"When did mom get here?" Wira opened her eyes slowly, still looking sleepy."Can you explain what this is?" Desi put down her cell phone, which showed a man and a woman smiling happily."This is Riana," Wira replied quietly."Yes. I know she's Riana, what I'm asking is why is Riana's picture the wallpaper on your phone?" Desi looked sharply at her son. "Is that what I think it is?" she continued."Yes, Mom. I've known Riana for a long time, she and I went to the same college, and I have feelings for her, too. I even expressed my love to Riana, but she refused because there was already a man who had become her lover first," Wira explained at length to Desi, his face also looking depressed when he remembered Riana's rejection."You know this is wrong, Wira? Riana is married, so it's not good for you to have feelings for a married woman!""I just love her, Mom. I'm not going to force my feelings on her anyway, and she doesn't recognize me now. Please, Mom. I just want to see her from a d
Wira heard the commotion as she passed Reynald's room, just in time for the door to be open so she could see clearly what was happening.Reynald who saw Wira, became agitated, his hands even clenched tightly. It was just that the boss couldn't see because he was covered by the desk. "I called Riana earlier, but this woman came instead. I didn't want to tell her at first, but she kept insisting and I was forced to ask her to make the coffee not too sweet. What came instead was very sweet coffee, I really don't like very sweet coffee, so isn't it natural for me to be angry?" asked Reynald, who was actually asking for justification."Then why do you want to tell Riana?" Wira asked with a puzzled look on his face, but at the same time he didn't like the idea of Riana getting tired of being told what to do.Reynald scratched his head, which wasn't itching, because he couldn't think of a suitable answer. "Um, it's because she's so good at making me coffee!" Reynald replied quickly.Wira c
Riana took a deep breath, which she let out roughly. "Aren't you the one who doesn't want children? Then why do you say that I'm the one who didn't give you a child?" the question that came out of Riana's mouth made her heart ache.Riana had told her husband several times that she wanted children, but he always said later, later and later. So now Reynald was saying that Riana couldn't give him children? Really, if a man didn't want his wife anymore, there would be a thousand reasons to say that she wasn't good or suitable for him."Since you got your paycheck today, you can start looking for a place to rent yourself," Reynald said."What do you mean?" Riana looked at Reynald for an explanation."What Reynald means is that you pack up all your stuff in this house and leave. Just like that, you don't know!" snapped Diandra, she was extremely annoyed with Reynald for not speaking clearly."You're kicking me out? For her sake." Riana pointed shakily at Diandra."Yes, because I'm serious a
Wira who saw Riana next to his mother, hurried to hide behind the sofa, actually he always wore full clothes at home. It was just that he had taken a shower in the outside bathroom because the hot water didn't come from there, then after bathing he felt hungry and remembered that there was fruit and snacks in the living room."I thought you wouldn't be home today, so I brought Riana here to stay.""Riana is staying here?" Wira stared in disbelief."Yes," Desi replied briefly, she didn't feel comfortable telling Wira about Riana in front of her own people."If you have any objections, I'll find another place to stay." Riana looked down, embarrassed to see Wira still shirtless.Even though the man was already hiding behind the sofa, Riana was still embarrassed and misbehaved when she saw Wira's six-pack abs."I told you it's dangerous for a woman to be out all night, Wira won't have a problem with you spending the night or even staying here. He's rarely home anyway, isn't he Wira?" Desi
"This is it. You stay here with me, don't go anywhere." Desi held Riana's hand.Riana couldn't stand it, so she nodded her head in agreement, which made Desi smile happily. Wira who was behind the wall, felt the same way. Because he was so happy, he accidentally shouted, causing the two women to turn to him."Hello, yes. I'll be right there." Wira pretended to receive a call from someone. "Mom, I'm going to work first, I have an important meeting at the office," Wira said to Desi."Isn't it Sunday?" Riana looked at her boss in surprise and unconsciously asked a question that embarrassed Desi and Wira."He's always working, Riana. It doesn't matter if it's Sunday. Even yesterday was Saturday, right? Well, he's still working, it's just that because other companies give Saturdays and Sundays off, he's forced to do so because he doesn't want to make their employees tired," Desi explained.In fact, Wira's company always has Saturdays and Sundays off. Only workers like Riana had Sundays o
"Where are you going, Auntie?" Riana asked with a confused expression."Just out for a walk, I'm bored at home," Desi said.Desi didn't want to say that she was angry with Riana's in-laws. After all, what if she knew that she had nothing to do with them and that Riana would be hurt by her story?"I'm going to change for a while," Riana excused herself."Yeah, I'll wait here," Desi said.Riana went into the room she was staying in, opened her bag, and started to pick out some clothes for Desi to wear. "What clothes?" Riana muttered to herself as she continued to look at the contents of her bag.While Riana had no intention of putting all her clothes in the closet, she had no intention of continuing to live here. If there was a chance, she would look for a house to live in, that's what she thought.Riana came out wearing pink, complete with her hijab, and not forgetting to use a small cheap bag. "Sorry, Auntie. I haven't bought any decent clothes yet." Riana looked down, remembering h
"Who's pretty, Wir?"Desi's question made Wira stutter, not realizing that he was speaking with his mouth instead of his heart.Desi laughed softly at her son's answer. Actually, she knew that Wira was complimenting Riana, who looked beautiful, but just wanted to tease the man."Riana, is it? Well, it's true what I said, Wira just said that you were beautiful.""No." Wira shook his head slowly, nervousness was what he felt."So it's weird, huh?" Riana looked moody now.In fact, Riana had not looked comfortable in the clothes Desi had chosen, even though she still wore the hijab, she was not used to wearing today's clothes. Since she was originally used to wearing gamis or long skirts, it was a little uncomfortable for her to wear modern Muslim clothing."No, it's beautiful!" Wira replied quickly, his face immediately turning red with embarrassment."Thank you."The two of them became so awkward that Desi drew a ragged breath, feeling strange about this young man in front of her. Given
"Don't!" the woman's scream sounded very loud."You need to be taught a lesson so you won't fight anymore!" The man hit her."I won't do it again. Forgive me." The woman begged, kneeling at the feet of the man who was her husband."You need to be taught a lesson from time to time." The man didn't care that his wife was begging for forgiveness; he dragged her into the room."Teach her a lesson so she won't argue anymore!" the mother-in-law shouted, provoking him.Her husband slammed the door and dragged and pushed the unfortunate woman, causing her to fall on the bed—the place where they used to make love and share warmth."I have told you several times not to steal in my house and to do as my mother tells you. But why are you doing it again?" he scolded."I am hungry. I haven't eaten all day.""Don't lie to me! Didn't my mother feed you? Why did you steal the food prepared for my sister and nephew?" he asked, raising his voice."I wasn't given anything," the woman replied, trembling.

"It's as if Mr. Wira only wants Riana." Lia suddenly came over to talk to them. "A demon is coming. Let's go, Riana." Kiki pulled Riana's hand away from Lia's. "From body to face, I'm definitely more attractive than you, Riana. So don't dream of getting Mr. Wira or anyone else here," Lia scoffed. "Why should I want Mr. Wira or anyone else? I already have a husband," Riana said, not accepting Lia's accusation. "Who knows if you want to find a replacement husband because your husband is poor! That's why you work here, if you were well off you wouldn't want to work so hard". Riana slapped the smooth cheek that Lia was always proud of. "If you don't know anything, you'd better shut up!" Lia was stunned by what the woman in front of her was doing. The incident had come too suddenly for her to parry Riana's slap. "What the hell are you doing?" Lia asked, holding her red cheeks. "You started it, next time don't speak carelessly!" Riana let Lia go, upset by the slap she had gi
"Shut up, Serly! If all you can do is insult me, you'd better go home!" Reynald snapped in a booming voice. Serly who was frightened when she saw Reynald's red face, cowered and immediately said goodbye to Mayang in a whisper. After the woman left, Riana and the others were silent, no one made a sound. "Did you see Serly's reaction? How she insulted me, a manager married to a lowly worker like you? If she did that, what about the others?" Reynald spoke with bated breath, he was very angry with Riana. "But, as long as no one knows I'm your wife, that's okay? Isn't that what you said?" Riana tried to remember Reynald's words, because if she stopped working, her life would indeed be very difficult. "Whatever you say, just be careful until you find out that you are my wife. You're finished!" Reynald threatened. Deep down, Riana didn't want people to know that Reynald was her husband. After all, it wouldn't do anyone any good to know that fact, except for a few insults. "Just ru
