STEVA'S PASSION

UNCOVERED

Dev enjoys his bitter, sugarless black coffee while playing his cell phone sitting on the couch in the living room of Razz's mansion. He is Razz's best friend who is also a relative of Razz's late father. Dev sends a message to Razz and Tan to get home as he arrives and waits for Razz to arrive.

Suddenly there was a noise coming from the front.

"Where is the boy? The insolent! That's outrageous!" the scream of a woman who was quite familiar in Dev's ear, Dev then stood up when the woman who shouted had reached the middle room and faced him.

"Aunty?" exclaim Dev gets a surprise.

She is Amora who came from abroad after finding Razz home alone without taking Liora with him.

"The dev? You're here?" yelled Amora who was also surprised by Dev standing in the middle room of Razz's house.

"Yes, I just got here, Aunty. Liora?" the direction of Dev's eyes shifted to the girl standing next to Amora with a puffy face, and there were many wounds on her face and hands that began to heal, as well as bandages that wrapped her forehead.

"H-ha hi, Dev!" liora's heart was not well, she was afraid something bad would happen because Amora forced her to come with her to Razz at her house, where Liora realizes that there is another woman who has legitimately become Razz's wife, and Razz also loves her.

"Liora's? You why?" dev asked looking at the injuries, and Liora's face looked swollen, eyes swollen like a lot of crying, the pale face without a lot of makeup polish, too, even the lips that he used to decorate with red lipstick now look deathly pale.

"He just had an accident, Dev. Thankfully he is fine! God protect her." Amora answered Dev's question.

Hearing someone who shouted, Steva who was in the backyard helped Asha lift the clothesline quickly went inside after Asha who carried a basket of clothes behind her.

"DIG!"

Highlight Amora's eyes stared intently at Steva who was standing there nervously with trembling hands but Steva tried to stay calm, Steva knew that if the woman standing near the living room couch was her mother-in-law, Mommy Razz, Steva had seen her picture on Razz's phone screen several times when she made a call via WhatsApp on Razz.

Gulnora sprinted from the kitchen after hearing Amora's arrival.

"Good afternoon, big lady!" greeting Gulnora while bowing her body, her hands clinging to each other politely.

"Good afternoon, Miss Liora!" gulnora greeting the girl who stood next to Amora who finally Steva knew, she was the woman named Liora whom Dev had mentioned earlier.

"Where's Razz?" shouted Amora.

"Sister Stev?" lirih Asha whispered to Steva, and Steva asked her to go back and finish her work.

"But Brother?" Asha is not sure. She was afraid that something would happen to Steva considering the great Master who had never introduced her to the great Madam Amora. But Asha complied with going from there.

"Master's still in the office, ma'am!" gulnora solemnly replied.

"Call him right now, and tell him to get home!" amora snapped at Gulnora who immediately got a nod, and Gulnora who entered half-bent backwards to immediately contact Razz. But a second later. The voice stopped Gulnora's steps and grabbed everyone's attention.

"I'm here, Mom!" seloroh Razz who suddenly came walking fast towards Amora, until,,,,

"Relax!"

"Well!" Steva was surprised, she covered her mouth that was about to scream, Amora slapped hard on Razz's cheek as the man had reached Amora's presence.

"Bad! You put where your brain is, Razz? You go home and leave your wife at her parents' house, are you crazy?" amora shouted with emotion.

"DIG!"

Somehow describing it, Steva's heart seemed to stop beating, her heart broke again so badly, Amora called another woman as the wife of her husband.

Razz looked at Steva who was still standing not far from the door leading to the backyard, Razz knew Steva was in shock.

"Plac!"

"Shameful! What kind of a man are you, huh?" Amora doesn't know anything, she doesn't know if Liora has betrayed Razz and even conceived a fetus from another man, which they're forced to hide, because if Amora finds out, Devne is afraid Amora won't agree, and the disgrace of his family can be widespread, for the sake of keeping the honor of Liora, Razz just kept it all away from Amora the Mommy.

"Wife?" lirih Steva caught everyone's attention, Steva was still standing even though she almost fell down after hearing Razz's statement calling Liora's name, Steva's hand resting on the edge of the table near the glass wall.

"Stev's?" Razz runs up to him, Razz is about to hug Steva's trembling body, but Steva retreats in denial.

"Look, honey? I can explain everything, it's not what you think it is. Stev?" Razz's sentence stopped, he felt so sick to see Steva who was already in tears because of him. Razz feels pain as he hurts the woman he loves.

"You're married again? And you have another wife besides me?" steva asked in a voice so soft.

"Stop this drama!" snapped Amora.

He then stepped quickly to pull Razz's hand so that his son faced him, even though Razz's body towered higher than him who was already wearing high heels.

"What's this?" Amora pulls Razz's face mask right in front of Steva. Until plastered handsome face Razz actual, jaw firmly, and smooth facial skin. Dismantle the lies Razz has been doing all this time.

"DIG!"

Steva's body is increasingly vibrating with a heartbeat that is increasingly tight irregular. Even Steva only realized that Razz also saw himself clearly earlier. If Razz comes to him with the look in his eyes that stare right at his bead, if Razz is not blind.

"What is all this, Razz? You're wearing a mask, and you're not blind, either?" lirih Steva doesn't believe it. It's like a donkey that Razz has lied to all out.

"Suckers! You're gonna curse my son blind?" amora snapped which made Steva retreat aghast, afraid.

Razz's eyes were closed, her eyes filled with tears, for the first time the cold man cried after so long his last cry was at the death of his father. Razz's heart throbbed pain in a chaotic situation.

"Get you out of my son's house! You're not expected here!" yelled Amora who was about to pull Steva's hand but with a quick movement Razz immediately gripped Amora's hand stopping her.

"She is my Wife, Mom. Accept it or not, she is my legal wife, and she has the right to stay in this house" Razz stared intently at Amora as she rose to blackness, his son who was always obedient and never denied today had been insolent to him, raising his voice and glaring his eyes disrespectfully, for the sake of a woman who was considered obscure.

"Plac?" Amora slaps Razz again after she manages to pull off Razz's rough hand that tightly grips her hand.

"Razz's?" amora shouted furiously pointing at Razz's face with her index finger.

"Get in the room, Stev," said Razz, who did not take his eyes off Amora.

Steva didn't budge and she shook her head.

"Steva's? Get into the room, this is an order!" razz's snapping at his wife who was crying more and more made him jump in shock, nervous, and afraid.

Steva braced herself so that she could move her stifled body and Steva ran up the stairs into the main room accompanied by tears and a broken heart.
