Liana invites Syahnaz to walk away from the group of men. They went to the booth and picked up the wine glass.
Liana was still watching the woman that Jendra had brought. It seems to be judging from top to bottom.
His serious gaze made Syahnaz a little afraid and hesitant. It was uncomfortable and not comfortable being there.
"How long have you been Jendra's prostitute?" liana asked without hesitation.
His words made Shahnaz feel a little hurt even though it was a reality. "You need three months" he replied.
Liana gave a small laugh in ridicule. He sipped wine in his glass. "It's amazing that there are women who can melt his heart besides Jendra. Are you wearing pellets, stacking, or something?"
Shahnaz realized that cheap women always seem to be looked down upon by others. No matter what the reason for doing so, once he plunged into the abyss of disfigurement, he would forever be labeled as a bad human being. All you have to do is admit it, because there is no justification for your actions.
"I just sold myself, it just so happened that Mas Jendra bought. We both need. I need the money and he needs my body. What do you want me to do?" shahnaz said in a resigned tone.
Liana's eyes were glazed over. He seemed to sigh withstanding his frustration. "I don't think you have any pity as a fellow woman. You were never in Elisha's position."
Liana was always sad whenever she remembered Elisha. Their friendship is so close that they have husbands who are also friends. He did not expect Jendra to dare to wish his best friend who was even in a helpless condition.
"Every day I've apologized to him" Syahnaz said in a sad tone. He lowered his head.
"Without you remind me, I also know that my actions are very bad. But, if Mas Jendra does not take me to his house, he must release Elisha and marry another woman" he continued.
"What?" Liana did not believe what she heard.
Shahnaz raised her head. He looked at the woman in front of him seriously. "The Mas Jendra family needs a successor. They told Mas Jendra to leave Elisha and marry another woman who could bear children. But, Mas Jendra refused because he still loved Elisha very much. She paid me to give birth to her child without leaving Elisha. I just did what Elisha couldn't do, including coming with him to this party."
Liana was stunned listening to the explanation from Shahnaz. "Elisa's my best friend. We've been friends since High School. He is a very kind and gentle person. When he said he wanted to marry Jendra, I was very happy. Moreover, Jendra is my husband's best friend. Unfortunately, he is now in a coma. Even I think it's been a long time we can no longer hold each other's regards."
Liana's eyes seemed to be teary-eyed holding back her cries. Every time I remember Elisha, only sadness is felt.
"If your words are true, leave Jendra after your duty is done. Do not take Jendra from Elisha. Can you do it?" liana asked seriously.
Syahnaz was silent for a moment. "Yes, I'll do it. I will not take Mas Jendra from Elisha" he said.

Jendra and Regi seemed busy talking to the many businessmen they had met. As usual, the discussion when they met did not jauj of business affairs. They are still young compared to other entrepreneurs. Their business is also uphill so quickly that it can offset the senior entrepreneurs who have already plunged into the business world.
When they get a chance to get a little away from the group, they approach the food stand and taste some of the dishes that are already available there.
"Today I feel lucky to have you. At least my friends are not all parents," Regi said while enjoying the sushi he took.
"But, you will always be accompanied by Liana. I don't think it's a problem" Jendra said. He prefers cute little cakes.
"I told you, women will not feel at home for long listening to business discussions like us. Well, unless our partners are both entrepreneurs. Liana also prefers to hang out with her friends."
Regi laughed at Jendra's worries. "My wife is a good person, don't worry" he said.
"Oh, yes. What about your company's new product? Shouldn't this month be? Did you postpone it?" ask Jendra.
Hearing the question, the look on Regi's face turned cheap. "Fuck," he said.
"What?" ask Jendra curiously.
Regi sighed. "My company didn't release that new product, Jendra. There are rival companies that first release similar products that are very similar to the concept of my company," he said in a disappointed tone.
Jendra was surprised by Regi's words. Some time ago, Regi was always eager to tell his company's plans that will launch new products and is expected to provide a breakthrough in the field of technology and household.
Regi's company has long designed robots that can sweep and mop automatically. It took almost two years for Regi to design it with the team. There has been a lot of time, energy, and of course the costs incurred to realize the project.
"Why is it like that?" ask Jendra.
"Okay, I don't know either. It's possible that someone from my company leaked the plan to a rival company. The whole team was disappointed, too" Regi said.
"Do you know who did it?"
Regi shakes.
"Which company makes the product? I don't even know because lately I haven't been following the news very much" Jendra said.
"Your brains are too busy with Shahnaz, Jendra," ledek Regi.
"Ah, shut up!" the upset.
"Haha ... Excuse me. I was so dizzy I was lazy to talk about it. It was a new company, called Sonic Tech. The old subsidiary of the company belongs to Mr. Gumilang," Regi said.
Jendra frowned. "Is the owner Jarwis, Gumilang's son?"
"Kok you know?" Regi was surprised that Jendra also knew.
"That's him right now there" Jendra said, pointing in one direction.
Regi followed Jendra's index. Sure enough, Jarwis was there. Jarwis is the owner of a company that first markets products with a similar concept to his company.
He was even more shocked when he saw Aditya was there as well. His former employees looked relaxed as they approached Jarwis. Both of them are very familiar and know each other well.
"Didn't he have leaked your company's secrets to Jarwis?" guess Jendra.
"I don't believe this ... That's impossible" Regi shook his head.
So far Aditya is one of the exemplary employees in the company. He never made trouble or quarreled with other employees. He strongly believed in his men, one of whom was Aditya.
