Ninth Month

The Scattered Photo

🌺🌺🌺

The first morning for Rayan in Indonesia is very effective, it is greeted by refreshing cold morning weather. The sky looks bright orange with a positive aura for Rayan who deliberately woke up early. Of course, waking up early is the habit of Rayan. How not, he must prepare the needs of the twins which is certainly diverse and very complex. And for the first time since the birth of the twins, he can wake up early without worrying about things about the twins because he currently has Intan who will help him to take care of them. But her beautiful morning was suddenly startled by bad news. Johan came early in the morning with bad news about Intan.

Rayan is helping Intan prepare breakfast for the twins when Johan arrives. He deliberately made a special because the twins were not used to eating rice as their breakfast. Johan immediately invited Rayan to speak elsewhere so as not to be heard by Intan. Rayan who has not had time to finish his cooking just follow Johan's will because it seems that what will be told to him is an urgent problem.

“Have you guys turned on the television?” ask Johan.

Rayan shook her head, “ada what?” asked Rayan worried.

“There is bad news about Ny. Intans. Today it is better to mr. Rayan immediately disconnected the television. Don't let the kids see it, don't let her. Intan saw it.” Seeing that Rayan did not understand, Johan immediately showed his phone, after first entering the search word, Intan.

“Finally revealed Intan's forbidden relationship that made him divorced”

“Esteemed family princess with a passion: the spread of photos of the martyrs proof of the affair Intan, the youngest daughter of the family Wibowo”

“It turns out the youngest daughter of the Wibowo family is not as innocent as we thought”

“WOW! Family hot scandal Wibowo.” With a photo of Intan kissing a man.

“Intan, the daughter of the Wibowo family teases Anton Daisuke for the smooth running of his company”

“See here, a photo of the daughter of the Wibowo family making out”

“Challenging at all costs, proof of wealth can not change someone's nature: Intan Dwi Wibowo involved romance scandal”

“Wild behavior of the Wibowo family's daughter as the reason for her phenomenal one-day wedding”

And many more, Rayan can no longer read it. They even associate the photo with his story first, his inner wrath. This problem made him regret his actions had once left a bad image on Intan.

“You can ease this news?” rayan asked Johan. They've moved into Rayan's study. He did not want his mother and Madam Sri who came home from shopping to catch their conversation.

“I might be able to do it, but bad comments keep appearing on social media,” replied Johan, “they can't be stopped unless we make a police report,”.

“We can not do it or the image of Intan will get worse.”

“Lantas what should we do?” ask Johan.

“I was thinking about it,” said Rayan. “Oh, I forgot to turn off the television connection. I also have to confiscate Intan's phone for a while. You wait here,” his orders to Johan.

When Rayan went out of the room, she found Eka was already at her house searching for television and telephone connections in her house. While Intan was beside Eka trying to prevent what Eka did.

“Look at what Mas Eka did, he refused to talk to me about what happened instead of doing something unclear like that,” reported Intan when Rayan arrived.

“Ah, you're coming,” welcome Rayan. This problem must have had a very big impact until Eka had to intervene alone.

When hearing Rayan's words, Intan finally realized that Rayan must have known something. “You know it too, don't you! Tell me what's the problem?” he pressed on Rayan. But Rayan certainly does not want to say things that will make Intan worried, he will solve this problem first before telling Intan this problem.

“There was Johan in my study," said Rayan as she pointed to the room beside the living room, "you can wait for me there, while I talk to Intan."

After Eka passed, Rayan immediately took Intan towards the pool, a little further from the middle room door to anticipate anyone who suddenly came and accidentally heard their conversation.

“Actually the reason for my existence here is to solve this problem.”

“What problems? Come on, Rayan, if the matter concerns me please be honest with me, you can't save me by making me know nothing. Ignorance will harm me, you should know it.”

Rayan immediately hugged Intan and calmed her down, “please trust me just this once, if I have found the solution I will tell you. Now don't look at anything on your social media or internet search, neither do the twins, don't let them see television.”

Intan looked at Rayan with an unacceptable look. But either way he has to obey, hoping it's for the best.

“What kids are up?”

“Ya,” replied Intan, “they played in Rudy's room. Rudy said he would take apart the toys I had placed in his room, so he asked Ruby to accompany him. Back when decorating the twins' rooms I bought some new toys for them.”

“Have they had breakfast?” tanya Rayan .

“Not yet, we are waiting for Mom to come home from the market, maybe in a moment.”

“I think Mom will be home for a long time, you take the kids to breakfast first. I'll meet Mas Eka and Johan.”

“Alright,” says Intan finally, “Rayan can you tell me what problem it is?” intan asked, he tried once again his luck.

Rayan sees Intan pity, he questions his motives in the heart, will not tell Intan is the best or even the best is to tell it. Because he saw Intan who looked at him with a clear gaze, he was unable to tell the problems they faced even though they were not as detailed as possible.

“Someone blackmailed your Papa using your photo, it's not worth looking at. Your father had trouble solving this problem himself so he asked me. Now the photo has been widely circulated in cyberspace so until I finish this please believe me,” said Rayan.

Intan took a deep breath. “Alright,” replied Intan. “I can take time off work and spend time with the kids. Remember I am counting on you,” said Intan.

“Of course you can count on me,” said Rayan while kissing the friendly Intan. After seeing Intan pass to the children's room he immediately returned to the workspace because he had been waiting for Eka and Johan.

“How?” rayan asked the two as he walked into the room.

“I've tried to block the media as much as I can,” replied Eka.

“Ya, me too,” said Johan, “will but... “ Johan did not continue his words instead looked at Eka. Eka who understood the meaning of Johan immediately continued Johan's words.

“Saham PT Wibo has freefall,” replied Eka continued his remarks Johan, “of course also Ruby's Diamond, because Intan the owner, then it is certain he has gone bankrupt. Fortunately, the value of jewelry never decreases so he did not really fall but of course Intan suffered a lot of losses. Seeing Anton's company getting stronger seems like this is indeed the case.”

Rayan saw Eka who was still wearing sports clothes, she guessed that Eka had come at that time when she heard this news, how lucky Intan had a brother who was caring for Eka. It's a pity why Mr. Wibowo didn't tell Eka about the matter. He guessed that the reason Johan threw the question at Eka was so that he would explain to Eka about the matter because judging from the words Eka had asked, it was clear that Eka did not know the details of the problem.

“Definitely this photo edit,” Said Eka, “we just need to tell the truth through the press conference.

“What! when did Intan have a kidnapping?” ask Eka not understand. He was shocked and could not believe what he was hearing. Intan just got to know Anton, what might this incident happen recently, his mind guessing.

“Not so long ago, Jhon even had to have surgery because of a broken bone,” replied Johan.

“Jhon?” eka asked while remembering, like she had heard that name, but finally she remembered it too,” Oh, Jonathan. I wonder why he didn't show up when I told him to drop off Intan. Did it happen that night?” ask Eka curiously.

“Ya” replied Johan short.

“How do you know Jonathan?” search Eka. Jonathan was his upbringing, how this man knew him.

“She's my sister,” replied Johan.

“Oh!” johan's answer explains everything. Could Rayan have sucked Jonathan into her? Eka's not sure. “Then what steps should we do about this issue?” to be honest, it all felt very sudden to Eka. He could not think of it clearly.

“Should we sue Anton now? We already have enough proof,” Johan said.

“Do not do that!” sergeant Eka.

“Yes, don't do it,” said Rayan while shaking her head rejecting Johan's proposal.

“Why?” johan asked not to understand.

“If we open the case now then the image of Intan will get worse,” replied Rayan.

“Yes, don't make my sister's image worse. There must be another way. I don't care about falling stocks or being broke, but please choose a good solution for him. My brother has suffered enough with the growing rumors plus the politicizing Anton, rumors will surely be crazy that we deliberately make Anton politicized to cover this scandal. Can't we hold a press conference to clarify that?” ask Eka.

“We might embarrass ourselves because the photo is authentic without engineering,” Rayan replied. “But I seem to be able to clarify my marriage with Intan. At least I have to create a good romance narrative for Intan.”

Eka looked at Rayan with a strange look, to be honest she still could not accept all of Rayan's treatment of her sister. Moreover, he knows all the problems that occur in Intan starting from Rayan. But to be honest, this problem started from his Papa, but of course the essence suffered the most. If indeed the Papa has been destroyed and allowed Rayan to take responsibility then his duty as Big Brother is to trust and control this man so as not to make the same mistake a second time.

“Hu.... Papa... huhu..” suddenly their serious atmosphere was startled by Ruby's cry that sounded loud from the dining room. Rayan immediately ran out followed by Eka and Johan.

“What's up? What happened?” ask when you get there. He sees Ruby sitting at the dining table crying while Rudy just keeps his spoon. While Intan sat beside Ruby trying to calm down.

“Ruby wants a cow's eye egg like mine, but Mama always makes it wrong,” Rudy replied. There are many dishes with beef egg dishes.

Intan looked at Rayan with a helpless look as Ruby ran towards Rayan trying to complain about Intan. “I told you I wanted a half-cooked egg, but Mama kept making me a mature egg. I also don't want any green-green,” Ruby said as she pointed at the scallions scattered on her eggs.

“Kan Ruby just say the same Mama want what, later made,” said Rayan while carrying Ruby.

“I've said it, really!”

“A half-baked eggs are not good for children, many bacteria that have not died can make it sick,” explained Intan gave an explanation.

Ruby throttled, “I also do not want green-green,” he continued. “Just Ruby wants Papa to make it.

“Ih, Ruby can't, Ruby has to hear what Mama said. If not, yes should be shunned, it is for the good of Ruby as well.”

“Ruby does not want to eat,” said Ruby Sabil slumped from her Papa sling.

“Ok, well Mr. Princess, Papa will be a chef,” said Rayan finally while staring at Intan with an apology.

“Papa, why don't we just go home, Ruby wants to be with Papa, sister and grandmother,” Ruby sulks.

“Hush, Ruby can't talk like that,” says Rayan fast.

“Hiks, Papa is not dear to Ruby,” Ruby said as she ran to her room. Rayan could not catch up to Ruby when she saw Intan's disappointed face.

Intan immediately turned her face the other way when she heard Ruby's statement, her heart ached. It turns out that it is not that easy to take the heart of children, biologically he is his mother, but in reality he never played the role of Mother for the twins. So naturally there was rejection when he entered into their small family circle because at this time it could be said he was an outsider who had just met his children. It may take time for children to accept it, especially Ruby.

“Rudy, bring your sister here. Papa who will make breakfast,” orders Rayan on Rudy, Rudy who is basically obedient immediately carry out Rayan's orders. Rayan is grateful for Rudy, otherwise because Rudy's understanding will be very difficult for him to understand the willingness of Ruby who is choosy. Maybe it's wrong to be too obedient to Ruby, but what you want to say as a single parent is the most important is that the children are happy, no matter what it will do.

“Do not be too taken heart,” said Eka comforting his sister, “daughters are a little different, Vienna is also like that!”

“Yes, don't mind his words, Ruby is indeed a little sensitive, maybe because she is not used to it, sooner or later she will understand and accept, you are patient, yes. My fault is also too pamper him,” replied Rayan.

Intan shook her head, “I'm not used to children yet, even though I'm her mother I haven't really done what a mother should. When I heard that I didn't want me I felt sad,” replied Intan slowly.

Rayan immediately approached Intan and hugged her, “don't ever say that, you will soon be the best Mom for them. We just need to raise him together and be a great parent for the kids,” said Rayan soothingly.

Intan looked at Rayan with a grateful look. He became aware of the struggle of Rayan raising a child that turned out not to be as easy as her shadow. Rayan never complained to him about the difficulty of educating the twins, compared to he who had only a few days to complain because of Ruby's words.

“Now help me prepare the table, Mas Eka and Johan will have breakfast with us too. Mom will be coming soon too. We have breakfast together,” said Rayan asked Intan for help. Rayan deftly turned on the stove to warm up the food that Bu Sri had prepared and re-cooked the food for Ruby.

Intan nodded, he saw that Rayan's back was busy in the kitchen. Rayan has gone through various trials to raise the twins, about how fussy it is when the child has a wish, or when the children are sick. Take care of the twins every day from waking to sleeping again, watching them while working, preparing for all their needs. Even when he got here, Rayan did not charge the twins to him in the least. Currently there is nothing he can do to make up for Rayan's struggle except his growing love for Rayan. He hugged the man to say that he was so grateful to have him. Intan immediately came to Rayan and helped her cook, she was determined to learn to cook from now on.

Johan who saw the affection of Rayan and Intan suddenly thought of something, “I think I have found the best solution to this problem, do you agree with me?” ask her to Eka.

Eka who turned out to be like-minded just nodded, “Ya, I think this is the best solution for their future. Let's discuss this after breakfast. In the meantime I'm going upstairs to talk to Ruby, because she's Viennese I think I can tear her down,” she said as she rushed to Ruby's room. Johan who was left alone finally helped Rayan set the dining table.
