“Please get here aja kak.” Rachel said as Calvin's car arrived at the gate.
“But Brandon sleep.”
“Nothing, I can carry him.” Rachel Sahut.
Calvin could only watch Rachel. He no longer tried to argue Rachel's stubbornness as Ruby had once said. This woman must have been tired and Calvin would not add to her burden.
Calvin goes down first and opens the door for Rachel. Sure enough, the thin woman was holding Brandon whose weight must be very heavy.
“You really don't need my help?” Calvin wanted to make sure.
“No brother thank you.” Rachel. He put his bag around his neck.
“Please, assume you don't see anything today.” Rachel's Message.
Calvin did not react, he did not promise but he did not intend to disappoint Rachel.
“Come in, don't think too much.” Calvin tries to calm Rachel down.
“Thank you brother.” Rachel nodded politely before entering through the sturdy gate of the luxurious house.
Calvin was silent for a while, he looked at Rachel's feet who kept trying to step even though it didn't seem easy. Of course, because he uses high heels so it takes more effort to balance his body. Calvin was still in his place until Rachel actually entered and disappeared behind the gate.
Lazily, Calvin got into the car. He pensively recalled what Rachel had experienced before his eyes. Maybe the woman hid her suffering until she thought that Rachel's marriage must be very happy. She also has a perfect family besides Ruby and Eva.
But in fact, his guess was wrong. Rachel was in a luxurious golden cage and locked away her freedom. Not only that, the woman was also tortured by people who should love her like her own child.
Calvin could only rub his face rough, how could this injustice have happened to Rachel?

“Young lady, let me help.” Said Tuti who immediately greeted Rachel at the door.
“No need to bi, make a bed, I will baringin Brandon. Same please, get some water to compress.” Rachel said as Tuti's hand was about to take over Brandon from his carrier.
“Good non.” Tuti is very obedient. He immediately obeyed Rachel's orders, tidied Brandon's mattress and fetched him some compress water.
Rachel put Brandon in her bed. He looked at a few moments plain face that was sleeping. his fever went down even though it was not at normal temperature.
“Maafin mommy yes Brandon, mommy makes Brandon hear and see what Brandon shouldn't hear and see.” Rachel rubbed Brandon's face with affection. He also kissed Brandon's forehead and placed his head for a while near Brandon's head.
Brandon's body heat is contagious to Rachel.
“This is miss.” Tuti had already come with the compressed water in his hand.
“Still bi, save here aja.” Rachel pulled a round chair for where she put the water container.
“Non have eaten? Want aunt make.” Tawar Tuti who looked at Rachel with worry. He saw the slightly pale face of his young lady.
“No need bi, I want to take care of Brandon first. Aunty please ready first to eat malem yes.”
“Good non.” Tuti nodded obediently.
The waiter immediately returned to the kitchen but when he was at the mouth of the door, he slowed down his steps, precisely when he saw Brams who had come in a hurry.
“Hem, already.” Rachel's voice sounded weak. He scratched something in his pocket but nothing he took out.
“Mamah said, you went to Brandon's school between a man. Who is that man?” ask Brams quickly.
Rachel smiled wryly inwardly at Brams attitude. Instead of asking Brandon, he cared who Rachel came home with.
“Sister should be more worried about Brandon than me. Sister has not even checked the condition of Brandon.” Said Rachel who was smiling crazily.
It sucks the man in front of her.
“I must know first, is it true that you cheated, as my mother Martha said? Is that guy so handsome?” right no, that's all that's in Brams' head.
But wait, apparently Martha had really told Brams what she saw. I don't know what kind of story he made to take down Rachel.
“Where may I cheat on the man I love. Please think clearly sedkit.” Rachel spoke without looking at the man. He focused on compressing Brandon so that his fever immediately dropped.
“But earlier mamah said you were held in equal hands young man. Beware Rachel, that man you should avoid.” Brams said with great determination.
“Thank you for worrying about me.” Just that Rachel's chimpanzee, she had no interest in extending the chatter.
Brams was just stunned. He looked at the beautiful face before him that always managed to make his heart restless.
“I tipped Brandon for a moment brother, I want to put my stuff first.” Rachel said after putting a new compress on Brandon's forehead.
The man looked only at Rachel and as Rachel moved, Brams immediately approached.
“What do you want?” rachel asked as Brams closed Brandon's bedroom door.
“Wait for Rachel, I have to remind you something.” Said the man with a fixed look at Rachel.
“Never be close to another man, I don't like. Don't make me think that you're going to leave Nata and make us unable to see each other again. I will defend you if you drop you in front of Nata but please, give us a chance. Hem?” pinta Brams really.
“What does sister mean? What does sister really think?” Rachel immediately moved away from Brams, the man's gaze too frightening for her.
“I will admit it, yes I will admit it. I like you, and I don't want you to think about other men. Now that you think of Nata, I don't care if I feel sick. But, do not add to the list of men you let adore you. I beg Rachel, just think I'm one of them.” Urai Brams desperately.
Rachel just shook her head in disbelief, how could Brams say this kind of thing to her.
“Sister, I respect brother as my sister-in-law. Please don't think no. Between us there is nothing, so stop thinking about unnecessary things.” Firmly Rachel with a trembling voice. How could this man have distorted thoughts about himself.
“But I can't! I've always imagined you, imagined your figure, your body and everything about you. When I saw you with Nata I was tormented and now you are adding to my torment with other men who like you. Please don't be like this Rachel.”
“PLAK!!” one slap Rachel finally slapped into Brams' face.
No matter which courage it was that made him lay his hands on the man, all he knew was that he had to resuscitate Brams so as not to go further.
Brams no longer spoke, he only bowed with a small smile. He rubbed his cheek that Rachel slapped.
Whether what was on Brams mind right now was clear, Rachel chose to immediately leave this crazy man behind.
