The sanctity of Love

118

"Some companies canceled cooperation because of the news circulating in the media." Tian threw the file on Erfan's desk. "When you act, get the queen done right away."

Erfan scooped up a riled face, his head completely dizzy now. Early in the morning there was bad news like this.

"We can be crushed in one jolt, if you still delay the time," press Tian.

"So, the Foundation report has been sent back to the donors and the public?" Erfan asked ignoring Tian who was rambling at length.

"It is, but it is of no use. They just think of it as manipulation."

Erfan sighed heavily, "do a re-audit as soon as possible, invite media representatives and donors to be there." He said, then looked at Tian, "gue will finish."

"Ready sir," after saying that word Galih left his boss' room.

Erfan hurricanes, he looks selfish because it mixes work and personal affairs. Foundation outside of his work. And this time he's already implicated the company in destruction.

"Now hand over all the evidence to the authorities. We'll finish it together." Tian made a sound, he did not completely blame Erfan. Her best friend looks tired lately. Plus he was following along adding to the man's burden.

Hira's husband just nodded his head, he had already done what Tian said before being told.

"You're that if there's a problem you never want to tell a story." The heavy voice belonged to a middle-aged man standing in front of the door. "If you don't hear from someone else's mouth you won't know."

Erfan scratched his nape that was not itchy while grimacing, then experienced Hardiyata.

"Om healthy?" Sapa Tian, also went to greet his friend's father.

"Alhamdulillah be healthy, you're more handsome Tian." Hardiyata patted the young man's shoulder.

"Beauty again when you're surrounded by Pah." Tian opened his eyes at his friend. Really, he as a handsome man feels shamed. "Why? Don't take it?" Erfan chuckled at the response of the man named Tian.

"Fall self-esteem." Tian spoke with great anticipation. Hardiyata chuckled a little.

"Where's Papa's son-in-law?"

"In Pah, I call you first." Erfan went into the room. His wife was still cool in front of the laptop, but not watching a Korean drama.

"Honey, there's Papa outside." Hira turned towards her husband who was walking closer.

"Mama's mom too?"

"alone." Erfan replied then remembered the purpose of the father coming to visit. His wife cannot know about the problem. "You'll finish first, let papa I tell you to come in. Talk to Tian again and his father." The man quibbled that Hira was not aware of his company's problems.

"Yes, come out again" expelled Hira.

"All right, Madam." Erfan grinned and stole a kiss on the cheek. The man fled before his wife screamed in annoyance.

"Huf." Erfan let out a long sigh, again sitting on the sofa.

"Say she'll call your wife." Hardiyata did not see her daughter-in-law coming out of the room.

"What is the purpose of this?" Erfan gave a probing look at the papa. Hardiyata sighed heavily, only to understand his son's thoughts.

"What kind of an altar is this?" Panicking Crispy from across the phone, their faces appeared on television screens this morning. It has been revealed who is behind the slander that attacked Hira and Erfan.

Why also Reny must follow the plan of Salwa change that ends like this. His son would not play games if he acted. The proof is that her husband and children did not get forgiveness from Erfan.

"You don't know Erfan, Salwa. He even dared to kill to protect his wife." The Reny Speech Salwa allows. He was also afraid of confronting Erfan. But he won't stop before Erfan's wife is really dying.

"Mommy's staying pay the lawyer." Salwa said calmly and then turned off the unilateral phone connection. The girl smirked cunningly like she was planning something. Salwa is not the name if you have to give up before winning, he murmured.

Ressa still felt awkward when she was alone with Tian. Today his boss is accompanying his wife to check the contents and all stop by the foundation. With a heavy heart he found a client in a hotel with a man walking to his right.

"You want lunch?" Tawar Tian's.

"Can."

Tian was at a loss himself to start a conversation on how. If in front of him now Ressa becomes quiet, not much chattering like before.

"Lo's still mad at me, Sa?"

"Huh?" Ressa who was busy staring at the street turned to Tian who was driving a car. "What was that, sorry I wasn't focused."

"Lo always doesn't focus on me anymore." Tian let out a long sigh, Ressa frowned confusedly. The boss was doing what, he thought. The man parked the car in a restaurant without much talk.

"Order what you want." Said Tian taking a sitting position opposite to Ressa. The girl nodded her head flipping through the menu book.

"Tian!" Call a woman who has a charming face, if Ressa looks like a model. "I miss you." He hugged Tian.

"I miss you too," Tian rubbed the woman's head and kissed her on the forehead. "Eat already?" Ask.

"Well, what are you doing here?"

"After seeing the client" he replied gently.

Ressa turned her head lazily at the two people who were making out in front of her. He called the waitress, then focused on the phone in front of him after he finished ordering a meal. Why must it also be painful to see Tian with another woman. He was nobody that man.

"You go on, I have an appointment." He said as he rubbed Tian's hair and then dyed briefly on the cheek.

Ressa feels really hot in this hot weather. But keep trying to be ordinary to look cold.

Tian wanted to see Ressa's reaction but it turned out that the girl was indifferent. They eat in silence. This person in front of him was not a girl who usually acted bar-bar.

"Gue's weird seeing you quiet a lot Sa."

Ressa simply cleared her throat in response to Tian's remark. The man placed the spoon and fork in his hand, staring fixedly at the girl in front of him.

"Gue was wrong, I'm sorry. Don't know how else you can act normal again with me." Ressa glanced at a glance then continued eating.

"Ressa!"

"Yes, Tian. I'm sorry about that." Ressa replied, tired of listening to the man's chatter.

"Smile first, don't be jutek anymore." Pinta Tian, Ressa pulled both corners of her lips forcefully. If it is not obeyed, people will not stop disturbing the calmness of their eating.

"Well, it's dong, so it's more beautiful." Praise him while scrambling the top of Ressa's head. The girl was fixated for a moment, her heart warmed. There was a thump that he did not understand what the cause was. But Ressa immediately regained her consciousness. He must not be tempted by Tian.
