BEING THE WIFE OF HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW
CHAPTER 32. BACKDROPPING
"You're home, Mom?"
Kian who was standing by the window of the room, turned his body when the sound of the door opened. Rama looked at the wife who greeted him with a smile.
Without saying much the man walked in, kept the bag on the sofa and opened his shirt and hung it. The corner of the man's eyes turned towards the clock on the wall of the room which showed almost midnight.
"Why haven't you slept?" rama asked a little.
"Waiting for Mas to come home" Kian replied.
"Why?" ask Rama again.
Wh why? A question that immediately made Kian aware of his position all along. Yes also. Why did he have to go to such great lengths to endure the sleepiness just to wait for this man to come home. Who is he? He is not his brother nor is he his lover. He is not his wife either. Why did he have to wait for the man to come home? Why was he always worried that the man had not returned?
Isn't his role as a wife and a daughter-in-law in the house just pretend? Yes pretend but why is the longer Kian so often use his feelings and also his own heart?
No. yep…
The sound of a snap of a finger that sounded right in front of Kian's face resuscitated the woman from her daydream. Kian saw the face of Rama who was quite close to him and it made him reflect back a few steps.
"Why you?" rama asked as he passed away to get a towel and go inside the bathroom to clean himself.
The woman immediately held onto her chest. He felt his heart beating very fast. What's the matter? A question that comes to mind. Seeing the face of Rama who was so close to his face made the woman tremble slightly. Not trembling in fear but trembling in shame. Yesembarrassment. Even if he had seen his own face by now, it might have turned red.
He dropped his body on the bed. Sitting there with your mind still drifting somewhere. The image of the sister-in-law's face kept spinning in her mind. And that made her smile a little.
"Lian are you crazy?" said Rama who just came out of the bathroom. The woman looked up and then stood up.
"Hmm, I. I.." Stammering. He was confused as to what to say. His heart rate is not normal.
"So daydreaming, now smile to yourself. You are a strange woman" said Rama. The man immediately climbed onto the bed and began to lay his body there. Kian sat back on the edge of the bed.
"Mas, my grandfather had time to nanya Mas," said Kian suddenly and it managed to make the eyes of Rama who had just closed again open.
"Then? What are you saying?" ask Rama. He got up and sat facing Kian.
"You say that?"
"Hmm" nodded. Rama was silent again.
"Oh yes, I also had time to compress my grandfather because of the hot body," continued Kian.
"Grandfather hot? Didn't you call a doctor?"
"Grandfather won't. He said he just wanted to be compressed. But I gave him medicine too. He slept."
"Oh yes Mas, but honestly yes, actually I was worried about grandfather's condition. His body is weak. So I think if it's still like that in the morning, we should be able to persuade him to go to the hospital."
Rama looked at Kian lekat. At first glance he thought why the nature of the woman in front of him was contrary to the nature of the woman he loved. The woman who is now sitting in front of him who he knows is his legal wife is very fond of the grandfather. But why does he, the woman he loves so much, Safira, hate his grandfather.
"Why Lian?" mummified Rama slowly. Kian.
"Hmm???" ask the woman.
"Why do you love Grandpa so much? Even though our relationship is not established on the basis of likes with likes or wants with wants. Our relationship is established on the basis of arranged marriage or in other words is coercion. Then why do you still love your grandfather when he is the mastermind behind this matchmaking? She's the one who's taken away your exciting future just to be my wife?" ask Rama. He was very curious about the way his wife thought. Kian smiled.
"Mas, from the very beginning of our relationship, I never considered it a compulsion. I always thought that everything that had happened to me was already a destiny that I had to live. I always try to be grateful for all this so that I can get through everything sincerely and calmly. I'm always grateful to have met Grandpa Bimo. I am also very grateful to be a part of this family. I'm so happy," Kian's words stopped for a moment.
"And about Grandpa Bimo. Yes, I am right. I love him so much. I told you before if I always thought everything that happened was destiny. So until now, I had never once thought that Grandpa Bimo was someone who had ruined my future by forcing me to marry his granddaughter. Nah! I never thought that low. Moreover, Grandpa Bimo is very good to me and already considers me as his own grandson. Why should I consider him a stranger? I really love Grandpa Bimo. Even Mas knows? Maybe I will love Grandpa Bimo more than Mas," said Kian ended with a crisp laugh. And it managed to make Rama smile knot.
Now Rama knows if the woman in front of him now does have a very sincere heart for his family. But it does not guarantee that Rama will turn away from the lover of heart and love the woman who has officially become his wife, is not it? To this day, Rama's love and heart belonged to only one Sapphira. And his intention to divorce his wife and marry his lover, never extinct until now. That will remain his top priority at this time. Rama does not care about his wife as much as he does. What Rama only cares about is that he can unite with the lover who has stolen his heart several years ago.
What about Kian? Will she manage to snatch the love of her sister-in-law's husband from her affair?
