Currently Caitlyn and Lean are traveling to Rendi's house in a slum not far from the city. It took only fifteen minutes, they arrived and only the two of them were accompanied by several bodyguards.
Hadya herself did not come because she had other affairs. The middle-aged man was busying himself with matters concerning his divorce with Sania. As a result, he only let his son and daughter-in-law go with a strict escort.
Lean herself didn't want to go there. He doesn't like dirty places like that. However, what else if Caitlyn really wants to go there. Inevitably, like not liking, Lean had to go there. For her now, Caitlyn's happiness is her priority.
“Why is his face like that?” ask Caitlyn to her husband.
Currently the car is entering narrow footpaths that are hollow and filled with small puddles along the road. Lean continued to curse in her heart because she did not want to make Caitlyn disappointed.
“It's okay, Honey.” Lean replied with a forced smile.
Caitlyn knew if the man did not like the places they were visiting at the moment. Moreover, their car became the center of attention like this, a thing that Lean did not like at all. However, Caitlyn let it go as if she wanted to torture and prank her husband.
However, as the car gets deeper through the footpath there, Lean suddenly orders the driver to stop the car.
“Why else, anyway, Al?” ask Caitlyn again.
Lean did not answer. The man instantly opened the door and exited, ignoring the many pairs of eyes that were staring at him back then. Caitlyn felt astonished and confused half to death as Lean circled the car and opened the door for her.
As soon as Caitlyn got out, all the bodyguards who were in the car behind rushed out and did their main job, guarding and protecting the young miss of the Sanjaya family.
Lean Langung clasped Caitlyn's hand tightly and was about to lead her to walk, but Caitlyn prevented.
“Jelasin first why should we walk? Don't you not like people like this?” Speak while his eyes glanced left and right.
“The roads here are not good, dear. Did you forget you were pregnant?” Lean's words immediately resuscitated Caitlyn.
“Sorry, Honey,” his great-grandson and followed by a grin.
Lean shook her head and gently pulled back her hand and walked down the narrow path. Along the way they became the center of attention of course.
“You're okay with the conditions here?” caitlyn asked half a whisper.
“Originally you are happy, all that can be arranged and discussed later,” Lean said without turning her head.
The man was too focused on the road in front of him. Inwardly he was not exhausted thinking how could the people there survive under such circumstances?
“Thank you, Darling. You're getting sweeter like this,” joked Caitlyn but really Lean doesn't want to joke this time.
They continued to walk in the company of several parents and young people who recognized Caitlyn. The pregnant woman took the time to say hello back but Lean did not want to stop for a moment.
“Lewat here, Darling!” point to Caitlyn because Lean has never been there and she has no idea with the terrain there.
Lean followed and did not want to stop her steps. He did not want to make room for his wife to greet more people. He continued walking until they arrived at the small house of Caitlyn's adoptive father, which no longer existed.
Until there, Rendi had been waiting for them because Caitlyn herself had already informed them if they were going there. He did not want Lean to arrive in a dirty house. Although Caitlyn knew that Lean still would not be comfortable seeing the condition of her house, but she wanted to at least look clean and tidy.
“Hai, Brother,” greet Caitlyn when you see Rendi standing in front of the door.
“Hai, Ly. I think it's really happy this morning?” Rendi says hello. The man stepped out and shook hands with Lean.
“Bless dong, Brother. Can set foot in this house again .. I'm very happy,” Caitlyn replied.
The woman stepped in and circulated her gaze staring at the entire small house with a longing feeling. Suddenly she was crying because nothing had changed since three years ago. The house remains the same. Torn out sofa, dirty walls, paint that begins to fade and peel off, a table of wood that begins to brittle eaten by termites.
Ah, Caitlyn misses this atmosphere too much. He looked at the corner of the old sofa there. Every night he would sit there. Studying while waiting for his father to go home to sell and bring a box of sweet martabak for him. On the sofa, Caitlyn often falls asleep there and her father takes her into the room.
Lean, who had been reluctant to enter and just stood outside, suddenly barged in when she and Rendi heard a little prank from inside.
“Darling, what's up? Why crying? Is anyone sick?” Lean looked panicked.
His wife shook her head. “I miss dad.”
Lean hugged and calmed him down. It took a few minutes for the pregnant woman to calm down. The bodyguard was quick to give aqua because Lean had anticipated this before. Oh, stand by him now. Lean was relieved that his wife was no longer sad.
Now it's Rendi's turn to feel bad because Lean clearly refuses to just sit and tell stories. The man was really uncomfortable to express in that cramped and dirty place.
So my wife used to live in a place like this?
“Ren,” call Lean.
“Iya, Sir?” sahut Rendi fast.
“You seriously don't want to move from here?” lean asked while spreading his gaze.
“Not at all, Sir!” answer Rendi firmly.
Lean nodded. “If drenov, want not?” Again the handsome man asked at once offered.
Rendi still seemed to think, but not long after that she answered steadily.
“You only, Sir. But not for now, let it be later. For now, I want to enjoy the atmosphere that makes me remember my father. This seedy atmosphere presents the figure of a father to me.” The answer left Lean speechless.
Actually I also maintain this so that the expectations of the great master can one day be realized. Hopefully that day will come soon.
Inner Rendi. Yes, in addition to the reasons above, he also has another reason for it. Not long after that, some of the bodyguards brought the lunchbox and cake his wife had made for Rendi.
In addition there are also some food ingredients and other Rendi needs.
“Why bother everything, Mister?” The rendition felt more and more unwell.
“It's okay, Brother. It was not my husband who prepared it but myself. Eaten up, yeah. Don't throw! And other needs should also be accepted!” threaten Caitlyn with a joke.
Why did I hate a girl as good as her? It is fitting that my father loved her so much ....
“Kak,” reprimand Caitlyn saw the dreamy Rendi.
“Ah, yes. I definitely accept it and will spend it with pleasure, young Miss Sanjaya.” Rendi followed Caitlyn who was joking.
“Kak Ren ...” Caitlyn's whimper who doesn't like to be called that.
Rendi and Lean laughed at Caitlyn's attitude. Not long after, the couple returned home because Lean was no longer comfortable.
Rendi took them to the car. After the couple's departure, Rendi returned home happy. However, the happiness was instantly gone when he entered the house and it turned out that someone was already there, waiting for him.
“Halo, Rendi ..”
