A Wife's Escape

Loss of Face

...Hours of rest, HW Group office...

...••••••...

In a workspace owned by the CEO of Group HW, Keyran who works seriously has completed some of his work. He began to stretch his shoulders and neck, and after that he sipped a cup of coffee that had been provided.

As Keyran was enjoying the coffee, suddenly came an uninvited person into his room. That person was none other than Amanda. Without feeling the slightest hesitation Amanda immediately sat on the sofa next to Keyran, she also posed like a graceful and classy woman.

Amanda intends to tease Keyran and attract his attention, but Keyran only glances and then continues drinking coffee. Keyran treats Amanda like the wind, not taking her presence at all.

Even when Keyran finished his coffee, Amanda still continued like that, not saying a word and also not intending to leave. Keyran began to feel disturbed and then looked at Amanda with a cynical look while saying, "Go, your presence is not needed!" keyran said curtly, then he turned his chair back to Amanda.

"Key. Don't be like this..." Amanda got up from the couch and walked over to Keyran and stood in front of him. "Why has your attitude turned colder? Though I'm your friend. Come on. smile at me.." persuade Amanda in a spoiled tone.

Hearing Amanda talk like that to him, Keyran felt even more fed up. Because of her speech that sounded spoiled, she immediately imagined about the incident in the bathtub at the same time Nisa. And eventually Keyran began to lose his temper.

"What's your purpose in coming here? If you just want to talk about useless things, you better hurry up and leave!"

Hm! Where's Valen? Why did this pest get in? His presence just bothers me.

"Key. I didn't come here for no reason, I missed you..." Amanda tried to touch Keyran's shoulder, but Keyran immediately shook his hand. "Humph! I would like to invite you to be a partner in the awards ceremony, would you? I beg you. Please grant me my request once..."

"God! I have no obligation to grant your request! So hurry up and go!"

"Key.it is the most prestigious film and music awards show, many famous artists and important figures to come. This show won't bring your degrees down, so please come with me..."

"I still refuse! Go now!" keyran said firmly while pointing towards the exit.

"Uuuhh. Okay, now I understand. I also understand my status, I promise there will be no scandal between us. You are married now, do not-don't.. are you afraid that your wife will misunderstand?"

"Tsk! Don't talk about him! I'm not afraid of him at all!" yelled Keyran as if he did not accept.

Why am I afraid Nisa misunderstood me? He's just scrap stuff! Just remembering about it makes me feel sick.

"Emmm. o-okay," Amanda suddenly smiled cunningly.

Keyran was angry when I mentioned his wife. It turned out that Keyran had absolutely no feelings for him! This is my enemy, I might be able to snatch Keyran from that rotten girl.

"Key, if you're not afraid of him, then attend the event with me... That way you can prove to me that you're really not afraid of him..."

"Close your mouth! I don't have to prove anything to you at all! But if you still insist on persuading me, then I will have people drag you out! Do you still want to be here, huh!?"

"Keyran... Why are you treating me like this? Though with a sincere heart I invite you, I beg da-..."

Braak!! sound of door slamming.

Suddenly someone entered the Keyran room, that person was Mr. Muchtar. With a carved wooden stick he was wearing, he walked over with great authority. Then he looked at Amanda with an intimidating look, and Amanda immediately felt terrified and rushed out of Keyran's room.

After Amanda left, Mr. Muchtar immediately sat on the sofa and looked at Keyran with a cynical look. Seeing his father like that to him, Keyran was not at all afraid but instead returned his father's gaze in the same way.

Such a tense atmosphere did not last long, Mr. Muchtar changed his terrifying expression. And Keyran immediately turned his eyes away and said, "What do you need to do to see me?" asked Keyran indifferently.

"I just wanted to see my own son, but you don't seem happy to see me. Is this the proper attitude for you to show huh!?"

"Dad, please don't bother me! Usually I don't really care about the company, and all day just playing golf with my friends, why suddenly come to the office?"

"Hey, you should know your position! It's true you're the CEO, but I'm your father and the Commissioner of this company. My job is to watch and I still have authority here, so it's not unusual for me to come here."

"Whatever, everything's fine, so dad can go! I just keep playing golf with my friends! Dad interrupted my break!"

"Tsk! I couldn't play golf with them, I lost face when I met them. And it's all your fault!" mister Muchtar said as if he did not accept.

"My fault? What are you talking about? I didn't even say anything to them, and why did you lose face?"

"Currently, you won't understand what I'm feeling! My friends all have grandchildren, only I don't have one! They were all constantly mocking me, even showing off pictures of their sweet grandchildren. Of course I feel like I'm losing face, and it's all your fault!"

"Huft... It turns out this is the reason you came to see me, why is it that every time you keep talking about this? If you just want to talk about something stupid like this, you better just go!" Keyran ignores his father, then turns on his laptop and then resumes his work.

"Hey, this isn't stupid. Besides I've never heard of any progress in your relationship, you didn't even take the initiative to bring your wife to the main residence. I saw lately that your face is always sour, are you having a problem with your wife?"

"Certain why? Just take care of your own father's problems, don't try to interfere in my affairs!"

"Keyran... Keyran.." said Mr. Muchtar as he shook his head, "I am your father and also the father-in-law of your wife, so I have the right to interfere in your affairs. Dad's advice is just one, stop being so arrogant and lower your ego a little! If there is indeed a problem between you, try to talk to each other, communication is the key to a relationship. If you continue like this, you will lose yourself. Key, you can tell dad your problems..."

"Tsk! Well if you want to know my problem, then listen carefully. The wife you chose for me is so useless! All he could do was cause trouble!"

"Ha ha ha ha, so that's your problem? Oh my God, please wake up my son..." Mr. Muchtar laughed so much that he shed tears, before long he rubbed his eyes and regained his composure.

"Is there anything funny?" ask Keyran astonished.

"Yes, you're the funny one. You're too stupid to think my son-in-law is useless." Mr. Muchtar then grinned.

"Why do you talk like that? Nisa was indeed useless, other than being able to cook an omelette similar to mother, she had no skills whatsoever anymore! I even thought he was crazy, he looked really happy when he made trouble."

"It turns out you're still unconscious, I couldn't possibly pick a wife out for you. Nisa is so talented, her talent is beyond yours. Plus he comes from a family that is quite harmonious, maybe the innocence he has can change your cold and haughty attitude" said Mr. Muchtar as if mocking.

"What makes you think he's more talented than I am? Have you forgotten what I can do? That crazy Nisa doesn't deserve to be compared to me!"

"He is a smart person, knows manners, easy to get along with, always cheerful, independent, his voice is good and also good at dancing, and most importantly he is brave. Once in a while try to look him in the eye, you will never find the slightest fear in it. Even I think he's like he's been experiencing the sweetness of the world, that's all I know. There may be many advantages that I do not know. You're the lucky one to get it, so appreciate him!"

"Gruesome, dad until like that watching someone. Aren't you afraid he'd be disappointed if you knew you were watching him?"

Maybe dad had a point too, when he was still my secretary, the reports submitted to me were quite satisfactory, even the board of directors were satisfied as well. Even though he himself had a hobby of skipping college, I didn't expect him to make a better report than Valen.

"The day before your wedding, I told him. At that time he was just a little surprised, but after that he smiled at me instead. Your wife is quite interesting, I can't guess how her mind works."

"If you're done talking then leave!"

Dad keeps talking about Nisa, I'm sick enough to remember about her.

"God...why did you keep trying to kick me out? I'm not finished talking! I want to talk about something important, it still has something to do with your wife. So I think you should know..."

"Did he make another problem?" asked Keyran in a lazy tone.

"No, it's a company problem, it's not really a serious problem either. Since you're officially married, this automatically affects both sides of the company as well. So I want to establish a cartel-cooperative relationship with your wife's family-owned company."

(Cartels are cooperation between similar companies within a certain period of time, and each remains independent, its purpose is to dominate the market)

"Nisa family-owned companies are included in medium-sized companies, an opportunity for them to work with large companies like us. They'll definitely take it."

"Your guess is wrong, I used to think the same as you. But, in fact, they refused. The uncle of your wife who is in control of the company actually wants to accept it. But your father-in-law turned him down, and their final decision was to reject the offer."

"Huh!? Is it possible that my father-in-law is as stupid as his son? He was so stupid for refusing such a great opportunity. But, to reject the offer of the father also needs a strong reason. What kind of reason did my father-in-law give me?" keyran asked with a confused face.

"Your father-in-law reasoned to want to advance the company with reasonable efforts, not relying on nepotism. He agreed to work with other big companies. Actually your father-in-law is also very capable, even I had the feeling that he could guess the next step of our company. Isn't that like avoiding us indirectly?"

"I agree with you, it sounds like they're trying to avoid us. But why did you tell me this? Do you want me to do something for you?"

"You are really smart. You are my son! I want you to ask your wife this, so she might know why she's trying to avoid us."

"I guarantee that Nisa doesn't know at all! His day's work was just lying down and playing games on his phone. He even skipped college a lot, that kind of person might interfere in the company."

"Dad said do it do it! Is it really that hard to ask such an easy question to him?" snarled mr. Muchtar.

Hehe, maybe with this there will be an interaction between you and my son-in-law. Hopefully the problems between you can be resolved.

"Yes yes, I will ask. Now go!" keyran said as if to force.

"All right, dad's gone." Mr. Muchtar hurried out, but a step away from the door he suddenly turned around and said, "Key, don't forget to make a grandchild for me!" said Mr. Muchtar with emphasis and after that he immediately left the room.

"Yourf..."

I can go crazy if I keep being forced like this! But he's my father, my parents are the only ones left. I can only obey his will. If only you knew that I had tried repeatedly to make it, but still failed. Even now I am no longer interested in Nisa, why am I interested in second-hand goods?

...At the same time, the library...

...••••••...

"Nani!? Seriously your request?" nisa asked as if she could not believe it.

"Yes, so what? You promised you would fulfill it! Even if it's hard for you, you still have to do it!" terry said in a pushy tone.

"Terry.. Your request is ridiculous! I also feel insulted by your request! Ask for the others!"

"Tsk! Don't be so insulted, it's so fast for you! I'm just asking you to be a normal girl, what's the trouble with that?"

"You insulted me! You're not saying I'm abnormal. I told you, from birth I was normal! Why do you think I'm abnormal, huh!?" nisa's objection seems to be unacceptable.

"Because there's no way a normal person would act like you, you're a freak! Even when it makes your problems look so happy, it's not normal. But, if you keep insisting on refuting, then I will change my request!"

"Yes, yeah. hurry up and say!"

"You have to stop making trouble or breaking campus rules! You only add to my work if you still make trouble. Do you think you can escape my surveillance? You underestimate me too much! I'll try to gather enough evidence to get you dropped out of college!"       

"Ckck... Why did it get so bad? What kind of trouble have I made?"

"Saniaaa.. Please be aware! The trouble you have created is so much! You've been truanting, coming in late, doodling walls, smashing pots in the park, vandalizing gym equipment, stealing dangerous chemical compounds from the lab, running around the corridors, saying rudely in public places, disrespectful to the lecturer, making a ruckus and fighting with the senior, even you once slapped the vice dean in front of many people! I wonder why you haven't dropped out of college yet?"

"Haha, that's.I slapped the vice dean because he deserved it, when there was a call of the parents who came was my father, he was shameless about being flirtatious to my father. That's why I slapped him to represent my mother. My father also justified my actions..." Nisa then turned her face away. "I'm also confused why I didn't drop out. And I will try to fulfill your request. The only problem I'm making is that, right?" Nisa suddenly grinned.

Hehehe, I didn't have to drop out of course because of my father-in-law's excessive affection. I had a warning letter before, but I couldn't get one anymore. No matter how much trouble I make, the campus will forever let me do as I please.

"It's not just that, the problems you're making are a lot. I even made a special note for you. And the most intolerable problem is when you burn down the campus auditorium. The college believes it was just a technical fault, but I'm sure it was you too! O Sania the Trouble Lady, confess all your evils!"

"Where could I possibly burn the auditorium? It has nothing to do with me at all!"

Actually it was also my fault, at first I just wanted to cancel the show at that time, then I sabotaged the power cord, but I didn't think there would be a fire. Thankfully, there were no casualties.

"Huh! Don't be so innocent in front of me, I know you actually have the soul of a criminal, a psychopath, and a barbarian! I don't think you're 100% normal!"

"Whatever you want! Obviously our business is done, I'm leaving!" Nisa intends to leave, but once again Terry holds her hand. "Buseeet... What do you want? What's up, huh!?" Nisa immediately shook Terry's hand.

"I remember one thing, your first name is Nisa right?"

"Yup, why then? Want to mock me for that name market?" asked Nisa with a cynical look.

"You're married too, right?"

"Yes, are you going to make fun of me because what I married was an old man? I'm telling you, don't interfere in my business!"

"Who wants to interfere? I just wanted to tell you that there was a man at the front gate of the campus looking for someone named Nisa, he also confessed that Nisa was his wife. And maybe it's your husband..."

"What time?"

What did Keyran look for me for? He was still crashing this morning, and it was still working hours. Is there a serious matter he wants to talk to me about?

"Splash look there! He was also mobbed by many girls loh~ Maybe in the eyes of your husband's girls is quite interesting... are you not jealous?" tease Terry.

But not a single girl dared to approach him, her aura looked cold and terrifying.

"Why am I jealous? I don't care about him at all!" Nisa rushes out of the library and leaves Terry.

Seeing Nisa walking away, Terry just kept quiet and looked at her, and after that she shook her head. "Sania... Sanias..."

Though you already have a husband, but you even become the CEO of HW Group bed warmer. The bad wife to the husband!

Nisa then rushes to meet the person claiming to be her husband in front of the campus gate. But when he got there, he didn't see Keyran. But he was surprised by the presence of Jonathan who had greeted him with a smile.

Instantly Nisa immediately ran towards Jonathan with a carefree feeling, she also felt disbelief that Jonathan was really waiting for her. "Joe, you know where my college is! Why didn't you call me first? Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"

"It's a surprise for you. And well.. I've also been waiting for you long enough, so how are you going to make up for your mistake?" jonathan asked with a gentle smile.

"Well... wow... once~ calculation But, I'm the one in charge of it, let's go to the cafe, I'll buy everything!" Nisa then pulls Jonathan's hand with vigor.

"Wait a minute, do you want to walk? I brought a car..."

"Eh? I don't know if you have a car, but then just get in your car, I'll show you the place."

"Alright, come here..." Jonathan then takes Nisa to ride his car. While going up, Jonathan also took the initiative to open the car door for Nisa. "Ladies first..." Jonathan acted as if it were a personal ministry to Nisa.

"Thank you, Jonathan..." Nisa smiled and immediately rushed up to the car.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the cafe. They both also ordered coffee and did not forget the bitterballen snack. At first, the two of them told each other about their experiences. But during a conversation with Jonathan, Nisa continues to put on a depressed look.

Jonathan begins to feel something strange with Nisa's attitude, because usually when he is with her Nisa always looks cheerful. Jonathan suddenly fell silent for a moment, after which he said, "Nisa, from earlier you look gloomy, are you in trouble?"

"Yes, my problem is quite a lot" Nisa said in a desperate tone.

"You can tell me, maybe I can help you eliminate the problems that burden you."

"Huft. As long as we are alive, we will continue to have problems. That problem cannot be eliminated. Besides, if I tell you that, it'll just make you bother."

"Haha, why do you think that? Did you forget I was unemployed? I like it when it comes to your business, I'm a lack of work. So tell me about your problem first, maybe I can help you reduce your problem..."

"It's not a big deal, it's just a matter of college work. I was told to make a report from the observations of a company. The problem is I've never made a report like this..."

"It's easy, I can help you!" jonathan said with confidence.

"really? Thanks Joe..." Nisa then took out the laptop from her bag. He moved a little closer to Jonathan. "Well, please help..." Nisa then grimaces Jonathan.

"Well, now which company is your object?"

"HW Group" said Nisa lightly.

"W-what!? I didn't hear wrong, did I? Are you serious? You should at least know the company well, do you know about such a big company?" jonathan asked as if he could not believe it.

"Yes, I understand. I also know everything about that number one company..."

I was a secretary at the company, of course I know very well about the management of HW Group.

"Nisa, the company was a little.." for a moment Jonathan fell silent, then he said, "What about other companies? SR Company Tbk for example?"

"..." for a moment Nisa was pensive, then she watched Jonathan from top to bottom. "It's the number two company in the city. No less good with HW Group" said Nisa with a soft smile.

"All right, you agreed. I will help you as much as I can!" Jonathan starts typing on Nisa's laptop.

"Joe, I'm so grateful to you..."

"It's nothing, it's so easy!"

"Oh yeah, why did you claim to be my husband?" asked Nisa curiously.

"Why indeed? Do you mind?" Nisa answered him with a nod, and Jonathan stopped doing his thing immediately. "Why do you mind?"

"Of course I object, it's a lie. Joe, I don't want you to lie, because once we lie then we will continue to lie. If you continue like that, you will become a fraud. So don't lie anymore!"

I don't want you to be a fraud like me.

"OK, I won't claim to be your husband anymore." Jonathan's face turned a little gloomy, but he continued to help Nisa's work.

"Well, here's dong." said Nisa with a smile.

Get to you Jonathan! My guess is correct, you are not a simple person. And actually I don't need your help, I'm just lazy to do it.

Jonathan seems to have a relationship with SR Company Tbk, later I have to contact Ivan immediately. Looks like Jonathan still doesn't know that I'm married. Ckck... All this is getting interesting, maybe I can add a little flavoring to it.
