Clarita turned around with puffy eyes and still wet cheeks when she heard Atma's voice, who was standing not far from her. "What!" Clarita screamed.
Atma frowned in confusion; he didn't know the origin of the woman in front of him, and vice versa. But he couldn't possibly just watch a woman who had just given birth to twins sobbing uncontrollably, especially as the woman was holding her daughter's body.
He didn't know which demon had entered his body; his strong hand reached out to take over the baby, who had only felt the outside world for a few hours. Like carrying a fragile item, Atma carried it carefully, as if he took the slightest wrong step, the baby in his arms would be crushed to pieces.
It's too much for a man like Atma, an untouchable man who somehow cares so much about the twins and the woman in front of him. After successfully putting the princess back in her basket, he rushed out to call the nurse.
Not long after, Atma returned with the same two nurses who delivered the baby earlier. Atma gave a code for the nurse to bring the baby back. Atma really doesn't know how to melt a woman's heart or calm a woman's cries.
Atma pulled a chair closer to Clarita. He was just silent and didn't move, staring at the back of a woman he didn't know at all. Likewise with Clarita, she was still crying silently, her back shaking uncontrollably.
He himself didn't know why his tears wouldn't stop. Even though he felt that he was fine, except that his future was no longer in shape, Clarita tried to calm herself and stop her crying, but the more she tried, the faster the clear beads flowed. The woman's cry was not an ordinary cry; Atma realized that. There was something different about the cry of the woman with her back-length hair.
“You don't need to hold back crying. But after this, "
"You can't cry anymore," Clarita interrupted in a hoarse voice. "Classic; all assholes would say that.” Atma was shocked to hear Clarita's words, and he concluded that the woman had been abandoned by her lover.
Atma fell silent again. He was really bad at seducing women, because all this time it was women who were seducing him and were happy to give up their bodies to be ravished by the man with the CEO rank. Atma only needs to lie on the bed with a cool expression on his face, and the women will be happy to move on top of him.
However, all this time, there was only one woman who kept disturbing his mind until he could no longer enjoy every move of the wild women out there. A woman who came to him when he was 'on fire' and up to now, Atma has been trying to find her, but like the earth swallowed him up, the woman he loved couldn't be found at all. He had searched from the end of the city to the end of the country and never found that woman again.
"Can you come out?" Clarita asked, still in a hoarse voice.
"You don't want to tell me?" Atma asked subconsciously. He immediately cursed his mouth for impudently offering something to a woman he had only known for a few hours.
Clarita turned around; she looked at Atma with a puffy face, not to mention the clear beads still dripping down her cheeks. He looked at Atma so coldly; it was actually the first time a woman had dared to look at him so coldly. So far, he has always received adoring looks. "I don't think we're that close to sharing life stories with each other."
Finally, Clarita had erected a high wall for the man in the white shirt. Atma looked deeply at Clarita. I don't know, but to Atma, the woman's eyes felt familiar and shady, even though the woman looked at him coldly. When he looked at Clarita, Atma found a streak of sadness and confusion in her.
“You're not paralyzed yet, are you?” Clarita sarcastically said that because the man in front of her didn't move a millimeter.
Atma snorted harshly, then pushed the chair, making a heartbreaking scraping sound. Clarita closed her eyes for a moment to neutralize the strange feeling that was floating in her heart. Atma stepped towards the door of Clarita's room. Not long after, there was the sound of the door opening and closing alternately, indicating that the man who was in the same room as him had left.
Since Atma left, Clarita continued to think about clues that she might be able to remember about who the man who had taken her crown was. There was only one clue that Clarita remembered: the man had an ivory necklace and a black rose tattoo on his chest. However, men with such characteristics are not just 1 or 2 in this world. Even though the necklace felt marketable, there were probably more than thousands of men who had the necklace, not to mention tattoos. Clarita was getting frustrated thinking about what would happen in the future.
On the other hand, Atma was increasingly curious about who the woman in the room was—the woman who looked at him differently. “I have to find out.” Atma's fingers moved to type several letters on the screen of his cellphone. Not long after, his cellphone rang again briefly. Atma hurriedly opened his cellphone again and read the message he had just received.
Atma's lips twitched softly when he read a series of pieces of information that Atma had just given him—Atma's right hand—complete with Clarita's home address, shoe size, hobbies, and favorite food. Atma enthusiastically read all the information that Bara gave him, but Atma's brow furrowed when he arrived at the last page of Bara's report. The man with thin sideburns couldn't find any information about Clarita's origins; he didn't find out who her husband was, when he married, or who his family was. He only found Clarita's full name, namely Clarita Inggit Devina M.
Atma dialed Bara's cell phone number. Not until the count of five had changed to a polite greeting from Bara. “Your data is incomplete. Do you want to be fired?" Atma asked without further ado and without greeting.
A rough sigh was heard on the other side. Bara himself already knew his boss's behavior by heart; how could he not? For 8 years, Bara accompanied Atma to lead the family company. Not to mention, if Atma accidentally implants a seed into a woman's fetus out there, Atma will hand it over to Bara to solve any problems that will occur.
"I told you. The woman did not provide any information on social media or local residents. You know, he's like an alien who suddenly came to the village. No one knows who her husband is or who his family is. He only said that he deliberately stayed here to calm herself down." Atma sighed in annoyance at Bara's explanation.
Neither Atma nor Bara made a sound; as usual, Bara would wait for Atma to hang up the phone if he still wanted to work at the well-known company.
"Besides, you don't want to find out about women? What is it?"
Bara's words kept ringing in Atma's mind; now he started to question himself. So far, Atma has never cared about the identity of the women close to him. He is a normal man, like a cat; whatever kind, if served meat, he will definitely enjoy it.Likewise with Atma, it was these women who offered him heaven on earth, and he would accept it happily. But if something happens beyond his control, then Bara will be the one to step in and tidy everything up until there is no trace. Cruel? No, as the sole heir of Atma, you are required to always look perfect. Not only looks, but images must also be maintained in such a way.On the other hand, Clarita is still busy lamenting her fate after today. She did not think that she was pregnant with twins; so far, she had never had her pregnancy checked. Not because he was embarrassed, but because he couldn't use his economy to just visit the midwife in the village. She only relies on her instincts to protect her womb.Even though she didn't expect the
"Get up," said Atma, his strong hand holding out a glass of mineral water for Clarita. Instead of accepting Atma's glass, Clarita stared at him coldly. She looked at Atma suspiciously. "What do you want to come here for? I am not a cheap woman who will easily give my body to you.” “Why do you think that?” Clarita snorted lazily and said, “Isn't that a trick of rich men like you, sir? Helping weak women like me, coming like a hero, making them feel like they owe you a favor, and then asking for payment by being served in bed? After that? You will throw away women like dirty laundry.” “Wouldn't dirty clothes be washed and used again?” said Atma, not wanting to lose. "That's right, and when the clothes are worn out, you will throw them away and replace them with new ones. That's the wheel of life in bed for a CEO like you, sir." Clarita replied sarcastically. Atma's gaze did not soften completely, but he understood the situation Clarita was going through, and his suspicions about C
Now Atma is confused because three people are crying at the same time. He looked at Clarita and the two nameless babies alternately. His mind was confused; he had never been in a situation as complicated as this. His intention in coming to the hospital was only to convey the fact that he had paid all the costs so that Clarita didn't need to worry. But what happened was beyond his control. Atma saw something that was actually familiar to him. Because almost every night he enjoyed the view for free, but for some reason seeing Clarita's 'belonging' was able to awaken his naughty side. Luckily, this time he was in a good mood, so he had no intention of taking over the rights of the two nameless babies. After calming himself down from his naughty thoughts, Atma walked over to Clarita, who was still crying, using one hand as a pillow for the boy and covering her face with the other. "Instead of crying, it's better for you to cover this," said Atma as he covered Clarita's clothes. He tried
"What do you mean?" asked Clarita, glaring at Atam sharply.The man shrugged his shoulders indifferently and walked away from Clarita. Not long after Atma left, two women wearing white clothes typical of nurses entered Clarita's room. They were surprised to see what the woman was doing.“Excuse me, Madam, how may I help you?” asked one of the nurses, surprising Clarita."Hah? Ah, no, I just want to tidy up my clothes." Clarita hurried to correct her position.She is now freer because, since this morning, his hands have been free from syringes that interfere with his movements. The 22-year-old woman looked happy because all the plans she had made would soon be implemented."Sorry, Sus, if I go out, how much will I have to bear?" Clarita asked carefully."Cost?" The nurse who was checking Clarita's blood pressure seemed surprised to hear Clarita's innocent question.Clarita nodded slowly while giving a scared look. "Don't wo
"Wow, Clarita has been born. When? Why didn't you tell mom?" said the boarding house owner when she passed Clarita, who was about to enter her room."Yes, ma'am, yesterday I had an accident and was forced to give birth. Thank God the person is responsible."The landlady smiled kindly and said, "Thank goodness then; the important thing is that you and your child are healthy."Clarita just nodded and smiled faintly. After saying goodbye, Clarita rushed into her boarding room. She laid Yara and Yandra carefully on the bed. After that, she changed into more casual clothes. She began to tidy up his personal belongings. She was absolutely sure that after this, the people would no longer accept her, because she once said that her husband would return when she gave birth. And now, let alone her husband, he doesn't know exactly who the father of the twin babies who are fast asleep is."Why don't you clean up straight away? You shouldn't move too much, kid," the bo
“You alone know what's in your heart. Are you comfortable around her, or are you just feeling sorry for her?"Atma looked at Bara, confused. "Pity?"Bara laughed crisply, then he grabbed the black coffee, which was still emitting smoke, and sipped it slowly. “It's a pity because she gave birth without her husband present. Possible.""What is certain is that my heart is dead of love!" Atma said firmly, and Bara just shrugged his shoulders indifferently.Seconds turned into minutes, and minutes turned into hours. This morning, Clarita was bothered by her two babies crying at the same time. Clarita tried to take a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. She did it repeatedly, trying to neutralize her thoughts. Clarita always does this when she is confused."What's wrong, Cla?" asked the landlady, who had been standing in the doorway of her boarding house for some time."Ah, ma'am, sorry if I disturb the other boarding house residents. I also don't know why Yara and Yandra are crying like this.
"Sit here, sis." Clarita looked up slowly. Until she looked at the figure of a young woman."Hi sis, Has anyone been called for an interview?" Clarita asked, trying to be friendly with the young woman beside her. She predicted that the woman would only be 19 years old. It can be seen from her innocent appearance and also from the brown folder she is carrying.“Hi sis, there are already several sis. "There's this much left," she said politely.“This much?” Clarita asked to confirm."Yes, sis, there were a lot more this morning. Oh yes, sis, I'm Deandra; just call me Dean."Clarita returned Dean's hand and said, "I'm Clarita; nice to meet you, Mba."Clarita and Dean engaged in a
There clearly stood two female figures with simple appearances; their heights were not much different. "Who's At?" Bara repeated because Atma did not respond to his question.Without many words, Atma started his car engine and moved to follow the public transportation in front of him. Bara frowned in confusion, but he was reluctant to ask the man beside him. Atma's strong arms gripped the steering wheel tightly, and his eagle eyes stared straight at the transport in front of him as if, if he blinked, the transport would disappear from his sight.Bara seemed to snort harshly; he didn't know where Atma would take him. Moreover, some of the work has not been completed. Now Bara regrets his decision to go to the meeting in one car with Atma; he should have brought his own car so he wouldn't have to get caught in a confusing situation.Unlike Clarita, the woman seemed to be chatting with Dean. After talking with Dean for a long time, she found out that the 19-year-old girl had just moved t
