The Will of Young Master

Last Chance

*** Firza ***

What a shady-eyed man felt mired fall into the crust of the earth hearing what his Grandmother said.

Married ... Ray and Litha ....

Whyyy???

What does this mean???

All sorts of prejudices raged in his head. Amazingly, he was able to control himself, no matter how wrapped his soul was, his appearance was still very calm, as when he was awakening Litha between reverie and a cry that did not stop with a gentle touch on Litha's shoulder.

"Rest. Recover your surprise first you open a letter from Grandma," said Firza offering a letter.

Litha nodded slowly. Firza's heart aches to see Litha's beautiful eyes have to make a river.

"Thank you Mr. Prasojo for his help" Firza shook the hand of the Pradipta family lawyer after Litha left the room.

"Sama-sama Sir. Hmmmmpfhhh.. I am actually very heavy to read the Great Lady's will, but this is the mandate I have to do."

"We understand him, sir. But may I ask, does Mr. Prasojo know the reason Grandma wrote such a will?"

Mr. Prasojo shook his head slowly and said,

"I don't know for sure. Suddenly the Great Mistress came to the office and wrote it before me, Sir. Madam just said to me, actually she did not until the heart wrote this will even Madam had cried, see, this slightly faded ink is caused by the tears Madam fell while writing it. Don't know what the Madam was thinking but it must be a very hard thing for her."

True, some of her ink words faded into the water, Firza was stunned for a moment, trying to be Grandma in the position at that time to understand the purpose she wrote this strange will.

"Well, Mr. Prasojo, we understand."

After Firza escorted Mr. Prasojo out of the room, he headed for his room on the second floor. All neat and clean even though he is no longer inhabited since he worked at Pradipta Group.

There is a photo of Firza and little Rayyendra hugging Grandma at her bedroom console table, the photo was taken two months before she received the name Pradipta.

"If I had known that Pradipta's name was a wall between me and Ray, I wouldn't have accepted it, Grandma." Firza spoke to herself looking at the photo.

Taken a letter from the right pocket of his suit, his heart hesitated for a moment before unfolding the letter.

My dear Firza....

Forgive your late grandmother for being so selfish, demanding your return.

No, don't think Grandma's grateful for what Grandma gave you. Grandma's affection for you is sincere from Grandma's heart.

You're a boy who's grown up wise, Grandma's so proud of you, even Ray has a lot to learn from your maturity, but you know, he's stubborn beyond a rock. But will not a stone eventually be eroded if every day water is detected?

Firza, it's not without reason that Grandma wants to marry Ray and Litha, even though it will be painful for everyone, especially you, son.

Nor does Grandma know how you feel about Litha, but please let Grandma decide for herself this time with what she asks.

If Litha refuses, take her heart, make her your woman as you wish. However, if Litha accepts, Grandma is sure you know what you have to do. Grandma trusts you, Grandma can keep your promise.

Firza, you know, you're like a lamp in the darkness of Grandma's heart after Grandma's husband and daughter are gone. You're the one who lighted Grandma and Ray up to stay hand in hand. Grandma loves you with all of Grandma's soul.

Thank you for your loyalty and devotion to the Pradipta Family especially to this old woman you call Grandma.

Again Firza, remember, Grandma always loves you...

I don't know what Firza felt in her heart after reading the letter, which was clearly a bloodless pain.

Long he looked towards the west garden where he used to see Grandma and Litha chatting. The moment he loved in his life, seeing his two favorite people sharing a laugh. But now the two men gave pain in his life that he had to treat himself.

Geck... Geck... Geck...

The door was knocked, Mr. Is said that dinner was ready. Firza nodded. As he was preparing to disembark, a text message notification sounded,

'Brother, can I meet with Big Brother now?'

Firza's forehead frowned, a little astonished but typed in a reply as well,

'I'll be there. Wait out.'

Soon he took the coat and car keys, after he said goodbye and apologized for not having dinner at home to Mr. Is, Firza went straight to the location that had been sent.

...🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀...

Litha looked up, smiling at the calming handsome face of Firza.

"Not really Brother, I just need fresh air, even though now there is night air hehehehehe..."

"You're better than you were this afternoon?"

Litha nodded.

"Nr ...."

"Hmmm... "

"Does my sister still like me?"

Firza was stunned, why suddenly Litha asked her feelings.

"Why?" Firza did not answer but asked back.

"Because of Big Brother's answer that will be the determinant of my answer to Grandma's will."

Gleck....

Firza who was originally staring at Litha now took off her gaze to the already dark sky. He avoided Netra Litha, he would not be able to lie if he did.

"Why?" ask again.

"At least I can choose to live with people who can appreciate me."

Litha answered him with a bow, this time she wanted to decide by thinking of herself. Although his feelings for Firza at this time are only limited to brother, but he is sure he can grow his feelings later.

"Ray will appreciate you, Litha."

"What an answer is this!!! You lied to her, Firza!" cry out her little heart.

"Do you think I should obey Grandma, marry her?"

Litha was bowed, her eyes glazed over. Firza, who he had hoped as his last defense to dispel his guilt at Grandma by refusing his request now collapsed already.

"Grandmother I know, wouldn't think of anything without cause."

"So what's the reason Grandma asked Mr. Rayyendra to marry me?" litha's voice shook.

"Because you can fill the void in Ray's soul."

"Soul emptiness? Heh .. All this is just bullshit for me!"

Firza looked back at Litha, somewhat surprised to see her tear up again.

"Litha, take it easy without you seeing how I feel. Whatever it is, I will always support you."

Firza wanted to grab Litha's hand, strengthen her heart, but was undone by her intention, when Litha quickly moved her hand wiping away the tears on her cheek.

"Yes, you're right, brother. This is my life, so I must decide whether to accept Rayyendra as my husband or not, accept my destiny as the wife of Lord Pradipta whom she hates or not."

Litha said it clearly, but it made Firza feel torn apart. His eyes now seemed to be glazed, held it with all his might so that the glasses did not break.

Litha took a sip of the rest of the chilled chocolate drink, then said,

"I want to go home, brother."

Firza didn't say a word, she was just getting ready to go back to Litha.

"Sister, for the last time we're here, tell me you still want me, you don't want me to marry Rayyendra, sister, please, so that I don't harbor this guilt." pinta Litha in heart.

"Came on, Firza. This is your last chance. Tell her you love her, you don't want her willing to marry Ray. Come on Firza, say.." Firza's inner voice screamed.

Litha put on her jacket, reached for the key in her sling bag. Without a sound, just saying goodbye with each other nodding their heads.

Litha came home riding a motorbike empty. Behind the car Firza followed him, not preceded even though the bike in front runs slowly.

The glass in Firza's eyes was also scattered. He stared at the slender back of the girl he ultimately could not have because of the promise he had made.
