Three days have passed, meaning Dennis's departure to Dubai has already passed one day. Her husband's departure yesterday felt so heavy for her, she felt a warm embrace before her husband left was the last hug for her. Either perhaps because of the influence of her pregnancy which made her so very spoiled to her husband. But, since last night his feelings have been uncomfortable.
By noon, Naina felt bad for her throat. Suddenly it crossed his mind chicken geprek sambal rica at the end of the street of his apartment. He used to stop by there with Dennis at his request, a chicken that was so famous just had to be ready to wait in line for a long time if you want to buy it. And unfortunately again because this beefy chicken is not listed on the online food application, so if you want to enjoy it then it must be in place directly to buy it.
He came out of the room looking for his assistants.
"my ... Lilly ...."
One of his assistants ran up to him.
"What's up, young lady?" ask Lilis.
"You're just alone? Where's Mimi?" ask Naina back.
"Didn't the young mistress tell her to shop for kitchen materials."
Naina patted him on the forehead, remembering that she had ordered Mimi to go with the driver to go shopping.
"Oiya, can I ask for help?" Naina spoke like she was not an employer. Lilis chuckled at hearing it.
"Geez, this young lady is so funny. Why ask for help should ask, we work here indeed to be ruled by the young Madam, even the young Madam told us to cross the Indian ocean even we would do it." The assistant who was so very pampering him, it was indeed a mandatory duty from them. Especially now that their young mistress is in a period of cravings.
"I want to eat the chicken that's at the end of the road, Lis," he asked Lilis.
Lilis was a little worried at the request of her young mistress.
"But, young lady. If I go buy it for the young mistress, then who will look after the young mistress here. Let's wait for Mimi to come home, young lady. The young mistress can still hold it back, right?" This assistant is in a dilemma.
Suddenly Naina dropped her body on the sofa in front of the TV, her face was instantly faint, a sad look was already visible from the line of the beautiful face.
"I want to eat that now." His voice whined so pitifully as his hand stroked his stomach.
This really makes Lilis more dilemma.
"Ah, Young mistress ...." Lilis is going to be frustrated. If he left then he made such a fatal mistake for leaving his young mistress alone. However, if it does not go then its young mistress will be tormented for craving the hens, he said, not to mention the baby pingky-pingky that he loved so much was not even born and he did not even know his gender but his life was like he had bet for the baby he nicknamed pingky-pingky.
"All right, young lady. Don't be like this! I'm going to go out and buy him. But, young Madam must promise not to go anywhere!" lilis' message was so heavy-hearted.
Seemed a smile from Naina's lips, she had imagined her hens. Standing up and holding Lilis's hand was so romantic, it seemed that this young mistress really did not make up for her desire to enjoy a sultry chicken.
"Thank you, Lilis, yeah" she said happily.
"Yes, young lady. Don't go overboard like this. All right, I'm out. Remember, young Madam is not going anywhere!" order Lilis again.
"Yes, where do you think I am going" replied Naina, pinching her assistant's cheek.

Lilis is gone. Now Naina lives alone in her luxury apartment. To get rid of boredom, he turned on the TV that was in front of him. From the TV screen, the channel in front of him broadcasts about infotainment. Coincidentally, the top artist Azea Ruanna Atmajaya who was none other than her sister-in-law appeared on the glass screen in front of her. Azea seemed to be avoiding the media that continued to follow him with slurs of questions. Instantly Naina was so shocked after hearing what she witnessed. Not about an Azea, but about Dennis Atmajaya. The young director who is the older brother of the famous artist is being talked about there, a handful of questions are even aimed at Azea. Who does not know this family? A family that is so very harmonious, generous with all the abundant wealth. Not to mention plus Azea who is the most famous public figure.
From the glass screen, Azea was seen entering the car, but still did not speak in the slightest. Naina turned off the TV in front of her, a clear circle immediately soaked her cheek along with her chest that felt so tight. As it turns out, Dennis Atmajaya is currently being discussed everywhere. A few sentences still Naina clearly remembered on TV earlier. Is it true that the handsome director has married in series with a woman from Zone X? even the woman is now pregnant, what is the pregnancy happening out of wedlock? that's what Naina caught from the TV screen earlier, the media continued to find out the truth.
Naina picks up her phone. Open social media and browse on several search pages with the keyword name of her husband. And sure enough, all the online infotainment portals are discussing his sir marriage. Now, the big name Atmajaya is being talked about with this slanted news. If this were true, how could a Dennis Atmajaya marry a woman from such a place? That's the headline of today's infotainment.
Naina's tears were getting unstoppable, she didn't expect it to be like this. It did not cross his mind in the slightest if his marriage would be discussed by this country.
Suddenly the sound of a bell ripped his sorrow. Slowly he stood up and then stepped there. From the direction of the screen, how surprised he was to see who was there. A woman whom he had long awaited his arrival, a woman whom he desperately wanted to hug and indulge in there. Rita, the mother-in-law is outside the door.
Soon Naina wiped away her tears then with a heart so happy to open the door.
"Ma-"
"Mrs ...." He wanted to call my mother, but suddenly he stammered and called back to the woman in front of him with what people had been calling him.
There was not the slightest smile from Rita's face. This veiled woman then stepped in without any welcome by Naina who was still standing nervously there.
"Please come in, Madam." Instantly Naina's heart was racing, the happiness was suddenly gone. I don't know why he was so scared.
"Dennis was really great at taking care of you even the media couldn't get here." That was the first word Rita said. From his tone, it was predictable if his arrival was not okay.
Rita walked over then put her bag on the sofa.
"Are you satisfied with what happened to my family today?" The words that came out of Rita's mouth immediately shattered Naina's hope of warmth from her mother-in-law.
"Look, everybody's talking about my son now, talking about our family." This time Rita's voice was loud, penetrating all the way to Naina's innermost inner being that was like going to tear her apart there.
"You know all that because of who?"
Naina was unable to say anything, the sky would instantly collapse upon her. His mouth was completely stiff for even a single word.
"I came here to ask my son to come back." This time Rita's tone has decreased with her teary eyes.
"Return our family's wholeness, give us back our family's good name." The clear thread was already unbearable from Rita's eyes.
"It's all in your hands." Rita kept talking.
Naina was just speechless, surely a clear feather had also wet her cheek. This time it was like he was being put at an intersection whose choice was so heavy. Not to mention considering all the news infotainment that is being widely spread talk about the Atmajaya family with this sloping news. Naina cursed herself. Well, all this because of her. He caused the destruction of the Atmajaya family to the ears of this country.
Rita suddenly dropped herself to the floor with her knees as a pedestal, like she was going to prostrate at Naina's feet.
"Mrs ...." Naina is shocked to see Rita Atmajaya standing before her.
"I beg you, leave my son! give him back to me, don't separate a child from his mother." Rita's sentence was like bringing lightning to smash Naina, especially her last sentence. Naina's defense instantly collapsed, she only remembered the fetus that was inside her stomach. She loved her baby there so much, what if her baby was separated by her? Is this how her in-laws feel now? Naina felt so very sinful, she never expected that this sickened Rita's heart after being abandoned by her son. Naina has been blinded by the happiness of the love she gets from her husband, and how optimistic she is if one day her mother-in-law will come to bring her blessing. However, all is just wishful thinking. Right now in front of his eyes, this was the fact that existed. A woman who asks her son to come back is none other than her husband, the man she already loves.
Naina's body was like numbness, her defense instantly collapsed, tears were already flowing like creeks.
"I beg you, give me back my son! Restore our family's happiness." Rita continued to rest like a slave in front of her queen.
"Madam, don't be like this." Naina was really powerless to see Rita who was already prostrating at her feet.
At this moment, he suddenly seemed to have been bewitched. Can't think straight anymore. There was no longer a shadow of the man she loved so much, just a fetus inside there that she was palpating from outside her belly. What if he's in Rita's current position? What a feeling of fog is ruling over him now. She seemed to have been aware of her position, she did not deserve to be a queen at the court of Dennis Atmajaya, this country even rejected it with all the sloping news.
"I'm going, Madam. I'll go" she said with a blank look. This girl has completely lost her mind. No longer thinking about all the ideals of life that will continue to be beautiful with her husband, the promise of living while with her husband also perished instantly. Seeing a mother separated by her son because of him made her so very sinful.
While Rita, hearing Naina's words she immediately stood up and without even a word just grabbed her bag. He pulled out a check whose amount was no joke.
"Take this!" Handing the check to the hands of Naina who was still silently sculpting.
"You can use that to move on with your life, go as far as possible before the media finds you." After saying that, Rita then passed. Stepping quickly left Naina inside this apartment.
This poor girl was staring at the check sheet in her hand, her heart was getting sicker, her soul was completely crushed. He was so low in everyone's eyes. He crushes the check in his hand with all his might like the crumbling of his feelings now.
A minute had passed with all his glassy feelings. He began to think what he would do, a very mature decision had already crossed his mind. He took his cell phone and contacted someone.
"Hello, Miss Annisa. Please pick me up at the stop near the apartment."
