Revenge And Desire of The Mafia
133. New Life

Ilena arrived at Ngurah Rai airport in Bali and was greeted by Lydia, the younger sister of her late mother. Ilena was a little awkward as the aunt hugged her. Lidia's face was indeed almost similar to Lorna that Ilena saw only from a photo that her father had shown first.

Ilena never had any memories of her mother. It's too bad for your fate, Ilena.

Lydia framed the face of Ilena who was very similar to her late sister, Lorna. His heart was sad to remember about that one and only brother.

"I thank God for meeting my sister's daughter" Lydia said.

Ilena smiled bitterly. I still doubt if this is real. A lifetime never felt the warmth of a family except from an orphanage.

"Come, we're going home! Now this is your home, Lena." Lydia hugged Ilena's shoulder warmly.

Taking a short trip, Ilena arrives at a house with a traditional architecture. Similar to a temple or maybe a temple. There are many traditional houses.

Seeing it at a glance, Ilena instantly fell in love with this place. The atmosphere was very different from when he was in Rio.

"Let's go in! Auntie has prepared a room for you. Andrew told me a lot about you."

Ilena nodded in understanding. He entered a large room. The door is made of many beautiful carvings. Even his bed was of solid teak wood. Ilena was surprised to see it.

"You just rest. Must be tired after a long journey."

"Yes, Auntie. Thank you." Thank you."

Lydia closed the door to Ilena's room and allowed her niece to relax first.

Lydia met a believer named Dharma.

"Has the Lady's nephew come?" ask Dharma.

"Yes. Please keep an eye on him as long as I'm not around! He is a precious treasure to me now."

"Good, Mistress. Is Madam going to the office?"

Lydia nodded then left Dharma by patting her shoulder.

Dharma looked at Ilena's tightly closed room. His look was strange but meaningful.

Ilena woke up from her sleep. He stretched his muscles which felt stiff after a long trip.

"God! How long have I been sleeping?" muttered Ilena.

When he came the day was still bright and now it had changed the night. Ilena held onto her hungry stomach. He decides to leave the room and look for Lydia.

"Auntie! Aunt Lydia!" exclaim Ilena.

Ilena stepped down the house that turned out to be quite spacious.

"Auntie!" call Ilena again. "A house this big isn't there an assistant?" lirih Ilena's.

"Whose looking is it?"

A voice from the back of her body made Ilena tiptoed in shock.

"Huh?! I.." said Ilena stammered.

In front of him stood a large tall man and a body that was clearly muscular despite being covered in long-sleeved jerseys. The brownish skin color due to a lot of sunburn makes a sexy and exotic impression in the eyes of Ilena.

"Miss looking for Lady Lydia?" asked the man again which made Ilena nod.

The man smiled. A dimple is printed on the right cheek. Just one, but still looks sweet.

"Mrs Lydia's still in the office."

"Eh? You speak English?" Ilena just realized that now she is no longer in Rio.

"I'm Dharma. I am a confidant of Lady Lydia. You must be Miss Ilena, right?"

"Yes. Oh yeah, what day is it?" I don't know why Ilena asked about the day.

"It's tuesday."

Ilena's eyes were round. "Huh?! Did ya? So I slept that long?I sleep from Monday and wake up on Tuesday?"

Dharma smile. "Mrs Lydia said leave it alone. It seems like Miss is very exhausted. Oh yeah, Miss would want to have dinner, right? I've prepared, come!"

Ilena followed Dharma's steps towards the dining table. This guy looks warm and nice. Ilena was a little fascinated by him. For a long time he had not felt anything strange with his heart.

"Miss eat first! I'm waiting outside."

Ilena nodded. He smiled at Dharma's departure. Ilena ate her dinner voraciously because she must have been very hungry.

Not long after Lydia came home and greeted Ilena.

"Hi honey, Dharma said you're awake. How's sleep?"

Lydia rubbed the top of Ilena's head gently.

"I'm sorry if I've been asleep too long, Auntie."

"No! I don't mind you sleeping that long. You've been through a lot of misfortune because of my brother. So now I'm going to replace it with happiness."

Ilena looked at Lydia.

"You have to learn Indonesian. I'm sure you'll learn fast. You must be smart like your mother."

Ilena smiled bitterly. Actually he does not like it if it should be equated with Lorna. The woman who had given birth to him into the world at once gave him a wound.

"I'm sorry if you don't like me talking about your mother. You'd better continue eating and go back to the room."

Ilena nodded obediently.

"Auntie, doesn't Aunt have a housekeeper?"

Ilena.

"Thank you for your Auntie for supporting me. I thought I was alone in this world."

"No, sweetheart. You have me in this world." Lydia hugged Ilena. Swiping the back of the girl who got a lot of injuries.

The next day, Ilena is in a saung that is usually for young children's dance practice. Ilena watched every move the children made.

"Miss likes to dance?" Dharma suddenly came to Ilena.

"The Dharma? Just surprised!" Ilena held onto his chest.

"Mrs Lydia told me to teach Ms. to speak good and true Indonesian. Come with me, Miss!"

Ilena was just an unclear beard with the command in question.

Today Ilena learned light vocabulary and read letters slowly.

The smile that had never expanded, now began to crack on the beautiful face and shade of Ilena. White's decision to send Ilena back to her family was the right thing.

"How was your day, Lena?" ask Lydia.

"Fun, Aunt. I learned many things from Dharma."

"Hmm, great. How was your life with Andrew?"

"good. Doctor White was very kind to me."

"Heh?! Who did you say?" Lydia was surprised to hear Andrew's full name.

"Doctor White. His real name is Andrew White. But there he's better known as Doctor White."

Lidia's face changed drastically upon hearing Andrew's last name. Face pale.

"Auntie? Aunty all right?" ask Ilena.

"Yes, Son. Maybe just tired. When you're done learning, you go to bed!"

Ilena nodded. Ilena looked at the back of Lydia who was away.

"What's wrong with her?" muttered Ilena.

Ilena began to feel sleepiness. He finished his lesson and went to the room. The atmosphere of the house was so quiet and calm that it made Ilena able to rest for a very long time.

The next day, Ilena woke up with a fit body and a happy heart. He cleaned himself before leaving the room.

After cleaning up, Ilena wants to say hello to Lydia who left last night with a million questions for Ilena.

But what he found was not Lydia and only Dharma.

"Miss is awake?" ask Dharma.

"Where's Aunt Lydia?" Ilena dyed looking for the figure of Lydia.

"Mrs Lydia's gone, miss."

"Hmm? Where's where?"

"There is a sudden business to be done. And ... There's a message from Lady Lydia for Miss."

Dharma gave Ilena a piece of paper. Although confused Ilena still read it.

He frowned after reading a letter from Lydia.

"What does this mean? Why do we have to pretend to be a couple?" Ilena flicked the letter in front of the Dharma.

"It's not in Rio, miss. It has its own rules and customs, so .. please understand!"

Ilena thought for a moment. "alright. I'll do what Aunt Lydia asks. Is Aunt gonna be gone so long she's gonna have to leave me to you?"

Dharma took a breath. It must be difficult for Ilena to accept such a sudden and unilateral decision.

"It seems so, Miss."

Ilena exhaled a rough breath. "Then should I stay at your house?"

"Yes, Miss. Don't worry, I live alone. And there's some empty rooms there."

"Huf! Alright!"

Ilena packed the things she needed while staying in the Dharma house. I want to feel like I'm against Lydia, but it's also impossible. He is the only one Ilena has in the world.

Ilena arrives at the traditional Dharma house. There are some paintings hanging there.

"Do you like to paint?" ask Ilena.

"Where do you know if this is my painting?"

"That's your signature downstairs. S. Dharmas. Who else if not your name? But why choose abstract paintings?"

Dharma stared at his own paintings.

"Eitherway. I just follow my heart."

Ilena.

"Miss, just take a break in the guest room. But if you want to take a walk, I can accompany Miss."

Ilena's face flushed. He felt ashamed when Dharma looked at him.
