Aunt Rima cuddled shut the door of her house, her face pias leaned against the door, she looked at her husband who was not less pias, even more pale. Both of them could feel the roar of their hearts. The roar of fear that runs through the veins.
"Mom, are we staying at Litha's house, there will be security guards, safer," said Uncle Tino rubbed his forehead and sweaty neck.
"Yes, just don't. If we stay at Litha's house, then the origin of the three daughters of Sister-in-law will be discovered and it is very dangerous. I won't be able to protect them anymore." Aunt Rima tried to calm her fast-paced heart rhythm.
"Then what should we do? They're everywhere without us knowing, and we don't know who sent them. They will also know the three daughters of Brother-in-law."
"No, that can't happen. Sister-in-law's last message, no one should know who they really are, especially Brother-in-law's children. It's the only way to protect Tisha, Litha and Vania."
"It's good that Vania is in the dormitory and Litha is in the Capital, Mom. Duh, my heart feels like it's going to get dislodged." Uncle Tino rubbed his chest while closing his eyes.
"I'm also Sir." Auntie Rima did the same with her husband.

Litha seriously read sheet by sheet the bidding file that she had received this afternoon.
"So serious! I'm the only one the President doesn't get to know," said Ray.
Today he came home quickly, leaving some meetings that should be done at night to be switched to tomorrow only for the sake of his wife, to give a necklace that he had remembered earlier today.
"Hmmpphhhhm ..... I'm afraid to embarrass you, Mom. Not to mention if the cooperation fails," said Litha reasoned.
"Maybe they are just curious about Mrs Pradipta because our wedding photos are scattered in the media blur, hehehehe ... If I fail, I don't care. Pradipta Corp. will not go bankrupt just because it does not cooperate with AutoTech Inc. So don't be a burden."
Ray rubbed Litha's fingers, calming her down until Litha commented a smile.
"Well, don't bend his face too seriously. I want to give you this."
Ray thrusts a dark blue square box. Litha frowned, as if she had seen the box. As soon as Ray opened it, Litha's memory rang out, it was the necklace she had seen in her husband's desk drawer when asked to please look for the file. Litha's heart was broken, to her knowledge the necklace was for Ramona.
"Didn't you like it? Less fancy?" ray asked puzzled at Litha's unexpected reaction.
"I like it a lot. The model is simple, according to my taste but ...."
"I didn't go with Firza to give you a necklace, but I bought this necklace a long time ago and I just remembered it this afternoon. If you don't like it, will I replace it with a better one, or will you choose for yourself? Or-"
"Don't like it because the necklace is actually for Ramona, right?"
Ray gawks, "What's my Litha talking about?"
"Yes, I saw it in Mas's desk drawer when I was looking for a file I had sent to the office. I kept it a long time ago, right? Because now Mas's not with Ramona so the necklace will be given to me." Litha pointed at him in an annoyed tone.
Ray chuckled, knowing that his wife was jealous. He took his phone and pressed Abyan's number, accidentally touching the loudspeaker button so that his wife also heard.
Yeah Ray, what's up?
Yan, do you remember when I bought myself a diamond necklace?
Sure oes. It was the first time you bought and picked it outright. Why why anyway?
Litha's face had been bent unkempt, her lips were dimmed by a piece. Ray held back his smile, very adorable.
Do you remember what I bought it for?
As I recall just because you liked to see her eyes being rounded, you thought that by giving her she would be shocked and round her eyes.
Litha's heart rumbled, the more they heard the conversation her heart grew hot. He didn't want to hear it, but he couldn't stop them from talking about it either. He stood up and was about to enter the room, going to bed soon, his mind troubled. But Ray held back his steps by clasping his hand.
You know, I haven't given him that time because of your advice, so that I don't blow his heart if he's going to fall. But now I'm going to put his heart up high because I'm going to catch him.
What the hell are you, Ray!
Because of your advice I kept it and he found out.
Yes, then just give it to your wife, is that necklace you bought for her. Very difficult indeed. Don't bother me anymore. I'm going to bed!
Haha .....
Tiiittt .....
Abyan hangs up the phone with annoyance because Ray's talk circled on the last incident.
"Yan, you are my best friend and assistant. It's not in vain that you always follow me. You can be a witness when I need you" Ray said, putting his phone on the desk.
Yes, then just give it to your wife, is that necklace you bought for her.
The sentence surrounded Litha's silent head.
"So that necklace is for me? Didn't Ray just consider me his contract wife? But why did he buy me such expensive jewelry? Even if he used to buy it for Ramona, why did Assistant Yan say it was the first time he bought it and chose it directly? Aaaahhhh, Ray, you're such a bitch!"
"Why? Am I a bitch, hemm?" Ray took the necklace from his box and stood up, about to put it on his wife's neck.
Unknowingly Litha turned her lips even more, but she also lifted her hair with her right hand so that Ray could freely pair the diamond necklace.
"Why?- Why did you buy it?" litha asked as the diamond necklace was perfectly attached to her neck.
The necklace is simple but still elegant, only a chain with a diamond hanging, not too striking if used in everyday life. It fits Litha's taste.
"Somehow, I just wanted to buy you a replacement because you never used the black card I gave you or because I actually fell in love with you without me noticing."
Litha turned her body. Now their positions face off. She loosened her head and smiled warmly, touching her husband's face, from her eyes, eyebrows, nose, cheeks to her lips carefully. His heart was calm, no longer rumbling, his eyes were also twinkling like there were thousands of stars there.
"thank you. I like it."
Litha's eyes had pacified, her husband's lips frowned and she hugged tightly and buried her face in the chest of the field belonging to her husband.
"Why this time I'm so happy to give something to people. Usually I don't care, but this-Ah, I feel like I want to always give and keep giving something to her."
Ray kissed his wife's head with a lot of feeling. He fell in love with his wife every day.

Morning in the Room of the President of Pradipta Corp. Rayyendra was very excited to welcome file after file from Sasha, read with a high level of focus, review proposals and reports, signed the file with confidence that he had never felt before.
"Master, did you last night get a mood booster double? The way Master works this time amazes me."
Ray recounted the incident last night until the reason he called her the other night.
"His eyes are not round, Yan, but sparkling, sparkling with novelty. I like her so much, I want her eyes to keep shining like that. Should I buy more expensive jewelry? That necklace is cheaper than Mona used to take."
"Bahlah, the bucini kumat. All the jewels in your shop, you bring them and give them to her. It's weird!" abyan in his heart.
"It's not a matter of price, sir, but the behavior of the Master who buys and chooses it directly that makes the eyes of the Madam sparkle, even if the necklace is only an imitation, the eyes of the Madam still sparkle." Abyan patiently served his Master.
"So what else do you think will make it sparkle?"
"The end of the week tomorrow there is the Color Run Festival organized by the Association of Culinary Entrepreneurs in the Capital. Pradipta Corp. becomes the main sponsor, and Tuan will be scheduled to participate in the running. All the culinary stands are there. Madam really likes to eat, surely Madam would be very happy if you invite her."
"Ah, right! You're very smart, Yan. She loved eating during pregnancy. Then make the show as lively as possible," said Ray enthusiastically.
"Hey, Young Master. We're just the main sponsor not the organizer, hhhhhhhh ... "
"Okay, sir, I'll make sure everything goes well."
Abyan seemed to be a hypocrite in the office, what his mouth was very neat but his heart always cursed his employer. Fortunately, Litha had Ray as her Young Master only in the office, so he was much freer now than before Rayyendra had always been Young Master everywhere, only one place he became friends with, VVIP Amore Club&Party Room.
"For a long time you did not go to Amore Club & Party, usually you just check whether the club is going well or not." Abyan deliberately questioned him while doing his usual job, sorting through the files he had checked before he handed them to Rayyendra by standing in front of his boss' desk.
"What am I doing there? I already have Litha. The club was just to entertain singles like you, Yan. The club is for me now just a form of business. As long as Bona's report is good, I don't need to intervene, right? I trust him completely."
"Damn you Ray, you think I'm single because who the hell?!? Because you know! Even after you have Litha, it turns out that I am still bothered to take care of you."
"You don't have to take care of me anymore, Yan, sometimes I just need your help. Find a boyfriend or girlfriend or girlfriend so you're not alone. At least reduce Litha's questions to me every time you go home from work who always asks you."
"Ask me?"
Abyan gasped, his heart rumbling. Ray's tone was flat when he said it, but somehow he could feel the attention and sincerity there, things that he had not gotten from Ray since becoming President.
"Yes, every time he comes home from the office he asks you how are you? Have you had dinner or not? Whether I trouble you or not, heh, when it is your duty, you are paid to bother me. But he said if I trouble you too much, you won't have time for yourself including women's affairs and love. He thinks I'm taking up too much of your time on business that I should be able to do on my own. Look, he cares about you a lot, Yan."
"You're not jealous of your wife thinking of a man other than yourself?" lure Abyan, he forgets his assistant mode, he talks casually with Ray, but Ray also lets him.
"I was very jealous at first, even wanting to replace you as an Assistant. But somehow he can always enter my reasoning that puts forward logic. She was able to open my eyes and my heart to see you as not just a friend and assistant, Litha made me realize that you are more than that. You're my brother, Yan. And he always calls you Uncle when he talks to our baby who's still in his belly."
Abyan was at a loss for words. As long as he knew Rayyendra and someone outside his own family, it was at this moment that he was completely moved, feeling sincerely loved. It felt like he wanted to cry and hug the man he often cursed in his heart, but clearly it was impossible.
Ray got up from his seat, he approached Abyan and hugged her.
"Thank you, Yan. I don't know if I've ever thanked you before. But I want to say it, thank you for everything you've done for me and thank you for never betraying me. I'm so lucky to have you, bro."
Ray took off his embrace after patting Abyan's shoulder twice. Oh, how heartfelt Abyan heard it from a Rayyendra known as an arrogant man. His heart trembled violently with the word 'Bro' spoken, not as usual just a greeting, he could feel 'Bro' this time had meaning.
Abyan was no longer able to hide the water point in the corner of his already glazed eyes. He immediately pressed his eyes to wipe away the water point with his thumb and forefinger.
"It is fitting that Uncle lays allegiance to his life for you, Madam. You are amazing! You can soften and soften the hardness of Rayyendra's heart. Hardness of the heart formed by feeling left behind and not loved since childhood. How he doesn't fall in love with you every day. May you both be happy forever." Abyan said inwardly.
"Already! This is the last time you admire my wife. Once again you do that I'm really going to change Assistant" Ray said with a murmur that blew Abyan's laughter away.
"Yan, call me Mr. in the office if in front of other employees. But if there are only two of us even in the office, just say my name as usual" he continued.
"It looks like Litha can make you a full human being. For the last time I admired your wife. He's really great, Bro."
A sense of haru, proud and happy in the heart of Ray will his wife. Yes, his wife, very amazing and that's what she admits.
