Karina woke up when she heard the voice she missed so much. The woman rushed down from the bed and out of the room. His eyes could not hold back the tears that suddenly fell when he saw the husband who was not with him for almost a day yesterday was standing not far from him with a shirt whose arms had been rolled up. The body is put in his hands. A tie that was neatly placed on his neck yesterday is also seen dangling from his shirt pocket.
"Hey how to cry?" Bisma immediately approached Karina. Hugged her tightly while wiping away her tears.
"When will I be home?"
"Bust until. Sorry yes." Karina nodded her head. Inhaling deeply the scent of her husband that she so longed for.
"Why did it go so long? He said just go for a second?"
"There's something unexpected urgent that I need to do. But now I'm home. Don't cry anymore yeah, I don't have the heart to see it."
"alright. I won't cry anymore." Karina nodded obediently.
"Dear I'm tired, can you hang out for a second?" Bhishma looked at the face of Karina who was in front of him.
"Hem." Bhishma and Karina went into the room to release their new yearning apart this time.

Bhishma looked at Karina who was sleeping in her arms. Today Bhishma does not go to the office and works from home. In the afternoon, Bisma accompanied Karina to watch the cinema and then took a walk in the mall to buy pregnant milk and some snacks. After returning home, Bisma invites Karina to swim.
Having lived this day, Bhishma pondered and thought a lot. He weighs whether he should tell Karina about Vera what not. Karina once asked him what made him less focused all day. But the bisma who still could not determine his attitude could only cover it up by saying that he was having a lot of work. Of course Karina immediately believed. And this makes Bhishma feel guilty about covering up this matter from Karina.
Although there was nothing between Bhishma and Vera, Bhishma felt compelled to tell his wife. But after thinking that Karina and Vera would never meet, she decided not to tell him. After all, Bhishma will never see Vera again.
"I'm sorry, honey. In the meantime I still can't tell you this. Later if things get better, I'll tell you."

Same with Bhishma who has been living a normal life with Karina, Vera has also started to work. Jihan was also allowed to go home a week ago. And from the day the woman went to the office for an interview. But since it was a recommendation from Bhishma, Vera did an interview only to find out the right position for her to work in. That day Vera was able to start working.
Bisma usually never interfere with workers in branch companies, Bisma only conduct inspections once a month. And hold the branch leadership accountable for reporting the results of work in regular meetings at the central company at the beginning of each month. So when Bhishma personally put people into branch companies, there was a lot of gossip going around.
Although Andi arranged everything for Vera, but everyone in the company knew that Andi would only act according to Bhishma's orders. So that's why they started talking about Bhishma and Vera's relationship.
Gossip in the office there's no way Vera doesn't know about it. He did not want to create trouble for the Bhishma who had helped him. So he tried to work hard to prove his ability. Proving that he deserves a recommendation from Bhishma. In addition, Vera also no longer contacts Bhishma. He will only contact Andi to inform him that he and Jihan are fine.
"Have you ever met that woman?" Vera, who was in the bathroom, overheard the conversation of some female employees who were fixing their plans.
"Not yet"
"It has. I once passed him. And I think he's arrogant. He didn't even look at me."
"really? I wondered what he had until he got the attention of Lord Bhishma."
"Is she beautiful?"
"Lumayan. She's beautiful."
"Surely she used herself to seduce lord Bhishma."
"Eh don't be fooled by the outward appearance. Nowadays many plain-faced girls are even more aggressive. Have you ever met him?"
"I've met him in the cafeteria. And he's pretty polite as a new employee."
"I'm curious about his appearance."
"But we better not interfere in Mr. Bhishma's affairs. He is a powerful man. It didn't matter if he had a woman on duty to accompany him. I'm sure that woman is one of the backlogs in this branch. And there must be other women in the other branch. So while making a visit there will be someone accompanying."
Braaks....
All the women were shocked when one of the doors that was not far away from them opened so hard. They were surprised to see who came out of the door. The face of Vera, the woman they were gossiping about looked unfriendly. His face was flushed with eyes that were also red and filled with emotion.
Vera looked at the four women inside the toilet with a fierce look.
"You..who are you? You're crazy, aren't you?" Someone asked frantically when he saw Vera's scary-looking face.
"She's that woman, Vera." Whisper of the woman next to him who had met Vera.
"Oh you're that pel2cur woman?" The panic that was shown was gone and immediately changed with a face full of ridicule.
"You're here to work, not gossip. Especially talk about your boss at will." Vera pointed at the four people sharply.
"Hey why are you nyolot? Doesn't that mean that it's all true? Heh!"
"Whether denying the allegations could prove that the allegations are true. And you dare to talk about Lord Bhishma carelessly. You don't know anything about lord Bhishma."
"If that's not true why are you insistent?"
"Would I accuse you that you are a Pel2cur would you just shut up!?" Vera glared her eyes at the woman.
"You! How dare you!" The woman was about to attack Vera. But was arrested by his friends.
"You have no right to say anything about Mr. Bhishma. So don't say anything you don't understand. If I hear you guys talking about this bad thing again, I won't hesitate to make calculations on you guys." Vera threatened the four before she came out of the bathroom in a bad mood.
For Vera, Bhishma was not only her best friend's sister, but she was like the angel of help that God had sent to answer all her prayers. He's been tired of living his life all this time, the last time he was fired, Vera was desperate. He also has the intention to leave Jihan in the orphanage so that her son gets a decent life. While himself will re-enter the black world that he had painstakingly abandoned.
But Bisma came to give him help. Not only does it help him find the best doctor and pay for all the medical expenses Jihan is still running, Bisma also provides a place to live and also a good job. Especially after he knew that the salary he should get was not that big. The bisma gave him money without wanting him to know. Vera increasingly felt insecure about Bhishma.
Now, someone is vilifying Bhishma because of her. Of course Vera doesn't accept it. They could have snatched it. He was used to being bullied, ridiculed and insulted. It's okay to accept again. But they're gossiping about Bhishma with something very evil. He cannot not defend.
