Nakia was surprised when a rather eccentric-looking man came into his office. He was wearing a black hoodie, slightly shabby jeans, and clearly visible panda eyes with a messy orange hair tie."Excuse me, can I see your ID?" a security guard stopped the eccentric man in his tracks. Even so, the man gave a little smile. He pulled out his wallet and ID."I'd like to see Helena. Could you please give her a call right away?"The security guard looked at the man with even more suspicion. He looked the man over, checking his ID and appearance. He felt like this guy was out of place. He was a very different type of person. The man's appearance on the card in his hand was very neat. He looked fit and healthy, but in front of him, he looked like someone who hadn't taken care of himself in a week."Excuse me, do you have an appointment scheduled?""Let's just say, Ron Weasley came by for a visit."The clerk gave a little smirk. "You're not one of the Harry Potter actors, are you?"The man with
Today's the day. Her ex-husband's wedding is taking place. From the moment she woke up, Helena felt like herself. She felt no burden at all, not even a sense of sadness or disappointment. Maybe it was because of all the disappointment and heartache, plus what Arslan and Tiara did to her, that Helena just wasn't in the mood for love with Arslan anymore.After all, why should she hold on to it? While the man made the decision to remove Helena from his life and choose another woman who could support his success.Helena smiled as she thought back to her past."Ready to go?" Wilna came in without knocking on Helena's bedroom door. The small box held the blood-red diamond necklace Helena had won at an auction a few months ago. The black, crystal-studded dress that hugged Helena's body in a flattering way, combined with the strikingly colored necklace, made the woman look stunning even before she arrived at the party."Why am I not ready?" Helena let out a chuckle. "Could you put the necklac
"Please have a seat." Michael got one of the chairs in the corner. It was a bit hidden from the guests, quiet, and would certainly help the woman in front of Michael relax. "Can I get you something hot to drink?""You pay too much attention to me, Michael." Helena laughed, but she couldn't resist what Michael was doing to her. "I just need to take a seat." I feel like my pregnancy is starting to take over.""I don't think it's just your pregnancy, Helena. You've been busy with Nakia for almost two weeks, and sometimes you come home tired. That kind of thing can also affect your pregnancy." Michael went on at length and chose to sit not far from Helena's position. "You should try to take it easy at the office, Helena."Helena looked at the man sitting close by and laughed. "Are you concerned about me?""No." Michael looked around to see if there was anything he could do to help Helena. "I think there's lemon tea available, or would you like something refreshing?"Helena decided to disr
"What happened to me?" Helena inquired quietly. She tried to get up, and Michael helped her a little."You passed out. You're currently in the hospital and under the care of Dr. Adi."Helena took a moment to close her eyes, still feeling a bit dizzy. Michael's explanation sounded like a noisy bee. Then she started to remember what had caused this. "My baby!" she exclaimed, rubbing her stomach, which she could feel was a little more rounded than usual. "How's my pregnancy going?""I've called Doctor Adi, Helena." Michael moved a little closer to Helena. He wasn't sure where he got the courage from, but he reached out and brushed the strands of Helena's hair that were touching his face. As a result, the woman looked at Michael with a look of disbelief."There's no need to worry. Your pregnancy is fine, but it would be good to hear what Doctor Adi has to say."Helena blinked a few times. She wasn't sure whether to remove the hand that was casually touching her hair. Or just let it go bec
On his way to Nakia's office, Arslan was more focused on his cell phone. The report Rudi gave him was a real eye-opener. The man was so shocked by what he saw on the screen that his heart stopped beating for a second.[Rudi: Miss Helena is about 18 to 19 weeks pregnant, Mr. Arslan. The baby is doing well, but her doctor sometimes suggests she take it easy.Just to let you know, the ultrasound results I got were from last month's examination, sir. I'm sending you some photos and info from the hospital. Miss Helena is in the heavily guarded VVIP room, and we've confirmed that she's the youngest daughter of the Edison family. She's only visible to those who are interested.]The report that Rudi provided was quite detailed, and the photos that were listed led Arslan to conclude that this is what had happened. The truth that was hidden behind it. All the pieces of the puzzle started to fit together. Arslan's memory of his ex-wife's figure was becoming more detailed, particularly noting cha
Wilna was taken aback. For the words she had just heard, which Arslan Tan had uttered so lightly. "What did you say?" Wilna tried to hold back her laughter and the urge to call security. It was tough for Wilna to stay calm in the face of a guy like Arslan. "Mr. Arslan, I'm not sure where you got your information about Helena's condition. I seriously doubt that Helena would ever go back to someone like you, especially after everything you did to her."Arslan chuckled, not fazed by Wilna's serious tone. "Oh, come on, Wilna. You know as well as I do that Helena is a gentle woman. I'm sure she would have thought of her son. No mother would let her child grow up without a father, right?"Wilna held back from cursing the man in front of her. Her hands were already clenched so tightly that her knuckles were turning white as her anger began to rise. She wanted to give the guy a piece of her mind so badly that he would immediately zip it.In the end, Wilna let out a little chuckle. "Do you rea
This is already the second day Helena has been allowed to return home. However, Helena was not allowed to work or do any serious activities. If that was violated, it wasn't just Wilna or Thomas who scolded her. Thomas's threat of telling their father the truth about Helena's situation made Helena think a hundred times.Not yet.Helena didn't want to talk about the household drama and her pregnancy until the breaking point where she repaid all Arslan's behaviors. Especially to Nakia. Maybe if Helena's household affairs and this pregnancy, could be discussed in a more relaxed situation. But Nakia's problems with Intel Corp cannot be ignored.Hanry Edison had trusted group's Nakia with all his heart to Helena and she wouldn't betray her father's trust. She would never let Nakia be in a position of concern.“The garden in this house is really well cared for.”That remark made Helena turn her head. The woman was sitting on the garden bench at the back of the house. Enjoying the breeze that
Wilna made sure that none of today's reports were missed. If there was one report from one of the departments that was important enough to be discussed but accidentally missed, her work tomorrow would be even more piled up. Plus tomorrow she will have a rather annoying guest; Vladimir Erick.Helena's friend and starting tomorrow will be an important part of the Nakia Group. Who knows how Helena will persuade the eccentric man to want to work under the Nakia Group. Even so Wilna was grateful if Nakia's problem could be topped immediately even though it required extra attention, but the woman believed that no one would expect if the item could be repaired.“You're not done yet?” asked Thomas as he folded his arms across his chest. He leaned slightly against the doorway of Wilna's workroom.“I had to make sure there were no reports left behind.” Wilna spoke without needing to see who her visitor was this afternoon. She had enough of a headache with all the events in this room. Especially
“Have you seen the latest news?“ Lisa immediately approached Risna's table, where her coworker and friend was eating breakfast.“What news?” Risna was surprised by Lisa's remark and her enthusiasm this morning. In fact, in recent days, Lisa had been complaining all the time. It never stopped for a moment until Risna felt that Lisa's energy was being used up complaining. The biggest complaint was the portion of their work, which she said was increasing.“All because of those ungrateful interns!” Lisa said in a rather loud tone of voice. She said it on purpose so that everyone would hear how unfair it was that King's subordinates were given many tasks, while the interns could work freely.But when King was in his work area, Lisa didn't dare to voice her complaints. Instead, she was very sweet and worked very hard to finish quickly. So she went to King's room just to say a few words. Which were more often ignored because King was really on a deadline and had a lot to be done immediately.
“So ... have you broken up with Angga?” asked Manda while giving Gadis a glass of pineapple juice and apple. Manda was in a diligent mood again, tinkering with the contents of Gadis's cupboard where there was a juicer that was often used to make refreshing drinks.“That's how it is.“ Gadis accepted the glass with sparkling eyes. ‘You know I'm really tired after coming back from Bogor.”Not only Manda, but also Lily suddenly stared at Gadis suspiciously. ’Bogor?” they asked in unison. “Don't you have work in Bandung? How come you went to Bogor instead?”Gadis choked even though she was enjoying the sweetness that ran through her throat. Even though it was getting dark, the air made the surroundings feel hot and she needed a refreshing drink.“Is there something you're hiding, Dis?” asked Lily with a suspicious look. ”Besides, you should have gone home yesterday afternoon, but instead you're late until this afternoon. Admit it! Are you going out with Angga?”“I'm so over him that I can'
Does their madness end? Obviously not. Once they reached Puncak Pass, the car that King was now in entered the lodging area. Luckily, the room they rented was not full and was comfortable for temporary living. Don't worry, King would never take Gadis to spend the night in a usual place even though the place they were going to was not a five-star hotel.“Bandung-Bogor just for the sake of sunrise?” Gadis shook her head in surprise as soon as they finished the paperwork at the reception desk. The innkeeper looked at them somewhat surprised because they might be the latest guests to come here.“It's still better Bandung-Bogor than Bandung-Bukit Sikunir.”“Don't be crazy,“ said the girl, who immediately took the key to her room. "I'm at the end there, right?" she asked, confirming once again the direction indicated by the receptionist.“Yes, ma'am. And the guy is on the second floor.”“Okay.” King immediately prepared to go to the place indicated. “You have to be up at five, Pasaraya. I d
In the end, Gadis was unable to refuse what King wanted. As for talking to Mr. Ubud, Leo, Gadis could just send a text message. After all, her work in Bandung was finished. The GreenTech team and Gadis were scheduled to return at eleven o'clock the next day. Then Ubud gave her two days off. That was the plan, but since Gadis got an amazing surprise, everything changed.Including plans to relax at the guest house after returning from Bandung.“Ready?” King asked while putting on his seat belt. King's appearance was the same; he looked tired but his annoying look hadn't left. Is that how Kingkong always looks? I don't know. What is clear is that Gadis was used to it.“I should be the one asking that, Kingkong,” Gadis said as she made sure the driver's seat was properly adjusted. E-toll card and a few things she needed while behind the wheel. Including the gas indicator, which was almost full. ”You really rarely run out of gas.”King chuckled. “I just realized that you have a good eye. I
Almost all visitors to the cafe paid attention to those who had been arguing. Although Gadis's voice was ordinary, it was full of a very noticeable aura of anger. This was in contrast to Angga, who sometimes raised his voice. Moreover, the girl's words, which he did not expect to come out so smoothly from her mouth.“Watch your mouth, Dis,” Angga said, clenching his fist.“Angga, I need an explanation.” Sheila immediately wiped away her tears. She also no longer sat listening to what was really going on. But since she had listened to the words of the girl sitting next to her, as well as Angga who suddenly ignored her, Sheila began to doubt Angga's words. Especially the sweet part full of romantic love.“Shut up!” Angga stared at Sheila with a sharp look. His face looked scary. His breath roared strongly and he was too overwhelmed by his emotions.This immediately made Sheila's guts shrink. In the end, she could only sit
Not only Angga, but the girl in front of him was staring in disbelief at the figure who had suddenly appeared around them.“You ... who are you?” asked the girl with an unkind look. ”Don't you mind our time.”Gadis smiled cynically. “Is that true?” The gaze that never left Angga's figure was slightly distracted to stare at the girl who had just spoken from such a close distance. “Am I a bother, Mr. Angga?” asked Gadis in a casual tone of voice.She didn't need to use her high tone because she was already emotional and disappointed. A flat tone was enough, but seriously, Gadis wasn't going to intimidate them both. Especially the man who seemed to be growling while holding back his annoyance.“Who is he? Do you know her?”“Are you in Bandung? What are you doing here?“ Angga ignored the question of the girl he was dating today. Her name was Sheila, a colleague at the hospital whom
The amazing girl was happy. Her smile wouldn't leave her face and her eyes were shining with happiness. For almost five hours she posed in front of the camera, not to mention changing her clothes several times and matching which part of the corner was the right one for shooting. And there was still more she had to do at the official Velue Jewelry outlet in Bandung.Maybe it's because of her determination to get rid of the problems that are still entangling her, and she refrains from telling her two friends. It's not that she doesn't want to, but for the past two days Gadis has been coming home late. The job that King gave her doesn't give her any breaks at all. But she feels grateful because she's busy. So her thoughts were not always about Angga's words and what she should do about their relationship.Gadis didn't even think about Leo's words. Gadis's main goal this time was to finish the job that she had already taken the risk of doing well. She also examined one by
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
