My ex-Ipar Candidate
Mama Why? (Piercing)
"What's wrong with him, Win?"
Just now that Windy had come, Gian had already demanded it with various questions. The man really can't be patient, not even Windy checked Radha in the least.
"Patience, Gian, it all takes time."
Little wonder, why Gian was so worried about the teenage girl who was in front of him. Is it possible that Gian wasn't joking about what he said over the phone earlier? But it feels impossible, Radha is too small to say Gian's wife, Inner Windy tries to calm down.
"How's it?"
"Propay God!! I was just about to check on him."
Gian's annoying nature is still the same, the man even demands Windy who has not done anything at all.
Gian momentarily fell silent, choosing to sit beside Radha's body. As he remembered his little wife was fine before he worked. So why now the owner of the beautiful mane is drooping limp.
With the professionals, Windy checked Radha's situation. He breathed a sigh of relief, nothing to worry about. The boy was fine, even very good.
"You don't have to worry, he's just exhausted."
The man was relieved, but of course he wanted to confirm further what happened to Radha.
"Fatigue? You sure that's it, Win?"
A nod to Windy and a smile full of calm that did not make Gian satisfied, he was worried if there would be anything with Radha. Indeed they are from a long journey, and he does not want anything wrong with Radha.
"Yes, Gian, he just needs a break. You see his finger looks red, is he done with something?"
Gian's jaw was hardened, really brash. His guess is right, Radha is like this because the work of his teacher who gave so many tasks.
"Then how?"
"You take it easy, I'll give him vitamins so that his endurance is stable again. And you just make sure he gets some rest and eats right" explains Windy so meticulously to his best friend.
"All right, thank you and go."
The smile that was painted on Windy's face suddenly faded when he heard Gian's words that were completely arbitrary. Even without looking at him and instead focus on the beautiful face of his wife.
"Wait for what else, Win? You want some money?"
"Issh is a brash base."
Windy's pissing, not for the money. He was only annoyed by Gian's actions which now just drove him out. After forcing him to come now with as he pleases Gian asked him to leave.
"Ck, you freak."
Gian doesn't care how Windy's pouting face looks. All he cared about was Radha's situation, grateful that the girl was okay.
For now he let Radha fall asleep, the man took the initiative to tidy up his wife's books. He pulled the corner of his lips while glancing at Radha through the tail of his eyes.

Windy came down with an unusual step, stomping his feet at will without realizing that this was not Gian's Apartment, but the main house.
"Windy?"
"Geez, Auntie," said Windy biting her lower lip, the presence of Jelita looking at him questioningly made Windy feel guilty.
"What's wrong with you?" jelita looked at Windy's panicked face.
"Ah no, Auntie, I'm just too happy."
He said, of course Windy was afraid Jelita would feel offended. But this is not his fault, Gianlah who makes trouble.
"Have you eaten?"
The beautiful woman shook her head briefly, she was relieved to hear Jelita's question. At least he can make sure that Jelita does not mind his actions.
"Eat, dear .. there ask Layla yes, Auntie wants to go to Gian's room."
Not a strange thing, for Jelita whoever Gian's best friend is his son too. He gave Windy the freedom to feel comfortable in his residence.
"Yes, Aunt."
Doubtful, but Windy won't be able to hold on much longer. His gaze said he did not want Jelita to pass before his question was answered.
"Hem, why?"
Jelita stopped her steps, it was clear Windy kept a lot of questions.
"Ehm, the girl in Gian's room ... Who?"
Alas Jelita guessed, Windy would ask this. A little hesitant, he is afraid that Gian is actually saying the no-no about Radha.
"Oh that .. her name is Radha, aunt's daughter-in-law."
Jleb
Jelita's answer succeeded in making Windy buyak, what Gian said was in fact not bragging. Wife? But when, didn't Gian have no relationship with any woman after the breakup with her lover, thought Windy still wondering.
"Me-my-law?"
"He'em, Auntie hope you don't spread what you know, Windy."
He passed after giving affirmation to Windy, knowing full well that the answer would make Windy flabbergasted. Because Gian's marriage is closed, not to mention this is all because of an accident that is not desired by every family.
After Jelita's death, Windy is now silent while wailing in concern. Why so quickly, his heart was choked, his breath was held back and that nanar gaze turned heartily, crazily hopeless.
No, he wouldn't be able to eat under these circumstances. Windy chooses to leave without waiting for Jelita to return. His appetite suddenly disappeared, he just wanted to leave quietly.

"Gian?"
"Geez Mama!!"
Gian got up from his bed, surprised when Jelita suddenly entered without knocking on the door first.
"What are you doing?"
"Th-no, Mama why don't you knock on the door first?"
Jelita chuckled, her son trying to run away from reality. Obviously he saw Gian accompanying Radha who was resting, but his son was so panicked when he entered and looked at him in such a state.
"Is he okay?"
Just like Gian, Jelita was worried too. Since the arrival of Windy, he had suspected Radha was not okay.
"No, this boy is just exhausted."
He pulled the corner of his lips, even his son called Radha by that call. Though clearly he was staring at how soft Gian was just a moment ago.
"Thank God,"
"If he wakes up, you eat. Since then he's just focused on his PR, Gi."
"What?!! Haven't eaten?"
Jelita nodded, Gian's fierce face now visible. He understood that his son would soon go berserk and blame everything for this ignorance.
"Mama how? See...jeez, it's only natural that he gets sick. Didn't Mama ask for it? Or forced?"
The demanding questions with a million panics left Jelita running out of words. He asked Radha to eat and stopped for a moment. Even he brought warm milk so that Radha was not too weak, but it could be seen that the milk was still there without any reduction.
"Gian, you calm down, honey."
"Quiet how? What if he gets sick? Oh Mama ...."
The man pinched the base of his nose, his head began to feel dizzy. Unconsciously she was now in the fog, and Jelita of course smiled victorious. For him this is a good thing and should not be confused.
"Mama why?" asked Gian realized Jelita did not stop smiling since then, he really felt his mother was strange.
"Mama?"
The two stared towards the voice in unison, that enthusiastic yet worried face still overpowered the two.
