Has Been Hanged
12. Brought To the Villa
Sunday morning was bright, but it felt cloudy and gray..
The girl with a natural and elegant hooded face was moping very durja. Sitting on the living room couch with no one nearby. Only Lusi was the only person who always accompanied. That is what the girl wants.
"Ratria, be patient.. You're still mad at me, huh,?" mbak Lusi feels guilty.
However, his position was wrong. After the boss of Jacob died, of course the new person who deserves his service is the boss of Shahdan. Because the man still wants his strength. So even though it is not detailed, Mbak Lusi will be honest if asked and asked something by Mr. Shahdan about Ratria.
"No more, ma'am. I understand your position," Ratria said, clinging to the soft wet wipes in her moist eye line.
"Thank you for your understanding, Rat. Come on, it's Mr. Andi's coming. All of them taken,?" tanya mbak Lusi while carrying Ratria's arm to stand up. Ratria nodded.
Mr. Andi had already informed Mbak Lusi if he would take them from the official house to be taken to the villa. Preparation of the marriage contract of the boss of the factory with Ratria will be carried out after the ceremony in the villa with a very closed. And that was also at Ratria's own request.

Besides being busy in the back end kitchen, Ratria was the only woman sitting tensely on the sofa. Surrounded by some men who have been paid dearly by Shahdan to come to the villa. Except for Haris' lawyer, the man hasn't seen his arrival.
They are civil servants as well as KUA who take care of all forms of documents and premarital requirements. Before the official marriage contract is really done at a time that has been agreed before.
The administrative affairs as well as the documents with the civil and religious employees had been completed in a fairly short period of time. Just answer a few easy questions and end up with a few signatures.
They say goodbye after a brief meeting with the groom-to-be. As well as touching drinks and some dishes prepared instantly by mbak Lusi. The woman is indeed a fan of instant food, including various ingredients and variations of frozen foods.
"Rat, you rest first. The show finished isya. The MUA people came out of Maghrib. Come on, take you to your private room," said Lusi standing beside Ratria as the guests had pulled over from the villa, and there was nothing left.
"Yes, ma'am," said Ratria quickly with a nod of his head.
Very do not want to meet face-to-face with Shahdan. Lazy to talk about any discussion with him. Feeling all will be useless if you talk to a dictator like a Shahdan boss.
The man was still with Mr. Andi on the porch and was talking.
And the silent cry only stopped after his eyes closed tightly because of fatigue and sleep.
The new bride-to-be awakens when the adzan dzuhur sayup is heard from the mushola housing service, nun far below. A little later the door of his room was knocked by mbak Lusi. Take him to lunch after the dzuhur prayer.
Sister Lusi while stalling the prayer mat and a pair of face up under the soft white color and very fragrant smell. Ratria did not want to ask at all, whether the mukena was new, who owned it or also bought it where. Ratria's mouth felt sticky and did not want to open.
Sitting down to face Him after the last prostration, enough to make Ratria calm down. Trying to surrender and not be prejudiced at all His powers and provisions, making his heart cool, airy and comfortable. There was a passion and hope for the future in his eyes. Trying to be sure if the prospective husband is not a bad man or not a greedy man. Now, that pretty face was starting to look dull.
Feeling quite a surprise. Besides Shahdan, a very handsome man who gives pain when viewed, has been sitting quietly stepfather and mother there. Smiling as the damp-eyed girl came to join in and stared wistfully at them. Ratria replied by moving the tip of her lips slightly but it was not a smile.
"Oh, you've come, have you,?" greet Ratria with a voice that could not be covered over her cloud. And the mother nodded.
"Yes,Rat. When your father came, you were sleeping. I'm out of your room again" said her mother. Wanted to see the happy look on Ratria's face.
I feel so guilty this time. Didn't expect if he agreed to the big boss a dozen years ago, tonight would be repeated once again. And that makes Fatimah's mother must cry in her heart, her daughter did not feel willing and happy at all.
"Really, buk,? I'm sorry, I'm insensitive to my mother's arrival in my room." Ratria greeted with a smile. Her pretty face started to brighten again. Throwing a smile at his stepfather as well.
"Yes, Rat. Its alright. Mr. Andi was told by Mr. Shahdan who came to pick us up at home" explained his mother. Glanced at Shahdan who just looked down with food on the plate.
"Then, as long as I sleep. Where are you going, buk,?" ratria asked felt bad for her mother.
"Sir Shahdan invited mom and dad to talk on the terrace of the villa" said the mother with a face of sumringah.
Ratria thought and was convinced. It could be in their conversation, the boss of the factory gave good news or a grandiose promise for his mother and for his father.
And Ratria fell silent, no longer asking. Restless, do not want to hear if the mother actually began to give flattery to the forced man who sat there calm.
