The Retaliation of the CEO's Wife and the Idol
CHAPTER 27: SLEEP CALL
The two officers in brown uniforms explained the intent of their presence to arrest Evan for alleged domestic violence he had committed against his wife. As if he had fallen down the stairs, the man never thought that his wife would act so quickly on him. Evan follows the two officers, leaving Aluna still dumbfounded behind a wall of obstructions in shock at the news of the arrest. His mind was also chaotic because he never thought that the figure of Ega who was always patient turned out to be able to change that quickly. The young girl immediately felt her cheek again considering the wrath of Ega who slapped her in droves the other day. His body trembled, the girl's guts began to shrink. His efforts to drop the image of the hairdresser by spreading the photo, apparently did not help him much. The woman she had taken her husband was not the weak woman she had thought she was.
“What should I do now?” muttered the girl with a trembling voice.

Iko walked into her apartment unit with her quiet steps. The time marker on the circular watch in his left hand shows twelve o'clock in the early hours of ten minutes. The man deliberately went home late to avoid the crowd of journalists who had been waiting for him since the morning in front of the apartment area he lived in. Sepi, the apartment is like a magnificent building uninhabited at night. Slowly the man laid his body on the sofa. His reticence recalled as he gently kissed the corner of Ega's injured lip. Like releasing all the flavors that had been held back, the man was clearly able to feel that Ega actually had the same taste vibration, but somehow the taste was so difficult to express. Iko grabbed her smartphone intending to contact the woman, but she did not. He does not want to be considered to take advantage of the situation that is facing the woman he loves today. Not even the man put down his smartphone, instantly there was one incoming call that was none other than the management of the agency that overshadowed him. The man clucked lazily and let his phone ring. He really did not want to give any response to the news that was circulating about him, but the noise of the call that was repeated finally forced the man to lift it.
“Halo, Sir.” Just one greeting came out of Iko's mouth, the man who contacted her from across the street raved about all his anger because he could not contact the idol all day.
“I can not stand the onslaught of the media crew. Tomorrow morning, do a press conference and make a statement to stop all this noise. Tell me that there is nothing between you and Ega, do you understand?” said the agency manager in a slightly taut tone. Iko lazily asserted that the sickening talk was soon resolved. After ending the call, Iko was unable to resist contacting Ega. Deftly the man looked for the name of his best friend, then immediately contacted him. The phone line was buzzing for a while before finally the voice of a woman from across could be heard sweetly stroking Iko's soft ears.
“What time is this?” ask the girl briefly. The phone line was silent for a moment, only the sound of soft breathing could be heard.
“I just want to make sure whether you can sleep well or not,” said the man.
“I've slept until your call woke me up,” replied the request was short. From her clear voice it was clear that the woman was still awake. Iko then smiled her thin smile to find the friend who was very familiar was trying to lie.
“I'll do a press conference tomorrow to settle all the noise that's going around. I'm sorry that you also get hate blasphemy from the community for the chaos that occurred,” Iko told the woman. Silence, there was no sound between the two.
“Rest so that tomorrow you can prepare everything well,” said the woman broke the silence.
“Is it so hard for you to close your eyes tonight?” the male chimpanzee then. The voice of the woman across did not answer, only her breath was heard softly.
“Close your eyes,” Iko's love for the woman she's still connected to, and Iko starts chanting the verse of the song she loves so much.
Even if in the end destiny wasn't on my side
Remember me as your best memory
And when fate brings us together
...***...
Iko's voice so gently caressed Ega's ears that it was immersing itself in a thick blanket. Without realizing it, tears came back to his eyes, regretting the late fate of bringing the two friends back after being separated for so long. Ega exhales slowly trying to stay fine over everything that befalls him.
“Sleep, Ko. I can't if I have to hear you sing until morning,” joked Ega so as not to get too late carried away in the atmosphere of a quiet night. The man on the other side sounded a little chuckle.
“Great dreams, Ga. Promise me you won't be sad anymore,” said the man later.
“Hm” concluded Ega briefly, “Close the phone first,” the door later.
“No, you have to close it first,” timpal Iko from across. The two then fell silent again, waiting for each other who would close the channel first.
“Satu” count Ega.
“Two,” connect Iko from across.
“Three,” said the two men simultaneously, but the sound of both breaths is still clear. None of the two hung up the phone first. The two then again chuckled little to find the habits they used to do during High School again repeated.
“Alright I will close it first,” concluded Ega later. “May tomorrow go well,”.
The man smiled again as soon as his phone connection was cut off.
“Beautiful dream, Ga,” whispered on that stalled phone line.
