Love Me Please, Mas Duda
15 - The Kalendra Family

Rasya is preparing to leave for college. He was looking at himself in front of the mirror. This time he only wears a shirt and cloth pants without a suit. He thinks it is too formal if a lecturer wears a suit.

A thin smile that is difficult to interpret is slanted from his lips when he remembers himself who sent a message with Dea. He glanced at the photo on his desk. Same photo as the one in Shady's house.

After making sure that he was ready to leave, Rasya immediately grabbed his bag. Suddenly his phone rang. Her name is on her phone screen. He swiftly answered the call.

"Hello, Ma..."

"Om Rasya! When to go home? Vano kangen the same Om!" A typical small child's cry echoed in his ears.

She could have guessed that her mother would do this. A way for Rasya to come to the main house.

"Yes, honey. Om will surely come. If Om's work is done."

"God!" Now it was the turn of the mother's voice that sounded. "You have time this morning, right? Just come by the house for a minute. Vano misses you so much. Mama misses too."

Rasya let out his breath. "alright. I'll be there."

"Now, Shay! Not later! You also have breakfast here. You sure haven't eaten, have you?"

"Yes, Ma. Rasya will be there now."

"Assyc! Rasya wants to come here, Oma. Yeay yeay yeay!"

There was a funny conversation from across there. Rasya turned off the call and immediately headed to his family's main residence.

It didn't take long, Rasya arrived at the main house and was greeted by his cute niece.

"Om Rasya!" Vano, a 5-year-old boy, hugged his uncle.

"Hmm, dear Vano. Is Vano not in school today?" rasha asked as she lightly ruffled Vano's hair.

"No, Om. Today my mom wants to go home!" replied the little boy in his cute style.

Rasya looked directly at his mother who was standing not far from him.

"We talked after breakfast" said Diana, Rasya's mother.

After breakfast, Diana invites Rasya to talk in the living room.

"What's up, Ma? Why did Vano say that his mother was coming home? Is that woman coming back here?" Rasya's tone implied dislike.

"Yes, Son. Vanessa will be back today. And mama asked you to pick her up at the airport."

"WHAT?!"

"Darling, however, Vanessa is Vano's biological mother. Mama heard she wants to make a career in Indonesia. That's why he decided to come back and stay with us."

Rasya who did not want to make Diana disappointed, finally agreed to the request of the woman who had given birth to him to that world.

"alright. What time does the plane arrive?" ask Rasya.

"This jiang. Please take the time to pick up Vanessa."

Rasya. Although he did not like the idea of his mother, but Rasya still did the orders of the mother. It was his service as the only son in the Kalendra family after his brother died.

Arriving at the airport, Rasya sat in the waiting room while playing his phone. He had to rearrange his schedule today due to chaos due to his mother's request.

A beautiful woman walked gracefully towards where Rasya was sitting. It seemed like Rasya had yet to notice the presence of the beautiful woman.

"No need to be stale. Come fast!" Rasya immediately walked towards the exit of the airport.

"Ck, sister-in-law! You're still being cold to me. Can't it be softer, hmm?"

"I came here because of my mother's request. If it wasn't for him, where would I pick you up!" ketus Rasia.

The beautiful woman named Vanessa could only roll her eyeballs lazily. She lived in Paris for a career as a model. But now he decided to return and a career in the country.

Vanessa followed Rasya's broad steps. Eventually they stopped in the parking lot and started entering Rasya's car.

"Well, your car is very nice, sister-in-law. You must have been a successful young lecturer to the point of buying an expensive car like this." Vanessa looked around the interior of the car which she thought was amazing.

Rasya didn't talk about Vanessa. He just drove his car at a moderate speed until it was quite fast. He did not want to linger with the woman who was the wife of his late brother, Raffa.

Feeling neglected, Vanessa did not stay silent. He continued to invite Rasya to chat even though none of his stories were responded to by Rasya.

"Rasya, why did you choose to remain a lecturer? Why don't you just focus on your papa company?"

Rasya was silent. He was tired of this woman. Until finally Rasya pulled her car off the roadside.

"Lho's? The rasya? Why stop here? Our house is still a few blocks away."

Rasya stared at Vanessa.

"Why is Brother back? Brother has been gone for three years and now brother is back? What's for?" rasya exclaimed, which surprised Vanessa.

"Rash! Keep your voice down! I'm not deaf!" timpal Vanessa is upset with his sister-in-law's attitude.

"Look, you don't have to pretend in front of me! I know who you really are!" point at Rasya with a flash of anger there.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you think I don't know all your cunning past deeds? I know everything! You purposely set up my brother to sleep with you!"

"Well?!" Vanessa's eyes are perfectly rounded. He could not believe that his brother-in-law knew of the events in his past.

"You set him up! But the truth .. The person you want to trap is Shady! Don't you? You gave her a stimulant so you could have Shady in a sneaky way. But you failed! And even my brother has to be the victim!" Rasya expressed all his frustration towards the woman his sister had to marry.

Vanessa just shut up. Everything Rasya said was true. And he can't dodge.

"If my brother had not met you and been your victim, he would still be alive! You killed him! You killed him!" yell Rasya.

"Stop! Enough's enough!" It was Vanessa's turn to scream. Her reddened eyes held back her cries and anger. The sister-in-law had already crossed her limit.

"I'll admit that I did trap Raffa! But that's not my wish! It was her fault that she took the medicine."

"Suckers! You can still blame my brother, huh! That stupid fellow of yours who took my brother to your hotel room! If only you could see who the man brought into your room was, then my brother would not have experienced anything like this. You've ruined him!"

"No! You have no right to blame me! He forced me to serve him. And I never expected to sleep with her either! I was just expecting Shady! Just Shady!" Vanessa's breath stinged after evaporating all her emotions.

Rasya smiled bitterly at Vanessa's confession. During this time his sister's wife never loved her brother and only mentioned the name of another man in his heart.

"It's all because of that woman! Raffa's accident was karma for him. Do you know what? When I was pregnant, she said she would divorce me after I gave birth and would go back to chasing that woman's love! That was karma for him!" exclaiming Vanessa while sobbing. He beat his chest which felt tight. He had just returned to his homeland, but had to be faced with an unpleasant situation like this.

"And your mother!" continued Vanessa. "Do you know what your mother said when she found out I was pregnant with Raffa's child? He said if the baby I was carrying could not be Raffa's child. But the son of the man who pays me every night. My heart hurts to hear it! Your mother thinks of me as a pel@cur! Once he said that when clearly Raffa admitted his mistake and he was willing to take responsibility."

Rasya remained silent. His hatred for the woman he thought had eliminated his brother began to erode after hearing the poignant story he revealed.

"It wasn't me who caused Raffa's accident. He alone paid for his mistake. That was karma for him. He left me and chose that woman! He wants to see her. Butwhat? His car had an accident. And he could never meet Nola!" A grin rose on Vanessa's lips that were trembling as it held back the crying. He was blamed enough for what happened. For years he never spoke, and now he has to admit everything in front of his sister-in-law. Although it's too late.
