Ramona is in a state of displeasure to hear Ray's explanation about her marriage to Litha which will take place three days later. He went on a rampage, smashing all his belongings and screaming hysterically in his office room, at Prad's Fashion & Style Building, a subsidiary of Pradipta Corp., which manages fashion and metropolitan lifestyle businesses. Fortunately the day had entered the office hours, so not many employees heard the Miss Director was crazy. Abyan guards at the entrance in case something unwanted happens.
"Mona, I'm sorry, I had to marry her."
"Rayyyy... You have the heart!!! What do you think of me, huh!!!"
Mona's hair and makeup were already messy mixed with tears. She was so hurt that the lover she loved was married to the thief of her dress.
"I don't want to break up with you. Not going!!!"
"I understand how you feel, Mona. Please understand my position. This is Grandma's last request."
"You said it was only temporary, right? You're going to divorce her, right? Then let me remain your lover, Ray. I beg you."
Mona hugs Ray's feet, pleading with her very.
"can't. I can't make a bad image of Pradipta, Mona. It'll affect the company."
"You only think about your company, you never think about how I feel. You're so selfish, Ray. I don't want to part with you."
"Hmmppffffffhhh...."
Rayyendra let out a long sigh, he did not know why he could get caught in the possessiveness of a Ramona.
"If you want to part with me. Good. We'll be apart forever."
Mona took the broken flower vase that fell on the floor and was ready to slice into her veins.
Abyan was stunned, he already wanted to take a step, but Ray was arrested.
"So what do you want?" ask Ray.
"I'll remain your lover even if you're married. I'll wait until you get divorced with that cunning fox. Then we get married."
"Mon- "
"If you don't want to, I'd rather die. I'm also gonna get kicked by my dad for making him lose face in front of a lot of people."
Mona is still in a position to slice her pulse, waiting for Ray to answer. Abyan who saw it was very furious, he wanted to directly hit Ramona, but his master even forbid it.
"You're really making me dizzy, Ramona! If you weren't the first woman in my life, I wouldn't have let you kill yourself, but I would have killed you myself. Whatever you want, I don't care!"
Ray steps out of the room, but Ramona quickly restrains Ray's long legs until he falls down.
"I beg Ray, don't leave me. I beg you," Her voice mixed with sobs.
"I told you, I just need some time until all my business is in order, and then I'll get a divorce with him. I don't want to risk having an affair with another woman in marriage."
"Ray, I can't live without you. I beg you."
"If you don't want to accept it. That's none of my business."
"Huhuhuhuhuhu .... Raaaaaayyyy ... "Ramona's screams roared as her hand slipped from Rayyendra's leg leaving her.
As Mona spirals out of control, she takes the rest of the survivors to destroy, evoking her mounting anger. He hates, hates Litha so much, before he stole her dress now her lover. He could not let the girl steal his life, Rayyendra, which had become his life. He will take back what he should have.
Ray rubbed his face rough with his palms, leaned against the car door in the parking area of his apartment and picked up a cigarette and sucked it deeply. He was blowing smoke into the night air.
"Yan, make sure Mona doesn't mess up my marriage," she said.
"Good, Sir. But I'm sorry, can I speak as your friend."
Ray nodded.
"Do you still want to be in touch with Mona as a lover? Frankly you have a toxic relationship, that's not good, Ray. Especially if taken to a further level," said Abyan who disabled his assistant mode.
"I also don't know, why is he so different from what I first knew in America? I'm interested in Ramona not because she's the first woman I'm close to, Yan. At that time, he was so sweet, we could communicate well even we enjoyed the time together with fun. It is very different from Ramona. After we became lovers, he was so temperamental and possessive, that Sasha was jealous of ckckckckck."
🙋 Sasha is the president's secretary in the headquarters building who looks nothing like a woman in general. He is often mistaken for a man because of his tomboyish nature. 🙋
"I agree with you, Ray. Ramona is now different from the Ramona we used to know in America. She's so scared of losing you."
Ray exhaled his cigarette smoke again in the air. His memory takes him back to a few days ago,
🍀 flashback on 🍀
"Master, sorry, I didn't mean to insult you by saying it earlier in front of everyone. Mother kept forcing me, when it was just an excuse I made up for you to give her blessing."
Litha explains to Ray what happened in the living room just now, but Ray just quietly glances at the face without makeup of his future wife and turns his face into the house, mom was there talking to Abyan.
Litha is so bad at having to drag Ray into her deceitful love game.
"But I'm glad for your reasons" said Ray smiling.
"A-what? He's not angry? Even happy and smiling? Are my ears and eyes wrong?"
"One more thing, if you play the show do not gig, the time to call the person you love with the name Master." Ray starts teasing Litha.
"Ma--What does that mean? So what's to call?"
"Stupid! What are you never dating? Of course, dear."
Ray flicked Litha's forehead because of her innocence. Litha who heard him was astonished, for a lifetime she had never called that name to anyone else.
"Aaugwww it hurts, sir." Litha rubbed her forehead.
"More Sir?"
"Idiiiiihhhh. Also why I need to touch my head. Your finger is big, it must hurt!"
"Ohhh, don't want to be spiked, so want to be kissed, here!"
"Hissss."
Ray drew closer to Litha wanting to kiss her forehead, but Litha quickly dodged his body like an eel that was reluctant to be caught.
Their behavior is noticed from inside the living room, especially Mother. Rayyendra was the first man Litha brought home to face her mother despite being forced to.
"Son Abyan, although Nak Abyan is Mr. Rayyendra's right-hand man, please take care of Litha. He's a good boy, I can't protect him. At least Nak Abyan treated her as a woman," said the mother looking down at her daughter who avoided catching Rayyendra on the porch.
"What does Mom mean? Why call Ray with Mister? Did you know this marriage was the will of the Grand Lady?"
So many questions arose in Abyan's heart with Mother's words just now, but she could only answer them, "Mother take it easy. Litha I'll take it as my own sister."
"For dah! Why do I have to accept the mandate to take care of those two humans? Big Madam and Litha's mom think I'm babby sitter what?"
Abyan just smiled as he rubbed his own head.
🍀 flashback off 🍀
Seeing the helplessness of Litha's mother in a wheelchair with a haggard face created guilt in Rayyendra's heart. Guilty of toying with his daughter's marriage on contract. He found something he had never seen in his life in the flash of his future mother-in-law's eyes.
"Well, how does it feel to have a mother?"
Abyan was stunned to hear Ray's question that he never expected at all.
"I can't explain literally or with words because it's a taste that's in the heart, Ray. But more or less like tranquility, comfort, security, peace and good things blend into one if they are nearby. Why are you suddenly asking?"
"Because Litha begged me not to tell her about this contract, so we were like a couple in love in front of her mother. I wonder what made him so begging? After looking at Mom, I couldn't explain something that was in Litha's mother's eyes, I could only feel it. Something I never felt before, Yan, until I was overcome with my own guilt by this marriage."
Rayyendra explained at length with what he felt. Abyan understood his point. Life without the affection of a mother makes some of her deepest soul empty, even though the affection of the Great Lady gushed out immeasurably.
"You feel guilty for Litha or her mother?"
"Hahah .. surely his mother, stupid! His son often irritated me, why do I feel guilty to him, even now I like to tease him."
"Be careful Ray, you're the one who teases him, you're the one who's entangled with him. Oh yeah, Bona did you tell me about your wedding?"
"Mahaha .... The bona? Ah, that guy's badmood, why? I was calling him to tell him and prepare to come to City A, but there, dizzy I made. You're the only one who told him you're preparing for his departure."
"What's wrong with her?"
"He broke up with his future wife, but Aunt Rista and Milla Milly were very fond of his future wife. He is dizzy from being required to re-establish relations with the girl, even Bona cannot go home before bringing the girl to his house, hahahahahahaha ...."
"Huh?!? But that's a pseudo-wife? How he got back into a relationship. Ah ... You two are so confusing to me. Is your life a charade?"
"Hahahahahaha .. That's why I gave up Bona's business to come to my marriage to you. Be patient with her confessions about the future wife."
Ray chuckled, threw away the cigarette butts, then climbed into his apartment. Today he is very tired of facing Ramona and Bona. He wanted to rest, at a glance his memories took the innocent face of Litha without makeup in a surprised expression. Ray chuckled as he muttered, "I'll keep you surprised as long as you're my wife, heheh ..."
Abyan, who was preparing to go home after dropping off his master, got a phone call, he saw a cell phone screen.
"Ck."
The tall, strapping man clucked resentfully throwing the phone in the passenger seat next to him, there was the name Bona there who continued to call tirelessly.
