Prangg! Salwa's voice dropped everything on her dresser. Salwa and Luke's affection was always in his head until he returned home.

"Why did it get like this?!" Throwing her phone at her reflected in the mirror. "Aargh!" He shouted with his hair ruffled in front of the mirror that had cracked like his heart at this moment. He could not help but love the man but on the other hand he had to follow Raden's orders.

From the beginning Raden was the one who asked him to withdraw his feelings for Luhan. He even willingly rejected Luhan's proposal for the purpose of Raden controlling the entire Imperial group. Raden promised him that once his goal was achieved he would give Luhan to him. But what happened Raden instead let Luhan establish a relationship with Salwa. Salma ended up being the third person in the relationship between Luhan and Salwa.

Swas watch out swas! The sound of the shower soaking all over Salma covered the tears that continued to flow nonstop. He was crying over his messy life.

At the same time Lukas could not stop releasing his gaze from Salwa who was sitting staring at the computer screen in front of him. The two went to the company after Raden, Ronal and Salma finally left the Kardinata residence.

"Boss!" Call Bobi who has been half an hour standing waiting for Luke to wake up from his daydream. "Boss!" Calling him for the umpteenth time made Salwa look at Luke.

"Lord!" Call Salwa turn her chair staring straight at Luke who then wakes up.

"Yes." Yeah." His mouth quickly averted his gaze from Salwa looking at Bobi who narrowed his eyes to see Luke who was caught off guard by Salwa. "Not that I've said everything related to the company has to go through Salwa then the-"

"- It's the Boss." Cut Bobi. "The boss was a daydreamer." The ledek gives the file that needs to approve Luke.

"Hm." Lukas signed the document that Bobi handed over by occasionally glancing at the smiling Salwa on the monitor in front of him.

Sir! Luke's voice closes the last document a few minutes later.

"Oh yes!" Luke gives Bobi all the documents back. "You still have one more picture of that woman, right?" Luke asks Bobi about a photo that Salwa accidentally saw yesterday.

"Ma-still Boss." His leg was nervous as he looked at Salwa for a while and then looked back at Lukas while grabbing something from behind his suit. "It's-it's the boss." Give Luke a photo by sliding it slowly on the table.

The srekk! Luke's voice drew him with lightning making Bobi surprised.

"God!" Call Luke to open Bobi's eyes.

"Yes?" Salwa looked over from behind her monitor.

"Do you know the woman in this picture?" Reversing the photo showing it to Salwa made Bobi snort in annoyance.

"Bobi's new shit isn't it?" Sahut Salwa looked at Bobi who rolled his eyeballs up to hold back his annoyance.

"Oh yeah?" Luke's lips held back a laugh. "Why did I just find out?" Just asked the ridicule of Bobi who turned around the body leaving the two in annoyance.

"He why?" Salwa asked confusedly. "Obviously he was the one who said yesterday that it was his new shot." Salwa continued explaining continued by looking back at Luke.

"It turns out so the story." Luke put the photo on the table. "Have you ever heard of Valen Grey?" Luke asked to pull the laptop in front of him to check one by one the messages Bobi sent to him.

"Who is he?" Ask Salwa back. "I've never heard that name anywhere." The bridge moved from his chair.

"Ah, I've heard of it." A few seconds later, Salwa woke Luke up. "But I'm not sure what Dafa means is Grey Dafa." Reciprocity.

"Where have you heard of it?" Luke asked to fold his hands together by leaning his body against the back of the chair.

"Mother." The answer. "I've heard Mommy say that name when she talks to someone on the phone" she said, leading Luke to re-establish his body with both hands propped up on his chin.

A wulan? it seemed like he knew that Raden who was with him all this time was not the Original Raden. Inner Luke who then saw Salwa in a hurry reached for the phone and made a call to Wulan who was tied to a chair with her face looking up was hit by the sunlight from the glass roof. A shabby dress with bloodstains wrapped around her deathly pale body.

Shurr! The water came to wake him who was trying to stay alive all night.

"Take the knot out of his mouth!" Raden orders the bodyguard who just spilled a bucket of water on Wulan.

Kringgg! The voice calls in from Salwa on Wulan's cell phone which is in Raden's grasp.

"Look!" Appoint Raden to Wulan. "Salv." Incoming call from Salwa. "A very strong inner contact, isn't it." Cibir Raden pulled Wulan's hair. "But it's a pity that he doesn't know all that." Pulling back so tightly made Wulan scream in pain. "Do you think I don't know what you're doing behind my back, huh!" Gripping Wulan's hair. "You pretended not to care about Salwa but behind me and Salma you secretly pushed her on Luhan!" Throwing a slap into Wulan's face.

Plakk!

"Truly clever!" Praise Raden with applause. "After 22 years apart you finally know how to protect Raden Prakas' daughter." Looking up his palm greeted by a guard came to give a whip.

Plakk! The sound of Raden swinging his whip to the floor made Wulan startled with a trembling body.

"Haha!" Raden's loud laughter saw the frightened Wulan looking at the whip in his hand that was about to land on his body. "You scared?" Tanya Raden brought her face closer to Wulan. "Over the last two years I've tried to turn a blind eye to your hard work in finding her existence." Cupping Wulan's cheeks. "And trying to protect her from afar." Pressing his cheek hard. "But how dare you mess up my plans against the Imperial group." Pulling hand. "By giving a picture of my mother to David Kardinata's son." Laying the whip in his hand on Wulan's body.

"Let'soo!" Jerit Wulan received the first lash. "Let'soooo!" The screams sounded again. Now the screams are earthy with the sound of lashings from an empty house located 20 meters from the backyard of Raden Prakas residence.

Prangg! the glass in Salma's hand fell to the kitchen floor. He was startled by the faint sound of screams emanating from the backyard.

"Yetoo!" Call him open the door leading to the backyard. He suddenly remembered Wulan who often spent time with plants in the backyard. "Where are you going?" Ask Salma who didn't find Wulan there. "There hasn't been a look yet." He pulled the door to close it again. "Try calling me again?" Tanyanya stepped up to reach her phone in the pantry by continuing to leave the kitchen while making a call to Wulan.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is busy! Try a few more moments or press one to leave a voicemail." The voice of the operator answered Salma and Salwa calls at the same time.

"Where?" Luke asked Salwa who shook her head.

"The number is now turning to busy." Answer Salwa. "Obviously it's still connected." Cupping his forehead with a worried look while returning to buy the Wulan number as well as Salma.

"The number you're calling is off or out of reach!" The voice of the operator made Salma and Salwa frown.

"Why is it not active now?" Tanya both compactly pulled her phone from the ear.
