"Ukhs..." Rintih Johan opened his eyes slowly staring at the surroundings that he recognized as his private room. His head felt the throbbing effects of a hangover last night.
Drunken up? Waitie? I drunk?
Johan immediately looked around his room once more. Seeing his body still wearing clothes last night. He breathed a sigh of relief because nothing had happened that something undesirable had happened.
"Good morning." Greet someone who came up from the door. Johan stared at the voice.
"Riko." Said Johan frowning to find Riko early in the morning in his room, at his home.
"What are you doing early in the morning at my house?" Johan asked still looking at Riko who put down a tray containing breakfast and drunken drink.
"It's eleven o'clock in the afternoon, it's noon, boss." Riko did not answer Johan's confused question.
"Oh yeah?" Johan gasped in shock again staring at the wall clock in his room. Showing eleven o'clock over ten minutes.
"Drink! Maybe it could ease the money for your hangover last night." Riko handed me a mini bottle of a drink-relief drink like a bottle of vitamin enhancer.
"I'm drunk?" Riko nodded.
"You're the one who drove me home?" Ask Johan again while drinking the drink. Riko was still silent yet to answer Johan's question again.
"Who's driving me?" Ask Johan again.
"Why is the boss drunk? Not even though the most anti-boss hit to drink alcoholic beverages?" Riko asked back. Johan was silent and did not answer. His face turned back. As if reminded of yesterday afternoon.
"Boss isn't afraid if your drunkenness is noticed by your wife?" Riko asked again to smash her heart. Johan remained silent.
"Bos know that alcohol is illegal?" Riko's question again struck him. He remembered his memories with his wife.
Whatever your problems, whatever your anxieties, no matter how desperate you are, leave everything to Allah SWT mas, because only He is where we surrender. Instead of drinking alcohol or doing other desperate things.
The words Karina had once spoken once again ringed in her ears. But when he saw his wife hugged by another man made Johan back in despair.
"I'll take a shower first." Johan chose to avoid Riko's question.
"alright. I just wanted to say something." Riko said that Johan turned to look at Riko with a question mark.
"Be careful with your secretary!" Riko's sweat made Johan frown even more.
"You mean Celine? What's wrong with her?" Ask Johan.
"Name's Celine? Isn't she your brother's deceased ex-lover?" Riko asked back.
She does know the life story of Johan and her brother. It was all because Riko had once been asked to seek information about her brother's past before coming into contact with Karina.
And one of them he found a woman named Celine who turned out to be the former lover of the late boss's brother who already had a daughter who was the daughter of the late boss's brother and also the nephew of the boss as well. But he doesn't know how he looks. Because they've been separated a long time since high school.
"Why are you asking me to be careful of him?" Johan.
"He brought you home and..." Riko paused her speech.
"And what?" Johan was curious.
"He almost undressed you if I didn't come. When I caught him like he was caught by a thief but he had time to say if only unbutton your shirt to make it more comfortable." Clearly Riko made Johan frown in wonder and immediately his face flushed red with anger at the behavior of his secretary. For a long time he wanted to throw him out of his job but he couldn't because his job was always perfect.
"Say! What else is done?" Angry Johan stared flushed at Riko imagining her body being seduced by another woman who was not his wife.
"none. I came and kicked him out because I took his place. He left this house." Obviously Riko again.
"Suckhead." Johan Umbilical.
"Everything I'm just reminding you to be careful with your secretary."
"Thank you." Replied Johan back into the bathroom in his room.

"Where are you?" Ryan asked the doctor that morning when he called Johan's phone.
"Can we meet?" Ryan asked in an anxious tone and sounded hurried.
"What's wrong?" Johan asked in surprise, not like his best friend usually invited him to meet.
"There's something I want to say. It matters!" Ryan said in a serious tone.
"About what?" Ask Johan.
"Your wife..." Not done Ryan talk, his phone suddenly grabbed someone and taken it, immediately turned off the call.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Ryan asked to take back his phone.
"No. Before you talk to me." Ivan's doctor replied that he was the one who took Ryan's cell phone.
"What's wrong?" Ryan was still angry at the breakfast incident.
"Don't say anything to Johan!" It is forbidden for Ivan's doctor to look seriously at Ryan.
"What does brother mean?" Ask Ryan.
"Sister just asked for help. Don't tell Johan anything about Karina! She needs time to meet her husband." Pinta Ivan made Ryan squeak.
"What does brother mean? Brother want to hide someone's wife? Brother shouldn't be entitled to any of that. They were married and became husband and wife. Brother knows how desperate Johan left his wife? Even yesterday she saw brother hugging Karina. What does it mean to hide longer from her?" Ryan was angry.
"It's not like that Ryan, you don't know anything that's happened to them. Karina was not ready to meet her husband. Let him calm down to prepare. You don't know anything." Ivan was upset.
"Self know what, if they have a problem. It's both their business. Brother has no right to interfere."
"Sister just doesn't want Karina's disease to recur, you know what's with all that. I know my sister's suffering from a year ago. Until only a few days ago he was declared completely healed even though he had to keep himself from relapsing again." Ivan made Ryan speechless. She did not know about Karina's disease, the news she heard the last time there was a cyst in Karina's womb but she did not know after that.
"But brother...Johan's..."
Cclek
The two did not continue to say so as to see who opened the door, Karina appeared and looked at the two with a sad eye.
"What happened to my husband?" Karina looked at Ryan.
"Johan got down, he got drunk last night. Even he saw you yesterday hugged a man. I don't think he knew Ivan's brother was your brother. And maybe it got him drunk on a misunderstanding." Obviously Ryan looked at Karina and glanced at Ivan who was also silent.
"Sister." A gentle call from Karina made Ivan turn to look at Karina.
"Yes?"
"Do I have to see him now?" Karina asked her sister for permission.
"Wait for papa to tell you!" Answer Ivan.
"Papa? What's papa gonna do?" Karina asked confused as well as Ryan also did not understand what the relationship of the father with the meeting Karina and her husband.
"We just wait! And you're Ryan. Tell me your intention to bring Karina to her husband. Before you sassy." Tegur Ivan's.
"Come, rest in the room!" Invite Ivan to make Karina want to not obey his brother's words. It was always like that if she asked and intended to see her husband.
