EX IS MANTEN!!
Chapter 11's
DISAPPOINTMENT OF CASSANDRA
"Good night everyone, sorry I'm late" Cassandra said, bowing her head.
Even though he is not sure about the real situation. At least he knew that he was late and almost missed dinner together, which is the absolute rule of the Kuncoro family.
"Sit, Son. We're glad you came home safe," said mama Nuri commenting on her smile.
"You know, sister-in-law, we were so worried because you came home late. Poor mama since then she was very anxious and restless waiting for you to come home," chirped Bams who got a sharp glare from Satrio.
"Oh, already.now we're night first. We'll talk about that after dinner" said papa Radit.
After dinner, as usual, they will gather in the family room as usual.
Cassandra and Sofi came in with some snacks such as Marbel balls and roller balls that she had made a few hours ago and some favorite drinks of members of the Kuncoro family.
A little Cassandra already knows the likes of each new family member.
Like Papa Radit who likes to drink black tea is very concentrated with little sugar, which is very, while Mama Nuri and Soni both like to drink goat milk without warm sugar and other family members such as Bams and Dani who really like black coffee without sugar. Sofi was just like Cassandra who drank all kinds of drinks without exception.
Don't ask about Satrio, because of course Cassandra knows all her husband's favorite food and drink.
And that equation is what makes Sofi and Cassandra closer apart from the relationship between the two as brothers-in-law.
Every night they would chat up intimately, telling them what they had been doing all day.
There are times when they talk about heavy topics around business but sometimes they discuss something absurd.
Mama Nuri has more or less the same nature as Bams who sometimes uncontrollable mouth tells something silly that often invites laughter other family members.
They would laugh when Mama Nuri and Bams talked about something absurd that sometimes made no sense.
"Let's put it down, honey. Later let Bik Sumi and the other waiters take care of everything," said Mama Nuri when she saw the daughter-in-law preparing to lift the remaining plates and glasses they used earlier.
"It's okay, Mah, it's not too heavy, either" Cassandra subtly refused.
"Already. Come on, come with Mama. There's something you want to talk to me about." Mama Nuri took Cassandra's arm to the back garden and sat in the gazebo.
"Well, sorry Cassie yes, just after the campus, Cassie did not go straight home and even to Cassie's old boarding house. The initial intention was because of kangen with room and my friend there but uh. even kebablasan," said Cassandra honestly.
Mama Nuri laughed a little at the behavior of her daughter-in-law on this one. The nature of Cassandra is very different from her son, Satrio.
"Yes.. Mama sorryin but next time if you want to go or want to go anywhere, it's good you call the house so we all don't worry if you come home late," said Mama Nuri gave advice.
Cassandra nodded quickly.
"Mama knows your relationship with Satrio is not like husband and wife in general who married for love. But mama is sure and believes that love will come because she is used to it. That taste will grow as time goes on.
Cassandra looked down and silent at the words of her in-laws.
True said mama Nuri if the relationship with Satrio intertwined because of coercion and without love.
No, there is no love because in the bottom of Cassandra's heart there is still love for Satrio who incidentally is a former lover. Even though Satrio hurt his heart.
"Honey..," mama Nuri broke Cassandra's daydream.
"Hemm" he answered briefly.
"Mama really hopes you won't give up on Satrio's cold attitude towards you. I'm sure that sooner or later, Satrio will love you" said Mama Nuri confidently.
Mama Nuri chuckled. Then she told me about the love story between her and her husband, Papa Radit.
"First, mom and dad got married because they were betrothed. We both have no solid foundation in our marriage. But. love is noble growing over time and because it is used to," said mama Nuri laughed at her love story with her husband.
"Excuse me, New. The madam was told to go in with the master," said the Sumi bik who approached them.
"See. You see now, papa is now so in love with mama and does not want to be far away from mama," said mama Nuri laughing loudly.
"Patience and try to take your husband's heart with all the advantages you have. Mama is sure you can definitely re-grow the taste that Satrio once felt for you. Be excited." said mama Nuri encouragingly.
Mama Nuri clasped Cassandra's hand and rubbed the back of her hand.
"Come, let's go in" asked Mama Nuri.
"First off, Cassandra's coming in soon" said Cassandra, smiling at Nuri.
"Alright, Honey. Mama comes in first, don't take too long, you catch a cold." Mama Nuri then moved from her seat and entered the house.
Cassandra thought about everything her in-laws told her. Although he has not received love from his husband, at least he has got a lot of love from other members of the family Kuncoro. And that's enough for Cassandra right now.
After 30 minutes, Cassandra returned to the house and went into her room.
Cassandra hoped Satrio would sleep until she would not get her anger again like that.
To be honest, Cassandra was heartbroken when Satrio steadfastly acted rudely to her, despite the problems she made.
"Huufft. I hope she's asleep." muttered Cassandra and then knocked on her bedroom door quietly.
Cassandra's smile rose when she saw that her room lights were all dead.
Cassandra walked slowly to the bathroom to perform the ritual the night before going to bed. He did not want his steps to wake the sleeping lion.
But when going into the bathroom, suddenly the room lights back on. That made Cassandra shocked to the point of jumping.
Like a thief caught stealing. Cassandra then turned around and sure enough, Satrio was looking at her with a sharp gaze.
Cassandra lowered her head with her hands interlocked. He was ready to hear the words of Satrio who would certainly deafen his ears with his spicy words.
"It seems you already know your mistake" Satrio said to the point.
"Cassandra nodded slowly. Ii'm sorry. It won't happen again, I promise." Cassandra replied in earnest.
"Actually I don't care if you come home at what time or don't even come home at all, but what I care about is mom. I don't like to see my mom as anxious and agitated as before. He would definitely blame himself if something happened to you" Satrio said straightforwardly without a shadow of a swing.
"Hemm" he answered briefly.
Cassandra could not say another word. His tears were ready to plunge freely if he had to say long.
Pain, the right word drawing Cassandra's heart at the moment.
Cassandra went straight into the bathroom without waiting for a reply from Satrio.
It's up to Satrio to say if he doesn't study PKN anymore or doesn't know how to be ethical. Cassandra just doesn't want to if she gets trampled if she looks weak in front of her by crying.
After all the pain in her heart, Cassandra finally came out of the bathroom. Luckily his room light was turned off by Satrio again so he would not see his face because he was crying.
