Drrt drrttt drrrt.
Nicko, on his way to drive Arshaka home, gets a call from one of his men.
"Hallo."
"What's? To his parents' house? Alright. You guys keep an eye on that house. If there's anything suspicious, report it to me immediately."
Arshaka who was sitting in the passenger seat frowned hearing the fleeting conversation between Nicko and the caller. He wondered if it had anything to do with Keyla?
"Sir, there was one of the men who reported that Miss Keyla went home to her parents this afternoon" Nicko said.
Arshaka who had been sitting leaning back was now upholding his seat.
"Go home to her parents? Wh why? Did something happen there?" asked Arshaka worriedly.
"For that I don't know, sir. But I've asked some of our men to keep an eye on Miss Keyla's parents' house" replied Nicko, who had not yet calmed down Arshaka.
"I'm worried about this. You guys keep an eye on that house. And let me know if Keyla's staying there tonight or coming home."
"Good, Sir."
Arshaka again leaned back while twitching the base of his nose that felt dizzy. He was very sure, this must have had something to do with Keyla's mother's arrival this morning. But what was the woman talking about until Keyla easily went home to her parents just like that?
***
Meanwhile, Keyla who returned home by taxi has arrived at her parents' house. The first thing he looked for when he got home was his father. Keyla went straight to her parents' room to check on her father's condition.
Deg.
Keyla stunned. When he entered the room, his father seemed to be lying down in a weak condition. Both of his eyes were tightly closed. Maybe he is sleeping at the moment.
Keyla approached and sat down on the edge of the bed. Keyla took the father's right hand, then kissed him reverently.
"Papa, Key has come home" Keyla said in a soft voice so as not to disturb the father's rest. His eyes are now glazed. It seems that he has not met his father in person for a long time.
His father, who had closed his eyes, seemed to open his eyes slowly. When his eyes opened perfectly, he was very happy because the first thing he saw was the face of the princess.
"Key.." call his father softly.
"Yes, Pa. It's Keyla. Keyla was very upset with Papa," said Keyla then hugged his father who was still lying down. I think he missed his father a long time ago.
"You remember the way home too" said the father, who had long missed his son.
"Sorry Key yes, Pa. Key just found out from Mama this morning that Papa was sick," Keyla said honestly.
Keyla took off her embrace. He sat back looking at his father.
"Pa, said Mama, Papa's sick. How many days have you been sick like this? What pain does Papa have, Pa?" ask Keyla.
"Your sick father thinks of his company that's almost bankrupt." Not his father who answered, instead his mother who just entered the room that answered Keyla's question.
"Your father's been like this for a week. You don't know, do you? If Hendry does not tell Mama where you live, maybe you will never know how your Papa is," added the stepmother.
Keyla sighed heavily hearing her stepmother's words. He knew that the woman was answering and insinuating him.
"You've seen it for yourself, haven't you? Mama didn't lie about your papa's condition. Papa you are like this because there are many problems in his company. Every day suppliers collect debt, not to mention the obligation to pay employees. If there's no running project, where's the money to pay for all that?!" As if he had long stored his ego, his stepmother immediately bombarded Keyla with spicy attacks from his mouth in a row.
"Can't be later, Pa. He's an adult, he needs to know what's going on right now. It is time he devoted himself to the family. Wasn't hard. It's enough to marry Hendry that all these problems can be solved."
Deg.
Keyla surprised. His mother talked about Henry.
"Ma, please, Ma. Keyla has to tell Mama how many times that Keyla is now Shaka's legal wife. There's no way Keyla has two husbands, Ma" Keyla refused patiently.
"Who told you to have two husbands? You can divorce your husband and marry Hendry. Easy right? There's nothing you can expect from your husband, Key!" hardik the mother without thinking about Keyla's feelings.
Keyla and her father heard her mother's words just now. How trivial does he look at Shaka who only works as a delivery courier?
"Mama said Keyla's an adult, right? So Keyla has the right to determine Keyla's own life partner. So, Keyla won't divorce Shaka for whatever reason. He's just a courier, Ma. He did not have a car as luxurious as Hendry, did not have a big house as big as Hendry's house, he also could not give Keyla tens of millions of money to shop, he also could not give Keyla money for shopping, but he has a good heart that Hendry doesn't have. He always respected women unlike Hendry who just changed women every day just for the fulfillment of his lust! And now...Mama wants to marry Keyla to a guy like that? No, Ma. Until whenever Keyla won't!" push Keyla down firmly.
"She'll change after marrying you Keyla!" his mother snapped in a high voice. He was furious at Keyla who had always been against him.
"No way, Ma. Changing the habits of someone who is ingrained is not as easy as turning the palm." Keyla still stands by his stance.
"So you have the heart to see Papa you're broke to such pain?"
"Keyla will take care of papa. If necessary Keyla take papa back to Keyla's house."
"No! No one's going anywhere! Inevitably, dislikefully, you must remain married to Hendry and your papa company must remain as it was."
"What did Mom mean by that?" ask Keyla who has started to be suspicious of her mother. It seemed like there was something bad that her mother had planned.
"This means you or your father no one will leave this house. You have to stay here again until you are officially married to Hendry" replied his mother who made Keyla very surprised.
"Keyla has to go home to Keyla's husband, Ma!" refute Keyla.
"No! Once not still not!"
"Your feet... Darto.." shouted his mother called two men of large stature who had been waiting in front of the room.
"Ready, Mistress!" both men entered the room.
"Both of you I'm assigned to watch Keyla not run away from this house. If he manages to escape, you'll receive his own punishment from Hendry."
"Ready, Mistress!"
"Ma, what the hell is this? Please Ma, don't do this to Keyla!" pinta Keyla with her worried face.
"Mama doesn't care! This is the best path for all of us."
After saying that, Monica left her room without caring for Keyla's scream. The two men started watching Keyla from the front door.
