A Wife's Escape

Chapter 8. Tasteless

Nisa smiled cheerfully as she entered her room, for her today everything went smoothly as she wished. The early stages of his plan have been successful, he is happy because it makes his chances of staying together with Ricky successful.

Finally get home .. I take a shower first, then take a break. It turns out the distance of the company to the house is quite far, but it is not unexpected that the cost of taking a taxi is now rather expensive. Hiks ..my money, if only my SIM had not been confiscated by my father.

After finishing the bath, Nisa immediately lay on her mattress without drying her hair first. He only thought while staring out the window of the room for quite a while.

"Hah ... today it's surprising, it's not unexpected that finding a job is easy enough." Nisa sighed, she then pensively and started thinking about something.

Well, the first stage of success. But ... Isn't this too easy? Even the other participants who seemed better than me who failed quite a lot. What makes me different is my younger age.

"Don't .." muttered Nisa with a gloomy expression.

Isn't the CEO a perverted parent?! And she sees a 19-year-old girl as an easy prey? Amit-amit! Don't let my boss be a pervert! Hiyy .. so disgusted!

But Valen says tomorrow has to be a beautiful dress-up. Don't want ah, fear that what I think will come true! For anticipation should not be groomed, just polosan! And I won't tie my hair!

"Nisa! Quick down!" nisa's mother shouted from the outside which sounded quite loud.

"Yes, mom!" Nisa yelled back

"Quick! The food's cold!"

"Yes-iya ... a minute!"

"Woi down!!"

"Yes, Momsky!"

Geez, mother became vicious only to me, even though I was the only daughter.

Nisa rushed to get down. When he arrived at the dining room, he suddenly became excited when he saw what dishes were served at the dining table.

"Wah .. tumben mom cook rendang! There's still a sop like beef ribs! Mom's mood must be happy now. I'm getting a round of arisan, huh?" asked Nisa while in a hurry to pick up the plate.

"Mother is not getting a wedge. If you get a scratch, buy new jewelry. All of this food comes from Ricky. He brought your favorite food."

"Huh? From sister-in-law? When did sister-in-law come here?" ask Reihan.

"Reihan, stop calling him brother-in-law!" snapped Gilang in an annoyed tone.

"Okay dad," replied Reihan in a resigned tone.

"...." - ".On the other hand Nisa was just silent. He doesn't think that his father yelled at Reihan just for referring to Ricky as brother-in-law.

Dad told Reihan to stop calling Ricky as brother-in-law, that's a sign you expect my relationship with Ricky to end. I knew that you meant well, and you also expected me to think about the fate of the family, because it was about the consequences of that match. But is it necessary to give such a clear warning?

"Why did Ricky come here?" ask Nisa.

"Last noon he came here looking for you. He said you weren't on campus, so he came here with food. He thinks you're sick" replied the mother.

"Then why didn't you come to college?" ask dad with eyes like he's going to finish people off.

"On that .. I have permission from the lecturer. The lecturer told me to work on the project outside. That's why I'm not in college." Nisa answered while taking her eyes off.

"Oh, lecturer huh?" ask the father with a look of disbelief.

"No, I remember wrongly, I mean the dean. The college dean told me to! If you don't believe it, ask the person yourself."

"Oh," replied the father briefly and then continued eating.

Nisa then sat down, she joined to eat together with her family. Not long ago when Nisa joined, suddenly her mother returned to talk.

"Nisa, haven't you said anything to Ricky?" ask her with a worried tone.

STOOP!

Nisa slammed her spoon on the plate, everyone immediately stopped eating and turned to look at her.

"What is there to talk about?" nisa asked as if she did not accept her mother's words just now.

"I'm sick of continuing to discuss this issue, and it's a matter of our own family. I don't want Ricky to get involved. If you want me to think about the fate of our family in the future, okay, I appreciate that wish. But, I also need time ...."

"You know Ricky's a doctor, and his parents have a pharmaceutical company. What if when I explain this to Ricky, he wants to get involved and help? Where do I put my pride? My status with Ricky is only a girlfriend, is it ethical if someone with that status asks 2 billion to redeem me? All of that will only make him burdened! The debt is a disgrace, I don't want anyone else to know this ...."

"Please open your eyes, the food you're eating right now is a gift from Ricky. I don't care why you eat it, whether it's wasteful if thrown away, or even because it's delicious. So I beg ... I can already think about my own way of life, even though my relationship with Ricky has to end, I want to end it well."

After hearing Nisa's reply, they all instantly fell silent. Even the usually harmonious dinner turned the atmosphere into tense.

Nisa still did not think she had said all that in front of all her family. Discussing about the matter now made him lose his appetite. Even the food he liked turned out to be bland.

"I'm done!" nisa said in a harsh tone while walking away from the dining room.

After Nisa left, her mother now also fell silent and contemplated something.

Did I put my daughter under pressure? He didn't even finish his meal and just walked away. Forgive your mother, Nisa. I'm just worried about you.

"Reihan, Dimas!"

"What's the matter, mom?" answer them both at the same time.

"You believe in your brother, don't you?"

"...." - ".Reihan and Dimas were silent for a moment.

"Why do you ask such a thing? We are family, so we must trust each other. Aren't you, brother? Brother Rei?" ask Dimas.

"Yes .. although sister Nisa always tortures us, but she is reliable," replied Reihan.

"Yes, your father was right. It's not a choice between life and death" she said.

If only the woman knew what the future would bring, then she would never utter a sentence that she would probably regret for a lifetime.

***

"Name*t!!" yelled Nisa who was feeling frustrated.

Again at this time the general anxiety disorder he suffered relapsed. With her trembling hands, she looked for her antidepressant medication and immediately swallowed a few grains.

He sat on the edge of the bed, and after a while his breathing returned to normal and his hands were no longer shaking.

"Huh?" Nisa turned her head, she saw her phone that was on the nightstand in a state of a lighted screen. He took the phone and checked if it was important.

"Jeez, 37 missed calls! Ricky tried to call me since noon. Unfortunately I was still interviewing, so I don't know."

"I'd better apologize and call him now." Nisa then tried to call Ricky, lapse 3 seconds then immediately lifted.

"Hello Ricky" Nisa said in a soft voice.

"Hello palamu! I was looking for nothing on campus, nothing at home. Where have you been?!" Ricky's voice sounded quite loud though without activating the speaker, it was obvious that he was very angry.

"So I had a need outside. What's looking for me?"

"It's wrong if I want to meet my own boyfriend? Next time you want to go anywhere, tell the person at home first. Not like this, no one knows where you're going! Don't repeat it again!"

"I'm sorry, next time I'll say. I'm sorry I just called back, because I was silent."

"Yes, next time don't repeat! You don't make anyone worry about it, do you?" asked Ricky whose voice sounded soft.

"Yes, there won't be another time."

"Oh yes, by the way .. Have you eaten or not?"

"I eat the food you love. I finished half by myself, it's too good. Thank you, honey."

"That's nothing! Already yes Nisa, good night, sweet dreams honey!"

"Yes, honey ...."

TUT ...

The phone call ended, but Nisa's body felt weak. He lowered his head, unconsciously there were teardrops falling soaked the screen of the phone.

"Why ... Why do you have to be this good Ricky? What if you find out later and I hurt your heart?"

Nisa wiped her tears, she then looked up and patted her own two cheeks.

"Damn it, don't be this pessimistic! Remember that the original plan has worked, at least there is hope! Take advantage of the remaining 5 days to end that agreement!"

***

CRING ...

The alarm set by Nisa sounded. His hands shut off the alarm.

"Hoam .. It's morning. Yes, today is the first day of work! Come get ready, just can't be late!"

Nisa tries to appear like a career woman as best as possible, and unknowingly she spends quite a long time. When he realized that the time was up, he immediately rushed to the office.

He finally arrived in front of his own room. Then he saw the watch on his left hand.

"Hahh .. thankfully there is still a quarter of an hour. Hopefully the boss hasn't come yet" he murmured with gasping breaths.

Suddenly came someone who was none other than Valen. "Nisa! You've come, come quickly! I'll introduce your boss!"

"L-yes!"

Valen then invites Nisa to immediately go to the CEO's room.

TOK TOK!

"Excuse me sir, I'm Valen!"

"Lake in!"

"Come on Nisa, don't be nervous!"

"Yes!"

Nisa's spirit! Let's make a good first impression!

They both immediately entered the room. Valen immediately approached and stood beside the CEO.

"Sir, I will introduce a new secretary!"

"Continue" the CEO said with a flat expression.

Valen immediately turned to look at Nisa. "Secretary, watch! He is your boss, CEO of HW Group, Mr. Keyran Kartawijaya!"

"...." - ".Nisa gawking.

Wow, this guy is so charming.
