Marry The Heir
Mutually reinforce

The excitement does not only occur in the family room where the first meeting between Arini and his family. Even in the kitchen they still whisper to each other while tidying dinner dishes that are not tasted in the slightest.

At the kitchen table, all meals are complete. Disa and her three friends are still staring at the puzzled number of luxury foods that become stale and may have to throw away.

After Arini's arrival, the dinner never happened. They look awkward to each other and disperse the way, getting into each other's rooms. There is no meaningful conversation because Arini reasoned tired and wanted to rest.

Instantly, the atmosphere became quiet and tense.

“So, how is this? What can we eat?” tanya wati who rubbed her rumbling stomach. At this time they had not eaten dinner because they were waiting for their host to finish eating first.

“You're tense like this, still thinking about eating.” Tina elbowed Wati in annoyance.

“Ya although tense, our stomach is still to be filled. How about na.” The ideal while taking a spoon and want to taste one of the menus.

“PLAK!”

“But a minute!” nina shouted while hitting Wati's hand. “Ask permission first same bu kinar.” Her impression that looked at Wati with annoyance. Sometimes, this one friend could not read the situation.

“Emang bu kinar to where?” Wati put his spoon in force. He wanted to enjoy a special meal that he had made from the afternoon.

“Nyamperin big mistress.” Nina's Brief.

“Which big one?” Tina lowered her voice.

“Large lady young master, mistress arini.” Nina Timpal.

Tina and Wita's mouths were both rounded at Nina's reply.

“Kak, you're the longest here. Have you never met Madame Arini before?”

This time all eyes were on Tina the senior. He has worked for over 5 years in this family. Longest record for a waitress who often easily changed in a matter of months.

“Neg. I don't even know if his mother young master and young lady are different.” Tina slicked her shoulder.

Since coming to this house, he had only known that his master was Mr. Sigit and Lady Liana and his young lady Shafira. It was only recently that he learned that his master had a firstborn son, Kean.

“You do not realize that this family is like a mysterious family in the stories? We do not know who is evil and who is good until one by one family members in this house come and go in a way that is not good.” Nina stared one by one at her friends in turn. It seems in his head is replaying the mystery story of a wealthy family.

“You mean?” Wati with his confused face.

“Yes, one by one family members in this house are coming. We don't really know who our boss is. Perhaps there will be more who come ngaku as the third wife, fourth or fifth master. Keep each other mengjahatin, maki or nyelakain secretly. For example, the brake of his car is made blong or his food is poisoned. Ihhhhh horrified yaa.” Nina shuddered to hear her own story.

They looked at the food in front of them. They looked at each other with fear that Nina's story was true. Imagine if Nina's story was true, then they would be food poisoning first.

Compact they're giggling in fear.

"I still want to live." Step back a few steps from the kitchen table. He couldn't imagine being the first person to come out of the story in a lifeless state. His appetite just disappeared, changing his fear.

“Hush! By the way, I like it not strained. Later buzzing bu kinar, mampus you.” Tina tried to remind her friend.

“Ih right I'm only about aja.” Kill Nina while looking around them, worried that Kinar would hear their conversation.

"Either do not mostly watch soap operas that are mentally affected, can follow your pain." Tina began to give advice.

Nina just nodded her head while occasionally shuddering to imagine that what she said was true.

During the conversation only one person was not involved. It was Disa who had been daydreaming, thinking about the events she saw tonight. So far, he feels that he knows enough about Kean and the family he works with. The habits of each person, the things they like and do not like to how the character of the people in this house.

But as it turns out, not everything Disa knows. His everyday young master was instantly alien to the many unexpected surprises he saw today. Until now, I don't know what else this family secret that has not surfaced.

“I've been suspicious of madam liana and young lord.” Wati started their conversation again. Not satisfied if the story has not flowed according to their minds.

“Surprisingly how?” tina and Nina's voices sounded together.

“Yes, when the young master came home, he was shocked to see the mistress of liana and non-fira. Not only that, young master also kayak who does not like the mistress liana and non-fira. Even as madam Liana greeted the young master as well, the young master did not salim what else was chatting pleasantries. He went straight into his room and locked himself in there. Even the shinar bu that he salimized the same in hugs.” Wati recalls the incident a few months ago.

Tina and nina both nodded at the words of the wati. It seems they are starting to understand the reason the atmosphere of this house does not feel like home.

“Sa, young master never told me if he had a different mother same non fira?” just this time Tina involved Disa in their conversation.

Disa was just speechless, not responding to tina's question.

“Sa! Resa!” exclaim Wati. Disa was still immersed in her daydream until she did not hear the call of her best friend.

“DISA!” tina is louder.

“Hah? Yes?!” Disa gasped at the loud noise. He immediately looked at his three friends who were looking at him sharply.

“You daydream what the hell?” tina asked in an investigation.

“Em, no kok. just,.” Looking at the faces of his three friends who were like they were waiting for an answer. I don't know how he should explain his thoughts to his friends.

“Tau nih daydreaming mulu.” Decak Wati's.

“So tina nanya, young master never told me anything if you were at his house again?” Wati repeated Tina's question.

Disa shook her head slowly. “I just work there. It is not the duty of the young master to tell his personal matter the same as me, right?” lirih Disa's.

“Ya yes. Just a word of grace, you are quite close to the young master. We often go together, eat together. Young master never told you anything?” it seemed that Wati did not believe enough in Disa's answer.

Disa shook her head again. “Ti, do you know who I am and who the young master is? I'm just a waitress who was treated well by my employer but that doesn't mean the young master will tell me about his personal problems as much as I.”

There is a perverse feeling that Disa felt when answering Wati's question. He and Kean were close enough, they even said they were friends. But apparently, there were still too many things he did not know. All this time he only focused on Kean personally without caring about the problems around him. He only helps the visible part, without realizing more invisible things are hidden by his young master.

“Well, we know enough about our employer's problems and we don't need to discuss them. After all we discuss it there is no benefit for us and do not finish them too right?” disa added which made her three friends nod.

They threw each other a glance then smiled faintly. Yes, maybe they know enough.

******

Kean was still in the main house, accompanying the new Arini to lay her body on the bed. He kept holding Arini's hand, which looked thinner than the last time he saw her.

A few months ago, when Kean was forced to go home, Arini's condition looked better than this. His body was slightly contained and his face was not as virulent now.

If Sigit hadn't forced her home with the threat of ignoring Arini's medical expenses, Kean probably wouldn't have left this woman in America.

Nearly 20 years ago, when a fire broke out at the Hardjoyo family's residence, Kean and Arini were among the two survivors. At that time, his grandfather died of serious burns. Kean gets a burn on his back and Arini, worse than that.

The extent of the degree of burns makes most of the skin of his body no longer has a layer of epidermis. Despite several operations, the burn still leaves scars and trauma.

If calculated, more than 6 times Arini do Skin graft or skin transplant. Taking healthy skin from some parts of the body then grafting it on other areas of the skin that are problematic. But the extent of the burn area all over his body, making the next operation stopped. Arini had several times forced to be treated in the ICU room, because of his health condition that often decreased.

He cannot sweat normally. Sometimes it's too cold and sometimes angry and makes it uncomfortable. He also performed surgery on his eyes as well as plastic surgery on the structure of his face and head. But all that effort did not return Arini to the Arini he used to be.

He often experienced tightness due to his troubled throat after the incident. His voice is hoarse and often difficult to make a sound especially when his emotions are unstable.

Kean still can't believe that Arini will make it to this house. Traveling thousands of miles with the condition of his body that is not fine. Somehow Marcel brought Arini home clear for now, he could only thank Arini for arriving safely.

At this moment Kean was still staring at Arini's tired-looking face. Her stiff lips tried to smile looking at her beloved son who looked fine.

“Do you want to eat something? Or maybe someone needs it?” kean asked as he wiped the tears that kept dripping from the corner of Arini's eyes.

The woman shook her head. His lips seemed to be about to speak. “Help mamah leaning.” Parau.

Kean swiftly lifted Arini's body and helped him to lean on the headboard of the bed. Kean sat beside Arini, carrying Arini into his arms and holding her tightly.

“Honey, does papah treat you well?” arini's voice was slow but clearer.

Kean breathed deeply. He tried to choose a sentence so as not to increase the burden of Arini's mind as much as possible.

“All is well mah. Kean can face papah and follow all the will papah.” Ogre Kean, once and then kissed Arini's head.

Arini tightened her grip on Kean's hand. “Sorry, because mama you are forced to follow all papah's will. Doing things you don't like and can't be yourself.” Arini made a regretful voice. Her tears fell back in the corner of her eyes.

“Mah, you don't have to apologize, kean alright. After all kean began to be able to understand papah's wishes. Everyone can still follow suit. Most importantly, healthy people always. Always be next to kean much longer.” Kean tightened his embrace on Arini.

Arini again tried to smile and nodded. “You know son, when you decide to come home here the most feared thing is what if you can't meet you?"

"Mama is afraid to go home in vain and only make you sad."

"But then mamah realized, if the reason for the return of mamah because mamah wants to be next to the son of mama. For that mama must be strong, mama must be able to meet you.”

“Slow, mamah's chest is not crowded anymore. Mamah was cold on the plane but mamah imagine that the one who flew the plane was you, mamah feel very proud."

"With those hopes, you can get here. Seeing the handsome son of mamah in fine condition.” Reveal Arini while rubbing Kean's face.

Kean grabbed Arini's hand and then kissed it gently. “Sorry kean mah. Kean should have solved everything quickly so that kean could meet and accompany mamah again."

"But everything is too difficult. Kean was like being placed in the wilderness without any clue. Kean struggled until finally kean found a little light that accompanied kean steps.” Kean said with regret on his chest.

“Mamah's son is strong and great. Wherever you are, you will always be a strong and independent man. That's why, mamah never hesitate.”

“But for now, being here makes you feel so grateful. Mamah is not afraid that you have to die in this place without the help of oxygen or sophisticated tools like in America. As long as it is near you, mamah will be fine.” Arini who tried to smile again.

“Makasih mah. Thank you for always being there for kean and being the reason for kean being able to do many things.”

Arini nodded and placed her head on the chest of Kean field which she then patted gently. It's a place he misses and always makes him feel better. Happiness could be beside his son, he would not exchange for anything.
