Episode 4

Before he could answer his personal assistant's question, a car suddenly entered the company's yard, and Thalia seemed to approach the car.

From the car owner's gestures, Rasya could guess that the car was an online taxi.

"Let's go!!!" Rasya ordered after seeing Thalia get into the online taxi.

"Yes, sir." The luxury car driven by Rasya's personal assistant began to move, splitting the city streets of S, which were almost deserted of traffic.

Rasya seemed silent, but his head was noisy with various questions about Thalia. Was it true that the woman had remarried???? But if that was true, wouldn't it be wrong, because they were still bound by a legal marriage in the eyes of religion and state law.

Rasya couldn't close his eyes almost all night, impatiently waiting for morning to come.

Thalia was surprised and scared when someone pulled her hand towards the still-empty corridor of the building.

"What's wrong, sir, why did you bring me here???" Every time she met Rasya, Thalia's heart felt like it would stop beating. All kinds of negative thoughts that Rasya might do if he knew the truth that the baby in her womb was his seed, crept into Thalia's soul.

"Is it true that you remarried????"

Thalia seemed silent, she was still confused by Rasya's question.

"So it's true that you remarried." Rasya assumed that Thalia's silence meant agreeing with his suspicion, that the woman had remarried.

Rasya smiled and the man's smile actually looked scary in Thalia's eyes.

"While still my wife, you dared to remarry, and even now you are pregnant..." Thalia even closed her eyes when Rasya punched the wall until the man's hand was injured.

Deg.

Rasya's confession surprised Thalia, it turned out that until this moment Rasya had not divorced her. Yes, Thalia thought that after the man kicked her out of the apartment a few months ago, Rasya would immediately file for divorce in court, considering that Rasya had a strong enough reason to divorce her at that time.

"Thalia..."

Riri, who accidentally passed by in the corridor of the building, witnessed the presence of her friend with their boss.

Realizing Riri's presence, Thalia took the opportunity to push Rasya's chest until she could escape from the man.

"What are you doing here????" Riri looked suspicious.

"Nothing, Ri. I accidentally almost fell and luckily Mr. Rasya helped me." Thalia was forced to lie to her friend.

"Oh, I see." Riri seemed to believe Thalia's reason.

"Let's get out of here. Excuse me, sir...." bowed respectfully to Rasya, then pulled Riri's hand to immediately leave the place.

Thank you again for saving me, Ri. Thalia.

It seemed that Riri didn't suspect anything at all, the proof was that the girl no longer discussed what she had just seen. Now they were both in the elevator that would take them to the tenth floor, where their room was.

In the Leader's room.

Rasya had just dropped his weight on his big chair. He didn't expect to be unable to control himself until he acted like that in front of Thalia.

That night.

Thalia had just consulted with her obstetrician. Tonight, Thalia was very happy, for the first time she was able to see her son's face clearly through a 4D ultrasound examination. In the midst of Thalia's happiness, there was one thing that was on the woman's mind, namely her son's face which was very similar to his father. What if after he was born, Rasya would easily recognize his son when he realized the similarity between them, that was what continued to bother Thalia's mind. Honestly, there were two things Thalia was most afraid of, the first was that she was afraid Rasya would not accept the presence of his son until he had the heart to do bad things to his son. And the second, even if Rasya accepted the presence of his son, it didn't necessarily mean that the man would accept her presence as his wife, and it was also possible that Rasya would separate her from his son. Just imagining it made Thalia's chest feel tight.

Luckily, tonight Thalia was not accompanied by Riri, if Riri had joined her tonight, her friend would easily know the truth that the father of her child was none other than the head of the company where they worked.

Arriving at the boarding house, Thalia saw Riri's car parked in front and the owner was sitting in the front chair of Thalia's boarding house.

"Where have you been so late at night????" Riri always cared about her friend, so Thalia going out of the house for a moment without her already made Riri look so worried.

"I just went to the supermarket to buy milk." Luckily, Thalia had stopped by the supermarket to buy milk specifically for pregnant women so Riri believed her reason just like that. Thalia was forced not to be honest with her friend because she was not ready if Riri saw the photo of the ultrasound results that showed her son's face. Although it was still a black and white screen, Thalia was sure that Riri would be able to guess who the father of her son was after seeing the photo of her son's ultrasound results.

"Come on in!!!" Thalia opened the door of the boarding house and invited Riri in.

"I want to stay here, is that okay????" Riri said while reaching for the TV remote, then turned the thing on.

Thalia smiled. "That's unusual, you never ask permission to stay over."

Riri also smiled awkwardly, realizing that her attitude was a little strange tonight. Actually, the intent and purpose of Riri's arrival tonight was to discuss Thalia's pregnancy which was almost nine months old, but until this moment Thalia admitted that she had not conveyed the news about her pregnancy to her husband.

With a tray containing two glasses of juice, Thalia appeared from the kitchen.

"Drink it while it's cold!!!"

"Thanks."

"Thalia...".

Riri's shout diverted Thalia's attention from the television screen.

"What's wrong????" Thalia asked. "It seems you want to talk about something important." Thalia guessed when she saw the seriousness on Riri's face.

Her friend nodded.

"Soon your pregnancy will almost be thirty-six weeks and you still haven't conveyed the news about your pregnancy to your husband. I believe you are able to be a single mom for this child, but have you never thought about how your child will feel when he grows up, when people will question him about his father??? Have you never thought about how heavy the burden will be borne by my nephew later when he is considered to have no father by the people around him????"

Yes.

Thalia's heart ached imagining if what Riri said really happened. Would she be able to see her son being made fun of, of course the answer was no.

Both of Thalia's eyes began to water. "What if his hatred for me makes him hate the child born from my womb, Riri????"

Riri was silent, unable to answer the question.

"I'm not sure he will care about my son, the proof is after seeing my condition, he didn't ask about my pregnancy."

"So you have met him in a pregnant condition like this????" Thalia answered Riri's question with a nod, making Riri speechless.
