Predictable
Large, shady trees that are approaching the dry season make the leaves fall. Up there, the sky seemed to pay attention to everything on earth, the moon which was previously round in one piece, has now turned into a crescent, around it there are also sprinkles of stars that surround it and accompany it throughout the night.
The later the night, the more the atmosphere became quiet. The highway that was usually filled with night vehicles passing by was rare. Only one or even two cars passed by on the highway, of course, in front of the increasingly deserted Sky Hospital. There were only nurses and orderlies passing by taking care of sick patients.
Precisely, in the VVIP ward, there was now Raya who was feeding her father dinner alone. Indra had said goodbye to go home, tomorrow the man would visit the hospital again. After only a few bites, Mr. Kevin chose to finish and asked Raya to immediately give him the medicine that the nurse had provided on the dining cart. After taking it, Mr. Kevin seemed to want to discuss something with Raya.
“Raya, are you sure about Indra?” Asked Mr. Kevin who was actually a little unsure of Indra’s sincerity to his only daughter. Raya nodded.
“Sure, Father. So what, do you find something wrong with Indra? Or do you just not like him? If that’s the case, I’ll break up with Indra so you don’t have too much to think about.”
“No, that’s not what I meant.”
“Then?”
“I just want to make sure, if he’s serious, why doesn’t he marry you soon?” Mr. Kevin said with a slight giggle and immediately covered his mouth with both hands.
“Aish, what the hell, Dad. I’ve only been going out with him for a few months, how can that be? Getting married costs a lot of money, you know.” Raya quipped. I don’t know where her father suddenly asked her about when she was going to get married.
“Yes, I am. But I have the funds if you want them.”
“Why do you really want me to get married?”
“Well, I want to see my daughter get married and have children, so that I can pass on our wealth to my grandchildren.”
“Oh my, Dad, why are you already thinking that way, it’s so far away, you know. Indra and I still want to lower our egos and understand each other’s personalities. It’s a hassle to get married, especially when there are children. It’s already a hassle taking care of the shop, plus taking care of the children. I want to succeed first with Indra, so that later we can get married using both of our money, not just asking Father. We just want to live independently, Father. Get used to not always depending on our parents. Let our wealth be managed by you, if you want me to hold it, that’s fine too, hehe.” Raya explained to her father who asked her about marriage. What the hell was that? It was not good because Raya and Indra still wanted to date as usual.
“Well, actually I don’t mind if you hold it, but the problem is that you don’t understand and don’t want to know about the office world. That’s what’s still on my mind. When you held the company managed by Gifer, it went bankrupt everywhere. I’m confused, and I don’t know who to inherit it from. I’m getting old, son. I can no longer work as fast as I used to. My memory has also declined, I’m just afraid that if I can’t pass it on to our family, who will I pass it on to? You’re my only child. So, can you help me? If you marry Indra, he will manage the company, that’s why I asked earlier, are you sure about Indra? I just don’t want our company to fall into the wrong hands and cause bankruptcy like back then.” Raya was still thinking about what her father had said.
“I’ll think about it, Father. But, don’t force me to get married in the near future, yes we will get married, but it might still take a while.” Raya replied. Mr. Kevin just sighed and let it out slowly. Suddenly Mr. Kevin also remembered something.
“Oh yeah, how was the bazaar at the Inyeon building? Was it crowded? Or after what happened to Dad, did no one buy anything?” Mr. Kevin asked.
“Those who bought didn’t really care about what was reported, Father. They don’t have any negative thoughts. I got a message from Gifer’s secretary, Sekar, that the bazaar is running smoothly even though there are some obstacles, but it doesn’t make the buyers run away.” Raya said.
“Thank goodness for that.”
“So what, Father? Don’t we have a lot of buyers already?”
“Actually, this is a promotional bazaar for Gifer’s company, so I’m just helping him because Gifer is having a little trouble with promotion.”
“Ah, I see.” Raya replied while nodding her head in understanding.

In the apartment, Belvina was still watching the k-drama series she liked while waiting for Anggi to come home. Even the hot chocolate that Belvina drank from the rather large cup was already half gone, but Anggi had yet to show her nose. Making Belvina, who had been watching television leisurely, became uneasy because of the thought of her best friend who had not yet returned home. Belvina even occasionally checked her cell phone which was placed next to the cup of warm chocolate on the table in front of the sofa that the girl was sitting on.
“Where exactly is Anggi? Aisshh, from this afternoon you know, even now she hasn’t come home yet, crazy. This is so crazy, should I look for her?” Belvina thought as she ruffled her hair roughly because she felt lonely in the apartment alone. Usually there are two of them, but this time she had to be alone.
“I’ll just look for her, who knows Anggi is dating a guy outside the apartment right?” Belvina immediately grabbed her thick jacket that was in the room and opened the apartment door. She was surprised to see her best friend standing in front of her before knocking.
“Oh my! Anggi!” Anggi arrived around 8 p. m. with a face that looked like she was tired. Belvina led Anggi to sit on the sofa.
“Where have you been, Gi? I was going to look for you.” Belvina panicked.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“That, I can explain later. But first, I want to know something from you. Emm, this is just to make sure.” Anggi replied with a serious expression on her face, even though her eyes were actually red from sleepiness and also tired from today’s trip with Haris.
“What is it? Just ask.” Belvina invited Anggi to ask.
“Haris, what kind of person is he? Is he a playboy? Or what?”
“I don’t really know Haris, so I don’t know what his true nature is. So what?” Belvina asked back curiously.
“Do you like Haris?” Anggi’s eyes immediately went wide at Belvina’s explanation. Belvina immediately covered her mouth with both hands, afraid if she misspoke.
