MY LOVE BLOSSOMS IN KOREA...!!

Chapter 10 (Dreams)

My eyes closed. There I dream. I met my mom and dad with happy faces looking at me. I hugged them as usual when I came home. I saw Kayla who was smiling so sweetly as she waved her hand. And then I saw a very warm shadow in my eyes. Andra, she walked over to me with her beautiful eyes outstripping the rainbow. He smiled at me. Welcomed it. A few seconds later, his face changed. Turned into a figure that I find very difficult to describe. I can't see it clearly. I felt the warmth of the hand that now holds both shoulders. I can see him smiling at me. Slowly and surely he approached and continued to approach. He hugged me with a hug I could hardly imagine.

I welcome his embrace. Feeling the beating of his heart. I also really felt the warm breath that went through my hair. For a moment I forgot my sadness.

Suddenly my phone shook, making me wake up from that strange dream. I turned to my favorite clock, I fell asleep for a long time. The clock shows at 12.30 WIB. I saw the call on my phone screen. There was a call with a foreign number. And the number is awkward too. Unlike domestic mobile numbers. I just kept quiet. I dare not answer. In my mind, I was afraid that it was the loan shark hunting me. The call took place three times in a row. Somehow for the last call there was a strong desire to lift him up. Maybe it was my father or mother who tried to contact me.

“Halo...” My voice is soft and careful.

“Halo... can talk to Ricka?” answer someone who is on the other end of the phone. I seem to recognize this voice. It's definitely not dad's voice.

“”Iya.. I'm Ricka,” I replied briefly.

“Ricka... Where have you been? Why not pick up the phone from earlier?” said the person a little louder in volume from the beginning of our conversation.

“Om... Shoni?” many doubt.

“Iya.. It's Om Shoni from Korea. You remember, honey?” his tone returned soft.

“Iya.. Last night your father called, and told me everything. You are patient. Everything that is reported in the media is wrong. Your mother never cheated. All because of your father's business opponent who framed your mother and destroyed your father's business.” I just silently listened to an explanation from Om Shoni.

It felt in my throat that there was a very large thorn. Makes me clenched unable to make a sound. I know my eyes have been flooded.

“Iya Om... I know.. mother cannot be like that..” my voice vibrates.

“Ricka dear... You are stoic yes.. all this is just a test for your family. Now the important thing is to save you. Because yesterday your father said, those loan sharks are looking for you to make you the fourth wife of their boss I gawked at Om Shoni's explanation of that. Whats? The fourth wife? Is that true? I'm sure I rejected it.

“A..a..what's Om? Wife to four?”

“Yes, let alone the fourth wife. Even first wife Om won't let you agree. Om know exactly who your father's opponent is!”

“Means Om...?”

“Yes, he was Om's business opponent and your father from long ago. Name's Shantowi. I'm sure all of this was his doing. Not long ago with his hypocritical face, he offered quite a lot of capital to your father. Om had expected it. But your father didn't listen to Om. Shantowi is sneaky. At first he liked your mother. But obviously your mother hates her. And now that you're growing up, he wants you. Basic crocodile lizard..!” Om Shoni growled.
