“So so the story,” said Andre after a long story.
Arlan was still dissolved in shock. This reality creates fear. What if Maysha gets seduced by another man and decides to get divorced.
No—no! Arlan tried to remove those ridiculous thoughts from his head. Given how loyal Maysha waited for these three years. But, isn't that possibility still there? Especially now on Arlan's side there is Laura, a selfish female figure who wants to control Arlan alone and is not willing to share it with Maysha.
“Why, Lan? You're surprised, right?” Andre chuckled after seeing Arlan's gloomy look on the face.
Arlan was speechless as he rubbed his face with the palm of his hand. His mind was now filled with Maysha. Without doing anything, Maysha has been able to resurrect something that Arlan has been guarding very well, like last night. Just looking at her smooth lips and waist already made her on fire.
“What do you think besides Doctor Mario, there are other doctors close to Maysha?”
“Many!” andre frontal replied. “Everything I remind you, don't let Maysha get tired and give up. Poor him has been waiting for you all this time. But when her husband returned, he was married and had a pregnant wife.”
The pieces of guilt were rooted deeper into Arlan's heart. Remembering the first day of his return. Maysha invites her to spend the night alone in their room, but Laura manages to prevent her from getting sick. The promise to Laura not to touch Maysha apparently backfired on her own. Now, Maysha has limited herself and is reluctant to be touched by her.
Thinking of it made Arlan feel claustrophobic. The tie wrapped around the collar of the shirt he pulled roughly. And Andre can always read every boss' gesture.
“Listen Maysha is close to other men only you are already hot, how are you Maysha who every day see her husband sleep in one room with another woman?” Andre again attacked with provocative language.
Arlan went back to thinking about Maysha. Although the woman always painted a smile, but somehow Arlan was able to see the sadness that radiated in her gaze.
“I'll apologize and talk to him later.”
“Not only with Maysha, but with Laura as well. Give Laura the understanding that you must also be fair to Maysha.”
Arlan only replied with a long breath. It seemed like he had to put in even more effort to restore his memories.
“Oh yes, you said I was in an accident while handling a case.” Arlan's speech managed to change the relaxed feel to tense. Andre distracts him from the laptop screen.
“True. You're dealing with the death of a college student named Noah Tristan involving Mr. Nicholas Lucas. Noah was killed after his car hit a concrete pole, minutes after meeting Mr. Lucas. People say that Mr. Lucas is a drug mafia and Noah knows all his secrets. But until now all the mysteries were unproven.”
“Then how after?” ask Arlan, getting curious.
“After you disappeared, the case was handled by another lawyer. Mr. Lucas was found not guilty and Noah's death was judged purely an accident.” Andre's explanation made Arlan even more curious and wanted to dig further. But, just about to ask another question, the door was already open.
“Let me in, I want to meet my husband!” Laura's voice sounded. Arlan turned to the door.
Laura forcibly enters followed by a woman who is Andre's secretary. Both Andre and Arlan were surprised that Laura suddenly came to the office.
“It's okay, Rani. You can come out!”
“Good, Sir!” The woman bowed politely before finally leaving the room. While Laura immediately sat down beside Arlan with an annoyed expression.
“What's up, Laura? Why suddenly follow here?” ask Arlan.
“I came to ask something from you, Mas!”
“What else?”
“I feel unappreciated in your home. The servants in your house dare to gossip about me! They dare insult me in the back!” Laura boards a blackboard after arriving home and finds some ART gossiping about her, so Laura gets angry and asks Mr. Udin to drive her to the office to see Arlan.
“No need to be this angry, Laura. I'll reprimand them later,” Arlan said.
“I don't need that, Mas!” cut Laura fast. His red eyes were emitting anger.
“So what do you want?” There was a thin wrinkle between Arlan's two thick eyebrows.
“Starting today I don't want to go home with Maysha. I want you to buy me a new house. One more thing, I want you to give some of your possessions in my name as collateral for the child in my womb!” pinta Laura sobbing.
The series of requests also made Arlan exhale long. Not knowing what to answer, Arlan glanced at Andre as if asking for an answer.
“Sorry, but it looks like Arlan can not fulfill your wishes on this one,” Andre said.
“Why can't it? I am Mas Arlan's wife and I am also entitled to all hers!” squeal Laura.
Andre went to his desk and opened the safe drawer there. Then he pulled out a map and swung it in front of Laura and Arlan.
Laura opened the sheets of the file that Andre gave her even though she did not really understand what was written there.
"What's this?" ask him while lifting a file.
Andre gave a thin smile. “One day before the accident three years ago, Arlan had transferred all his assets and possessions on behalf of Maysha Hadikusuma and it could not be contested by Arlan or Maysha herself. In the will signed by Arlan it is written, that all Arlan's property has become Maysha's right. If anything happens to Maysha, then only Arlan's child born to Maysha will be the heir. If not, then all Arlan's property will be donated to orphans.”
Laura's eyes widened. His whole body suddenly went limp. The paper in his hand just fell.
