The Retaliation of the CEO's Wife and the Idol
CHAPTER 40: THE WORD REPEATED

Quite faint yet occasionally highlighted by the light of the lamp, a female figure standing a little far away, a line right before Iko stood up at this moment. The woman in the tan-colored haute couture dress was momentarily stunned upon hearing the verse Iko chanted, then put on a round of applause with everyone who filled the convention hall. The woman clearly pointed her two thumbs at Iko, then walked back to find her seat. Instantly Iko's eyes twinkled along with a sense of happiness that erupted within her chest. The man then sang the song with full of passion, but his eyes never separated from the figure of the woman who now takes a sitting position in the middle, but his eyes are never separated from the figure, a few lines behind the invitation line of famous musicians of the country.

After Iko finished the opening song, the man headed backstage to change his costume. He immediately grabbed his smartphone and sent a short message to the woman who had come for him tonight.

You're beautiful.

Before long the man got a reply in the form of a small smile icon. Yes, just a small smile without a word.

Wait a few more moments. There's something I'm gonna show you.

The man sent a message back, but he had not had time to get a reply, the voice of the nominee readers sounded jarring filled the convention building.

“This year's best song award went to ..” the nominee's speech paused for a while, letting the music rumble intersperse their voices before finally announcing who the winner was.

“Congratulations to Iko Bhagaskara with a song called Destiny Love!”

Instantly the cheers of the invited guests again rumbled to give appreciation for the phenomenal song that was able to deliver Iko at the peak of his successful career this year. All the invitations stood up, not least Ega who was quite surprised because the song was a song created by Iko since he was still sitting in High School, and he also completed the final part. The woman smiled proudly as she found Iko who was now wrapped in a black suit and walked to the podium to receive his umpteenth award trophy. The man smiled broadly. His gaze could not be separated from Ega who sat far in front of him.

“I would like to thank everyone involved in the arrangement of this song, and all the fans who have supported me. I've been creating this song since I was in High School, and you need to know that I didn't create it myself. The last part of this song is my best friend's creation. For that I present this trophy for him,” the man's speech was interrupted by the applause of the audience who re-echoed throughout the building.

“Thank you for bringing me here,” continued the man. Both of his eyes remained staring at Ega from afar. The woman smiled, whether the smile was visible or not from Iko's sight.

Some time passed until the event had reached its peak. Now the invitees one by one leave the convention building, some other artists are still busy taking pictures, not least Iko. The man intended to see Ega immediately, but several artists who came asked him to take pictures in turn. Ega who initially still waited patiently because he wanted to congratulate directly, seemed to be getting tired until finally intending to leave. Iko who from afar observed the movements of the woman, seemed to be trying to rush up to her.

“Don't go first, Ega,” he said in a heart that seemed to be heard by Ega from a distance so that the woman who was now a few meters in front of him turned her eyes to him. Iko hurried to step up but at once some of her colleagues from one agency rushed to take her pictures.

“Bro, congratulations! Let's take a picture first!” said one of the idols who then slightly pulled him back to take a picture. Facing such an unlikely condition, Iko finds Ega smiling from a distance. His red lips clearly said ‘I go home first,’ even though his voice was inaudible. Iko shook her head at him trying to hold Ega back to wait for a while longer, but the woman waved at him and walked away. Iko, who is still being held by several other artists who are still asking for photos together, is not able to do much.

...***...

The woman entered her room with a shackle. The award show he had just attended was enough to make his body tired, even though he just sat down without doing anything. Slowly she fell down her beautiful body still wrapped in a dress, her eyes staring at the empty sky. His thin smile was singled out because he was proud of the achievements achieved by his best friend. Just now he was about to close his eyes, his smartphone rang to make the woman move from the fall.

“When did you stop your habit of calling me at midnight like this, hm?” she said she knew who called her.

“I am in front of your house. Come out.”

“What?” immediately Ega was stunned and then walked up to the window of his room on the second floor facing directly to the front yard of his house. Iko was already standing there, wearing a black jacket, a mask and a blue hat. His right hand showed Ega a chalice as soon as he found the woman opening the window of his room.

“You're crazy? What are you doing here? go home!” Pinta Ega's. From below, the man looked at Ega who was still stuck behind the window of his room.

“Down. I just want to hand this to you.”

The woman shook her head inexhaustibly towards Iko who was reckless to come to her house at midnight like this. With a slight haste Ega rushed down and opened the door of his house, instantly hinting Iko not to shift from the place where he stood.

“Stop there, don't move.” Ega walked over while occasionally looking at some corner of his house, then pulled Iko to the point that he considered safe from the surveillance cameras.

“There are several surveillance cameras in this house that are directly connected to my papa. Do not let your presence be recorded by him,” explained Ega to the man in front of him who was amazed.

“You ..., you are very beautiful with this dress,” the man said softly. Instantly Ega was silent to the praise that was thrown from the mouth of his best friend.

“Tell me what exactly you came here for, Ko.”

The man then realized from his view that had been hypnotized by the beauty of Ega who was still wrapped in her gift dress.

“I ..., I just want to give this to you.”

“Forku?”

The man nodded while thrusting a cup in the form of a three-stacked beam notation.

“You are entitled to have it, Iko.”

“No. This time I'm handing it to you.”

The man insists on giving up the trophy he managed to get, while Ega insists on rejecting it.

“Iko, listen. That song is your song. I just finished the final part, and I didn't expect anything about it. I really can't accept this.”

“Then accept my love, Ega.”

The woman gasped. His heart was beating faster, as fast as it was whenever he heard the words repeated from the mouth of the man still in his presence. Silent. There was only a breeze stroking gently the woman's beautiful hair outlet.

“I ...,”
