"How long have you known Kalandra?"
The deg!
The on point question that made Kayka's heart stop beating for a few seconds.
His chest felt tight because he was holding his breath. Too soon the question came out. The old woman did not even make small talk.
Kayla was suspicious, this old woman before her already knew about their marriage, but just pretended not to know.
The printer of Rajaswa descent was waiting for Kayla's answer. Not pushy, even tend to wait patiently until Kayla speaks.
"I and Mas Kalandra have known each other for the past year, Oma." Kayla replied without a doubt, because somehow Kayla was sure Oma could read the contents of someone's heart even from her expression.
"Included by the CEO of the company I work for."
"Pak Jendra Dewandaru, from Dewandaru Group."
"You work there?" ask Oma.
Kayla nodded steadily. There is no doubt. He just needs to lie a little according to the scenario he and Kalandra agreed upon earlier.
"Yes, I've worked there for 3 years, Oma."
"And only this month did I get a job as CEO secretary."
Oma was silent for a moment and smiled faintly. "What's your goal in marrying Kalandra?"
Wow, what a great question oma. Of course to help your granddaughter from the very gil* news. Or maybe it's true that your granddaughter is a little not straight so she married me to cover up her disgrace. I didn't know it myself until this point. Inner Kayla.
Kayla smiled wryly. "Honestly, I'm ashamed to admit this."
"But, I'll answer, Oma." Kayla sighed.
"This is for the good name of Mas Kalandra."
Okay, Oma didn't respond to anything. Even his expression was still flat.
"Gossip in the media is becoming more and more Oma. I'm worried that Mas Kalandra is falling. Because that rumor had a very bad impact on the company."
"Oma must also know, if Mas Kalandra definitely does not want the company to go bankrupt in his hands."
"We finally decided to get married."
"The thing I always rejected before."
Oh my God, Oma still hasn't reacted? Okay Kayla. Don't freak.
"You know, if her late father Kalandra wants her to get married soon?"
Kayla was silent and shook her head. "No Oma."
"Mas Kalandra is the type of person who is not open."
"He rarely told me about his family."
"Even after marriage, I felt deceived..."
"Tiped?" Oma frowned. Maybe he felt Kayla was too impudent to accuse Kalandra of deceiving the woman in front of him.
"I thought, after marriage we'd only live together." Kayla's eyes started to glaze over on their own.
"But, it turns out that our marriage was so awaited by the greedy people in this house!" Kayla deliberately said this because she was convinced, Oma is not the one who supports Gia and Riana.
"Eh. sorry oma." Kayla looked down pretending to be afraid of Oma for calling the words greedy people.
"Continue your story!" oma command with flat expression.
"The will of the deceased is read."
"Mas Kalandra should be the head of the household in this house, and the leader in the company."
"It's far from the shadow of the future that I have in mind, Oma." Kayla shed tears.
What he said was honest from the bottom of his heart. He felt trapped in this marriage. He did not expect, married to Kalandra not only to dismiss gossip, but also to deal with problems in his family that is not harmonious. Things that are not at all in the agreement but he must face.
But that was Kayla, she never backed down with the decisions she had already taken. Being Kalandra's wife means also being part of her family. Bail all risks of being the wife of a Rajaswa heiress even if only in a contract marriage.
"I must be at home with my mother-in-law and brother-in-law who blatantly reject my presence."
Kayla wiped her tears, and smiled slightly. "I didn't expect it to be Kalandra Rajaswa's wife."
"You haven't been invited to meet this family before?"
Kayla shakes. "I'm not ready, Oma."
"Where were you when Kalandra's father died?"
"I was outside the house, joining the other mourners."
Yes, this time it was true. Kayla was in this house when Bagas Rajaswa died. He and his team will meet outside the office. And one of his friends had to meet Jendra who was serving to retrieve important documents that were in their Boss' car.
"Why do you want to marry Andra while you don't know her family? Isn't that stupid?"
The deg!
Oma right, I was too stupid because I felt that the important points in the agreement were already very profitable for me. Turns out I was wrong.
Kayla was silent for a moment. "Because I know Mas Kalandra's a good man. And I believe him."
"Then after this, what will you do?"
"Nothing." Answer Kayla steady. "I'll go through it all. Where the flow of life takes me."
"You feel at home living with your brother-in-law and in-laws like you said?"
When is Oma. Don't let the questions keep going around in circles until I'm wrong and everything is revealed. Divorced after a year will turn into divorced after a week.
"I don't care about them, Oma! As long as they're not playing physically and they're not psychopaths, I don't think I should be afraid."
"Replying on their every satire, I think I'm still capable."
"Mas Kalandra also advised, not to serve them if I don't want to."
"Mas Kalandra also didn't allow me to start first."
"Until when will you survive if you continue to be oppressed?"
Kayla smiled faintly. "Come on Oma."
"Mas Kalandra definitely won't let me continue to be cornered."
"Are you sure it was your husband?" ask Oma.
Kayla nodded. Just be careful that he can't guarantee my safety in this house. I'm gonna take it all out in front of a lot of people. He's the one who brought me into this difficult situation, so he's also in charge of me.
"Now out! Oma's gonna take a break!"
Kayla nodded. "I'll excuse you, Oma."
"If you need anything, please call me."
"Hem.."
Kayla came out of that room. He slowly opened the door again and as he was walking two steps, his hand was suddenly pulled by someone.
Kayla who was initially surprised suddenly became upset because it turned out that Kalandra was pulling her hand.
"What's up, Mom?" kayla asked a little whisper.
"We need to talk, Kay!"
They immediately walked to the room. And that did not go unnoticed by Riana and Gia.
"Look, Ma! It looks like there will be a third world war if his wife's gemb*el misspoke to Oma!" whispered Gia to her in-laws.
Riana smiled with satisfaction. "That's for sure."
"We'll see later. Whether Kayla will be scolded by Andra for speaking carelessly to Oma or Oma who will be angry at Andra for choosing a future wife without seeing her background first."
Both smiled with satisfaction.
"Why do you always want to get Kayla in trouble?"
The heavy and flat voice made the two of them turn their heads.
"Mas!" greet Gia as she sees Reyga appear behind them. "You just arrived?"
"Oma's resting in the room."
Reyga returns home to meet Oma, though she is late. He was sure the woman would understand his condition.
"Don't look for it, Gia!" Reygah did not respond to Gia's remarks.
"I won't help you if Brother Andra does something bad to you."
"And one more thing. Kayla is so much better than you!" Reygya walked into the room.
Gia rounded her eyes. He praised Kayla?
"Mas! wait!" Gia chases Reyga into the room.
