The Beloved of the Heir

9. Israel's Happiness.

"Who is he?" asked Erlangga who continued to squeeze the body of Israel until stuck to the closet door.

"Huh?" The bewildered Israel heard the question from Erlangga, instantly opening her eyes.

Their eyes met each other, Erlangga's breath scented with mint felt on Israel's face, really tempting faith in a time like this. However, Grael continues to try to think of Rangga so that his heart is not swayed by the good looks of his former idol.

"Is he your girlfriend?" asked Erlangga who was still looking at the girl's eyes fixedly.

Hearing the question from Erlangga, made Israel speechless. He did not know if his self with Rangga was a pair of lovers or just a friend but friendly.

"Yes," said Israel by deciding to answer yes, so that Erlangga does not tease him constantly.

It was so painful to hear the statement from the lips of the girl, her heart was so slashed and disappointed. Wanting to be selfish to have her right now, locking the girl up just for herself, pouncing straight on her so that no one could have her, but she came to her senses. Getting a golden-haired rabbit must be patient and it takes hard struggle.

"Go home, it's night." Erlangga pushed Israel's body out of her room.

Grael only fell silent, when he saw Erlangga's expression that looked angry. He got out of the room and rushed home with Erlangga's private driver.

"Jeez ... nih son, this hour just came home!" Gracia lays her waist down when she sees Israel coming into the house.

"What the hell, brother? I'm cape, I'm gonna take a shower!" Israel just passed the brother.

"You're home, El?" ask the mother who just came out of the room.

"Yes, mah ... Israel take a shower?" Israel kissed the mother's hand.

Gracia, who was upset with her sister's attitude, did not accept if her mother continued to spoil Israel and never protest with what her youngest child did. Gracia also told her mother that it was not good for Israel to go home from school directly to her friend's house.

The mother just smiled, seeing her eldest son who was more worried and concerned for Israel, she just wanted her two children to be happy without restraint since the father was gone.

"Well, don't get too good at him! Later he can do things beyond the limits we don't know." Gracia was sitting next to her mother when she was in the living room.

"Mama believes in your brother, including you. You can keep your good name mamah and also the good name of the late father." The mother, Karina, smiled at Gracia.

Gracia hugs her mother while telling her about her relationship with Marvin, the owner of the hotel where she works, she tries to explain to her mother that Marvin will come in two days to propose.

Karina is very happy to get good news from the child, she will also not hesitate to talk about the matter of the matchmaking Israel has made by her best friend to her late husband.

"What's? How, Mama said it was sudden? Lagian Israel is still in school, Ma!" gracia protests who just learned the news of the matchmaking of her sister.

Karina has not told her two children, because she is afraid to offend Gracia who has not been proposed by her lover, she is afraid Gracia is angry because Israel has overstepped her brother. Therefore, Karin has not told anyone.

"Geez Mah, Gracia is okay if indeed Israel wants to step over Gracia, just ... Cia who disagrees with it, because El is still in school Ma ... his future is still long!" Gracia picked up the beans that were in the jar.

"Mama said so, too, but ... Mr. Louis called Mama on, asking about the meeting schedule," said Karina who was confused.

Hearing the mother's words, Gracia could only suggest, that the meeting with Louis's family after her proposal with Marvin. After that, there was a meeting between the Gerald family and the Louis family. However, Gracia will ask the Louis family to postpone the marriage, as Israel still has to pursue her ideals.

"What the hell is that talking? Speaking of El?" Israel who has bathed and brought a plate of rice and side dishes so much. He sat next to his mother and blamed the television.

"Jeez, lo abis nguli?" asked Gracia who was astonished by the portion of her brood.

"Go home, bring Lo! Dah sono, back to kosan!" israel is upset with the Kaka, though her heart misses Gracia at home.

"Excused?" Gracia immediately snatched the television remote from her sister's hand.

"What the hell, aaah! People are good to watch, play change," protested Israel who did not accept if the soap opera event was replaced with another event.

Karina who saw her two children fighting while both of them were at home, was delighted. For Karin, it becomes a warm house when her heart is sad when later her children will leave her alone in the house left by the husband.

"Eh, uh, uh ... Lo's mother nangis noh," reluctantly told Grael to his brother when he wanted to bribe rice using his hands.

Gracia immediately hugged the mother and asked her mother why she could cry, Karina was again smiling to get warm treatment from her son. She was just talking, that she wasn't crying but she was happy because in a moment, her two children were already there to look after her.

Grael choked on hearing from his mother, commenting that the married man was his brother while he was still living with his mother.

"Son, your late father has betrothed you to his best friend's son. Yesterday the Louis family called Mama to meet with her family. I'm sorry if mama just said it now" said Karin, who made Israel really choke.

"Mangkanya .. if you eat tuh, bargain! Let's not sniffle mulu." Gracia gave water to her sister.

Grael did not believe the words of his mother, he immediately drank water to help swallow the rice that was a little difficult to swallow. He also asked again about the seriousness of the mother's words.

Karin tries to explain to Israel slowly so that Israel is not angry let alone reject the match, Gracia who saw the look on the face of the sister who gawked, finally stuffed with basil leaves.

"Mama seriously? I want to be fooled by Om Louis' son?" asked Grael who frowned while taking out the basil leaves from his mouth.

"Yes, his name is Rangga, this is his picture." Karina hands the phone to Israel.

Like getting the lottery, the heart of Israel was so happy when he was properly betrothed by Rangga, he saw a picture of the young man who laughed while sitting on a motorcycle, so cool with the typical style of Rangga.

"No! What the hell, mah! Is it still the age of lovebirds?" Grael swiped Karina's phone with a cynical look on her face. But his heart cheered happily.

"El .. lo if you do not want to be betrothed, yes already .. ordinary dong, face! Wry, already rich pentill guava front home." Gracia rubbed the face of her sister.

"Not funny! Ih ... The hand smells of salted fish!" Grael wiped his face with a tissue.

"Gue forgot to wash his hands with soap earlier," Gracia laughed.

Karina's face turned grim, when her guess was right, that Israel rejected the match. Gracia also told Israel to apologize to the mother and accept the proposal without going against orders from her mother.

"OK, okay ... Grael wants to be betrothed to Rangga, Mama don't be sad anymore. This is also sister Cia who is pinta, satisfied!" Grael immediately put his dirty plate on the kitchen sink and entered the room while slamming the door, as if he was forced to accept the match.

"Relax Mah .. Love comes from habituation. Cia knows how El is." Gracia hugged her mother so as not to worry about Israel.

On the other side.

After slamming the door, Israel immediately jumped on his mattress while dancing with excitement. Wreaking his pleasure, because it turns out he was really betrothed by Rangga.

Her heart was truly happy when the prediction of her pitch-black world for a week, there was finally a bright glimmer of hope. Israel continued to jump happily until she finally fell out of bed.

"Aakkk," ringis Israel was in pain when she fell on the floor.

The mother and sister of Israel who were in the living room were immediately shocked, hearing a loud bang from inside the room of Israel, Gracia knocked on the door to make sure the sister.

"El, why are you?" ask Kaka panic.

"It's okay brother! There's just a cockroach, "elak Israel.

"Oh my goodness .. I guess you fell!" garcia shouted from behind the door.

"Sister! I'm okay." Grael tried to get up and sit on the bed but his legs hurt so much.

"Thank God, you're okay." Gracia sat back with her mother and watched Erlangga's re-broadcast on television.

Gracia also told the mother that she had an offer to provide services to one of the hotel guests named Erlangga, but Gracia was confused by the request of the artist. Until the problem is handled by Marvin himself.

In the room.

"It hurts!" Israel cried as her legs tried to walk, and she massaged herself with warm oil.
