On the previous day.
Kinara, who was still indecisive, decided to meet with Kresna. Kinara asked Kresna to come to her office when the day was approaching afternoon, more precisely when the employees at her company had disbanded to return to their respective homes. Then quickly Kresna came.
"Good afternoon, Mrs. CEO," said Kresna at the time. He sat opposite Kinara with an upright body, but his face was so bright, that he seemed super relaxed. "You don't doubt me anymore, do you?"
Kinara looked at Kresna closely. Oh, the young lawyer was able to read Kinara's mind, knowing that Kinara had indeed doubted her abilities.
"I still doubt you," Kinara answered then sighed. Her gaze dropped to the table board which was still decorated with all office objects. A few seconds later, she looked at Kresna again. Her eyes were firmer. There was an even more intense radiance of seriousness. "But if just doubting without giving you a chance would be unfair, right? I need your performance, that first performance to test how capable you are to help my problems, Mr. Lawyer."
Kresna smiled. "I will accept your challenge, Mrs. Kinara," he replied casually.
Kresna is very confident that he can overcome all the challenges given by Kinara. It was troublesome to get such a conscientious client, but this time Kresna felt challenged. He will consider himself a coward if he is not able to defeat that woman's challenge.
"Look," said Kresna about to go to the main topic. "If you find out where Mr. Abimana is staying while in Bali as I heard from someone, I can get a large piece of evidence in no time. Or, if you don't like my plan, maybe I can give you a little advice, Madam."
Kinara frowned. "How do you know if Abimana is in Bali? I haven't even said anything about that topic and the reason why I had to divorce my husband."
"I received pieces of information from someone. However, I have no right to damage Mr. Abimana's privacy without the knowledge of you as his wife. So, can you permit me to do my plan?"
Kresna explains, but not in its entirety. This is about the results of the investigation he has done. Kresna was looking for a figure who had entered Kinara's office. That figure is a Tiara, who according to Isabela is Kinara's closest friend. Kresna could guess Kinara and Tiara's closeness after previously seeing the sad look on Tiara's face, moreover, he had heard some conversations between Tiara and Kinara. After leaving Kinara's office, Kresna immediately moved to look for Tiara armed with a little information from Isabela. From Tiara, Kresna heard some explanations and he promised Tiara to help Kinara out of this unpleasant situation.
"How do I know the information I have isn't important anymore, right?" Kresna continued. "Besides, I'll be your attorney. Besides, I can win any challenge from you, Mrs. Kinara."
Kinara was still silent. However, her eyes did not leave her friendly face of Kresna which made her uncomfortable. This man is moving faster than I thought, thought Kinara judging. A few times, she took a deep breath. There was no choice, but to use Kresna's legal services, as she had almost agreed before. After all, Pramono couldn't have sent a stupid kid to take care of a case belonging to the head of a big company like Kinara, could? Well, there is no time to be doubtful.
"How are you going to get evidence that can make it easier for me to divorce Abimana?" asked Kinara.
"Call the hotel." Kresna immediately answered. His face which for Kinara was very stiff and annoying suddenly turned more serious. "Isn't Mr. Abimana still not back? For business? For work? Or to appease his mistress? You still have to monitor, don't you?"
Kinara blinked. That is true! She should have thought that far. Abimana still hasn't come back. That man just simply bombarding her cell phone with dozens of messages and calls, but the man still didn't return to Jakarta to just ask for forgiveness. It could be, that even there, Abimana is still with his mistress. Alright, Kinara knows the direction of Kresna's thoughts. She had to keep an eye on her husband again, then get evidence of her husband's adultery through the hotel manager concerned. She will pay dearly for the services of the manager, or even offer a big partnership, just for the sake of a divorce.
At that time, Kresna just smiled at Kinara who seemed to be thinking hard. He was sure Kinara had read the plan to be carried out. And sure enough, not long after that, Kinara immediately grabbed the office phone and called Isabela outside. She asked Isabela to get access to contact the hotel concerned.
Back to Bram's house.
Kinara already received several photos of Bianca's whereabouts in the hotel room where Abimana had been staying for the past few days. According to the manager, a janitor managed to take a picture of Abimana's girlfriend secretly. Not only photos or voice recordings, but Kinara also managed to get CCTV footage that recorded Abimana and Bianca entering the same room, even though they entered the room several times at different times.
"I think this evidence explains Mr. Abimana's mistake and Mrs. Kinara has the right to file for divorce, even Mrs. Kinara can sue Mr. Abimana for alleged adultery," said Kresna after showing the evidence to Bram.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Abhimana suddenly shouted. His voice was loud, but there was a nervous quiver from his lips. His eyes just got red and watery. Cold sweat appeared on his panicked face. "I'm not having an affair, Dad! Don't trust them! They just misunderstood! Th-this is a misunderstanding! That woman is only ... limited to ... my business partner!" The more panicked and nervous, but Abimana still tried to persuade his father-in-law.
Bram was still silent. But he gritted his tooth. His two fingers seemed to be clenched tightly. Angry, disappointed, but also very confused. The man she chose as her daughter's life partner was a traitor. Abimana disappointed him, and also disappointed Kinara. How could that be? How can Bram, who is very selective always, make such a wrong decision? Just for the sake of business, but her daughter's life is ruined? He is very stupid!
"Dad, I can't live with a man who has tarnished the marriage," said Kinara. She still looked calm. Even so, her heart was broken. How she had to swallow this bitter pill of life. Moreover, she had to keep trying to hold back the tears. She must be strong. For the sake of herself who didn't want to look weak, let alone pitiful. She doesn't want if her parents to see how broken her heart is.
"This woman ... doesn't she feel sad at all? Why is she so calm? She doesn't even cry, even though her husband has betrayed her. Mrs. Kinara, what kind of woman are you? Why do you still calm, or even likely to be okay?" Kresna's mind wondered.
"Go ..." said Bram for the first time after being shocked by the reality he had just received. The next second, he looked at Abimana with very sharp eyes. Then ... he slaps Abimana's cheek until it made a loud enough sound, even his son-in-law's cheek was red and bruised.
Kresna was stunned, while Kinara could only hold her breath. Unlike Abimana, who was so frustrated that he even kneeled in front of Bram.
"Dad, please, please ... believe me," said Abimana. He didn't want to divorce Kinara, let alone lose the big merger between his company and his wife's company.
"Go! Go, Damn it!" said Bram with all his might. "Get away from my daughter's side and get away from everything about my family!"
"D-dad!" Abimana was unable to continue his words. There is no longer any alibi to run from one's own mistakes. "I'm sorry, ... Father."
Weakly, Abimana got up. He looked at Kinara angrily. However, Kinara did not give an exaggerated expression. The woman's face remained flat. The next second, then Abimana left. And after that, Bram fell weak. Bram felt very sorry for his only daughter.
"Kinara is happy without Abimana, and nothing will change that happiness, Dad," said Kinara while helping her father to get up.
"Wow! What an iron-hearted woman!" Kresna muttered in amazement and surprise for a moment after Kinara guided Bram to enter another room of the house.
