After You Go
5. A Secret

Two years ago, due to an accidental encounter, Kezia was determined to leave his home for the sake of an Alan Pratama.

" Are you sure you want to go? " ask his father.

" I'm sorry, Dad. I love her so much! " kezia replied with confidence.

" There are a lot of handsome young men waiting for you. Are they not good enough for you? "

" A feeling can't be forced, dad! "

" Hmm, okay! But does he love you too? "

" He must love me. To be exact, I'm gonna make him love me! "

Rayhan Bramasta smiled.

" Yes, of course! Supposedly with your personality and status, no young man would dare to reject you. "

" No, dad! I'm not going to use Bramasta's family status to make her love me. "

Rayhan's forehead fluttered.

" well! I can't force you, I respect your decision. But, if in two years you can't make it melt, you should be able to accept the decision you made! "

All those memories, still clinging vividly to Rayhan Bramasta's memory. Instantly, his body trembled as he got the news that his only daughter wanted to go home. Immediately, Rayhan ordered all the workers in his house to welcome Kezia.

One thing that makes Rayhan wonder, Kezia came home with a husband, or came home with defeat. There was a slight annoyance in Rayhan, because Raditya did not provide more detailed information.

" Mister, the lady has arrived! " luna's smile continued to crack, she was Kezia's favorite servant.

It was a huge blessing for Luna, to be able to work in the Bramasta family. If not for Kezia being a very gentle person of his heart, perhaps he would still be a homeless person until now.

When Kezia left the house, Luna was the one who did not stop crying. Therefore, Luna was very enthusiastic when she found out that her young lady was coming home soon.

Rayhan followed Luna's steps, welcoming Kezia's arrival with the servants and security on the porch.

They lined up neatly on the left and right sides until they reached the front of the gate, giving a respectful greeting to Kezia and Raditya who walked side by side.

" Dad, I'm home! " Kezia ran to hug Rayhan.

Rayhan's feelings grew even more turbulent as Kezia came into his arms.

" Yes, welcome back home, son! "

" Eh, miss, come with me! I've cleaned the lady's room, everyone..."

" Luna, it's fast that you took it from me! " Rayhan was a little upset, but Luna only grinned when reprimanded.

" Sorry sir, Miss must be tired, so let the lady rest first! " Shamelessly, Luna separated their embrace and pulled Kezia into the room.

" Y-you, hemhhh! "

Raditya and Kezia smiled, everyone already understood the character of Luna who was a bit coquettish and always wanted to stick to Kezia. Sometimes, Rayhan likes to be jealous of their closeness.

There were many things that Rayhan wanted to discuss with Kezia, but Raditya gave the code to him to hold back first.

" Luna, it looks like you're getting taller now! "

" Of course! I drink a lot of milk, unlike someone who is addicted to coffee" Luna said. Rayhan's face instantly became grim.

" Ehm, just sometimes. Really, just once in a while! " kilah Rayhan's.

" The last time the stomach acid went up, miss. He even refused to be hospitalized. Dr. Handi and Mr. Radit were upset. "

Kezia crossed paths with sharp eyes. Rayhan was misbehaving and feeling guilty.

" Ehm, it's just an accident, don't listen to the shit, yeah! "

" Hemh, really? "

" Ah, stop. You don't look at me like that. Luna, look out for you! I'll punish you later! " Rayhan turned his eyes to Luna, trying to change the subject.

" Ah, miss... Miss Zia wants to eat what? I'll prepare your favorite meal, miss! " Luna is trying to escape from the responsibility towards Rayhan.

" Anything's okay, as long as you cook, it's good, "

" My cooking skills have evolved a lot. I learned a lot from the chefs here. " Luna puffed out her chest, feeling proud.

" Oh, congratulations to you. Maybe later I can recommend you to be a chef at the Bramasta family restaurant! "

" It's actually , Mona. I already got a recommendation from Chef Jona, he said I could apply at any restaurant I wanted, no one would turn me down! "

" then? "

" It's just that there's someone who doesn't want me to work in a restaurant. He said my cooking was bad, tasteless and tasteless. Not worth serving in a restaurant. You know, miss, when Mr Radit really likes my cooking? "

Raditya and Kezia laughed a little, hearing Luna's speech in contrast to Rayhan who actually continued to have a grim face.

" It seems like Master doesn't want to lose you. It would be very hard to find a person she could be angry with every day, right? "

" I where there is such thinking. It's not good food" elak Rayhan.

" Huh, of course. For sir, other than Miss Kezia's cooking, there's something delicious. Chef Jona was scolded, he said he had to learn to cook again. If there were no Mr. Raditya, all the chefs in this house would have been fired, miss! "

Chef Jona is a very famous, international chef. His cooking skills are well recognized even by the British royal family.

Raditya and Kezia were stupefied, unable to bear Luna's chattering. Only Rayhan continued to have a grim face, he and Luna were like that, always fighting.

They arrived at the door, Kezia opened it and entered.

" You just rest first, free your mind to relax." said Raditya, Kezia just nodded.

" Come, Dad, there's something I want to talk to you about! "

Somewhat pushy, Raditya pulls Rayhan's hand. Although still missing Kezia, Rayhan had to give up this time.

Kezia's life for the past two years, Raditya of course knows, but not with Rayhan. It was Kezia who asked Raditya to keep it a secret. After all, it was also a decision that Kezia had taken on her own. Even though Rayhan knew, he did not dare to interfere in this either.

It was also because Rayhan's upbringing required his children to always be responsible for what he did.

Kezia opened the curtains of her room, looking out to enjoy the twilight.

There was a feeling of tightness that suddenly radiated into his heart. He still can't forget his days with Alan. Although he was trying to look tough, but still, his heart was something that he could not force.

Tired, sad, yes. But if he had to stick with such conditions, then that was foolishness. He could not continue to wish on someone who no longer even cared about him.
