David seemed to turn his back when he heard the name Hendra Ariansyah called. How not? He knows exactly who that person is. Yes, Hendra Ariansyah was a thirty-year-old man who occupied the chair of financial manager in the office led by him.
In fact, Denis also knew Hendra, although not so close. He knew who the officials in the company were. And one of them is Hendra, which is the main highlight of a financial division. Wh why? Because Hendra is in control of the company's finances, so it could be at any time he cheated. And it's already happened. In fact, it's been investigated. It's just that David and Denis did it secretly.
I don't know what the real motive of the man is, so it continues to interfere with David's life. First, the financial problems in the company. Second, it disturbs the tranquility of his household. Indeed David was infuriated by a creature that was none other than his own subordinates. I don't know what Hendra wants from him.
Even if Hendra has a grudge, but a grudge for what? So far, David feels the relationship with him is fine. In fact, there was never any difference between them, so why?
"Hendra's? You know, Dave?" richard asked curiously, seeing David's expression at the time.
"Yes, sure," David briefly without turning his head. He still thought hard about Hendra's goal of doing that, even though he could not answer it himself.
"Who, Dave?" ask Rendy to know.
"Financial managers in my office" David replied, turning to Rendy and Richard.
"Do I need to take action right now, sir?" ask Denis.
"No! We stick to the original plan. Let this be evidence to strengthen his malice" David refused.
"But it's a danger, if this is left too long, sir," Denis said.
"There will be no danger, if we can be more careful" replied David confidently. "You just need to investigate who Hendra really is, and what purpose he's doing this to me" he added.
"He's got a problem in the office, too, Dave?" ask Richard who can immediately catch the conversation between David and Denis.
"Yes, I think he's smuggling funds" replied David. "Gue's handling the case again" he added.
***
Ten minutes after the return of Richard, Rendy and Denis, David immediately approached his wife still in the guest room. It seems Aretha has fallen asleep. David drew his smile from a distance and walked to the bed, where his wife was lying there.
David noticed a shady face that looked so peaceful, unlike before. Long enough David stood there, without shifting his focus from that face. Although his eyes look a little puffy, due to crying for too long. However, it still does not reduce the level of beauty of the woman.
Instantly the gaze turned into a sad look, when he realized that the woman he was staring at was injured. There was regret in his heart. Even though it was not her wish, still she felt guilty for giving Freya the opportunity to talk to her. He was even more sorry, when he did not realize that someone was stalking him to Bandung.
If he hadn't given Freya a chance, maybe the stalker wouldn't have known who Freya was. And maybe even photo engineering won't happen. He believes Hendra did that, because he had the opportunity to do so, based on information provided by his man, or maybe Hendra himself who stalked him to Bandung? I don't know.
David's focus turned to the nightstand. Saw the old dinner plate. He smiled when he found the plate empty. David immediately grabbed the tray with the empty plate and glass, and took it to the kitchen.
Within minutes, David had returned to his room, climbed into the bed, and lay down beside Aretha, without bothering to sleep. He pulled out a blanket, then wrapped his wife's body to the chest.
"Mas .. don't stay with me" said Aretha who suddenly made David gasp, then turned to him.
He looked at that face. Aretha's eyes were still closed. Apparently, he was a little delirious.
"I'm here, baby," said David staring at the visibly anxious face.
***
The next morning, Aretha felt a heavy weight on her body, as she was about to wake up from her sleep. He opened his eyes, then found a burly hand that was coiled in his stomach. I can tell whose hand it is. He knows very well the owner.
Aretha sighed, then changed the position of her body to be stretched slowly, because at that time she was asleep to her back to the owner of the burly hand.
Aretha turned towards David who still seemed to close her eyes. He looked at the man for a while, without letting go of the hand that was still coiled around his body, as if he did not want to escape.
A long time ago Aretha looked at him. The thing he liked the most, after marrying the man next to him. For some reason, his face looked so handsome, while he was asleep. A view he doesn't want to miss every day.
"Have you looked at him enough?"
Suddenly David's voice made Aretha jump. Apparently he wasn't really sleeping. Ah, too ashamed of Aretha, when she should still be angry with her husband, because last night the man did not give the evidence he promised.
Aretha did not respond. He intends to get out of that place immediately. However, David held him back, to the point of making him grunt violently, feeling annoyed.
"Where are you going?" ask David.
"Please! I'm going to the bathroom" Aretha said without looking.
"Let's go ahead, I still want to be like this" David said. However, Aretha kept trying to let go of her hand. Like Aretha, David also tried hard not to let go of his hand.
"There are things that we must finish" said David, immediately making Aretha silent, no longer rebellious.
Seeing Aretha who was no longer rebellious, David smiled a little, then began to explain the truth that the photo that triggered their quarrel was a mere fabrication. Aretha simply kept silent, not responding. However, David continued to try to convince his wife that he had never done such a cruel deed with any woman.
"You still don't believe it?" ask David. But Aretha did not answer. Either the explanation has convinced the wife or vice versa.
"You can ask Denis if you don't believe it," David added as if giving up could not do anything else. Meanwhile, he had already explained the truth, as Denis had said.
Aretha let out a short breath. "I believe, Mom," he said.
Yes, of course she saw the earnestness of her husband. After all, David's eyes did not show that there were any signs of lying.
"Really?" david asked as if he could not believe it.
Aretha simply smiled as she nodded her head repeatedly, in response.
