KARIN(Her Time of Retaliation)
#39/Bad with Uncle Jordan.
"Drink it" sodor Pratama handed over the coffee seals to Jordan, Jordan the mangosteen mangosteen. "Thank you brother" said Jordan slowly, sipping the coffee given with pleasure.
Talks still haven't started, the room's Ac started sweeping the wind around. The night became cold, the two men without anyone else here, enjoying the cool air in this quiet living room.
"Sorry if it makes you unable to sleep" Pratama said. Jordan who is still not connected only displays a flat face, does not know what to reply to his sister-in-law's words.
"For the commotion... You shouldn't have been involved. It's all my fault, I'm sorry Jordan, that you're troubled by all the problems in this family"
Pratama's speech made her smile clumsy, she just displayed a row of thin teeth curved upwards with a feeling that also comes with guilt.
"Wow don't have to be so. I am also guilty of not helping. Though I am your family, you should not be guilty to me. I'm not troubled, just scared... Just like the lady in front of me. But I really do not feel the hassle really, I am even happy if I can help as much as I can" explained Jordan.
Pratama wiped his coffee to the end, sighing with relief "I just don't want any trouble in this family. All the trouble came so fast that I didn't realize it. I'm so careless"
Jordan interrupted his brother's words. "It's not brother's fault. It's the woman's fault, she's the one who should be mistaken. Brother does not need to be guilty in this case, this is all fate." sela Jordan does not want anyone to be mistaken in all the new events.
Although Jordan had said so, he still cursed his fate. "That's it... I don't really know what else to talk to you about. I want to ask you something but maybe not, forget it" Pratama began to stand up, Jordan who is increasingly asking questions over this situation blocking his brother-in-law with his right hand.
"If anything is spoken of it can be spoken of now brother. It's okay, I don't have anything else important tonight" Jordan said.
The Primary answer was just a smile, the man returned to his seat again. Staring at his sister-in-law's two eyeballs carefully.
"I want to ask, how was your life with Adriana first?. I heard you had another sister, you know where your sister was before my wife?" pratama asked without any reply from Jordan, even Jordan did not know where his first brother was.
"I don't know what I remember when we were left alone at home with mom. I also don't remember the same face, voice, and body. Anyway, we're not his family anymore, that's years ago. We try to try to forget it, so as not to become a seriousness" sad that feels so washed away.
Pratama more guilty have asked the life of his sister-in-law who of course the answer must be so very sad.
"sorry. I want to ask you again, you used to have a father, right? The father my wife said adopted you as a child. Now where's your dad?after my wedding day, I didn't meet her, what's her name? I forgot about my father-in-law" asked Pratama, who went into further silence.
"Rex's Dad? He's been declared dead" Jordan's great-grandson on his grounds, which should have been an answer from his sister-in-law he didn't know at all. Rex's father or his first brother, he did not understand anymore with those who instead just disappeared like swallowed by the earth without any news at all.
Now Pratama more furrowed his eyebrows down, he even more makes his sister-in-law become sad. With the heart beating fast he will solve all this quickly.
"I'm sorry then... Here I just clean it up. You just sleep in the room, sorry to make you sad"
As he wanted to stand up while carrying 2 empty glasses in his hand, he was instead intercepted once again by his sister-in-law. "Mas Pratama, I can ask everything" when going to ask something, his speech was cut.
"There's no time! It's 11 o'clock. Tomorrow if there's no interest!" Pratama passed through Jordan's hand that blocked her just like that, she instantly fell silent on the spot.
He remembered the moment last night, when someone asked.
"ARE YOU REALLY THE SON OF THE PRATAMA FAMILY???PLEASE ANSWER!!!"
He heard that from the reporters, what does that mean? Indeed, he knew that Karin's parents were well known in the audience there. But why would anyone say they're hiding a child? It does not make sense, the rich should want their children known by others, right? even world. Not only their parents, but their children.
Although Karin has grown up many do not know her, she thought many already know Karin Ariana. But no, he was curious to ask his sister-in-law something about their son.
His intentions he undo, tomorrow also not so he asked. Let nature tell you all, her body is tired. He is very sleepy, this is all because Salsa is as delicious as its build. Sia wasted just now she went out but can't what.
"Why did you hide Karin from the public. Want to ask earlier but Pratama mas in a hurry. Sister Adriana must also not be able to answer, if Karin does not know? Yes in vain I asked here. Let me also later I know for myself" after that in my heart, standing up from his sitting rushed to the room.
☀️
The next morning.
"Met morning Ma, met morning Pa"
Papa Pratama and Mama Adriana see the arrival of her daughter towards the dining table. "Met morning Karin" the two of them answered together. Karin immediately picked up the food that was served on the table.
"So keep going" said Karin, who made them not focus on their food.
"Why?" mam asked did not understand, seeing his son still eating his breakfast.
"Not so" replied Karin, shaking her face. Just think she was so happy to finally be able to eat together with her two parents. For the past few days he was lonely, Mama and Papa did not have breakfast at home or dinner together, usually alone with his Uncle at the dinner table.
"Where's uncle?" asked Karin to look here and there, never seeing the whereabouts of her uncle.
"He had breakfast since this morning, maybe he was in the gym" Papa replied slowly, Karin finished her meal quickly.
"Oh my goodness Karin... It's fast enough to eat you.." Adriana would be surprised to see the breakfast owned by her child is not left, but only a few minutes.
Karin is just a whiny. "Yaudah I want to fight my PK first Ma, Pa. Maybe Uncle's waiting for me there"
The two of them nodded knots after seeing their daughter running away from them so quickly. "Oh my goodness, our son has been active since that incident..."
Pratama raises next to his eyebrows, "I mean Mama? haikal & Karin's fiancee's meeting, right?!"
Mama nodded, "After that a lot more things happened. Where is Haikal now? Hasn't her dappled nose appeared in both of our eyes? Is Karin's speech real? Mama's not sure" doubts Adriana plays her fork and tablespoon. Pratama holds his wife's hand, "Hopefully after this the problem no longer exists. Papa wants it all done quickly"
Papa said to calm his wife who made his wife smile, "May pa" his reply with both eyes that he narrowed.
While in the PK Room, he saw his Uncle looking at the window. And the direction of his Uncle's head towards the bottom, Karin was curious what his Uncle saw below, at the front gate there.
"Uncle there's ap-"
Both of his eyes glared at the group of reporters still no word give up. "Damn!" as Karin put it in her mind, angry that the crazy reporters were coming back to her house.
"Uncle come on down!" tell Karin to run first, Uncle Jordan to follow from behind.
"When this is done.." annoyed Karin did not play see here and there with both eyes full of anger.
