Rheas

Part 12: Grandpa's Mansion

“Welcome Miss and Young Master. Sir is already waiting for you in his private room.” The arrival of Rhea and Daffa at the Lavina mansion was immediately warmly welcomed by the rows of beautiful maids who were able to blind the eyes.

The maids look very classy. With a long dress that almost swept the floor. His hair was long, breaking down to the waist on average. Their hair is painted beautifully in colors ranging from light brown to bright red.

There are also some of them who wear eccentric colors such as green, blue or red but still can not beat their aura is very strong.

They will generally have a beautiful slim body coupled with long legs with bright average skin color. There are also some who are synthetic and molecular, but because they are required to wear heels on their beautiful legs, making the difference does not look so obvious.

“One, two, three.” Rhea looked astonished at Daffa as her hands continued to count how many beautiful women were there.

“I think they're about fifteen." Rhea looked at him confused.

"The girls wearing long dresses are in charge of each room. The other girl in a black and white suit was their assistant. Every girl has at least five assistants and also at least one child.” Daffa flicked his shoulders complete with his super nosy look to Rhea.

“Child?” Rhea was stunned, but still tried hard to compensate for Daffa's extremely wide footsteps to make it difficult for her.

"Yes, a child who is so tiny but has the status of my uncle or aunt because he is a direct descendant of grandfather." Daffa doesn't usually look this hard.

“Let's just say that grandpa is emperor.” Daffa suddenly stopped his footsteps, causing Rhea's body to crash right behind his back.

“Then they are the ladies.” Daffa flipped his body instantly and deliberately teased Rhea by looking at her in a very close distance.

Rhea's face turned red but she kept her position so close, without switching. The girl was only as tall as her shoulder, even if she had given her heels high enough to be able to compensate for it there would not be much change.

“You know, there is only one empress and it will never be replaced.”

“Who?” rhea was getting interested.

“My grandmother." Daffa resumed his steps which were immediately followed by Rhea.

"He's been dead since we were so small. But my grandfather loved her very much. She did have a dozen ladies by her side, but never thought of sitting them on the throne of the empress.” Rhea ber oh ria.

“Oh yes, the girl. The girl who greeted you at the door.” Daffa pointed at someone not far from her.

“His name is Sheryl, she holds the highest position among the ladies. And only he can enter Grandpa's private room."

"Actually he was my grandmother's youngest brother. Her age is not so far with me, I even used to call her by the name of sister, and not Miss or any other formal greeting let alone grandma.”

"They are specially recruited people. Sheryl has completed her doctorate in economics. The other girls are the grandchildren of the conglomerate, there are foreign language masters, doctors, the best cooks, martial arts experts and also some other special people. They're racing to get a place here. 'Mansion Lavina'."

At least that's the picture of how important the Adya Utama Family is in the eyes of the classy people. Not only domestically, even those from abroad are willing to sacrifice their time to be able to move and join Adya Utama.

Daffa again continued his steps towards his grandfather's room followed by Rhea. Given how classy the maids who work in the house, Rhea immediately changed her image into a classy woman through the eyes and style of speech made as elegant as possible.

“Hai, you're finally here. You know how long I've been waiting for my beloved granddaughter to arrive. He even prefers to honeymoon first before going to see me.” Gurau the frail grandfather who looked so helpless with so many hoses attached to his body.

“How's my condition? I heard you are quite capable in the medical field.” asked the friendly grandfather to Rhea who seemed to be observing the whole condition of grandfather remotely.

“Do not call him Master, this house is the only place where you can feel very comfortable and do not need so many pleasantries.” Daffa immediately jumped up onto the grandfather's bed and hugged him very tightly

“I miss you very much Cake.” The old man seemed to be smiling very happily with the spoiled manner of the granddaughter who was writhing spoiled in his arms.

“Casual? Then why did he ask me to dress up like this?” lirih Rhea grumbled. But it was enough to be heard by him and also grandfather.

“Didn't you feel inferior to the grandpa girls earlier? That's why I asked you to dress up.” Daffa replied which immediately upset him.

“ So when are you going to give me a grandson? It's been three years no, stop playing around. I think my company is enough to finance your lives even if you don't have to work.”

Both seem so wrong. It was a topic they thought would never be discussed during their marriage years.

“I'm planning it. You just have to wait for the good news.” Ceplos Daffa was instantly answered by Rhea's sharp gaze to him.

“I'll move here.” Rhea was again stuck.

“What do you mean, instead of you not liking.” Rhea deliberately hangs her sentence.”

“Don't like living in Lavina's mansion? It's not, but I'll stay in this mansion with grandpa.” Daffa further tightened his embrace on the grandfather's body.

“Mansion Lavina is the name for the mansion that surrounds this mansion. It was the house occupied by the girls. He hated having to be one of them.” Grandfather smiled very happily when explaining.

Rhea dared herself to come closer and sit on the side of the other grandfather's bed. Flanking grandfather's body between himself and Daffa.

“I pleaded guilty to having to kidnap her there the other day. It was supposed to be my wedding anniversary and her nenenk. But he hated coming to his grandmother's mansion. As I recall he had sacrificed so many tears during his stay there before.” Rhea nodded.

Rhea's hand stretched out to massage the already frail grandfather's body. Each touch felt so sincere to the grandfather that the tears of the man slowly began to melt following his feelings.

“My son wants you so badly to be his daughter-in-law. I didn't understand the reason at first, but I saw you in person. I know that all his hard work to protect you all this time has paid off. Because the child he raised has grown into a beautiful and loving girl.”

“Protect me?” Rhea seemed very confused by a small secret that was revealed by the grandfather.

“My father sent you away from Mr. Aziel Naratama's house. Both of your foster parents are confidants of our parents. Maybe you've remembered my father, because as I recall he visited you very often before he died.”

Rhea was draining her memory, but not much of it had returned. He cannot remember it clearly. There were so many silhouettes that he could not recognize from the flash of his past. But there was one thing he remembered for sure, that all his memories of Daffa were still quite pleasant memories to remember.

“You rest! I've asked Sheryl to prepare the room and all your needs. I also need some time to rest now, your husband has held me for so long. My whole body feels more and more sore because of it.” Guru grandfather who instantly melted the atmosphere.

Rhea and Daffa spent some time before dinner in a very awkward atmosphere. There were so many secrets that asked to be revealed once he entered this grand mansion. But he was unable to question the truth at all.

“Deplace your clothes with something comfortable! I know you've been having trouble since.” The word of Daffa that was somehow directly obeyed by Rhea was not as usual.

“What he was too confused, to forget to fight.” Sindir Daffa.
