Chapter 75 - A Talk With Tia

Dila's breath is irregular. Her heartbeat faster every second as the sweat dripped from her body. The heat of their burning passion overcame the cold of the air conditioner. Dila caught her breath and tied her hair. She felt hot because her whole body was wet with sweat. Bara lied to her. He said it would be a 'Quicky' but instead, the man asked for two rounds. Bara was still lying limp in bed with his arms outstretched and his body was only covered by a blanket. Behind the blanket, the man was totally naked. He was very satisfied that he had taken his wife's nectar. He smiled happily looking at Dila who was taking a towel in the cabinet.

"Dear, where are you going?" he teased.

"Take a shower," replied Dila.

Bara hinted at Dila to come closer, when the woman approached him, Bara hugged Dila then kissed her cheek.

"Thank you, dear." Bara said. 

"As a thank you, I want to take Tia out for a while to accompany me shopping. Can I?" Dila smilling.

Bara could not refuse his wife's wish as he agreed to Dila's request. The woman went to the bathroom to clean herself. Bara rubbed his face roughly as he was sure that Dila brought Tia for a whole different reason than shopping, Dila must have other plans.

After tidying up, Dila left Bara's room. The man just waved his hand to sign his wife to go. Bara walked to the front door naked to say goodbye and locked the bedroom door after Dila left.

"Let's go Tia." Dila approached Tia's table.

Tia gawked at Dila's wet hair. The girl immediately understood the reason her boss's wife's hair was wet. Dila must have finished washing her hair.

"Don't stand like a statue. You don't seem to know your boss's true nature." Dila smiled, hiding her embarrassment. Tia caught her having sex in the office.

"I just shocked since I thought this kind of thing only happened in novels." Tia burst out laughing.

"Your boss is the living proof."

"Boss is a slave for your love, sis."

"Let's go." Dila took Tia's hand as Tia hastily took the bag.

Dila swerved through the streets of the capital. Tia looked at her boss's wife with an incomprehensible look. Dila stopped in front of a boutique as she shopped for clothes. "Tia, let's choose which clothes do you want?"

"What do you mean?" Tia was dumbfounded, she cannot understand why Dila bought her clothes. Tia hesitates because the clothes in this boutique are expensive since they are branded goods.

"It's my treat." Dila pulled Tia's hand and asked her to choose some clothes.

"Don't bother, sis."

"I am. This shirt is not that expensive," Dila said casually.

Tia looked away slowly. How much does it cost? Her brow furrowed when she saw the price of the 'Zoro' brand shirt. Rich people are really reckless since two digit clothes are like nothing to them.

"Why did you do this, sis? You are really suspicious."

"You must be suspicious. Fine,  actually you can consider this a bribe," Dila said, chuckling and laughing. Dila chose some clothes for her and Bara. Every time she went shopping, Dila always bought clothes for her husband. Even though the man didn't ask for it.

Tia was forced to choose a shirt that was quite cheap for the brand standard. Tia knows that she needs to be mindful. If Daniel had bought it for her, she probably wouldn't have refused, but this is his boss's wife and she doesn't want to be seen as outrageous.

Dila took out a 'black card' from her purse when they made payments at the cashier. Tia gawked at Dila's black card. She looked at the card with envy. She couldn't imagine how rich Bara is since the man has many black cards. Rere also has that card. Tia knows if Dila is rich too. Usually, the upper class will marry people from their circle. Only in novels, a poor girl gets a CEO's husband. In real life, the CEO has criteria for a prospective wife.

Dila and Bara were married through an arranged marriage. Their parents definitely did not carelessly choose a partner for their child. They will consider the quality, origin, and rank.

Dila also brought Tia to a gelato shop. They already had their lunch so they didn't want to eat a heavy meal. Dila chose durian-flavored gelato. Tia chose green tea-flavored gelato.

"What do you want to talk about, sis?" Tia asked suspiciously. She doesn't feel good about this since she was sure that Dila was trying to dig up some information from her.

"You must be very suspicious of me, Ya." Dila calls the girl 'Ya'.

"It's because you are weird, sis." Tia laughs showing her teeth.

"Weird?"

"You don't behave like you normally do." Tia burst out laughing.

"What's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?" Tia got straight to the point.

"Tell no one that I bribe you with some clothes earlier."

"How could you guess my mind?" Tia was embarrassed because Dila could read her easily.

"I want to ask about Rere and Dino."

"What's wrong with Rere?" Tia stops eating as she wiped the rest of the gelato from her mouth. Their topic discussion is quite heavy since it is about Rere and Dino. Hmmmmm. Tia can already guess what Dila wants to ask.

"I know you are close to Rere. I just want to know something since Dino is my cousin, and Rere is my sister-in-law." Dila paused, wanting to see Tia's reaction.

"What's it, sis?"

"Why did Rere accept Dino's proposal? Is this because of my husband's intervention?" Dila stared at Tia as she touched Tia's palm. Emphasize that she needs answers and does not want to be lied to.

"Why don't you ask Rere?" Tia stammers. She wanted to run since she doesn't want to interfere in Rere and Dino's household matters.

"A person like Rere, who is closed and likes to keep things hidden, she will not tell her suffering to others. She wanted people to know that she was fine. It's like, Rere knows the drink is bitter but keeps drinking it all. If normal people like us, we will definitely spit the drink, and don't want to touch it anymore. Rere is a loner. She cares about other people's happiness, but is ignorant about her own happiness.

"Yes, it is true." Tia agrees with Dila's opinion.

"I know you are Rere's close friend. You also know how my relationship with Dino is. I also know that you told Dino that Rere gave birth to his child."

"Sis?"

"Don't be surprised. Dino has told me everything. Yes, marriage is once in a lifetime. I want Dino and Rere to love each other. I got word that they don't match. As a friend, she must tell you something. Does Rere love someone else? You know that Bara and I got married because of an arranged marriage. I accepted it because I couldn't stand the neighbor's talk. My parents are ashamed to have a spinster like me. I was thirty years old then. Bara also accepted an arranged marriage for the sake of his devotion to his parents. At that time, I was still in love with another man and I wanted to marry the man. It was hard to accept my marriage with Bara, but I tried to move on. Maybe this is my destiny since I pray once that if he is my soulmate, I wanted us to be closer and if he is not, I want to forget my love for him and stay away from him. As time went on, I was able to accept Bara's flaws and love him. We are totally different from Dino and Rere since they are tied to a child. Is Rere still in love with Angga?"

"Rere has not loved Angga since the rape attempted," Tia spoke in a hurry.

"So?" She smiled sweetly. Tia falls into the trap. Dila deliberately goes around in circles for Tia to speak unconsciously.

"Rere is still hurt by Mr. Dino. She married the man for the boss. Rere did not dare to argue with the boss because when she fell and was driven away, the only supporter she had was him. Aunt Ainil even kicked her out at that time, but the boss protects and keeps her safe like his own sister. She doesn't want to disappoint boss."

"Does Rere like my husband?"

"How is it possible? Rere even suspects that there is something between you and Mr. Dino. "

Dila let out a shaky breath. It turns out that Bara and Rere think Dino still loves her. Dila needs to straighten all this out. No wonder Bara is very possessive and wants to unite Rere and Dino. Rere is just a tool to separate her from Dino. Dila smiled at Tia as she had found the root of this problem.
