Tata doesn't understand why Levi seems more emotional all day. The boss has scolded Sudar or Ridwan before, but it didn't create a tense atmosphere like in the meeting room earlier. Even Sudar asked if there were any problems during yesterday's trip."No, not really," says Tata while tidying up all the files around her. "I'm also surprised. It's not like Dad usually."Sudar nods in agreement. "Hopefully, there's no big problem, Miss. I'm afraid the collaboration with Acame might be in trouble."Tata smiles understandingly. Sudar's fear is not unfounded. Although Acame works with ShopaShop, everything cannot be mixed into one.She initially wanted to follow Levi out of the room immediately, but now doesn't seem like the right time. She doesn't want to worsen the boss's mood just because of her.Yet, as far as Tata can remember, there were no problems yesterday. None at all. In fact, they had quite a good time. Although she knows there are things to

She couldn't resist Levi's invitation for the second time, especially since her conversation with Jenni ended a few hours ago. Her friend still had business with a client, which made their lunch plans fall through."You... canceled meeting your friend, right?" Levi asks, looking at her intently. "Sorry, I accidentally overheard your phone call earlier."What excuse could Tata give now while Levi seems to hope she can join? It seems like Levi heard the conversation with Jenni pretty clearly."When else do we get to eat with the team, right?" Levi's statement rings true."Yeah, Sir," Tata smiles thinly."In that case, you can join us, right?"What excuse could Tata make? It feels like there isn't one. Especially when Levi says, "Just consider it another thank you for playing with my kid."Eventually, Tata sits beside Levi, just keeping him company for lunch. Sudar and Ridwan are there too. Oh... a few other marketing staff members invol

Ottis doesn't take his eyes off his phone. It's been two hours since his last message was sent, but there's been no further reply. Just like the previous messages. There's never any response.He grunts in frustration. Not because the recipient seems neglectful, but because his messages seem to be ignored. Even though he always remembers, every message, whatever it may be, always gets a reply. Why isn't this message getting any attention from the recipient? The more he thinks about it, the more irritated he becomes."What's up, Babe?" asks his conversation partner who's been watching Ottis.Getting asked that makes Ottis put on a big smile. Pushing aside his worries about the unanswered message. "Nothing. Just talking about the divorce process."The woman nods with a faint smile. "Are you really going through with it, Babe?"Ottis shrugs."But Tata seems like a good wife, Honey." The woman curves her lips, full of countless meanings."

"Honey, it's pouring out there," Tata complains while brushing off raindrops from the end of his blazer. "If we go out, we'll catch a cold, Honey."Ottis laughs. "That's where the fun's at. Mom says heavy rain like this won't get you sick."Tata shakes his head in disbelief."Seriously." Ottis looks at his wife convincingly. "Come on, let's go home now. It'll be fun to shower in the rain together."For some reason, memories of the day they ended up soaked in rain, yet full of joy, repeat without warning in Tata's mind. Maybe because he's standing right in front of the window, where there are now many raindrops.In the first year of their marriage, Tata felt everything sweet and lucky being married to Ottis. The man's treatment has yet to be forgotten. But it's balanced with his changing behavior. Every time she questions what's going on, he just brushes it off. Redirecting the conversation or even further cornering her is something she's gotten use

Ottis: Why did you put my mom's stuff in the guest room? She's my mother, Ta! How dare you do that when I'm not around?Tata has been staring at the message with a thin smile. She wants to reply but feels lazy. Not replying, there's a desire to counter all the messages Ottis sends her.Last night when she came home, her mother-in-law caused trouble again. Her belongings were put back into the room where Tata sleeps. Even though since the first day she returned home, her warning was clear.Somehow, their confidence is so high. If Tata has no rights in this house, everything in this two-story house belongs to Ottis. That's why they can act like this. Maybe they thought Tata would obey them as usual. The threats back then were just words.But this time, Tata agrees with him.Regardless of her mother-in-law shouting at her. Her sister-in-law cursing her. Kayyish suddenly scared because her loved one raised her voice to speak to Tata. None of it shakes

Tata can't take her eyes off Levi since earlier. Not because they're on the plane, which is already peacefully in the air, but because of Levi's gentle behavior towards his daughter. They took a bit longer during the initial check entering the cabin because Echa is joining on this business trip. With Merry, of course."Echa insisted on coming, Ta," Levi informs shortly after they met at the airport some time ago. "I can't just leave her like this."Levi talks about it so calmly. There's no sense of annoyance, no hassle because of Echa's behavior later on, or any dislike due to the amount of stuff she needs to bring. None of it is printed on his face. His smile even widens. His hand keeps holding Echa tightly. The daughter also looks relaxed and happy. Maybe she feels like this trip is a vacation."Come on, Ta, you going to stay here forever?""Oh, yeah, sure, Sir." Tata immediately follows Levi's steps.No. Tata is not affected at all by whether Echa is there or not. It's just that wh

They didn't stay at the soft launch for too long. Levi was still discussing a few things with the Jiayi team. Tata knew about it. But suddenly Levi invited her to leave, for whatever reason. Since Levi hung up the phone, the boss wasn't relaxed anymore. He even didn't hesitate to raise his voice a bit when the driver slowed down the car.Tata was sure something had happened. When they arrived at the hotel's courtyard where they were staying, Levi got out without saying much, leaving Tata confused.Her hunch was right, something had happened. But what? To satisfy her curiosity, she did the same. However, the answer Tata got afterward left her shocked. It was the first time she had truly seen Levi angry. Very angry."What are you doing here, huh?!" Levi immediately grabbed the arm of the beautiful woman wearing a low-cut white dress. "Go away!"As if not a bit afraid, the woman shrugged off Levi's grip. Her gaze challenged Levi without hesitation."Echa is my daughter. I have the right

Levi runs his fingers through his hair slowly. Still, he lets the night breeze mess it up again. He closes his eyes, just to neutralize the rage he had unleashed earlier."Have a drink, sir."The voice makes Levi look up."Thank you, Ta," he says after a moment of hesitation. He opens the mineral water bottle effortlessly. He takes a few sips until he feels the anger has subsided significantly.The giver just smiles thinly, then dares to sit next to him. "That... " She's somewhat afraid to ask, but her curiosity has already been exposed with her earlier words."Echa's mother," Levi cuts in softly. He almost finishes half the bottle in one gulp. "I'm sorry for scaring you earlier."Tata grimaces slightly. "It seems like it's Echa who's scared.""You're right," Levi stares straight ahead.The hotel they're staying at in Bali is near the beach. This is where they are tonight. Taking a break after the chaos earlier.The soun

Tata nudges Levi's back a bit."Sir, please... if you don't leave now, you'll be late for the grand opening. Shopashop is on your shoulders, man.""But, Ta," Levi tries to evade. "I really feel bad about this.""Why feel bad?" Tata scoffs. "Come on, it's better for you to hurry. Let Echa stay with me. Besides, Merry is here."Levi sighs deeply once more. His eyes fall on his daughter, who's lying down hugging Holy; her favorite teddy bear with a red hat. There's a fever patch on her forehead. Since 2:00 AM, the girl's body temperature has been rising, making Merry worry enough to knock on Levi's door.Finally, both of them couldn't go back to sleep because of Echa's condition. While today was scheduled for Levi and Tata to attend Jiayi's grand opening at a mall in Denpasar."Let me know right away if there's anything.""Yes, sir.""Merry, don't trouble Mrs. Tata too much," he instructs the caregiver. Merry nods obediently.

Tata tries to act as relaxed as possible. Though the corner of her eye keeps a close watch on every move of the woman sitting in front of her. It's been five minutes already, but the woman still hasn't spoken. She really doesn't want to meet with this woman. If it weren't for something supposedly important to discuss, she'd rather spend lunchtime in the cafeteria with Yessy and Peoni."What do you want from me?" Tata finally asks. She can't let her time be wasted just for this woman."I don't really like beating around the bush, to be honest. Just afraid of hurting your feelings."Tata lifts her cup of coffee latte that she ordered. She sips it slowly, feeling the mixture of flavors that greet her taste buds. "Don't waste time, Ratih. Besides, what you want to talk about surely isn't far from your affair, right?"Ratih chuckles. "You're quite sharp, aren't you?""How long has it been?" Tata places the cup down slowly. A moment later, she stares sha
