Later that night, Joi invites a girl who she just knew and has been dating for 2 days. Joi takes her to the mansion for dinner together, while looking for a friend for Riri rather not bored dimansion, who knows the girl fits Riri
They're all at the dinner table, just waiting for Joi and the girl
"ma, brother Joi where?", asked Riri
"she's still on her way, she wants to bring a girl tonight and is invited to have dinner with us" said enthusiastic Shila, glad Joi finally started opening up for the girl
"really ma? baby why not tell me, I can dress up first" said Riri staring at Dio
"no need to dress up, baby, you're beautiful" said Dio stroking Riri's hair
"but still dear, there are guests" said Riri rather spoiled
"hahaha my daughter you're so adorable yeah, forget about it and you're Riri, we're just a regular dinner anyway" Hardi said laughing at Riri's behavior
"really pa? all right then", said Riri
"sad, did you intentionally not tell me? since there will be a girl coming here?", asked Riri looking at Dio with her eagle eyes
"that's not what I mean, baby, brother Joi told him to arrive, I just found out", Dio replied rather nervously
"ah.", said Riri nodding his head
"honey, you.. don't think like that, right?", asked Dio to look at Riri, he was afraid that Riri was thinking like that
"you think dear?", Riri said as he looked at Dio with a faint smile on his lips, Dio saw that becoming silent and thought for a moment.
"what's that smile?"
"it's like. that was noon"
"is he going to kill me?",
"ah no, no no no no no baby no"
Joi also came with a girl behind her, everyone stood up to greet her, as well as Riri. But when Riri turned around, he seemed to recognize the posture of the girl behind Joi.
It's similar...
Well, right, Riri's guess is right, it's Ara, the girl who bullied her while she was in school, the girl who snatched her lover first, and also the girl who tried to take him down a few months ago, yes it is, now he again appears in the life of Riri.
Riri's smile that had been sweet and antuias welcomed Joi, now turned into a cold expression full of resentment and anger. Dio looked at Riri who suddenly changed expression
It seems like Riri doesn't like it, who is she?
Ara who saw Riri was not so surprised, she actually smirked, because she already knew that she would meet Riri in this family, it is precisely Ara deliberately wants to trap Riri in her past and make Riri hated by her family-in-law
Suddenly the shadow of the past returned eyes attacking Riri as Ara reappeared before her eyes. But Riri fought it all so as not to look weak, and all his tears had been turned into a sea of vengeful fire that was ready to burn anyone who dared to disturb his calm
Ara smiled at Shila and Hardi, as well as Dio
"haii, finally nyampe too" said Shila
"have you waited a long time?" asked Joi
"so long, what's her name?", asked Shila still smiling with Ara
"Ara auntie", answered Ara
"oo Ara, know me, I'm Joi's mom" Shila shook Ara's hand
"this is Joi's papa" Shila said, introducing Hardi
"this is Joi's sister, Dio", said Shila introducing Dio,
Ara tried shaking hands and smiling at Dio, but she did not reply as she glanced at the conscious Riri and continued to stare intently at Ara. Dio just smiled wryly towards Ara
Damn it
Umpat Ara in heart when Dio does not return his hand
"you took Zidan, do you now want to take mine again?", inner Riri
"nan, if this is Dio's wife, his name is...",
"Karina" said Riri quickly cut off Shila's speech
"i'm Karina", said Riri smiling as sweetly as possible and shaking Ara's hand
"it looks like Riri is crumbling again", Shila's inner
"is it just me who feels that smile is different", inner Hardi
"it's not Riri, my feeling is not good", Joi said
"my name is Karina, call me Karina" said Riri once again
"all right, I'm Ara" said Ara trying to smile
In**i's not like Riri
They sit down and start their dinner after the introduction, this time the menu is Riri's favorite menu. Dinner was held, Ara tried to chat with Shila, while Dio had told Rendi to find out about the girl in front of his eyes
While Riri, continued to focus on her food, then she also opened her mouth and asked Hardi
"papa, I want to ask you something" said Riri arrived, making everyone speechless
"if anyone wants to harm me, will you protect me?", asked Riri looking at Hardi, he looked at Hardi with eyes full of hope and disappointment, Hardi could see and feel the meaning of the gaze
"of course papa will protect you Ri, I've considered you my real daughter, not just my son-in-law, I'm your father now" Hardi said, smiling
"really Ri, we won't let you be touched by anyone, you're our daughter, take it easy baby" Shila said
She's really the queen here, just wait, I'll get you dumped out of here
"thank you papa, mama", said Riri relieved
"honey, I won't let you be touched by anyone, you're my beloved wife, I make sure you're always safe" said Dio, embracing Riri and kissing her forehead
"thank you baby, I love you" said Riri smiling happily
"i love you too" replied Dio
"sister, is brother dear to me?", asked Riri to Joi
"of course I love you, what kind of question is Riri? ever since you were little me and Dio have always loved you" said Joi
"really?", asked Riri
"of course it's true, yes I lied" Joi assured Riri
"is sister going to protect me too?", asked Riri
"of course" Joi replied
"even if the person who is going to harm me is the one you love, will you still protect me?" asked Riri
Joi heard it stop her eating, the speech sounded different, like a wish from inside Riri's heart
"Riri, I will not be selfish by letting you be a victim, I will still protect you even though the culprit is the person I love" said Joi gently staring at Riri
"really? I'm serious" said Riri
"i'm serious too, should I make that a written agreement?", asked Joi
"haha no need, brother, but one day, I will collect your words" said Riri
"alright, of course I'll keep it" said Joi
They continued eating, then Riri made another sound
"ma, Riri wants to ask" said Riri
"yes, baby, what do you want to ask?", asked Shila
"what would you do if one day you ate with a woman who once grabbed your happiness, and you were at a table" Riri said, slicing steak on her plate
Dio thought for a moment, he remembered Fikri's speech when Riri was in a coma yesterday
"is she the girl Fikri meant to be? may I be wrong", Inner Dio
"of course you will go berserk, where maybe you are willing to eat together with such a woman at one table anyway" said Shila
Ara who heard that became choking, she did not expect that Riri still remembered that
Te**that's all she remembers, which woman will forget that, you fool Ara!
"is that really ma? then, should I put the eyeballs on my plate? I really want to do it" said Riri slowly and then sliced the steak on her plate
"then eating it like this", Riri stuck a fork into the piece of steak and put it in his mouth, the fork clashing with his teeth to make a terrible sound
"*does he insinuate me? is that for me?", asked Ara inwardly
"it's obvious Riri doesn't like this girl, but, because of what?", batim Shila
"it's like a threat", inner Hardi
"it seems like my guess is right", Dio's inner
"he is like a person who eats swallowing live life" said Joi*
Riri continued eating
"ma, if I'm in that position, let me do what you're going to do too" Riri said, staring at Shila
"alright, of course you allow" said Shila, she understood what Riri meant
Ara who heard that choked again, she lost her appetite because of Riri. While Riri continued eating very quietly.
Dinner is over, but they will taste the dessert first, then after that will go to the tv room.
"ma, let Riri take the dessert" said Riri
"alright, be careful" Shila said back to her seat
"i'll help, will I?", asked Ara to stand up
"of course I can, I know on purpose, I know you want a caper here", Riri said
"of course, Ara" Riri said emphasizing the word 'Ara'
The two of them headed for the kitchen, Riri in front and Ara in the back, really Riri wanted to kill the girl now, he was getting revenge seeing Ara who dared to appear again in front of his eyes, this time Riri will not let go of the girl again, she will vent all her grudges
