Thorny Love

*Chapter 16

"I'm scared, Mom. I was afraid that Zia would hurt me again, if I stayed in your same house," Laila said, putting on a scared face.

"Laila-Laila, relax! Now look at me carefully. I will take care of you as best I can. I won't let Zia hurt you again for the second time. You must not be afraid of Zia. There I am" said Rama, holding Laila's face gently.

"No, Mas. I'm not sure you can take care of me. Because I know, you've loved Zia so much all along. The proof is, you don't dare to take him to the law because he killed our son."

"La, it's not that easy to take someone to

legal pathway. Every problem that wants to be brought into the path of the law must have proof. I promise you, I will take care of you as much as I can. I won't let Zia or anyone hurt you again. Besides, I've been hanging Zia unrobed, right?"

"Laila, Rama's right. He must be able to keep you from his first wife. You don't have to worry, son. From now on, Rama will always be by your side" said Sinta as if helping Rama. In fact, he was helping Laila.

"But, Ma .... "

"Sttts. It's been. If you stay with Rama, the chances of you being hurt by Zia are smaller than when you were living alone. Think carefully about what Mom said just now. Consider all possibilities. Zia will not hurt you as long as Rama is by your side. In fact, if you live alone, Zia's chances of hurting you are greater because Rama is rarely with you."

Laila fell silent. He seemed to think about what Sinta said just now. In fact, in fact, he was very happy when he heard Rama invited him to stay one house with Rama. He had imagined before, how happy to be a mistress in a luxurious house like Rama's house.

Laila did not care if the house was bought in the name of Zia or Rama. Clearly, she wanted to stay in the house as a hostess. If necessary, he will remove the owner of the house slowly so that the house is completely owned by him.

"How's Laila? You agree with the advice I gave you. You've been thinking, haven't you, what did you just say?" asked Rama expectantly.

"Okay, Mas Rama. I agreed to stay one house with you and Ms. Zia. But I ask, you must listen and follow what I say. You also have to take good care of me. I don't want that until your first wife even more freely hurt me if we stay in one house. Because I'm so scared of your first wife, Mom."

"All right, I'll follow what you ask. You take it easy, I won't let Zia mess with you. I promise."

"Well, I'll see the doctor who treated you first. I want to ask you when you can go home."

"Yes, Mas. Don't you take it long."

"It won't be long. You take it easy" said Rama, stroking Laila's hair.

"Ma, leave Laila for a second. I won't be long."

"Yes. You just calm down. Mama will take good care of Laila. As a fellow woman, my mother knew very well what it was like to be sick and to lose. So, you don't have to worry."

Sinta smiled while nodding, while Rama, he left the hospital room. The guilt in Rama's heart covered his love for Zia. Although he loved Zia very much, but if he remembered what Zia did, he felt hate for Zia.

After Rama's back was not seen again. Sinta and Laila looked at each other, then both laughed happily. They also did their happy tos ria ranking.

"Oh my God, my God. I can't believe it, Ma. Mas Rama instead offered me to stay in a luxurious house with him," said Laila very happily.

"Yes, mama also did not think that Rama even offered you to stay with him. Mama also did not know earlier, you refused Rama's invitation. But in fact, you refuse to just look for face again."

"Reality dong, Ma. Where might I refuse to ask Rama to stay one house with him. Nolak invited to stay one house with Rama mas, just as I rejected the mountain of gold that is in front of the eyes."

"Yes, you are not sane. Nolak invited to stay one house, because you want to buy another luxury house from Rama. It was bought in your name, not the name of his first wife."

"Gak ah, than I asked to buy a new house with Rama, mending I asked to buy a lot of jewelry, or ask for a lot of money from Rama mas. Even though the house was purchased in Zia's name, do I care who the owner of the house is? Yes obviously, I can stay inside that house as a hostess."

'It's really not sane these women. How dare he speak in front of me. Did he forget I was Rama's mother?' sinta asked in her heart while smiling uneasily.

Two days later, Laila was allowed to return home. Rama actually brought Laila home. When Bik Imah saw Rama carrying Laila, Bik Imah was shocked. He did not understand what was really happening to his employer's family.

"Bik, where's Zia?" rama asked when he saw the bik Imah speechless.

"The lady is not at the house of Lord Rama. He hasn't come home since yesterday."

"Oh That. Oh yeah, you know, this is Laila, the new lady of this house. From now on, he'll stay here with us."

"New nyo-mrs?" ask bik Imah not understand.

"Have, don't ask too many questions. Just do your job well. You're here to make money, aren't you?x asked Sinta who had just entered the house.

"The lady is big." Bik Imah bowed when he saw Sinta.
