17 Chapter 16

Rio is now walking and looking at something in a display in one of the malls he is currently attending. With accuracy and calculation he chooses something to buy. Maybe something with a simple model . He stopped when he saw something that caught his attention.

"This one please." He pointed to a maid on duty. "It's an easy model to use isn't it?" he asked the waiter again.

"Yes sir, it doesn't have too many features and also the design is quite simple and not too heavy. It is very easy to use sir."

Rio nodded slowly.

"Okay, then I'll take this one." Rio decided, after deciding to buy it he walked to the cashier to pay. He took out his credit card and handed it to the cashier.

Drrt...

Drrt ...

Rio felt his cell phone vibrate indicating an incoming call. When he saw the name on the screen, the smile grew full of pleasure.

"Hello, Dinda." He answered slowly, taking the credit card and paper bag that the cashier handed him. With his right hand still holding the cell phone to his ear he walked out of the shop.

" Hello , dear. How are you? I'm sorry never call you. I'm really busy, very dense schedule. Even two days I've never got enough sleep."

"Are you that busy? You've been missing for almost a month if you forget Dinda, it's a good thing you have a patient lover. Otherwise. I've married someone else." He replied in a slightly mocking.

"Rio! What are you saying? If that's true, then I'll fly straight to LA. And you know what I'm going to do?"

"What?"

"Of course I will kill her, kill your wife."

Rio chuckled at Dinda's words.

"Really? And if it is. I will always protect you from going to jail." He answered with a chuckle.

"I'm not kidding Rio"

Rio stopped his steps, he looked at the people who were now passing by him. Looks like Dinda can't be joked around anymore.

"So, go home. I really miss you, remember. At the end of this year I will go to your parents and propose to you officially. You're still wearing the ring I gave you, aren't you?" ask Dinda.

"Tsk...yeah, calm down. Maybe in a month or so I'll be home. You know Rio? I've already told my parents about you. And they totally agree, and about the ring. Of course I still use it. Men who want to approach me."

"Really? I'm so glad to hear that."

"Okay Rio later I will call you again if I have time, I love you."

"Hmmm...take care of your health, it's still winter now. Remember to wear warm clothes, I love you too."

Rio ended the call, he was very happy. Not just because Dinda contacted him, but. He was very happy that Dinda had told her parents. His smile grew wider when he received a picture sent by his lover.

"Dinda is right, she always uses it, be patient. Four more months and the baby will be born. At that time I will really divorce Laras."

With the strength remaining, Rio drove back to his house after the hospital. There was already Lin's father and aunt standing guard, it seemed he wanted to rest for a while at the house. He slowed down his car when he had entered the gate of the house, maybe he didn't need to put his car in the garage at this time. Because later he will use it again to go to the hospital.

"I am home." Said Rio as he just opened the main door.

"you, already home." Said Laras who came out of the kitchen with accelerated steps, she immediately took the bag she was carrying and also the coat that Rio had just removed, but not the paper bag .

"Hmmm..." Rio just mumbled by loosening his tie which was really choking his neck.

"you, do you want to take a shower or eat first?" Laras said politely.

"I'm going to take a shower first, for food. You don't need to prepare it, I'm going straight to the hospital."

"Ah...okay."

Rio walked inside to go to his room. But the sound of a car coming in stopped him, the sound of the car seemed familiar to him. He faced the door that was still open, showing someone with a sturdy body came and just walked into his house.

"Hey Rio." Said the person with a smile that showed all of his upper teeth.

"Rizal?" Rio asked in surprise, he glanced at Laras who was still standing where he was. "What business are you here for?" he continued.

"Hah...don't put on a sour face like that. Here, you forgot to bring this file, weren't you going to check it at home? Good thing I remember it." Rizal handed Rio a map and Rio immediately took it of course.

"Oh...thank you, have you? Now go." Expelled Rio to his personal secretary.

"Wow Rio, how are you with guests? I just came, at least you gave me a drink." He said and now he glanced at Laras in amazement. " Who's she?" he continued by pointing at Laras who was still standing carrying Rio's bag and coat.

"She? Just a maid." Rio said lightly, no one should know if Laras is his wife.

"Really? No wonder I just saw it. Wait a minute." Rizal stepped closer to Laras because something was odd according to his vision, but Rio quickly stood in front of Laras preventing Rizal from getting closer.

"What?."

"Rio is she pregnant?" point it at Laras. Hearing that question Laras automatically covered her stomach with Rio's coat she was carrying.

"What's your business?"

"Don't tell me you got her pregnant?" Rizal raised an eyebrow probingly.

"Watch your word Rizal! You want me to fire!" it seemed that Rio was starting to get emotional making Rizal take a step back.

"I'm just kidding, after all I already know if you already have a girlfriend Rio."

Dugh

"AWWWW! Rio!" Rizal winced in pain because Rio had just kicked his shin.

"Already! Go there! Wow, should I cut your salary this month? Rizal?"

"Wow wow...boss what kind of boss threatens his employees like this? Gosh, fine I'll go. If you weren't my friend I would have resigned from a long time ago ." Rizal brushed his hair back. "I'm leaving, you damn Rio."

"RIZAL!" Rizal immediately ran outside because he didn't want to get hit by Rio. Quickly start the car engine and of course leave from there.

"You." Rio turned his body and now faced Laras. "The next time you hide your whereabouts from people I know, you know it's not considered your existence to be out of my scope of life? Keep that in mind."

"I'm sorry, Rio."

"And one more thing, this." Rio handed him the paper bag he had been carrying.

"What's this?" Laras asked taking the paper bag .

"It's a cell phone, I bought it for you."

"Really? Thank you, Rio." Laras spoke slowly, suddenly a small smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

"Don't be big-headed, I bought you that just to check the conditions at home, especially Mommy. Not to call you every time, it's something useless."

DEG

That smile immediately disappeared when Rio said that, huh. It should be like that. It's true what Rio said, she shouldn't be big-headed, doesn't Rio only think of her as a maid? Yes. Just a maid.
