Conquering Boss Killer
Laila and Ridho Part 1
Laila and Radit return to the hotel with lethargic faces.
“Big hell, Mr. Ridho's dear sister,” Radit murmur considering the incident in the mansion owned by his biological father's parents.
Laila did not focus on hearing the babbling of the son. He was just engrossed in his own thoughts. Laila recalls the incident in the house, when she saw Andira coming home with her husband. An hour later, Laila and Radit wait for her ex-sister-in-law to come home.
“Flashback
Andira looked at Laila and Radit as she stood up to welcome the arrival of the house. However, Andira instead looked at Laila with a difficult gaze. The look between knowing or not knowing.
“There's guests. Who is it?” ask Andira's husband who is named Good.
Good indeed did not know Laila, because Andira was only married after Ridho left his wife and child.
“Dir, still inget me right?” ask Laila.
Andira remained silent. Honestly, he actually still recognized the face even though he had not met for twenty years.
“I Laila, ex-wife of Mas Ridho.”
Suddenly, Good was surprised. “Mas Ridho?”
Andira turned her head towards Bagus as if hinting not to interfere.
“What are you looking for my brother? Didn't you live well with your ex-boyfriend?”
“Former girlfriend?” laila asked not to understand.
“Halah, pretend stupid,” Andira said again. “I still remember once, when my sister was frustrated to see you two with your ex-boyfriend in the room.”
Laila was confused. He turned to look at Radit who was staring at him. Then, Laila shook her head as if talking to Radit that it was not true.
Andira turned to Radit. “This is your son? Whose son are you from? Your ex-boyfriend is yes?”
“Jaga your mouth, Dira! I'm not here to look for enemies or fight with you.” Laila began to get upset with all the accusations of her former sister-in-law.
He never got along with Andira, because in addition to ketus, Ridho's younger brother was always looking for a bad gap Laila, as if Laila was not worthy of being with her brother.
“I came here looking for Mas Ridho because Bilqis is getting married. I'd like to ask for her responsibilities as guardian for her biological daughter.”
Andira laughed at Laila's words. “Turns need only, new here.”
“Tante, can't be polite to my Mother. Mother never separated us from Mr. Ridho's distinguished family, but Mr. Ridho's own family who never accepted our presence.” Ridho begins to be provoked emotions and defend his mother.
“Basic kuang ajar son, call his own father aja Mr. Ridho. Basic upbringing of villagers!” hardik Andira's.
“Ma, don't be angry! Keep up the tension Mama!” said the man beside Andira.
“I don't know where my brother is now. She left after you hurt her,” Andira said again.
“I hurt? Not reversed? Mas Ridho who left me for that woman.” Laila defended herself. “Mas Ridho could have left me when I had young children. Even Radit was only two years back then.”
“Because you started. You cheated on your ex-boyfriend who was the AC guy.”
Laila scrunched her forehead.
“Ac?” he murmured in his heart while digesting Andira's words.
Is there a misunderstanding here? The misunderstanding is unfinished after more than twenty years because when Ridho left, Laila no longer set foot in this place, or find out about the whereabouts of her husband.
Laila thought, Ridho still loves his ex-lover and his first love and chose to be with the woman, so that Laila no longer looked back and only focused on her two children who were very small at that time.
“You know. The late Papa knows, and all your family knows that Mas Ridho also married his ex-girlfriend while I was pregnant with Bilqis. Only I know after four years. And you said I cheated? Crazy family!” laila said annoyed.
Then, Laila immediately pulled Radit's hand. “Come, Dit! We home. Sorry you came here. Better we do directly use the judge or you alone become your sister's guardian.”
“Hei, wait!” yell Andira. “Nak only, you said my family is crazy.”
Laila and Radit got up and left the house.
Good who knew nothing just turned his head towards his wife and the two guests. “Ma, what the hell is this? I don't understand. Who is he?”
Andira was silent and just folding both her hands on her chest with a gasp of breath set the emotion.
“Flashback off
Radit turned to look at the mother who was crying. They were still in a taxi to the hotel.
“Bu,” call Radit down on his mother. He doesn't know exactly what happened.
When his father leaves him, Radit is convinced that his mother is innocent. Her mother was just being slandered by people who didn't like her.
“Why is Mother's life like this, Dit?” Laila's crying.
Radit put up his chest. The reliable boy hugged the mother.
“So all this time, your father's family thought it was Mom who cheated on you? And they all know that your father remarried to his lover. Even Mom just found out after giving birth to you.”
Laila was crying in Radit's chest. Radit stroked the mother's back to calm her.
“Mommy does have an ex-boyfriend who lives in Jakarta. He is an AC service worker and I met him again when he cleaned our house AC, replacing his friend who used to be a subscription to Mother.” Laila loosened her arms and looked at her son's face to straighten out what Andira had said earlier. Laila was worried that Radit would be indoctrinated with Andira's bad words.
“That time, you were only eight months old. Mom's ex-boyfriend cleaned the AC in Mom's room. Then, the lights off, it turns out that the neighbor said there was a temporary blackout. He undressed her and Mom into the room to give her a cold drink because it was so hot.”
“Did your father see Mom and her in the room and think Mom did something with him?” laila asked Radit after telling him what Andira was accused of.
Fortunately, Radit was already a grown man. He was sure that the son would not swallow the words of his tant.
Radit nodded. “Maybe.”
“Because after that, your father didn't come home. Two weeks your father died us and came back just to get his stuff. Then, go to this time.” Laila was crying again.
“Mom doesn't know, Dit. If I had known that your father was angry about the incident. I will definitely explain to her that what she saw was not true.”
Radit nodded. “Ya, indeed. Sometimes what we see is not entirely what happens.”
Radit remembers a woman he liked in High School. What Ridho and Lail experienced at that time, also Radit and the woman who had just one week made her boyfriend was natural. Radit was once in Ridho's position, caught the girlfriend wet with her ex-boyfriend, then Radit immediately asked to break up. Behind, Radit meets the woman and finds out her case. But, it all happened. Her ex-boyfriend from High School is now married.
“Now, where is that guy, Mom?” radit asked, as soon as they got to the hotel and were about to take the elevator.
“Who?” Laila asked back.
“That AC guy?”
Laila shrugged her shoulders. “Where mom knows. Our communication was only when he cleaned the AC that day and that was just one time. Mom also doesn't know where she is now because Mom never thought about her.”
Radit smiles. Yeah, all because of a misunderstanding. But the misunderstanding is increasingly becoming because many people around the father who does not like his mother, plus the father was not only have Laila as a wife.
Trings
Elevator door opens. Radit told her to come out first and she followed. Then, Radit shrugged his mother's shoulders.
“What matters now Mom is happy right? There I am the same sister Qis who will always make Mom happy.”
Laila was moved and hugged her son's waist. He nodded. “Yes, happy mother. let alone your sister will get married.”
“Then, tomorrow we go straight home. There is no need to look for the beloved Mr. Ridho because his own family covered his existence. Let Radit be the guardian of Mbak Qis.”
Laila smiled. “True, you want?”
Radit nodded. “Yes, though heavy with that responsibility. How else would you like? Means from now on Sholat Radit can not be perforated?”
“You want to be a guardian or not. Your prayers should not be condescending, Radit.” Laila looked annoyed.
Radit grinned as his mother slapped his shoulder.
