Lilian

Lilian
Complete Family


After the bell rang, Lilian said goodbye to her three friends early. Initially Gladis proposed to his friends to visit a cafe that was opened a few days ago located near their school. But because Lilian had an event with her family, they finally decided to postpone it until the four of them had free time.


This morning, Lilian had promised Efina that after school she should go with her two masters to attend an important event. Although Lilian did not know what important event she would attend but she had no intention at all to ask.


After traveling for a while, Lilian finally reached the house and was opened by Mang Asep, the security guard at Lilian's house.


Lilian walked into her home after parking her motorbike. Arriving inside, Lilian was immediately greeted by Efina who had been waiting for her return.


"It's a shame you're finally home." Ephina said, gently stroking Lilian's arm.


Lilian stared fixedly at Efina's worried face looking at her. "What's the Mah? Is something going on?" Lilian asked curiously.


Efina shook her head softly but her eyes reflected worry. "There is nothing dear ... You better go upstairs to clean yourself up. Mama has chosen you a dress and will be delivered by Bi Marni." Speak with a soft tone.


Lilian just nodded slowly and then said goodbye to Ephina to clean up.

Lilian looked at her appearance at a large glass in her room. After Lilian came out of the bathroom, Bi Marni came knocking on her door to bring her a dress that Efina had prepared for her.


The dress is colored plain peach tops and long sleeves. While the bottom is frilly with a mixture of peach and silver colors that are only knee-length. Lilian really liked the combination of the two colors of the dress that Efina chose, the color is not striking but makes Lilian's face look bright.


Lilian's hair was left unraveled but the tops were slightly braided and tied back. Lilian chose plain makeup by adding a peach-colored blash on both of her white cheeks. He also chose a lipstick color that is not too bright.


After twisting a few times to make sure she looked, Lilian finally picked up her little bag and walked out to meet her parents.


The room of Rahadian and Efina's family was ready and waiting for Lilian's arrival. The two sat facing each other with worried faces and did not speak to each other.


"Mah ... Pah ..." Panggi Lilian was hesitant.


Rahadian and Efina compactly turned to Lilian and threw a small smile at her.


"Are you guys okay?" Lilian asked who was astonished to see the same look on her parents.


Efina smiled back to relieve her worry. "We're both fine ... Oh yes you are beautiful." Ephina said, pinching Lilian's cheeks.


Lilian grimaced a little pain in her cheek because Arion had also pinched at the same spot before.


"Is Mama too tight to pinch you?" Efina asked as she gently stroked Lilian's cheek.


Lilian shook her head slowly. "Not really Mah ... It's just that there was a pinch on Lilian's cheek at school." Said doubtful.


"Who?" Rahadian asked with a curious look.


"Friends of Pah ... He's just as gnarled as Lilian's cheek so pinched." Lilian said with her grin.


"Ohh ..." Said Rahadian while speaking slowly.


"Then let's go now!" Take Lilian while staring at her parents alternately.


Lilian became convinced that her parents were hiding something from her. Seen from the look of worried face mixed doubt on the two. But in honor of the two, Lilian just kept quiet and waited for them to tell her themselves.


"Oh ... Come on." Efina said at last.


The three then set off in Rahadian's car. Usually Rahadian or Efina always use a driver to drive them anywhere. But for this time, Rahadian chose to drive his own car with Efina sitting next to him and Lilian sitting in the back seat.


During the trip the three were silent and only the sound of the engine from the car was heard. Lilian increasingly felt suspicious, not usually both parents just silent. Although Rahadian did not talk too much but he always asked Lilian a lot of things about what activities the girl did.


Ephina also seemed to have no intention of speaking anything to her husband or to Lilian. Thus making Lilian feel uncomfortable and decided to raise her voice the first time.


"Mah ... Pahs ... Brother not coming?" Lillian's question broke the coldness between the three.


Efina cleared her throat slowly before answering Lilian's question. "Your brother is busy on campus ... So the bell can attend this event. Maybe another time." He said without looking back where Lilian was.


Lilian just nodded slowly. "Oh ... Mmmm Papa today came home fast ... Not as usual, is this event very important?" Ask Lilian again.


Rahadian sighed softly. "Yes ... This show is very important." He said he stopped his car after looking for the right place.


Rahadian looked at Efina a long time later and looked at Lilian with a look that Lilian found very strange.


"Darling ... If the next place we go to happens unpleasant things, you can leave that place." Rahadian said with a face that Lilian did not understand at all.


"What's really there? Is something bad going to happen?" Lilian asked increasingly curious.


"No ... Papa says only if ... You don't have to worry." Efina said to try to calm down.


Lilian gave a rough sigh. "Mah ... Pahs ... Is this anything okay? Mama and Papa's attitude since then has been very strange. Lilian is actually okay but with Papa and Mama who behave like this makes Lilian uncomfortable." Said Lilian who was finally honest with how she felt.


"We'll attend the dinner ... For further clarity, you will know for yourself there later. But if there's something you don't think you're comfortable with there, then just stay away and let Mama and Papa take care of it." Efina said with a serious look.


Despite not understanding, Lilian nodded and continued on her way. During the trip Lilian only guessed what would happen in the place of the money they would come to make the look on the faces of both parents look very worried.


Lilian stared in amazement at a grand grand building that was in front of her at this moment. Lilian thought they were going to dinner at a restaurant or hotel. He did not think that the place they visited was a very luxurious session. The distance of the fence from the building alone must use a vehicle if not then anyone will feel exhausted if only walking.


The area of the courtyard even made Lilian have to hold her breath because it was almost like a residential complex. Let alone the building, the fence that Lilian had passed seemed to be specially carved from famous craftsmen, no matter how much the cost was spent just to make the fence.


In front of the luxurious building that Lilian saw today, stood two large and tall pillars. There was a dragon pattern engraved from the two pillars. Lilian's hands couldn't even bear to not touch the pillar.


"Gold really?" Lilian muttered softly while continuing to pay attention to the two pillars. The pillar has a dragon carving and carved using real gold in the dragon.


Not stopping from his admiration, dozens of people wearing Maid clothes lined up neatly in front of the main door of the luxury building and they bowed simultaneously.


"Welcome Mr, Madam and Young Miss." The servants' words were compact.


Ephina held Lilian by the hand and led her daughter into the luxurious building with Rahadian. Lilian was again fascinated by the building in the village, almost all the items arranged were goods of high selling value. If the servants make the slightest mistake in taking care of the items then they are done.


"How can a building like a palace?" Inner Lilian.


Lilian had since only noticed the contents of the mension without seeing the road. Fortunately, Efina held her hand so tightly that Lilian simply followed her step even though her eyes were looking the other way.


A man in a neat suit walked up to Rahadian and his family then bowed respectfully. "Welcome Mr, Madam and Young Miss ... The great lord and family have been waiting for you to come to the table to eat." Report the waiter.


"Take us." The word Rahadian is short.


"Please." The servant invited Rahadian, Ephina and Lilian to follow him to the place.


Lilian was still busy looking left and right at the building without paying attention to the road ahead of her. Lillian hit Efina's back, unaware that her parents had stopped walking and bowed in honor of the man in front of her.


Lilian of course immediately followed the thing that both her parents did. "We came to visit Papa." Said Lilian's parents.


Lilian rounded her eyes of disbelief hearing the "father" from both of Lilian's parents. That means that the person standing in front of Lilian right now is her Grandfather but she is still confused, that person is from Papa's or Mama's side.


"Do you finally remember where you came home?" Ask the man whom Papa called by Lilian's parents.


"Mahs ... Let's just have dinner to talk about this." Said one of the women who Lilian estimated her age is not much different from her mother.


Men whose age may enter the seventies and above have a firm face and a sturdy jaw. Although his age was no longer young, but his good looks were still clearly printed on his face.


Lilian looked at the faces of the people in front of her one by one. In addition to the man called Papa by Lilian's parents, there are three female figures who still look very beautiful. The first lady had a friendly and anghun smile, if Lilian guessed was the Wife of her Grandfather if both of Lilian's parents called her Papa. The second woman had a sweet smile and a very soothing gaze, her age might be a few years different from her Mother. And the last woman is a woman whose age may be the same as her mother, she has a beautiful face and a cheerful face.


There were a few more men that Lilian saw and her face was almost similar to Efina's. "Could it be your sister? This family is your family?" Inner Lilian.


Lilian's eyes caught a face that was also similar to Efina's. "There is another one that is similar ... Are they Mama's sister too? Which means my uncle?" Inner Lilian again.


There were still a few more people behind him, it seemed like they had only come after knowing Rahadian and his family had arrived. There were two young men, the first of whom looked very young, Lilian estimates she was still in junior high school. And the last one was a person that was so Lilian knew.


"Lo." Lilian and the man were the same. They even pointed at each other.


Everyone including both of Lilian's parents, stared at the two alternately. "You know each other?" Ask Rahadian.


Lilian nodded slowly. "He's my upperclassman." Reply Lilian.


"You're a school?" Ask the man Lilian guessed was his grandfather.


Lilian nodded back. "Yes." Yeah." Answer's short.


"My grandson is even one school with Rein yet I don't know it at all!! It's funny." He said with a cynical smile.


"Mr ... They just arrived. We'd better have dinner first." Said a woman Lilian had expected was her Grandma.


Everyone nodded in agreement, Rahadian and his family occupied the prepared seats. Tension dinner according to Lilian, there was no talk at all during the dinner. There was only the sound of the clanking of spoons being heard, occasionally the person who might have been the Grandmother of Lilian offered some side dishes to Lilian along with her two masters.

After the dinner was over, everyone walked towards the enormous living room. The room was designed beautifully and comfortably. It felt like there was family warmth in there. But for now the room was like an examination room, looking quiet and tense.


Until a baritone voice broke the lightness that had struck the room since. "Where have you been hiding my grandson?" Ask in a sharp tone.


"Father I never hid the whereabouts of our Daughters ... It's just that we moved around a lot adjusting Mas Rahadian's work." Efina answered nervously.


The man smiled cynically. "Daughters? As far as I know, the Arisena Family only has one female descendant ... And now he's in front of me." He said while staring intently at Rahadian.


"We have two Papa Daughters! Two is not one!" Said Efina whose chest was beginning to tighten.


"I only have one granddaughter and now I'm in front of me!! It is clearly visible in the color of her eyeballs that Arisena's bloodline has!! The other princess? He's just the kid you picked up!" His grandfather said very piercingly.


"Father!!" This time Rahadian is hooked.


Lilian's chest is very tight knowing this truth, in addition to knowing the fact that Efina Mama has a family that is still complete, other facts are also revealed. Keira, who loved Lilian with all her heart, was not Lilian's older brother. Lilian's chest really felt pain, not from feeling lied to but that fact made her feel pain. Lilian thought what if Keira knew that she was not the biological child of her parents, but if from the beginning her brother had known how she felt all along.
