BEING THE WIFE OF HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW
CHAPTER 8. FIRST DAY AT GRANDPA BIMO'S HOUSE
After passing a few hours in a very long journey and felt very tiring, finally the car driven by Grandpa Bimo and his family had reached the courtyard of their home. I looked at the amazement of the house. A very large house with a very elegant look.
Kian was stunned for a moment to see how luxurious the house was. The courtyard of the house is very spacious, the flower garden is on the side with a fountain in the middle as well as some relaxing chairs and swings there. Not to mention the 2-storey house that when compared to his house may be 3 or 4 times from his house.
"Son," Grandpa Bimo called out to Kian who was still standing next to the car with his mouth slightly open.
"Eh yes Kek," Kian who realized immediately closed his mouth back quickly. Making Grandpa Bimo smile.
"What are you thinking?" ask the grandfather again.
"This...this is grandpa's house?" tanya Kian stuttered so fascinated with the house.
"Yes. This is grandpa's house. And now it's your home too, isn't it? Since you are now officially his wife Rama, so what grandfather has can be yours too."
"But…"
"That's it. Comein. When are you gonna stand here?" said the grandfather while gently rubbing Kian's head.
The girl nodded and finally followed Grandpa Bimo walking into the mansion. And Rama? Don't ask. Already since then he has darted into the house without caring about Kian.
The inside of the house was no less charming with the outside look. Lots of knickknacks made of crystal and Kian sure that all the goods there are original, not pirated.
"Grandfather lives in a house this big by himself?" ask Kian. He wondered how an old man could live in such a big house. Grandpa Bimo smiled.
"Not really. There's Rama, there's a waiter too."
"Ooohhh," Kian replied nodding his head.
"The house was once very crowded. There's my wife, there's both Rama's parents too. But it's a pity that everyone has left and Grandpa lives alone here" said Grandpa Bimo sadly. A second later, he smiled again.
"But grandfather is not worried because soon this house will definitely be back crowded. Aye right?" asked Grandpa Bimo but Kian stared with a puzzled look. Make my grandfather talk again.
"Yes, of course, it will be back in crowds. Now there's you. And maybe in the next few months there'll be a baby screaming and then there'll be a little step for your child, right? Grandfather will always wait for that moment to arrive. Hopefully if that happens, the age of grandfather is still there and grandfather can still hold a lot of grandchildren, Grandpa Bimo said as he chuckled.
He looked at Grandfather with a stern look. His heart ached a little when he heard the desire of the old man before him. He was right, his old age did not guarantee how much longer he would live. But he still had the ambition of holding his grandson, the son of Rama. But how will it happen if he and Rama do not have a legitimate bond either legally or religiously.
***
After having a casual conversation with Grandpa Bimo, Kian went into the room that Grandpa had shown. Kian knew that it must be Rama's private room before the man got married. If you can, actually Kian wants to stay in the other room only. Are there still many empty rooms in the house? But how else? Her role as the wife of Rama makes her have to be willing to share a room with the man.
He began to step his foot into the room. Rama was sitting at his desk typing something on an open laptop screen. The man had already changed into a relaxed outfit again. A shirt and trousers typical of home clothes in general.
Kian walked towards the bed where the big bag containing his clothes was. He immediately opened it and moved all of its contents into the empty wardrobe. Maybe Rama deliberately emptied his wardrobe for him to fill.
"Ah but where is possible. At least Grandpa Bimo told his servant to prepare all of this" Kian thought.
While cleaning everything up, Kian occasionally glanced towards Rama sitting down. The man still continues to focus on his laptop even the movements made by Kian since earlier, in fact does not make himself disturbed. Or maybe the guy doesn't care. There was a question in Kian's mind about what the man was doing. He was thinking whether a CEO of a well-known company did not have marriage leave. Until one day after the wedding, he was immediately preoccupied with his work again. Hmm if it is like that for Kian it feels really boring.
Actually little heart Kian really wanted to talk to Rama. Talk casually and without going in any direction. They don't know each other right, do they? But if the man's behavior was always so indifferent, how could he chat with Rama. Just saying one word, the man's hand had been raised gesturing for him to be silent. What would be wrong if they talked? If it continues like this, the man should marry a robot only. Who always follows what he tells.
He sat down next to the bed and looked at Rama. Then his mind was monologuing again.
"No Kian. You can't let something like this keep happening. How long will you keep quiet like this? How long are you and she gonna say hello to each other like this? Come on, you guys aren't some unstable teenager who's on the rise when there's a problem. You are a couple. Uh, I mean, you guys in the eyes of the world are a couple. So what's wrong with you guys talking. If indeed this relationship can be said to be very lightning and unexpected, then why don't you start from the beginning. As a friend, maybe."
He cleared his throat and then got up from his seat. With a strong determination this woman began to walk closer to Rama.
"Hmm Mama…."
Just calling his name, Rama's hand was raised upwards as usual. And Kian, he whose initial intention was passionate turned out his guts just shrunk as the man gave him a signal to stop.
"Aaaahhh, why is reality not as easy as we think," Kian wrote.
