Love Me Please, Mas Duda
29 - Shady's Tight Shade

*Flashback*

A few years ago...

Rasya's phone rang. A call from his older brother, Raffa.

"Hello, Brother."

"Rash! Help me!"

Raffa's voice sounded panicked.

"What's up, brother?"

"Help me to cancel Nola and Shady's wedding."

"What?!"

"Sister has decided to divorce Vanessa after she gives birth. Brother doesn't have time anymore, Rasya. She loves Nola very much. Please brother!"

Rasya panicked to hear Raffa's voice trembling.

"Where are you?"

"I'm on the road. It's heading for Nola's house."

"......"

"Rash! Helpme! I can't lose Nola! I love her so much! Vanessa ruined all my dreams with Nola."

"......."

"Rash! Answer me!"

"alright. Brother take it easy! I'm going to see Nola right now."

Call ended. Rasya immediately went forward his sport bike to meet Nola.

Arriving at Nola's apartment, Rasya is greeted by the girl.

"Rash! You coming now? My wedding is still tomorrow!" said Nola, who kept smiling.

"Nola! I have something to talk to you about."

"What's wrong? You look very serious." Nola frowned.

"Cancel your marriage to Shady!" exciting Rasya.

"Whatchu mean? Why should I cancel my wedding?"

Rasya is very frustrated at the moment. He rubbed his face. "Shady isn't a good person, you shouldn't marry her!" rasya.

Nola shook her head slowly. "I don't understand what you're talking about!"

Unexpectedly, it turns out that Shady also came to Nola's apartment to invite her to dinner with her family.

"Please listen to me, Nola. Don't marry Shady!" rasya Pinta.

"WHAT!" Shady's voice sounded full of anger.

"What are you doing, huh?! You want to influence Nola? You're really sneaky!" Shady pulls Nola's hand away from Rasya.

"Stop bothering Nola! You're her best friend but like a parasite to her. Let's go!" Shady immediately took Nola away from there and let Rasya who was still pecking there.

Shortly after, the call from the brother re-echoed on Rasya's phone.

"Hello, Brother. I'm..."

"I'm sorry, is this with Raffa Kalendra's family."

"W-yes, whose father? And what's with my brother?"

"Mr Raffa had an accident, and is now in the hospital."

Rasya's phone fell out of his hand. His feet were limp hearing the explanation from the caller. It was the last call from her brother. Last request from her brother. A request that Rasya could not make.

"Sister!"

Clara's voice calls Rasya back from her daydream.

"Yes? What's up?"

"So, I'm done bathing."

The wedding party is over. Now Rasya and Clara live in Rasya's apartment.

"Ah, yes. Then I'll go to the bathroom first." Rasya got up from his seat and headed straight for the bathroom.

Clara looked in wonder at the man who was now her husband. "What's wrong with her? Is he nervous because this is our first night?"

Meanwhile at the Hutama family home, Shady stretched his muscles after a day attending his sister's wedding oesta. Seeing how happy Clara was on her wedding day, Shady suddenly thought about Dea.

Shady recalled how Dea's facial expression was when she had to face a sudden marriage. There was not even a look of happiness on Dea's face back then. There is only shock and sadness for having to accept a contract marriage and become a connecting mother for Naura.

Shady rubbed his face rough. "How could I have done such a cruel thing to Dea?"

A thousand words of apology will not be enough to make up for all his mistakes with Dea. Shady finally closed his eyes by constantly thinking about Dea.

The next day, Shady wakes up faster than usual. Shady heads to Naura's room and bathes her little girl who is awake and playing.

"Papa's son, are you ready to go?" shady asked after putting clothes on for Naura.

"Ciyap, Dad!"

"Good! Let's go meet Oma!" Shady held Naura and walked out of the room.

Shady and Naura meet Nilam who is watering the flowers of his collection in the back garden.

"Geez!" exclaiming Naura.

Nilam turned around and greeted his beloved grandson.

"Eh baby? Lho? So, where are you going early in the morning?" Nilam knitted his two eyebrows. He looked at Shady for an answer.

Shady whispered something into Naura's ear. The little boy immediately cheered happily chattering.

"We're gonna go get Dea's mom!" exclaiming Naura.

Nilam still doesn't understand Naura and Shady's intentions.

"Mom, so here it is. Me and Naura are going to Dea's hometown to pick her up" Shady explained.

Nilam was surprised and happy. "You're serious, Bang?"

Shady nodded. "Yes, Mom. I'll take Naura with me. I'm sure Dea will be devastated if I see Naura."

Smile is getting wider. "You're right, Bang. Dea would definitely not disappoint Naura. Naura loved him very much. Is that right, baby?" Nilam ruffled Naura's hair slowly and then kissed her puffer cheeks.

"Mom, pray brother! May Dea forgive and take my brother back."

Nilam rubbed his son's arm. "As long as you show seriousness and sincerity to Dea, I am sure Dea must have fallen. You ... are really in love with her right? You're not pretending, are you, Bang?"

Shady replied with a smile. What is certain is that Shady's smile is full of meanings that Nilam cannot understand.

"alright. I'll support you. As long as you don't hurt Dea anymore."

Shady hugged Nilam. Trying to find peace in her mother's warm embrace.

"Call brother, ma'am. This time, my brother succeeded."

"Yes, Bang. When are you going to leave?"

"Today too, Mom. Maybe you'll be there for three days or even more. Brother won't be back before he brings Dea to this house again."

Nilam saw the seriousness of his son's face. "alright. I pray you guys manage to persuade Dea. I'm gonna call Clara. He said he was going on his honeymoon to Bali."

Shady nodded then took Naura away to the dining room for breakfast. They had to leave on a full stomach before meeting Dea.

That afternoon, Dea's schedule was pretty tight. Because after teaching, Dea also had to attend a teacher meeting held by the school. Dea is the new teacher. And he had quite the attention and reprimand after the incident that happened with his disciple some time ago.

Dea could not defend herself. And he also didn't want to say anything to those who didn't like him.

Dea returned to her home with a shunt move. Dea meets Arshad when he arrives at the school gate.

"Hey, are you okay? I heard the board of teachers..."

"Already, Doctor. I don't want to talk about anything right now. Excuse me!"

Dea passes through Arshad's body, but the man blocks Dea's arm. "I'll take you home! I beg!" pinta Arshad with a face.

After the incident at the hospital, Arshad still wanted to ask Dea for an explanation about her marital status. Arshad was convinced that Dea was not married. At least that's what the people in the village said.

Arshad drove his car at a moderate speed, because this is a village road. During the journey, only silence accompanied the two of them.

Arshad himself did not want to ask anything before Dea explained. Arshad's car arrives at the front yard of Dea's house.

Arshad frowned seeing that there was another car in Dea's courtyard. While Dea came down casually because he was not yet aware of the situation.

"Thank you again, Doctor. I don't think the doctor needs to do this anymore. Excuse me!"

As soon as he turned around, Dea finally realized that there was something odd.

"Whose car is this?" dea Mumm. His eyes suddenly puffed.

"Mas Shady?" lirih Dea when she saw Shady coming out of her house with Naura.

"Mama!"
