"Rani?" Diandra looked at Bi Minah and the woman in front of him alternately.
"Yes, Neng. This is Rani, my niece .. she's here to deliver my order cake." Bi Minah approached the three men and picked up a plastic bag filled with cookies.
Dinadra shook his head slowly, he still could not believe that the woman was not Diana. His defense collapsed, his feet stepping back with trembling hands and a disappointed look.
His body was shaky, until he almost fell, if Gio did not immediately catch him.
"Darling?" Gio's trying to resuscitate Diandra.
"No way, she must be Ana, I'm sure," Diandra murmured in a soft voice.
Gio hugged Diandra, he rubbed his wife's back, trying to strengthen.
"Let's talk about this again, now let's go inside first," Gio invited, while holding the Diandra.
However, Diandra's body grew limp, he seemed unable to walk, his legs limp as if boneless.
Gio finally carried Diandra ala bridal style. He was very worried to see his wife's situation that looked very hard hit.
"He's Ana, he's Ana," Diandra muttered, leaning her head against Gio's chest. His body was limp, his gaze was blank, Diandra actually looked extremely crushed.
Gio did not reply, he preferred to continue walking to his room, so that Diandra could rest. This meeting too shook his wife's psychic, Gio did not want Diandra would be sick if it continued this way.
Randi who happened to cross paths with Gio and Diandra, widened his eyes in surprise to see Gio holding Diandra.
What else saw the chaotic-looking Diandra with a pale face and tears that kept breaking.
All this time he had never seen the wife of his boss shed tears. However, now he can see for himself how the woman slumped.
"What's up?" asked Randi, approaching the couple.
Gio paused for a while before climbing the stairs.
"You try to meet Bi Minah and ask about the woman she was with. I'm waiting to hear from you" Gio told his assistant.
Randi seemed to frown, he did not understand the current situation. However, he also nodded his head, then resigned to carry out Gio's orders.
Gio continued his steps up the stairs, after Randi left them.
Slowly Gio began lowering Dinadra's body onto the bed, he was about to get up when Diandra's hand held him.
"You rest first, let this be my and Randi's business" said Gio, trying to calm Diandra down.
"He's Ana, I'm sure he's Ana." Only that word kept coming from Diandra's trembling lips ever since.
Gio spread his body beside Diandra, gently hugging Diandra's body which still felt trembling. His hand gently stroked his wife's back.
"Yes, I believe in you. But, let me and Randi now investigate what happened to her, as well as making sure that she was really Ana," Gio said, whispering softly in Diandra's ear.
Diandra looks down on her face, seeking comfort from her husband's warm body, though the shadow of Ana's rejection of her always upsets her mind.
The cry of Diandra slowly stopped, now there was only a soft cry, the rest of the deep sadness in the heart.

Randi came out of the house, he did see there was Bi Minah and one woman in hijab. They seemed to be talking quite seriously.
Randi frowned, the face of the woman who was chatting with Bi Minah looked familiar. However, he did not know where he had seen it.
It seems like Randi has not realized that the face of the woman is similar to Diandra.
Curious, Randi walked up to the two of them.
"Who is this, Bi?" ask Randi.
He had been working for a long time in the Gio family, until he became the second person after the most respected Gio in the Purnomo family.
Bi Minah looked turned her head, the two women looked surprised to see the arrival of Randi.
Randi turned his eyes to the hijab-wearing woman beside Bi Minah. His eyes seemed narrowed watching the appearance of the woman from top to bottom.
She felt familiar, her heart told her that she had met him. However, somehow he forgot where they had met before.
"Who is this?" asked Randi, asking for clarity from Bi Minah.
Bi Minah seemed to swallow her saliva, she looked hesitant and afraid to answer Randi's simple question.
Randi does look friendly and cheerful while being relaxed. However, he will be very firm and indiscriminate, while being in serious mode like this.
Gio's assistant, highly respected in almost the entire Punomo family-owned company, became one of the most influential of the entire Gio family.
Gio's father even gave three percent of the shares in the family-owned company Purnomo, as a guarantee for Randi's life in the future.
"I–ini Rani, Dane. My niece," Bi Minah replied with a stamped tone of voice.
Randi was getting suspicious. He was wondering exactly what happened until Diandra looked so messed up as she walked into the house.
"What did he do to Diandra? Why does getting inside the Diandra seem chaotic?" ask Randi again.
The look in her eyes was so serious and intimidating that it made it hard for women of both ages to think.
"I–it's just a misunderstanding, sir. I'm sorry, for my mistake." Now it is Rani's turn to answer Randi's question.
"Misunderstand me?" Randi was staring suspiciously.
"Misunderstand what?" ask Randi again.
Rani looks at each other with Bi Minah. Randi could clearly see the fear and nervousness that the two women were trying to hide.
"S–I don't know either, sir. It looks like Non Dian thinks I'm someone else" Rani replied.
Randi looked back at Rani, he put everything he saw into the depths of her memory, just in case. Given this moment he did not yet know what the real problem was.
"All right, you can get out of here" said Randi.
"Good, Sir. Excuse me," answered Rani, then saw Bi Minah again before actually going to the house sari.
"Wait!" Randi again gave instructions as Rani was about to reach the gate.
Rani fell silent, she turned back and looked at Randi.
"Have we met?" randi asked, shrugging his head.
Rani looks squeezed the tip of her hijab, all of it is clearly visible in Randi's eyes.
"I don't think so, sir," answered Rani, trying not to look nervous, even though her voice was still shaking.
"Hem, okay. You can leave now," said Randi again, shaking one of his hands, telling Rani to leave immediately.
Rani nodded, she resumed her steps that had stopped.
Bi Minah was saying goodbye, once she saw Rani had gone out of the gate. Facing a shocking incident in the morning was quite draining, so he needed to rest for a moment.
His body was no longer young, it was indeed easy to feel tired. However, he also could not ignore his duty of guarding this villa.
This job was actually easy because Bi Minah and Mang Aan were only assigned to take care of the villa, with a sizable salary.
When no one is staying overnight, their work will feel more relaxed. Only when there are people staying overnight or the arrival of the Purnomo family, they will seem busier than usual.
Randi called one of the men who just came from inside, he was making coffee in the kitchen, when there was an incident between Rani and Diandra.
"You follow the woman, and find out all about her" ordered Randi who immediately got a nod from his men.
He stared at the coffee in the glass that had not been drunk. Keep it first in the guard post and then follow the woman appointed by Randi.
The task is the main one. That was the principle applied by Gio and Randi to all his men. They must prioritize the duties of the superior first compared to others.
