Erik put his clothes back on after a great romance with Mauren. Meanwhile, Mauren himself seemed lazy to get out of bed and just continued to lie down while covering his body with a thick blanket.
"You still angry?" asked Erik who was sitting on the edge of the bed. The man was re-buttoning the shirt he was wearing.
"Am I that low in your eyes, Mom? The pebble stone you said?" asked Mauren who was still upset at Erik's remarks this afternoon.
Erik laughing. He lay back on the bed and hugged the woman as she kissed the naked shoulder of Mauren.
"You also know that I'm just kidding, right? That time' you took heart too?" said Erik.
"But, still. Your words still hurt me, Mas!" mauren.
"Sorry, Honey!"
"So, when did you divorce that woman?" mauren asked as she turned to look at Erik in the face.
"Soon," the man replied briefly.
Mauren clucking. I don't know how many times he heard that word. However, until now the thing he wanted never happened.
"Your answer is always the same. But, actually?"
Erik took a breath. Not that he was procrastinating on releasing Varissa. However, without having anything from his marriage and Varissa, Erik would also not be willing to leave the woman. His wife's company and wealth assets are too dear to pass up.
"I'll try to speed things up. You take it easy" said Erik.
Mauren grinned happily at Erik's promise. He could not wait to enjoy the full wealth of Varissa's property.
"Just wait! Soon, after everything you have turns into mine, you will cry blood and will not be haughty anymore." murmured Mauren grudgingly. He was still very hurt at the treatment of Varissa who blatantly humiliated him earlier this afternoon.

"Where's Erik?" tanya Dikta started the conversation.
"Most in her place of infidelity" replied Varissa.
The woman leaned limp on the sickly bed. His physique had recovered by a hundred percent yet his heart was shapelessly broken. Despite trying to stay strong, there are times when he again feels weak and desperate. The love that he is angry will give him happiness even incised the most profound wounds. If at that time he heard the father's words not to accept Erik's proposal, maybe the story will be different.
Yes, they were married without the blessing of Varissa's father. Long ago, Varissa's father wanted his daughter to marry another man instead of Erik. The man who said it was impossible to hurt Varissa and would always look after Varissa at any time. The same man who was currently sitting on a chair beside Varissa's gurney while peeling an apple for the woman.
"Why?" tanya Dikta flat. He still focused on peeling the apples in his hand calmly.
"Huh?" Varissa's brain is slow to respond.
"Why see me like that?" tanya Dikta while looking at Varissa.
The one who was looked at suddenly misbehaved. So, this guy realized that Varissa was staring at him? But, has not Dikta focused on the apples he was peeling? How did he know that Varissa was watching him?
"It's okay" replied Varissa.
"Eat!" dikta orders while thrusting a piece of apple into the front of Varissa's mouth.
The woman opened her mouth hesitantly and let the man's hand before her bribe her. Varissa is very healthy. However, for some reason he just resigned and let Dikta continue to bribe him like this.
Dictates. The man, though cold and closed, was always warm. He treated Varissa very sweetly.
"If I had obeyed Papa to marry you, would I have been happy, Dikta?"
"This fast?" ask Varissa who seems unwilling to part with the man.
"Maybe, your husband will be here any minute. Not good, if he finds out I'm here. Later, he suspects."
Varissa nodded. That is what Dikta said. All this time, Erik had never known the figure of the man. Because, during dating until marriage, Varissa never discussed anything about Dikta. At that time, Varissa had forgotten that there had been Dikta in her life. Maybe because he never liked Dikta plus because Dikta settled abroad after graduating high school. Slowly but surely, Dikta is forgotten from Varissa's memory and returns again after the fateful accident that befell her. Now, Varissa is conscious. The distant and the very he hates actually pay attention to him, while the close and he loves instead ignore and betray him. How ironic.
"Dikta," call Varissa down.
The man who had just returned after washing his hands in the bathroom, turned his head. "What's wrong? Need anything?"
Varissa. "I'm sorry, because I used to hate you so much."
Dikta smiled thinly. The first smile Varissa had seen since she met him again. But, although barely visible, Dikta's smile was actually able to make Varissa stunned. The smile effect is amazing. Makes Dikta more and more handsome.
"Things that have long passed do not need to be revealed anymore" replied Dikta.
"But I still have to apologize. At least, the weight in my heart can be lifted a little."
"What's with me accepting your apology, your heart will be a little relieved?"
Varissa nodded.
"All right! I'm sorry!" dikta Anguk. "Then I go home! Take good care of myself as long as I'm not around. If anything, don't hesitate to call me."
Varissa still wants to talk a lot with the guy actually. However, Dikta had already waltzed away. Leaving a million feelings hanging from the ceiling of Varissa's heart.
Dikta stepped quickly down the hospital hallway. Some of the female nurses who passed by him deliberately stopped for a moment to appreciate the man's good looks. Bonded long hair, a tattoo on the right arm that looks because of his shirt rolled up to the elbow makes his appearance look so charming with his neat dress. Yeah, physicals can be like thugs. However, his handsome face and appearance are super fashionable but neat into points that increasingly make himself very perfect to be the ideal type of woman crazy bad boy.
"Sorry!" erik said when he accidentally hit Dikta's shoulder when they passed in front of the reception desk.
Dikta just nodded. Meanwhile, Erik hurriedly ran a little towards Varissa's outpatient room. Erik had absolutely no idea that the man he had hit just now was a figure that would destroy him in the future.
"Be prepared! You and everyone who hurt Varissa will get a much more painful reply." Dikta grinned. His eyes filled with anger. No one can hurt the family of a person who has contributed to his life. Even if it was Erik, the daughter-in-law of a very Dikta agungkan in his life.

"Darling!" greet Erik as soon as he reaches Varissa's room.
"Where, Mas?" ask Varissa. She received the husband's embrace while clucking in her heart. She knew that her husband had just finished his animal desire with her. Evident from the reddish marks left on the husband's neck and the smell of soap that burst from the man's body. Erik must have taken a bath before he met her to cover up the stinking trail of his mistress.
"I was late, baby!" erik replied lying.
"Why is your neck? How can red gini?" Varissa purposely holding Erik's neck in contact made the man retreat and covered the reddish marks with her palms.
"Most bitten by insects" said Erik nervously. He is completely unaware that Mauren deliberately left a trail in order to make Varissa jealous. "What the fuck are you, Mauren?"
"Insects? It does. Your affair and you are indeed insects, Mas!"
Varissa nodded. Pretending to swallow Erik's lies like he used to.
"Later to buy medicine at the pharmacy. Her insect bite scars are pretty bad, Mas!"
"Yes, Honey!" erik nodded. He was relieved that Varissa had always been a fool. Fortunately, his wife always believed in his words.
