78. Heavy Rival

"Who's Ravi?"

Kirana is shocked at the question with an unpleasant face by Tristan as they arrive home.

"She's my level sister, Nabila, Mas. Why, anyway?"

"Besides the level brother?"

Kirana's forehead is wrinkled. She did not understand the direction of the conversation her husband asked further about Nabila's fiancee.

"Besides your level brother, let alone?" tristan's reset that made Kirana clack up because she felt pressured.

"He's a technical school boy."

"Then?"

"He's the best graduate in his class."

"Otherwise?"

"She's idolized by girls because she knows for herself what she looks like."

Tristan pulled the corner of her lips. "Know much about him. Your past?"

Kirana was stunned to look at Tristan who made baseless accusations.

"You're so scared, Mom," he replied and then intended to go to the bathroom to clean up. His body was too tired to keep up the debate with Tristan.

But her husband who was not satisfied with the answer he gave withheld by blocking his hand. "I know how he looks at you. Your relationship is not just a sister and sister level as appropriate," Tristan said later.

Kirana gave a rough breath. "You want what the hell, Mas?!"

"I just want you to be honest. There's a lot I don't know about you."

Kirana again sighed rudely, "OK, if it can make you satisfied, I make the resume." said Kirana held back upset.

"Sister Ravi is my level brother. Technical faculty …."

"Not to be repeated!" cut Tristan.

Kirana seems to have a lot of patience when facing the jealous Tristan. He looked at Tristan. Her husband was looking at her while folding his hands waiting for her answer.

"She.. used to like me…."

"Until now it is still," Tristan cut again.

"Hm. Then?"

"He once said he likes me. But I refuse."

"Why?" ask Tristan flat.

"Because I wanted to focus on college. Not wanting to date. He said he wanted to wait until I finished college. But we never met and just met again today."

"That means you're still ngarep him?" tuding Tristan's.

"Astaghfirullah's. You've been slandering me ever since, Mas. Been already. I'm tired of taking a break." Kirana drags her steps into the bathroom.

While Tristan was silent in his place, he recalled all the stories of Kirana. Ravi, a good looking man with an oriental face like Korean oppa who is loved by women today. It sounded absurd if Kirana could reject him. He is also a fan of Korean dramas. Tristan often sees his wife spending time watching him. And it is certain that his taste is not far from the cast of the film he watched.

Not only the physical stunning. But hearing all of Kirana's exposure, Ravi was the complete package. Besides being handsome, he is also smart. And the perfectionist Aunt Tiara will certainly match her daughter to a truly established man.

Tristan also gave a rough sigh. He came out of the room to find his mother

"Ma! Ma!" call him to the mother who will just come home from the Nabila event with large bags. Tristan could already guess if the contents of the plastic bag were the leftovers of the event. The habit of his mother who always wraps leftover food if there is an event in his tant house.

"Ma, get Aunt Tiara to cancel Nabila's engagement!" said Tristan approached her mother who was putting her luggage on the dining table.

Madam Ratih frowned. "You're talking as good as your udel. What does it have to do with you, you?"

"Ma, there are still many better men for Nabila, Ma," Tristan said.

"You don't know how hard Aunt Tiara and Ravi's mother tried to persuade them both to start a relationship. Then now you must obey your wishes? For your friend's sake? Or the....You're afraid Ravi's approaching Kirana again?"

Tristan was stunned for a moment. "Kok Mama knows about Kirana and her?"

Madam Ratih laughed mockingly. "Of course you know. Mama talked a lot with Ravi's mom."

Tristan was silent again. Ravi's mother knows about Kirana? How far are Kirana and Ravi's relationships until her mother gets to know Kirana? Questions like that came to Tristan's mind. Really messed up the mind.

"You should know, Kirana's a good woman. Many people want him to be a son-in-law. Because a mother would want a good woman to accompany their son. Beautiful is relative. Every woman will look beautiful in the eyes of the right person. So, take good care of your wife, because there are many out there who want her without your knowledge" said Bu Ratih reminded his son.

Tristan was silent. Mourn her mother's words. A sense of regret re-emerged because he never appreciated Kirana's presence in his life.

"Wi, I got a greeting from Ravi's mother. He was going to talk to you. But you've gone home first." His mother's words spread the reverie of Tristan. Kirana had been standing not far away from him and was fetching drinking water.

"Yes, Ma. Mas Tris rushed home. Mentari is also sleepy," said Kirana.

He also brought a glass of water to the room. Passing Tristan while sticking out her tongue teasing her husband who put on a sour face.
