Layla just arrived at the apartment after finishing shopping for kitchens. He carried two large bags from the ground floor of the apartment to the 23rd floor. The girl clicked the password of Dinan's apartment and went inside in a calmer state. Moreover, he had met Bayu, all his problems seemed to disappear because they had improved. Now Layla must keep Bayu's secret from Dinan and Dinan from Bayu. At least until he managed to escape from Dinan's life.
As Layla walked towards the kitchen to arrange her groceries, she saw Dinan sitting at the dining table with a glass of water in front of her. Dinan's appearance was very tangled, his hair was messy and his clothes were also irregular. Layla's eyes were round, she put her groceries in the living room and ran up to Dinan at the dining table. Lekas Layla picked up Dinan's glass, and the man reflexively held her back. The glass fell and broke on the floor. Layla's eyes probed into the table and made sure there was no booze.
“What's my fault with you?” dinan asked with a hunting breath, both hands holding Layla's arms.
Layla turned her head, she was immediately nervous to see the glare of Dinan's very sharp eyes.
“Mean, Father what?” layla asked with a voice almost gone.
“You started this problem, and until this second you keep adding problems to my life.”
“I didn't do anything, Sir.”
“What are you doing kneeling in front of my father? ha?” snarled Dinan who was no longer able to withstand his disappointment. Layla could only shake weakly.
“You want to show me in front of Dad that I can't do anything? until you have to kneel before him for me?”
“Sa-I didn't mean it that way, sir.” Layla defends herself.
“From the beginning I never showed my weakness in front of Dad, but what are you doing? You trample on my pride, Layla!”
“Ma-sorry, Sir.”
“Sorry again, sorry again. Sorry it's useless! Can't you do the right thing once? At least thank you for still working in the office.”
“I just want to take that document from Mr. Marc, Sir. Just that, I just want to help you from this difficult position,” I Layla with tears in her eyes, really she did not expect Dinan would be angry with him for the incident at Mr. Marc's house.
“Sial! Basic useless!” bentak Dinan's. He pushed Layla's body until the girl sat in her chair. The man then left the apartment. Leaving Layla who kept crying. He sobbed, tears kept flowing, his chest was completely claustrophobic and his mind was completely stifled.
I don't know why everything he does always makes Dinan in a difficult position. He just wants to fix all his mistakes. But now he dropped Dinan's pride in front of Mr. Marc. Layla's glued there. Sitting crying over everything.

Time passed, Layla had already cleaned the apartment and prepared dinner. During this time, the girl daydreams more often. Every now and then he looked at the front door, hoping that Dinan would return soon. I don't know what's going to happen, Layla can't really imagine it.
Even as he sat daydreaming at the dinner table, watching his cold cooking, Dinan never came. As the clock continues to turn, it passes by eight o'clock. The man has not yet returned home. Layla is restless, not knowing where to find Dinan. Waiting there frustrated him. Many times the girl screamed small, unclogging at her chest.
Sometimes he also mumbled. “I intend well, and the end result will definitely be good.” Layla continues to strengthen herself so as not to continue feeling guilty. From the beginning he only wanted to save his brothers who were threatened with life into homelessness. In fact, he was willing to sacrifice himself to marry Dinan which is considered by many cruel men.
Time passed again, the awaited never arrived. At last, the bell sounded in front. A startled Layla immediately got up from her chair. Run ahead to open the door. Did Dinan go home?
When the girl opened the door, it wasn't Dinan she found there. But it was Bu Eva who brought Risa by his side. Layla immediately rubbed her eyes, making sure that there were no tears there. Then try smiling to welcome her in-laws.
Ms. Eva slowly looked at Layla's situation. “You fucked up, La.”
***
Risa is busy playing in the middle room, there are many miniature decoration of the building that became a display in the apartment, the miniature is what became Risa's toy. Sometimes he is also busy watching the TV there, displaying his favorite cartoon film. Though he was eager to meet his brother, but what was sought was not there, making the sweet little girl a little disappointed.
Ms. Eva saw her daughter from the dining table. His eyes seemed concerned about Layla's situation.
“I know your position is difficult, La. It is not easy to be between a father and son in dispute. No one will give up between them. I've felt it for a long time.”
Layla takzim listen.
“Tadi Dinan told his father to go home. His father was very angry, even he doused Dinan with the drinking water I brought for him. Dinan must have been very heartbroken because of that, so he is not here now.”
Layla gulps, “What is it because of me, Bun?”
“Did Dinan treat you no good during these three days of your wedding, La?” ask Ms. Eva to investigate.
Layla shook her head, Dinan had never been angry with her as a wife. The man was only angry because of his mistake as an employee, except for one thing, he knelt in front of Mr. Marc and dropped his pride.
“He thought Dinan treated you badly. Until you kneel down and plead in front of him for not being able to stand the attitude of Dinan.”
“That's not true, Bun. Even every mistake I make, Mr. Dinan is never angry at all.”
Miss Eva smiled faintly. “His father Dinan had thought that, La, from the beginning he was very sure Dinan would not be rude to you. But if you really begged to your knees for Dinan, he might suspect the opposite.”
Layla rubbed her face rough.
“La, try to improve his mood. I realized it wasn't easy to get into Dinan's heart. He suffered a lot from women. But I'm sure you can, La.”
Eva turned her head, she looked at Layla expectantly.
“Suffering by women, Bun?” ask Layla to be astonished.
“His biological mother used to hit him in the stomach, he was caught by Dinan bringing another man into his room. Dinan ran for fear of being scolded, his mother and the man chased after him, and he was hit and now the punch is still imprinted on his stomach as you can see. Also if you notice Dinan's hair is a little long, it is intentional to hide the scar on his back head. That was the mother's abomination the first time. As well as her second mother never locked her three days without being allowed out of the room.”
“He really hates those women, La. His father used to match him to a woman with lucrative business profits. Unfortunately, she is not a good woman either. The woman insulted Dinan in public and left with another man. That's why Dinan went to America. He really brought a lot of pain, sadness, shame until he lived in America for many years even though his lecture was finished.”
“La, we need you to be able to make Dinan open a new page that is better than his past that was destroyed. Don't hurt him anymore, La. Help us to provide a better life for our child.”
Layla gulps. His heart trembled, he felt as despicable as he was. Remembering this afternoon he had turned back to Bayu. Has he cheated on Dinan? Ah, even she paid Bayu for the money given by her husband. Layla can't even remember any of that. What a shame he had for himself, how could he have done such a bad thing? walk with the other man behind her husband and pay for the man's meal with her husband's money as well.
