The Will of Young Master

The Past (Part 5)

Sasmita clenched her hands with a reddened face.

"Sebastian!*sat!" maki Sasmita after he heard about Ramona, Sebastian's daughter also attended school in the same country as Rayyendra, even living in the same apartment building, although different universities.

"Sas, we should be more vigilant after this, since our position is now far from Young Master. We can't look after him like he lives here" whispered Isaac, afraid that someone might hear his conversation in the kitchen of the main house.

The servants in the House of Pradipta were not given permission to roam inside the main house except for the servant appointed to perform an order. Their place is a large building consisting of many rooms and adjacent to the kitchen as well as a warehouse that is used according to its function. The two-storey house where the Pradipta Family lived was quiet because the area was almost equal to the football field was only inhabited by a few people, especially after Rayyendra and Firza were abroad.

"I'm going to ask Abyan to keep an eye on them."

"Yes, it's a good thing that the Big Madam is thinking so far. He put Abyan there," said Isaac sighing.

"Great Lady once told me, there's nothing she believes in other than me, you, Lydia, and Prasojo. He chose Abyan because he was my nephew. The Grand Lady was very affectionate and took care of her grandson, the only successor in the Pradipta Clan. He was also very sad because the members of the Pradipta Family would only have Young Master left until he hoped his grandson would have many children."

Almost every day Abyan is obliged to report Rayyendra's condition there. Whatever he did and how he got along, especially with Ramona without Rayyendra knowing.

"Uncle, I can't force Ray to hang out with Ramona" Abyan said on the phone.

He called the name Young Master by his name directly because he and Rayyendra were close friends, plus Bona Santoso, a student from the same country, studying at the same university and also living in the same apartment building, the difference is that he is there at his own expense because his family has the largest retail expenditure in his country and must always be in every major city.

"Alright, keep an eye on him."

"Uncle, I think Mona's a good girl. Rayyendra also looks comfortable being around her."

"Don't judge someone too quickly. I know his father very well, a little bit of his parents' upbringing will affect his character. Don't be rash, Yan. Live your day normally, stay by Young Master's side and stay aware if he drinks alcohol."

"Good, Uncle. Hahahhahaha. Ray's been very respectful to me ever since I puked him hahahaha ..." rang Abyan.

Ramona is known by Rayyendra, Abyan and Bona as a kind and sweet girl. He often told them that he was often forced by his father to do what his father told him to do, including where he is now, not at all his desire, but part of his mission to ensnare Young Master Pradipta of course he did not convey.

"Why is your father so evil? You're his daughter, Mon. He shouldn't have treated you like that" Rayyendra said when Mona said her father's temper was so bad when angry, he could have hurt her physically, very differently if it was his sister, though clearly wrong, it remains protected.

They were gathering in the winter of their third year in a cafeteria. Mona tries to draw attention and pity from the figure of Rayyendra. Not because of his father's order telling him to approach Rayyendra but because he felt he had fallen in love with the man. Mona can feel the sincerity given to her, even if it is just attention. Beyond the haughty and arrogant nature of Rayyendra as well as the coercive, he can make a woman flattered. He was educated by the Grand Lady to appreciate and respect women, no wonder almost all of his female friends who know the figure of Young Master Pradipta will like him including Ramona.

"He wants you how and what?" search Abyan.

"Engg .. I do not know. I'm also confused what my father wants me to look like."

"This is your order, Miss. Please enjoy."

A young brown-haired girl carries a tray containing two soft drink cans, two glasses of warm chocolate milk and a plate of fries. Ramona immediately stood up after thanking the waiter and placed a plate of fries in the middle of the table, soft drinks for Abyan and Bona, while warm chocolate milk for him and Rayyendra.

Rayyendra's facial features changed, his eyebrows looking at the glass in front of him.

"Mon, it's not that you know that Ray doesn't like to drink warm chocolate milk," Bona told Mona but her eyes glanced at Ray.

"I know, but right, now that it's so cold, she needs something warm" Mona smiled back at Ray, trying to pay more attention than a friend, unfortunately, Ray showed his angry face.

"Then why are you giving us soft drinks? Just order all the same drinks then" said Abyan, upsetting Mona.

"You know what I like and don't like. Don't even give me to force me to like what I don't like, let alone intentionally. I'm holding back my anger at you, Mona, because you're my best friend but I hope you don't repeat it." Ray pointed his finger arrogantly in front of Ramona's pajamas face.

"Ma--sorry, Ray. I-I just-" said Mona stammered but she could not continue her sentence, her lips were cuddly, her eyes were already reddened.

"What only?!?" Ray's voice was rising.

"Just want to give you attention, Ray. Ahh. You will definitely get even more angry if I say it and will avoid me. I don't want to, I don't want to .... I'll do what you want, Ray. Whatever it is."

Ramona's tears managed to escape from one of her eyes falling onto her cheek.

"Alright, Ray. Chocolate milk alone was a problem," Bona continued to try to melt the tense atmosphere on their table.

Ray glared at Bona with warning eyes, Bona closed his mouth, then rubbed Mona's shoulders to open her heart.

"Yan, we're pulling. My mood is no longer on this table" said Ray inching to his feet, grabbing his jacket and bag followed by Abyan.

Bona shook his head, "Young Master is arrogant when his heart is pinched, even though it is only a trivial matter."

"Then get used to yourself like that if you still want to be around him. We all know his nature, it can change 180 degrees if his mood changes. Warm chocolate milk we see it trivial, but not for Ray," said Abyan then followed Rayyendra's steps.

"Look, that snob knows all too well! He's like his personal assistant, huh! Never mind Mona, you know she doesn't like warm chocolate milk, because it reminds her of her father who always gives Ray a glass of warm chocolate milk every night. You bring bitter memories to him, different things if you give it vanilla milk, strawberry or any taste other than chocolate," said Bona long sigh.

Ramona understands, from then on she acts according to what Ray likes and negates what Ray dislikes until when Ramona asks Ray to be her lover, Rayyendra did not mind because there was no word of rejection on the figure of Ramona for him.

"Abyan, how could Ramona and the Young Master be lovers?" gusar Sasmita's.

"Either Uncle, all this time that was in Ray's brain was Pradipta Corp. What made him suddenly declare Ramona as his lover at the evaluation meeting earlier, I also do not know, which I know Ramona is good at whining at him. Even worse I have to do all the director's duties at Prad's Fashion & Style because Ramona can't do it ... "

Abyan's answer did not satisfy his uncle. Sasmita believes Sebastian is up to something with his adopted daughter, but he still faintly sees what Sebastian's true purpose is.

It felt like he introduced Rayyendra to many women to divert her from Ramona, but as Abyan said, in his mind there was only Pradipta Corp., he said., no woman can attract his attention except in relation to work.

Only Ramona, the only woman who Rayyendra considers 'there' is out of work because he already knew before leading Pradipta Corp. Rayyendra's attention was not diverted until there was a student who dared to ask him in public lectures, instead of asking the truth, rather satirizing Young Master Pradipta in public.

🍀 flashback off 🍀

Abyan is flabbergasted to hear that Ramona is Sebastian's adopted daughter.

"Had he treated Mona so differently from her sister. Sebastian is so cunning! She uses Ramona for her own hatred, heh-but Mona's feelings for Ray are sincere, Uncle. He once said that he found a figure to protect him that he did not get from any man including his father."

"Are you sure?"

Abyan nodded, "For this one I am very sure. I saw it for myself, his eyes always sparkled when he was near Ray, although Ray often ignored him," replied Abyan.

"But now, Ramona must bury her hope. Blazing eyes like the ones in her eyes, now I see them in Ray's eyes when I see Litha" she said.

Sasmita patted his nephew on the shoulder several times, "It must be admitted that Young Madam is the helper of the Pradipta Family. Its nature was similar to that of the Great Mistress who also saved Pradipta Corp. back then."

"It's not similar, Uncle, but Litha is indeed the Big Lady's incarnation, hahahahahaha ..."

"Call Young Madam, not her name even if the Madam asks you to."

"Hehehe yes, Uncle, sorry." Abyan scratched his non-itchy nape.

"Sebastian will not give up, he will think of another way to destroy the family that once saved his life. If Ramona complained about it yesterday, then it is certain that Young Madam is insecure. I'll take care of her, but when I'm not around, you'll have to take care of her. Put Young Madam's priority above Young Master's, because at least Young Master is strong enough to protect himself."

Abyan nodded in understanding, then they immediately stopped talking after hearing Ray's voice call out his name.

"Yan, prepare everything, the day after we return to the Capital. Litha had been allowed by the doctor to board the plane" Ray said as he passed into his bedroom, his hand clasping his wife's fingers tightly with a smile. Litha simply replied with a shy smile.

"Good, Sir."

"Take everything my wife bought during our courtship in the square. Share it with anyone who wants," he said again as he walked while kissing the back of Litha's hand that was still smiling shyly.

"Huh?!? The square? What is bought and why is it bought if you don't want it?" asked Abyan in astonishment.

"Yes because my wife wants it that way" Ray said before he and Litha disappeared behind the door, then there was the sound of their bedroom door being locked from the inside with the sound of laughter and little cries of Litha.

Abyan is curious what Litha bought but doesn't want it. He immediately went to the front of the house to look at it, and what he saw made him sigh deeply.

"How many traders does Mrs wholesale trade?" muttered Abyan saw a confused Bu Saroh facing a warm ginger drink package with a typical City A filling that meets the entire inside of the car except the driver and passengers beside the driver.

Ms. Saroh just shook her head, "Then does this all want to be flanked, Mister?"

"Share it to anyone, Mom. My head was suddenly dizzy," Abyan replied and left Bu Saroh while twitching his own forehead.
