Loving Brother-in-law

Siti Suspicious

That night Siti sat in the living room while pinching her fingers, her feeling rippled. The shadow of Riyu's gaze that looked tired like the one in her dream earlier, was seen again in her imagination.

"What is this really about? What happened to Riyu" Siti murmured in the middle of silence.

"Riyu hasn't visited me in three months, not even my phone has been picked up at all! Tomorrow I will come to Mahesa's house, to find out and make sure Riyu is okay" said Siti then rushed to her room.

Early in the morning Siti was well dressed, Agi who had just woken up looked at Siti while scratching her non-itchy head.

"Loh Ma'am, where are you going? Conditional?"

"No. I want to go to Mahesa's lady's house" replied Siti.

"Well, what's wrong, ma'am? Want to take the money?" Agi grimaced happily. His sleepy face sparkled for a moment.

"The money is what we think! I just want to go there nengokin Riyu. Do not be noisy, mother left first" Siti rushed to avoid Agi before throwing a lot of questions.

"Kok tumben anyway mom worried about Riyu, bodolah!" Agi went straight into the bathroom.

*****

Since Sam is engaged to Lila, he decides to stay in his villa, away from Riyu and the others. During that time Sam never came to see her again, or even called Ryu. Although both hearts are stricken by longing, but for the sake of protecting each other they are willing to separate without communication.

"Nov." Nita wakes up Noval who is still asleep at that time.

"Ah. Mama you surprised me" Noval said, then put her head back on the pillow.

"It's time you got up and went to the office! Where's Riyu? It should be his duty to take care of you!" Nita combed the room room with her gaze, but she did not find Riyu there.

"Oh that village girl? I was cleaning it in the Bathtub" Noval said casually.

"What?" Nita stepped into the bathroom.

Nita looked at the lighted shower, then her eyes were fixed on the figure of the woman who was tied in both hands on the shivering faucet drenched.

"Rilene?" nita said surprised, she immediately turned off the shower and released Riyu. Her face was pale, blue lips were trembling, Riyu's body felt so cold.

"Noval what are you doing! Since when did you lock Riyu in the bathroom?!" nita said as she pushed Riyu out and took her to sit on the sofa.

"Only overnight ma'am, I wouldn't touch Sam's old lady! So I was going to clean it up" Noval lit her cigarette.

"Are you crazy? If it was like this he could have a fever or even freeze to death! You're reckless Noval!" Nita gets a towel for Ryu. Wear this, warm up your body" Nita told Riyu. Nita called Mirah to prepare a warm drink.

"Ma. Since when did you pay so much attention to her!" Noval protest.

"You put your clothes on, then meet me in my room!" nita looked at Noval sharply.

"Auntie, you take care of Riyu. Don't let him get cold"

"Good mistress"

Nita left, and Noval soon followed her.

"Non Riyu's. What's going on?" Ask Mirah worriedly.

"A.. I'm. Don't know." Riyu shivered trembling.

Mirah could not ask him again. She helps Ryu dry his hair after helping him change clothes.

*****2,

"Noval did you forget our plan! Why are you being so mean to that girl!"

Noval breathed in annoyance. "Then should I be gentle with her? Pampered her? I'm not going to!"

"This ruling is only for a while, until we get the source of Riyu's inheritance from the deceased Galuh"

"But ma. It's all unclear! Yeah, if he's really Galuh's son, then isn't he? Just wasting time!" Noval got up from her seat and left.

"Novals. Novavel! Ugh this kid!" Nita was upset not being huddled by her son.

Ding dong's. The doorbell rang.

"Who else is it, so early in the morning! Basic shameless" said Nita massaging her forehead slowly.

"Who?" asked Nita reluctantly.

"Budenya non Riyu" replied Mirah briefly.

"Sity? What's he need to do here. Pimply. If he were to see Ryu with this state then... " Nita panicked. "Hemhs. Money can certainly silence him, after all he loves money more than the girl" Nita smiled cynically.

"All right, I'll see him" Nita told Mirah.

"Who's coming bi?" riyu asked in a weak tone, as Mirah returned to Riyu's room.

"Bu Siti who came non"

"Bude? What's he here for?" Riyu surprised.

"So he said he wanted to see you, he was worried because you haven't been to his house in a long time. He also said that non-Riyu phones could not be contacted" Mirah explained.

"Ahhhh. It's my fault, my number is blocked and I forgot to tell bude" Riyu fell silent. "Budein... It turns out you're worried about me" Riyu smiled.

"What's the non?" tanya Mirah was puzzled to see the pale Ryu suddenly smile.

"Bi. please prepare a long-sleeved shirt for me, I'll give it to not look pale. I want to see Bude, because I miss him too" said Riyu struggling her way to her dresser.

*****

"Siti. What do you need to do coming here?" Nita stepped closer to him.

Siti stood nervously clasping her fingers "Mistress. L am... I just wanted to meet with Ryu" said situ rather gloating.

"Riyu? Tumben, what's the need? If it's money I can give you, without having to meet with Ryu. Just tell me, how much do you want?"

"It's not about the lady's money, it's just..."

"Bude" a gentle greeting from Riyu's lips. Siti and Nita immediately turned to the direction of Riyu who had just come, Riyu smiled kindly hiding everything as if nothing had ever happened.

A stunned Nita observed Riyu closely, "This girl... How could he hide his wound??" nita murmured in the heart.

"Riyu, Bude here only... Ah, are you okay?" Siti can't be stale anymore.

"Yes. As bude saw I was fine" Riyu smiled cheerfully.

" When did you give it?" tanya Siti was suspicious.

"Bude, I'm a miss in the Mahesa family now. How could I possibly let my face go plain, not wrong right? I give it to please my husband"

"Yes. You're right." Siti nodded dismissing her suspicions.

But even though Riyu was so carefree and radiated a smile on her face, Siti's heart still felt riled up. She looks at Ryu a lot while telling him about her happy life, but Siti still feels sad.

His eyes glanced at Riyu's wrist which had a circular bruise wound there, however... Siti can't say anything. The clothes that Ryu was wearing were like intentionally covering his body.

"Riyu. When are you going to visit Bude's house? I'll let you stay there! I don't think Mahesa's mistress would mind, would she?" said Siti with her fierce accent.

Hearing Siti Nita's request silent for a moment, he caught there was a meaning of Siti's gelagat.

"Hey Mrs Mahesa? Just chill. I just need Riyu to help me clean up the house and the barn!" Siti's remarks dispel any doubts on Nita.

"So so? Basic." muttered Nita in the heart. "Okay, okay. I don't think Noval would mind that"

Riyu silently looked at Siti with question marks.

"You hear Ryu? Saturday night come! Because early Sunday morning we're gonna start cleaning up the house, you know! Remember don't be late, if it's too late I won't hesitate to punish you!" say Siti and stand up. "Then I'll go now"

Siti said goodbye to Nita, Riyu drove her to the front gate of her house...

Before leaving, Siti looked at Riyu with a sad look. Watering eyes. Her hand gently caressed Riyu's cheek.

"Riyu's... You are not good at lying" said Siti trembling.

Siti turned her body rushing away, hiding the tears that instantly slid from her eyelids. While Riyu was speechless looking at the back of Siti who walked further and further away from her sight.

"It's all my fault! That stupid girl why did she lie to me? Though he was not fine but he kept on babbling, smiling and laughing just like that!" Said Siti while walking home.
