Rita(The Adventure of the Conglomerate Grandchild)
Chapter 156: Cold and Warm
Daniel is confused by Rita's attitude that becomes cold to him, although he is still served after the office as usual, but Rita's face is not as cheerful as usual.
“Maybe because PMS” muttered Daniel under the shower water, finished his bath and dressed he prayed Isya, he saw Rita had slept soundly with the laptop still open in her lap. Daniel read the page that Rita read, an open lecture on law, tomorrow at 11:00 AM at one of the top universities in Singapore.
Daniel turned off the laptop, put it on a small table next to their bed. He tidied up Rita's blanket, then kissed her cheek and then went to sleep.
The next morning, Rita wakes up late, she does not prepare breakfast for Daniel. The cake course he took these few days made him tired. Daniel understood his wife's condition, so he worked out all his own needs. Rita looked at the clock on the wall,
“Already at 9 am!” he complained, he was confused why lately he was easily tired. He took a shower and got dressed, and he saw the sandwich Daniel had made this morning, with a message. “Hopefully according to your taste!” Rita smiled and devoured the two stalks of the beef sandwich
“Enak!” he said, then he tidied up and studied the route to the university in question in flier. He saw the clock showing at 10 am, he rushed off, he was so excited about going back to school, because he was tired of staying home just waiting for his husband to come home. He arrived at the place on time, after doing the registration, he entered into a large hall, semicircular in shape. In front of him was a large screen. To his right are several chairs and tables for speakers. Little by little the once empty room became full, some people were even forced to stand up. Looks like today's speaker is a figure in the field of law who is reluctant. A young woman approached Rita's seat
“This place is still empty?” the question is friendly, before Rita accidentally put her bag there, so people think the chair is already occupied by people.
“Oh yes, sorry!” Rita took her bag, the woman sat next to Rita, she was relieved it was not too late.
Rumbles of applause, when a man in his 50s entered the room, he introduced himself as a speaker and professor at the university.The open lecture consisted of 2 sessions. The first session discusses aspects of civil law, while the second session discusses aspects of criminal law. He started his studies, he told the case he had handled about renting an apartment, in Singapore some apartments are owned by foreigners, especially Indonesians. He recounts cases related to leasing and civil law disputes of apartment rentals.
The first session is considered less interesting and boring some people look out of the room.
The professor answered some questions from some participants who seemed to have experience in civil disputation. The first session ended 1.5 hours later.
Rita breathed a sigh of relief. He opened the sandwich that Daniel made, then he sent a message and a photo of the sandwich that he had bitten.
“hmm.yummy!! love them! Thanks Honey! Imoji hearts”
Daniel read the message from Rita, he smiled with relief, Rita was not angry anymore he thought. He is currently facing problems with his project. It looks like he made a mistake in making a budget estimate of the project. Daniel studied it well, then discussed it with his subordinates. They are also confused where the imbalance lies.
At 12pm, Daniel rushed to the nearest mosque. After praying, he did not go directly to the office, he stayed in the mosque to calm down. Someone circulated the reading about the evening prayer. Daniel was interested in reading it, seriously he read the benefits of night prayer to overcome anxiety and problems that hit the heart. He learned the way and intends to do it tonight.
While Rita attended the second session of the lecture. The second session was more interesting, the professor discussed about the rampant sexual harassment. Now the victims of abuse are not only from women, children and men are also experiencing. Both physically and verbally or in speech.
Physical abuse can be touching a part of the body where one does not like it.
What is now rife is the abuse that previously began with stalking, or trailing victims. Taking pictures of the victim secretly, stealing the victim's personal belongings. Even the worst rape occurs.
Often victims of abuse feel afraid to report because they feel harassed but not raped so they are confused whether the action can be reported or not.
There are cases where the perpetrator of abuse is even more fierce, to the point of threatening to kill the victim. If such a case, the victim must provide evidence, at least a recording of the victim's speech when threatening, in case of physical violence the victim made a visa at the Hospital and then report it to the local police.
Perpetrators of sexual abuse that is difficult to prove are usually from people who have family relationships with the victim, such as father, mother, brother, uncle, grandfather, cousin and ex-girlfriend.
How the best treatment of victims of sexual abuse, usually attending counseling with experts, or talking with someone needs to be aware that the victim of abuse is a victim who must be considered his or her human rights. They will continue to carry the wounds of the perpetrators for the rest of their lives, said the professor.
Rita listened to the lecture carefully, she accidentally saw the woman next to her looking down in fear, her hands looking shaky.
The woman's reaction was even more frightened when the professor told her about the terror perpetrators carried out, such as sending a nasty message to the victim's mobile phone, sending indecent images. The most severe the perpetrator managed to get into the victim's house or apartment and take a selfie there.
“You okay?” ask Rita to the girl
“Ah no!” he tidied up his bag, then left the room. At first Rita did not care, maybe the person was sick, he thought. But suddenly he saw an item of that person left behind. He tidied up his things and walked out of the room. He was looking for the woman, because the time he came out and the woman was long enough so that Rita lost track. He approached security and asked for help to find his friend who first came out because there are items left behind. Security helped Rita, she showed CCTV footage 5-10 minutes ago. Rita saw the woman coming out of the east door, she headed there after thanking security.
Rita ran small to chase the woman, she had given up and intended to return to the building, until she heard cries for help. He rushed to the place, before he turned on the recorder on his phone to record their conversation, he put up with a high level of sensitivity. The east exit is narrower than the west door, the streets are shabby and there are many alleys . Rita is confused why there are no people around, but if in Indonesia the slums are the most people. He ran to find the woman, then he heard a scream of pain. Rita heads to the place where the sound came from, she starts turning on the video and voice recorder from her other phone.
“Hey what is this? Why did you grab it?” rita asked, she purposely mentioned what the man did
“go there! It has nothing to do with you!” shouted one man. The man seemed to be of Indian descent, from his skin color and posture
“Can't be so, you're torturing a woman screamed Rita again
“Nothing to do with you! Go then! “ he cried again, his left hand still grabbed the hair of the woman, who was crying in pain
“Can't! I'll report this to the police!” threatening Rita, he deliberately provokes the person into attacking her, so that he can retaliate.
Rita acts as if she is going to call the police, the man threw the woman down and intends to pull Rita's phone.
Rita dodged, the man was hooked, he grabbed Rita's hair and intended to kick Rita's face with his knees. Rita understood the movement, she dodged, then she stood up and did a long kick towards the man. The man lost his balance and fell. He immediately got up and was about to attack Rita again, Rita pulled her hair and threw it away just like the man had done to the woman.
The woman stopped crying seeing Rita's actions on the man. After being exposed to some moves from Rita, the man gave up, he limply lay on the ground. Rita took the man's phone. The allegations are accurate, the man has committed acts of abuse against the woman.
Rita called security and then helped her report to the police. A few minutes later, the police came to pick up the suspect. The woman is the victim and Rita goes to the police station as a witness. Rita provided evidence of the man's assault on her. He also made several copies of it on his phone. He also reported the man's abuse to the woman.
He gave the evidence on the man's phone. Previously he made a copy and he sent it to his google drive just in case the man deleted the evidence on his phone.
After the report was made, the man was taken into custody for more intensive investigation. A social worker called by the police to deal with the abuse victims came, he approached the woman and took her somewhere to be treated for external injuries and counseling to heal her wounds . Rita patted the woman on the shoulder to give her courage. Suddenly she hugged him and thanked him. He felt very relieved and helped. The woman also left with the social worker earlier, she left while looking at Rita who waved her hand while smiling at her. Rita looked at the watch in her hand,
“Wah at 3pm!” he thought he still thought. She rushed to the nearest cake shop, wanting to make up with her husband. He bought some of Daniel's favorite cookies. Then back to the apartment. With the help of advanced tools, he could make many dishes in a short time. It only took 1 hour for all the dishes to be available, he put on the dining table covered with a warming food hood so that when her husband came the food remained warm. Then he took a shower and cleaned up. She sat in the living room waiting for her husband to come home reading the news on the tablet. He fell asleep on the sofa sitting down.
Daniel comes home from the office, he wakes Rita up.
“Honey! Move to bed!” reprimanded, Rita was shocked, she woke up from her sleep, she saw her new husband coming, tired face emanated from the look on her face, already at 6 pm.
“hhh...have you eaten dear?” the question is, he took Daniel's bag and suit, the bag he put in the workspace, while the suit was placed in the laundry room
“No!, I've imagined your cooking!” in particular,
he sat down while opening his tie and white shirt to leave a singlet shirt, Rita gave him a t-shirt to wear, then gave him plates and cutlery.
Daniel is confused by Rita's opposite attitude to last night.
“Maybe PMS is like this! Sometimes warm sometimes cold!” figured
He ate Rita's cooking with gourmand
“Wahh..not in vain I held the hunger since earlier!” abugn. Rita provides fresh juice for her
“ini for me?” tanyanya, Rita nodded with a smile. Daniel drank it with one gulp, slowly his tired face was gone.
“How is your openest lecture dear?” ask Daniel
“Hmm,
the professor looks very experienced!” answerable
“Not yet!, I want to join an open lecture on business management. I want to know first!” rita said, she smiled and cleaned Daniel's food and washed his dishes.
“You're okay, baby?” daniel asked, usually he himself washed and tidied up his food marks
“I'm healthy kog, I saw your face look tired earlier. I thought, I better help you a little”
“Washing my own dinner plate won't make me faint!” she smiled
“Already, you better immediately take a warm bath, I've heated the water. That's for your body to relax!” Rita pulls her husband into the bathroom and gives him a towel. Then he tidied up their beds and lit up the aromatherapy.
“Maybe the mood is good!” inwardly yes Daniel. After bathing and getting dressed, he prayed maghrib. After that he tilawah while waiting for the time of Isya
Rita opened her laptop on the bed, seeing her husband praying in another room.
Rita feels guilty for her husband, but last night she was offended because Daniel did not give the same reaction to her when he first met. The law professor explained about the perverted behavior of the perpetrators of abuse, namely the desire to attack the victim sexually at the first meeting.
Rita was relieved, Daniel was not that kind of person. Rita closed her laptop, then fell asleep.
At 3am he woke up,
“Sayang?” she looked for her husband she could not find, then she got up and came out of the bedroom. He saw Daniel praying at night. Rita was really excited to see her husband. She went to the kitchen and made a warm drink for her husband.
“You didn't sleep, baby?” daniel asked, he had finished praying
“I'm surprised you're not in bed!” rita answered, she gave him a cup of warm ginger. Daniel sipped the warm ginger deliciously
“Hmm...comfortable once, I was really pampered today!” she smiled
“You are good at making sandwiches, so good!” puji Rita's
“Hehehe...i'm good at cooking too right?, but the air frier is very helpful ya” said Daniel smiled, he again sipped his warm ginger
“Is there a problem in the office?” rita asked, she could see the worry in Daniel's face
“Biasalah, there is an error, the problem has not been found!” ablaze
“I learned from Brother Andi when he fixed his drone that did not want to fly!”
“oya? How?”
“He unloads everything again, he sorted one by one, he said, usually the error appears at the beginning. And tara!! The drone is back on the flight!”
“Hmm...what can it be?”
“Ya need to try right?” Rita said she was back to yawning
“I'm back to sleep ya baby!” he left Daniel alone in the dining room
“I'm following!” he said, he thought about Rita's advice, then he washed the cup, he returned to the room before he set the alarm so as not to miss the morning prayer. He went back to sleep hugging his beloved wife.
The next morning, Daniel had his subordinates reassemble all the project plans from the beginning. He also helped so that the work could be completed soon and he could present to the client about the improvements that would be made
“Meet sir! Turns out the error on his account sir!” said one of his staff
“try you fix, then input back to the original program!” daniel's orders
A few minutes later..
“True pack the error there!, now everything can be normal back!” said another staff
“Alhamdulillah!!” Daniel dropped his body on his chair he felt so relieved, he saw the calendar on his desk
“Hmm..today” muttered
That day he came home on time. As usual, Rita has prepared all her needs. Daniel brought a present for her. He gave it to her after he finished eating.
“There are two!” said Daniel
“What's new?” Rita received a large paper bag, inside there were 2 gifts
“The one for you the one for me!” with a dirty face. He took a shower with light steps
Rita opened the prize, the first was a Dior-branded handbag, the second the latest version of Victoria Secret. Rita understood what Daniel meant for her. He saw Daniel getting ready in bed. Rita rushes to the bathroom cleaning herself then puts on new lingerie from Daniel
“Honey! How to load?” call him impatient
Rita put on a bit of makeup and sprayed perfume on her body. Then he came out of the walking closet by covering his body with a bathrobe
“Kok not used? You don't like it?” ask Daniel
“Hmm...I think you must love it!” Rita opens her bathrobe, Daniel sees Rita wearing her lingerie, he immediately pulls her into bed, they make love. A few hours later they finished their activities together, Rita back in her pajamas.
“You don't wear that lingerie? “ ask Daniel
“It's still new, right? Should be washed first, I'm not used to use that directly from the store, do we not know what hygienic not?”
“But baby you're wearing it for just a minute! after that I open again right?” daniel said, Rita rubbed her face hard, Daniel laughed mischievously
“What's the business done?” rita asked, Daniel nodded
“Andi is right!, maybe this way I will continue to apply if it happens again like this!” ablaze
Rita opens an email from her tablet phone
“Honey we can reception invitation!” said Rita
“oya? When's? Who?”
“Next week! who married us!” Rita was sent a reception invitation by her grandfather in Auckland
