Grandpa's Choice Man

War's Not Done, man

Fara who was about to ask about the audit to Arjuna was immediately standing in front of Arjuna. His brain seemed to stop working for a moment until he did not know how to see Arjuna who was holding Tiara, while Tiara was crying without sound to make his heart also touched. Arjuna who had seen Fara immediately raised his hand without speaking as a signal for Fara to delay her question and leave immediately before Tiara saw her. Fara complied with Arjuna's orders and dared not speculate anything.

After feeling relieved, Tiara kept her head away from Arjuna's chest. In his heart, of course he felt very guilty crying on the chest of a man other than her husband but he did not know what to do and could not resist Arjuna's very sudden response. Because, he was feeling the need for a backrest and did not think more than that.

"Did you feel better?" ask Arjuna sincerely.

"Udah. Sorry and thank you, sir," Tiara replied embarrassedly as she wiped away the rest of her tears.

"It's okay. What was? Is your family doing anything? Or are you sick?" smirk Arjuna was so anxious.

"It's okay, sir. Just a little problem," said Tiara trying to calm down.

"Yes, that's it. If you want to tell a story sometime, just a story," said Arjuna did not force.

"Sir, can I change my seat with Mas Toni? I want to sit down with Sherly's mom. It is not that I do not like or feel uncomfortable sitting next to Mr. Juna, but I want to sit with my fellow women. I'm afraid there will be misunderstandings and slander between us" Tiara said expectantly.

"Yes. I-i understand. Move," said Arjuna a little disappointed but increased his admiration for Tiara because he was very trying to take care of himself and indirectly also keep Arjuna's good name in that context.

Politely, Tiara moved to sit behind Arjuna's chair to exchange with Toni. Although, looking at Tiara's eyes, Sherly dared not say anything because she had heard Tiara's conversation with Arjuna herself. He chose to smile and be silent because he understood that right now all Tiara needed was calmness.

...****************...

At 15:15, Arjuna and his men arrived in Yogyakarta. They booked a taxi online and headed to the hotel where they were staying. After finishing cleaning up, Tiara helped Fara and Sherly to prepare the things needed for tomorrow's audit activity.

After dinner, Fara and Sherly decide to take a break while scrolling through social media but soon rush to bed as they have to get up early to prepare and re-examine the fittings tomorrow. Toni and Kevin choose to play games together before going to bed, while Arjuna is busy reading various files apparently. Tiara broke away before returning to the room she had to share with Sherly and Fara.

Tiara sat by the hotel pool thinking about what she should do to address this. Want to ask but already lazy and too sick to discuss. If you do not ask, it is the same as trapping yourself in pseudo-thought and just circling in your own prejudices. After weighing, it seems better to ask first to Rama because he wants to learn from experience.

Tiara immediately contacted Rama by sending a photo that was sent an unknown number. Of course, his mind was automatically fixed on Selvi. He also sent a long, very painful message and a screenshot of the number that contacted him. A minute later, Rama called Tiara.

"I'm sorry that I haven't been able to be the perfect wife for Brother, yet" regretted Tiara withstanding her heartache.

"You don't have to talk macem. Believe me, don't you?" asked Rana worriedly but remained firm.

"Eitherway. I don't seem to deserve you, brother. I'm still too childish for an established and mature brother" Tiara replied blankly looking up at the black sky.

"Darling, however you are I will not demand, except your trust in me. I accept all of you more and less. I accept the bawel and be quiet. I accept obedience and defy you. I accept everything about you," persuaded Rama firmly but in a soft voice.

"But, isn't that a very clear picture to be proof of, Bang? You're very happy with him. You guys are very compatible and look equally mature," denied Tiara half-believing.

"Dear, for God's sake. I've never photographed posing that way with Selvi. I could have sworn it wasn't me. In fact, I met Selvi only in job forums and never took a picture with her that close. I was stressed and frustrated, but I didn't think of moving to another heart either. I face it all myself without involving anyone in this. I am not looking for another woman to make a second home. You know for yourself how Selvi. After all that befell our family, can you trust him right away? By Allah, I love you," Rama denied honestly and tried to convince his wife.

Tiara chose silence to go a little deeper.

"From the problems we have faced, I learned that if anyone tells a bad story about someone, respond wisely or quietly. Because, what they see is not necessarily right and what they hear is not necessarily true" continued Rama has not given up.

"But the photo is definitely a recent photo of you with him. Still want to deny it, Bang?" tanya Tiara is still in doubt.

"I'll prove that the photo is fake. But, if it's proven, you should go home. As long as we are far apart, there are many chances for haters to keep separating" Rama said.

"If it is my dear brother, stop meeting with Selvi so that he does not become more so. As long as you are still meeting, Selvi will always think of various ways to approach you. And again, there are many opportunities for him to take you back," Tiara said in a rising voice.

"I promise this project is with him last time. Once this is done, I won't be working with the company he's in contact with. I beg you to be a little patient, dear," persuaded Rama to soften.

"It's not a matter of which is the priority. If you are asked who is the priority, of course you are the answer. But I work for you too, honey. For this project, I also sacrificed a lot of money. It is also impossible to suddenly decide unilaterally for personal reasons like this. Here, the professionalism plays a role. In this project, we are co-workers I hope you understand the situation. I try to keep your feelings in my own way. If it turns out that you feel that way, I'm sorry I haven't been the best for you. Honey, I beg you. Don't stop fighting for the integrity of our home. I want us to be together forever" said Rama persuaded his increasingly sulking wife.

"Current. My dizziness. It hurts so bad. It's up to Brother. I'm tired. I'm gonna go to bed, Bang. Hye!" tiara immediately turned off the call before Rama gave his consent.

In the distance, Rama ruffled his hair very frustratedly. Just feeling a truce with Tiara, suddenly the war is fluttering again because of her ex-boyfriend. Rama to his own amazement saw his photo with Selvi so perfect editing that it looks so real. During their courtship, even just once did a photo shoot for an ad. The rest, do not capture the moments of their togetherness because Rama prefers their togetherness enjoyed both without having to be published on social media.

In case of this kind of precarious, of course the first to be contacted is Bayu. Personal assistant and everything in Rama's life.

"Hello, Boss. What's the matter with messing up my night?" asked Bayu in a joking tone.

"Great!" rama panicked.

Bayu also gulped bitterly. If this is the case, his new life of rest for a while would have to go back to work without knowing the time.

"Mister Tiara?" terka Bayu immediately concluded.

"Yes. It turns out the war's not over, Bay. Someone called him. I'll send her number and picture to you. Please track where it is located and tomorrow find IT office to research the photos I sent," jawan Rama.

Not long after, a contact number and a photo plastered on Bayu's phone. Bayu was surprised to see the photo of Rama dja Selvi who was so friendly. Bayu was amazed by the photo because their appearance in the photo is really exactly what it is now.

"Bang Rama turned him over?" tanya Bayu hesitated and stammered.

"Crazy. Don't you. Well, this is your extra work. Look for evidence of the falsity of the photo and track down who contacted Tiara" Rama urged.

"Okay, Bang. I am not an expert in researching photos let alone really like not an editan, Bang, Bayu argued.

"Who told you to research the photo. I said call IT in the office to take care of this. Crazy one! Can ration had not been angry just yet," whine Rama suddenly forgot to keep the image.

"okay, Bang. I'll find you tomorrow. Now better Bang Rama rest and calm the mind first. All of this will surely have a solution," said Bayu trying to calm Rama so as not to disturb the night calm him again and forced him to work overtime to take care of his problems.

"Thanks, Bay," said Rama was unaware of Bayu's subtle ouster.

"Eh, Bang. One more thing to ask, Wanda participated in the Tiara Mbak audit, right?" asked Bayu suddenly nyeplos and curious.

"Looks not. They are different divisions if not wrong. Just ask Wanda directly, you have the number. If you like it, be aggressive. Later the hunt is taken, just know the taste," answered Rama advising in fierce fashion.

Bayu until the head bobbles found his boss' voice suddenly changed in a matter of seconds. When discussing Tiara, he is like a cute cat who wants to be pampered. However, when discussing the others immediately moved the growling mode as if to pounce.

"Yes, Bang. Not like, but curious," said Bayu Cengengesan.

"As far as you. Solve my problems first, about you and Wanda we can take care of together. I'm also tired of seeing your face bleak over time in singles" mocked Rama.

"Ready, Bang!" timpal Bayu full of spirit.

After Rama said goodbye and ended their call, Bayu also realized that his attitude had just shown his interest in Wanda. He even wondered to himself why he could ask about Wanda to Rama. Bayu also feels stupid himself. Moreover, he had hoped not to have a partner whose age difference was far but seemed to be eating his own talk.

You're so stupid, Bayu. Why be so honest with Lord Rama. Duuh you are so innocent huh. If the boss knows this, the address of the danger. What should I tell Wanda or little lady? Sayu cursed herself.
