That Other Woman, My Mother
26

Seeing Leo fall asleep in his bed, Nayra just smiled. At first glance he remembered how the man did it. Despite her embarrassment, Nayra admits that Leo may be one of the thousands of men women dream of. Mapan and shrewd pamper women—born and inner.

Little compared to the selfish Aldo, Leo is a million times better. He just needed to let Leo know him much deeper.

Apparently, dinner isn't over yet, so Nayra sneaks out. Passing through rooms and long hallways with dim light.

The sound of a room with a door slightly opened, made Nayra pause for a moment.

That was the voice of Papa Edo, and Papa Edo was defending him? Then what is it? Leo's an heir too? Ah, maybe he should know Leo more deeply so that he understands the genealogy of this great family.

The voice subsided, then Nayra retreated to enter the next room so as not to be caught eavesdropping.

From the crack of the door she could see Ana coming out with an unusually irritated face. The woman's lips swooped cynically. Nayra smiled; surely Ana was annoyed at him.

"But damn it, if he's the heir! Nayra must be big head."

Nayra laughed inwardly hearing Ana's annoyance. Nothing yet, Ana's been slammed first. I don't know what Papa Edo said, but Nayra thanked me. Although one day he had to admit that he approached Leo because he wanted to benefit.

Nayra's eyes were still watching Ana, but a faint grunt rang out in Nayra's ears.

"Edo and Leo just don't know how great I am yet, so naturally they're haughty in front of me. Wait until I make you submit and will only hear what I say!"

Nayra's eyes were perfectly rounded, shocked not playing. She did not expect Ana to still commit the crime while she was being hunted by the police. So now Ana's goal has changed? From flirting to lovers to teasing in-laws too? So if Leo fails to be seduced, then will Ana still be able to control him through her in-laws' hands?

This is great ... But not when Ana has already leaked out her own goal. Nayra just had to change strategy. Close to the two men so Ana can't tease them.

A moment passed, Nayra finally exited the room and stepped quietly as if nothing had happened before. In front of Edo's room, Nayra deliberately waved a step, hoping they would cross paths.

A little waiting, Edo finally came out and was shocked to see Nayra standing in front of his private room.

"Loh, Nay ... Why stand here? Where's leo?" Edo walked slowly towards Nayra who immediately pretended that her legs were hurting.

"This, Om. No ordinary heels." Nayra pointed at her feet by slightly raising the dress she was wearing.

"Wow, if the pain goes back to the room." Edo panic.

"Udah, they just need an announcement about your wedding. Leo had long been betrothed, among other lovers, and worse, Leo was accused of "Not being able to stand up" because he always avoided arranged marriages and even refused to bring the woman he dated back home." Edo asks Nayra to hold on to him. Then the man continued to tell the story after Nayra held Edo's arm.

"Leo is a voter, and will do nothing but move his heart. And well, you must be special in Papa's child's eyes." Edo walks in waiting for Nayra who is in trouble—of course Nayra is just pretending.

"I'm just an ordinary woman, Om. .. I was even impressed to use Leo for his kindness. Maybe I'm bad luck for Leo ... Leo just apes pas nolong me and caught you." Nayra's words made Edo laugh.

"I just cheated on my girlfriend and met Leo who made my boyfriend misunderstand me until I broke up with him. Leo helped me, Om .. at least, when later my ex knew who Leo was, he could think that being dumped doesn't mean no one wants to be with me."

"You are right .. The world is fair to all. And I said, you're lucky, even though you accidentally met Leo. Leo has everything you can be proud of ... And he got you who I think has an interesting personality. Principle Leo, beauty is not enough."

Nayra chuckled small. "So, Om don't mind at all the beginning of the story we met?"

"Yes, don't mind at all." Edo chuckled as he looked at Nayra who seemed to be in shock. "Sometimes, love is bullshit .. but understanding each other and understanding each other's purpose, I find it much more receptive. Good bad partner, we will easily understand. And ... that love will come later. Trust me, Papa."

Nayra was surprised, she stopped and looked at the man closely.

Edo laughed at Nayra's expression. "After all, as long as Leo wants to. I'm sure he can condition his heart. Or it could be, he has made a deal with you so he wants it when you marry. Leo is easy to understand, only he is stubborn."

Nayra nodded, then lowered her head to hide the red hue on her face.

"It seems you want to repeat your first night again, so .. straighten your feet, and accompany Papa's son."

Nayra was shocked again when at the door of her room came Leo who was slightly ashen in her eyes. More shamefully, Edo learned of his lie. Damn it!

Edo laughed at this. Nayra looks plain for a woman in her 30s. "Don't hesitate, Nay .. Without you pretending to be sprained, Papa will definitely let you be with Leo even though the show below is not finished yet."

Nayra just rubbed her nape and said good night before taking a quick step and pushing Leo inside. It's not because of bad luck, but he wants to scold Leo because Leo is out when he wants to be pictured in front of Papa Leo. Jeez ... basic guy doesn't know his name is timing right!
