GIRL IN RED
CHAPTERS 315. GO TO THE VILLAGE
“Damn it! Arrgggg! Amanda....you cheap women!” yelled Zivanna who read the trending news on her phone. “I have to see Amanda! What really happened last night? It should be Arimbi who drank the wine that has been laced with stimulant drugs! But why was Reza even there?”
An angry Zivanna immediately picks up her phone to contact her cousin Ruby. “Halo, Zivanna.” greet Ruby when the call is connected.
“Have you seen today's news?” ask Zivanna. The one across there did not immediately answer for a few seconds and then sounded a long sigh.
“I've seen! Both my parents were very angry. What am I supposed to do? Our wedding is next week, Zivanna but Reza betrayed me!”Ruby's sobbing sound was heard.
“Do you still want to marry that jerk?” ask Zivanna.
“I don't know Zi! Why would Reza do that? He used to be in a relationship with Arimbi, now he was caught alone with Amanda in a hotel room?”
“Did Reza call you last night?”
“Yes, no. I called him but he didn't answer my call. And this morning I saw the news of the raid on social media! Zi, what should I do now?”
“You haven't answered my question! Do you still want to marry her?”
“A—I love him! Wedding preparations have been completed just waiting for the day H!”
“I'll find out about this incident! There's a chance they're also framed for screwing up your wedding!” Zivanna.
“Did Reza contact you?” ask Zivanna again.
“Created Zivanna? Who did that?” ask Ruby. “She has not contacted me.”
“Whose do you think?”
“There's only one person I'm thinking about right now. Did he do it?” ask Ruby.
“Can only. I hang up the phone first! You better not go anywhere until this news dims. Just focus on your marriage, I'll find out the truth of it! I won't let that village hick live a quiet life if he did that.”
“Alright, Zivanna! Thank you.”
“You are my cousin! I don't want anyone to ruin my family's reputation and good name.” replied Zivanna then hung up.
‘I have to contact Johan and Gio. I haven't seen them since. Where did they go so early in the morning? Do they know this problem?’ zivanna said in her heart.
At the Rafaldi family home.
In the dining room sat Yadid and Mosha and Amanda who had been silent since last night. He did not know how to explain the incident last night to his parents. If he tells the truth, then it will be discovered if in fact he intends to trap Arimbi and Jordan.
But he's the one who's stuck to his own game. Amanda's mind wandered around trying to recall what happened last night starting from the moment they were in that VIP room.
It was Amanda who ordered everything, she who contacted Jordan and gave him the idea for the dinner because of their company cooperation.
The atmosphere in the dining room was silent and silent, no one spoke. There was only the sound of the clink of the cutlery heard. The servants glanced at Amanda who had lowered her head.
The servants had seen the latest news concerning Amanda, not expecting that the adopted daughter of the Rafaldi family would do such an embarrassing deed.
“You don't have to come to the office today.” said Yadid broke the silence. “Stay at home for a while until this problem subsides. The news has gone viral and the company is having a big problem.”
The middle-aged man spoke without even looking at Amanda. Disappointment after disappointment he felt made him angry but he tried to look calm.
“Maybe it's good for you to visit your family. Reflect on all your actions during there.” said Mosha chimed. “I will contact Pratiwi later to tell him.”
Mosha's words made Amanda think that her mother had cast her out subtly. But he did not want to go to the countryside and stay there with his biological family.
Where could he live in the village? He had been used to living in a city full of all luxuries for over twenty years. Imagining having to go to the village and live with her biological family makes Amanda shudder.
Where will he go for a while? Amanda thought of Gio, surely the man already knew what happened last night. It's so embarrassing, how'd he face Zivanna later? But Amanda didn't think much about what Gio's response was because she didn't have any feelings for the man.
“Bu, I might go on holiday abroad for a few days.” replied Amanda who immediately got a sharp gaze from Mosha.
“What is a vacation abroad that is much more important than spending time with your birth mother and your family in the village? There you can spend time with them.”
“Mosha! Calm yourself. No need to get angry so.” said Yadid who was silent since. Not that he didn't care but he was thinking about something serious.
“Quiet? How can I calm down after today? I can't go out! People will laugh at me and humiliate me for failing to educate my daughter!” mosha was angry.
“Bu, it is better that I go abroad for a while.” Amanda tried to get her adoptive mother's approval because she did not want to go to her biological family's house.
“Why? Are you ashamed of your biological family living in the village? Arimbi grew up there for over twenty years! But she never felt ashamed until now she is still on good terms with your family!” mosha.
“Amanda, what your mother said is true. It would be better if you stay in your family's temporary home. Go to the village! There you can learn many things and get closer to your real family! Consider this an opportunity for you to build a relationship with your family.”, Yadid said.
“Did mom and dad kick me out and not want me in this house anymore?” ask Amanda.
“If we want to expel it, we have done it for a long time. We could have kicked you out when Arimbi came back to this family! But we didn't do that because we still consider you the daughter of the Rafaldi family! But that doesn't mean you cut ties with your biological parents?” said Mosha who was careless to see Amanda.
“What's your problem Amanda? Why is it so hard for you to accept your biological parents? Is it because they're not as rich as the Rafaldi family?” sindir Mosha blatantly.
He could no longer resist venting all the contents of his heart that he had been silent about all this time. All Amanda's treatment of Arimbi and what happened last night is the limit of Mosha's patience with Amanda.
