Loving Brother-in-law

Riyu's embrace

"Good afternoon Madam" said the waiter welcoming the arrival of Riyu who had just returned from the meeting.

"Sore. Oh yeah, is it true Sam's home?" Riyu handed the laptop bag to the waiter.

"It's the Madam"

"Casandra?"

"Non Casandra's already in her room"

Riyu looked at the sad butler, and looked anxious. "Tell me, did they fight again?" riyu asked looking carefully.

The waiter bowed in his arms tightly, "Don't be afraid, tell me what happened?"

"I... My lady, Mr. Sam and Non Casandra had a fight. The master also dismissed Mr. Aji"

"What?"

The servant explained everything to Ryu. Not intending to complain, but hoping that the young lady would not be sad because the servant knew, only Riyu could calm the two.

Dad and son are equally hard. Riyu massaged her forehead slowly, trying to think clearly to be the mediator. As always, being a mother is also a meek wife and must persuade the two to come to terms.

But what he does not understand, why until Sam could just dismiss Aji. Riyu walked towards Casandra's room, her hand just touching the doorknob. Still heard the sound of his daughter sobbing. I can't bear it, want to go straight in and hug Casandra. But Riyu gave Casandra time to calm down first.

"Sam" Riyu stroked her husband's shoulder warmly. "Are you fighting again?"

"I'm sorry Ryu." Sam's sitting. Casandra's crying face was still reflected in her eyes. "I just want what's best for my daughter" she said in a soft tone. Regretting.

"I know." said Riyu gently throwing her warm smile. "You're a good father, baby. It's just, your way is too hard on our girl" Riyu clasped Sam's hand.

"Honey. I know your concern, you want to take good care of your daughter because you don't want anything bad to happen to her anymore. But you also have to give understanding to Casandra"

"And let him wander out there? Then Fight? That's how you mean?!" Sam stared at Riyu sharply.

"Honey, he fights not to fight who is in power and not to oppress people. Casandra did it because she was helping people who were being bullied, trying to open up a little bit of your heart."

Sam stared blankly at the room. "You taught him martial arts, that's good, even though I actually kind of objected haha. Honey, Casandra did the right thing."

Sam is still pensive. Yes indeed Casandra's actions are right, defending the oppressed, but also making Casandra hurt. That's what Sam had in mind.

"alright. L'm... Will apologize to my daughter" Sam said after a long silence. "But that doesn't mean I'm canceling my sentence on him" Sam said. He got up from the couch and went to the bathroom to clean himself up.

Riyu was still silent looking at Sam's back that disappeared behind the door, he let out a long sigh. The important thing is to reconcile the child and the father first, after which it will only discuss about Aji. It's hard to talk to Sam when the mood is not good.

Casandra's phone kept ringing, phone calls from Nanda and Sara alternately plastered on her phone screen. Called umpteenth, Casandra answered their phone.

"Casandra. Geez, it's been so hard to call! How are you ready yet?" ask Nanda.

Casandra fell silent, it seemed like again this time she had to hold back her feelings to attend the birthday party and also let down her two best friends.

"Casandra's? You still have me, right?"

"Sorry, I can't go with you to the party"

"Why?" Nanda heard Casandra's hoarse voice. Is he crying? What else happened to Casandra?!. He murmured in his heart.

"Sandra. Are you having any more problems?"

Nanda ended the conversation. "Where's Nda? Is casandra ready?" ask Sara who just finished makeup.

"Casandra can't go with Ra"

"Huh? This is the day that Casandra is waiting for so that she can be closer to Rio. How not so anyway! This must be Sam om who's been barring him from leaving."

"Emmm... I heard the voice of Casandra richly cry earlier. There may be more serious problems Ra." said Nanda sadly.

"So it's not cool if there's no Casandra" Sara was disappointed.

"Yes, I hope Casandra is okay. Let's go"

Sara nodded then followed Nanda towards her car.

*****

What Casandra thought was not the self that Sam scolded, he accepted that he should be scolded for not obeying the rules. But Casandra still thinks about Aji, she is sad, because of her mistake Aji so dismissed.

"Casandra" said Riyu softly.

Casandra was surprised to see her mother suddenly appear in her room, before turning her head, her hands wiping away her tears. "Yes ma'am" said Casandra throwing a smile.

Riyu stared silently, sitting next to Casandra carrying a medicine box. "How are you doing, son?"

"Not papa"

"Here, let me apply the ointment yes"

Casandra looked at Riyu who touched her with warmth. "Darling, tell me. How did you fight?"

Casandra. Will you be scolding me too? whispered in an anxious heart.

"Have you hit that bully so hard? Haha, if you're there you'll definitely clap your hands when they fall down." Riyu said happily.

"I... You're not mad?" casandra asked doubtfully.

"Of course not. Who said you were angry? I'm on your side."

"But mom is always upset when I see me rehearsing" the girl bowed deeply.

"Haha sweetie. Mom is upset, I want you to be a graceful, feminine girl, not kicking and punching" Riyu's words made Casandra feel even more guilty.

"But do you know, honey? I'm proud of you. I'm not going to forbid you from hitting and kicking, as long as you bring her into a positive regard, I'll always support you" Riyu stroked Casandra's back gently.

"It used to be a weak and oppressive mother, even mothers can't defend themselves even if they're right." Ryu glared deep into his past. While Casandra was still silent listening seriously.

"You're lucky son, to be able to master martial arts and help people. I'm happy, I'm proud. But you also have to be more careful, don't let your guard down. Because if you get hurt, it's not just you who feel pain. Father, mother, grandfather Mahesa will feel the same way. So sometimes one of us can't control ourselves because we love you so much, so worried about you. Just like your father did"

"I'm sorry mom" said Casandra.

"I'm sorry for the attitude, your father, baby"

"But ma'am, om Aji... " Casandra started sobbing again.

"Darling, your father will definitely decide on a good thing." Riyu is holding Casandra.
