Pearls For Wood

Not Fair to Me

The night came and we were enjoying dinner. Of course only three because indeed brother Bayu will just go home tomorrow.

"Ra, if you become Bayu's legal wife, will you quit your job?" mama asked immediately for my attention.

"Content ma. Tiara loved Tiara's current job very much."

"But you'll have to take care of Pearl and your husband later." papa spoke up.

"Pa, even when Mutia was pregnant, she kept working and Bayu didn't forbid it."

"That's because Mutia hasn't given birth. Remember, Ra! A wife's duty is to the family and the house."

"Mama."

"Yes, discuss this matter with your future husband, later!" papa's orders.

'What the fuck? After they managed to get me married to sister Bayu and now they are trying to ask me to quit my job. What a cruel world this is!' I murmured in my heart.

I laid my body on the bed and began to think about the words of my parents.

"I love my job so much, this was my dream from childhood. Will Bayu forbid me to work after we get married? But, she used to let Mutia's sister keep working even though she was pregnant. Why should I be in a position like this? It's so hard for me!" I thought I was flying.

"Bippp. Bippp. Bippppp." ringing the phone signifying that there is an incoming message.

📩 Milea

[not Milea's boyfriend Dylan ya readers, but Milea who is a friend of Tiara High School who has now settled in Bangkok with her husband and family]

Ra's?

Ra, you still have a relationship with Panji, right?

I just saw her with the girls at the Mall, like they're looking for a ring for their fiancee, Ra.

That's how the message came in my phone. Even though I do not expect Kak Panji anymore because I will soon marry Kak Bayu? But, I feel so sick knowing the person I love now has his own love. And without breaking our relationship first and just ignoring me.

'Maybe it is his predestined destiny for you Ra, married to a Bayu Fajar Putra Pradana ex-wife of Faiza Mutia Azahra who is your own older brother.' I said in my heart.

Ra!

Milea sent a message back. I also intend to repay him.

Let it go, Mil! Let him be happy with his partner. He doesn't even remember me anymore, and I won't wait for him anymore!

"I love him so much, we grew up together since childhood, even Kindergarten until our High School was always in the same class. Although we only realized it seven years ago, but it was not a short time and this was the end of my waiting period? Be cool."

"Sometimes I feel life is too cruel to me, it really feels so unfair to me." I said.

This morning papa, mama, was very busy taking care of my wedding needs. I've decided to take a week off on the grounds that I'm going to have a wedding. I carried the Pearl in my hand carrying it basking in the hot sun.

"Pearls of love, kangen are you the same papa? Papa will come home dear." I said while staring at his cute face.

"The mom's boy!" I said while kissing her forehead over and over again. Suddenly the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster Dark Grey entered my yard.

"Whose car is that? Is that papa's guest? But, he did not say anything when he left earlier." I said in wonder while continuing to look at the car that had not been parked perfectly, and how surprised I was when I saw Bayu's sister who came out of the car. Not because his car is readers, but because of his sudden return.

"By!" swipe with a cold expression.

"Sir Bayu? Already home? Isn't it just coming tonight? Then, that car?" I said confused looking at him.

"Because my work is done so I can get home soon, and that car I took from my house before I left town because I had to be alone." he replied as he approached us and was about to touch the Pearl.

"No! Don't touch! You haven't washed your hands yet, you've traveled a long way anyway, so go in first and clean your body!" I shouted forbid, if the Javanese say yes ndak keno sawan.

"Alright" he said as he passed away.

"Yes, he's a rich man, isn't he? Why should I be confused when I see him change cars? At home there must be many more expensive collection cars!" I murmured while staring at that super luxurious car.

"Let's go in, baby! Your father must miss you a lot too." I said to the little guy. I went in and prepared some food for Bayu's sister and put the Pearl on the push cart next to me.

"Why is the house so quiet, Ra? Where's papa, mama, and aunt?" ask Bayu's brother who approached Pearl.

"Of course, papa invites them to take care of our wedding needs."

"Why not wait for me when I get home?" his tanyakan made me frown.

"Sir Bayu, our marriage is only three days away and it's impossible to wait until my sister comes home" I replied looking at her in surprise, while she just looked at me holding a Pearl.

"Let's catch them!" bring Bayu.

"No. Mama told me not to leave the house when our wedding day happened." Readers know the term coined huh?

"Bayu must be tired and not have breakfast yet, right? So, eat and rest first!" imbuhku. Balayu put back the Pearl and sat down at the table and began to eat the food I had prepared. When he finished he went to his room with Pearl in his hand.

'He must have missed her a lot, and I couldn't possibly forbid it, even though I knew he wouldn't be able to rest well when the Pearl was with him.'
