THE HERITAGE HOUSE
PART 71'S. CHARM OF RIO
They did not know, that man was Rio. Rio's age is only two years younger than Diki but her face is baby face so she looks younger than her age. One would think Rio was a teenager growing up.
The women were more astonished by Raisa. Just now there was a handsome man looking mature and mature then left and then came a young man with a fresh appearance accompanying Raisa. Truly they consider Raisa a snake woman who is good at playing the heart of men.
After that, Vera came to greet once Raisa had approached, "Raisa, thank you for coming to my party."
Raisa smiles, she knows Vera's true face, usually Vera will trap Raisa with some questions just to knock Raisa out in front of her friends. So Raisa doesn't want to talk too much.
Their attention was distracted at Rio who was only silent beside Raisa. After being looked at up close, they realized that Rio was handsome. Rio's face also attracted the attention of the women, he seemed to be quiet and gentle. Rio's good looks like a teenager who looks bright.
"I thought you came with your husband. Even with another man. Still young again. Your taste is good too," said Seila Vera's friend.
"Do you know I'm married?" raisa asked and glanced at her, "Great well, you all know about me before I tell myself."
Vera did not want this situation to get any more awkward so she tried to melt the atmosphere. "That's it, don't discuss it. We were all friends at school. Aye, right?" Then Vera took Raisa's hand. "Come, we're in! The others too. It's not good to gossip outside."
Raisa still has not found her close friend, there are only Vera's circle friends. Raisa looked at the wonder. 'Did Vera set me up on purpose and she didn't actually invite my friends?' muttered Raisa while walking around the table and Rio was still faithfully accompanying Raisa vigilantly.
Raisa seems to not care how luxurious the order of buffet and party decorations Vera. He was just looking for a close friend from his school. The reason Raisa wanted to attend was to meet her close friend.
"Raisa. You can taste all the food here, hopefully you like it. Sorry, I have to welcome other guests who just arrived" said Vera.
"Yes, thank you."
"I'm going first, Dad. You already have a male friend who accompanies you," said Vera by emphasizing the word 'your friend' as if implied syndirian in it.
Raisa who understands Vera's character does not show any reaction. Raisa's eyes looked at Vera with carelessness. Vera always sucks.
"Mr Raisa, I'm sorry.my presence doesn't make you comfortable." Rio felt guilty.
"Don't think too much, Rio. He was so. I'm used to dealing with it. You take it easy," said Raisa casually.
"Raisa, don't you want to introduce your male friend?" Laura asked with a fiddle. She was attracted to Rio's charm and had not stopped looking at Rio since. Rio's performance doesn't look like an assistant.
'Geez so they're still here?' whispered Raisa when she saw the women still shrouding Rio, then Raisa sighed.
"Ask the same person, does he want to meet you?" Then Raisa glanced towards Rio. Vera's friends are rese', her eyes are always glaring when meeting a handsome new man.
"I'm sorry, I already have a lover."
"What's? A lover?" Laura's countenance changed, "Who do you mean your lover? Raisa's? Isn't he married?" Laura thought that Raisa was having an affair with Rio, because she saw Diki leaving after that Rio came to approach Raisa.
Raisa laughed, she felt silly with Laura's accusation. Let's not say that all of Vera's friends thought Raisa was like that. Because she was lazy to serve him, Raisa further strengthened their perception. "Yes..."
Hearing Raisa's statement, Laura was surprised then moved away while looking disgusted at Raisa.
"Mr Raisa, isn't that too much? What if there's a rumor spreading?" Rio looked towards the woman from earlier crowding then dispersed with a disappointed face.
Rio was silent and confirmed that, as he clearly knew that Diki had always protected Raisa behind Raisa. Even Diki went to solve the problem without Raisa's knowledge. Diki fears Raisa is entangled and dealing with the Black Jack's ruthless mafia because Tedi has been killed. All the problems related after Raisa managed to imprison Tedi's men, then Tedi tried to get rid of Raisa, unfortunately failed. But who would have thought then Tedi died suddenly.
Diki is worried about Raisa's safety, because it will be the target of Shadow Jack. Raisa's actions have offended Shadow Jack despite Tedi's death, Raisa is not involved. Diki is investigating the matter. Moreover, Diki suspects the emergence of Hendrik. The reason Diki couldn't accompany Raisa to the party was because she went to see Hendrik.
"Oh yes, but.. is it true that you already have a lover? Who's she?" Raisa who was originally indifferent became serious, she also wanted to know.
"Mr Raisa, you are the same as the women, apparently,"
Raisa laughed, "Don't be too serious, I'm just kidding. Uh but I want to know too..."
"I find it hard to have free time to date." Rio interrupted.
"really? Then later I advise my husband not to put too much pressure on you with work. Relax and enjoy your time, you're young." Raisa comforted Rio.
When Raisa was engrossed in talking to Rio, in the corner there was a man who kept looking at Raisa with a deep gaze. Then he woke up, when someone called him. "Revan...! Turns out you're here. My dad's looking for you, he said, he wants you to accompany a guest."
Revan turned to look at Vera. "Alright," Revan turned around but before stepping he asked Vera, "You know Raisa?"
"Shey?" Vera was astonished suddenly Revan asked Raisa, "Of course, she was my schoolmate first. What was? You know him too?" Vera laughed blankly, not expecting her master to also know Raisa. "Great is Raisa, many men know her."
"I used to be in business with him, nothing more." Revan's face was full of cunning.
"Yes, I get it. Playboy like you got a lot involved with a woman, but I just didn't expect Raisa to be one of them. Is he your ex too?" asked Vera enthusiastically.
Vera and Revan were betrothed by their parents for business and social status. They only have a mutually beneficial partner. So Vera never had any feelings for Revan and vice versa.
"Raisa, the woman who always makes me curious. I haven't been able to conquer it so I take it as a personal vendetta." Revan's humiliating memories of being defeated by Diki revolved around his brain. He can't forget that.
"Ah so so..." At once an idea flashed through Vera's mind, "What if I help you?"
Revan was stunned, "You mean?"
Vera smirked full of cunning in her eyes.
