Rita(The Adventure of the Conglomerate Grandchild)
Chapter 136: Rita's past story
“There's a reason why I acted like this on Rita” Andi started telling stories
“You know the Sugiyono family only has 2 grandchildren, Me and Robby”
“Robby that rough?” ask Daniel
“Yes, apparently you recognize him too, Robby from the past was very rude. When we were kids, he used to bully me. According to him grandfather was unfair for making him continue to train while I was left, it was because of my heart disease”
“How is your heart now?”
“Since getting a new heart I've been much better, but both my grandfathers were so worried about me, that they treated me like a glass cup. We and our cousins are often gathered to train together. Usually Rita who became the months of the cousins, because they envy us”
“Why?” ask Daniel in wonder
“Kakek Sugiyono married 4x, all his wives gave birth to daughters. But only my Grandmother was legally married, the others were only serial. However, Sugi's grandfather did not ignore the children of his wife. Well, mamaRatna was born from the legitimate wife of grandfather, my grandmother was dead when mama was 10 years old.”
“If from another wife you can say they are your brother and sister right? Not cousin?”
“Yeah, we are confused how our relationship is, which obviously me and Rita consider them cousins”
“Then?”
“Grandpa treats me and Rita more special than the other kids, that's why they hate us”
“But your age is only 1-2 years old, almost the same age as all of them”
“Yes right, I'm also confused, it looks like Sugi's grandfather fertilized each of his wives at the same time”
“But it's true too, you cousins, I forgot your mother and their mother brother and sister huh?” Daniel read his words, Andi thought again
“Already, one day I was left alone at home, actually not right alone, but there was only Me and Robby. He was so fad, he took his friends and dragged me to the attic in the barn away from the main house. He said, so that I don't trouble grandpa anymore”
“How old were you then?”
“About 7 years”
“Then what are you doing? “
“I was screaming for help but because of the location of the hidden warehouse no one listened until I heard the sound of girls crying, apparently Rita. At that time, he was between 5-6 years old. He forced dad to go to that warehouse”
“Where did he know you were locked in there? Where was he before?”
“It looks like he's out with dad. As I recall at that time, Mom and Dad were in the process of divorce, so they separated from the house. Every week Rita is invited to stay at the house Ayah”
“You're not coming?”
“I feel not his son, so I always refuse his invitation”
“Then what happened?”
“Dad found me limp in that attic, for not drinking almost all day”
“Oh yes? did your father tell you how he knew you were in the attic of that barn?”
“I remember, Dad told me. At that time Rita was asleep, suddenly she woke up and cried. He asked to be delivered to Grandpa's house immediately. Poor Brother Andi he said repeatedly. At first Dad did not heed his wishes, but Rita continued to force, even he deliberately ran to the middle of the highway to stop the taxi. Dad must be very angry, because his actions endanger him. But Rita keeps forcing him, eventually Dad follows her wishes. I survived because of Rita. Since then I consider Rita my hero”
“You ever asked how he knew you were locked in that warehouse?”
“He told me, back then I didn't understand what he said”
“He said what?”
“Grandma said Andi's sister was in danger, in the attic of barn”
“Appeared Rita indigo child yes?”
“But you don't have to worry about Niel, he's not that weird. It seems like he only reacts to people he cares about, or has interacted with him”
“Is there anything special about Rita?”
“It was like wonder woman, she could not see the weak oppressed. He used to run away most often if Sugi's grandfather told him to practice taekwondo, even he once hid in Darmawan's grandfather's car until he fell asleep.”
“Hidden? Over where? Kog can't be caught?”
“In his trunk, out of nowhere his strength, grandfather's suitcase he lives in front of a big house, he himself goes into the trunk of the car”
“How was he caught?”
“When our driver opened the trunk, he did not find grandfather's suitcase, but the body of a small child curled into bed.”
Daniel smiled amusedly imagining Mr. Darmawan's face seeing a small boy replacing his suitcase.
“Then how?”
“He was forced to return, to exchange Rita for his suitcase.”
“What time did Mr Darmawan not have the feeling that Rita was his grandson?”
“According to grandfather, had time to suspect. But because you also do not know that she was pregnant when she married Reza's father, so yes like this story”
“Oo so, then what about Robby, was he punished?”
“Robby is very good at tongue-lighting and twisting the facts, if there is no Reza's father there, maybe he will escape the punishment of grandfather. But he was sneaky, he said that Rita and I used to play in the woods. Grandpa Sugi does not like people to ignore his ban, so he also punishes us”
“Oh yes? What about Rita?”
“Little Rita is very upset, she does not take the punishment for granted, she throws all the books in the grandpa's study into Robby's head. I'm just amazed how such a little kid can go berserk like that"
Daniel was shocked but also smiled, it was hard not to laugh at that
“Then who calmed him down?”
“Dad Reza, He immediately hugged Rita to stop her, he had trouble, because Rita thrashed with all her strength.”
“I want to know Reza's father, when can I meet him?”
“You can meet him in Sukabumi, he became the head of the hospital there”
“Sukabumi? Away from Jakarta?”
“Yah about 4-5 hours”
“You can take me there? I was curious about the figure of the man closest to Rita since childhood.”
“I don't mind taking you to see him, but we have to get Darmawan's grandfather's permission, because he's very sensitive about Reza”'s father
“Oh yes? why?”
“Grandfather once said Reza's father betrayed him, even though he could be what he is now because grandfather financed his life and considered him his own son. Can be said he is still heartache”
“oo so, maybe now is not the right time huh?”
“Iya right!”
“Btw Ndi, about that Robby, did your grandfather never check his psyche? Why is he so rude?”
“Entailah, grandfather always understood what Robby did, as long as he did not kill people”
“Wah, severe too huh?”
“You've talked to Robby , Niel?”
“He is cruel to women in men he is even crueler. You know my friend God? He was beaten by Robby to the hospital. If there's no Rita, I'm sure God will die?”
“oh yes? looks like among you, only Rita dares to fight Robby?”
“Betul!, Rita is not afraid of Robby even he dared to reply in front of the face of grandfather”
“Really? Can you tell me?”
“You're very interested huh Niel?”
“Of course, I want to know the past of the woman I will marry!” said Daniel
“Eh, you're real Niel?”
“I really mean Ndi, Grandpa Darmawan even challenged me to marry Rita as soon as”
“Really? Is that not a trap?”
“Trap?”
“Iya, Trap, who knows after you applied it turns out Rita rejected you and instead asked to break up from you!”
“What can it be?”
“Yes who knows, we should always be vigilant right? Moreover, the first two grandfathers were very determined to match Rita with Rendy”
“What yes?” he thought, and then he continued his question
“continue your story earlier ndi, exciting once ” said Daniel excited
“One day, We saw Robby playing with one of the ART kids who was wearing a stick. Many times he made her fall. Then Robby threw his wand away, making it hard for him to walk. Grandfather was there, the boy's parents were there too, We were there, but none of us dared to help the child even his own parents. Until Rita runs to pick up the stick Robby threw, with her small legs she ran, she approached Robby and accidentally smashed the stick into Robby's shin until she fell. Robby is furious, but before he gets angry Rita threatens him by hitting the stick on his head. Robby is scared, and he knows Rita hates him. He immediately got up from his seat, away from Rita and the boy. Rita gave the wand to the boy, We all breathed a sigh of relief, Grandfather Sugiyono smiled watching that. He did not punish Rita or Robby”
“Why is Grandpa so?”
“Grandfather often said about the laws of nature, who is strong he will rule. If we are weak, we will be easily overpowered by others. That's also why Sugi's grandfather held a match to train us his grandchildren”
“Unlike Rita not so fond of Grandpa Sugi huh?”
“Iya right, I remember before Mom and Dad divorced, Rita once saw Reza's father beaten by grandfather's bodyguard until battered”
“Oh yes? because what?”
“Call me because Reza's father was caught embezzling Grandpa Hospital money to finance his first wife”
“So Reza's father was married?”
“Yes, but in series, my mother whom he married officially”
“What is Siri?”
“Married Siri was married religiously and not recorded in the law of the country, if they divorced, yes divorced normally, the husband will say talak to the wife. And they got divorced.”
“What's different with contract marriage?”
“Dong difference! Contract marriage is usually due to being tied to a certain period of time. Although they are also married religiously.”
“What do you think your grandfather told me to marry Rita Siri?”
“I think it is impossible, because marrying in series is detrimental to women. Because by marrying Siri, the Wife has no rights to the husband, if the husband suddenly does not give her a living. In addition, the rights of children born from siri marriage also do not exist, as there is no evidence of the state noting that he was born of a legally married couple in the eyes of the state”
“Oo so”
“Maybe grandpa just want a simple wedding, official and agreement, his own recipe after Rita has mature”
“What is it right?” Daniel thought of Andi's words, the sound of the bell shocked them, Daniel opened the door
“Daniel!” call Ratna
“Ya bu?” Suddenly Ratna hugged him
“Thank you my future ghost! You saved my son!” she hugged Daniel tightly
“Iya bu equally” Daniel trying to escape from Ratna.
Ratna held Daniel's face, because Daniel was tall, he bowed
“You are handsome, kind, too. Thank you Daniel! Saranghae!” Ratna kissed Daniel on the forehead, then she approached Andi.
“Andi, you are here also do not say mama, mama has tired to NZ, uh you guys even gather in Jakarta. Waste of money!” Ratna hugged and kissed Andi's cheek while nagging
“Andi also just came ma! This was a few hours ago!”
“Mana Rita?”
“In room bu!” Daniel was delighted that Ratna had considered him his son-in-law
That night Andi returned home, while Ratna waited for Rita at the hospital.
“You didn't go home Niel?” ask Ratna
“I want to wait for Rita bu” said Daniel slowly
“I've heard stories from Andi about you guys”
Daniel is somewhat surprised, his relationship problems have become a common consumption
“I'm wrong mom, I'm sorry “ he said
“Niel, as her mother who knew her since childhood, Rita was brave but also timid. He always felt insecure. You know me and his father divorced since he was little, according to his father he was often traumatized by feeling left alone. I'm with Andi, she's with her busy father.”
“Why is Rita not with you alone bu?”
“When Rita cried not to let go of her father, even she said she did not want to eat if father went away from her. Finally we agreed, Rita went with her father. So Rita was very sensitive about abandonment.Maybe it was ordinary for you, but for her it made her unsettled. He always feels, if ignored means he is not dear. So you have to understand, if Rita rejects you a little! “
Daniel nodded slowly, he thought of a way for Rita to forgive him.
“Oh Yes Niel, When did you return to NZ? Are you the CEO?”
“Maybe I am 2-3 days here, I happen to be waiting for an agreement with a client in Singapore, I think it will be closer if depart from here”
“Hmm...Did Rita say anything to you, Niel?” ratna whispered
“ia still looks pissed on me bu!”
“I have guessed anyway, the more dear to the person the more difficult to forgive him, because it has been considered disappointing”
“Mother any suggestions for Rita to receive me back?”
“Hmm,..I have no idea Niel, later if there I will tell you” whispered Ratna, suddenly he was surprised by the sound of a fast-paced heart rate machine Rita
“Eh Niel, what sound is it?” ratna asked, the two immediately ran to Rita's room, they saw Rita's body convulsing, Ratna panicked and kept calling Rita, Daniel rang the emergency bell to call the guard doctor. A few minutes later the doctor and nurse came into the room, trying to calm down Rita who kept twitching. The doctor injects something into the infusion, then Ritapun back calm.
“It is better that he be brought back to the ICU room, so that we can watch him more intensively” said the doctor.
Rita is taken to the ICU, and Daniel and Ratna follow
