The Shackles of Love The Single Heir

Chapters 11.

Upon arrival in the garden, everyone began to get busy with their respective work. Miko was weeding the grass with Nek Ida. While Dion, he was busy installing mulch plastic on the soil hut to be planted with seedlings.

Unlike Maura, he was actually running around chasing butterflies that fly freely in the wild.

Although he had only visited her grandmother a few times before, the atmosphere here felt so peaceful in his heart. He did not want to pass this wonderful momentum before he returned to Jakarta.

"Miko, come here, help me catch these butterflies!" maura shouted for help.

Maura's voice sounded very loud, making everyone turn towards her at the same time. No exception with Dion who is currently still focused on completing his work.

"I'm busy, just ask Dion's sister for help!" sahut Miko, he certainly has other plans behind this.

Hearing that, the look on Maura's face changed in an instant. He was eager to catch the butterfly, but he might ask a man he didn't know at all.

"Dion, go. Help that stupid girl!" pinta Nek Ida's.

Dion widened his eyes, unexpectedly Nek Ida would tell him to help the girl. But how, that girl alone was very afraid of dealing with him.

"But Grandma...,"

"It's okay, go!" added Nek Ida.

Given his immense respect for Nek Ida, Dion finally agreed to the grandmother's request. His feet began to step toward Maura who was standing quite far from where he worked.

"What are you doing here?" maura asked nervously, her legs started to shake.

Again, Dion was wrong. Intentions wanted to help, just the sour face he got from Maura.

"I came here solely because of Nek Ida's request. Don't be afraid, I won't eat you!" dion answered coldly.

Not wanting to make Maura even more afraid to see him, Dion just went looking for the butterfly that Maura wanted.

It took him a long time and enough extra energy for him to get what Maura wanted.

Now the sweat and sweat pours down Dion's forehead and body. He got up many times just to realize Maura's wish.

Even the clothes he was wearing were already soaked in sweat, it made Dion uncomfortable. He took off his shirt to reveal his field chest and box belly.

"Hey, what are you doing? Put your clothes back on, don't be rude!" maura snapped who was starting to get scared, then closed her eyes.

"What do you think I want to do, huh?" dion replied with a slanted smile.

"Don't fuck around here or I'll scream!" added Maura who is now starting to open her eyes again.

"Just calm! I'm not interested in a tepos girl like you. Empty, what's so good?" tease Dion as he passes away.

That only made Maura grunt.

"I'm not interested in you either." Maura's inner grumbled.

Dion continued his delayed struggle. Until in the end, he managed to catch a yellow butterfly with black, red, white patches, which are very beautiful.

Dion then put the butterfly into a clear empty bottle. Not to forget also he made an air hole so that the butterfly can last longer.

"Here, take!" dion said as he extended the bottle into Maura's hand.

Maura, who had been pouting, now carved a slight smile on her face.

"This is for me?" maura asked in disbelief.

"No, that's for Grandma Ida!" god Dion's.

Hearing that, Maura bent her face lethargic. The smile that had been etched beautifully on her face instantly faded unceremoniously.

"Stupid girl! Of course it's for you, who else?" said Dion.

"Thank you" said Maura.

"No need to thank! Seeing the smile on your face alone is more than enough." replied Dion, then passed away leaving Maura for granted.

"What does that mean?" inner Maura was confused.

Dion resumed his work that was halfway through, hunger and fatigue were no longer felt after seeing the smile on Maura's face just now.

***************

The afternoon, the four of them returned to Nek Ida's house after a day of work draining energy.

"Sir, Dion came home first." said Dion farewell.

Dion's face looked so tired, his eyes looking so soft. He wanted to lay down his body in Nek Ida's house. But that's not possible considering that Nek Ida's granddaughter is in the house.

"Why rush? Just rest here! Grandma will have Bik An make drinks for all of you" said Nek Ida holding Dion.

"No need, next time! Dion must immediately pack, tomorrow morning Dion must return to Jakarta." said Dion reject Nek Ida's offer.

Hearing that, everyone fell silent. Including Maura who was currently able to accept Dion in their midst.

"Oh yeah Grandma, Miko almost forgot to tell Grandma. Looks like Miko can't help Grandma here, Miko wants to come with Kak Dion to Jakarta. Grandma doesn't mind, does she?" miko conveyed her wishes.

Instantly the look on Nek Ida's face turned lethargic, there was clear glass inundated on her eyelids. Just now he felt happiness surrounded by his grandchildren, now that happiness must disappear in the blink of an eye.

"Grandma don't be sad! If we are not busy, we will often visit here to see Grandma. If necessary, Dion will stay here like before!" dion comforted Nek Ida.

"Is that true?" ask Nek Ida to make sure.

"Yes, Dion promised!" sahut Dion convinces Nek Ida.

***************

In the evening, Miko and Maura arrive at Dion's house to bring Nek Ida's meal. That made Dion very happy.

Amidst the cold night breeze, the three of them sat on the veranda of the house after devouring the food abis from Nek Ida.

"Cring, cring,"

The atmosphere tonight became silent as Maura's phone rang inside her pants pocket.

Maura moves away from Dion and Miko, she pulls out her phone and picks it up after learning the call from her beloved father.

"Hello Well," said Maura shortly after the call was connected.

"Hello baby, how are you there?" ask Doni from behind the phone.

"Maura's fine Well, what about Dad?" sahut Maura asked his father.

"Daddy is good too. When are you planning to go home?" ask Doni to find out.

"You don't know, Maura's still here. Why is it Dad?" sahut Maura's.

"Lusa, you must be in Jakarta. Mr. Darma wants to speed up your engagement with David. You understand what I mean." said Doni.

"Why so fast? Maura has never even seen the man." said Maura.

"Dad has arranged everything for you, so you don't have to worry. Just prepare yourself for it, I just want the best for you" said Doni.

Maura was sitting lethargic with a cell phone still connected in her grasp. The unilateral decision from Doni, made him really disappointed to no longer be able to speak.
