BEING THE WIFE OF HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW
CHAPTER 13. REQUEST PERMISSION
After waiting for a while finally their family doctor came. Although the clock has shown midnight, but if Grandpa Bimo who contacts then anyone will be ready to move immediately.
Rama's head was wrapped in bandages. Fortunately, the man's injuries were not so severe that he did not need to be taken to hospital. He was sitting on the sofa in front of the bed. At that time he had changed clothes after being reminded by his grandfather. His hands still continued to wipe his tears that occasionally still came out. In his heart, Kian felt very sorry for what he had done to the man. It is true that Kian's intention is only to protect himself but not the slightest thought he would hurt the man.
Grandpa Bimo was still standing next to the grandson sitting on his bed. His eyes occasionally glanced at Kian who seemed to be daydreaming.
"This is some medicine that must be taken by Mr. Rama," said the doctor while giving a small piece of paper with a prescription drug.
"Good doctor" Grandpa Bimo replied.
After finishing with all his affairs, the doctor finally resigned his resignation. Grandpa Bimo walked out of the room to take the doctor to the front door.
Rama still stared intently at Kian whose position was in front of him. The anger in his heart for the woman became even more so after what the woman had done to him.
"I really hate him. Hate it so much" Rama grumbled inwardly.
He realized that the man in front of him was staring at him intensely. That was why he did not dare to look towards the front where their gazes could have met each other. Worry now envelops the heart. On one hand he was eager to move forward to approach Rama and apologize to him, but on the other hand he was still afraid of the man in front of him.
He closed his eyes, inhaled a deep breath, trying to calm his heart. One decision he had to make and in the end he chose to apologize. Slowly stand up from the sofa. His gaze began to rise little by little until in the end the two pairs of netra meet each other.
"Mas.me…"
Kian's words as well as his steps came to a halt when Rama raised his hand. That movement again. The signal that Kian should be silent and not have to continue whatever he wants to say or do. A signal that Rama did not want to know anything that the woman would do.
As usual, if Rama had done that, Kian seemed to turn into a statue that just remained motionless. All the words he had prepared in his heart, which he had eagerly planned to reveal to Rama, but in fact with just one hand move, made everything disappear.
Stuffy.. That's all I feel now. He had to re-press the emotions that were in his heart.The already passionate spirit should he dim as hard as he could.
"Alright, maybe it is not yet time for us to talk seriously," said Kian.
***
Day at Grandpa Dul's house. A pretty big house, although not as big as Grandpa Bimo's house. Like Grandpa Bimo, Grandpa Dul also has a hereditary family business that this time is still the responsibility of himself and also the child, Lukman.
Everyone is gathered in the family room. There's Dul's grandfather, Lukman's father, Araya's mother, and of course Lian disguised as Kian. Everyone there fell silent and looked at each other for a moment then all eyes were on Lian.
"Yes Dad. I've been thinking about this for a long time. I even applied for a job there for a long time and last night I got a reply email from the company, he said I was accepted to work there," said Lian with enthusiasm.
"But kid, it's out of town. After all, if you really want to work, why work in the company of others? Aren't you able to work in our family company?" ask Grandpa Dul.
"That's exactly the cake. I don't want my job to be affected by my status. I knew that I could work for our family company. Even grandfather can position me wherever I want. But I don't want that, Cake. I want to work on my own, ", explains Lian.
"Does that mean you're gonna live there, son?" Now Ibu Araya said.
"Yes Mom. I'll rent a house there. If I go back and forth, I'm tired. Mom, dad, and grandpa don't have to worry. I was there with friends. And I can guarantee that they are good children" Lian said with a smile.
"Yes, I believe in you. Your company is not like your brother Lian's. But this is the first time you've stayed away from us. And of course we are worried" Lukman's father said.
Lian slightly widened her lips when she heard the father say that his association was not good.
"But Dad, this is a golden opportunity for me. I've dreamed of working for that company for a long time. And this is the time. I beg you, please allow me to go there. I beg you."
Lian held her hands together in front of her chest. Lukman's father, Araya's mother and Grandpa Dul looked back at each other. This was the first time Kian had insisted on asking them for permission. He usually discusses with them before making a decision. But now? Is the job really that important to Kian? That was the third thought of the three men.
"How's it?" Lian spoke again.
Although hesitant, in the end, the three of them nodded. That certainly makes Lian very happy. The plan that he had arranged with the lover turned out to be successful without any significant obstacles. Yes, of course they do not complicate it because in fact all three of them know is Kianlah who has asked for permission. If they only knew that the one who spoke was Lian, then it was certain that they would not allow her to leave.
Last night Vicky had planned this so that he and Lian could continue to meet every night. The condition of Lian living with her parents was the main obstacle they could not meet at all times. That's why Vicky asks her lover to lie to her family and Lian agrees.
Lian hugged her father, mother, and grandfather in turn. He was very happy and thanked them, not because they had allowed him to leave, but because they were too stupid to realize all his plays so that all his plans could go very smoothly, thought Lian.
