Revenge: Reborn
Chapter 61 Hand Painting
Hearing Thomas say about the little allowance Mrs Iswara gave Ivona, Grandpa was furious. With a fierce gaze, grandfather looked at Madam and Lord Iswara.
"Now I'm going to ask you both. What are all the treasures and money you have, all of which you got from the company I founded?? How can you treat my granddaughter that ironically?" in a high voice while trembling, grandfather asked papa and mama Ivona.
Lady Iswara looked at Lord Iswara, but her husband was silent and did not try to defend her. The middle-aged woman was irritated, as she became the only person to be blamed by grandfather at this time. And right now no one wants to help him, even Thomas only sees him as a fool.
"Jawab my question!! Are your ears unable to digest my words?? Just like a real child himself, can't you pay more attention to him, enough for everything he needs?" grandfather still continues his emotional overflow on papa and mama Ivona.
"Grandfather.., drink hot tea first huh!! Let grandfather's chest not tight, and reduce his anger so that grandfather becomes more fit and energetic." suddenly Ivona gave a cup of hot tea to his grandfather with a sweet smile.
Grandfather looked towards Ivona, and the girl steadily nodded her head. Seeing Ivona's sincere gaze and smile, grandfather's heart became relieved again. He immediately took out a teacup from his grandson's hand, then drank two gulps. Seeing that her grandfather had been drinking, Ivona immediately took back the cup and placed it on the table.
"Thank you, you are indeed a very understanding granddaughter." Grandfather again praised Ivona. The compliment caused pain in Vaya's heart, with her face drawn towards Ivona.
After putting down the cup, Ivona took a scribble from the bag she had hidden behind her seat.
"Ivona has a gift for grandfather, but the gift is not expensive because Ivona money is not enough if you have to buy expensive gifts for grandfather. Does Grandpa want to take it?" ivona asked with a plain look.
"Must want Nana.. If the gift is expensive, grandfather still has a lot of money to buy it himself. If grandfather can't afford to come to the place where the seller is, he can easily buy it online" said the grandfather with a smile.
Ivona then gave her a gift box which she wrapped in gift paper with batik motifs. With a sparkling face, the grandfather received the gift given by his grandson and then opened it slowly.
"Nana...., who painted this grandfather's face?" grandfather looked up at the hand painting that depicted his face smiling while holding a cigar. An aura of authority is clearly visible from the sketch.
"Ivona's grandfather painted it himself. Why.., ugly cake?" with a bit of fear Ivona answered her grandfather's question.
"This is my granddaughter.., Grandpa wants to hug you. This painting is very good, grandfather did not expect if grandfather's grandson turned out to be very smart to produce his own handmade work. Grandpa is moved dear, you spent your time just to give this work. Grandfather liked her very much." With eyes moist from the taste of haru, Grandpa hugged Ivona tightly.
Seeing how grandfather's intimacy with Ivona was, Vaya's expression became very upset. She held back her emotions until she trembled, and seeing her daughter's reaction Lady Iswara immediately clasped her hands.
"Sometimes you want to teach Ivona to paint. Or you're painting brother's face." Thomas came along to speak up to lift grandfather's mood.
"If Ivona's fit there's no work, brother. For now, Ivona has a lot to catch up with the subject matter." Ivona makes excuses to reject Thomas.
"You're Thomas. You should have helped Ivona to pursue her subject matter, don't even make her add work." said grandfather defending Ivona.
"Yes, pardon, Thomas promised. Will always be next to Nana." hearing the words of Thomas, Grandpa and Ivona immediately laughed.
Seeing the three people laughing in front of him, Vaya felt increasingly claustrophobic and emotional. The multibillion-dollar gift he gave to grandfather, turned out to be worth nothing compared to Ivona's hand painting.
"I should be the only Big Miss in Iswara's family, if only the girl hadn't shown up." furiously, Vaya spoke to herself.
***************
Until late in the night, grandfather was still chatting with Ivona and Thomas. Madam and Lord Iswara, also Vaya just looked at them with an annoyed look. Inevitably they had to wait until grandfather rested into the room.
"Grandfather.., Vaya just got home from the piano tour yesterday. The audience's response was very good, even music observers to do standing applause for Vaya" said Vaya to take the heart of grandfather.
"Hm." Grandpa's response was brief, and looked back at Ivona and Thomas.
"What about your teachers, are they being nice to you?" Grandpa asked Ivona.
"Well the cake.., and this afternoon, Ivona was shocked. Why also the teacher of Physics Ivona suddenly appointed to be a representative of Physics. Though Ivona was sure, in a better class there must be." Ivona tells about the last incident in Physics class.
"What a great granddaughter grandfather now.. Anyway grandfather asked, you should continue to study harder." grandfather's face looked very bright, and increasingly made the three people in front of him even more upset.
Suddenly Lady Iswara beckoned Vaya to fetch a cake for her grandfather. Without thinking, Vaya picked up a piece of banana cake and then approached grandfather.
"Grandfather.., this banana cake is delicious you know cake, very legit. Grandpa taste it first huh?" with a sweet face, Vaya gives a small plate containing pieces of cake to please her grandfather.
"Vaya.., don't you know if grandpa has to cut down on sugar. That cake isn't suitable for grandpa's diet." Thomas immediately commented on Vaya's attitude.
Grandfather only glanced at Vaya with a cynical look, and Vaya felt completely wrong.
"I'm sorry Vaya kek.., Vaya forgot if grandpa's new diet." Vaya with a blackened red face immediately pulled back the small plate she was about to hand over to grandfather.
Suddenly, the waiter came to them, and informed them that two guests were going to meet Mr. Iswara.
"Just ask to come in, and join us here!" Mr. Iswara gave instructions immediately.
"Good sir." The housekeeper immediately rushed out to meet the guests.
Not long after, two young men walked into the living room. All eyes were on him, and their gaze was centered on one of the men standing next to one guest who was used to Mr. Iswara. The eyes of Vaya and Lady Iswara instantly lit up again.
