# Main House #
Litha felt bored for two more weeks she was just in bed. I don't know how many drama series and films he watched, until the documentary on National Geographic he was also greedy. Not to mention all the books in her husband's workspace had been read out by him. Still the name today without the latest info updates, at least social media, seems to live in ancient times.
Litha glanced at the table clock on the nightstand, ten minutes away at ten but her dearest husband had yet to return home. Slowly he stood up and went out of the room without calling Vania or Aunt Lidya. The wound has been ?gradually healed, so there is no harm in Litha trying to be independent to take a snack in the kitchen. His stomach is getting bigger and closer to HPL must also be accustomed to a lot of motion for smooth delivery.
So soft, he opened the door without a sound, so he heard a debate between the high voice of Ray and the shrill voice of Vania. Litha walked closer to the source of the voice, listening to what was the topic of their debate. There was Abyan, Aunt Lidya and Mr. Is there too.
Suddenly Litha's face paled after her hearing caught a sentence that was like a sledgehammer hitting her chest.
"W-W-is that really what I just heard?" ask her with enlarged and wet pupils.
.
.
.
A while before Litha left the room.
"Sorry Bi, there's something I have to finish today, so I'm coming home late" Ray said, trailed by Abyan from behind as they met Lidya face to face.
"It's okay, sir."
"Is my wife asleep?" ray asked as he sat on the sofa and loosened his tie.
"Looks not yet. Brother Litha is preoccupied with watching movies about wild animals in the wild," replied Vania who suddenly appeared from the kitchen followed by Mr. Is from behind who carried a tray containing a teapot and several cups.
"What movie?"
"Documentary film about the life of lions in the savannah desert of Africa. He said the male lion in the movie reminded him of someone going berserk. And thanks to her rampage it managed to make Brother Litha pregnant."
Pppffhttt ...
The sound of stifled laughter echoed within the room along with the shakes of the shoulders of those who lowered their heads.
"Include Young Master how is it? Hihihui ... Abyan must learn the same Young Master. Uh... learn what if the female doesn't exist. Haishn ... Has he been able to let go of the doctor?" bathin Lidya glanced at Abyan sharply, telling him to stop laughing.
Ray's face flushed red, "Truly this kid! His mouth has no limit at all."
"Don't be mad at me, Sister-in-law. I just continued what Brother Litha said this afternoon, where to say it while smiling to myself again. Ckckckck .." said Nia cuek as she poured the tea into the cups on the tray.
Ray's eyes widened, patting his eel, "Gosh!"
Meanwhile, Abyan slightly stayed away from receiving a phone call that seemed serious.
"Nia, when did you get back to your school?"
"I came back during the graduation ceremony, sister," replied Vania while thrusting a cup of tea at her Sister-in-law.
Although impressed cute and tomboyish, actually Vania figure is attentive and very detailed. That's what makes Ray very fond of Vania like his own sister although sometimes he has to hold back emotions with his 'noisy.
"You're not in school?" Ray sipped his tea.
Vania was still pouring tea into another cup for Lidya, Abyan and Pak Is. They are busy chatting, forgetting that there is a mistress left alone in the room.
"I've already finished my final exam, my grade must be good and passed. Besides, I told the homeroom teacher that I was asked by the President of Pradipta Corp. to accompany his wife in recovery. Of course I'm allowed, who would dare to refuse the Young Master's word."
Uhuk.
"You!"
Ray really did not run out of thought, his brother-in-law dared to paint his name as an excuse. He stared intently at Vania, instead of being afraid, the beautiful girl smiled and blinked her eyes, eyes that always made him unable to say no, eyes that were the same as his favorite woman.
"Well! It's up to you." Ray gave up, he sipped again his tea, "Pak Is, the tea is good."
"Miss Vania who poked her tea leaves, sir."
"Miss Vania is indeed good at concocting tea leaves from various tea products with the right dose. Her tea makes me addicted, lucky Miss Vania does not mind making it if this old woman wants to drink her tea," said Lidya while inhaling the aroma.
"Acityhhh ... Auntie don't praise me too much. My head is immediately enlarged. Didn't Aunt see it?"
Lidya and Mr. Is chuckled at the babbling of the girl who had just grown up. His longing for the mother sometimes makes Vania not hesitate to indulge in Lidya.
"Ray ..." call Abyan tense.
"Yes" he replied without looking at Abyan.
"News from Iptu Andika that Ramona just died."
Ray immediately put down his cup and stood up, "When?"
"Around 9 o'clock. His remains are being examined by police before being buried tomorrow morning."
Ray looks riled up and Vania watches her sister-in-law with a dislike look. "It's good that he died. Is Brother-in-law sad to hear the news?"
"It! Facing slightly! It's sad news." Ray started raising his voice.
"Huh. Sad news for his family and relatives, but not for me. That's good news, though" Vania replied to her sister-in-law's reprimand.
Abyan, Lidya and Pak Is looked at each other.
"Look at you, Nia!"
"Why should I keep talking to the man who wants to kill my brother and my niece? Don't dictate my feelings!" reply Nia was no less fierce with a voice that was also elevated.
"Yan, Mother has never seen the Madam speak in such a high tone to Young Master, but Miss-" whispered Lidya to Abyan.
"The character of the Wasp is the same as Ray, easily the most beautiful emotion. So actually they both like against themselves. No one wants to give up."
"The Wasp?"
"Note to Miss Vania who is not afraid of 'noisy' in Ray's ears," Abyan replied moving both her middle and index fingers.
Lidya shook her head and sighed.
"I don't know him, unlike Brother-in-law who incidentally is his former lover. I know him only as the younger brother of the victim who almost took his life. Not one life but two! Because of his obsession with Sister-in-law, Pak Sas had to sacrifice his life for Brother Litha. Not too much right, if I expect him to get the punishment? Even he died I don't mind, even good again, because if he lives who guarantees he won't harm Litha again."
Vania knocks Ray down so he can't get back at her. What the girl said had a point and what she felt was understandable. Ray could only firmly clench his hands, his jaw already hardened revealing his neck veins, how could he be humiliated by the child yesterday afternoon in front of others.
"Miss ... secure your voice. The lady can hear it." Abyan tried to defuse the situation.
"When do you want to hide the facts from Brother Litha? Waiting for him to know by himself? What Brother-in-law thought Brother Litha would be fine if a year, two years or ten new years were told. We only delay the pain, not reduce it, and it is not impossible that it will add to the pain," Vania cerocos no matter, her voice is still loud.
Ray massaged his forehead, This wasp is really noisy deafening his ears.
"Nia, I just don't want Litha to be sad if she finds out Mr. Sas is dead. I'm afraid his sadness will affect the baby in his stomach" Ray said.
"Sister Litha is not as petty as it dissolves himself in grief that will affect his son, although Mr. Sas means a lot to him" replied Vania.
The five of them were unaware that there was a pair of ears standing up and overheard their conversation. Holding her stomach, "Be-is that really what I just heard?"
Litha's eyes were bought and wet, trying to deny everything she had just heard.
All turned to Litha, misbehaving and stammering to speak, especially her husband, only her gaze begged her not to misunderstand.
"Ja-so Mr Sas is dead? When?" asked Litha crying.
"Sa-honey, I-I"
Litha turned around to walk towards the room quickly, perhaps if her condition was not pregnant, she would run.
"City ... Aaarrrgghhh .. how is this? Because of your loud voice so Litha knows now!" ray's angry at his sister-in-law.
"Until however long Brother-in-law delays the fact, Kak Litha's reaction will remain the same" Vania said as she followed her brother to the room.
"But, if Sister-in-law accuses me of the cause, I will be responsible so that Brother Litha will not be angry with you" he continued by turning his head to Ray.
"Sad. So confident of you!" sulk Ray.
Lidya shook her head, "Miss Vania cannot be taken lightly. Young Master alone was overwhelmed by it ... Now the madam must be very sad. I'm going to Madam's room."
Lidya soon follows Vania's steps into Litha's comforting room. But Ray's footsteps were longer and faster ahead of him.
.
.
.
The heart of pregnant women is sick like sliced to find the real facts. He sat crying on the edge of the bed lamenting the protective figure after his father.
Chequek.
"Sister, can I come in?"
Litha was silent, still as unwilling.
"Silence means being able to enter and the first answer that applies" he said.
"Sorry, Brother. We have not dared to tell you" said Vania again with a position sitting next to her brother.
Suddenly Ray opens the room door without knocking, "Honey, ma-"
"Lith, don't do this. You know I can't go to bed with you."
Litha did not bother him, her tears would not stop.
Live happily with your husband, son. Whatever the test in your household, rest assured there is no problem as big as your love.
His heart ached, especially considering his last conversation with Mr. Sas. His groaning grew louder by tightening the hand on his stomach that contained the creature that the middle-aged man had always protected.
"It ... Sister-in-law just come out first." Vania raised her voice by coding with her eyes.
"Eh .. How dare you l--"
"Come on Ray, give the lady some time. Mr. Sas is the closest person to Madam besides you. It must not be easy to accept that Mr. Sas is no longer there," said Abyan squeezed Ray's shoulder.
Lidya nodded with a smile.Ray left the room with a murmur, his heart rumbled. He could not sleep without hugging his wife.
.
.
.
"Rigger ... Forgive us."
"You guys are so happy ..."
"Sister-in-law has his reasons. He did not want to make Kak Litha sad with this kind of condition. Sister-in-law is afraid of anything happening with her wife and child. Understand his position as husband, brother."
Lidya observes Vania. Often he is amazed by the actions of teenagers he values in the way he looks at something for a girl his age. His words also often lock the mouth of the interlocutor.
"When Brother Litha has not been declared to have passed the critical period. Sister-in-law looks lifeless. His hair was messy, his face was tangled, his appearance was shabby, his gaze was blank, he was spoken to not connect, only Litha, Litha, Litha, was always alone in his mind. Not sleeping, not drinking nor eating, his breath stinks when talking-"
"It! Don't be so impudent as to talk about your Sister-in-law."
Nia held back her piety, "Sister Ipar is like a madman waiting for Brother Litha to go through a critical period. He was just about to change his clothes and clean up after Litha was transferred to the hospital room."
Litha's cheeks met red, her heart blossomed, but she could not accept that her husband was hiding the truth.
"Why did you just say it now that Mas Rayyendra was your problem?"
"He forbade me to tell Brother how he was at that time. Brother-in-law, you want to always look perfect in the eyes of the woman he loves so much. Afraid Big Brother turned to seek perfection in another man. Even that night I heard the sound of his fart, like Brother-in-law in the wind. It turns out that the sound and smell of a Young Master's fart is the same as ours."
"Geez, Nia .." exclaimed Litha in disbelief, her sister revealing disgrace to a Young Master.
Lidya held back a smile, afraid that her Young Madam was suspicious that her sister said it was just a hyperbole sentence to comfort her.
"Don't tell him what I said just now, brother. Later my allowance will be reduced ... Uh yes, sister .. there is one more secret. This was just discovered by Brother-in-law. But promise after I tell you, don't be mad at Sister-in-law anymore."
"When have you been his supporter?" litha asked suspiciously.
"Mahaha ... I'll be supporting Sister-in-law as long as she loves Litha, but if she hurts you, I'll be her biggest enemy."
Litha looked at her little sister, her heart warming up after the grief had covered her.
"Say, what secret?"
"Pak Sas is Assistant Yan's uncle and Aunt Lidya's older brother."
"WHAT!?!"
"This kid is really-Good-Good-Can-can-can he gave a surprise after the shocking news earlier," Lidya's bath was shocked.
"Really, Bi?"
Inevitably Lidya gave a slow nod.
"How is this? ... Because of protecting me, I made Assistant Yan and Aunt lose-"
Litha's tears flowed back, his guilt grew after learning of Pak Sas's family relationship with Abyan and Lidya.
Lidya emboldened herself to embrace Litha. "Don't feel the slightest bit guilty, ma'am. That was his destiny line. We accepted it sincerely, just that if the Lady was guilty like this would make us condone her departure,"
Lidya gently rubbed Litha's back which shook from crying back.
"Be healthy and happy with Young Master and Little Young Master, Madam. Mr. Sas will be happy there too," said Lidya unraveled his embrace.
"Sorry Aunt .." said Litha.
"Watch a replacement Aunt Mr. Sas yes if the Madam needs something. Don't be shy."
"Aunt ..."
Litha hugged Lidya for quite a while, spilling all the sadness in her heart. Losing a figure like an old man when going to give birth is certainly not easy.
"I'll call Brother-in-law, Brother Litha is not angry, right?"
.
.
.
"Darling .. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hide it. I'm just afraid that you're too sad while your maternity day is getting closer."
Ray knelt before his wife. His highest anxiety was his wife's grief.
Litha shook her head slowly, "Mas should have told me. As bitter as any honesty is better than lies."
"Sister-in-law doesn't lie, just delays telling. Brother-in-law never said that Mr. Sas didn't die, did he?" ceplos Vania cuek's.
Everything was astonished and justifying what Vania said, Ray was happy to get a defense from his sister-in-law.
"How's Ramona doing? I heard that he was new-"
Vania immediately cut Litha's sentence, "She's gone to the afterlife."
Plaque.
Lidya hits Vania's butt, anxious with her flippant nature. The talk that came out of his mouth was never thought of and filtered first.
"Bless to the good, Nia," said Litha, "When Mas?" ask him about Ray.
"Just now" replied Ray.
"Good words are only for good people" Vania said.
All again stupefied.
"Do not hold hatred in your heart. Even if it hurts, letting go of hate is a relief." Abyan tried to advise.
Vania snorted bitterly, as she passed out of the room she quipped, "Yes, I'll try. Because letting go of hate is easier than loving someone."
Abyan's face was flushed red, Vania casually returned her words with a punch.
Pppffttt ...
Lidya held back her laughter, for some reason she really liked this girl.
"That's smart of you to play the word," sissed Abyan.
Vania stopped her steps at the doorway, she turned around, "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have been elected the Chairman of OSIS at the school. Don't feel insinuated Assistant Yan ... What I meant earlier, was the crazy woman who almost killed my brother and nephew for a love she couldn't let go of. If Assistant Yan feels yaaaa ... Why not just let go? Don't get crazy like him. Cc, ... I feel sorry for Aunt, her only son turned out to be thinking only of his own feelings."
"It! Polite bit! Respect the older people. Watch your mouth!"
Litha was angry and warned her biological sister to keep her speech. He was very unkind to Yan's assistant and Aunt Lidya.
"It's okay, Madam ... What Miss said is true. Abyan was stubborn if he was told, ", said Lidya.
"Heh. Who told to dictate what other people felt, if themselves also do not want to be dictated his feelings," the lyrics were sharp to the shady-eyed man,
Glug.
Abyan this time really understood the meaning of the word 'noisy' which is often pinned Ray on the Wasp. Even if he felt disturbed, he would not hesitate to sting.
"Tonight Brother-in-law did not go to bed with Brother Litha. I'm responsible for what I did, right? Least ... Brother-in-law can now calm down a little."
Vania spoke to Ray by coding her eyes, then walked out of the room. Ray's eyebrows are sharp, he knows the style of his sister-in-law's speech. There was something he wanted to aim for but still wanted to hide from the others. But what is it?
"Mas, tomorrow morning I want to go to Mr. Sas's grave after giving condolences to Ramona's family" Litha said after Vania disappeared from their sight.
"But-"
"Nothing but. He has done me wrong. I'll forgive this time, but not next time. I don't like Mas hiding something from me if it's about me. I'm indeed your wife who I'm guarding and protecting, but I also have a right to know." Litha confirmed his edict and position.
Silent. Ray did not dare to voice back his wife's current sentence. He was silent, sign agreed.
"Ckkluck ... Where did the Big Madam find these sisters? Can silence the mouth of Young Master and Abyan whose words have never been denied by anyone. Hahahaha .. die of fleas now, right you two!" lidya cheered in her heart while saying goodbye and pulling her son's hand out of her master's room.
