Karma Durhaka's Wife
273. Birthday party
Arya is surprised by the arrival of Calista who was already there.
Currently, Calista was seen sitting on a chair beside the middle-aged woman's bed while eating the fruit she had just peeled.
“Why are you here?” arya asked with a frown while looking at Calista.
“Of course visit my boss's wife! What else is it? Meeting time client.” Calista belied lazily.
He then put the peeled orange back in his mouth and chewed it.
Arya then approached the mother and greeted the woman she loved dearly. “How is Mama doing now? Sorry, I can only come now.”
“Mama's condition is much better. Mama thought, you won't come.” Rani clasped her son's hand.
Arya could see if the middle-aged woman really felt uneasy.
“Where may I not come, Ma. From now on, I will always be next to Mama,”, Arya assured her mother. He returned the grasp of the woman who had given birth to him.
“Really?” Rani looked at her son in disbelief.
He then smiled happily and hugged his son while getting a nod. For a while, the mother and son hugged each other letting go of longing.
One week more could only watch the mother lying weakly in the ICU room without being able to talk to each other and commute both ways, more painful than being separated between two different cities.
Arya is very grateful when the mother is aware of the coma and can communicate as usual again.
“You came here not bring anything, Arya?” Calista suddenly asked the origin to decipher the atmosphere full of novelty between the mother and the child.
It makes Arya who has released the embrace of the mother, staring at the woman who looks to be peeling the skin of the apple in the hand.
“What do you mean?” Arya frowned hearing Calista's question as in everyone else who was visiting the patient.
“Yes, Aunt Rani is new. You didn't bring flowers to your mama?” Calista stared briefly at Arya who looked frowned.
“My arrival is enough to make Mama happy more than just getting flowers or fruit from someone.” Arya glanced at the bouquet of flowers and fruit on the room table.
“Say you're stingy. Just got a big project. Even managed to sell one unit of our company's flagship luxury apartment.” Calista told enthusiastically.
“Oh, yes?” Rani, who had been staring at Calista, now turned to look at her son. “Is it true, Darling?” rani asks and gets a nod from her son.
Arya then walks across from her bed, where Calista is peeling apples.
Then Arya took the apples on a plate that had been peeled and cut by Calista.
“Where are you taking it? That's why I accidentally peeled for Aunt Rani.” Calista protested.
“My mom doesn't really like apples because she wants mangoes. You just I'll have that mango.” Arya pointed to the yellow mango fruit that was among the other fruits that Calista brought. “Let you handy already come here.”
Calista flicked his lips, but he took a mango and peeled it for the woman considered to be his future father-in-law.
However, it turns out that it is not Haya Rani who eats, Arya also eats the fruit. In fact, it can be said Rani only ate a few pieces that have been cut into small pieces by Calista.
“That, even you who eat a lot of fruit. Not aunt Rani,” protests Calista recklessly slacking off on Arya. He then tidied up the waste and put it in the trash.
“No. Think of it as an exercise to serve you when you become a wife,” chirped Calista and managed to make Arya choked by the mango she was about to swallow.
“Slow-slow, Darling.” Rani patted her son's shoulder plan.
“Gosh! Do you not feel ashamed? Talk like that in front of my Mama?”
“Why should I be ashamed? I've got blessing.” Calista complained proudly. “Iya, ‘kan, Aunt?” Calista sought allies to defend himself. He then smiled proudly in front of the man.
“It looks like you've gone crazy!” arya shook her head.
“Yes, you're the culprit who has driven me crazy. So, you have to take responsibility,” said Calista did not want to lose. “Let's get married,” continued with a smile, showing a row of white teeth neatly arranged.
“What? Everywhere that proposes it's men, not women, Calista.” Arya is getting angry with Calista. “Why are you so crazy?”
“What should I keep the image in front of you. I behave as I am. Let it be later if we are married, you are not surprised anymore with me like this,” Calista chirped and managed to make Arya widen her eyes.
Calista's words did sound like a joke, but Arya knew that the woman was actually serious with every remark made. He's not a fool who doesn't know if Calista puts his heart on him.
Therefore, He always confirmed to Calista how much he loved his wife. Arya thought, Calista will give up, but it turns out that the woman is still trying to get her heart.
There is something else that makes Arya still want to be friends with Calista even though she knows the woman's feelings for him, which is the nature of the woman who is and always respects her decision.
Calista never forced a will to make her always be with the woman. He appreciates Arya's decision and rejection without feeling angry or upset.
Calista has always been reasonable and can keep a distance from Arya, realizing their status is only as friends.
Aryan's assertion of a status that already has a wife and loves his wife very much, does not make Calista stop to pursue Aryan love.
He really wants to see Arya succeed and is always there for her as a good friend.
Meanwhile, Rani is now aware of the debate of the two young people in front of her that can only stare at a smile. He was happy to see the closeness of the two.
“It looks like it will be exciting and happy if you really become husband and wife,” chirped Rani and made the two people in front of her instantly look at her. “Our house will definitely not be quiet if Calista is there.”
“Mama! Mama's words will make her bigger head,” Arya rebut with an annoyed face.
“Say you envy having no allies here,” Calista pursed her lips.
Seeing that, made Arya increasingly grunt lazy.
"Tante, Calista said goodbye first because he had to go to the salon, to make it look more beautiful later tonight.”
“Where are you going?” rani asked with a curious face.
“To friend's birthday party event. I have to look beautiful, for my prince to fall in love,” Calista replied with an adorable face.
He then turned to look at the man across the bed. “Arya, don't forget later tonight, yes!"
