The Secret With Bad Boy

Guests not invited

Inevitably, Kala and Bertha had to meet Yudhistira in the living room. The room that used to be filled with joy now feels so awkward especially for Kinanti. He should not have been in the midst of this family, but Bertha kept holding his hand and did not allow him to leave.

“He's a guest, just like you. So you don't have to go, Kinan.” That's Bertha's message when Kinanti wants to leave and wait in the back garden. Finally, Kinanti sat down with these three awkward people.

“I heard from Demian, your father passed away. I'm so sorry for.” Yudhistira began his conversation with an empathetic line to Kinanti.

“Thank you very much, Om.” Kinanti nodded politely and smiled slightly at Yudhistira. Unlike Kala who chose to turn his face when Yudhistira looked at him. Kala's legs also continued to move jerking as if showing his discomfort sitting opposite the father.

“What do I need to come here?” Bertha asked the point. He did not want to provoke his son to be unkind to his father in front of Kinanti.

“I want to check your condition. Can't it?” Yudhishthira with a low tone of voice, much different from Yudhishthira who had always been rude and demeaning.

“What's the goal? I think my condition and Kala are no longer important to Mas. She has a perfect and happy family. So no need to cheat us.” Bertha spoke firmly.

Hearing Bertha Yudhistira's sentence instead smiled, smiling crazily because Bertha's sentence seemed to be slapping him. “You are the one who mocked me, Bertha,” timpal Yudistira while smiling crazily.

“What do Mas mean?” Bertha did not understand this man's words.

It appears that Yudhishthira breathed a rough breath and glanced at Kinanti. Maybe hesitated to talk.

“He will stay here, because he is already a part of my life and Kala. So, I hope Mas says important things only, no need to discuss the stale past.” Bertha's sentence seems to confirm that Yudhistira has no right to tell Kinanti to leave.

Yudhistira nodded in understanding, it could be seen that Bertha always held onto Kinanti's hand tightly even if for some reason.

“I will part ways with Imelda.” That sentence sounded hanging. Bertha's hand was in procedure, shocked to hear the man's words.

“What does it have to do with me? We are not family or colleagues. We are only bound by Kala. And I think, Kala was no longer concerned with the condition of the Mas family, as I was.” Bertha still persisted with her feelings.

“Funny, mas said because of the incitement to do unfair with us. Want to know, if the sentence mas just fit said by unstable children?” Bertha's words sounded cynical.

“Mas is mature, also old. How can a stubborn and determined Yudhishthira be exposed to incitement? That's an absurd reason. Stop blaming the actions of others to justify your attitude and thoughts. It's not time for Mas to find a scapegoat.” Bertha's words sounded increasingly sharp slicing makes Yudhistira can only look down lethargic. He understood very well the words of Bertha that he deserved.

Kala smiled wryly at Bertha's words. He thought, Bertha would be easily crushed by Yudhishthira's remorse, but it turned out that the woman was very firm. Of course, the time of one year had forged Bertha's mental and thought. The woman has been awakened by reality.

“I do deserve to be blamed for everything that happened to our family and I accept that. I also agree to your decision not to sell the company. That's the right move.” Yudhistira was still trying to find a loophole to flatter Bertha.

Bertha only smiled faintly at Yudhisthira's words. “Mas don't have to flatter me like that. The reason I didn't sell the company, had nothing to do with Mas at all. My mind changed because of a man and his daughter who managed to open my eyes. They made me realize that I could not be selfish on something that would actually only harm me and harm the crowd.” Bertha fulfilled her sentence by looking at Kinanti. The woman also tightened her hand on Kinanti.

“They're a great father and son. They're the ones who keep my eyes open.” The head is filled with love and gratitude. Yes, it was Kinanti and Lukman who made Bertha's decision to change.

Yudhistira was silent, as if he had lost the gap to approach Bertha. The defensive fort that Bertha had put up was too high. The woman also determines her attitude.

“Thank God, if you are sure of your decision. What about you, Kal? Will you take that scholarship and study abroad?” yudhishthira asked his son.

Kala then turned his head, as well as Bertha and Kinanti. The two women had never heard of Kala's plan to study abroad, how could Yudhistira know?

“No need to take care of me. Even if I went to college abroad, it wasn't because of Papah. I have my own reasons that I do not need to announce as Papah likes to announce things that are not important. So from now on, do not threaten to send me abroad, I can choose my own place I want to go.” Kala chimed in coldly.

But from that sentence seems to emphasize that Kala will really go abroad. Did ya?
