GROANS OF DESTINY

THE S2 - CHAPTER 48

"Mas..I left first yes" said Riani while greeting Albern's hand.

Albern kissed softly on Riani's head "lately you've always had no time alone with me, don't you know I'm jealous of your work? can you just take some time for me tonight?" ask Albern.

Riani fell silent and stopped her footsteps when she heard her husband's words, Riani realized that she had been negligent of her duties as a wife, lately Riani was preoccupied with many tasks that made her not even have time to continue in the apartment.

"I'm sorry, I still have a few more small jobs tonight, sorry..." riani said softly while hugging her husband tightly.

Seemed a disappointed expression from Albern's face, however Albern was disappointed in Riani, but Albern also did not want to be selfish on his wife. "Other times when there is free time don't forget to call me" Albern said.

Riani looked at Albern's face for a long time, she was lucky to have an understanding husband like Albern, who knew of his self-interest.

Riani took her HP and switched briefly to leave Albern, a few minutes later Riani returned to the face of Albern while sharing her thin smile "Mas... tonight there is time with me? I want to spend time alone with you, but for tomorrow maybe I won't go back home" explained Riani as she looked away.

"So you have to sacrifice your tomorrow just for tonight with me? do you really not mind?" tanya Albern made sure.

Riani shook her head "I wouldn't mind it, only if it was hard to allow me to work, then I would consider it" Riani said.

Albern gently stroked Riani's head "don't... Your husband knows very well that you like your job very much right? moreover, you work in a very good and supple environment, is not it your dream to become a lawyer from a small age? so I wouldn't be so selfish with my wife" Albern said, hugging Riani.

"Mas.." murmured Riani softly.

"Owh yeah, I don't think there's time for tonight, you can continue your work, and tomorrow you have to sleep here" Albern said.

Riani was stunned by Albern's words, then Riani smiled and nodded her head "alright"

Riani returns to say goodbye and steps out of the apartment, meeting Monsieur Domson who has picked her up.

Albern let out a long sigh while hitting the wall of the apartment "shit! again my time with my wife was taken back to work again!" upset Albern.

Albern moved out of the room and back to his room, Albern settling the old cell phone that was in front of him now "huh... how could I possibly ask Pamela to find a replacement for Riani to be the chairman, I recently why the hell be such a possessive person!?" upset Albern to himself while patting his forehead.

Albern was startled by his daydream after hearing a ring from his phone, where it was written Carlson Darius' name.

"Just thinking about her, uh her husband even nelfon" Albern murmured as he pressed the green button on her HP.

"Hello" Albern said behind the phone.

"Albern, you're assigned from campus for a review of Taiwanese student exchanges for tomorrow, can you?" ask Carlson behind the phone.

"Well, you don't have to ask whether or not Sir, if I answer no doubt tomorrow I will still be in Taiwan, right?" ask Albern.

Carlson's laughter behind the phone sign that Albern was right.

Albern hung up the phone and again sighed "so tomorrow I can't" murmured Albern as he took his suit and got out of the apartment.

***

Blocked by the wind that flew by the dry leaves passing through Alisya and Coty, today is the schedule of their trial which should be between Coty and Violette instead become Coty and Alisya.

"Do you understand the details of our hearing today?" coty asked Alisya before entering the courtroom.

Alisya nodded confidently.

The trial journey happened quite smoothly, although there were no witnesses but evidence was found, because however something specific remains evidence than a witness.

30 Minutes in the courtroom just like that, Coty sighed at length "hah.. I did not expect this watermelon, although everything still goes well" complained Coty while patting Alisya on the shoulder "good work"

Alisya smiled thinly praised by her senior, in contrast to Violette who could only corner and trouble him.

"You wanna eat out first?" ask Coty.

"Eh... Is this not lunch hour yet?" wonder Alisya.

Coty smiled faintly hearing Alisya's words "draining the brain will drain our stomach contents as well, mengedan we fill first yuk!" take Coty while holding Alisya's hand to his white car.

All the members of the firm turned out to have a limited edition car huh? will I have it too? at least a Porsche? Thought Alisya while following Coty into the car.

Coty's car drove quickly to a mini restaurant with a makeshift menu, while tasting the food that had been presented in front of them Alisya seemed to be surprised.

Coty smiled faintly seeing Alisya's reaction "hahaha delicious isn't it? although it looks simple it feels very uploading tastes, right?" ask Coty.

Alisya nodded "i didn't expect the taste to be this good" Alisya replied as she continued to bribe her food.

"At least before returning to Indonesia you have to eat food here first, so that when in Indonesia you want to come here again hahaha" Coty joked.

After eating out their food, Alisya and Coty returned to the Firm.

On the way back to the Firm Coty reopened the conversation with Alisya who had been silent since.

"I heard you were the son of a governor? coty asked, making Alisya look at him.

Alisya was used to being asked this, so she would not be surprised when suddenly there were people who asked this directly to her, because after all Alisya was immune to something like this.

"Yes, brother, why?" ask Alisya.

Coty was a little surprised to see Alisya's seemingly ordinary reaction "i was just curious, so what about your mother's current state?" coty asked, switching the conversation.

"I don't talk to mama uh I mean with Mak after arriving in France, so how Mak I don't know" replied Alisya cuek.

"Aren't you curious about your mother's condition?" coty asked while staying focused on driving.

"Not in the least, because I believe Mak is a strong and strong woman, and again without Mak maybe I will not be here and talk to big brother hahaha" Alisya laughed.

"You are really a cute child yes, at least everyone must have his weak side Alisya, it could have been your Mak was too tired to survive until now, until now, plus you haven't contacted her lately, Alisya. Any parent will never show that she's tired of her kids, so after you come home later don't forget you call your mom, before one day you regret it, and I'm sorry if my words were a little harsh before for the 2nd time you lost your parents" Coty continued.

Alisya was aghast from her seat, she really did not expect to hear such words from a person she had only known last night. Alisya was aware of her Mak's condition lately that looked bad, Alisya turned her face away from Coty and continued to stare at the view from behind the window glass.

The car was parked neatly in the confiance firm's parking lot, Coty and Alisya got down together from the car while stepping into the firm room.

Coty thrust a mobile phone on Alisya "this number I can call any international number, you can wear it first, as long as you do not forget to return it" Coty said with a small laugh.

Alisya got up from the chair she was sitting on while stepping out of the Firm room.

Alisya pressed one by one number on the HP screen which has now been arranged into a number.

"Hello the parlour-"

"Can I speak to Ibuk Nadia? it's Alisya" said Alisya cut off the talk from the voice of the woman who seemed to be the nurse at the nursing home.

"Owh well" replied the nurse.

"Wait brother! before that what has been a suspicious person lately coming to the parlor?" ask Alisa to the nurse.

"Hmm... It doesn't seem to be, why is Alisya?" ask the nurse back.

"Hahaha why-why sister, can give this phone to Nadia's mother?" ask Alisha back.

"Well, wait a minute" said the nurse.

Not enough one minute waiting for the voice of a woman is now back heard behind the phone, but this voice is not the voice of the nurse earlier, the voice was louder and seemed friendly, he said, which must have been familiar to Alisya's ears.

"Hello Assalamualaikum Yes..."

"Waalaikumsalam Ma..ak, how are you?" ask Alisya.

"Alhamdulillah Mak lately has been better, it seems like you are still not quite used to calling Mak huh?" ask Mak Alisya.

"Hahaha it's Mak" replied Alisya.

"If indeed you are more comfortable with the call mama can kok sya, anyways it is long gone" explained Mak Alisya.

"No need Mak, Alisya is more comfortable calling Mak, it's just about habituation again" replied Alisya.

"Don't avoid the fact, for how long you've been with me for 20 years, you know very well that you have a grudge against your father, by the way it's been a long time yes we don't talk like this" mak Alisya.

Alisya scrunched her forehead, Alisya very understand if there is something different from her current Mak "Mak, because until anytime Alisya will not be willing to say the call to bajing*n lakn*t it!" pissed Alisya.

"Yes-"

"It was Mak! Assalamualaikum!" annoyed Alisya while turning off the phone.

Alisya let out a long sigh and went back into the room, Alisya thrust Coty's HP back at the owner "thank you"

Coty smiled faintly as he took back the HP in the hands of Alisya "sama-sama, like her you are being unkind? any problems?" ask Coty.

"I am indeed like this continue, there is no need to worry" Alisya replied as she stepped into Riani's room.
