OLEANDER'S OBSESSION
A Warm Family

...“Let's build a family that is warm and full of happiness.” – Joey...

...🌸🌸🌸...

The atmosphere of the luxury VVIP room that Ravi occupied at that time was suddenly gripping. Joey realized, his presence there is really unwanted. Moreover, until now he has not received the blessing of Ravi and Hana. Was his decision to go there to visit wrong?

“Om .. I'm really sorry if you're sassy. I just want to make sure Om's okay, nothing more. I'm just worried about Om's health,” Joey said with a pounding heart.

Ravi. Again his heart suddenly filled and crowded. When his two children did not care about his condition, even he died though, at that time there was also a daughter-in-law who came to see him just to make sure his condition was fine.

“Why have I been blind all this time?!” ravi muttered irritatedly while wiping his wrinkled face rough. His eyes were warming and glazed.

“M-mean, Om?” Joey doesn't understand Ravi's words. Wrinkled forehead. He turned to look at Zea who was by his side at that moment.

At the same time, Hana came closer to her husband. Then she hugged her husband's arm.

“Who are you calling, Om?!!” ravi snapped in a loud and loud voice.

“I am your father-in-law! Don't call Om! But call me Papa!” ravi said with a cry that began to break.

There was no longer any shame and high prestige for the old man. The ego that he had been upholding, immediately disappeared only because of Joey's sincerity which meant nothing to Joey. When all the people Ravi loves stay away from him, why would anyone he hates come closer and worry about him?!

Ravi fell to the floor with a body and eyes of despair. His face flushed with tears that were unceasingly coming out. He fell with his shoulders down. Hana sat down to embrace her husband's body. Even though her husband had done something wrong, she could not accept that her husband had to kneel before the young girl who was her daughter-in-law.

“I'm sorry, sorry for all the crimes I've made so far,” isak Ravi pilu. He threw away all his shame and prestige. His ego had completely vanished unceasingly. “I'm sorry for not welcoming my daughter-in-law to this family. I'm really a lousy father-in-law.”

Joey knelt down in front of Ravi. The girl equated her height with Ravi. He grabs Ravi's right hand with heated, teary eyes. This time, Joey's chest is suddenly tight and twisted. It felt so full that he had trouble breathing.

“Papa .. who passes, let it pass. Let's build a family that is warm and full of happiness. Soon Papa will be a grandfather,” said Joey while holding tightly his father-in-law's right hand.

"You pregnant?!" ravi exclaimed with a face that started to brighten. Though the tears still wet the cheeks.

"Hmm," Joey nodded softly as he gave a smile. "I'm pregnant, Pa."

“Mama,” Joey grabs Hana's right hand. Then he clasped tightly onto the old woman's right hand and held it together into Ravi's hand which he had held since then.

“Thank you for accepting me who is this lowly person. Being part of this great family is truly the most wonderful gift of my life. Thank you for opening the door of my heart to be a part of this family,” Joey said with tears streaming down his cheeks.

“Joey..”.

Ravi and Hana call out the girl's name. The three of them immediately hugged on the floor with a full feeling. The sobbing that sounded was no longer the sobbing of sadness and disappointment, but rather the sobs that were filled with happiness.

Zea, who was in the room, smiled and let out tears. How could a previously notoriously violent family melt and become warm? If he had insisted on banning Joey from visiting Ravi, maybe this good event would not have happened.

“Now I understand, why Om Rain is so crazy about you, Joey,” says Zea quietly while smiling with relief.

Rain stood in front of the door with a breath of breath. He runs to the hospital as he receives a text message from Brown, a Leons member who is ordered to keep Joey at a distance. Rain's eyes were perfectly rounded when he saw the strange scene before his eyes.

“Sayang?” greet Joey as he looked back towards Rain who was walking slowly towards him.

“A-what is this? A-what ... happened?” tanya Rain was astonished and full of curiosity.

“Papa, I hope this is not a charade to destroy my relationship with my wife,” Rain said coldly as he grabbed Joey's body standing by her side. Then he hugged his wife like a lion guarding her.

“Om, it's not as-“

“Honey, quiet. Let me do the talking,” cut Rain firmly in a cold voice.

Ravi stood together with Hana. The two old and wrinkled parents walked closer to Rain. Ravi and Hana's sad face and reddened eyes made Rain very curious. Actually, what the hell is going on? Then why are the three of them hugging like that?

“Son, take Joey home often. Like Joey said, let's build a family that is warm and full of happiness. Papa can't wait to meet Papa's grandson,” said Ravi in a hoarse voice.

Although he was embarrassed to say sorry to the stubborn Rain, he tried to mend the relationship between him and his son using other means.

“Iya. Mama also wants a delicious meal for Joey. Sorry, because all this time Mama never welcomed the daughter-in-law of this family well,” timpal Hana with a curved angle to form a smile on her wrinkled face.

The words of Ravi and Hana successfully made Rain wide. He was really shocked and it was very difficult to accept the events that were in front of his eyes at this moment. How can a tangled thread that has not been straight for decades be suddenly straight and neat? Actually, what's going on?

“Honey,” Joey releases his body from Rain's tight embrace. Then he looked at Rain with a warm gaze and eyes that made anyone melt and melt.

“Despite everything that happened, let's fix all the broken things a long time ago. It never hurts to forget and forgive all the events that have passed,” continued Joey gently.

“Arghhh!!! Not so easy, darling!” Rain refused outright with what Joey had just said.

Right, there's no harm in forgiving and forgetting everything that happened. But, he could not accept the death of his mother who died horribly right in his arms. Even though it was a long time ago, it was indeed as simple as it was to treat an ingrained wound?!

“Come me home!” Rain grabbed Joey's hand and pulled his wife out of the room.

“T-but-“

“Don't make me angry!” snapped Rain with a loud voice.

Without daring to fight back, Joey permission parting with Ravi and Hana to simply force a smile and nod his head to the two old men. Then he passed away following Rain who pulled his hand out of the room.
