THE MOST VALUABLE PROPERTY

The atmosphere that had been full of hot struggles has now turned into sadness. Dirga hugged Nadine tightly, not willing to let the girl he loved become someone else's.

"I swear I will always be faithful to you, Din. You will never regret giving up everything to me. Forgive me this helpless one. Later, if I am established and have completed my S2 education, I will always wait for you to return."

"No, Honey. If you find another girl you deserve to be married to. Don't mind me," Nadine whispered in Dirga's embrace.

"Never forbid me to always love and be faithful to you," Dirga replied, kissing Nadine's forehead affectionately.

Until nightfall, they repeated their hot game. Nadine insisted that Dirga fertilize her uterus. Let her marry another man but, she wants to conceive and raise the child of the man she loves. David will only get the rest, that's what Nadine thinks.

***

Nadine sighed, is this karma because she cheated on David? During these 6 years, David has never been rude to her. He was never angry, even when he found herself not a virgin on the first night the man did not comment on anything. In front of their parents, David's attitude was always sweet. Is it wrong to punish this man?

No! sHe was not wrong, if only David as a man flatly refused the arranged marriage that their parents wanted. Then she will never be a wife and can still wait until Dirga becomes a doctor and marry her.

Feeling annoyed Nadine also kicked the table hard. sHe suddenly remembered something, ah, where is Liliana? Is the girl exhausted and taking time off? For some reason, Nadine felt the need to visit Liliana and make sure that the girl was fine. She immediately grabbed her bag and walked out of David's office.

Driving her favorite sports car herself, Nadine heads to Liliana's apartment. Exactly David's apartment was given as a work facility to Liliana. Two years ago when Liliana applied for a job as a secretary, David and Nadine agreed to accept the girl. Among the other applicants, only Liliana is a fresh graduate. David and Nadine agreed to give Liliana a chance. And it turns out that they did not choose the wrong one.

Liliana very agile girl and also dexterous at work. She was very polite and also enduring, at least that was Nadine's assessment. At first, Liliana's stay was not far from the office, but Nadine persuaded David to give Liliana apartment facilities.

"sHe's your secretary, What do people say if you know the personal secretary of a big businessman like You lives in a cheap boarding house," Nadine said after stopping by Liliana's boarding house on one occasion.

Arriving at the apartment building, Nadine immediately climbed through the elevator. Not only did David have access to the apartment, but Nadine did, as the apartment was a gift from David's parents to them.

Unlike the husband who without manners went straight inside, Nadine chose to keep ringing the bell. However, after almost 15 minutes Liliana did not leave Nadine was worried and she immediately entered. Just as Nadine walked into Liliana's room, she saw the girl holding a knife intending to cut her veins.

Nadine immediately grabbed the knife from Liliana's hand and threw it all the way.

Plaque! Plaque!

"Are you crazy, Liliana? What do you want?!" said Nadine. While Liliana just cried while shaking her head.

"Why did you stop me from dying, Mrs?" Liliana asked desperately. Nadine exhaled and holding Liliana's Cheek forced the girl to look at her.

"Look me in the eye and tell me Are you ready to die? After all, this is my husband's apartment, there's no way I'll let you die here!"Nadine snapped.

Liliana could only cry, 'if you knew that it was your husband who made me like this,' Liliana's mind was sad. Seeing Liliana crying, Nadine sat down next to the girl and hugged her. He let Liliana's tears break in her chest. For a few moments, only Liliana's sobs and roars were heard. Until finally the roar and the cry subsided then Nadine let go of her arms.

"I've been suspicious since yesterday when we came home from Kupang, you looked very moody. What's the matter, actually?" asked Nadine. Liliana shook her head, there was no way she could say that David had raped her. sHe does not want to destroy other people's marriages and is considered to damage other people's households.

"I'm just sad, Mrs."

"Sad to try to commit suicide? Tell me, don't hesitate. If I can, I'll help you."

"You won't be able to help me, it's a matter of my self-esteem and honor as a woman, Mrs."

Nadine frowned and linked her two eyebrows while squinting at Liliana. sHe tried to understand what the girl said.

"You impregnated your boyfriend?"Nadine asked without further ado. Liliana shook her head, "I don't know if I'll get pregnant or not, Mrs. M-me ...."

"Why, Li? Speak up!"

"I've been raped by someone, " Liliana replied in a choked voice. Nadine suddenly widened in shock, she shook Liliana's body slowly.

"Tell me who did it? What was in Kupang yesterday? One of our clients?" asked Nadine.

Liliana just shaking her head made Nadine resentful.

"We will demand justice for you, tell me who it is!"

"I don't know, Mrs. I was drunk that night, " Liliana replied softly. It's all over Nadine's body. As a fellow woman, she felt very concerned about what had happened to Liliana.

"You don't remember at all, Li?"Nadine asked in a softer voice. Liliana shook her head, in her heart she screamed. It's hard to say that it was David who brutally raped her. However, the girl did not reach the heart. Let her bear this secret herself.

"How can you not know?" asked Nadine again. Liliana was silent, she was confused about what she should say to cover up the previous lie?

"At that time, I was drunk and maybe I didn't close the door of my room properly. When I was conscious, my whole body especially ...."

"Is there blood?"

"I-Yes ... and the door of my room was a little open, my clothes too ... already-"

"No, don't you continue. We go to Kupang, we can check the CCTV footage there. Every hallway of the hotel has CCTV, we can know who the culprit who has entered your room. But before we have to see a doctor ask for a visa that says you have been raped, " Nadine said.
