The Five Billion Wife
Chapters 15. Go to the old house

Rio faced a dilemma, wanting to bring Riana into the room, but naturally at the risk that she would be discovered that she was no longer paralyzed. Like the first night Riana stayed in Rio's room. As Rio moved Riana to the bed. Riana looked suspicious despite not daring to ask.

Rio had hidden his healing in everyone for a reason. Rio suspected that the accident he had was not an accident. But because someone had evil intentions for him.

After the accident, Rio did therapy periodically. It's been almost a year and he's been cured. He also managed to make everyone believe if he stopped treatment out of desperation.

"I'm sorry Riana, I didn't mean to lie to you" Rio muttered.

Only he and his personal doctor knew, until a few days ago, he had to, frankly, tell Judah. As well as asking Yuda to ask him to hire a detective. He decides to investigate the events of the accident that happened to him, after he can remember that, before the accident there was a threat from people he did not know. Until all is clear, Rio doesn't want people to know that he has been cured

Rio took the blanket from inside the room and enveloped Riana's body. After that, he took a shower and changed his clothes. When she returned, Riana started to wake up from her sleep. Riana was startled when she saw that Rio had already come home and had even cleared himself without Riana's help.

"Mas Rio, sorry I overslept," said Riana panicked.

Rio just kept quiet and just showed his cold demeanor. But when he remembered the advice of Ustad Wahid, he smiled at Riana.

"It's okay. Go inside and sleep," Rio said softly.

"I'll prepare dinner for you. You must be hungry" said Riana and went to the kitchen.

"I ...," Rio said stalled as Riana had already disappeared from his sight.

Rio pushed his wheelchair towards the kitchen to look at Riana. His eyes did not escape for a second from Riana's movements. Rio smiled looking at the change in attitude of Riana, who was much better than the beginning of her entry into this house.

"The food is ready" said Riana happy.

Riana invited Rio to eat. He apparently had not eaten either so he accompanied while eating as well.

After eating, Rio and Riana sat back in the living room while watching a movie. They need to relax first so that the food they just ate, will be digested well first.

"Mas Rio, Riana apologized for leaving without saying goodbye. I have my own reasons for doing that. I hope you can understand" Riana said in the middle of the night.

"Riana, don't you want to tell me your reason? At least, I'll know and won't stand in your way again," Rio asked trying to convince Riana.

For a moment, Riana fell silent while staring at Rio's face which only seemed partial. Riana realized, keeping the secret did not make the heart calm.

"Since I was a child, I was in an orphanage. When I was taken there, I was in pain and I was traumatized. The mother told me that my uncle had brought me there because they didn't have the cost to take care of me" Riana said.

"Both your parents?" rio asked curiously.

As an adult, Riana wanted to make a pilgrimage to the graves of her father and mother, but until now, there was no hope of a single clue she could use as the beginning of the search. At that time Handi used it to be able to invite Riana to eat together.

Rio listened sadly. It was only fitting that, all this time he had never been able to find an existence. Rio found out that Riana was his childhood friend from the necklace he was wearing. The necklace was Rio's gift when there was a night market event in the city where he used to live. The necklace is twin, one is on Rio and the other one is worn by Riana.

Rio could not hide this secret any longer, so he decided to help Riana find the graves of her parents. This time, Rio had to prepare himself to help Riana first.

"Riana, tomorrow I'll take you somewhere. I'll help you, so you won't have to look for Handi anymore" Rio said seriously.

"But, Handi said she had information about my family," Riana said in a panic.

"I even know all about you. Now let's go to sleep" Rio said.

Riana seemed to have gained new hope. He looked excited and immediately helped Rio to go to the room and rest.

Riana promised inwardly, if Rio could really help her find the tomb of her father and mother, Riana would help Rio to start his treatment back. He will be massaging course until Rio recovers.

The next day, Rio contacted Yuda and asked him to handle all his work. Rio will be gone for two days and all the schedule of the meeting will be rescheduled after Rio returns.

Rio and Riana left with Mr. Karso, Rio's personal driver. The car is heading out of town. The city was quite far from where they were currently living. It took three to four hours to travel, then they arrived at a house that was quite large and neat.

The car stopped right in front of the house without the fence. Mr. Karso helped Riana move Rio into a wheelchair. The three of them walked slowly towards the terrace of the house.

"Riana, do you remember this house?" rio asked as he raised his head.

"Yes, it's like my house. Is this really my home?" asked Riana nervously. Riana's heart was pounding.

"really. Now, this house will be yours. It's our wedding present. Because when I got married, I didn't give you anything" Rio said as he continued to look towards Riana.

"What do you mean, Mom? I need an explanation" Riana said confused by all this.

"Come in. Later I will tell the story inside," Rio said softly. "Sir Karso, please call Bik Narsih to open the door."

"Good, sir."
