Ryanthi: Sweet Cake, Bitter Reality
● ELEVEN : Beginning of Travel

Ryanthi was fixated upon returning the gazes of the two women, who were standing a few meters away from where she was. Ryanthi had already seen Maya's figure, as she had met the usurper's woman a few days ago. However, he did not know the girl of his late stature who stood next to the red-haired woman.

"Come," take Surya. "You don't want to welcome Ryanthi?" Surya looked at Maya and the beautiful girl, who was none other than Vera. Vera is the princess Maya brought to the house.

"Oh, of course" Maya approaches Ryanthi with a kindly pretentious face. He smiled widely, then placed his cheek on Ryanthi's cheek which did not respond at all. The girl was just glued. Don't want to go on a show.

"Veras?" Surya beckoned to the princess, who only cheered. He doesn't like that. However, Vera finally complies to give Ryanthi a warm welcome. "Hopefully, you and Ryanthi can be good friends" Surya told the long-haired beauty.

"Yes of course. Papa doesn't have to worry about that. Ryanthi and I will definitely be good friends. Isn't that right, Ryanthi?" Vera turned her gaze to princess Farida, who was just staring intently at her. Ryanthi had no interest in responding to the nonsense of the girl who had a slightly higher posture than him.

"Ah, Papa take it easy. I'll be watching them. After all, Vera and Ryanthi were already both adults. They can no longer fight over dolls" Maya joked, though no one responded with laughter.

"Goodoo. That's what Papa wants, because from now on Ryanthi will stay here.

Treat him well. Do not let there be a single complaint from him," Surya's message was full of authority.

"Oh, sure. Sure." Sure." Maya responded again. The red-haired woman, trying to hide her dislike for Surya's decision. However, he did not have the courage to dispute the man's authority. That means, Maya must be prepared to feel discomfort over Ryanthi's presence there.

"Welcome to this house, Ryanthi," Maya said with a smile. However, the woman immediately poked her lips, upon seeing the cold expression Ryanthi showed.

Actually, Surya doesn't have to try to bring them closer. Ryanthi also does not need special privileges, because his position in the house is very clear.

"Come, I'll take you to your room," take Surya.

Ryanthi doesn't want to talk much. He obeyed the words of his father. After all, he had already started to become uncomfortable with the two women. Better yet, Ryanthi leaves right away from there.

Surya takes Ryanthi to the second floor. He showed me the room the girl was going to occupy. A room that is much wider than the living room of his rented house. The room also has full facilities.

There, there was a large bed and it looked very soft. The color of the sheets is in line with the wall paint, which is partly covered with elegant floral wallpaper and gives a luxurious impression. In addition, there is also a large flat-screen television, air conditioning, as well as various other facilities that Ryanthi never felt during his stay with the late Farida.

"Do you like this room I've prepared?" Surya's question instantly disperse Ryanthi's daydream.

The beautiful girl looked over, then smiled. "This is a very nice room. Thank you," he replied quietly, looking at every corner of the room. It was as if he was looking for something. "Where's the closet?" ask Ryanthi plain.

Surya smiled at the question. He immediately pointed at a door that was in the corner of the room. Surya invites Ryanthi along with him. He showed me what was behind the door.

"This is the dressing room. Keep all your clothes and belongings here" explained Surya while showing a fairly large storefront. There are also several tables with an arrangement of drawers, as well as other special storefronts for shoes that are slightly smaller.

"Everything is empty. I don't know what kind of clothes you like, what your shoe number is, whether you like accessories or not" Surya said. His face looked full of regret.

Ryanthi understood what Surya was feeling at the time. "It's okay. I brought all my clothes here" the beautiful girl replied with a sincere smile.

Surya nodded slowly. He showed me the bathroom with all the facilities. Surya explains how to use a sitting closet, hot shower, and so on. He tells Ryanthi everything, because all this time the girl has never used luxury facilities like the one in the father's house. Ryanthi used to bathe from the bucket with a dipper. He also pooped in the squat closet without having to suppress this and that.

After Ryanthi was done explaining, Surya left her alone in the room. She suggested that her daughter rest.

After Surya died, Ryanthi sat on the edge of the bed. The mattress is really soft. Very much different from the bed she used to sleep on. Ryanthi then groped the bedcover that covered her. So smooth and soft. He would definitely sleep well with all that comfort.

However, Ryanthi's memories suddenly turn to Maya and Vera. He knew that they did not like his presence there. I don't know what the mother and child will do to her, considering Maya has managed to get Farida to leave the mansion.

Ryanthi stood by the glass window. His gaze glared far out. "This is my house. I am more worthy than both of them. If Maya got my mom out of here in the first place, then I'll make sure it never happens again. Let's see how smart you are at doing it."

A small smile was painted on the corner of Ryanthi's lips. She must prove that she is a strong woman who is not easily oppressed. No one has the right to take away all their happiness again. Ryanthi assured him that. "I'll never let you down, ma'am. Everything that is a great hope and ambition that we have designed, I will soon be realized. I pledge. There's not a single most precious thing that can prevent me from giving you pride."

Ryanthi wiped away the tears dripping at the corner of her lips. The mother's death has been the worst disaster of her life. However, due to Farida's departure, a Ryanthi's hidden strength is awakened.
