The sound of foot-banging coming from expensive fantovel shoes is heard echoing in the office lobby. The noise coming from the chatter of employees who were working suddenly stopped when they saw the arrival of their boss who seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Let's hurry Alice!" A woman dressed in a black blazer encouraged the woman in front of her to walk faster. He was having trouble carrying a heavy pile of files.
"Shut up!" The woman next to him.
Bugh
"Aww!"
"Do you have no eyes!" Arthur snapped across the room. The silence that was originally created now disappeared as employees began to approach and swarm to the origin of the sound.
The woman with the name tag 'Alice' who fell down in front of Arthur complained loudly while holding her leg. The burly body he had just hit made him fall to make his legs hurt.
"You who walk don't see anyone, why blame me!" Alice who still did not understand the situation and still did not look at the person in front of her did not want to be blamed. Because he feels innocent.
Why is he so stupid!
Inner friend while looking at Alice without daring to help. Working for ten years here has made him memorize how to mimic the face of his master when angry. Instead of being affected, he better be quiet and stare heartlessly at his new friend who he just knew.
"How dare you talk to me like that!" The second snapping sound again slid from Arthur's vocal cords accompanied by the gaze of his eagle eyes that seemed ready to tear - shred anyone in front of him. I don't know, what demon possessed the man until now all he wanted was to vent his anger on someone else.
Alice's two eyes instantly stared at the man towering above her. His eyes were all round, cold sweat soaked his forehead that his hands trembled with fear. The woman was not too familiar with the voice of her boss because she was a new employee who had only worked for three weeks.
"Ma-af sir, I didn't know it was you. I'm sorry sir." With great effort he got up from the floor. Glancing annoyed at the woman beside him, why not tell him that it was their superior. Now there are only two possibilities. Forgiven but punished severely or prepared to leave this giant company.
"There is no apology for this insult! I'm firing you right now!" The emotional Arthur, without thinking long, told the innocent employee who painstakingly followed the selection among thousands of people so that he became one of the workers here.
"Please don't fire me sir! Forgive my stupidity, I promise not to repeat it again. " At once the clear liquid began to bathe his cheeks. It was hard to get into this building. And just because the actual carelessness is not entirely his fault, of course Alice will be very sad if she has to lift her foot from here.
Whispers - whispers of male and female workers were still heard there. They felt pity for the girl who stood up and was receiving the final verdict from the fierce big boss.
"If there's Mr. Reynard, it's certain that woman will survive" whispered one of the employees.
"Stop away! " Arthur continues his steps, he does not want to waste time with unimportant things that will make his mood more destroyed.
"My master please.. " Alice was still loyal to her position, blocking Arthur's footsteps which made the man growl annoyed.
"You..!" Just now he was coming back to bring out his anger, but he puffed out.
"Follow my room!" His words then passed from there with wide steps. Arthur's departure was followed by the disbandment of employees who had lost their spectacle object.
With trembling hands Alice was still standing in place. Between fear and confusion what to do.
"What do you see! Go there!" One of his friends pushed her shoulder back.
"Come with me, I'm so scared."
"Don't be crazy you're Alice, if you lose this job what's the fate of your family. If you stay here, you're really gonna lose your job. But if you go there, at least there's still a chance you'll forgive me." The woman passed from in front of Alice and took quick steps. How unfaithful a friend with how to leave his friend when a stressful situation like this.
"It's so annoying! Watch out for you later if you ask me for help. " Alice grumbled in annoyance as she stepped towards the elevator.

"Where are you going?" Tegur Myara when she saw Aisha would move from her seat. The woman broke her intention and sat back on the bed.
"I'll be down for a second, let me go." Say it with a clear tone.
Aisha had to go find Arthur, from yesterday the man could not be contacted. Moreover, he did not have time to ask Reynard considering that Myara's husband had to go to replace Arthur abroad.
Yesterday when Aisha continued her journey after taking care of the administration at the hospital where Rithik was treated, arrived on the way the car she was driving broke down to require her to wait until night. Not to mention his unstable endurance made him nauseous and dizzy.
"Can't! You catch a cold last night and still nauseous - nausea right, your head must also still be spinning?. I don't want a baby in your belly why - napa. " Myara said with worry. Imagining last night his best friend who was lying limp on the bed and not stop vomiting just makes him feel sorry.
"I beg Myara, I want to see Arthur. I'm healthy anyway. Let me go.. " Aisha cupped Myara's hand while pleading with her gaze.
"Listen to me Sha, you have to rest a lot. Don't stress and think about your content. Arthur's an adult, he can take care of himself, but what about a fetus in your stomach that might just be a lump of blood?. " Tell Myara gently. " You can go when you're better." Further again.
The mother-to-be justifies the words of her best friend. It is true, at this time the child in the stomach which may be a new lump of blood or meat is more important. But Aisha felt better. His stomach was not nauseous and his dizziness gradually disappeared since taking medicine from the doctor last night.
"All right, I'm not leaving. "
"It's so new right, but I'm sorry I seem to have to leave now. My father told me to buy medicine for him. But I'll be right back, you calm down." Myara's hand held out the phone and the sling bag on the table. This time he really has to manage his time well because of the many responsibilities he holds.
"Is your father sick? Then you better just go home. Your father is certainly more important than I am Myara?!" Panicked words.
Aisha felt bad for burdening everyone. Myara must be very difficult if you have to go here and there to take care of two people especially considering the distance of the second house is quite far.
"Where can I, Aunty Rania is taking Eylina to Italy. Who will take care of you here?. I'm going, take care of yourself." The woman's sweat just before she disappeared behind the door.
Aisha's eyes turned towards the window whose curtain was opened to make it easier for the sun to reach her room.
"If I keep quiet here I won't calm down. I have to get to Arthur's office, and my body is better than yesterday."
He slowly got up from his seat and walked slowly towards the first floor.
The condition of this mansion is always quiet and empty even though many servants and guards depend on their fate by working here. But they had their own place and were not allowed to enter the main house without any essential need except for the senior servants.
Aisha's starving stomach leads her to the dinner table. Looks like food was there. Making him swallow his saliva want to immediately devour the food in the stomach.
"The lady's down? How's madam doing, is it still sick? " One of the senior servants greeted Aisha. The woman smiled and replied to the servant's aunt.
"I'm good bi, it's not nauseous and dizzy anymore." Said Aisha while spooning a mouthful of rice and side dishes into her mouth. But just one mouthful it felt like he wanted to spit out the food. It feels so bland. There was no way the usually delicious servant aunt's cooking could be like this. This must be because his tongue is still bitter because of pain that makes him unable to taste the delicious taste of cooking.
The woman continued to chew and swallow the food that had entered her mouth. It was not good when he vomited it especially in front of the servant aunt who had worked hard to make this much cooking.
"What's not good, madam? Does the lady not like my cooking?" Ask with worry.
"No Bi, aunt's cooking is as good as ever. But I'm full. Why are aunts cooking this much anyway?" Since coming down from her room Aisha was confused, why there was so much food on the table.
"Sorry madam, this is just my anticipation. Usually on Mr. Arthur's birthday, many of his office friends will come here to eat together. I'm worried that later I won't have time to make food considering the other waiters are also a lot of work."
"Year date?" Aisha's forehead wrinkled in wonder showing her ignorance.
"Yes, the lady doesn't know? On this day, the lord is 30 years old. "
"Yes, I don't even know when my husband's birthday is. Auntie knows even more than I do. " Aisha patted her forehead. She feels right to be a useless wife who does not even know when the date of birth of her own husband after a long stay together.
"Auntie, prepare the ingredients, I'll make a special cake for my husband." Aisha got up from her seat and walked towards the kitchen.
"But madam.."
***
And here he is now, in front of a towering building with the Anderson Group logo on it. This sturdy and elegant building is the place where her husband works. The breeze is as breezy as the sun begins to set as if to witness his presence.
"Arthur, we'll solve this problem today. You must have been so happy when I brought you the cake I cooked for myself. Moreover.. " Aisha smiled happily at the gift wrapped in silver paper with a ribbon on it. Which of course is a special gift for her beloved husband who has been angry with her lately.
In her heart she hopes that this misunderstanding will end and Arthur will return to her after hearing the news of her pregnancy.
After paying money to the taxi driver, he began to step into the tall building. Clad in a black dress and flat shoes Aisha began to enter the lobby. Some employees are packing and others have to work overtime. For some reason when he entered, attention immediately centered on him. Everyone would know that the woman was the legal wife of the owner of this place.
"Why are they looking at me like that? Ah, let it go."
Aisha chooses the cuek and continues her steps.
After waiting for a while, Aisha's two footsteps arrived at the highest floor where the owner's room was located.
With pleasure and nervous he walked slowly, until he arrived in front of Arthur's room. Beside him was a desk of a female staff member who served there.
"Good afternoon madam, how can I help you?" Ask the staff politely. He knew who the elegant woman in front of him was.
"I'd like to meet Mr Arthur, is it inside?"
"There, but.."
"All right, I'll drop this off first. I'll get it later." Aisha placed a special gift she had prepared for her husband. Started to put a figure candle on the cake that he had brought.
Slowly but surely both feet stepped on the cold floor to the door of the CEO's room.
The beautiful bead of the woman was patterning watching what she was currently seeing.
Arthur seemed to hold me a woman who came out of nowhere.
"Arthur!" Unknowingly the cake that Aisha brought fell splattered on the ground.
Without an aba she approached and landed a slap on the cheek of the ignorant woman who was impudently approaching her husband.
Plaque!
A hard slap from a martial artist woman does feel many times more sick than women in general. It felt Alice, let alone this woman before him in a state of great anger.
"Women don't know themselves!" Aisha pushed and kept the woman away until she was cornered at the end of the room.
His eyes were red and watery, it was painful to see the man he loved so close to another woman. Maybe this is the first time he's slapped someone.
And look at that damn man, he just sat quietly watching from his seat of pride as if this was an interesting spectacle for him.
"What are you doing with my husband huh!!"
"Mrs you misunderstood! It's not like that!" Alice could see the deep disappointment and heartache of the woman before her. Really, he felt very guilty.
"Then what was it like?! And you, what are you doing with her?! Has your attitude changed because you have another woman?!"
Aisha's tears were unstoppable. Indeed he was angry, but his heartache and sadness were greater than his current anger. He feels betrayed.
Arthur never changed.
Aisha thought from the first time the man told her love, then she would really change and improve herself.
But it turns out the assumption was wrong. Lying if she does not know all the bad qualities of her husband in the past.
All the traits and delinquencies of Arthur who used to love playing women he had known from the beginning - the beginning he stepped on the Anderson residence.
Initially sad, but seeing Arthur who began to change and never sought pleasure with other women after they married, made her heart begin to accept the shortcomings of her husband.
All humans have a past.
Arthur moved from his seat. He looked at the woman he had always longed for, but he denied it.
"If so, why? You also cheated on that brengs*ek guy.
You had a good night with him. You even ignored your husband and told him nothing. Is that what you call a good wife?." Said Arthur.
"Huh, a great woman in every way, who said she was never close to any man?! Then what are you doing this final end?! You and the other women out there are just the same! All women in the world are the same! No one can be loyal, everything is cheap!!"
Arthur said flatly but filled with overflowing emotions.
Indeed, all this time the woman he met was two-faced, no one could be loyal.
His mind arrived - coming back to the past, where the lover he loved also betrayed him.
Aisha felt like she wanted to be deaf to accept all the insults and accusations made against her.
All women are not the same.
But he was already heartbroken to hear every scorn that came out of the mouth of the person he loved so much.
Believe me, when the one you love hurts you even once, then it will be more painful than a thousand enemies who attack you simultaneously.
"If I'm cheating, why?! What difference do you have with this cheap me?
At least I can keep my honor until I get married, unlike you who were dirty before being with me!"
The woman spoke with emotion.
He doesn't care about his relationship with Arthur.
Let the man dissolve into misunderstanding!He doesn't care!.
All he wanted was to keep the developing fetus in his womb.
Just as Arthur was about to say, Aisha had already passed by with wide steps from her room.
The girl wiped away her tears so that no one would look at her even if it was a waste.
While Arthur was left with an unpredictable look on his face and a frightened Alice in the corner of the room watched the tense scene he had just experienced.
***
Aisha exited the building, not knowing where to go. What is clear is that he does not want to go back to Arthur's house which will certainly torture him even more.
He was never insulted this badly, all he got from being small was affection and high honor.
What can be used as an insult while he is almost close to the word perfect.
Beautiful, smart, rich and elegant.
The woman walked down a dark street while holding her stomach which inexplicably hurt.
His head was also dizzy until he felt like he wanted to vomit.
"That hurts.. " Rintih Aisha with tears that never stop flowing.
He did not find a hospital or taxi to take.
Not to mention her bag and cell phone were left on the female staff desk earlier.
"aww.. " Aisha crouched down and cried, she was afraid of her baby why - napa.
He could not walk to the nearest hospital. There was only a car that passed by without anyone caring about him.
"sickness.. Aww. hang on, baby." Aisha muttered while stroking her stomach.
"Sister, I wish you were here." His sobs are getting heard.
It felt as if his head was spinning which made his vision blurry.
He closed his eyes.
Until shortly afterwards he heard the roar of a vehicle that stopped not far from him.
Faintly he saw the black-clothed man approaching, wiping away his tears and was about to help him stand up. After that Aisha did not see anything because suddenly she was unconscious.
Flashback..
Ting!
One message came in Arthur's cell phone lying on the table.
The man was listening to the woman's apology in front of him.
At first he was just indifferent to reading the message, but inexplicably arrived - a knotty smile formed on his lips.
He pulled out Alice's kneeling hand pleading for leniency in front of him.
I don't know what demon possessed her mind so she thought, if Aisha made her jealous why she didn't do it to let her know what it was like to be hurt.
"Eh, what's wrong, sir?!" Alice asked confusedly.
Seriate...
