Next day
There were footsteps echoing in the hallway towards the favilium occupied by Sariel. Some of the servants looked terrified at the aura emanating from the half-century-old woman's face. Plus with his quick steps. No one dared to just greet him, let alone stop his hasty steps. It could be those who greet him who will be affected.
Rohana's hand moved strongly pushing the door of Sariel's room. He went inside without permission to the master who was still sleeping in his place. His face looked blackened with an extremely frightening aura. Even his eyes were staring intently at Sariel who was still sleeping on her bed. Always so, women who feel useless at all.
"Sariel! wake up!!!"
Rohana shouted loudly and threw the blanket that covered half Sariel's body onto the floor. He looked at Sariel with a burning aura. Making Sariel who opened her eyes shocked half to death. Because of the unusual apparition of Rohana came to him to the favilium.
"Where were you yesterday!?" ask Rohana directly. Can't suppress his anger.
Sariel who was still in a semi-conscious state looked confused. He tried to digest the question of the middle-aged woman standing in front of him. Fortunately, he did not curse because he was surprised. He thought all of this was just his nightmare.
"Java!"
Sariel jumped back. His mind returned to the real world when he heard Rohana's shrill cry. Always this way, his life is now really not calm, especially if Rohana covers it to the favilium.
"Just work."
"Don't lie to you! There is unemployment like you work. Don't dream in the middle!" he shouted still with glaring eyes. Rohana really looked furious with Sariel's reply.
Sariel was silent again. He did not understand Rohana's direction. I don't know what other mistakes will be made to him.
"I didn't lie to my mom. I really worked yesterday" he said slowly after fully waking up.
Rohana was grieving once more, looking down at Sariel lightly.
"I don't believe you anyway. You could have secretly gone out and met a guy out there looking for money. That's what you call work!"
Rohana growled with Sariel's attitude, who refused to admit it and always shook her head in protesting Rohana's words.
The middle-aged woman's eyes moved scanning the room occupied by Sariel. Looks comfortable and quite meets the standards. With a neatly arranged item inside. His eyes moved again to look at Sariel who was still in her position.
"You're good at lying. But you can't cover up that reality with your lies. Especially now that your finances are running low. I'm sure that you're out there just shaming the dignity of our family by working to sell yourself!" press Rohana exhaled his coarse breath. His index dived right in front of Sariel's eyes. A sense of rage was increasingly exploding in his chest.
"What's your mama talking about? Yesterday I did work but not sell myself." Firmly brave while looking at Rohana who still did not believe it.
"I really believe you, huh?" half bought eyes.
"Where is a job interested in you. Even if there is, at most your work is just lazy like now."
It was obvious that the woman was underestimating Sariel's words. Rohana's eyes again moved staring around the room occupied by Sariel. It is simple but looks a little fancy.
"Then why now there is a foreign man standing in front of the main house door. And he's looking for you! Can you explain it?" review Rohana with a waistline.
"Maybe that man has slept with you!" gerrutu annoyed.
"Then, what are you about Evan who is your fiancee? You want to get wrath from your father" he threatened later.
"Or you want to bankrupt our family because of your mistake to beat Evan up" he said.
"Owh... Or you're not satisfied with just one man." Rohana ruffled waist.
Sariel was silent again, not wanting to respond to Rohana's words without pause. He tried to guess the stranger who was looking for him. Honestly, he does not know the outside world and has friends or people he knows out there.
"Who?" The beanas suddenly, upset Rohana.
"Oh... So you've already admitted it?"
Sariel shook his head slowly to dismiss the accusations leveled against him. It was obvious that Rohana was very upset with him.
"I never said that."
"Then why does he know about you. If you didn't meet him last night, then who!?"
Rohana again snorted when he saw Sariel's face that looked innocent and without any sin.
"And remember! your monthly allowance I cut because I let a foreign man come to our residence! Nah! But our residence!" Press it again.
Rohana turned around leaving Sariel who was pecking at his place haughtily.
Sariel screech does not like to see the haughty style of his stepmother but he does not care about any talk that comes out of the mouth of the woman as long as it is not related to her monthly rations. Monthly ration? As if aware of everything, Sariel moved from her seat to fall to the floor.
"Ma! Wait ma! Why was my money cut again? Didn't mom cut half?" Sariel's shout made rohana turn happy to see Sariel who looked helpless.
"Absolutely. Your monthly money will mama cut in half. So, you only get a quarter of the full."
Again, Rohana turned back around with a slanted smile imprinted on her face. He was completely satisfied to see the disappointed and sad look on Sariel's face.
"And you don't have to meet the kingpin!" he said while slamming the door hard as if able to release the hinge.
***
Rohana's steps are getting faster at the steps of the stairs in front of him. Entering the main house through the door that is next to the main mansion. Walk towards the living room to meet the young man who had been waiting to meet Sariel.
"Sariel is not in place! Looks like he's out with his fiancee!" Rohana stared haughtily at the young man in front of her who was almost the same age as Nino.
"out?" the young man muttered as if he could not believe Rohana's words just now. He knew Sariel well, how could the young woman have fun out there as Rohana had said. He only has one friend, himself. Even the man did not know that Sariel had been betrothed to someone else.
"Is Aunt sure she's out?" Andre stared doubtfully at Rohana who snorted cynically at him. Even the woman's eyes moved judging her appearance from head to toe. Andre believes that his appearance is fairly simple as it is now must have been mistaken by Rohana who has always looked at him cynically since. After all, this was the first time they had met in person.
"of course. Don't you know that Sariel is my son" Rohana said as if he knew better than anyone.
"But... Auntie..."
Rohana's eyes immediately glared, not liking to hear the young people who felt wayward.
"Do I look like I'm lying!" upset mouth. Rohana grumbled as she turned her eyes. His eyes moved towards the door, after hearing Leni's cry that had just come. The woman, who was a year younger than Sariel, looked great on her own. Followed by a driver behind him who carries a lot of grocery bags.
"Mama! I'm home!!" her screams shrieked as she ran over to Rohana who seemed to welcome her enthusiastically.
"I had been shopping for some clothes that were new to the trend lately" he said, hugging Rohana and peeping the woman's cheeks alternately. He was completely unaware of Andre's whereabouts.
Leni immediately turned around after hearing someone's deheman. His eyes instantly widened and sparkled. He closed his mouth as if he could not believe what he had just seen.
"Sister Andre!" pekiknya happy while pouting his sweet smile. He looked at Andre who was already standing from his seat.
"Sorry Auntie, it looks like I'm going home now!"
Leni was surprised to hear it, she swung her lips in dislike. Glanced for a moment at Rohana who already seemed to be sweating coldly for treating the man arbitrarily.
"Eh. Why do you want to go home now? Didn't Andre's brother come here looking for Leni huh?" he said with confidence.
Leni again glared at Rohana who was just silently pecking at her place.
Rohana did not think that Leni would be sweet to the man she considered to be dirty. Even his son looks very fond of the man named Andre.
"Ma, introduce. His name is Andre, he's a friend of Leni's son Om Bagas the owner of Santos Group!"
Rohana again bought his eyes to hear the words of Leni. Where there are people who do not know the businessman named Bagas. He is the richest businessman in Kalimantan after Karamunting company.
Rohana quickly grabbed Andre's body and patted him slowly on the shoulder. Closer his mouth to Andre's ear.
"I'm sorry for Aunt's disrespectful attitude towards you" she whispered softly. He can only be heard by Andre. He turned back away from himself.
"If Auntie knew you were Leni's precious friend, where perhaps Aunt would make you wait so long like that" she said sweetly, inversely proportional to her initial attitude.
Leni frowned hearing it. " So, Andre's been waiting for Leni, ma?" ask Leni spoiled. He moved closer to Andre who had only been quiet since then. Judging the two women in front of him.
"I'm not really a__"
"Ah. Yes dear. Mama thinks you will be long ago home so mama just let it earlier she moved to want to go home," said Rohana cutting quickly Andre's speech. However, he must get Andre's heart for Leni, not for Sariel who does not know in the profit.
"How about we eat together?" rohanas pleases the face.
Andre seemed to object, several times he put away Leni's hand that continued to wrestle spoiled in his arm. He was really uncomfortable with the two fox women in front of him.
"Sorry Aunt, I can't meet Aunty's invitation to eat together" he said, which immediately made Rohana's face look unhappy. But he still wears a sweet smile that looks very forced.
Andre's eyes moved looking at Leni who was still hugging him. He did not like it when the shameless woman said that she was his close friend.
"Oh yes Leni. I didn't come here to look for you or to see you, "Andre put away Leni's hand that was still on her arm. The woman was speechless to hear it, obeying Andre's will to let go of her hand.
"I'm here to see Sariel!" Andre's eyes moved looking at Rohana's face that looked stiffened. The woman gulped her saliva rough.
"He said to go for a walk with his fiancee" he said.
"So, don't ever get along and get along with me. Our relationship isn't that close."
Leni growled at hearing that. He felt upset and could not accept the words of Andre just now. It was always Sariel who was lucky.
"I'm sorry, Auntie!"
Andre moves away from Rohana and Leni who seem annoyed at him. Rohana sat back in place looking at Leni who was still stomping her feet.
"Leni! Don't act like that. Sit down!" his orders made Leni turn around and immediately throw her body just about anywhere on the sofa.
"Ma, I don't like it when Andre meets Sariel. Luckily his life was surrounded by rich men like Andre, "grunts annoyed.
"Even he's already been betrothed to Evan. Especially the lack of try?" said annoyed.
"You just calm down. As long as you still manage this house, you will take care of Sariel. So, you don't have to be afraid and worry."
Leni was excited to hear it. He stood up and embraced his mother. Hugged the woman tightly. He was sure that whatever the woman would do would definitely work.
"Thank you mommy, she's the best!"
