Chapter 11

“Aww!” Rakia dropped the flower scissors she held when a thorn pricked one of her fingers. Adeline, who was not far from her daughter, immediately turned and approached.“What is it?” asked Adeline with a worried face. Rakia looked down at her bloody finger.“That rose stabbed me,” Rakia reported. Adeline immediately took a handkerchief from the pocket of the gardening apron she was wearing. Then she pressed the cloth on Rakia’s wound.“Come in, let Mama finish everything later,” Adeline ordered.“But, Ma, I want to help.” Rakia begged. Adeline shook her head as she pressed her lips together.“That’s enough, you just come in. You can take over the kitchen work instead of taking care of the plants.”Raki snorted. He is more skilled in the kitchen than in the flower garden. She nodded resignedly. Just as she was about to enter the house, the housekeeper, Mrs Liam, stood in the doorway connecting the back garden with the living room.“Ma’am, Mr. Montezza forgot this.” The woman is agains

She wasn’t usually this nervous for a job interview. Rakia stared at the lobby door of the television station she had visited that day. Several people were going in and out through the door alternately. She was standing on one of the steps, gathering her confidence before entering the building. A week later, after sending several job application files to several television stations in this city via email, only two of the total five locations she sent application files scheduled for interviews. It was far from Rakia’s expectations, but she tried to be strong; however, after she was laid off, she had to start everything again from scratch.After completing the interview in the first building, which was quite time-consuming with questions that had nothing to do with her future work, such as her relationship status, whether she was married or not, and some random questions that she was reluctant to answer, however, she still gave her best answer; she thought that sometimes the random ques

With a surprised look, Rakia looked at Dashtan, who was smiling at her. She ended the call unilaterally when the man came over to her.“Don’t you have anything else to do besides being a stalker? I could have reported you to the police for invading someone else’s privacy.” Rakia said fiercely. Dashtan enjoyed every emotion the woman showed her since she met and saw her often.“Going home now?” asked Dashtan.“No, I’m taking the bus home,” Rakia refused sternly. She answered without looking at Dashtan.“Your mom will find you; you’re new here; she must be worried; if I take you home, your stepfather will tell your mom about me.” This time, Dashtan tried another way to make Rakia care about her. That way, she could get Rakia to talk about the marriage again. Rakia snorted and blew air out of her mouth by advancing her lower lobe. She turned to stare at Dashtan with an annoyed look.“What do you want exactly?” asked Rakia desperately as she stood up.“Fine, I’ll just follow you,” she fin

The sound of cooking utensils and processing food was the backdrop of the restaurant Rakia and Dashtan chose for dinner. The atmosphere of a street food place near Chinatown became Dashtan’s choice after Rakia decided to leave the decision of choosing a place to eat entirely to the man. The aroma of seafood combined with spices tempts anyone to stop by and sample the menu. Rakia opted for the rice noodles with grilled squid; Dashtan ordered the same except with a different addition of grilled prawns. She also added chicken dumplings and sweets for dessert.“Want to try tangyuan?” Dashtan asked and offered. Rakia nodded enthusiastically. She ordered her sticky rice balls filled with chocolate, while Dashtan ordered red bean filling.“Do you eat here often?” asked Rakia, just out of curiosity and to start a conversation between them.“Not really; I’m the type of person who isn’t too picky about food. But I don’t eat haram food.” Dashtan honestly answered as he looked at Rakia.“What abo

The arrival of her father was something that Rakia welcomed quite enthusiastically. She asked Adeline for permission to pick up the man at the airport. However, Rakia was a little disappointed when she learned that her father had promised to be picked up by someone else. What she didn’t know was that the other person was Dashtan.“You didn’t go pick up your dad?” asked Adeline when she saw Rakia helping the maid cook lunch in the kitchen.“No, Dad said he was picked up by someone else who had promised him before coming here,” Rakia replied as she stirred her homemade mushroom chicken soup; she then took a little of the soup and tasted it on the tip of her palm she nodded after feeling the right flavor on her tongue.“Who?” Adeline wanted to know. Rakia turned to look at Adeline, then shrugged. Adeline raised her forehead with her lips slightly forward. She tried to guess who would deal with her ex-husband this time, and it certainly wasn’t far from the man’s profession.“I’m going to

Chapter 16

The scent of lavender-scented bath soap wafted from where Rakia had just come out of the bathroom after a few minutes spent soaking in her favorite soap. Before going to bed, she often takes a bath first, but because she used to live in a boarding house, she only takes a shower, not a bath. Nowadays, her mother’s home provides a bathtub so she can maximize her ritual. It’s been five days, and she hasn’t heard anything about her job application. From various places she had gone, including Dashtan. She couldn’t wait to return to her old routine; she felt only lazier if she stayed home too long and was unemployed.She approached his laptop on the bed, open and on, displaying a desktop wallpaper of the Eiffel Tower—one of the places she wanted to visit. In the past, when she was still with Benjamin, she hoped to go there with him. However, everything was just a dream even though until now, she still hoped to visit that place even without anyone’s company. Rakia sat on the edge of the bed

Rakia looked down at the white envelope she had ignored last night. Grabbing the object, she opened it and read the contents carefully. Her heart seemed to jump out of her chest and her eyeballs when she found out the envelope’s contents were a lawsuit letter from Benjamin related to his act of burning her wedding dress at that time. The man filed a lawsuit against her, seeking damages for the destruction of private property amounting to more than 1 billion dollars. Rakia sat limply on her dressing table stool as she sluggishly dropped both hands to her sides. She was immediately confused by the lawsuit. She thought about telling people about it when she found a solution. She put the letter back in its envelope and put it away in the dresser drawer, then quickly went downstairs to have breakfast and leave for work.Her mind was divided between work and the lawsuit. The letter also gave Rakia a one-week deadline to fulfill the demands.“Where did that much money come from?” asked Rakia

Liam smiled, looked at Rakia, and said, “Maybe so.” Suddenly, Rakia smiled disapprovingly at that. Dahstan snorted and smiled sarcastically; he didn’t like Liam’s words even though he knew the man was joking. Rakia was silent while finishing her food, and then she took the cell phone from her pants pocket and typed a message for Dashtan.“I have something to talk to you about, but please save me from this friend of yours.” Rakia wrote the message and sent it to Dashtan. Immediately, Dahstan’s cell phone chimed; the man checked his phone and read the letter from Rakia. He glanced at the woman who was eating. Dashtan started his rescue mission; he put his cell phone back in the back pocket of his jeans.“I’m sorry that I have to borrow your lunch companion to discuss something important; you don’t mind, right?” Dashtan gave Liam a severe look to make him believe him. Rakia raised her face and looked at Dashtan; she only pretended to be surprised so Liam wouldn’t get suspicious.“Well, i

Chapter 19

Dashtan canceled his plans to meet Rakia to discuss their marriage contract. Suddenly, his father called him to temporarily review the construction site of the Dubai city water irrigation, which the government would soon work on in collaboration with his company. His company won the tender to construct clean water irrigation for Dubai. As a result, he only sent Rakia an email containing the contract they would live under during their marriage.“You can add and disagree with the points of the contract, so we can discuss it later when I return to Singapore,” Dahstan wrote in his email. Rakia smiled and opened the document sent to her. She read each point carefully. Letting out a long sigh, Rakia bit her lower lip with a feeling of uncertainty. Some issues made her reconsider, but her interests also compelled her.“There is no sexual activity if both parties do not want it or if one of the two parties to this agreement does not want it,” Rakia read in a not-so-loud voice. She sighed agai

Chapter 20

Since her communication with Dashtan a week ago, Rakia and Dashtan have been busy with their respective affairs in terms of work. Without Rakia realizing it, a week had passed since she last saw Dashtan’s face and heard his voice. Her current work took up so much of her time and attention that she had forgotten about Dashtan, who had returned to Singapore. She was surprised when the man came to pick her up at DS to see Dashtan waiting for her while leaning against the hood of his car in the front, wearing jeans with a white turtle neck shirt with both sleeves rolled up to the elbows. Dashtan pinned his sunglasses to his collar. Indeed, Rakia would not be able to deny that Dashtan’s figure would always make women out there stunned, including herself at this time. She stared at Dashtan while gulping her saliva as she walked up to the man, and when they were close, Dashtan noticed her presence. The man turned his head and gave her a smile and a look that made Rakia tremble.“Hi, sorry fo
