The Foreign Taste

Aditya Story

"Master, the girl named Ranum was the daughter of Madam Rahayu who had been entrusted to her former roommate, about 15 years ago."

Report from Jeff, one of his trust staff as if like lightning that shocked the world of Aditya at that time.

"Already verified?" Ask Aditya make sure.

"Already, Sir. I've also tested the hair sample of the Madam you gave me with the hair sample of the girl. And the results show 99.99% proven that they are mother and child," Jeff said again.

"You took the girl's hair, Jeff? In what way?"

"It's easy, sir. I just have to take her from the comb that was in the girl's room. Incidentally, the house is always empty in the middle of the day," Jeff said again.

"... "

"So.. do I need to 'clean up' the girl, sir?" Ask Jeff then.

Aditya was pensive for a moment when he heard the question from Jeff.

A dozen years ago he once made a fatal mistake because he intended to kill noah his one-on-one daughter Rahayu. Their marriage was only two months old.

Aditya plans to kill noah Ranum's toddler secretly. He does not want any trace of Rahayu's past with their following lives. And Ranum is a trace that he must remove.

Aditya wants to be his one and only most valuable in Rahayu's eyes. The beautiful woman who managed to tie her heart and make her bend her knees under the power of love to the woman.

Unfortunately, Aditya's intention was leaked. Somehow so that Rahayu can find out her plan. So one night, his wife suddenly left the house without saying anything to him. Rahayu ran away from her.

When knowing Rahayu's departure first, Aditya felt very angry at all his men. Especially to those who are in charge of maintaining the security of the house where Rahayu and herself lived at that time.

To his negligent men, Aditya punished each of them with 50 lashes. There were even two employees who were not strong at that time received the punishment so they had to die shortly after.

But Aditya doesn't care. All she wants is Rahayu to be able to return to her side again. Because a world without Rahayu for him means nothing. And there is no world for him if Rahayu does not exist.

Aditya immediately deployed the entire ranks of gangsters who were under his control at that time. He gave an order so that any of them could immediately bring his wife back to his house in a safe condition. While Rahayu's daughter who was still a toddler, Aditya let them leave her. Or clean it up.

Cruel. Maybe that's the right term to describe Aditya's personality in the eyes of anyone who knows him. The underground life that he had lived from a small age had forged the man to be this cruel.

The mafia world does require him to be a cruel figure who does not heed his feelings. Who is strong, he is the one in power. That was the thought that Aditya's father had always instilled in him since he was a child. And Aditya still believes in that philosophy, even today.

Until then fate makes her meet a cafe waitress who is beautiful and brave personality. The valor of the maid had attracted Aditya in such a way. So that eventually slowly the female servant also managed to make Aditya so fall in love.

Rahayu. The name of the beautiful and again brave cafe waitress.

Back to the night of Rahayu's disappearance.

In the end Aditya's men managed to catch Rahayu back. But they did not get the young woman's baby. And Aditya no longer pay attention to the fate of Rahayu's toddler.

For Aditya, the toddler is Rahayu's past. And, like the past, the baby will be easily forgotten Aditya, because baby Rahayu really does not have special meaning for her. Aditya was sure if Rahayu would feel the same as she felt too.

But, Aditya's guess turned out to miss. Since the night Rahayu returned to her lap, Aditya no longer saw the twinkle of love and smile on her face.

It is precisely the feeling of hate that Aditya managed to catch from Rahayu's face, every time their eyes looked. And this really hurt Aditya.

Since that night, Rahayu continued to reject her. The woman refused every touch. Once he touched Rahayu without her will, and she was made to regret. Because the next day the woman tried to ingest the insect venom to end her life.

Aditya finally felt defeated. He was defeated by the will of the one-on-one woman he loved in this world, but so hated her even more choose to die than to have to live with the man again.

Since the tragic incident of noah's mother's experiment, Aditya no longer dared to touch Rahayu. But he also did not want to let go of the woman.

He imprisons Rahayu under his control, with threats to the safety of his daughter's baby. With the threat, Rahayu no longer tried to escape or hurt herself. But Aditya also no longer dare to touch Rahayu more than a kiss when the wife is asleep in a dream.

Because Aditya knew, if the two netra owned by his wife was aware of his existence, Aditya would not be able to approach Rahayu any closer. Because of the hatred so obvious that he could even feel it.

Ah.. Squeeze..

Feel really the feeling of love felt by Aditya. But Aditya is unable to release himself from the power of his love for Rahayu.

The man had fallen into a deep abyss of love. Which he believed was no longer able to measure the depth of what it was like. Do not measure it, just feel it already feels heavy for Aditya.

"Leave it first. Wait for the next news from me!" Aditya's word to Jefri finally.

The man decided to observe first, how the continuation of Rahayu's reaction to the girl named Ranum.

But it would be nice if his wife did not need to see Ranum again. So Rahayu will remain his loving wife to him. Although that means Rahayu will not regain her old memories.

Meanwhile at Ranum's house at night..

Time has shown at 11pm now. Ranum and Kania have long fallen asleep in their respective dreams.

Only Nanda and Nida are still awake in her room. Nanda had just finished forming a pattern on the cloth that he would sew the next day. While Nida just finished praying. Now both of them are sitting on a bed. With Nida's head resting on her husband's shoulder.

"So, we're gonna tell Ranum about his real birth mother, Dad?" Asked Nida in a soft voice.

"Yes, dear.Ranum's age is enough to make her understand her true identity. He has the right to know who his biological parents are" Nanda said in a definite tone.

"Hhhhhh.." Nida breathed deeply. His fingers played the tip of the husband's pajama shirt that he held from earlier.

"Is Ranum ready to find out, Dad? Is Ranum willing to forgive us for keeping this secret from him all this time?" Nida asked worriedly.

"According to Mother, is Ranum a vengeful person? Mommy certainly knows Ranum better than Dad knows him. So Mommy must know, if our daughter will be able to receive this news well."

"Because whoever the blood that flows in his veins, Ranum is still our good daughter. Not even from the hands of Mother, she managed to grow up to be a good teenage daughter. And also Kania. So, Bund, do you think it's okay with him?" Pinta Nanda to Nida.

Nida took a breath back. After some time she thought back to her husband's words earlier, Nida's mind was finally able to calm down after thinking about Ranum's later reaction when they told her about the true identity of their eldest daughter.

"Father's right. We must trust Ranum, yes. She's our stoic and tough daughter!" Nida in the end.
