A different woman



Today Hanna moved to the house that Ayatha occupied, she was waiting for her, before long Hanna arrived, Ayatha immediately greeted her with a smile.


 


 


Hanna immediately got out of the car that drove her, she was wearing a soft yellow dress and a pair of glasses. This girl is indeed very beautiful, born as a princess, Ayatha is a little inferior to see the style of Hanna who looks graceful.


 


 


" Please bring my things, "he said to the driver who drove him. He walked up to Ayatha, paused for a moment, took off his glasses, looked at Ayatha sharply, without a smile he then walked into the house.


 


 


Ayatha who was treated like that could only fall silent. Why did Hanna change?


 


 


" I want the main room on the 2nd floor, can you move? " hanna said to Ayatha but did not look at her at all, her face was haughty.


 


 


Ayatha frowned, yet she did not want to make trouble with her future sister-in-law.


 


 


" Alright, I'll have the waiter move my belongings, " said Ayatha


 


 


" From now on, I need both servants, so you can move your own things? Not that you used to be a former servant, " said Hanna ketus


 


 


Ayatha was speechless, what was with Hanna?, she was so different from the first time she met.


 


 


" Alright, " said Ayatha again.


 


 


Hanna stared at Ayatha sharply, she did not like Ayatha from the beginning when she was introduced by her brother, what else when she remembered the first time she saw Ayatha, she said, this girl who was talking to Andra at that time, he thought.


 


 


Ayatha immediately moved her belongings from the master room, the maid there several times wanted to help her but prevented by Hanna, Ayatha could only smile.


 


 


After a few hours, he finally finished moving his belongings, his room was smaller now, yet he liked it enough. Beside her room was a small garden only stymied by glass, although small, this room was more comfortable and beautiful, Ayatha thought.


 


 


He looked at the garden, and his daydream flew away, now what is Andra doing? For almost a week, she had never met or been in contact with Andra. Andra must have been very angry with him, leaving without saying goodbye. And Ayatha's heart ached, she didn't know what to do.


 


 


at lunchtime, Maxi arrives, the waiter immediately calls Ayatha.


 


 


" Miss Ayatha, Mr. Maxi has come, he is waiting in the living room, " said the servant to disperse the daydream of Ayatha.


 


 


" Alright, " said Ayatha smiling sweetly


 


 


She stood up, glimpsed her appearance in the glass, beautiful, even without any makeup, she immediately came out unwilling to make her future husband wait.


 


 


Ayatha walked towards the middle room, she could see Hanna who was also heading there, half running she headed towards where her sister was excitedly.


 


 


" Sister came, "said Hanna hugging her brother, Maxi also welcomed her warmly.


 


 


Ayatha who saw this incident came to a standstill, speechless, is this really the relationship between brother and sister, Ayatha is an only child, she has no siblings, so she does not understand, she does not understand, whether this happens often or not, but it feels a little strange, especially Maxi and Hanna are only half-siblings. But Ayatha was just thinking, maybe they were very close.


 


 


" Sister, you're going to have lunch here right? " said Hanna looking at her brother happily


 


 


" If you ask me, I will obey him, " said Maxi softly


 


 


" Okay, eat here, accompany me, " said Hanna,


 


 


Ayatha entered the living room, Maxi looked at her awkwardly, because Hanna was still in her arms, she slightly let go of her sister's embrace, looking at Ayatha, Ayatha just smiling.


 


 


" Oh, brother-in-law, it's come, my brother is tired of working 1 day, he wants lunch, surely brother-in-law does not mind to prepare food for him right? Brother Max cannot eat carelessly, " said Hanna with a fake smile, looking at Ayatha while holding Maxi's hand affectionately.


 


 


" Alright, I'll prepare, wait a moment, " said Ayatha looking at the seemingly condescending Maxi


 


 


" Alright, do it quickly, brother must be starving already, " said Hanna again


 


 


" Well, " said Ayatha immediately out of the room towards the kitchen, Maxi stared at her passing silently


 


 


" As long as my sister-in-law prepares meals, my sister accompanies me yes, I am lonely here" Hanna said


 


 


" Yes, I'll accompany you, " said Maxi gently smiling sweetly, looking at her delicate little sister's face.


 


 


Ayatha prepared some food, 2 kinds of vegetable dishes and 3 kinds of side dishes for them to eat, with help from the waiter, they quickly prepared it.


 


 


Hanna sat beside Maxi at the dining table, while Ayatha sat in front of Maxi, Maxi looked at the food that was prepared in front of her.


 


 


" You're good at cooking, huh? " said Maxi throwing his trademark smile


 


 


" It's just plain food, " said Ayatha as she was,


 


 


Seeing her brother praising Ayatha, Hanna looked displeased.


 


 


" Sister, before the meal, I'm sorry, I should have stayed in the lower room, but since my stuff is so much, I asked brother-in-law to move, you forgive me right ?" hanna said spoiled to her brother


 


 


" does? Ehm. big sister handed it to Ayatha only, "said Maxi looked at Ayatha disdainfully


 


 


" How's sister-in-law? " said Hanna who looked at Ayatha sharply. This woman is full of pretense, Ayatha thought.


 


 


" Yes, it's okay, " said Ayatha as she looked down


 


 


" Alright, let's eat, I'm already hungry, " Maxi said looking at Ayatha


 


 


Ayatha stood up to get rice and side dishes for Maxi, it was her job as Maxi's future wife, but quickly Hanna immediately took a spoon of rice.


 


 


" It's big sister, " said Hanna to take the rice to Maxi's plate, the atmosphere is really awkward, Maxi looks confused, Ayatha too.. Ayatha sat down.


 


 


Just smiling then looking down, looking at that kind of Ayatha, Maxi felt bad.


 


 


" Brother why? " said Hanna saw the change in Maxi's face


 


 


" Oh, it's okay, thank you, " said Maxi smiling


 


 


" Alright, let's eat, " said Hanna without giving Ayatha any food. Ayatha took some food by herself, the atmosphere was very awkward for Ayatha and Maxi, whereas Hanna was just eating as usual. After they finished eating, they were still sitting in the dining room.


 


 


" Sister, you know, next week I have to perform at the hall, you remember ?" hanna broke the silence


 


 


" Yes, I remember, " said Maxi


 


 


" You should come yes, " said Hanna again


 


 


" I'm definitely coming, take it easy, "


 


 


 


 


" No, " said Maxi


 


 


" By buying some dresses that I will wear later well, please, "said Hanna said, Ayatha who from earlier was just a good listener, can only be silent. Maxi glanced at Ayatha


 


 


" Well, Ayatha how did you come ?" maxi said smiling


 


 


Not yet Ayatha replied, Hanna immediately spoke.


 


 


" Sister-in-law is still not done moving, we'll just go, " said Hanna, Maxi looked back at Ayatha. Ayatha smiled faintly.


 


 


" It's okay, you guys just go, " said Ayatha looking at Maxi, Maxi added hesitantly


 


 


" Well, I'll get ready, sister wait for me here yeah, " said Hanna got up and left Ayatha and Maxi.


 


 


The atmosphere was very awkward, actually from the beginning Ayatha moved here, Ayatha and Maxi very rarely met, they rarely spoke and yes it was like this, awkward.


 


 


" I'm sorry for my sister's disrespect, " said Maxi breaking the silence.


 


 


" Oh, it's okay, you guys look so close, " said Ayatha smiling


 


 


" Ayatha, I'm sorry if I rarely see you, my job is quite time-consuming, about our marriage, I was already planning, when I came home from Thailand for a business trip, we'd get married immediately, " said Maxi staring at Ayatha seriously


 


 


" When will you be home?" said Ayatha make sure


 


 


" I left after Hanna performed, I left 1 week, chances are 2 weeks away we'll get married" Maxi said


 


 


" Was fast as that ?" said Ayatha in shock


 


 


" Yes, why? " said Maxi


 


 


" It's okay, alright, " said Ayatha looking at Maxi with her sweet smile


 


 


" I've arranged the whole wedding, you just take care of the dress you want to wear, um, want a big party or just family ?" sweet Maxi said


 


 


" How do you like it?" said Ayatha


 


 


" I think I want a simple and family-only, more intimate feel, "


 


 


" Then we make what you want" said Ayatha smiling


 


 


" All right, " said Maxi.


 


 


Without them realizing it, Hanna heard all their conversations, made her clench her hands an emotional sign, Ayatha was a seductive girl, she had previously teased Andra, since she could not, she instead teased her sister. Cheap, he thought.


 


 


But all those emotions in her pendamnya, she immediately reviewed the smile on her lips, walking into the dining room.


 


 


" Come, sister, I'm done, " said Hanna taking her sister


 


 


" Alright, I go first, " said Maxi staring at Ayatha


 


 


" Yes, " said the miserly Ayatha, driving them until they left.


 


 


Quiet, back to sleep... Ayatha was only stunned to see some leaves swaying in the front garden.


 


 


Will his life be like this? Living in solitude, marrying someone who either loves him or doesn't?. What will this marriage be, will she be able to love Maxi as her husband? hanna looks like she hates him.


 


 


Ayatha could only be stunned, daydreaming far away..


 


 


..................................................


 


 


Andra was silent, daydreaming in his own office, he had been messed up for a week, he was very difficult to concentrate, a lot of work that he usually did easily, now it is difficult.


 


 


Ayatha's face was always ringing in her mind, undeniable, she missed him. He had tried not to think about Ayatha, but the harder he tried to forget her, the more his longing to meet Ayatha. This time he only realized, he really liked Ayatha.


 


 


He took his phone, saw the photo of Ayatha that Yosa had sent, back when Ayatha was nearby, he didn't care much about it, now that she was gone, it turned out that he needed Ayatha very much. Regret always comes last.


 


 


" How can you marry someone else? " said Andra looking at Ayatha's face.


 


 


Suddenly the phone rings. A series of numbers appear on the phone screen.


 


 


" Hello, " said Andra immediately picked it up


 


 


" Good afternoon Young Master, I want to report the circumstances, "said the voice across


 


 


" Well, " said Andra again


 


 


"  Miss Ayatha is only at home, this morning Young Miss Hanna moved to Miss Ayatha's residence, it seems like Miss Hanna told Miss Ayatha to move to another room, she also moved it herself without any help from the maid, it seems like Miss Hanna forbade the servants to help Miss Ayatha “


 


 


" What about Max ?" said Andra frowning


 


 


" Mister Maxi was coming for lunch this afternoon, Miss Ayatha who cooked by herself, but now Mr Maxi is going shopping with Miss Hanna "


 


 


" They left Ayatha alone at home, while they shopped? "  say Andra


 


 


" Yes, it seems so Mr "


 


 


Andra fell silent, she bit her lips, how could Maxi do that to Ayatha?. What's he thinking? Making someone his fiancee, but not taking care of him, what exactly does he want anyway?, thought Andra angrily knowing the state of Ayatha now.


 


 


" Alright, I'm waiting for your next report, " Andra said


 


 


" Good sir, "


 


 


Phone connection disconnected.


 


 


Andra fell silent, she indeed told someone to report about the state of Ayatha. He did not like Maxi from the beginning and he knew Maxi was not sincere with Ayatha. There must be something behind all this, Andra must find his year.
