Aiden let out a long sigh as Rayyan came and walked towards the direction where she was sitting. It was clearly visible on his friend's face, how much burden he was carrying and thinking.
"Mocktail" Rayyan said to the bartender after sitting next to Aiden.
Aiden breathed a sigh of relief to hear Rayyan order a mocktail, which is a fresh drink combined with fruits, herbs or flowers served on top of the glass as well as a cocktail but in the absence of a mixture of alcohol.
This is the difference between a mocktail and a cocktail.Although at first glance the appearance between a mocktail and a cocktail is the same, because the color is attractive and served in a beautiful glass. But mocktails do not contain alcohol, while cocktails use a mixture of alcohol.
White rum is usually made into a cocktail. Brown rum with golden brown color, is also one of the ingredients to make cocktails as well as cakes. The alcohol content of this one drink starts from 37.5 percent.
Though when Andi tells Roni to see Rayyan at the nightclub, Aiden thinks that Rayyan wants to get drunk to forget the problems that come crashing. But it turns out Aiden's guess was wrong.
Rayyan only ordered mocktails that did not contain alcohol. Do not order cocktails let alone Vodka which is a high-grade, clear, and colorless alcoholic beverage, which is usually distilled from wheat or grains and fermented potatoes. Which has an alcohol content of 40 percent. Because some times Rayyan deliberately drunk by drinking Vodka.

"Please help me to speed up the destruction of Jony's company. I'm sure Jony was the one behind the man who burned the warehouse. And also the mastermind of the shooting that happened to me" Rayyan said, kneading her own temple.
"of course. I'll make them completely broke this time. I will execute the strategy we have set. As soon as possible. Too bad the sniper chose suicide instead of giving us information. You're very lucky to have escaped that shooting. The sniper was famous for his precise aim,"
"That's because Andi's men saw the beam of aiming at me and immediately pushed me. If Andi's men weren't meticulous and didn't quickly push my body, now I would've stayed a name, "so Rayyan took a rough breath.
"On the disappearance of Aurora, your father-in-law and Bik Mastuti, it's really hard to find a clue,"
"I feel like the man behind the barn burning, and the shooting directed at me is not the same person who kidnapped Aurora, Bik Mastuti and my two in-laws, either,"
"You mean, there are two masterminds behind this?"
"Yes. I feel like the mastermind behind my barn burning and shooting is Jony. While the mastermind behind Aurora's disappearance, Bik Mastuti and my in-laws, I think it's someone else. But I don't know who that guy is. How it works is so neat, fast, organized, and very thorough. It seems like it will be difficult to face them. And until now no one has contacted me for ransom. I was so confused, what exactly was the motive for kidnapping Aurora and the others," Rayyan began to gulp a mocktail of her orders that the bartender had just placed in front of her.
"Because I'm sure, Jony intends to replace your company to supply goods to xx companies that always take goods for their production materials from your company,"said Aiden who also sipped the same drink with Rayyan, namely mocktail.
"That's why, I suspect, if Jony was behind the last night warehouse fire and the shooting at me this afternoon,"
"The pattern is too easy to guess,"
"I'm going to find the person who's been his spy in my company. There's no way he'd know about the activities in my company if he didn't have a spy in my company,"
"You're right. I think so too. By the way, I guess, you took me to a nightclub to accompany you intoxicated, "suddenly Aiden.
"You all must think that way. I'm not the old Rayyan. Soon, I will be a father. What about my father figure in my daughter's eyes later, if I get drunk? My image as a perfect father would be flawed. I want to be a good father figure for my daughter later," Rayyan said in a breath that felt tight considering that he did not know the situation of his son and wife.
Usually every night Rayyan will stroke and gently kiss Aurora's stomach. After that Rayyan will feel the movement of her baby in the Aurora as a response to her touch. And it was always successful to make Rayyan feel happy. Until the routine stroking Aurora's stomach is always a routine activity before she and Aurora sleep.
"Thank God you think positively like that. Pity Andi if you're drunk. He's tired of taking care of so much work, yes, having to take care of drunk people too" joked Aiden.
"Damn, you!"ketus Rayyan's.
Rayyan does not want to do activities that no longer have benefits. And take better care of her health after Aurora declares love to him first. Especially after Rayyan found out that Aurora contains flesh blood. Rayyan wants to stay healthy in order to always be able to spend quality time with Aurora and their baby.
The night is getting late, Andi and Aiden are very grateful because Rayyan does not drink alcoholic beverages at all. They finally decided to go home and rest.
Rayyan let out a rough breath as she walked into her quiet and empty room. There was usually an Aurora inside that room. Welcomed herself with a smile and rushed over to her. Let go of his tie and shirt painstakingly. But now there was no one in the room but him. No one welcomed him home.
Rayyan took off her clothes, leaving only her boxer pants stuck to her body. The man took one of Aurora's dresses. Rayyan hugged and kissed the dress that was still left behind the fragrance of Aurora perfume .Just to get rid of his longing for Aurora.
"I hope I can find you soon. So that we can get together again. I want to accompany you when you give birth to our baby later. I want to be the first to see our baby born into this world" Rayyan muttered as she stroked Aurora's dress, as if talking to Aurora.
Rayyan tries to close her eyes while kissing Aurora's dress. Hope his insomnia does not recur to keep him healthy. He could regroup with his wife and son again.
