The vibrant back garden is decorated welcoming the birth of Baby Zean. As a very happy new father, Rayyendra wants to share his happiness with his relatives and colleagues, he wants to show how similar his son is to him.
For the first time in history since the death of Mrs Rianti, Ray's mother, the main residence of the Pradipta Family held a large party or event by inviting many people.
Dominated by a combination of light blue bone white, the garden is transformed into a beautiful garden party location. Three grand super big tents were erected and equipped with a children's play area and children corner so that the children brought and the invitees can also feel the happiness of the owner of the event. Do not ask about the menu, Litha, the Lady of the House really likes food, so it is certain that the food and drinks available are very tempting. Today is a paradise for children.
Oskarita and Ana were already in the main house. Despite his scheduled arrival at 7, the brothers arrived at 6 a.m., impatient to see Baby Zean. But they had to bite a finger because Ray was so protective, he didn't allow anyone to see his baby before the show at the title.
The fatherly aura around the figure of the President of Pradipta Corp., Baby Zean is always in his arms when greeting invited guests, Litha will only get a chance if Baby Zean wants to suckle. Pride, joy and happiness mix together when all the praise is on the baby. Ah, it turns out that getting married and being a husband and father is very fun, he used to think getting married only makes his life tied to commitment, in fact if in marriage there is an element of being loved and loved, he said, that's what's called 'house'.
Congratulations and prayers from all those present were heard non-stop, including some religious leaders who were invited to pray for Zeandra.
"Look! My baby looks a lot like me, doesn't it? His good looks have been seen since birth, it is because his father was also handsome from birth. Her hair was also very dense and her skin was as reddish white as I used to be."
The sentence was repeated over and over again she said it every time someone greeted her, until Litha memorized the semicolon of her husband's sentence.
"What is Senarsis' sister?" nia whispered in Litha's ear.
"My husband is narcissistic, but it's been growing ever since Zean was born. Huufftt ..."
Bona pats his best friend's shoulder, "Well you're Dad too, Ray. I'm happy, hope your grumpy nature doesn't go down to him" said Bona, looking at the tiny baby who began to open his eyes.
"Aiihh, Baby Zean is awake. But I'm a little scared of her eyes, Tha. Why doesn't he have his mother's eyes" murmured Ninda who made Litha laugh.
"Still a baby, she can already intimidate, hiii ..." Bona shuddered in response to the muttering of her lover.
Ray was sultry to hear it, "Why does everyone expect my son's nature to be the same as his mother's? Does no one want him like me who is handsome, strong, authoritative and feared."
Not long after, all attention was paid to the two box cars that had just entered the main house yard, directly parked in front of one of the tents.
"Master, ma'am, these are all gifts from London. Mr. Firza wants to make a video call after all the gifts have been received" Mr. Is explained.
"What?!?" Litha was amazed by the many gifts sent directly from the European continent to her son and it was definitely bought at a price that was not cheap.
"Ck. Why come at a time like this. He was on purpose, "Ray muttered, "Zean, your uncle made good on his promise, a great gift from London to you." he spoke to the baby in his cradle.
"Put everything under that tent over there" he ordered Mr. Is.
"Good, Sir."
Various neatly wrapped gifts of different sizes. Litha and Vania were busy second-guessing the contents. After everything is done, Ray makes a video call.
"Hi, Za. How are you?" greet Ray first.
"Surge! I'm tired of seeing your face. I want to see my niece."
"Dial-aauuwww ... Lith's sick, why do you like pinching in the stomach anyway?" sulkan Ray is upset.
"I told you not to curse in front of Zean. I don't want my son to be a bully, just his father" Litha Ketus said.
"I-yes," Ray replied stammered, "Your mother is now getting fierce," he whispered in his son's ear.
Litha's eyes squinted as thin and as sharp as a dagger at her husband, though whispering she could hear him well.
"But I love your mother even more."
Ray rectified his words with a forced smile, this time his voice did not whisper. Anyone who sees it will surely judge that it turns out the most respected President among business people in this exotic country including the husband-husband fearing wife.
Firza looked up at the remote live on her phone. His heart warms as the cold London air ambushes him in the transitional season, from autumn to winter. Not satisfied to see Baby Zean from the phone screen, so he was reluctant to close the video connection.
"If you still miss me, Uncle Firza quickly went home. Don't be there too long, you'll be a snow puppet" Litha said as the baby spoke.
"Later, if Uncle has got a replacement for your mother," Firza replied, he deliberately told her to burn Ray.
"You-"
Again Litha pinched her husband's checkered stomach, telling her to be silent, "Then search quickly. Replacement clothes don't have to be exactly the same, do they? What matters is the same function."
"What do you think you're wearing?" Ray subconsciously began to invite his wife to argue.
"The name of the husband and wife is, indeed likened to clothes for his partner."
"You want to be considered an item?"
"Well, that's just a parable, often used to describe the matter of covering up the shortcomings and disgrace of a partner."
When Ray wants to retaliate, Zean cries, looking for something that is only in his mother. Litha immediately took the baby from her husband's arms.
"He's thirsty, Mas," said Litha softly.
Ray nodded as he whispered in his wife's ear, "I'm thirsty too."
"Aaauuwww ..."
"Sister Firza, sorry ... Zean was crying, he seemed to be thirsty. I'll suckle him first" said Litha.
"Yes Lith, feed Zean in peace. I'll hold back his thirsty father so as not to disturb."
"You-" furious Ray restrained, "Hopefully there are women or descendants of the Ragnaya tribe there. Let you know what it's like to be cursed."
"You-why? ... Oh my God, Ray ... You look so funny holding back emotions. Is it for Zean you are? Or is it because you're afraid of your wife? Huhuahaha ..."
Without further ado, Ray immediately disconnected the video. He's really pissed. Litha chuckled at the distant face of her husband who was very upset after closing the video call of her adoptive sister.
On the other hand, Vania is fun to photograph every moment in this event. Suddenly the look in his eyes caught the figure of the girl with glasses and dimpled cheeks that approached Abyan. He did not know who the girl was, but from the characteristics that his brother had mentioned, he was sure it was dr. Viviane.
"Good day Doctor, how are you?" sapa Abyan gave a glass of Mocktail to the girl he was talking to.
Vivian smiled happily greeted first by a man she regretted, regretted for his presence late after he received a proposal from a colleague.
"Good."
"In the near future the doctor will be questioned as a witness in court. Hope everything goes well."
"Yes. May my testimony incriminate the punishment of that depraved man."
Abyan nodded, Sipping the drink in his glass until half was left, "Doctor came alone?"
"Yes. Who do you think I'm coming with?"
"Your engagement."
Glug.
Vivian did not drink the drink, but she tilted the glass and the contents of the glass touched her lips.
" ... "
The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
"I-I thought the invitation was just for the concerned. I-I didn't know I could bring a friend."
Abyan chuckled, "Friends? Haha ... You're so mean Doctor, you should have invited your fiancee instead of your friend."
" ... "
"I like you, Doctor."
"Huh!?! What???"
Abyan smiled hiding his nervousness. He put his drink glass into the tray of the waiter passing by, "I'm sorry, if my statement just surprised you. Don't be burdened, Doctor ... I knew the Doctor was getting married and I knew the Doctor wasn't a woman I could have had despite fighting for her. I just want to try to let go of you by confessing my feelings in front of the person, so that there will be no regrets."
Vivian's face paled, her chest rumbling violently wanting to burst out the cries she held. Whether it was crying, crying happily because it turns out that the person he secretly likes also has the same feeling but also a roaring cry of sadness because he was like crashing into the deepest abyss on earth.
Without speaking, the sweet doctor ran away from Abyan, not wanting to drop a tear in front of someone who had already revealed his heart.
"Doctor!" exclaiming Abyan but not digubris Vivian.
A pair of ears heard their conversation while drinking Moctail flavored strawberry, his favorite fruit.
"You eavesdropping, huh?" admonish Abyan who almost made the drink in his glass spilled.
"Mmc ... Eavesdropping? Eavesdropping what? I don't know what you mean?"
Vania wanted to leave immediately, but her arms were held back, "You can see I'm not the loser you call me, right, Miss?"
" ..."
Vania recalled the incident shortly before hitting the aviary. But it is not Vania whose name cannot be evaded for various reasons.
"Oh yeah? Expressing feelings should be a seriousness of heart, not because it does not accept to be called a loser ... It even proves that he is a real loser" Vania said, raising a corner of her lips and looking at Abyan with the tail of her eyes, a look of demeaning.
"It is better that Mr. Assistant learn to Young Master how to convey the contents of the heart," he continued and immediately passed from where he stood.
"You-" the shady-eyed man choked his emotions with both hands clenched. The same emotions as just before Vania hit the aviary, the difference this time Vania took over the situation.
"S*hit! This little wasp is so noisy! I should've shut him up with-"
Abyan's eyes rounded hearing his own sentence swearing at his sister-in-law's sister-in-law.
"Aaarrrrrggghhh .." cried Abyan annoyed.
"What's wrong, Yan?" Ray touched his shoulder from behind.
"Ray, why is your sister-in-law so noisy?!? Can't he just stay quiet other than when he fainted?"
Ray knitted his brows, since when did the Abyan he knew the most patient man could lose control of his emotions when dealing with his sister-in-law.
"Yin ..."
"Ah, stop! He always tested my patience! Too bad for the man who became his soul mate later," fierce as it passed leaving Ray who was increasingly confused.
...***...
For two weeks Ray was reluctant to go to the office, he did all his work and various meetings virtually. Baby Zean really caught his attention, he could not be far from his favorite child. Even at night, he was willing to resist drowsiness to accompany Litha breastfeeding. Until now Litha did not want to use the services of a baby sitter, because she felt she had a lot of time to take care of her baby. He wants to build a deeper bond with his son, assisted by Lidya and sometimes Vania is more than enough for him in caring for Baby Zean.
The aroma of the main room has also changed from the natural fragrance of fresh flowers that are usually placed Litha in the corners of the room into the aroma of telon oil. So funny Ray to Baby Zean, everywhere he bagged the smallest packaging of telon oil.
"Why did she drink her milk for so long?" said Ray rubbed the cheek of his son who was breastfeeding, his tiny hand held firmly the source of his drink.
Ray swallowed saliva many times, now his territory in his wife's body has been taken by a small and selfish creature. As if not willing to share, Baby Zean will cry loudly if pu*ting payu*dara mother detached from her small mouth, even though she fell asleep.
"Egoisnya the same as you, Mas," said Litha smiling staring at the motion of her baby's mouth while drinking ASI. Ray could only sigh, resigned.
The sound of the bedroom door was knocked, after Ray installed an apron to cover his nursing son he invited the knocker to the entrance.
"Sorry, Mr and Mrs. Did I interrupt Mr and Mrs' time."
Ray understands that there is something that Mr. Is wants to say.
"Please sit down, Mr. Is. What's up?"
" ... "
"It must be important, because Mr. Is is so nervous to say it."
Mr. Is smiled, Ray walked over to close the door that had not closed perfectly, "I'm just making sure there is no gap in this door."
Then Ray sat on the sofa opposite Mr. Is, while Litha was still in bed leaning on the nursing headboard of Baby Zean. The young mother could feel that the baby was asleep. There was a faintly warm breath of regular air around his aerola and there was no suction motion on his palu*daranya. But Litha did not immediately put it in the baby box, because Baby Zean would definitely wake up soon.
Feeling burdened since his bloodless brother first went home. Mr. Is very heartily conveyed what was Sasmita's last wish, apologizing for his actions one night. Mr. Is recounted it with sobbing.
"Ka--mi begs for forgiveness and forgiveness, sir, especially to Madam. I am ready to bear his sentence and I am also willing to bear the punishment that will be given to Sasmita" he said bowed.
Ray and Litha were both stunned in their respective places. Their hearts pounded, especially Litha, so far she accused her husband of disrespecting her at that time and took advantage of the economic situation that was in need of money. The incident that night damaged Rayyendra Putra Pradipta's image in his eyes which he had previously rated positive.
Ray stared straight at the middle-aged figure in front of him. He did not expect them to be so loyal as to carry out his grandmother's orders before dying in a 'crazy' way'.
"Personally, Mr. Is and Mr. Sas' late I'm sorry. Although disappointed, but I cannot deny, that by your actions have given me happiness that I never felt. If you don't do it, this house will continue to be bleak and my dearly beloved son won't be around either."
Mr. Is still bowing his head deeply. He did not dare to look at his master's face.
"But I can't say sorry for my wife. I leave it to him, whether he can accept all this or not. If he does not want to see you again, regretfully Mr. Is must immediately get out of this house," said Ray again turned to Litha on the bed.
The girl, nicknamed Miss Responsibility by the President of Pradipta Corp., stood up and carefully placed Baby Zean into the baby box to avoid waking up. Tidied up her clothes first in a turned position before she approached her husband. Litha smiled wryly, it felt like she was being played a little bit by fate, but she also could not deny that it was just a path to her happiness.
"Sir Is, after that night - I felt my life ruined and humiliated, because my body was equated with some money. What's the difference between me and pela*cur who also sells his body, both ends of money, right? I also couldn't maintain my pride because frankly I needed it most ... It's just that I'm more fortunate to have the status of a wife to cover the disgrace of the night."
Mr. Is's sobbing voice sounded even more heartbreaking, as if he could understand what Litha had just said.
"Especially after I got out of the house and found out I was pregnant. It was the hardest time for me, fortunately I've had the pain of a lifetime, so I'll never do it again, hehehe ..."
Litha's naughtiness did not sound at all pleasant but a very painful expression. Ray feels guilty, should he search and ask his wife back home because they have not officially divorced. He is too proud to do so, making Litha like an outcast who survives alone.
"Bless your face, Mr. Is. Don't keep bowing. How ethical would it be if we spoke, shouldn't we make eye contact?"
Mr. Is shook his head strongly, he really did not dare to look Litha in the eyes.
"Sir, this is an order. Lift up your face, look at me!"
With great fear, Mr. Is raised his face to see the face of Madam Pradipta who smiled at him.
"Right my husband said, without the incident that night, Zean would not exist in this world and we would also get divorced after the contract expired."
Litha sighed, "Maybe it's already God's scenario to present Zeandra .. and I don't regret it, Mr. Is, it is, because I believe the events of that night were only a way to get a healthy son and handsome father, get the love of a husband who is unlimited and of course life that never lacks. I'd be greedy if I still wanted punishment for Mr. Is and Mr. Sas.
Passing the time with guilt from that night until today is already quite worth it ... I forgive everything, Mr. Is ... Stayhere. Don't go anywhere, be healthy and accompany my son to grow up like Mr. Is did to his father. Hopefully Mr. Sas can rest in peace, I forgive him sincerely. I love you both like my own father and Zean would love to have a grandfather like you and Mr. Sas."
Unbearably, the middle-aged man named Isaac kowtowed at Madam Pradipta's feet in tears. Spontaneous Litha dodged and pulled herself towards her husband, "Don't this Mr. Is! I don't want the slack. Awake up!"
"Sit back on the couch, sir," Ray said to see Mr. Is flinching.
"I'm truly grateful for the generosity of the Madam and Mr."
Ray smiled, inwardly even he who thanked them, of course the story would be different if he did not spend the whisky that night. Ah, why would he want to try it again, forcing his wife to serve her passion after taking war medicine*sang.
"Wait for you to finish your puerperium, honey. I'll have Mr. Is do it again, hehehehe ..."
