My husband is not the CEO
Sixty Six
"So Rama wants to rape you!" Jane is shocked to hear Caramel's story about the incident yesterday afternoon where Rama entered Caramel's apartment and sexually assaulted her. Jane clenched her hand withholding emotion, if Rama was here she would have stuck her nose to the blood.
During the trip Jane was curious reason Caramel ran away from home and wanted to leave for Bali, apparently not trivial. Fortunately, Jane and Doni have sent their children to their grandmother.
"Slow down dong." Caramel stuffed Jane's mouth with potato chips to stop talking.
They were having breakfast at one of the Blimbingsari airport cafeterias after a 4-hour drive from Soetta airport with an hour-and-a-half transit at Djuanda airport.
Fortunately, the airport was noisy enough that Jane's loud voice did not steal people's attention.
Jane chews the parchment slowly if she does not want to choke. He immediately snatched the water in Doni's hand that had just joined them after buying three bottles of mineral water.
Doni immediately sat down to see Jane and Caramel alternating because they felt they were talking about important things.
"Pa, don't be surprised by Caramel's story." Jane holds Doni's hand, winking at Caramel to continue the story.
"I was wondering when you said we should go to Bali last night." Doni.
"I don't really want this." Caramel shakes her head in light of the incident but she has promised Jane she will tell him everything.
"She doesn't care about you, does she?" Jane's other hand clasped Caramel's hand, not knowing if the problem was this serious until Caramel asked them to leave quickly.
"He kissed my lips." Caramel's gaze lowered, he was disgusted to remember that. His decision to recount this incident while eating seemed wrong, it only made him lose his appetite.
"Well, that's crazy!" Jane was in disbelief, knowing that during Caramel and Rama's courtship they never made it that far. Rama does look like a good man who never messed with Caramel.
"But fortunately Rafka cepet came and beat Rama all out."
"Why are you fighting now?" Ask Jane.
"Rafka accuses me of deliberately bringing Rama in."
"Why didn't you tell Rafka it was wrong?" Doni Timpal.
"Udah." Caramel replied quickly, "but he said it doesn't make sense that Rama knew the password to enter my apartment."
"So you said Rama knew the password to enter the apartment when he helped you bring my stuff right on your birthday that time." Jane looked at Caramel.
Caramel nodded, he already told the origin of why Rama could enter his apartment.
"Why don't you explain the same thing to Rafka?" Doni's turn looked at Caramel.
"Gue it's obvious that I didn't bring Rama in at all but he didn't believe me, Jane tried to put you in my position, you almost raped your own ex-boyfriend and your husband even accused if it was intentional, yes the time I deliberately want to rape Rama, I'm still sane."
Jane nodded in understanding, she rubbed the back of Caramel's hand looking at her best friend holding back a cry. He sat down next to Caramel and hugged her.
"Girls always put their feelings first but with you going gini how can you design your problems?" As a man who had been married for a long time, Doni gave advice to Caramel. She and Jane have been having a lot of domestic problems.
"Gue wants to make Rafka realize that trust in the household is as important as love." Caramel's gaze was nilar, he felt devastated and desperate for this.
"Honesty is also no less important Car, you must realize it." Doni Timpal.
"Just because he's always honest doesn't mean he can't be trusted."
Jane patted the table so her husband would stop giving her advice. Jane knew that Caramel only needed calm and support from those around her.
"You calm down, don't stress too much."
How Caramel is not stressed thinking about all this, he has not solved his problem with Rafka. But for now Caramel wants to go far because sometimes the distance makes a pair of humans aware of each other's feelings of love.
"Let's eat again." Jane pulled out her plate and continued eating.
"Gue to the toilet first." Caramel moved from his seat, he held his pee since on the plane because he was lazy to wake up.
"Do you want antherin?" Jane asked, she was afraid Caramel would do something bad in the toilet. Jane still remembers exactly how Caramel fell when Rama suddenly disappeared before their wedding day. Jane doesn't want Caramel to be traumatized a second time for the same person.
Caramel shook his hand to sign that he did not need company.
Caramel turned her phone back on after it was set to airplane mode during her trip. He sat in a closet to urinate while sending a message to his mother telling him that he had left for Bali with Jane and Doni. There was one message from Rafka and dozens of missed calls. The last call came in at 5am, which was about half an hour ago.
Caramel, please don't even think about taking a boat to get to Bali. I've told you that sea waves are high lately, I forbid you to board any ship for whatever reason.
"He didn't sleep?" Caramel puts the phone in the sink after urinating. He washed his face and combed his messy hair. If not get on a boat do he have to fly to get to Bali. There is no other way, only the ship that can currently take it to Bali.
Caramel stared at the reflection of her face in the mirror, her eyes swollen from crying for too long. Caramel smeared liptint on her pale lips. At least he looks fresher if he wears a little makeup on his face.
"The weather's great." Jane exclaimed as Caramel returned from the toilet, she saw the sun rise quite brightly in the eastern horizon.
"Grab we're almost there, yuk get ready." Doni went first, he had spent a serving of yellow rice as well as Jane.
"I'm not seasick, right?" Jane saw Caramel.
"Have not." Caramel answered, he never knew what it was like to be drunk on travel.
"Thank you guys for me." Caramel sees Jane and Doni alternating.
"Yes, like who you wear thank you all."
They will travel for approximately an hour to the port from the airport. Doni has ordered grab to take them to port.

"Rafka, why did you just get the Caramel on the boat anyway?" Danu threw a glare at the serious Rafka on the computer screen before her. They are working hard to complete the report before the holiday.
"What's wrong?" Rafka sees Danu with a flat face, he has to concentrate on his work even though he is not in good shape. Rafka couldn't sleep last night thinking about Caramel but he has to keep working today. Silence at home will only make him more and more reminded of Caramel.
"Ka, you'll know for yourself the wave is now high, again, you yourself who made the announcement on tv if the end of the year the tide of sea water again high-rise and you instead of barin Caramel get on a boat to Bali, do you not pay for a plane ticket?"
"Where do you know?" Rafka frowned, he himself did not know whether Caramel had arrived in Bali or not. Calling Caramel was useless for Rafka because the woman did not want to answer her phone. "I've forbidden him from boarding the ship."
"You'll see IG story for him."
"Borrow your hp." Rafka grabs Danu's phone to look at Instagram. "How do I see the Caramel story?"
"That's just not knowing you're the primordial human." Danu grabs her phone in Rafka's hand, her thumb moving agile two seconds later she shows a photo of Caramel and Jane on board on her phone screen.
Rafka takes over Danu's phone to see the photo more clearly, appearing Caramel wearing a white shirt with no subordinates. Jemari Rafka touched Caramel's face on the screen, wanting to pull Caramel into his arms for a very long time.
Rafka wonders if Caramel did not read the message he sent last night that he forbade Caramel from boarding the ship.
"How high is the current wave height?" Suddenly Rafka remembered his own words a few weeks ago about high waves, he also remembered they had discussed the matter at a coordination meeting. Most of Indonesia's territorial waters will experience high waves by the end of 2020.
"Mending now you go to the meteorological office to monitor the height of the waves."
Rafka immediately moved out of his study room to the next building to see for himself the height of the waves in the waters of the Bali strait.
"Excuse me." Rafka entered the meteorological room after knocking on the door several times. He rarely goes here because this is not his field.
"Sir Rafka, how can I help you?" One of the officers welcomed Rafka's arrival.
"May I see the wave state in the strait of Bali?" Ask Rafka politely.
"Of course we can, we're monitoring the area." The officer invited Rafka to sit down.
"What is the wave high?" Rafka looked at the computer screen in front of him seriously, he saw a red color around the waters of the Bali strait.
"At first the waves only reached two meters, but strong winds make high wave movements will occur so fast towards the strait of Bali."
"From here?" Rafka pointed to the waters south of Java island.
"True sir."
"How long will the wave take to reach the strait of Bali?"
"About ten minutes, sir."
Rafka nodded in gratitude and resigned from there, he had to contact Caramel immediately. Rafka won't forgive herself until something happens to Caramel. He used to give warnings to the public about extreme weather but to his own wife why he could not do it.
"Hello."
Rafka's chest rippled to hear Caramel's voice for the first time since their violent altercation last night.
"Caramel, I know you're still angry but now please listen to me, you believe me, right?"
"What's wrong?"
"Wear your buoy now, do it slowly don't panic."
"Why don't people use buoys."
"High waves will go to the waters of the Bali strait in less than ten minutes, I hope your ship can withstand the high waves but you still have to use a buoy, he said, please just listen to me this time." Rafka's voice was trembling. It felt like he wanted to fly Caramel out of that ship. "Keep important items in a waterproof place."
"Is this ship going to sink?"
"No Caramel, just in case, I have to make sure you're okay."
"You don't have to worry."
"Most importantly put on the buoy and don't panic, the captain will give directions to passengers if something bad happens to the ship."
"Yes." Yeah."
"I'm gonna hang up, you gotta do everything I said just now." Rafka disconnected after Caramel agreed.
