Lara felt confused hearing Rio's words.
"What do you mean Rio?"
"Later you will know too. Come with me, I will show you" Rio said as he stood up.
Lara woke up still with a confused face.
"We went in my car" Rio said and headed to his car garage.
"Okay" Lara replied.
After half an hour of driving on the streets, Rio's car seemed to enter a place that looked like an outdated factory. Rio stopped right in front of the factory building.
"Let's go in" Rio's taking her out of his car.
"OK" Lara answered while coming out without asking anything.
Once inside they were immediately greeted by three thugs-looking men. They stood in front of the door of a closed room.
"Open the door", Rio ordered.
One of them opened the door.
Then Rio went inside the room followed by Lara.
In the room Lara saw a man sitting on a chair with his hands tied back and his head bowed, as if he were sleeping.
"Who is he? Don't tell me.." said Lara with wide eyes.
"Yes, she is her husband Dinda" Rio replied.
Ardi who heard the sound of people talking in front of him opened his eyes, and looked ahead with squinting his eyes.
"His face was handsome despite his appearance being a mess. It's smart to lure Dinda's man" thought Lara while watching Ardi.
"Oh it turned out to be the big boss who came" Ardi said with a cynical smile. Then he looked towards Lara.
"Well, I think the boss came with my wife. It turns out the same other pet woman" he continued with a snort.
Lara looked glared furiously at the words of the man who insulted her.
Rio stepped forward and kicked Ardi's leg.
"Aakhh", he shouted.
"Dragon your mouth if it still wants to live" Rio said angrily.
"I still let you live just because you still have to do something for me" she continued.
Ardi smiled slanted and snorted.
"What should I do for you?" ask Ardi.
"I want you to attend your divorce hearing with Dinda" Rio replied.
Ardi seemed to frown.
"What's? I will not divorce Dinda" Ardi said.
"Ha ha ha... What did you say? Don't want a divorce? Don't you want to marry your cheating rich kid?" rio asked in a mocking tone.
"I do have an affair, but only to take advantage. But I will not let go of a submissive woman like Dinda" replied Ardi.
"Basic rotten man! You want to use it for the rest of your life?" Rio said in a loud voice.
"I just want to live the way I want" replied Ardi.
"Alright, I'm not asking you to divorce her now either. I want you to attend the hearing to maintain your relationship" Rio said.
Ardi seemed confused at Rio's request that he thought he wanted to take Dinda away from her, but instead forbade her from getting a divorce.
"Just for a while, until I'm going to order you a divorce then you can't refuse" Rio continued.
"Then what about my case?" ask Ardi.
"I will give you assurance for your freedom while attending the trial" Rio said.
"No, I want you to release me from the case, and then I'll do your bidding" Ardi said.
Rio smiled sinisterly hearing Ardi's negotiations.
*****
The courtroom felt so uncomfortable to Dinda.
Yanti and Vino who were present there seemed to be encouraging him.
"You don't have to worry Din, your request will definitely be granted, if Ardi is not present because he is at large" Yanti said.
"Hopefully sister" Dinda replied as she tried to smile.
But his smile instantly disappeared the moment he saw Ardi entering the trial room.
Yanti and Vino, too.
"How did he come?" yanti whispered to Dinda.
"I don't know either" replied Dinda.
Vino sees Ardi coming in with a famous lawyer.
"How can a fugitive come here even with a famous lawyer? It seems like something is not right" he thought.
Ardi looked at Dinda and floated his smile.
Dinda who saw Ardi's attitude as if nothing had happened felt her heart so upset.
He even hated seeing the smile of the man who had been using it for six years.
Once the trial began Dinda could only pray to escape Ardi's grip like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
"Hopefully done quickly, anyway mas Ardi also definitely want to divorce with me, all of it will be easy" thought Dinda while encouraging herself.
****
After the trial was over, Dinda looked out of the courtroom with a limp body and was swept away by Yanti.
"It's Din, we will keep trying, after this mediation stage" Yanti said as she stroked her sister's back.
"I really don't think brother, why wouldn't Ardi want a divorce? What she wanted from me" Dinda said frustratedly, she did not expect that Ardi would refuse to divorce.
Vino looked at Dinda sadly as she felt she had failed to help the woman she loved.
Arriving at the parking lot, they cross paths with Ardi and his lawyer. Ardi walked over to Dinda.
He stretched out his hand to hug Dinda.
Dinda reflexes pushing Ardi's body. Vino who was beside Dinda immediately pulled Dinda to the back of her body.
Ardi looked at Vino with a glance.
"Who are you? how dare he touch my wife before my eyes" said Ardi angrily.
"He was still your wife for a while. But it won't be long" replied the cynical Vino.
Ardi frowned for a moment.
Then he laughed in a mocking tone.
"Actually which one is your affair, Dinda? Why do so many men want me to divorce you?" ask her.
"I never cheated. It was you who had betrayed me for so many years" Dinda replied angrily.
"Let's Din, let's go home" Yanti invited while pulling Dinda's hand towards Vino's car.
Once they had gotten into the car, Vino immediately poked the gas leaving the place.
After Dinda left, Ardi stared blankly at his wife's departure.
"The man's car is so fancy, who is he really, do you know him sir?" ask Ardi to his lawyer.
"Yes sir, I know him. He's Mr. Rio's sister, Vino Aditya" his lawyer replied.
Ardi looked surprised to hear it.
"So he's the new CEO of my company? I've never seen her, I don't think I saw her when she was my wife's usurper" she thought.
"Mas Ardi" called out a voice from behind him.
Ardi looked up, and he looked surprised.
