Love Affair
PART 25'S

The sun was shining so hot that day. His pale white skin was burning.

"What are you doing?" defin asked Raya when he saw the woman lying on the poolside lounge chair.

Raya opened her eyes and snorted in annoyance, her activities interrupted by Defin's rant.

"How long have I not taken vitamin D for my skin."

With the knowledge of the Kingdom of sunlight is very good for skin health and boosts immunity. Being in the hospital for two weeks makes his body feel stiff and his skin pale.

"What time do you think it's. It's not vitamin D you'll get but your skin will burn."

"That's because you didn't wake me up early."

"I'm only in charge of security, not being a baby sister. If asked to choose I would rather do a boring job in the office than have to accompany you here."

"I didn't ask to be accompanied either. Just too much of a woo."

"Not exaggerated, he had his reasons. His business partner is trying to find his weak point."

Raya frowned and looked at Defin.

"So Bayu gave me this villa to keep me hidden, did he?"

Defin poked his shoulder and switched to sitting on the edge of the pool. He felt that was not the reason Bayu brought Raya here. More precisely Bayu wants Raya to be able to quickly recover without having to think about the affairs out there.

"When his wife met me at the hospital. One thing he certainly did to make it appear that all was in good order and in control."

"It was also Bayu's order. They have to do that to make you look like a good, loving child to your family."

Raya smiles here hearing Defin's words, "I've read all the news, it's very easy to destroy the honor of people like them."

"Then are you satisfied with what you got?" ask Defin

Raya got up from her original position and sat down beside Defin.

"Happy?" Raya smiled

"Sure, I haven't even started yet. I haven't got anything yet, a villa like this I can also buy it with my own money. Although, it takes a few months of course. So this cannot be said as a satisfaction" said Raya who was swinging her legs in the water.

"What is your main goal. Of love? Power? Or revenge?"

Defin is starting to get interested in this. According to him Raya is a person who is good at covering everything and endangering, at least that's how she felt all along.

"That question is for yourself or for you to report to your Master?"

"You can answer or not that's not a problem for me. "

"If that's what you have in mind. Which one will I choose?"

"Hmm. I don't know maybe love. You grew up in a happy family at first but it's all gone."

Raya laughed out loud. However, Defin knew that laughter was not happiness or laughter because of a joke.

"We'll see if the answer is correct."

"Don't go too far while you yourself don't know what's at the end of the road."

Kingdom plunged into the pool and drowned its entire body for a while. Then back to the surface.

It is approaching Defin. "Because I don't know, so I tried. I once chose to be silent and not to step on my feet but a suffering I had. Whether it's a flower garden or a ravine I meet at the end of that road, I'll keep going."

"Whatever you'll meet down that road, there'll be regret. You know why?"

Raya frowned, staring at Defin questioningly.

"Because of every trip you take. Unknowingly you hurt others and worse you hurt yourself."

The silence did not budge. Raya walked up to the pool stairs and climbed to the surface. Then take his pajamas and put them on.

Before leaving Raya looked back at Defin with a smile.

"I'll wait for that regret."

Defin exhaled his breath slowly seeing the back of Kingdom disappear entering the villa.

He won't get anything at the end of the road. Inner Defin

...🌟🌟🌟...

After feeling recovered from the injury he experienced, Raya chose to return to live in Bayu's house.

All at the request of Bayu. According to him, if Raya lives separately with him, it will make it difficult for supervision.

Raya accepts all of that happily with Bayu's request will make it easier for her to achieve her goal.

Now they are gathered in the back garden. Raya busies herself by reading a novel on her phone and occasionally steals a glance towards Bayu who is focusing on her laptop. As their eyes met each other, Raya teased him continuously.

Bayu smiled and shook his head, seeing the behavior of his lover who was now more courageous to vent his feelings.

They're waiting for Randra's arrival. Tessa purposely gathers them all together to discuss their family matters.

About thirty minutes waiting for Randra to come still wearing his formal clothes.

Raya stared in admiration at her brother, very different from his behavior.

"Don't look at me like that. Like never seeing a handsome man alone" Randra chirped as she watched Raya stare in admiration at him.

She disagrees with Randra's statement.

"Hmm. yes handsome in the view of the keyhole," said Raya meledek.

"You should be grateful to be able to enjoy this look at all times."

Tessa puts fashion magazine on the table. Then ordered Randra to sit down and listen to what she was going to say at this time.

"What's the matter, Ma? Why all of a sudden Mama wants me to go home, but I want to dinner with an important client tonight."

"It won't be long, you can leave after this talk is over." Tessa crossed her legs and looked at Bayu who was still reluctant to take her eyes off the laptop.

Aware of being the center of attention, Bayu put his laptop that was still on right next to him.

"Randra, there's one thing you should know. Papa you have another woman and she's crazy about her mistress."

"Don't you joke, what is all this? You guys are planning to prank me."

"This is what really happened, this man you have always respected is nothing more than a traitor!"

"I have a reason, Tessa!" Bayu raised his voice

"There's no reason for infidelity! I've tried my best to be your wife but what I got. A betrayal!"

"Enough, Tessa. Didn't we agree today to tell them this so that we can both keep this a secret not to fight with each other."

Randra just fell silent. Raya stuck out her hand stroking her brother's back.

Guilt began to take hold of his soul. Maybe he can be ruthless and not feel guilty before Tessa but, when he sees Randra hurt like this. His heart was broken too.

"Pa, what does Papa really want from that woman? Why does Papa have to be like this?"

Randra continues to demand the assessment of the man who has been his benchmark and role model.

"You have always been happy. I've never even seen a fight in this family. Pa, please leave the woman and go back to Mama."

Bayu did not answer his son's question. Because he was well aware that this was a big mistake.

"Just an apology you can give."

"Don't expect something he obviously can't do, Randra. He'll never leave that stash."

"Tessa, stop blaming the woman. I'm the guilty one, I want this kind of relationship."

"Father!" Randra growled furiously. Randra is very upset at his Papa who easily protects his mistress in the presence of his wife and child.

"I understand and will try to understand Papa, if Papa is interested in younger and beautiful women. But, please don't defend that bitch in front of Mama!"

Raya gripped Randra's arm with all her might, trying to calm Randra down. A great quarrel will occur if Randra raises his voice in front of Bayu.

"Sister, relax. Let's hear Om Bayu's explanation."

"explanation? What you want to explain, you see the Papa that we have always respected turns out to save a big lie."

Tessa was silent. Raya glanced at a glance, clearly Tessa held back her tears from falling.

"Have it stopped, Randra. We shouldn't have discussed this further. Mama called you here, just wanted you to ignore and argue if there is a media that tells about the rift between Mama and Papa. You also know what the consequences are, not only Papa and Mama's company will be problematic but so will your newly developed company."

Tessa accosted Randra with teary eyes. Then, the gaze turned back to Raya.

"And for you Kingdom, the accident is the last and do not repeat it again. You already know, because of the accident the media knew that you were Aunt's niece. From now on everything you do will be the center of attention."

"Yes, Raya will remember that."

"One more thing, tomorrow there will be one person in charge of guarding and preventing you from acting out of bounds."

He was surprised and confused. He glanced towards Bayu. However, Bayu also looks surprised and does not understand what Tessa said.

"Tante, Raya doesn't think it's necessary. The promise won't make any more trouble." Raya stared pleading with Tessa.

"Raya, it seems you don't understand very well now who you live with. Leave all the habits of life alone, from now on you should be able to keep the good name of the family Om and Aunt."

"But Raya is not comfortable if there are people who continue to monitor the activities of Raya at all times."

Tessa got up from her seat, "All Aunt decided, you can't refuse. Comfortable or not, you have to get used to it. One more lest others know more about your past."

Then Tessa went into the house. Leaving Raya is not accepted by the decision that from tomorrow all his activities are monitored and Randra who still can not accept that his parents who have chosen to walk each even live together just for a formality.

"Pa, did I never think of you as a child?"

That question suddenly disperse Raya's daydream.

"Sister, stop it. Don't make Om angry" said Raya half-whispering

"I was the first to want you to be my son. I even continued to persuade Tessa to agree to the adoption process back then. Since then everything you ever wanted I've given you. How can I say that I don't think of you as a child."

"Then why did Papa betray, Mama."

"I can't give you an answer."

"Alright, as long as Papa still chooses to continue with the woman. I'll never set foot in this house."

Randra leaves Bayu and Raya. A loud noise was heard inside the main house. The servants ran over to Randra who was venturing into his anger.

"Why don't you answer?" tanya Raya to Bayu

"What should I answer. Do you want me to say that I love you?"

"That's not what I mean, you can give me another reason."

Raya snorted in annoyance and ran after Rndra who had entered her car. Raya called her name repeatedly but ignored it.

Randra's car is out the gate. "He went with the driver, no need to chase after him."

Defin approached Raya and stood in front of her.

"Give me the keys to your car" Raya told Defin

"Don't pretend to be an angel, Raya. Isn't this what you wanted. After chasing after him what do you want to do? admit that you're the source of this?"

Raya stared intently at Defin. He was aware that this was the result of his actions but really he wanted to calm Radra down at a time like this.

"Other times, you should be polite in front of me. I'm also one of the people you should respect in this house."

"Go back to your room right now. Who I want to respect is my own decision!"

"Raya," Raya turned her head as Bayu called her name.

"What Defin says is true. Right now you just need to go back to your room. There's nothing you can do right now, let Randra calm his mind."

Raya stepped closer towards Bayu, "But, I have to meet him."

"Raya, go back to your room now!" commandment Bayu

"Did you not give me freedom now or did you give your wife an idea to have someone watch over me?" Raya passed leaving Bayu who called his name several times to give an explanation.
