It's been two days since Devan left for London. But the man has not contacted or sent her a message. Vania was upset because since yesterday Devan's mobile phone could not be contacted. Every time she called Ronald to ask her husband, the answer was always the same
"Sir is in a meeting, miss. I'll ask him to call you"
But the fact is that none of Devan's installments reached his phone.
"You haven't slept, honey?" mama Karin asked who saw the lights of the room were still on and the door of her daughter's room was still partially open. She saw her daughter sitting on the bed with her cell phone in her hand.
"Not yet, Ma" said Vania turning her head.
Mama Karina walked in and sat down next to her daughter, "why?".
"Mas Devan can't be reached yet, Ma. I'm afraid that something will happen to her" Vania said anxiously as she looked back at her phone screen.
"Think positive, baby. Maybe he has more work. Pray that everything is okay" Mama said.
Vania nodded her head even though her heart felt heavy.
"Sleep, it's late, maybe Devan's calling you tomorrow morning" Mama Vania said to keep her daughter calm. He came out of his daughter's room leaving a brief kiss on Vania's forehead.

Elsewhere, Devan, who had just finished his meeting with the Royal Company led by Stella, soon came out to meet Ronald, who was handling the papers with Stella's assistant.
"Young master, Miss Vania repeatedly contacted me asking about your situation" Ronald told Devan.
"Damn,, the schedule here is so crowded that I forgot to call her" Devan said anxiously. He glanced at the clock in his hand.the time showed five o'clock in the afternoon London time, that means in Jakarta it is now twelve o'clock at night. He could not contact his wife that late because it would only interfere with his rest. The time difference between Jakarta and London makes communication between them disrupted.
Devan and Ronald are coming back. But his steps stopped as Stella called out to him.
"Excuse me Mr. Devan" call Stella.
"yes" Devan turned his head and waited for Stella to walk towards him.
"Can we go together for a drink?" pinta Stella's.
Yeah, that woman learned some languages these past two years. No wonder if he can speak the language that Devan uses even though it is still a little stiff.
"Thank Mrs. But I was very tired and had to go home to rest. Next time I will try to accept your offer" Devan said kindly.
"Oh.oke.don't worry"
"I'll excuse you Mrs...."
"Okay.be careful"
Devan and Ronald leave the Royal Company to return to the mansion.
Devan settles down on his bed after cleaning himself up. He grabbed his phone which he had not noticed for two days. There were several calls and dozens of whatsapp messages coming in from his wife's number. He quickly opened the message. The last message says "contact me whenever you have time". Devan felt guilty about ignoring his wife. There was sadness and longing to hear his voice. He saw Vania's chat room. The woman was last active fifteen minutes ago. He wanted to contact Vania but was afraid that she would be asleep.
Devan switches to whatsapp Vania story. His wife half an hour ago just uploaded a photo of a minimally illuminated ceiling with a sad emoticon caption.
Devan quickly contacted Vania. It didn't take long for the call to be connected.
"Hallo Assalamualaikum" Vania's hoarse voice was heard across the phone like someone was sobbing.
"Vaalaikumsalam. What's the matter, yang?" Devan worries Vania.
"I'm fine, Mas" Vania lied a little. At this time she was crying because of her longing and worry for her husband.
"No, Mum"
"liks. I video call ya"
"No, mas. This is how it is" rejected Vania for fear of being discovered that she was crying.
"I'm sorry, I didn't call you two days ago. I have to take care of a job here that's so crowded"
"Yes, I understand"
"Why isn't this hour sleeping?"
"I'm not sleepy, Mom"
"For your health, don't let me go home later you're sick"
"Yes, you're going home tomorrow?"
"It looks like it's going backwards, which. Maybe I'll just get to Jakarta on Saturday morning. After that I'll take you to Bandung"
"Alright." replied Vania disappointed.
"Yes sleep, take care of yourself. I love you"
"Yes, Assalamualaikum"
"Girishama".

Alline walked towards the door of Mr. Romi's room after shaking hands. He walked out of the room. In view of the two women who sit at the work table next to the room of Mr. Romi who originally only had one person, now each of them has a resident who is busy staring at his computer screen. He saw a face he hated. Without further ado Alline approaches and bangs on Vania's desk leaving Vania and Maya shocked.
"Alline..what do you mean?" vania said after seeing the culprit was a person she knew.
"Hey lady ja*ang, no need to pretend anymore. So is this your goal to marry your boss? so you can get a high position in this office, huh? I didn't expect you to be so cheap" Alline insulted Vania at will in front of Maya.
Maya who heard her friend insulted became furious. He stood up from his seat. "Miss Alline, please take care of your attitude. It's in our office. You as a guest here"
"It's none of your business... After all, aren't you wrong to defend this cheap woman?" alline held her hands on her stomach.
"Truly you're not polite" Maya grew increasingly emotional because of Alline's remarks.
"What's? What do you want?" Challenge Alline.
"Alline .. enough. Please leave here or I will call the security forces to expel you" Vania said.
"You!!!!" show Alline who then leaned in and pulled Vania's hair strong until the owner grimaced in pain while holding her hair. He wanted to fight but his position still sitting on the seat behind the table made it difficult to move.
"Miss, take your hand off" Maya snapped while helping to remove Alline's hand from Vania's hair.
"What's this?" yelled Mr. Romi who just came out of the room yes because he heard the sound of chaos outside.
