MY 250 MILLION PEARLS

27. What is ART and Karma?

###############

"You two are the same. Equally secretive. Full mystery.

My own daughter is not honest.

Obviously he doesn't want to be honest, if what he tells me is like that.

Meet and meet in the middle of the road? When he was about to play at his former co-worker's house who turned out to be neighborly with you? Then he asked the address of his friend's house by chance to you, son Luke, who turned out the address of his friend was the wrong address?

Then you too, don't fit into Hana's confession story. Because you said you two accidentally met and met in cyberspace. Facebook Alias. Then short story you had a crush on her and then you got Hana married...

Try, how can I trust you if you two answer differently?"

Just now Ratna had tempted Luke to extract more information from him. About how the princess actually met and knew Luke. The man across the table in front of Ratna sat down and immediately showed a tense face, shocked to realize what the purpose and theme of Ratna's arrival was looking to invite her to talk.

Then in the silence the man thought quickly, looking for a way how to answer or give an explanation to Ratna.

Really, he never knew that between himself and Hana turned out to have different versions of the story about the beginning of their introduction.

"That's right through Facebook, Ms. Ratna. In the 'People you may know' feature'. Maybe because we were both friends there, Hana's account came up" Lukas said. Because according to Luke himself, even the recognition of Hannah's version is not enough to be tricked. Although the story of this version of himself is just as bad boasting. "Hana just doesn't want to tell mom like that, maybe because your daughter is too shy to admit to getting serious acquaintances who only through social media."

"Is that?"

"I'm sure so, ma'am."

"I'm sure so?" ratna is becoming more skeptical.

"Yes." Yeah." Lukas nodded, pretending his expression was serious.

"Hmm.okay, so that's right through Facebook... And falling in love with you two, is it true that Hana first felt that love for you? It doesn't matter if you've confessed in front of him that you're in a relationship with someone?"

Gosh...? Hana said that to her mother?

"Mrs Ratna..." When Luke was about to reply to clarify, even though he had to lie again, Ratna spoke out, saying,

"Not mother is asking without intention or intention to interfere, Luke. I deliberately spoke and asked this to you, because over time I realized that Hana had been very economical talking about you to me.

Already 7 months of gestation, only about 2 or 3 months he was empty before, and 2 months just your introduction before deciding to get married...almost 1 year or maybe it's been 1 year exactly you have a relationship, but even my daughter is no more than 5x talking about you and even then if I don't start, she never wants to start.

What the hell is it? What exactly are you two married just from getting married, no intention, even without any feelings whether it's a crush on each other or mutual love that is the foundation of your marriage?"

The silence that followed felt very long and uncomfortable... Finally Luke spoke up, asking back,

"If I told my mother that I forced Hana to marry for a reason.meets the wishes of my parents in the end, will you still continue to be curious and ask? Cross-check this on Hana?"

He knew Ratna must have been very curious, so deflecting a little from the facts, he gave such statements and questions.

Ratna was stunned.

Luke immediately added. "There's no feeling of falling in love yet, ma'am. Just a crush, just a little." Lt's true. He himself seems to have immediately felt a little crush on Hana at the first meeting. "Suddenly after meeting Hana I felt a match for her. Then I proposed to her."

Silent again.

But Ratna's mortality gradually loosened. Now he looked at Luke deeply, following a bitter smile.

"It looks like you've got a hunch about your mother, Lukas. You after all these years yesterday finally want to get married, even if you marry another woman."

And it seems like Ratna believes that the one who forces marriage to fulfill the wishes of parents is his side, not Hana's side, Luke smiled faintly and replied to Ratna's smile.

"But how now, how are you feeling now towards my daughter? There is already a...perhaps a special taste to it?"

Ratna's question this time finally made Luke aware not to add lies for the sake of lies anymore. That was enough at the beginning. For this one question, the man decided to make an honest confession,

"I'm in love with her, Ms. Ratna. To Hana... And maybe I'm the only one feeling this. Hana may not have because..." The heart in Luke's chest skipped a beat.

When the man brought eyes to Ratna who was faithful to look at him and listen carefully to his words - especially in the confession of Luke who claimed to have fallen in love with his daughter, Ratna interjected with delinquent a meaningful smile - luke fell for that new understanding; no, not yet. But already. Chances are. Because Hana.2 last night after returning from the Boutique in Bekasi, precisely then in the shower cubicle...

Oh my... Although after the incident under the shower only continues with Hana leaving it in the shower room to then continue her lightning shower outside, then finished and dressed and chose to disappear into the picture room, after they both return to mediocrity, Luke suddenly gains confidence now that Hana is...

"Why, Lukas?" The mother-in-law could not help but notice the change in Luke's expression and attitude.

"Mrs Ratna..."

"Hmm?"

"What...Hana's the one who told you to come see me?"

"No. I took the initiative myself. Why indeed?"

"Just to ask about the feelings of the two of us?"

"One of them. Others, I meant to talk to you so you can find ART for your home soon. One more thing, I came to you this way to ask you also, about how you are alone, your family news, after Mrs Hutami left you all for ever.

But what's up, Luke? Hana why? Why are you asking me if my daughter told me to come here?"

"A-RTS? Household assistant, ma'am? You mean mommy, maid?"

"Helper. Ahh, it turns out that Hana's delaying you from hiring a maid because my daughter is scared. Worry."

"Ka..."

"...worry, you're hooked on the maid you hired later. I'm afraid the maid took you like my daughter took you from Meiska.

Hana is afraid of karma, bad karma that will happen to her if you have already done ART. Bad karma from what he did to you and Meiska.

That's why my daughter isn't so interested in you having ART."

"God..."

"Find ART far above your age, Luke," for a moment Ratna cleared her throat, hoping Luke could catch her point. "Sorry, don't be your age, let alone Hana. ART of my age is still widely available and productive. I mean to be a maid in your house.

How's it?"

By itself the discussion of Hana's feelings towards her was replaced to the focus of this latest conversation. About ART that has not been anything, not to mention Luke began to employ, has been jealous of Hana.

Cheating with a housekeeper?

Luke is not the type of thirsty man se*s or woman.

If indeed he is like that, it has been a long time since Luke left Meiska.

And that karma?

Why does Luke feel almost the same way, scaring this karma, for his actions to leave Meiska, making Luke worry that karma could come to him too with Hana instead of leaving him?
