"I know, it's not easy to get rid of past trauma. That must have been very difficult for you. But... If you can be a female monster to everyone, why can't you be a female monster when dealing with people like Kenzo?" Dimas was so eager to advise Anita like a very wise man. The man was not even aware of Anita's already irritated face.
"Female monster?" said Anita while showing her fierce face. "YOU INSULTED ME, HUH?" then shouted.
Dimas jumped in shock at the sound of Anita screaming. Then show her bitter smile.
"No! Nah! That's not what I mean." Dimas answered the wave while raising his palm.
"THAT'S WHAT?" shouted again. "I know for you I'm just a horrible woman, a female monster, you call me that, right?" For a moment, Anita forgot her sadness. Dimas always managed to provoke his emotions. In fact, now his breathing became faster to resist his irritation.
"Prophey! Be patient! People say, people are patient in loving God."
"I don't have the patience for a human like you!"
"Heh, look at you! You always carry a firearm in your pocket. You always threaten people with that. If I feel like you're more like a female monster, it's natural."
"You call it again!" anita said gritting her teeth, making Dimas' guts shrink.
Quickly, the man knelt down and begged for forgiveness. "Alright, alright! Beautiful Miss Anita, forgive me! I really did not intentionally refer to you as a female monster. I just...just..." Dimas could no longer strongly continue his sentence after staring at Anita's unfriendly look.
"DIMASSSS!!!" anita shouted with a thunderous voice.

Dimas rubbed his reddened face as he had just received Anita's five-finger union gift. By saying thousands of vows, the always cheerful man lifted Anita's suitcase and put it in the car.
"That female monster is really terrible. I don't know why he's so scared of Kenzo." Dimas muttered in annoyance. "Lord, I hope I don't marry such a fierce woman. I could be chopped off by him."
Not long after, Anita appeared from inside the skyscraper and immediately climbed into the mobi and slammed the door hard. Dimas was jumped in shock, wiping his chest several times.
"Geez, what if the car door came off? You female monster!" muttered.
"If you still call me a female monster, my bullets will actually pierce your heart!" yelled Anita from the car.
Immediately, Dimas got into the car and sat in the steering chair.
"Are you a psychic? You can even hear my slow whisper," asked Dimas with an innocent face.
Anita did not answer. However, his gaze was as if ordering the man to immediately start the car engine.
"Yes, okay! I'll lock my mouth tight." he said as he turned on the car engine.

Elsewhere, Zian was staring at his wife with admiration. Naya is playing the piano in a room that Zian deliberately made for her. Both of the men's eyeballs continued to be fixed on Naya, without blinking.
(
The beautiful groove of the piano is so fused with the melodious voice of Naya. Indeed, Zian truly felt Naya as a fairy descending from grace.
Until Naya finished singing a song, then Zian shifted his eyes.
The man approached, then gave a kiss on the top of his wife's head. Then take a sitting position next to him.
"Teach me to play the piano!" said Zian while pressing the piano keys with just anyone.
"That's easy. But you'll have to pay a lot for it!"
"Well, how much do I have to pay, miss?" ask Zian.
"Very expensive. You and your money won't be able to pay for it" Naya said, playing a few notes.
"You know I don't have any money right now. I've switched everything I have on your behalf. So don't ask for money! I'm just a poor man." Zian showed his sad face in front of Naya.
"All right, let's make a deal!" naya said excitedly.
"I'll teach you how to play the piano, but I'm asking you to pay with your time."
"Pay with my time? Sounds like your deal's interesting."
"I'll ask for your whole life to be with me, until I don't breathe anymore." Naya raised her little finger.
"All right, Princess... I concur. Now teach me to play the piano" he said, linking his little finger to Naya.
"Now! You and your time are mine. You have no right to leave me again."
"Alright, Honey. I'm only yours until death do us part." Zian stroked the wife's long hair fondly.
Finally, Naya taught her husband to play the piano to feel upset himself because Zian did not understand either. The man was more focused on the face of the wife rather than on her piano.
"I'm tired of teaching you, sir! You're really hard to teach."
"You really are a fierce teacher. How can your student be smart if you're all that, can pregnancy also turn a woman into a nakak?" sahut Zian as he pinched his wife's cheek.
"And if all the students are like you, then all the teachers could have a stroke" Naya replied.
"You're saying I'm stupid, aren't you?" Zian made a face look like he was very upset.
"No! I didn't say you were stupid. I'm just saying you're very hard to learn."
"That's the same thing. Only the pronunciation is different,"
The debate between the two men continued until a servant came and told Anita about her arrival. Zian and Naya immediately move to the living room, welcoming Anita's arrival in the house.
"Welcome, Anita!" naya said with a beautiful smile.
"thank you. I'm sorry I might trouble you guys by staying in this house."
"Ah, no! Consider it your own home."
Naya and Aunt Carlota escort Anita to the room they had prepared for Anita. While Dimas immediately reported his findings about Anita who had wanted to kill himself.
"Boss, you're right! The female monster could not be left alone in this state. He even committed suicide by hanging himself" Dimas said.
"That's why I asked him to stay in this house."
"Boss, I just found out that Anita is Kenzo's widow" whispered Dimas.
Zian was surprised to hear Dimas' words. "You know where it came from? Did Anita say it?"
"Yes, Boss! He told me his past. Turns out she's a poor girl."
Zian let out a rough sigh, then leaned back on the chair. "Because of that, I can't keep her out of my life. Until he's completely safe. Thank you for helping me take care of her."
"Calm down, Boss! But honestly, I'm still a little scared of him. He's still threatening me with his gun."
Zian chuckled at the words of his assistant. The dimas that were less able to filter the sentence that came out of her mouth always made Anita feel annoyed.
"He's just threatening you! Anita is not that bad." Zian said later.
"Hopefully my soul mate is not such a horrible woman. I could die young if I had a wife like her."
"You'd be lucky to be married to Anita, look how beautiful she is. All men will envy you" said Zian.
"She was indeed very beautiful, but all of that was covered by her fierceness. You're not in love with her either, boss. She was the only woman close to you."
"For me, Anita is my sister. And forever will be like that."
Dimas kept complaining to his boss about what Anita did to him in the apartment, so Zian laughed out loud. Dimas' plain behavior is very contrary to Anita who always looks fierce.
