Injuries in the Family

Chapter 19

*Flashback Yudha and Marliana*

Marliana was born into a simple family, becoming the third of three children. Her first sister was Risma Eva, her second brother who suffered from Down syndrome named Putra Berkati. 

A difficult life makes Marliana make her independent nature, Marliana is the only hope of her family because only she is able to go to school until college without the help of her parents. Risma chose to marry after graduating high school and was brought by her husband to Kalimantan, while her parents who became public servants have retired with a salary that is not much just enough to eat everyday. 

"Mom, sir." The scream was heard by Marliana's parents who were busy accompanying the Son in the living room.

"What's up, Lin?" ask Joko.

"I'm getting a job at the property company sir." replied Marliana with a happy smile.

Women who just graduated with the best graduates at prestigious Indonesian universities immediately received an interesting job, once the interview went straight in.

"Seriously boy? Thank goodness!" exclamation Yeni.

Marliana looked at the older sister who was 24 years old, they were 3 years adrift. The behavior of the son who was only silent staring blankly in front of the television, Marliana rubbed the cheek of the brother. Risma, as the eldest sister has rarely contacted her parents, giving up the full responsibility that makes Marliana work banging at a young age.

"But ma'am, sir. This job in Jakarta, I can't leave you here." said Mariana.

The veiled woman was very close to her parents, so far Mariana was determined that she would make her parents happy in their old age.

Joko stood up, she pulled Mariana's shoulder to stand up. He gripped his daughter's shoulder, a heavy pikulan that Joko felt when he saw the body of his daughter who was very thin.

"Pursue my son, isn't this your dream? dream of working in a big company to revive our economy?"

Marliana's eyes glazed over, Yeni rubbed the corner of her eyes that were shedding tears.

"Yes, son, go. But do not forget to come here again if you take a vacation or a long holiday like Lebaran ya." said Yeni.

Marliana's lips twitched, she hugged her father's frail body. His age of about 50 years makes it very unbearable to leave them.

After the accident, Marliana was delivered by bus to Jakarta, Marliana's house in Pekalongan which would be until the morning because the trip started from night. Along the way Marliana just shed tears, only this time she was far from family.

The large company that had 25 floors was standing straight in front of him, Marliana was only flabbergasted to see the company that she had just seen now. That day there was only an interview session about salary, and placement of the division and then immediately work.

Marliana hit the 25th floor, in the elevator there was only herself and 2 other employees who turned out to push the 16th floor button. After arriving, Marliana was taken to the HRD room that had been ordered.

"Oh mba Marliana?" greet HRD woman named Rieta.

Marliana nodded, then was welcome to sit down.

"The placement of Mba Marliana to be secretary to Mr. Yudha, the CEO of this company." explained Rieta after reaching the end of our conversation, "You?" the question made sure.

Marliana was inevitably finally accepted, Rieta drove Marliana and met the secretary who turned out to be pregnant.

"Mba Hera, this is a replacement for mba. Her name is Marliana." 

Hera smiled kindly and shook hands with Marlina, "Thank you for Rieta" Hera and Marliana said as Rieta went to her room.

"What is my job then mba?" ask Marliana who approached Hera.

Hera, who was pregnant, directed some of the work that Marliana had to do, after Hera got a replacement secretary and only submitted her resignation in the company acc. 

"Before we get to the real job, I want to know you to Mr. Yudha first yes, Liana" said Hera.

Marliana's face became tense, she remembered the story of her friend who said that the boss was mostly fierce. Hera who read Marliana's panicked look just smiled.

"Let calm Liana, Mr. Yudha is good even though the outside is fierce." whispered Hera.

Marliana simply nodded, and Hera knocked on the large door of the room three times and entered it. The room is very spacious and very very fragrant after entering the sense of smell makes Marliana very fond of the smell.

"Excuse me sir, I'm here to bring a secretary who will replace me here" Hera said.

Yudha turned her stool, and looked at Hera and Marliana. Thin-floated man, a sharp nose that can make anyone will like it even though he is 32 years old. Marliana who was all staring at the man, now became bowed in shame.

"He's an English prodigy?" ask Yudha.

"Better you, Hera." replied Yudha with a small answer. Marliana looked at the man sharply remaining downcast.

After the introduction, Hera taught some things, about taking care of the accommodation, some schedules arranged so as not to clash, he said, and if there is a schedule that Yudha and other companies cancel it as well as other work done by the secretary. 

Marliana worked to the fullest extent at the time, as her goal was indeed to work for her family. His finances became very stable when he worked 1 year, Yudha and Marliana also often out of town and even out of the country together for business. Marliana's thoroughness and tenderness kept Yudha from giving up her eyes on the young woman before her.

Marliana knew very well that her boss already had children and wives, because they both often went to the office just to deliver lunch but very rarely.

Yudha, who saw the marliana cleaning her room, hugged Marliana's body from behind, leaving her shocked.

"Sir." said Marliana who was very uncomfortable.

Yudha was just speechless, she inhaled deeply the scent she so liked on Marliana's shoulder. It was a month ago that Yudha expressed her feelings, but Marliana refused. Marliana had immediately applied for resign, of course Yudha did not give her consent on the grounds of an extended contract.

About the cancellation of the contract for unclear reasons, the applicant must pay the fine of about 5 billion rupiah to the company. Of course, Marliana only resigned because she did not have that much money. The rule was only made by Yudha because he knew what action Marliana would take.

"Sir! Remember your wife and kids... I beg you not to be like this." said Marliana.

Yudha's eyes opened, she let go of his tight embrace and turned Marliana's body to face him. Their eyes clashed.

"You don't love me?" asked Yudha who looked deeply into Marliana's eyes.

"I like Mr. Yudha does not mean to love, but this feeling is very aware that it is wrong sir. Sorry, I beg you to focus more on the family." replied Marliana slowly.

If you think that Marliana seduced Yudha first, it is very wrong. It was Yudha who was already carried away with the nurturing nature of Marliana, because that trait was not brought by Tiara as long as they built the household.

"Let's just go, if we are not fooled I will retreat here." said Yudha.

Marliana swallowed her silva, should it be like this? Connect with someone's husband? Finally Marliana agreed, until their relationship that had stepped on 2 years was hampered by Tiara. 

Yudha brought Tiara into her room, "So you're married to a woman*****this?!" said the fiery Tiara. Marliana simply looked down, she was crying from fear in a very cornered position.

"ANSWER ME! YOU'VE REMARRIED WITHOUT MY CONSENT?!" tiara's roar was now rising, her tears just escaping.

"Yes, I was married to Marliana a year ago." replied Yudha who clasped Marliana's hand firmly, the man standing in front of her young wife's body like a fortress for Marliana.

Tiara held onto her chest, as if she did not believe what her husband said. They had an affair, and hid it so neatly that when Tiara went to Yudha's office, Marliana was like an employee. 

Tiara approached Marliana, slapping her cheek hard after separating her from Yudha. As he was about to claw, Yudha swiftly held Tiara's hand. Yudha knew very well that now Tiara was very disappointed with her actions now.

"I divorce you Pearl bint Rozan, from now on you are not my wife anymore!" yudha said in front of Tiara and Marliana who were very surprised.

"I swear to you and especially to you women*****, so as not to have children until anytime!!!" cursing Tiara with a soft shaking voice and reddened eyes, she did not believe and was disappointed by the action taken by her husband.

*flashback off*

••••

Yudha and Marliana arrive at Soetta airport, Yudha's personal assistant picks them up. Yudha's assistant is also entrusted to take care of the company in Jakarta, if he is not in Jakarta.

"What about Chika?" ask Yudha to Romero.

"It's improved sir, just bruises and his hand is supported by the wound."

Marliana was surprised and Yudha just sighed. Her boyfriend Chika said the accident was because Chika was drunk and she was also guilty of neglecting to monitor her daughter. Her mother went nowhere, neither Yudha nor Chika knew.

After about 45 minutes, the two of them and the assistant walked to Chika's ward. After arriving, Marliana refused to enter because she was still afraid to be denied her presence. Yudha finally persuaded Marliana with the lure of himself first entered, only himself.

*cekl*

The sound of the door knobs makes Iqbal and Chika turn, Chika's smile rises when she sees the father coming but instantly disappears seeing the hijab woman behind him.

"Why did the actor come?!"
