Now Gian hates going to any event alone. He could not hold Regina's hand and had no chatting friends. I used to attend any event by myself.
Regina is going to rest today. These few days he was often nauseous and vomiting. Probably the effect of her young pregnancy. Gian had to go alone, because Regina was not healthy.
Mr. Sunaryo welcomed the friendly Gian who had just walked into the building. Today is the engagement of Mr. Sunaryo's second child. A lavish dinner she organized to celebrate.
"Kok Regina didn't come, Gi?" Melinda asked as she welcomed Gian and other guests with her husband.
"At least healthy. Nausea from the morning." Answer Gian relaxed .
"Oh, are you pregnant again? Don't expect to be a father soon, even though you were a child."
"Yes, I can't believe it's anyone's child now." Connect Mr. Sunaryo. Then they laugh.
"If the aunt lives the burden of Alika doang who is not married. Still busy with his new business."
"Alika open a business? Doesn't he want to be a chef?"
"Open that food company, what aunty does not understand, will he learn with your wife."
"Huh? Meanin?"
"Who? Doesn't Regina tell me she's mentoring Alika about her business now?"
Gian was confused by Melinda's words. Regina to be Alika's business mentor? Since when was he interested in running a business? Maybe recently Regina was happy to listen to him analyze business planning and discuss about the business world. He even read books in Gian's study. But it was never thought that Regina would be a mentor to Alika who was completely layman about this.
"When did Regina teach you about business, Lik?" Gian asked deliberately to chat Alika who was sitting alone.
"Emmm.. Gian knows where Brother Rere taught me?" Alika asked carefully. Regina once said she didn't want anyone to know about all her help to Alika. But Gian now knows everything.
"Your mother said. What did he teach you?"
"Sister Rere is actually a few months old
give me the idea to start up F&B, the concept of cloud kitchen. Suitable for surviving pandemic conditions. There is only a kitchen and serves messages between them. There are 2 branches that actually have a restaurant concept, can live cooking. Anyway I was taught to build a plan about this business brick to brick, how to marketing, and others. That's why I can persuade papih to modalin. You see, the design and business planning of Kak Rere is very cool." Alika said excitedly.
"I was once horrified, start up you again rose. Even beyond competitors who first use this concept. Congratulations, Lik." Gian said that Alika responded shyly.
Yes, Gian heard about temporary freeze one of his investment partners because he could not seize the market with the concept of cloud kitchen which Gian thought would be the main weapon of the start-up. In the months since Alika started her business, her start-up partner lost her business power. Even Om Bayu was very disappointed with this start up. The start-up belongs to Vanya.
Something has been bothering him since. Regina is very close to Alika, even willing to be her mentor in building a business, the same Vanya business concept is applied to Alika's start-up, start-up Vanya who lost its market after Alika entered the business world. It's not just a coincidence, is it?
...****************...
Gian got home. His mind is mixed. Confused, amazed, and honestly he himself felt afraid. If it is true that Regina is behind Alika's business that makes Vanya lose money, then his wife is really a very scary person. Quietly plotting all for the sake of getting rid of Vanya. Gian does not seem to know his wife.
All this time Regina who he knew was a woman who was very impulsive, feeling, and always needed his help. He never thought his wife was this smart.
"I can't cook and buy outside." Regina said preparing the food on the table.
"Where are you abis? Wasn't this morning nauseous?" Gian asked who saw Regina wearing makeup on her face.
"Meet Maya for a minute, ask her anterin meatballs that she said were delicious. I'm craving meatballs." Regina said stroking her stomach which still looks flat.
They sat at the dining table facing each other. Eat food in front of them quietly. Regina continued to watch Gian silently, staring at the man. After Alea sent him a secret that Gian never told him. His heart is so fucked. Why is Gian so long?
Regina receives all evidence of Alea's chat with Rafi, about her accident, about Gian's assault on Rafi, the coercion Gian had on her former fiancee in order for her to work off the island. Gian even hired people to force Rafi to leave as soon as possible to leave Jakarta. Another fact that made Regina stunned was, Rafi was not even allowed to return to her mother who was undergoing chemotherapy, until she died. If you know what Gian can do with his power, then her husband is really a scary person.
Gian and Regina were deep in their thoughts. Knowing each other that both of them are crazy people, is crazy because of this relationship. Gian does everything he can to keep Rafi away from Regina by sabotaging the man's life so he can't see his mother one last time. Regina does everything she can to keep Vanya away from Gian by sabotaging her business to the point of losing money, even threatening her to spread all her crimes to the public.
If not for being crazy about each other. Would such bad behavior feel like it would do?
Gian will be more careful with Regina. But he loved her so much that he could be that strong.
Regina will be careful with Gian. But he loved her so much that he could do anything for her.
Both know, the bad thing they have done to others is to keep this relationship going. They love each other without interruption. They'll get rid of all the barriers. Whatever it is shape. Anyhow.
"You're not gonna be my enemy, are you, Gi? I love you." Regina said, her hand reaching and holding Gian's hand.
Gian smile. They seemed to know each other, the bad things that had been hidden from each other to still be able to sit here together now.
"You can't get rid of me, can you, Re? I love you." Reply Gian.
The two looked at each other and laughed. They don't want to make each other enemies, because they love each other. So loving to be this crazy.
In the end they were just two cunning and deceptive people who fell in love with each other.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Who is more evil because it is too bucin with his partner? Gian or Regina? 🤔
