The Will of Young Master
I'm Relinquishing It
The door opened, Rayyendra's face sour with what he saw, Firza Nathan Pradipta smiled at him. He glanced behind Firza, there was Abyan leaning against the wall, indifferent, deliberately avoiding Ray's irritated gaze.
Ray did not move away from the door, instead shifting his body blocking Litha's vision.
"Would you like to come here?" ketus Ray's.
"Why didn't you tell me Litha's mother died?"
"Lantas, what would you do if I told you?"
Ray did not move a bit from where he was standing. Abyan who saw them laughed inwardly.
"Come, do it like yesterday in the office so that the women you fight for can see it hahahaha ... It's a pity that I didn't record it."
"I would like to have my condolences" said Firza.
"Yes, now you've done it and I'll tell Litha. Now go home."
"Hey! You fuck? I've come all the way to see him face to face."
"I'm her husband. Not without my permission."
Litha was confused who saw her husband from earlier standing without seeing who his interlocutor was.
"Mas, who is that?" ask Litha to her husband.
"Alright, Ray. Let's compete sportily. Are you afraid of losing if Litha's heart is taken away, so you're hiding behind her husband's status?"
Ray closed his eyes for a moment, regulating his rising emotions. Right, he wants and should know Litha's feelings for her, because what Ray knows is that she loves Litha, but how does Litha herself feel about her? Did Litha accept it only because of the child she contained? But he was also afraid if the facts did not match his expectations, let him not know how Litha felt to him and he will assume that Litha loved him more than he had to live a life together but was hurt because he knew his wife's heart belonged to someone else.
Eventually, Ray puts his body aside, allowing Firza to enter.
"Sister Firza?" pekik Litha pleased.
He hadn't seen Firza in a long time, last time at dinner at the main house. Firza walked quickly closer to Litha who was still sitting leaning on the bed. Ray also follows Firza's steps and positions himself beside Litha against Firza and Abyan who replaced Ray's position at the door, standing guard.
"How are you doing?"
"Good, Brother."
"I'm so sorry, Lith. Must be a difficult time for you, may you be strong through it yes ... There's a big brother if you need anything."
"I'm her husband" said Ray. Litha looked towards her husband, increasingly confused.
"Why man?"
"Everyone knows you're her husband. Can I have a word with Litha, Ray?"
"No."
Firza let out a long sigh, she knew Ray would never leave her alone with Litha after what she said yesterday. His eyes glanced at Ray.
"I just want to know why you're requiring your marriage to 20 percent of Grandma's estate?"
Ray and Litha were equally surprised.
"Why are you discussing this matter here now?!?" (Ray)
" Did Brother Firza know about our marriage? Who told you?" (Litha)
"Do you know where?"
"It doesn't matter where you know. But I want to know your reason?"
Litha hesitated to say it, but she was also already asked.
"For Brother never went away from the Pradipta Family. One day Brother wants to leave the Pradipta Family right?"
Glacier ....
Firza was surprised not to play, Litha knew her hidden intentions that she had been keeping tight. Indeed Firza would one day want to leave the Pradipta Family if he had found out the news of his sister. He used the name Pradipta to help find the only family he still had.
"Grandmother once said to me like that. Grandma had a premonition, no matter what reason you want to leave the Pradipta Family, but obviously Grandma is not willing to leave this family. My grandmother once asked me how to prevent it. At that time I did not know to answer. Grandma would not ask her to her granddaughter because she knew, her granddaughter would instead let Kak Firza go with joy."
Ray furrowed both of his brows towards the middle, not liking to hear it, wasn't that a good thing?
"But I could've sold 20 percent of it and I'd have run away?"
Ray's eyes are wary of hearing Firza's intention to sell his share and run away.
"Sister Firza is not that kind of person. Even if Big Brother does it there must be a compelling reason that can be understood."
Firza let out a long sigh, she neither denied nor assented. No one knew him as well as this woman before him.
"I heard you're pregnant? How many months?" ask Firza to switch the conversation. There was a pair of sharp eyes watching him.
"The doctor said it was 14 weeks, brother. But maybe I'm too sad left by Mom that I have to take a full break here."
"No, you're here because that little boy is right next to you."
Firza smiled, "Congratulations Lith, you will soon be Mother, you will definitely be a good mother to her, not knowing that her father."
"Damn you ... !!!"
Ray beaver Firza quipped him blatantly in front of his wife straight away, he had already picked up an apple to throw at Firza, but Litha's hand stopped him.
Litha returned Firza's smile, "I'm sure Mas Rayyendra will be a good husband and father. Sis Firza don't worry, I'm happy now."
Silent.
There is a lost heart. Lost without any hope of return. He could only comment on his smile again despite the bitter terribly agonizing. If only he had embraced the heart of the woman of his clan who was worried because of a will, of course his name will be called the woman.
If there is a heart missing, then there is a heart that is flying into space through the earth's atmosphere, floating freely without gravity. His wife was able to make it in front of the rival without having to overdo it, he could hit Firza's heart to crumble dimly.
"Even so I heard you say my name, dear .., "breath-flowering bathin Ray.
"Yes, if you're sure, I'm sure too."
"Halah .. poetic snobs! Heartbroken, you are now! Obviously Litha's mine, what do you want?" said Ray inwardly, clearly childish. He folded his hands on his chest and smiled triumphantly, as if mocking his foster brother.
"Litha .." Firza's voice hangs.
"Yes, Brother?"
"Live happily."
🙋 Author kok nyesek ya nulis part this 😭 🙋
Firza's eyes were thin misty, he had to give up Litha for the second time at once last, because after this he no longer had hope.
"Yes, Brother. Brother Firza also hope to get happiness. Big brother good man, I'm sure Big brother will find him."
Firza could only smile sadly hearing that.
"Ray, can I have a word with you? Your wife will allow it."
Ray clucked. But Litha's eye gesture said to follow what Firza said.
"okay."
# In the open garden of Medical Health Hospital #
Ray and Firza stood facing the fish pond. In the clear water, koi fish wander beautifully dancing.
"It turns out you're on leave because of this? I don't have much time. Tell me what you want to say," Ray said.
"Yes." Yeah." Ray answered briefly lazily.
"Welcome to win Litha's heart, Ray." Suddenly the topic changed.
"Of course, she's my wife."
"Stupid! I know she's your wife, too, but she loves you too. You already have her heart." - bathin Firza.
"Do you really love her, Ray?"
"What kind of answer do you want?"
"The honest answer of your heart."
"Yes. I love her."
"What's big?"
Ray did not answer him directly, he looked at the questioner's face.
"Don't hesitate. Just say it honestly. I just want to know, I'm not gonna take my sister's wife."
"She was my first love and I will love her to be my last love."
Silent. Only his second breath was heard.
Firza patted her foster sister's shoulder, "Ray, take good care of her, don't hurt her heart. From now on live happily with her."
Ray turned to Firza, yesterday he steadily said he loved Litha, now why is this so?
"I'm happy to hear that, Ray. You love each other." Firza smiled looking into Ray's eyes.
Ray's confused, "Litha loves me? How did he know? Litha didn't say anything, why was Firza convinced that Litha loved me, not her?"
"I sincerely let Litha live with you because she will be happy."
He patted Ray's shoulder once more, "Be an adult, litha will not take care of two babies."
"Well!!! What the fuck are you, Za," said Ray spontaneously.
Firza was flabbergasted in disbelief. Did he not hear wrong?
Zaa .....
Ray's nickname was for him before there was hate in his sister's heart. His heart was breaking, was this a sign that Ray's heart was softening on him after a long time of petrification?
Ray smiled at her, embraced Firza's shoulder and said quietly.
"I'm sorry, it's been too haughty and selfish. Litha opened my eyes that you weren't who I thought you were. You're gonna be Pradipta's big-hearted uncle."
Firza immediately hugged Rayyendra, there was a clear circle flowing in the corner of her eyes. He did not expect it at all, Ray would say so, accepting it back in his heart. That taste is growing.
"Litha, thank you ..."
Firza took off her arms, "One message I have, if I ever find out you hurt her again, without excuse I'll take it from you."
"Damn you!" Ray punched Firza in the stomach.
The two Pradipta men who fought yesterday are now laughing together. Abyan stared from a distance with his smile.
🍀 flashback on 🍀
At 03:00 in the morning, Abyan's phone was sent an incoming message.
'I was in the hotel lobby. Come down, I have something to ask you.' - Firza.
Half-sleep, he went down to meet Firza at the hotel lobby.
"Sorry to interrupt your rest, Assistant Yan."
"Don't hesitate. What's up, Mister? Reportedly Mr. is on leave."
"Yes, there's something I want to make sure of you."
"It's definitely about Young Master."
"Yes. Has Rayyendra met Litha?"
Abyan nodded. "Young Master has apologized. Young Madam has a broad heart to forgive and accept back Young Master."
"Do you know why Litha took Ray back?
"I don't know, Mister. it could be because of the fetus in the womb of Young Madam who became the adhesive of their relationship."
"Litha's pregnant?"
"Yes, Sir."
Firza feels like in the middle of a choppy ocean, crashing but also not dead. He was silent for a moment, arranging his heart beating.
"You know Rayyendra. Do you think Ray loves Litha?"
"As far as I know, yes. Even the Young Master defeated his own ego pleading for the Young Madam's love."
"What about Ramona?"
"Actually the Young Master has never loved Mona. He appreciates Mona very much because Mona is the first woman he knows in his association, so he obeys all of Mona's wishes including being her lover. Surely Ramona is a nice and sweet woman, but somehow the more here Ramona is not able to control herself, different when we met in America. But Mr. Firza need not worry, Young Master's heart is already anchored to Young Madam."
"Litha herself?"
"Young Lady does have a golden personality, not a single person who knew her disliked her. But how is Young Madam's heart? only the Madam herself knows."
"I have to make sure of that, Assistant Yan, so that I can take the next step. I don't want Grandma's marriage will to shackle the two in a state of being forced to accept, even if there's a child."
"So what are you going to do?"
"Tomorrow I'll meet Litha, let me see for myself. Litha's eyes never lied. If I see any love for Ray there even a little bit, I'll let it go. But if he is forced to accept just because Ray is the father of the child he contains, then I will go forward, I am also a Pradipta." Firza decided.
In the end, after breakfast at the Abyan hotel escorted Firza to the inpatient room.
"What do they do early in the morning in a hospital room with the door locked?" bathin Abyan while continuously pounding nonstop.
After the sound of the door handle was pressed he immediately retreated to lean against the wall behind Firza.
🍀 flashback off 🍀
"Master, how do you know that Young Madam loves Young Master too?" abyan asked as he escorted Firza to the airport back to the capital to take care of the company while without a leader.
"Love is very clearly seen in Litha's eyes when calling the name Rayyendra, even he called it with a special greeting. Stupidly, the boy did not understand that his wife also had the same feelings as him, hahahaha ..". "firza replied shaking her head with a laugh, but the bitterness in the laughter was so obvious.
"Did you really let it go?"
"As long as they love each other and live happily, there's no reason I don't let go. I'll just be the front line." Firza said with a genuine smile.
"Ah, sir, your heart is very kind. The Great Mistress was so good at choosing good-hearted people to be around her granddaughter. You're very lucky, Ray."
Abyan was not aware, he was also one of the people the Great Mistress had chosen. He immediately asked Mr. Sas to put the nephew he had met directly during High School as a close friend of Ray abroad.
