Prisoner of Love CEO

Chapter 60. Business travel

...🍁🍁🍁...

For 6 years Ray lived his life blandly. Just work, go home, eat and sleep that he does. Without feeling anything, warmth or love.

Just alone and empty of life. Ray only holds on to the belief that someday Tisha and her son will return to him.

That morning, Ray prepared to go to the office as usual. When he came out of his room he saw Bi Ani who was several houses away.

"Bi, I'll be here tomorrow. Take care of the house with Mr. Grace" Ray told his assistant

"Master wants to go out? I mean you want to stay outside?" bi Ani asked while preparing a glass of warm tea for Ray.

"Yes, I have a business trip for a week abroad. So auntie just stay here" said Ray while sipping warm tea slowly.

Tisha, you should be the one who prepares tea for me every morning. Not someone else. Ray is saddened by the thought of Tisha who used to always prepare breakfast and a cup of warm tea for him every morning.

"Okay sir, be careful on her journey yes sir" Bi Ani smiled full of sincerity at Ray, wishing Ray well on his journey.

After the madam died, the master had already changed a lot. He can control his anger and his attitude gets better. But, I became sorry for him who lives lonely.Inner Bi Ani was concerned about Ray's situation which continues to be confused in 6 years after his wife and baby who contained it died in a car accident.

"Thank you Bi, auntie is also careful at home. If there's anything to ask for help, Mr. Grace" Ray moved from his seat and took his phone, then put it in his pocket.

"Yes sir"

"Oh yes Bi, do not forget to flush flowers in the back garden regularly. The flower is Tisha's favorite and should not wither or die" said Ray reminded Bi ani firmly. After Tisha disappears, Ray plants his own favorite pink roses in the garden and fills the garden with roses.

"Alright sir, I will definitely take good care of the flower" Bi Ani responded to Ray's orders.

Tong! Tong Ting!

🎵🎵🎵

"That must be Gerry sir, I will open the door sir" said Bi Ani who will soon step closer to the door

"No need, auntie just finish the aunt's job. I'll be gone soon" said Ray, dragging his big suitcase.

Ray opened the door and indeed in front of the doorway there was already Gerry waiting for him. Gerry immediately brought Ray's suitcase and put it in the car.

"I've now stored it in the back of the trunk, sir" Gerry smiled at the president

"Yes, we're leaving" Ray said in a cold voice.

Ray sat in the back seat, Gerry driving that car. They will head straight to the airport for a business trip. On the way, Ray kept looking at the photo in his wallet.

Photos of who else was there, in addition to photos of Tisha and pictures of her son's USG. Ray always takes her everywhere. When everyone believes Tisha and her son are gone, Ray doesn't believe at all.

"Gerry" call Ray to Gerry

"Yes sir?" gerry replied quickly

"Do you think I'm crazy?" ray asked as he looked at the photo in his wallet.

"What do you mean, father?" gerry asked puzzled by the meaning of Ray's question to him.

"Everyone thinks that Tisha and my son are gone, but I believe that they are still in this world. Gerry's honest reply" Ray smiled bitterly, that smile harboring a million wounds.

The heartache of losing the woman he loved so much and his future son who had not even been born into the world. For years Ray faithfully waited to live in solitude. Waiting for the presence of Tisha and her son who will break all her loneliness and end her wait.

What to answer? actually, the president is a little disturbed, but he's not crazy. Wrongly answered, my salary could be cut. If I don't answer, I'm threatened with being fired. Gerry kept quiet, confused as to what to answer

"I don't think you're crazy. Although he was a little disturbed, but he was still sane. You only believe what you believe" explained Gerry honest from his heart

May this end I am still alive Gerry's inner hope

"Are you honest?"

"I'm honest sir" Gerry replied rather shuddering with a sharp question from Ray.

"You said that I was a little distracted, but I was still sane. Good answer" Ray smiled

"Hehe yes sir" Gerry grinned, but his heart screamed in fear of losing his job.

"Gerry like his duties are still lacking a lot, after this journey is completed I will give you a task three times than usual" Ray smiled sinisterly, his eyes staring intently at Gerry

"Sir, did you tell me to be honest?" Gerry whined at his president

"Oh Gerry, why are you whining like this? just accept your fate" Ray crossed his arms around his chest

Not fired, not cut in salary, even given a lot of duties. Although the President has changed his attitude for the better, but he is still cruel to his workers. Ms. Tisha.if you are really alive, please come here and treat the heartache of the President.

Gerry's sincere prayer for Ray's President was. Gerry feels sorry for Ray's condition, even though outside Ray looks cold and strong but in his heart, Gerry knows very well that Ray hurt very deeply.

Until after a car accident that hit Tisha, Ray did not want to drive his own car. Ray always asks Gerry to take him and pick him up when going and coming home from his office.

Every time I drive myself, Ray always shakes. Ray remembers his parents' accident, and Tisha's accident. Maybe what Ray feels is shock or trauma. Sleep medicine always acts when Ray can not close his eyes, every time he sleep he will always be imagined memory of Tisha.

The nightmare about Tisha burning in the car and asking for help, always looms over her head and it's very creepy. However, lately Ray has always dreamed about the unusual.

#FLASHBACKS

In Ray's dream, last night..

Ray was walking in a vast meadow, alone there. Shortly after that he saw two men in the meadow.

A long-haired woman was holding a boy's hand. Ray only looked at the backs of the two people. Ray's heart thumped with thump at the figure of the long-haired adult woman.

"Tisha! you're Tisha, right?" call Ray to the woman and the little boy who are getting away from him. "Tisha it's me!! I thought you were alive! is he our son?" asked Ray with teary eyes.

Ray was happy to see Tisha there. Ray wanted to run after him, but there he could not move.

The woman turned her body and turned to look at Ray, while the little boy did not turn to her "Sister Ray, this is our child" Tisha smiled at Ray, saying, his eyes were on the child he was holding his hand with

"really?? you guys still alive?? mana, I want to see our son!" exclaimed Ray excitedly, he cried day after day because his son and wife are fine

The little boy turned his head towards Ray and before Ray could see his face, his dream was over. And he woke up from his sleep.

#END FLASHBACKS

Dreams are a sign, right? a sign that you and your child are still alive? ray's mind is still full of hope.

Gerry and Ray have arrived at the airport, the plane they will be boarding will take off soon to New York, America.

🍀🍀🍀

That afternoon in front of kindergarten, New York. Tisha picked up Rasya. He waited for Rasya in front of his school early. I hope that my son is no longer angry with her. Tisha buys Rasya's favorite candy, candy that explodes in the mouth.

Rasya is very curious about his papa, me and Zayn will tell him later.

Tong!

🎶🎶

The doorbell rang, and all the students in the kindergarten began to scatter out of the school area. Tisha was about to go in to pick up her son, but when she entered the school area. He saw something unexpected.

"How dare you insult my mother?! my mother is not a whore and I am not an illegal child!" Rasya beat his friend who was exhausted, his eyes full of emotion and anger.

BUCK

BUCK

The other students were just watching the show.

"If your mother is not a whore? Then where is your father? you don't have a father right?" the child who was beaten by Rasya was endless insulting Rasya and Tisha. The boy also hit Rasya back. There was a clash between the two children.

Rasya's heartache constantly insulted his friends because he did not have a father. Tisha and a teacher came to break them up. Both faces were battered and injured.

"Why are you, son?!" Tisha held onto Rasya who kept wanting to beat up his friend. Rasya snorted in annoyance.

Rasya and the boy were taken to the teacher's room. After that they made peace there. Tisha saw her son's bruised face.

"Darling, mama treat the wound first huh?" tisha asked as she sat Rasya in the chair in front of the school gate.

Is Rasya angry with me? it was obvious he was angry, he was pouting constantly from earlier. Brother Fayra is right, I must tell Rasya about his biological father immediately. Tisha feels guilty for her son

Rasya was still pouting, he didn't say a word. He secretly glanced at his mother with fear.

Are you mad at me because I fight? but does mom not look angry?

"Darling, wait here. Mama take the medicine box first" he said to Rasya gently

Rasya did not reply, only nodding his head.

A little while later Tisha again took the medicine box, she applied the ointment on her son's bruised face. Rasya looked at his mama with fear.

Usually Tisha always scolded her if Rasya played a prank on her friend. But this time Tisha kept quiet and acted softly towards Rasya. It made Rasha astonished.

"Mama.." call Rasya to her mama

"Yes baby? is anyone sick?" ask Tisha worried

"No ma.. Rasya just wanted to ask, isn't mama mad at me?" asked Rasya innocently, he was afraid of being scolded.

"Why is mommy angry? is there a reason you should be angry?" tisha asked as she gently stroked her son's face.

"I've been naughty, I fought in school"

"Your actions are wrong, but my mother will not blame you. Because mama was the cause of all this" Tisha smiled bitterly, her eyes glazed over at Rasya.

"Why is everything wrong, Mom? I hit her, I've made mama ashamed" Rasya looked down sad, but Tisha had advised her to hold back her anger and not to be violent. But Rasya broke it, the boy felt guilty.

"Mama want to ask Rasya first, does Rasya regret hitting Rasya's friend?"

"Not mah" Rasya shook his head

"Why?" ask Tisha

"Because I think he deserves to be hit!" rasha replied as she pursed her lips, the five-year-old boy looked adorable.

GREPS

Tisha hugged the child while holding back tears. Tisha apologizes to Rasya for not understanding her situation. Now that Tisha knows the reason Rasya is angry with her, Rasya is annoyed at being ridiculed constantly by his friends. Even Rasya beat his friend because his friend had insulted Tisha as a prostitute.

"Mom not angry?" Rasya smiled happily

My mom is not angry

"Your mother is not angry, but she does not justify your actions. You can't fight anymore either" Tisha reminded

"Yes ma, Rasya promise"

"And mom also promised to tell me about your papa" Tisha smiled at Rasya

"What ma?!!" Rasya smiled widely, he was very excited.

"Yes dear, but later when Zayn comes home. He'll tell us"

"Yee cool!!" Rasya leaped for joy, sad that was immediately lost when Tisha promised to tell about her papa.

Basic little boy, just a second ago he was angry and sad, a second later he was instantly excited.

"This is your favorite candy mama" said Tisha, handing over a large packet of candy to Rasya.

Rasya was getting happier, he smiled brightly. They got into the car and on their way back home.

"Darling, why don't you cry? is your wound not hurt?" tisha asks while driving to her son

"The wound hurts" Rasya replied as he ate the candy that exploded in his mouth

"Why don't you cry?" ask Tisha wonder

"Said om Zayn, men should be strong and should not cry" answered Rasya honestly and always apply what was said by Zayn. During this time Zayn played an important role as the figure of the man closest to Rasya.

I'll finally know what my birth papa is like. He must be handsome just like me, Rasya said happily

"Oh that's it" Tisha simply smiled in response to her son's words.

***

The next day at New York airport, Ray is picked up by his important colleague. Ray and Gerry head straight to the hotel where they will be staying in a beautiful countryside.

"I just found out that there are hotels in the countryside like this. Usually the hotel is in the middle of the city" said Ray while looking at the luxury hotel that stands in the middle of the countryside. Ray smiled in admiration.

"Yes sir, I deliberately built it here so that visitors can enjoy the scenery here" explained Erik, Ray's business partner

"Good too, like here would be nice" Ray smiled with satisfaction at the rustic view from the room where he would stay.
