Loving my Friend's Beloved

The s3 eps 236

“Excuse me Non, there are guests who want to meet with Non Jenny.” Said one of the boutique employees.

“Who?” Ask Jenny.

“I don't know. Handsome man.” Answer the employee.

“All right just tell me to come in.” Jenny finally said. Because he also did not feel there was an appointment with someone. Especially with a handsome man. There are beautiful men in this world.

“Hai!” greet Xavier who just walked into Jenny's room.

“Eh, Brother. Ehm yes. Hi.” replied Jenny nervously. It turns out true what was said by his employees earlier if the guest is a handsome man.

“Do I interrupt your time?” Xavier's question broke Jenny's daydream.

“Eh, no. Please sit Kak.” Jenny was still nervous.

Xavier sat on the sofa and gave Jenny a paper bag containing clothes. Xavier was also a little nervous when he met Jenny directly like now, because honestly Jenny is very beautiful when viewed from a close distance like this.

“Sister should not bother changing my clothes.” Jenny said no good.

“Nothing. I promised.” Answer Xavier.

Jenny finally receives a gift from Xavier. Even though he had also accidentally spilled soto sauce onto Xavier's clothes. But Jenny did not replace it. And now Jenny intends to replace it but Xavier refuses.

After talking to Jenny, Xavier returns home because he is still busy with his work.

Carissa and Barra's engagement day is approaching. The two also never met again after the meeting that night. Given the relationship the two are not worthy of the bride and groom as usual. Barra chose to concern herself with her work, while Carissa had also returned to her boutique. Even for his wedding ring business, Carissa resigned to his future mother-in-law.

Carissa is now in her shop. There was actually no activity he did there. It's just that he feels bored if he continues at home, Papa and his brother are also busy in the office.

Charles had actually banned Carissa from going to the boutique. The middle-aged man did not want his daughter to be exhausted. But Carissa remained adamant to go to the boutique. And Charles plans to move the boutique owned by Carissa close to his residence, so that it is easy to reach. And for sure the boutique will be bigger than the boutique now.

“Honey!” hello Silvia who just entered Carissa's room.

“Mama! Rissa Kangen with Mama.” Carissa answered and rushed into the arms of her foster mother.

“How are you doing, dear? Mama and Papa also miss you very much.” Ask Silvia.

“Rissa healthy Ma.” Answer Carissa.

Silvia's arrival to the boutique Carissa not only misses her adopted son. She also wanted to discuss about Carissa's engagement which she only knew a few days ago.

“Mama and Papa are happy to hear the news of your engagement and Barra. Finally soon you will be united.” Silvia said happily.

Carissa responded to Mama's words with a grim face. I don't know why Mom and Dad were so happy to hear about the engagement. Though his mother also knew about his problem with Barra.

“Ma, this is not about revenge or hate. Maybe if Kak Barra's mistake wasn't as fatal, Rissa would have forgiven him. But this is different Ma. Rissa is still afraid and traumatized by the actions of Kak Barra at that time.” Said Carissa who was now crying as much as she could.

“Darling, sorry Mama. Mama didn't mean to judge you. My mom can feel what you feel too. But what's wrong if you give Barra a chance to right his wrongs. Mama believes that Barra is a responsible man. It's all just a matter of time Dear.” Silvia.

“Iya Ma. Carissa will give Barra a chance. Carissa also took time to eliminate that trauma.” Carissa. But he did not say about Barra asking for a year. Let it be a secret for both of them.

Silvia is now relieved after hearing that Carissa wants to give Barra a chance to correct her mistake. Although Carissa is not her biological child, Silvia also hopes that her son will be able to live happily in his household. Especially with Barra. The man who had long been very coveted as his daughter-in-law.

Later that night is Barra and Carissa's engagement. The event will be held in a simple way at Charles's house. So there is no fancy preparation for the event. Maybe just preparing a dinner party for the Barra family.

Today Carissa is not allowed by her Papa to go to the boutique. Charles did not want his son to be tired when the event arrived.

This morning there was nothing Carissa could do but fall in her room, and now she was sitting in a garden chair behind the house. Carissa chose to relax her body by looking at the expanse of the flower garden that was so soothing to her eyes and heart. While people are busy in the kitchen preparing for the event later tonight.

“Opa cariin daritadi it turns out here.” Said Angga who was now sitting next to Carissa.

“Eh, Opa. Yes Viera bored Opa in room hold. Want to help in the kitchen is also not allowed by Aunt Nara.” Answer Carissa.

“How are you feeling now? are you able to accept Barra's presence?” Ask Opa Angga.

Carissa fell silent with her Opanya question. His intention to come to this park for refreshing actually even get questions that discuss about Barra. Carissa was also confused as to how to answer it. Wasn't Opanya the one who asked her to marry Barra.

“Saf Opa. Previous Can Viera ask you something?” Tanya Carissa and is taken by Opa Angga.

“Why did Opa ask Viera and Kak Barra to get married?” Ask Carissa.

Angga knew that his grandson must have asked this reason.The old man looked straight ahead before answering his grandson's question. He was back to the shadow of his past. Although the past was bitter, yet she had to tell her granddaughter.

Angga tells Carissa about his long struggle to get his wife. Angga said that the incident experienced by Omanya is almost the same as Carissa. If in the past Viviane had gotten sexual abuse from others, to cause a miscarriage. And it turns out that the fetus is his. But when Opanya will be responsible even though the fetus is no longer there, but Omanya refuses and leaves.

His struggle to find the existence of Omanya at that time was also full of twists because Opanya loved the woman very much. Although actually Omanya also still keeps the same feeling, but trauma and fear that makes him choose to stay away from Opanya.

“Viera, Opa does not want the incident to repeat itself to Opa's grandson. So Opa consented to Barra to account for his actions. Opa is sure that you love each other. This moment is only hindered by your trauma. And that trauma will disappear over time. Hope Opa and Oma just want our grandchildren happy before death. It's enough we've seen your Papa left behind by the woman he loves. We don't want you to experience the same thing.” Opa Angga.

Carissa poured into her arms sobbing.She wanted to realize Opa and Omanya's desire to see her grandchildren live happily. As for the affair with Barra, let him and Barra alone handle it.
