Take Me To Your Heart
Chapter 76 - The Return of Oma

The news of Amanda's arrest has been heard by the media. Many people are now swarming in front of the Wijaya family home, the Regan family and at the police station. But among them, no one wanted to explain.

"Pa, how is this? There are a lot of reporters in front of the house. I can't even go to work. Why is the news spreading so quickly? In fact, you just fired Amanda from the company a few hours ago."

"Come Karen. Papa's even too shy to come out because Amanda's deeds really tarnish our family's good name. Though papa loves him sincerely, but he instead gives us problems like this. Even the new papa knows again, it turns out he also collaborated to defame Renatta who had gone viral yesterday. Papa doesn't understand why he did such a bad thing."

Karen actually knows why, because Amanda hates Renatta. But he never thought that Amanda would do such an evil thing until the whole world blasphemed Renatta. Between pity and annoyance, because he can't go anywhere today.

"We need to clarify Pa. Otherwise, there might be more and more reporters coming."

"Papa will think. Now you're not going anywhere."

"All right Pa."

Mommy Jessie got word from the maid at home, that there were a lot of reporters at the gate. He was worried and worried about going home.

Mommy Jessie told Regan and Renatta. Today, Oma Lina will be returning from the hospital. But if so, there will certainly be many people who ask for an explanation and hunt for information related to Amanda's arrest.

"We need to stay home, Mom. Let me handle everything."

"Well, if that's your decision, Mommy will."

Renatta helped pack Oma Lina's clothes into the bag, while Regan outside contacted Ozy to take care of all the reporters who came. Then Mommy Jessie feeds Oma Lina for a meal.

Once they are done with their respective duties, Oma Lina is led to the front of the car and sits behind the wheel with Mommy Jessie with Regan driving and Renatta sitting at the wheel.

On the way, Oma Lina fell asleep. At that moment, Mommy Jessie immediately opened her voice, asking about the situation at home.

"Where? Any word from Ozy?"

"Udah Mom's. He said he threw out all the reporters who came. So, at home it's safe. But either, a few hours later, they could come again or even increase from other news media."

"To be honest, Mommy doesn't like it when it goes viral. Amanda's in jail, Mommy's had enough. He has already received the reward for his actions" commented Mommy Jessie.

But there is a difference of opinion from Regan. He still doesn't feel like this is worth what Amanda did to Renatta.

"It's still easy for him Mom. Renatta had even been through worse things for years. He was played by Amanda."

Renatta touched Regan's hand so the man wouldn't say more. He did not want Regan to accumulate such a deep sense of resentment and hatred. It was all in vain, just hoarding sins.

"I told you, let it pass. I have accepted it. After all, with what I've been through, I have learned lessons and experiences. Not everything I experience bears bad fruit but there is also good. So, please don't do anything else. Let Amanda be the police's business."

"Mom, did you hear this stupid woman? He's getting too good now. Sometimes I want Renatta back to being a bad woman so that she looks strong and does not easily waver with the sadness of others."

Regan complains to Mommy Jessie about Renatta being too good. He was always upset if the woman he liked behaved that way.

Mommy Jessie instead of defending Regan, she mocked her son.

"It wasn't you who said it yourself, if you liked the kind of kind and gentle woman. Renatta is now a good woman. You should be happy."

"Mom! Please, that was before. Not anymore. I just like a guy named Renatta. Want whatever he is and his nature."

"Bragging! Crocodile mah emang jagonya gombal Nat. Don't believe!" Mommy Jessie instigates Renatta instead.

"Mom!" call Regan a little scream.

"Yes, yes, it's very chatty of you!"

"Mommy's more chatty than I know!" said Regan who did not want to be said chatty.

In the middle of that bickering between Mommy Jessie and Regan, Renatta's phone suddenly rings. Apparently Papa Dewa was the one who called.

"Hello Pa, what's wrong?" ask Renatta.

"Nat, you want to ask, the news on television is a lie or is it true? Is Amanda in jail now?" ask the curious God Papa.

"It's really Pa."

"Geez, my God! How can?"

"The story is long Pa. I'll tell papa that I'm at Regan's house. It's me now still on Pa's journey."

"Oh, okay then. Be careful on the road."

"Yes Pa. Papa's fine there with sister Nesha."

"Surely."

The phone connection stopped, Renatta put his phone back in his bag.

"The story has gone viral everywhere even people outside the city just to know. Surely soon it will be more explosive and Wijaya family shares will decrease if from their side do not clarify. If we're supposed to say enough that the news is true."

"Remain still, from our side we must also give Regan an explanation. Fear they even added their own news with spices to make it more explosive again. The media today is like a thirst for gossip" said Mommy Jessie.

The mother and daughter were never like that. But even so, it is what makes the two close like a friend.

The car is traveling at normal speed. The distance from the car to the house is very close. Even the gate was visible, according to Ozy's words, the journalist was no longer there because apparently Ozy hired a gangster to wait and guard in front of the house.

The car also goes into the yard. They get out of the car and wake Oma Lina and lead her into the house.

Inside, Ozy was enjoying a cold drink served by the maid in the house. He smiled happily because Oma Lina was already looking to recover.

"I'm happy, because Oma is healthy again. I'm sorry Oma, as long as Oma's in the hospital, I don't see her once."

"It's okay Zy. Oma knows how, you must be bothered again by Regan."

Ozy only half-smiled as Oma Lina's guess was indeed correct.

"Then, Oma to the room first huh. You guys talk, you must be here because there's something important to talk to Regan, right?"

Ozy nodded.

Oma Lina is taken to the room by Renatta and Mommy Jessie. The two men sat facing each other in the living room.

"I'm a genius by hiring gangsters. The reporters were even on the run all of earlier. But, yes, what do you want to do after this? This news will definitely not be easy to disappear, I'm just afraid that Renatta will continue to be dragged back. You'll know for yourself, the Amanda that we know today is no longer the Amanda that we know. He is truly evil beyond the devil. I can't even believe it, because all this time he's always been kind and gentle. Yeah, even though there were times when I was upset and annoyed with him."

"Your performance is beyond doubt. This month I'll add your salary. I will think of a way, after the Wijaya family gives clarification."

Hearing the salary that will be added, Ozy is very happy, especially soon his wife also wants to give birth.

"Let it be, if it's your decision. I just have to wait for the order as usual. Then I'll go home first. The gangsters in front of it I have rented for the next three days.I have paid also using my money. So you have to replace it 2 times, okay?"

"Basin the duitan eye! I'll raise your salary, still get a chance!"

"The name is also business" Ozy said with a happy smile.
