The Bride's Tears Replacement
Chapter 12
At exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, Lady Elvita came to Rafa's house. Intentional arrival to meet with Febi, the woman who dared to run away on the day of the wedding of his son.
The Maids bowed to welcome the arrival of Elvita. So too with love. Febi's the only one who doesn't bow.
"You're Febi?" Elvita asked when she faced Febi.
"Yes, Ma." Answer without burden.
Elvita smiled amusedly and turned her gaze away.
"How dare you call me Mama. Who do you think you are? My daughter-in-law? Cuihh.." Spit to Febi's side.
His gaze was so sharp he stared hatefully at Febi.
"Lucky you're an educated woman. Lucky because your parents are my husband's best friend." Step onto the couch.
Elvita sat there. While all the Maids returned to work on their respective tasks.
"Sit down, Febi." Suggestions later.
Immediately Febi sat on the sofa directly opposite her.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Ask Elvita.
"No, Ma. I'm not scared at all. Because Rafa accepted me and gave me a special place in this house." The answer was firm, haughty and a little proud.
In the middle of their conversation, Cinta came to bring two glasses of orange juice.
"Did Rafa make you Maid in this house?" Past laughing.
Elvita is amused to remember Rafa's muteness that made the woman she married as a servant in her home.
"If I were Rafa, I'd make you not just a Maid." Gurgle juice.
Then, grabbing the Love hijab, until Love sits on her knees on the floor.
"Once upon a lustful gratifier." His whisper was in the ear of Love.
Elvita laughed again. And so did Febi, who also laughed at Love.
And Love, her eyes glazed over. He slowly stood up and walked into the kitchen.
At the company, Rafa just finished a meeting. He was eating his lunch with Jesika.
"Jesika, I have some good company and very coook for you. Give some company CEO business cards.
"For what, sir?" Jesika did not understand.
"Work with one of those company CEOs. I've got to hire a new secretary." He said casually while chewing his lunch.
"Master fired me?"
"Actually not firing. I'm just transferring to a better company." Answer without guilt.
"Master, outrageous. Every day I do my job even more than I should. And now after meeting the women of the village, sir threw me away." Maki Jesika while shouting.
Luckily, they ate in the VIP room. So no one heard the insults of Jesika.
"Love Indira." Shouted Rafa did not lose his challenge.
"The name of Indira Love. Call her Madam." Firmly Rafa while pulling firmly Jesika's chin.
"Don't you ever call that inappropriate. She's my wife." Connect Rafa, then throw down Jesika's rough chin.
Jesika is getting angry. He threw his bag at Rafa's face. Then drop all the plates on the table.
"Fuckin' ass." Shouts rage.
Rafa just stared in anger. His cheeks were bleeding by a chain of Jesika bag straps. His shoes and pants were dirty with food that had been spilled on the floor along with broken plates and glasses.
"I never asked you to do that, Jesika. Have you forgotten, you are the one who pleaded to do so. Remember that." Rafa is more relaxed.
Then he stepped out of the room. Jesika again shouted and raged. Until making Waiter silent in front of the door of the room. He has not dared to enter, for fear of being exposed to the rampage of his customers.
"I swear, I'll destroy you Rafa." His shouting.
Not much different from Jesika, in his car Rafa is also holding back the overflowing emotions of rage. His eyes focused on the screen of his tablet connected to the cctv at home.
"Mmhh haaahh." Its meaning.
Rafa drives his car home. Before that Rafa calls Riko, the chief Admin of the company.
📱"Riko, it seems I will not return to the office. All work related to me, please send by email only." Evidently.
📱"Good Sir." Riko Sahut.
Rafa immediately ended his conversation, then drove his car at high speed.
When Rafa was racing in the street, his house was tense. Elvita talks about the baby in Febi's womb.
"Who's the baby's father?" Pointing Febi's stomach.
"Mama doesn't need to know. One thing's for sure, he's just a regular guy." Answer without guilt.
Elvita held him sharp. There was a tickling feeling that wanted to make him laugh. All because of the fearless and shameless Febi.
"Convince Rafa to marry you and make the baby his heir. Because, I will never be, ever have a granddaughter from the womb of the woman of that village." Elvita.
"good. Whatever it is, just say it."
The two looked at each other. Trying to look deep into each other's minds.
Meanwhile, Love who heard Elvita's words felt a tightness in her chest.
'Oh Allah, should I be in the eyes of Mama?' His inner.
"Hey, village girl." Call Elvita half-screaming.
Love does not hear that call. He was still stuck quietly drifting in his daydream.
"Love.." Shouted Febi.
Love was shocked, until the glass he was holding fell to the floor. The glass was stuck at the tip of his toe.
"O Allah, astaghfirullah.." He said in surprise.
"However? Look at the glass breaking." Maki Febi from her place.
"Sorry, I'll take care of it." Crouching down took the glass shards.
"Let me be Madam." Take a broken glass in the hand of Love.
"Bik Cama, let me just Bik."
"No Madam. If you find out, we'll all be scolded by Mr. Rafa." Obviously Imah while picking up the shard.
Elvita smiled cynically looking at the kitchen. While Febi has stepped closer to Love.
"Bik Imah, let Love clean it all up." Febi's Order.
"No Madam."
"Yes, you like to argue with me. Get out of here." Pulling the hair by force.
"Sick Mistress." His shouting.
"Febi stop. I'm gonna clean this up. Please let go, sister." Trying to remove Febi's hand from my hair.
Elvita was furious at the commotion. He also decided to intervene.
"Stop.." Clown out.
All stopped the fight. They straightened their heads. And at that moment Imah saw the tip of the fingers of Love's feet bleed. But he can't squint at the moment.
"Febi, you better go back to your room. Take good care of your body." Her request.
"Good, Ma."
Febi stepped towards her room. He stared triumphantly at Love.
"And you, village woman." Pulling the chin Rough love.
"It hurts, Ma." Trying to break away.
"ill? Ma'am? How dare you call me Mama." Unravel rough chin Love.
Then, Elvita raised her hand about to slap Love.
Plakkc…
the punch hit the left cheek right. And Love was pushed back, until her feet stepped on the rest of the glass.
"How dare you protect her." Shouted Mama annoyed.
And just as Mama was about to hit again, Rafa came.
"Mama, what's Mama doing in my house?" Shouted Rafa half-run.
All eyes were on him, as was Febi who stopped her steps up the stairs to the room.
"Darling, are you home?" Step closer to Rafa.
At that moment Rafa saw Love sitting on the floor with legs that bleed.
"What did Mama do?" Looking hard at Elvita's eyes.
"Just a little lesson."
Hearing her Mama's reply, Rafa fell silent. Then move closer to love.
The eyes of Love. She knew at this moment Love was crying and tears were already dripping behind her veil.
"Why are you stubborn, love?" Gertak Rafa is arrested.
"I'm sorry Sir." Nervous speech.
Rafa looked at his mother. Then glanced at Febi who was smiling at him.
"Better Mama go home now. Go home, Ma." Suggestion confirms.
Elvita shrugged her shoulders, then left the house with a bitter smile and a feeling of disappointment.
