Home For My Soul

191|Berhak Know

We went home quietly, no one was talking. I am indeed quiet. Amaryllis, who usually talks a lot, keeps her mouth shut. He did not stop looking out the car window. Even though his hand returned my grasp, he remained busy with his own thoughts.

When we got home, we went straight to the room. To save time, we cleaned ourselves and changed clothes together. He did not lie on the bed, but sat and leaned on the head of the bed. The clock shows that it is past sleep.

“It is not too late if you want to cancel this plan,” I said, giving advice.

“No.” He shook his head slowly. “Edrick deserves to know and see for himself what Nisa is like. She doesn't deserve to be played like that by the person she loves so much.”

“Gue admitted, I'm surprised Nisa will fall this deep. Why he did not immediately get out of that world also I do not understand.” I sat by his side.

“We just have to wait for the next party schedule from Bastian.” He put his head on my arm. “Most likely next week, because he doesn't do it every week.”

His guess is true. Because Edrick hosts his colleagues out of town, but Nisa doesn't throw or attend any parties. He came with his cousin on the birthday of a big hotel. It's not surprising that we have the same acquaintance.

Rahma and Richo were also present, but they kept their distance. Things I'm grateful for, because I don't like drama. I don't know what the man's plan is so willing to be in a relationship with his sister's enemies. But seeing Amarilis being calm, they must have discussed it.

Enjoying a Sunday night in the crowd is not bad either. We could have dinner together. Most importantly, the food is delicious and free. Nor am I worried about the cleanliness of each of their dishes so that it is safe for my wife. This way, the staff at home can also rest.

Matt came home on Sunday. He and his secret girlfriend are having a fight. It's normal, so I don't listen to his complaints. Only Amarylis was serious about it. He did not know the woman being told.

I chose to check out the restaurant's weekly report. There are some common problems that occur. Some need immediate treatment, the rest can be ruled out. There was a notification of a new message coming in, so I checked it. Email from Antonio.

The old man did not stop bothering me. He who wants to come to visit, even I have to take care of all the accommodations. He also had an assistant secretary there. I felt I had to pay for her help in our marriage for the rest of my life. Underhand.

“What are you doing, baby?” Amaryllis approached and glanced at the tablet screen. “Oh! Antonio! So, when will he arrive here?”

“Why do you ask me. Just ask yourself the same bully. I'm busy.” I closed the e-mail screen to continue checking the report.

He sneered. “Pelit.” When he snorted loudly while crossing his hands in front of his chest, I rubbed his head.

I don't want him to linger in a state of annoyance. The child in the womb will feel. He smiled, turned to me, and then put his head on my arm. This is better. So, I can continue my work calmly.

“Gue glad to see you guys fighting. So, I know that all couples experience it.” Matt sighed in relief, then chuckled.

“Unfortunately you have never seen Ortu fight?” sindirku. “Again, it is not too late to end your relationship. Before you have already love to die, you better leave him.”

“What do you mean? If anyone says divorce Kak Amaryilis, you want?” his reply.

“The woman did not also talk to her parents about her feelings. That's a bad sign, Matt. I don't care if he's heartbroken, what I think is lo. Why are you backstreet, but no future?” my challenge. “Their wedding is later this year, only six months away.”

“We will definitely find the solution. Six months is enough time to convince his parents of our relationship,” he said, stubbornly.

“Means lo?” tanyanya.

“Ending your relationship and see what she does,” I said, giving advice. “If he is serious with you, he will talk to his ort. If not, there are other women out there who would love to. Instead, start approaching those who are single, there is no status. Enough of me who went into a relationship without blessing.”

Matt was finally silent and seemed preoccupied with his own thoughts. Two years is not a short time. I don't want him to spend more time on women who don't want to fight with him. Obviously, she just needs a date, not a boyfriend.

I can't believe his fiancee or his family didn't know about his daring deeds. They know, but they choose silence. I'd rather have a commotion. Instead, their calm attitude was even more dangerous. Because we don't know what they're planning.

The news we were waiting for finally came. Nisa thinks her fiance is going out of town so throw a party on that Friday. I told Edrick about the plan and he just replied okay. Not the kind of answer he usually sends, but I get it.

Amaryllis squeezed firmly her hand that was on her lap. I held her hand to help calm her down. He looked at me and smiled thinly. We have to do this now or the man will suffer forever when he finds out after they get married. He didn't deserve to be hurt by that evil woman.

Bastian greeted us and his face paled to see Edrick coming too. As before, he went into the house first. Once the volume of music was comfortable enough to hear, he came out again to meet us. He smiled nervously.

“Edrick, I didn't know you were coming too,” said. “I think you're out of town.”

“Where is Nisa?” ask, without further ado.

“Ah,” Bastian looking towards inside house, “I don't know for sure. He was still behind.” He looked towards Edrick. “Mari, I'm interracial.”

The people around us did not care about our arrival. They are busy chatting while making out with people nearby. Seeing two people doing that was not a problem for me, but the ones making out in groups made my stomach churn. We need to get out of here fast.

Amaryllis' hand I did not let go in the slightest. This is not a safe place for him. But he does not want to be left at home. He would accompany Edrick to see his fiancee's activities when he was not around. The secret he kept was good all this time.

We arrived at the back, Nisa wasn't there. Only people were eating and ordering drinks at the bar. Since we weren't at their relatives' house, I understood Bastian was a little confused as to where his cousin was.

He checked one by one the rooms downstairs. The situation in each room is different, but they begin to come under the influence of alkohol. Some had already started to take off their clothes, not being embarrassed by the presence of others in the same room.

I saw Amarylis. He looked pale, but shook his head slowly. He still dared to say he was okay with his face barely drained of that blood. But we haven't found Nisa yet, so I can't force her to wait in the car.

Bastian took us upstairs. The corridor there was quieter than on the ground floor. I almost vomited to see the first room containing a group of people who were having forbidden relationships in groups. Edrick forbade me and my wife to peek into the contents of the second room.

“Wait.” I put my hand in front of Edrick's chest. “You better not do this. I'm not strong, let alone you if you see the person you love—”

“Thank you, Theo. But I must see it for myself or I will never believe he can do this cruel thing to me.” He patted my shoulder. “Continue,” he told Bastian.

He did not find Nisa in the third room. It was only in the fourth room that he was stunned for a long time in the doorway. I forbade Amaryllis, but thrust my head towards the room. I could only round my eyes at the sight before me.
