Stuck With An Old Man (Revision Stage)
CHAPTER 18: The Fake Family
The night is getting late. A girl who was none other than Yara seemed to be sitting on the bed with her head resting on the bed. The girl seemed to be closing her eyes, with a book still tucked in her hand. The wall clock has shown twelve o'clock past ten minutes. Yara was waiting for Gala's arrival, but the man had not yet come and made himself sleep with a position leaning on the head of the bed.
The door to the room is open. The man who was waiting for Yara arrived. Gala looked at his wife who had fallen asleep while holding a book in her hand. The man approached, about to justify Yara's sleeping position. But suddenly, Yara's hand pulled her neck so that the position of her face was right above Yara's pretty face. The man was stunned to see the look on his wife's face. But the first thing that came to his mind was the image of Elyora's face.
When viewed up close, his face really resembled Elyora. Inner Gala.
A small indentation formed at the corner of Gala's lips. He also tucked a child's hair that covered part of his wife's plain face. Gala did not stop looking at Yara who was still sound asleep. Sometimes he gently stroked the top of Yara's head. “You turned out to be sweet too,” he said smiling.
“Om Gala .. ?” lirih Yara still closed her eyes.
Gala was shocked and immediately distanced her body from Yara. Gala loosened her tie and took off the suit still attached to her burly body.
“Om Gala is home?” lirih Yara again while rubbing her eyes that look cute.
“Newly,” says Gala.
Yara moved from her sleep. He looked at Gala's face then threw a sweet smile at the man. Gala immediately blushed. The face of Yara who just woke up turned out to be more fresh and beautiful. Gala's heart started to let out a turmoil. But he always opposed his feelings and claimed the figure of Yara as the incarnation of Elyora. That was what made Gala feel uneasy and instantly put a limit on Yara.
Be aware! You see her as her mother! Not himself!
“Om, why so long? I waited for Om from earlier,” said Yara with a little bit of compassion.
Gala's heart was a little shaky. Yara's attitude really made the grown man feel a strange thing that could not be expressed in words. His heart rate is starting to be abnormal. Gala threw her gaze away from Yara's face because she knew that something was wrong with her feelings.
“I want to shower first,” says Gala, flat.
Just as Gala was about to stand up from her seat, Yara suddenly restrained Gala's muscular arms. It makes Gala increasingly want to do his desire to have Yara completely. But again he realized, if he saw Yara as Elyora.
“Why is the corner of the lip Om bruised? Did Om Gala just fight?”
Gala pulled his arm. “It's okay. Don't think,” leaves Yara.
“Let me treat,” bargain Yara while reaching for the p3k box located in the drawer next to the bed.
Gala was forced to return to sit her body on the edge of the bed. He looked at Yara who was drinking alcohol and cotton.
“Excuse me for a moment,” said Yara.
Gala speechless. Without realizing it, he had obeyed all the commands of Yara. The girl started to apply cotton that had been given alcohol and cleaned the bloodstains that had coagulated there. “Why Om Gala until injured?”
“Not your business,” said coldly.
“I deserve to know. I ‘kan your wife, Om,” said Yara with so plain, blameless.
Hearing Yara's words, he swallowed the saliva violently. Gala usually says things like that. And now he had heard a confession from his wife's mouth. Gala pulled the corner of her lips and smiled so thinly, that Yara did not notice. There was a sense of excitement in the heart of the man, but he was reluctant to express it.
“Thanks,” says Gala, reflex.
“Hmm,” nodded. “Ohya, Om Gala has not answered my question. Why did Om get hurt!”
“I got into a fight with Leon.”
The deg!!
“Loh, why?” raising maniknya.
“Actually my business is long over. But I followed Leon and saw him go with another woman.”
“Gosh! So is it true what Chiren and Shanks said? It turns out that Om Leon does have a stash!”
Gala scrunched her forehead. “You mean? You know if Leon cheated?”
“I heard Chiren and Om Leon had a fight last night. And I heard that Chiren accused Om Leon of meeting another woman at the hotel.”
“Leon is a jerk. Before she married Chiren, she did have many lovers. Leon doesn't love Chiren. Their marriage was not based on love, but on the business relationship between the Roddericks and the Chlarks. Originally Chiren was betrothed to me, but I vehemently rejected the matchmaking. And finally Papa decided if Leon alone would replace me.”
Gala's explanation shook Yara's heart.
“My family life is very chaotic. It wasn't just Leon and Chiren who were betrothed for business. But Papa and Mama are also actually united by politics. Papa's family has the largest business in the world, while Mama's family has an important influence in the country. Mama is the granddaughter of the former president who once led the country. So they were betrothed only because of political interests. There is no love and affection in this family. Everything the public saw was just a mere falsity!”
“Very unfortunate yes, well-respected and respected family in this country turned out to be fake. All the harmony shown is drama.”
“Yes that. I once had a vow if I would unite my family. But it seems like it will only be in vain. Papa has three mistresses. One is the same age as you, and the other two are three years younger than me. So did Mama. Mama has 2 mistresses. One is in droves, and the other is the same age as me!”
Yara unceasingly widened her manic. His mouth was open, as if he could not believe what Gala said. “Mama Papa has more than one deposit?!! Ta—but what is it all for?” yara asked confusedly.
“Especially if not for fun and satisfying their desires. Actually I don't want to tell you all my family secrets. But since you have become part of this family, then you should also know the bad side of the Rodderick.” family
“I still don't expect you, Om! No wonder Om Leon has such a bad attitude. Turns out he got that trait from Mama and Papa.”
“Since childhood me and Leon have been used to living as a broken home child. Leon hates Papa and Mama. He grew up to be a jerk not because of his wishes. But actually as a form of resistance to the attitude of Papa and Mama. But it's all the same. There's nothing different. Our parents don't care about our lives. They only care about power and money. From childhood, Leon and I began to study hard to become useful people who can pioneer Papa's business well. As a result, everything went according to their wishes.”
Yara still listened faithfully to Gala's words.
Good Lord! What a pity Om Gala and Om Leon. They never feel the love of their parents sincerely. I feel lucky to be born into a family that cares and loves me. Yes, even if only for a moment, but I am very happy to have a Father and Mother in my life.
