Love for Vita

Rika's outpouring of heart

"Vita, can I hear that you want to stay here? is it true that you have chosen a college to continue your studies?" rika asks who approached Zovita in her room.

Zovita was tidying up her books on the table.

"Yes, I've decided to go to college where, I'm still not ready to go back to the city" said Zovita while arranging the book.

"Have you told your father? your father won't agree, he's planning to send you abroad, Vita," Rika, who co-styled Zovita's book, told his desk.

"He must have heard it, right? all this time didn't you guys send people to watch me here?" timpal Zovita made Rika surprised, it turns out that during this time Zovita knew that he was being watched.

"you mean? maybe if your father was ruling over someone, it's because he cares about you so much" Rika said, pretending to be clueless.

Zovita kept busy arranging her books, even when Rika spoke, Zovita did not look at her stepmother, Rika who was still standing still felt uncomfortable with the situation, Rika is a little worried if all this time her plan was known by Zovita.

"If you have thought carefully about your plan, I will try to persuade your father to agree, besides he himself is busy with his affairs," added Rika trying to convince Zovita, for Zovita to trust him more.

"I know she doesn't really care about me, she just keeps her image, not her daughter." Zovita immediately stopped arranging her book, silent for a moment staring at the face of Rika who was surprised to hear the words of Zovita.

"Vita, you-" Rika has not had time to continue her speech, Zovita immediately cut Rika's speech.

"No need to explain in detail, I've been watching it on television a lot, although we rarely meet, I already know for sure behind the scenes, he's not so," zovita said in a slightly emotional tone, Rika did not wrinkle, just looked at Zovita's face deeper and took a deep breath.

Rika who always looks fine, looks very wise and tough, that night, she accidentally shed tears, her body was so limp that she sat on Zovita's bed, not only Zovita, even Rika herself is very lacking in affection from her husband.

Many things that Zovita does not know about her father's attitude to Rika, Rika has been pretending to look happy, so that everyone considers her marriage to Irwan is perfect.

"You're right, Vita, I've been trying to get people to think that our marriage is perfect, even if we live under one roof, we're like strangers," rika said while wiping her tears that fell on her cheeks.

Zovita approached Rika, sitting next to Rika, Zovita knew very well how Rika must have felt very sick because she continued to face her father's attitude.

"Do you love dad?" asked Zovita who was sitting next to Rika, Zovita's question made Rika surprised.

"Why do you ask that? stupid me, all this time loved your father very much, even though he married me just for business," Rika expressed her disappointment in front of Zovita.

"Perhaps, if my father didn't marry you, he'd be a bum out there, he'd be very lucky to get into your family" Zovita said.

This time Rika as in slap by her own stepson's speech, Rika is always buoyed by a love that does not enter logic, Rika always put forward her feelings, Rika always put forward her feelings, though the person he loves turned out to only think of his image.

Rika feels stupid for having loved Irwan who never thought of his feelings, if only she had not followed the will of her father, Rika does not want to marry Irwan.

"Vita, this is marriage, it's a trap, someday, marry the one who loves you, she'll make you queen." Rika patted Zovita on the shoulder who was still sitting on her mattress, Rika immediately stood up and walked out of Zovita's room.

Zovita smiled, looking at Rika who passed by with wet eyes, that night, Zovita suddenly thought of someone's shadow, Zovita this time was very strange with her thoughts, because it felt so eager to see Alan.

Rika and Rachel spend the night at Zovita's grandmother's house.

***

In the morning, Rachel peeked out the window of her room, looking down, Rachel saw a male figure who was familiar to her was chatting with bi Wati beside the courtyard of the house.

Rachel who was curious, immediately went out of the room and down the stairs, immediately ran to the yard where bi Wati was watering the plants.

"Rachel, why are you running?" tanya bi Wati curious.

Rachel glanced at the hand of bi Wati who was carrying a meal.

"That's what bi?" Rachel asked back.

"Oh, this is a food deposit for Neng Vita," said bi Wati while showing food in his hands.

"From the man?" rachel asked curiously.

Bi Wati nodded, looking at Rachel's face which kept turning to the side where Rachel saw a male figure who was none other than Alan passing by with his car.

"Auntie knows him? why is he here?" rachel asked who was getting bi Wati confused.

"You mean? familiar? yeah, his name's Alan, do you know him?" Bi Wati asked Rachel.

"Iy--" Rachel did not have time to answer, Rika appeared by cutting off Rachel and bi Wati's conversation.

"Wati, why haven't you made us breakfast yet? what time is it?" timpal Rica with a face that was still sleepy, continued to yawn.

"Oh, yes, Miss, if I go to the kitchen first." Bi Wati headed straight for the kitchen leaving Rachel and Rika in the courtyard.

Rika approached Rachel who had just put on a confused face.

"Why you?" ask Rika.

"Mam, that wasn't Alan?" rachel said, Rika immediately patted Rachel's hand and gestured not to talk too loudly.

"Ssssttt," said Rika.

"Why mam?" Rachel was still wondering because she didn't understand.

"You don't tell me you know Alan in front of Vita or the Wati" Rika said.

"What's really going on? I don't understand, so why is Alan here?" rachel said, increasingly confused by her mother.

Rika has not answered Rachel, but Rachel's face seems to be guessing something.

"Don't-don't-" said Rachel.

"Ssssttt, let's go to the top, mami" asked Rika who pulled Rachel's hand.

Rika and Rachel climb the stairs, carefully taking Rachel into her room.

In a very quiet voice, Rika explained to Rachel about Alan's arrival and the mission Rika gave to Alan, Rachel just nodded and smiled, saying, Rachel understood all this time her mother had received information about Zovita from whom.
