After answering the phone, Riko responded to Reyhan's question.
"Not yet; I didn't have time earlier. I'll convey it later."
"I hope it's as detailed as possible."
"Okay."
Upon arriving at the café, Reyhan was warmly welcomed by CEO Rio and a woman named Anita.
"Good evening, Mr. Reyhan."
"Good evening, Mr. Rio."
"Good evening, Mr. Reyhan, you are getting more handsome," said Anita with a wink.
Reyhan smirked and then sat down without greeting Anita. When discussing the meeting, Anita offered wine to Rio and Reyhan.
"Come, sir, let's celebrate this collaboration!"
"Cheers!"
Reyhan started drinking and suddenly felt a bit dizzy. Not long after, Reyhan went to the toilet feeling hot all over. Unexpectedly, Anita followed him.
"Sir, let me escort you to your room. You might be tired," he said while supporting him.
Reyhan couldn't accept it and then grabbed Anita's chin.
"Are you trying to drug me?"
"No, sir. I didn't do anything."
Reyhan let go of Anita, and then Reyhan left to go home immediately. Arriving home, Reyhan knocked on the door, startling Marsha, who got up to open it, and when it was opened, Reyhan rushed in and hugged Marsha.
"You are drunk, sir." Let me take you to your room!
In Reyhan's room, Marsha gently laid Reyhan down. Unexpectedly, as she was about to leave the room, Reyhan pulled her back.
"Sir, I am Marsha. Please don't do anything strange!"
"You are my slave, so I can do anything to you, do you hear!" He shouted, not realizing that Marsha was in front of him.
And finally, Marsha spent a long night with Reyhan. Not long after the morning greeted her, Marsha woke up and realized that she remembered being with Reyhan. When she felt her body heavy, Marsha touched a large hand covering her, and it was Reyhan. Marsha cried incessantly because last night was a terrible night for her.
Reyhan heard a soft sound like someone crying, and he woke up to find it was Marsha.
"You. Forgive me!"
Marsha hit Reyhan's body while crying.
"You are wicked, sir; I am taking care of it for my husband. Why are you being cruel to me? I was willing to be a slave, but you are cruel. I want to go home," Marsha shouted while crying.
"Forgive me. Last night, someone drugged me," he said while bowing his head, feeling guilty.
Marsha slowly got out of bed and left Reyhan's room. After Marsha left, Reyhan noticed there were bloodstains on his bed. Reyhan was shocked and felt guilty.
"Am I wrong to think of him as a slave who needs wealth?"
Reyhan calls his assistant Riko.
"Check the café's CCTV from last night; someone deliberately drugged me, and look for as many details as possible."
"Alright, sir."
Reyhan walked to the bathroom to clean up, then changed clothes and looked for Marsha. Marsha was seen packing her clothes into a bag but was stopped by Reyhan.
"Forgive me, I will take responsibility for you. Will you forgive me?"
Marsha paused for a moment and thought.
"Have you thought about these words?"
"Because I am blind, that's why you pity me," Marsha said in a high-pitched voice while crying.
"No. I really want to apologize for doing that to you." Because it was also the first time for me. I was really unconscious last night. And as a form of my responsibility, whatever you ask of me, I will do it.
"I just want to go home, sir."
"Is it true you want to go home?"
"Yes, sir, I miss my mother."
"I brought your mother here."
"Is that true, sir?"
"Yes. So you don't need to go to your village. Because it's not safe there."
"How do you know, sir?"
"I have already investigated there." Now, let's have breakfast, starting today I won't make you a slave. Could you make me that chicken soup again?
Marsha smiled and nodded. When heading to the kitchen, Reyhan called the housekeeper.
"Ma'am, please help Marsha!"
"Alright, sir."
Now, Reyhan secretly gazes at Marsha's beautiful face. From a distance, someone is angry to see the two of them together.
"I won't let that village woman take him away."
Meanwhile, Reyhan was so happy to feel color return to his life after being left by his loved one. Before long, the chicken soup made by Marsha was ready.
"Enjoy your meal."
"Thank you."
Reyhan felt an extraordinary deliciousness in the soup made by Marsha. Reyhan also urged Marsha to eat. After finishing the meal, Marsha and Reyhan went out. Upon arriving at the destination, Reyhan met Erik.
"Rey, how are you?"
"Good, how about you?"
"Yes, like this. Who is he?"
"She is Marsha, I want to check your eyes."
"Is she your future wife?"
"Shut up, you!"
"Alright. Hi miss, let me introduce myself. I am Dr. Erik and also his friend."
"I am Marsha, sir."
"Just call Erik, miss."
"Do you want me to beat you up?" Reyhan said, glancing at Erik with an angry tone.
"Sorry, Mr. Reyhan. Alright, let's go in and get on the lady's stretcher. I will check the condition of your eyes!"
After being examined by Erik, Marsha sat back down, and Erik read the results.
"He is indeed blind, Rey. But it's not permanent; it can still be cured, but we just need a donor."
"I will pay you whatever it takes to find a donor for him."
"Are you sure about this?"
"Yes, because I want him to get better."
"Alright. You can be sweet too, Rey."
After the checkup, Reyhan invited Marsha for a walk in the park.
"Do you want ice cream?"
"Okay."
When she started eating ice cream, Marsha began to talk about her life.
"My uncle, named Dito, always hits my mother if she doesn't have money for gambling." Sometimes I also get hit by him for protecting my mother. And the incident that traumatized me was when my parents and I were returning from selling goods on a small motorcycle; suddenly a luxury car sped from the opposite direction and crashed into us. From there, I blamed myself for causing my father's death, and my mother became silent and had to struggle to support our lives. But my uncle Dito ended up abusing us. He pretended to be our savior. And it turned out he deceived me all the way here," she said while shedding tears.
Reyhan felt pity when he experienced luxury, knowing that there are people who feel pain like this.
"Don't be sad anymore; I will help you!" while wiping Marsha's tears.
"Is that true?"
Tomorrow, I will pick up your mother.
"Thank you, sir."
"Just call me by my name, Sha."
"Alright, Rey. Thank you."
After eating, Reyhan went to Riko's place. Arriving in front of Riko's apartment, he tried to ring the bell, but no one answered. Eventually, Reyhan called Riko.
"Where are you?"
"I'm at the apartment. Why?"
"I've been ringing the bell, but you haven't opened."
"Oh, sorry, I'm really sleepy. Just a moment, I'll open it."
Riko hurriedly washed his face, then opened the door for Reyhan. After opening it, he made a drink and snacks for Reyhan.
"You fainted, so you didn't hear the bell?"
"It's because I stayed late to trace Marsha's origins and investigate the incident at your house."
"So, who is the perpetrator?"
"Your housekeeper. It seems like she wants to take over the house and you."
"Because of the way he talks and behaves towards Marsha like that."
Reyhan smirked because the inhabitants of his house were dangerous enemies.
"What's their name?"
"Risa."
"He has been at home for 3 years, but it turns out he is rotten. Alright, you keep the recording evidence. Tomorrow we go to Marsha's village. Have you investigated the situation there?"
"Already, but Dito is hiding. Calm down, I already know where he's hiding; I just need to catch him."
"Okay. Oh, right, I'm heading home now."
"Going home? What's the reason for coming back?"
Curious about what that damn housekeeper does when I'm not home.
"You're smart too. Alright then, be careful."
When Reyhan was about to leave the apartment, there was a message from one of his subordinates.
"Oh, s**t!"
