Restless and kept waiting for Ferdinand who had not come home, that's what Irina did. The woman sat on the living room couch staring at the open door, expecting her husband to appear.
"I shouldn't be mad at you, I should understand you," Irina said worriedly, remembering Ferdinand who showed disappointment and immediately left and even forgot to bring his cell phone. "Now you go .. you go sick .what if you suddenly pass out on the street, or pass out while driving..."
Irina stood up, increasingly uneasy and guessing what Ferdinand was doing now.
"Is it possible that he will leave me? What if my fate is here? does that mean I have to go back to los angeles again? But is this the end of our love story?"
Irina was getting more and more anxious, sad, imagining What if she couldn't meet Ferdinand again. She remembered that her husband was easily emotional but so far had never thought of ending their relationship.
"No, I'm sure he'll be back!"
Constantly fidgeting with pacing by the door, Irina finally saw Ferdinand who had just gotten out of the taxi. She immediately came out to greet her husband with a smile full of emotion.
"Honey ...."
Ferdinand was silent with his flat gaze, looking at Irina who came running up to him.
Irina immediately bumped into Ferdinand and hugged him tightly. "Oh God, I was so worried about you!"
Ferdinand was silent, but his hands wrapped around Irina's back.
Irina let go of her arms and then caressed Ferdinand's jaw which was so smooth, looked at his face with a sad look even more sad because her husband's face looked very pale.
"Where have you been? I was really worried about you!"
"I sell cars," Ferdinand replied, then took an envelope tucked between his pants and waist. He immediately showed the envelope to Irina. "I hope this money is enough for our living expenses here until I get my first salary," he continued.
Irina frowned. "First salary?"
"Yeah..." Ferdinand smiled. "I got a job today ... And tomorrow I can go straight to work."
Irina immediately smiled in relief. "Really?"
Ferdinand nodded.
"But you're still sick, you can't possibly work..."
"Don't worry, I'm feeling well," said Ferdinand with a smile. "Besides, my work isn't that hard," he continued, then led Irina towards the house.
Irina brought a rather thick brown envelope which probably contained a lot of money. Silently she thought about what job Ferdinand had gotten today.
"Where do you work and what is your position?" She asked.
"Em…" Ferdinand sighed. "I work for a real estate company and my title is personnel manager."
"That's good ..."
"Yes, honey. Now you don't have to worry anymore, you don't need to ask your family or Daisy for help," Ferdinand said, embracing Irina from the side and kissing her temple. hmm, is it true that he was accepted to work as a manager? Didn't the girl take him to a house in a hidden area?
Irina immediately remembered her argument with Daisy, which made her feel sad, and wondered if her sister was just trapped in Richard's love.

Arriving at the room, Ferdinand immediately took off his Hoodie leaving only his pants, then walked over to Irina who was sitting daydreaming on the couch.
"Is something bothering you?" he asked as he sat down.
"Yeah, it's about Daisy," Irina answered worriedly.
Ferdinand frowned, didn't like it when Irina thought about Daisy again, he even want to make her stop contacting her sister.
"I had to call her when I was worried about you….I'm confused because there's no one here that I can ask for help," Irina said worriedly, afraid that Ferdinand would get angry. "But she didn't like me contacting her," she continued.
"What did she say?" Ferdinand asked.
"She said she couldn't help me, and would never help me again," Irina answered sadly. "Even though I called her, telling her my problem because I just wanted to get a solution...advice, not help... .and she was also very angry when I suspected that your difficulty getting a job was because of Richard... She didn't like me assuming bad things about Richard," she continued.
Ferdinand sighed, leaning back casually. "That means you don't need to contact her anymore..."
"But now I'm worried... I'm afraid she'll only get hurt by Richard," Irina said worriedly, remembering Daisy's innocence, Living with the cunning Richard.
"Are you worried, or jealous?"
"What do you mean?"
"Daisy lives in luxury with Richard, while you suffer with me..maybe you don't like it if she gets Richard's love, then... You think there's no way Richard can love her because previously he only loved you...."
"Why do you say that?" Irina asked before Ferdinand finished his sentence.
"I just assumed…" Ferdinand shrugged.
"But your assumption hurt me... You seem to judge me as a materialistic, petty, greedy, evil woman," Irina said angrily, suddenly her respect for Ferdinand diminished. "If I did have a materialistic attitude then I would rather marry him than run away with you here to live a life of misery! You should think that what I did to you was also a sacrifice….I left something luxurious just for the sake of being with you which may not even be able to provide luxury life for me... That's because I love you, but that proof isn't enough to make you satisfied so you accuse me..."
"Irina ..."
Irina immediately became silent and turned her head away, feeling very disappointed at Ferdinand's attitude. Earlier she was very worried about him, and very grateful when he was back home, but now she felt she had to distance herself from her husband.
"Okay, I'm sorry if what I said just hurt you," Ferdinand said, then took Irina's hand and held it. "Thank you for wanting to fight alongside me... I should be thankful for that...You left many things to be with me, it's because of your great love... I'm sorry," he continued, brushing Irina's hair that covered her cheek.
Irina was just silent still cranky.
"Today I found a lot of difficulties but I was also able to find a job that I think is right for me," said Ferdinand with a smile while looking at Irina's fingers that wore their wedding rings. "Now, we just need to make a plan of what we should do after I have the money," he continues.
Irina glanced at Ferdinand. "First of all you have to buy a car, buy a house whether it's in installments or paid off immediately ... I don't like this house!" She said curtly.
Ferdinand smiled. "Don't worry… I will fulfill all your wishes. Nice car nice house….You'll get it, I can even buy a new bag for you!"
"Your job title is only personnel manager, you won't be able to fulfill all my wishes Quickly!"
"But I can, I'll prove it!" said Ferdinand confidently, as if he was going to earn a lot of money from his job. Hmm, what job did he get from the boss of those two hot girls? Or maybe he's involved in a dark business so he can be sure he can make a lot of money in a short time? Or maybe the job he got was part of Richard's trap who wanted to make him suffer?
