Ritha closed her heart and ears as Bas revealed her entire spiceless sentence for thinking it was sluggish and too long-winded in solving a problem she thought was simple. There was no way to talk about the real problem with her tempramental brother-in-law. Must be thick ears. He doesn't know how to stop Bas from talking.
“Have 2 hours not been done yet? What are you, Rith?” snapped the Bus with a voice as loud as thunder.
“Come back now! I have a lunch appointment with a prospective client.”
“Propay, Mom! It's still 9:30. We wait for Faiz and Blue in 15 minutes. They've been on their way to come here.”
“You're such a soft guy anyway. I told you I can't stay here long. My time is worth it. Do you want to compensate for my lost chance of waiting for you? Hah.”
The ears taste like boiling water. Ritha was only able to respond with a faint smile. Free answered. Any word won't ease Bas's nagging. In fact, maybe the high blood is getting up uncontrollably and the talk that comes out more and more contains the element of fire.
“Just relax, mas Bas. Sit first! Drink coffee while enjoying the natural scenery here. Buses rarely come here. I still want to miss you. Besides, if Faiz had been to school in Jakarta, Lily would have been more and more confused with Ritha. You guys will definitely visit here less and less.” woo Lily with her gentle smile.
“You are younger. You should have come to Jakarta to visit us. Not us who visited you.” denied Bas while pointing with his index finger right on Lily's face that spontaneously stroked the chest due to his actions.
It is true what Bas said. But not so many times either. The brothers had to visit each other for the relationship to get closer.
“My stomach can bloat most coffee. Potang-about the coffee manager, from earlier offered coffee only.”
Lily smiled spoiled. Waging the seduction of his dark island with a spoiled sound that was as gentle as the whirling of the wind. “Kak Bas want milk kampung?”
“What is village milk? His name is kampungan, what attracts him.” The bus still replied with a harsh tone and a sour look.
“Eh. Don't mistake. We have a special village milk from the best Jampang coffee blend mixed with pure goat milk. It is called the village milk of Jampang Kulon. Our village milk mix is now a best seller in cafes. Mas Bas should try.”
Bus did not immediately reproach, meaning he was quite curious or interested in Lily's offer to taste the latest best seller products. Ritha was able to breathe a little more freely after her sister-in-law stopped talking for a while.
“Pak Nana, please take the milk of the village of Jampang kulonnya 3 bottles of a liter size yes. The 2 bottles please packed frozen.” Lily ordered her employees to get her best-seller product.
“Sit down first dong, Mas Bas! Do not be mostly angry, later high blood. Life must be relaxed, so as not to easily hit high blood that leads to stroke. ABG's son is now a bit difficult to manage. It's not Ritha's fault they haven't got here. From earlier Ritha's sister has called them many times.” Lily tried to explain gently and calmly as a neutral party.
The bus sat with lips still pouting.
Shortly thereafter Blue and Faiz were seen coming from the same direction.
“Hei, Boy. Cepetan!” shouting Bus. The dandy-looking man immediately stood up and waved his hand to have the teenager they were waiting for heed his orders. His face looked fierce like a tiger ready to go berserk.
The two teenagers ran over quickly.
“Ngapain is a long time ago?”
Bus glared and rebuked him with a voice louder than thunder, “Ngapain you follow pamit, Hah.”
“From now on I will stay at Satya mas house in Jakarta and school there.” Blue replied with an innocent face and an expanding smile, not knowing that the answer would get a bad response from her brother.
Ritha waits for what Bas will do to the two teenagers.
“Schools in Jakarta? Why do you follow the school in jakarta.”
“So nemenin Faiz school.”
“Nemenin Faiz school? Is Faiz afraid to go to school alone? Faiz is a man and big. It does not need to be won, let alone managed with you. If he needs an escort, his father can pay a body guard.”
Emm, then Ritha has to put up a body. It's impossible to tell the real reason to the Bus
obviously don't like his youngest brother. “I asked for Blue stay at home and Mas Satya has agreed.”
“Ngapain you bring this damn child to Menteng's house? He's the son of a bad-ass actor in our family. It could be bankrupt our business if you keep him at Menteng's house. You should know since the actor entered the Menteng house, papa's business plummeted and left a lot of debt. Goldlight nearly went bankrupt because her mother's family was corrupt and involved in a bribery case at Goldlight Energy. He's the offspring of the unlucky carrier.”
Ritha hugged Blue. “All babies are born in a state of holiness. Nobody's fucking bringing it, Mom. Blue is our sister. He has been orphaned since birth. Our responsibility is to love and protect her.”
“True. I've been taking care of Blue for almost 17 years. As Bas knows, our business is not bankrupt. Profit loss every year should rise and fall. The name of the business must have dynamics, Mas. Blue can't be fucking. The orphan actually brought blessings.” defend Lily with her weak voice. In his heart there was a slight sense that asked him to justify Bas's allegations. The seedlings already exist. The proof is secretly Blue loves her sister's own husband.
Ritha looked at Lily who in her heart must be filled with jealousy and anger at her youngest sister. Lucky Lily is pretty good at emotional control. He solved the problem through his supposed path and with a cold head.
“I'm not looking after him. I'm not sure he's my brother.”
Ritha tightened her embrace on Blue's body and stroked the teenage girl's back gently. “Don't hear what mas Bas says, Bi! His mouth contained a grenade. Calm down! You will live with Satya's family. Believe that! We will always love and protect you,” whispered by Blue ears so that his heart is stronger.
Blue nodded without a word. Eyes glazed. Heart's wounded. The accusations and reproaches of the Bus are very painful. The girl tried to look tough with her brother's reproach that holds anger and revenge on her biological mother who now knows where she is. Buses are so outrageous.
“Blue will stay with us.”
“Make sure he doesn't set foot in my house.”
Bas's eyeballs almost popped out as he stared at Ritha ferociously. A moment later turned to stare at Blue with a menacing look. “You will receive a severe punishment if you step foot in my house. Remember that! I don't even hesitate to kill you.”
“There is no need to threaten the kids, Mas. I make sure Blue will just set foot in our house.”
“Ya, Blue promise will only set foot in the house of sister Satya aja.” Blue raised her right hand and revealed her white palms to her brothers along with the light of her eyes that looked at her brother's eyes one by one.
