THE HERITAGE HOUSE
PART 61'S. IN RAISA'S ROOM
"Why did you suddenly ask me that?" Raisa felt a cold aura on her skin. Diki's attitude is different, what happened? But Raisa just felt a warmth.
"Tell me the truth! I hope you don't wander, "Filled with resentment in Diki's heart, she keeps moving closer to Raisa.
Then for a moment Raisa thought, is there a strong reason someone attacked her? Hearing Diki's words, Raisa guessed for herself, did she do something that had offended someone?
"You mean, I'm having this kind of bad luck because I've done something?" Raisa doesn't understand yet. His brain is digesting.
Diki walked towards Raisa with her straight gaze as if she was suppressing anger in her calm demeanor.
"Don't I say it before, let me take care of it and you don't go too far in acting. You don't obey me."
Raisa's pale face and dry skin on her lips gave off a confused look. Supposedly with Raisa's condition, people will be pity to see it but not with Diki. He was very upset and wanted to be angry with Raisa. How disappointed Diki was with Raisa's actions behind her.
If it was a little late, I don't know what would happen to Raisa. Diki could not imagine that bad thing lingering in his mind.
Raisa is still silent. He tried to study, then finally Raisa understood now. In her mind, Raisa tried to relate this incident to her previous actions. It has to do with Tedi. Soon Raisa realized it.
Since at least Raisa had known Diki, she could guess. Right now, Diki would definitely want to scold him. Therefore, before Diki kidnaps him, Raisa tries to distract him.
"A–aduuuh.. This still hurts, I'd better rest." Raisa acted and turned her back to Diki and wrapped herself in a hospital blanket.
Diki who was right next to him, just silently watched Raisa with a sharp look.
Raisa immediately closed her eyes and her behavior as if ignoring Diki's presence.
"You want to avoid me, Dad?" Diki's voice was close to Raisa's ear. Diki deliberately spoke so close because she knew Raisa would not talk to her.
Diki's breath was felt once on Raisa's cheek and it made Raisa not wrinkle to cold sweat. Plus passing the previous scene, when Raisa undressed in front of Diki. How much Raisa was burned with shame. It felt like Raisa wanted to drown herself into the ocean and did not want to come face to face with Diki.
The distance of the tip of Diki's nose that almost touched Raisa's cheek, made Diki feel the heat turmoil. The woman in front of him was acting at once like she was teasing him. For a second Diki's eyes clearly saw the face of Raisa who was so close. Raisa's face looks pale that is, which finally makes Diki undo his intention to force Raisa to talk. Diki let Raisa rest and she straightened her body then turned towards the chair.
Maybe for Diki, this is not the right time to discuss it. He prefers to give up.
Silence enveloped the room, Raisa was still trying to close her eyes. For now, Raisa has not wanted to discuss anything because she is not ready to face Diki.
While Diki was still in his position, he calmly sat down while opening the phone. There's something he needs to investigate.
Amidst the silence, someone entered abruptly. "Oh, Raisa... What happened to you?" Mom Lydia came rushing in, as soon as the door was opened. Miss Lydia looks impatient.
Something shocking made Raisa reflexively open her eyes along with Diki who turned her head towards her. Raisa who looked at Diki immediately nodded. Raisa became misbehaved because Diki shone a sharp spotlight at her. Raisa guessed that Diki already knew that she was pretending to be asleep.
"I was just a minor wound, really. I don't need to worry too much," Raisa tried to calm down the panicked-looking Ms. Lydia upon seeing her condition.
"How come I wasn't worried, when I heard your news, I rushed over. Diki too, why not tell Mom?" said Ms. Lydia by showing an annoyed face. She was the one who panicked the most when she heard Raisa was hurt but her son did not tell her instead.
In the past few years, only this time did Raisa see again the sincere and pure gaze of her eyes as directed by Ms. Lydia. It reminded him of his late mother.
"Tell me, which part of it hurts?" Ms. Lydia looked more attentive to the point of ignoring Diki who was beside her.
"Ah that..." Raisa hasn't finished her speech straight away getting a warm hug from Miss Lydia.
The warm embrace of Miss Lydia made Raisa feel a gentle feeling. Raisa missed this feeling ever since her mother died. Because of such a harsh life, Raisa forgot that she also still needed affection. He was used to going through the difficulties of living on his own.
Looking at the loving face of the middle-aged woman in front of him, Raisa felt as if something was gripping her heart.
Every time she faced Diki who sometimes irritated Raisa, Raisa always remembered that her in-laws were so loving and kind at the same time Raisa was devastated to keep this marriage with Diki. Even a bit of anxiety slipped in Raisa's heart, she was afraid that Miss Lydia would know the previous motive that was targeting her parents' inheritance. Will Lady Lydia ever forgive Raisa if she finds out?
"Diki, have you investigated this case? Look at your wife's condition, you won't forgive anyone who hurt her." Miss Lydia turned to Diki while warning him.
"Yes, I know what to do. Mama calmed down, everything was taken care of," Then Diki glanced at Raisa.
Diki's glance made Raisa not warted. Raisa knew, her glance had a hidden meaning. Although at first there was some relief in Raisa's heart, finding that Diki did not talk about her in front of Lady Lydia but still the worry passed through Raisa's mind.
"I went out for a while and while Mama could chat with her,"
Diki exited the room, she was looking for Rio.

In the back of the hospital.
Rio enjoyed a cup of coffee accompanied by Emilia. Since a few minutes ago, Rio did not say much. Sometimes he just sipped his coffee and then struggled with his phone. It was like a joke to Emilia.
"Hey, I'm here." said Emilia.
"Yes, I know. Thank you for buying me a cup of coffee."
"From now on you're cuey. You are well, besides answering 'yes' and 'no' there are no words that make our conversation connect. Make sprains..."
"Tell me what the Doctor wants to say, but don't ask. I'm not answering,"
Actually Rio avoided the chatter that was discussing about Diki. Rio had gotten to know Emilia who had always been finding out about Diki from him.
"I'd rather ask, unfortunately,"
"I'll keep quiet,"
The two are stubborn. Emilia started to get anxious with Rio's attitude.
"Ok, okay. To the point, I don't want to talk anymore either. Free." Regret filled Emilia's face. He went on to say, "Hendrik will be here and reportedly he has affairs related to The Black Jack,"
Rio almost spouted out his drink as soon as he heard Emilia's words. He was very surprised.
