The Duda's Beloved Girl

33. Still mourning

 “Wow, here we are waiting for! Finally after a long time did not meet in the end now we meet again Clarisa,” Xander said while grinning towards Clarisa.

Clarisa finally dared to look at Xander.

“Yes, nice to see you back, papa-in-law,” replies Clarisa as if ex-Xander by calling her papa-in-law.

“Oh Clarisa, apparently you are still the same as before. Women who do not know themselves, just like your late mother too,” reply Xander.

Clarisa's face flushed red as Xander carried her mother's name in the matter.

“Shut up! You have no right to say it.”

Xander chuckled softly then advanced and approached Clarisa. Xander looked at Clarisa from top to bottom and clucked.

“Then what right do you recognize Devan as your child when it is not?!”

 

Clarisa instantly fell silent as Xander instead attacked her fiercely. Clarisa knows, Xander's not an indiscriminate person. He couldn't possibly not know if all this was just his wits. Two years he had not faced her directly but now they were reunited with him who again sought trouble with Devan.

“Why shut up Clarisa? What your silence will mean here,”, said Xander again.

Devan who heard him immediately chose to sit on the sofa with his leisure, Xander just let him, he could nag his son later but at this time the important thing is to teach his former daughter-in-law a lesson.

“Already, pa. Now just tell me what your purpose is to bring me here. I don't have much time to talk nonsense with you,” Clarisa said in the end.

Xander went back to his desk and opened his drawer, and he picked up a very thick brown envelope. After he picked it up, Xander stepped back and approached Clarisa. Xander gives Clarisa the envelope containing the money and puts it in her hand.

“This money is enough to pay for your rotten mouth! so I told you to come here just for clarification about what you said in Korea. And you should also thank me for not suing you and instead giving you money. Because of you my company suffered a considerable loss,”

“That's it?” asked Clarisa while frowning her forehead.

Devan smiles cynically and then chimed in on their conversation, “Cla, that's just a condition from papa. Not to mention me, I must also give you punishment so that your beautiful mouth is no longer acting,”

Xander thumbs up at Devan. At first, Xander was angry because Devan was silent about his relationship with the woman again. But he investigated it too, for there was doubt in his heart that Devan would do such a thing. Xander entrusts everything to Aris, fortunately Xander tells Aris to follow Devan. Aris is very useful in this regard. Aris tells Xander everything that Devan is only helping Clarisa.

“If I do I will also be ruined! I don't want to lose my job as a model,”

Devan clucked, when only last night he saw the look of regret and fear from Clarisa. But now he's in trouble again.

“I only give you two options, you clarify or I will report you to the police. It's easy for me to look for evidence because I'm innocent here. And of course your lover's name will be dragged in this case,”

Clarisa did not answer anything anymore. Being trapped in this room means that he also has to be ready with all the possibilities.

Coming home from her mother's funeral, Lala went straight into Siti's room. He opened the door slowly as usual. Usually the first thing he saw was his mother who fell asleep in the bed. But now, there is no longer a body that always sleeps on the mattress, only the pillow and bolsters are left.

Lala stepped her feet towards the small bed, she sat on it looking around the room.

Her tears were gone because she was crying too much today. Lala never expected that she would lose her mother figure so soon. Lala hugged her mother's bolster while inhaling her scent. When Lala coolly hugged the bolster, Lala suddenly remembered the white letter that had wanted to open at that time.

He woke up and got off the bed to get the letter again. Lala suddenly wondered about the contents. For at that time he had almost opened it, but not because of fear of his mother knowing it.

In a hurry Lala immediately tore the envelope and took the paper inside. Lala opened it and read it. Lala was shocked as she read the contents, her tears flowing back down her cheeks.

Name: Siti

Queue number: 2104

Age: 50 years

Status: Widow child 1

Diagnosis: Heart cancer

The patient was suspected of having cancer symptoms two years ago. It was proven when in his cancer check was late stage. It is too late to follow up. Because his heart was also damaged by cancer that gnawed at him. So thank you. This is the diagnosis made by Dr. Farhan.

 

Ttd: Doctor

Regent: Devan Praditya Revanuel

 

Lala shook her head while covering her mouth in disbelief.

“So all this time mom has cancer?” ogre.

He felt more and more to himself because all this time he just let his mother just like that. Lala should have forced her mother to take her to the hospital and confirmed her illness. But what did he do? Just because her mother refused Lala did not take her to the hospital.

“Sorry, Lala ma'am. Lala has failed to look after mom. Lala has also broken a promise to dad,”

Lala hugged the letter in her hand and came back crying. Even though her tears had not come down again, the tightness in her chest was unbearable. Lala really feels guilty. If only Lala could be more capable than this maybe she could take her mother to the hospital until she recovered. But Lala is just a teenage girl who is forced to be strong by circumstances. It should be at a very young age that he should enjoy his teenage years just like any other child.

The thing he was afraid of happened again. Lala hates to lose because she lost a father.  And now she also has to lose her mother figure in her life. Now she was just a little girl who had no one left in her life.

Lala sat herself on the floor and hugged her knees. He is alone now. There was no one she always talked to when she was sad. No more smiles from a mother. Lala smiled bitterly, now she was really alone. The pain did not stop there, Lala had to feel bitter more painful.

In addition to finding the hospital letter, Lala also finds a drug next to the drawer.Lala concluded, her mother took all the drugs to kill herself.
