Revenge And Desire of The Mafia
135. Dharma Honesty

Dharma cursed himself because he was in a hurry to make a decision. From the beginning Ilena had indeed captivated her heart. The fragile girl he wanted to protect. But he realized that Ilena had a severe trauma in her life, just like her who had also been injured.

The violence is perpetrated by Ilena's family as well as Red, who was Dharma's best friend as a teenager.

Dharma is looking for the existence of Ilena who went out of the house and did not go home too. He was looking but he had not found it yet.

The day had turned dark and Dharma decided to return to his home. He saw the lights of the house that were already on. He ran and saw that Ilena was already there.

"Miss Ilena!" dharma exclamation that made Ilena surprised.

The girl is preparing dinner.

"Sit down! We eat together" said Ilena flat.

"Miss Lena, I'm sorry..."

Ilena's quiet. He sat down in a chair and told Dharma to sit down too.

"Miss Lena, say something. Please!" pinta Dharma's.

"I'm not angry, Dharma. I just can't accept everything yet. All the things of the past suddenly came to haunt me when you touched me earlier. I should be the one apologizing."

Dharma smile.

"Thank you for not being mad at me."

"Here you go, we'd better eat first." Ilena took the rice and side dishes into the dish for Dharma. Ilena acts like a wife to Dharma.

"Thank you" said Dharma to receive his plate.

"Are you getting used to Indonesian food?" tanyakanya.

"Yes tolerable. The cuisine here has a distinctive flavor. And I still haven't memorized all his names."

Ilena told me enthusiastically how she learned to cook from an assistant at Lydia's house. Ilena's laughter expanded again.

Dharma was happy to see Ilena laughing. A laugh that made his heart cool. It had been a long time since his heart was deserted after being abandoned by a loved one.

"So, you ever been married?" ilena asked quite surprised as they chatted casually on the porch of the house.

Dharma nodded. "Yes, five years have passed."

"sorry. Is he sick?"

"That's how."

Ilena rubbed the Dharma's back gently.

"You should be a warm man, Dharma. You must be a very kind and caring husband."

Dharma smile. "You think I do?"

Ilena nodded.

"Miss Lena, if you have to face your past, are you willing to face it or avoid it?"

DEG

"What do you mean by that question?" Ilena felt something was wrong here.

"You asked me, where do I come from, right? If it turns out that my past life is also connected to your past, are you willing to deal with it?"

Ilena swallowed her saliva.

"Tell me what you want to say!" firmly Ilena. He could no longer play with cats like this.

"I'm from Rio, Miss. Just like you..."

"Well?!" Ilena's stunned.

"I also know White and Red. We were gangster friends as teenagers" Dharma said.

Ilena remained silent. It turns out his world can't be far from a Red. Everything revolves around it.

"I decided to come here and meet your aunt. I work for him. We changed our names so they wouldn't be recognized. My real name is Steven Howard. And your aunt Lucia Matthews. We adapt here and blend in with the people here. And it turns out I'm in love with this place."

Ilena sighed.

"I'm sorry if the reality doesn't match what you expected, miss."

Ilena was silent for quite a while. Think if everything that's stuck is going to go back to the same center, Red.

"What's with my destiny and Red?" inner Ilena.

"It's late, Miss. We'd better get inside the house" Dharma said.

That morning, Ilena woke up to hear the sound of a loud object clashing. He glanced at the clock in his room and it was still six in the morning.

"Is everyone here always getting up in the morning?" muttered Ilena.

Then he got up and immediately cleaned himself up. He should prepare breakfast for her and Dharma.

Ilena heard the sound of wood being cut from the back of the house. It comes from the Dharma house. Ilena thought it was the sound of the neighbor's house.

Technically, the Dharma house is a bit far from the rest of the house. He once told me if he likes calmness and solitude since the departure of his wife.

Ilena approached Dharma who was cutting firewood. The upper body of the Dharma was exposed by Ilena's eyes. The clayy and stocky body without a thread covered it became a beautiful sight this morning for Ilena. Sweat that bleeds indicates if the Dharma has been doing this activity since.

Ilena who was still gawking finally made Dharma realize the presence of the girl.

"You awake?"

Ilena gasps. He was misbehaved because he was caught staring at the Dharma since then. Ilena could only nod her head.

"I-I'll prepare breakfast!" said Ilena nervously and immediately turned around.

"Wait, Miss!" prevent Dharma.

Dharma brought some firewood. "It would be better if we cooked with fire directly."

"Did?!"

"You just prepare the ingredients, I'll clean myself first."

Ilena looked at that wide back that was starting to move away.

"Good, Ilena! What are you thinking?!" Ilena shook her head quickly. He patted both cheeks to get back to reality.

Ten minutes later, Dharma returned wearing a tight shirt that stuck right in his body. Ilena gulped back down her saliva.

"Why is she so seductive? Awake, Ilena! He loved his late wife very much. The day was just an accident! Don't think he likes you! You'll get hurt again if you wish for more!"

"Miss Lena!"

"Well?!" Ilena jumped in shock.

"All the ingredients are ready?" dharma asked who saw Ilena had prepared the meat and vegetables.

"Come on!" Dharma pulled Ilena's hand gently and brought her to the backyard.

"We're going to cook here?" asked Ilena confused.

"Yes. I used to cook myself using a stove. The taste of the food will be more delicious."

"really?" Ilena still can't believe it.

"You'll see, Miss!"

Dharma started her cooking show. Ilena was still watching closely.

A few minutes passed, and Dharma asked Ilena to cook as well. Dharma taught Ilena painstakingly.

Sometimes they throw jokes at each other when a puff of smoke strikes and blackens their faces.

Gently Dharma cleaned the black stain on Ilena's face with a tissue. Ilena was nervous because of their very close position.

Ilena also took a tissue and cleaned the Dharma face which was also covered in sweat. Dharma could feel if Ilena was still experiencing her trauma. He felt if Ilena's hand shook when she touched his face.

Dharma's hand stopped Ilena's hand that rubbed her face. He clasped Ilena's trembling and sweaty hands.

"Slowly, Miss!"

Dharma stared at Ilena's beautiful and shady bead. He looked at Ilena's lips which were also trembling.

"Try to slow it down!" dharma said that his body was now so close to Ilena.

Even the roar of Dharma's breath could be felt hitting her face. They were just as dispelling the pain they had ever felt.
