Chapter 3 – Accused of Bitch

"La, I'm going home first!" said Karen.

"Yes!" said Danilla with pursed lips.

"Enjoy your work! Thank's also for the free ticket," sneered Karen by showing a BTS ticket. Until Danilla snorted in annoyance.

"I'm so unlucky OH MY GOD!" Danilla grumbled while looking at the screen on her laptop. She was annoyed and couldn't think at all.

"Danilla."

"Yes sir?" said Danilla.

"You just work in my room," said Kiano who suddenly appeared in front of him.

Danilla realized that the room was empty. Moreover, Celine, the secretary of her boss, had gone home early. Now it's just him and his boss. Only alone.

"Damn it! Why use overtime?!" Danilla grumbled in her heart as she stepped into Kiano's study. She pursed her lips. Her face looked very wrinkled.

Danilla sat on the sofa, she began to work with concentration. In fact, he had to get rid of her thoughts about the BTS concert at Senayan which she was forced to give her ticket for free to her best friend rather than waste it.

"Danilla, are you hungry?" asked Kiano.

Danilla just shook her head, because she had no appetite. All because of the boss. She felt like he wanted to say something rude and cursed her boss who was always impromptu. After all, for the concert. Danilla is willing to save and queue for hours. But, unfortunately she had to bite the finger.

"Okay, then I'll just order one meal online."

Danilla was just indifferent to what Kiano was talking about. Because her thoughts are only on BTS concerts.

"Danilla, are you all right?"

Danilla smiled faintly. Even though in her heart she wanted to rebel to refuse today's overtime.

An office boy also came to bring a cup of milk coffee for Danilla and Kiano who were working late tonight. All the office boy had to say goodbye to go home.

"Damn it, why do I have to work late at the wrong time?" Danilla grumbled in his heart.

Kiano was still sitting at his desk. However, his cell phone rang hundreds of times. He is still focused on his work.

*

At the Rayn family residence, everyone was having dinner, except for Kiano who was still in the office struggling with some work.

"Where's your husband?" Rayn also asked his son-in-law.

"Kiano is at the office overtime."

"How can he give me a grandson, if he keeps working overtime?" said Ray.

"Honey, maybe Kiano is having a special project," said Joana by pouring mineral water into her husband's glass.

"How can he go on like this?" Rayn grumbled. "He has a wife at home, he should have come home sooner."

Vira was silent. She doesn't know how to deal with her husband anymore.

"Vir, tell your husband. He has to go home now or else. I'll cut him off from the Rayn family heir."

"Okay, Pa," said Vira.

Vira, a beautiful woman who used to live in an orphanage, was forced to accept her match with Kiano. She had already made a promise to the Kiano family who would provide assistance to go to school.

Vira repeatedly called Kiano, but her calls were always ignored. She was just silent in the silence of the night.

"Am I only on paper, Mas," one breath of Vira while holding back the pain. In fact, she had never slept in the same bed with her.

Vira returned to the dining table, she was frozen silent.

"How can your husband be contacted?" Rayn also asked back to his favorite son-in-law.

Vera just shook her head.

"That kid's outrageous!" Rayn growled clenching his right hand on the dining table. He also feels sorry for Vira who is always ignored by Kiano.

"Pa, Vira is fine. Maybe, Kiano is having a lot of work at the office," Vira smiled stiffly, she didn't want there to be a fight between father and son.

*

Kiano sat staring at his laptop screen, at the other end Danilla began to drift off to sleep. He could not bear to see the woman sleeping sitting at the table, then the man moved to the sofa. Meanwhile, he is still working on some unfinished work.

Kiano's cell phone was still vibrating. He had to turn off his cell phone. He was disturbed by the call that contained his wife's name.

"Why does this dirty woman always call?" Kiano complained angrily, then he went back to work.

Suddenly Kiano felt sleepy, but he tried to hold back his sleep, because everything had to be finished today.

Kiano also makes his own coffee from the espresso machine in his room. The smell of coffee made the woman on the sofa sniff up the building.

"That must be espresso," Danilla began to sniff the espresso.

"This is for you," Kiano served a cup of espresso with one shot. The aroma of Robusta coffee can already be guessed by Danilla.

"Robusta?" guessed Danilla who had memorized the type of coffee. She is a true coffee addict.

"You like coffee too?" Kiano asked while sipping a cup of coffee which was still puffing from the smoke.

"Very!" Danilla did not expect that the 38-year-old man looked cute when she smiled. She was like a twenty five year old man.

Kiano looked at Danilla fixedly. He also remembered something, but he tried to brush it off.

"We'd better work again, sir. Because, there are still revisions. Especially the government hospital project. This must be released soon, so we can start working on it," explained Danilla.

Kiano just nodded. He agreed with all the statements that Daniel said.

*

Vira looks very worried, she always waits for Kiano until late at night.

"Ra."

"Master Rei?"

"Still not sleeping yet?" Reihan asked. "Surely waiting for your husband?" guessed it.

Vira just nodded. She looked up at the moonlight at night.

"Would you like to have a husband like him?"

Vira nodded. She began to love Kiano since five years of marriage.

"Have you ever done that?" Reihan inquired, who was very curious all this time, Vira was still a virgin or had already merged with Kiano.

Vira shook her head, "I have never touched Kiano until now. And we never do anything to sleep."

Vira was very innocent, she even lowered her gaze. She married but only on paper.

"Are you happy to be married to your husband?" Reihan asked.

"Mas, I'm happy to be married to Mas Kiano. Because, I'm sure one day Mas Kiano's heart is only for me," Vira hopes that the chances of that happening are slim. Because Kiano was always cold to her. In fact, never even touched it.

Reihan laughed, "Vira, how can you give Rayn's family a grandson, if you've never been touched? Are you Siti Maryam who was able to get pregnant by God's will?"

Vira was silent. The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. She thinks how long the marriage will last? he thought. She continued to pray that her husband could open a gap in her heart.

"Ra?" Reihan waved his palm in front of Vira who was in a dream thinking about the words just now.

Vira gasped when Reihan grabbed her shoulder.

"If you have a problem, you can talk to me," said Reihan.

Vira smiled, "Yes, mas Rei," she replied.

"It's cold outside, you better go inside. The night breeze is not good for your health," said Reihan with a faint smile.

*

In one room Danilla started massaging his forehead. She felt very confused, because there was a price difference. She started glaring at the laptop with her eyes almost tired.

"Oh my gosh, why are my eyes getting blurry?" thought Danilla, her eyes still moving up and down researching the budgeting report for tomorrow's tender.

Danilla had almost finished two cups of coffee, while Kiano had almost finished five.

"Ouch!" Danilla complained while holding back her sleepiness, she widened her eyelids with her hands.

Dddrtt.

Kiano's cell phone vibrated continuously, but he just ignored it. He didn't want to pick up, but just glanced at her.

"It's him again," Kiano mumbled, glancing at his cellphone screen with Vira's name on it.

Danilla started yawning. She tried to stay focused. For a moment she didn't realize he was fast asleep on the sofa in Kiano's room.

Kiano finished working on his proposal. He wanted to call out to Danilla, but he pursed his lips again. He opened his coat, then he gave it to Danilla as a blanket. He also allowed Daniel to sleep on the sofa.

"He looks so much like..." thought Kiano, as he looked at Danilla. He always saw the shadow of his past. However, he tried to push it away. "He's not her!"

*

The next day. Danilla wakes up. She felt her back and neck very sore. However, her position has changed. She also found her boss's suit.

"So last night he..."

The smell of coffee in the morning made Danilla even more excited.

"Drink," Kiano handed him a cup of coffee.

Danilla started to inhale the aroma, "This must be Arabicca?" guessed it.

Kiano smiled.

"So my guess is correct, if this is Arabicca coffee?"

Kiano nodded. He became fascinated by Daniel who looked even more curious.

"Are you married?"

Suddenly Daniel choked.

"Slow down," Kiano said in a flat tone with no expression at all.

Danilla began to think, "This person is crazy, he has such a cold attitude! Just smile, it's so stingy!"

"Why are you looking at me like that?!" said Kiano.

"Who's watching daddy?!" Danilla said lazily rolling her eyes, she was caught watching Kiano sipping coffee.

Kiano is a man who has a perfect physique. Tall, white, handsome, has blue eyes and looks young, even though his age is almost 15 years different from Danilla who is still 23 years old. His age does not detract from his good looks.

"I have transferred your overtime money to your account," Kiano showed proof of the transfer.

Danilla felt her eyes immediately green. "Gosh the numbers," she thought as she counted the zeros.

"Today you just have a day off, because you were late last night," Kiano said in a flat tone.

"Seriously, sir?" asked Danilla to be sure, she was afraid of being pranked.

Kiano nodded in agreement.

Danilla immediately cleaned up her equipment. She will enjoy her time off to just wash her eyes at the mall.

"What a pious child's sustenance!" cried Danilla in her heart. She did not expect to get overtime pay with a really wow amount.

TOK! TOK! TOK!

"Let me open it, sir. At the same time I want to go out, "said Danilla.

CKLEK!

The door opened, then a hand slapped Danilla so she fell to the floor.

Danilla was surprised, because early in the morning she had gotten breakfast in the form of a slap.

"KIANO!"

Kiano was taken aback. He saw Daniel fall on the floor of his room.

"Oh, so papa's son has started harboring cheap women. Whereas at home the woman who was supposed to be his wife had to wait in tears," Rayn sneered in a mocking tone.

"DAD! He's just my employee!" Kiano tried to defend himself.

"Hah? What kind of employees, if they dress like cheap women. Look at the shabby face and messy appearance. It could be that the two of you are intimate with the excuse of overtime," said Rayn, looking disgusted at both of them, especially at Danilla.

Danilla took a breath, she didn't want any misunderstanding between them. She just wanted to shed some light on what happened without adding or subtracting.

"Excuse me sir. I don't mean to interfere, but Pak Kiano and I are only colleagues. And we…. "

"Hey, how much have you been paid by this man. I know a woman like you is only after my treasure!" Rayn snapped, glaring at Danilla.

Danilla felt her pride being trampled on. She had spoken the truth, but the old man still suspected her.

"Hey, wake up you! This man in front of you is already married, why are you with a man like him?!" Rayn shouted at Daniella.

"DAD!" Kiano snapped. "What Danilla described is true! We never did anything!"

Rayn laughed mockingly.

"If there are two people in one room with appearances like you. That means something happened," Rayn accused them of cornering them.

"Dear Mr Rayn," Danilla managed to speak while holding back the pain of an accusation she didn't commit. "I'm just working, and I'm not a whore or a bitch!" Danilla explained, she was trying not to drop her tears. "I work here purely as a costing staff!"

"Oh, I see," Rayn looked disbelieving at the statement given by both Danilla and Kiano.

"If you never believe what I say. Even accused me of doing nothing. I prefer to leave your company. Because I'm not like the woman you think!" Danilla said firmly, glaring at Rayn. "It's useless for me to tell the truth and explain at length. But you never listen to my reasons or Pak Kiano's excuses."

"You have dared to go against me!" Rayn stared intently as he pointed a finger at Danilla.

"I've never been afraid of anyone in this world, sir. I only fear Allah!" said Danilla out loud.

"God damn it!" Rayn shouted as he raised his palm ready to shoot at Danilla's face, but Kiano held his hand and waved it.

"DAD! Danilla is right! So people don't like to be suspicious without evidence!"

"From this very second I resign from Rayn Construction Group!" Danilla broke up. She didn't want her pride to be trampled on in the middle-aged man's eyes. She started out of Kiano's room with her face covered in black clouds. She couldn't help but think that she was getting accusations that she had never done so far. She started packing all her things into a small empty box without leaving any of her belongings

*

Inside the room the man continued to rail against Kiano with a thousand questions. He also cursed Kiano to the full.

"Actually, what does papa want from me?" asked Kiano.

"Papa just wants you to immediately give papa a descendant from the womb of Vira, your wife."

Kiano took a deep breath, he felt that it would never be possible to have sex with a woman he never loved at all. He was only married on paper.

"Papa will give you six months, you have to give papa grandchildren, otherwise papa will take everything you have and donate to the foundation!"

"Okay Kiano will accept the challenge," Kiano accepted the offer from his father, although he would do all this only as a right and an obligation.

Rayn also left Kiano.

"Why are you getting here, that woman is troubling me?!" Kiano squeaked in his heart. He also shattered all the things on his desk.

"Argghhh! Damn my life!" Kiano cursed repeatedly. Even though he just wanted to give a seed to the woman he loved so much. But instead, the woman disappeared from him.

Kiano went home with a face full of anger, he didn't feel excited to work. His mood had just been messed up by his father.

"Unlucky!" Kiano swerved his car. He feels that his life is a loser, even he is unable to defend the woman he loves so much.

"Why is all this happening to me, Lord?" Kiano screamed in his car, he felt that his life was full of stress. He can not decide his life, because everything has been arranged by his own father. Then, he started to drive his car fast, he didn't care about his safety.
