Ryder looked at Alan sharply, especially when she heard his friend's words. "You kidding me?"
Alan shook his head. "Of course not. But you also have to bet on it, Bisma and Shanty will also bet."
Bisma and Shanty nodded to agree with Alan's words, they were even impatiently waiting for the betting moments later.
Ryder was silent for a moment. Of course he was tempted by the offer that his friends gave, especially with other friends. They will also bet, and if they win. Then he will get up to 20 billion dollars, just by a day.
Actually nominal that small for Ryder, let alone he's the only heir of the family business empire. But all of this has its own pleasure for him.
"Alright, I'll also bet 1 billion on him. If the woman you're carrying wins it, then you'll get the woman,"
"Really?" alan asked, Bhishma and Shanty at the same time.
"Yes, of course. I'll risk Yara, if I lose. Then I'll leave it to whoever wins in that gamble."
Ryder's three friends immediately cheered happily when they heard the man's words. Then they rush off to get everything ready, as for the first time Ryder brings the hijab-wearing woman to stake.
"Why is my heart pounding?"
Ryder held onto her chest that was pounding, for some reason she suddenly felt claustrophobic and afraid of something.
"You okay?"
Ryder gasps in shock when she hears someone's voice, especially when she sees Yara's face that is very close to her face.
"I-I'm fine." Ryder nodded her head making Yara breathe a sigh of relief.
Yara who had just entered the room was shocked when she saw the man holding onto his chest, thinking that maybe Ryder's chest hurt and rushed over to him.
"Yes, if so rest. I will continue my work," said Yara with a sweet smile, she then walked towards the sofa and will resume her work.
Like a cow poked in his nose, Ryder nodded her head and immediately lay on the bed. Without waiting for long, his two eyes instantly closed into dreamland.

It was not felt, Yara had been taking care of Ryder for a week until the man returned to health as usual. His patience and tenacity really make both Ryder's parents feel very grateful, even Ryder himself has also felt if their relationship is very close.
After being examined by several doctors at the hospital, Ryder was allowed to go home today. Yara asks the help of the expert doctors to check Ryder's condition, and the results are very good.
Both Ryder's parents expressed deep gratitude for Yara, as well as for the others.
"Tante invited you and all the family to dinner at aunt's house, you should come yes, dear."
Yara smiled as she nodded her head. "God willing Aunt, but I'm sorry. Papa and Mama Via have returned to London, so I will come along with papa Mahen and mama Riani alone."
Of course, Vano must go home immediately because his work has piled up, especially his children must go to school and cannot take too long off.
However, Zafran refuses to come home because Yara has not been able to return with them. He would only go home if his brother went with him. Of course all that was due to the feeling of worry for her brother, let alone seeing the man who was with the older brother at this time.
After all the preparations were done, Ryder and her parents rushed out of the hospital. Yara escorted them to the parking lot where their car was.
"Later I'll call you" Ryder said before getting into the car, and only answered with a nod of Yara's head.
"We go first, Yara. Don't forget to have dinner." Adena waved with a bright smile as bright as the weather today.
"God willing Aunt, be careful on the road."
Eric honks his car once and leaves, while Ryder stares at Yara as if unwilling to leave..
"Why? You want to be hospitalized forever?" said Adena suddenly who realized if her son objected to take her home.
"Not hospitalized, but treated by Yara," Eric continued in a mocking tone, making Ryder throw a face back.
Without responding to the words of his parents, Ryder stared at the streets and people passing by. It had only been a few seconds that he had not seen Yara's face, but now it felt like he had already missed her so much.
"Tell me the truth, Ryder. Do you love Yara?"
Adena opens her voice again, making Ryder look at her. "Why did Mama ask?" Ryder stared intently.
"Because my mom wanted to know. If you really love her, then we'll propose to her for you. There's no need to procrastinate on something good, or something bad will happen" Adena said, quickly making Ryder sigh violently.
"I have to make sure of something first," Ryder replied as she turned her face back towards the streets.
If asked if Ryder loves Yara or not, it is clear that everyone knows right from the look of his eyes. But what about Yara? To this day he did not even know how that woman felt towards him.
After Ryder's departure, Yara re-entered the room that had been occupied by the man. She smiled knotfully as she rubbed the bed, and recalled the moments together with Ryder.
"I'm glad to see you're back to health, Ryder. But somehow there's a sense of tightness in my heart, could it be that I like you?"
