words. Their villa stood majestically over the water, surrounded by the sea shimmering in the sunlight. There was a private pool, a deck directly overlooking th
