The Heart of Vania
The Pain of Tricking

Maybe because of the influence of hormones pregnant women who make lazy or too obedient with her husband, Litha felt at home in the room.

Fortunately there was Aunt Lidya who made me not feel lonely when my sister was resting. We tell each other anything, especially Area C is directly adjacent to the eastern part of City A. So it is very natural that many things are connected when we chat, even sometimes Mr. Is - Head of Servants - joined in the chat.

Aunt Lidya really likes my tea, when in fact the tea is a mixture of all tea brands sold in City A and I mixed it into one with a dose of approx. This time I will make it in large numbers - for all the residents in the Pradipta Family residence - because soon Brother-in-law will be home with his assistant.

Scroll at a glance the two grown men who had just returned home. Assistant Yan always stopped by for a moment every time he picked up Brother-in-law to leave and go home from work because Aunt Lidya lived here. Both of them are tired of working but do not look a single bad on themselves, especially– Assistant Yan who walks behind Kaka Ipar. Haisshh ... What is this thought?

"Sorry Bi, there's something I need to finish today, so come home late" Brother-in-law said.

"It's okay, sir," replied Aunt Lidya.

"Is my wife asleep?" asked Sister-in-law while sitting on the sofa and loosening her tie.

"Looks not yet. Brother Litha is preoccupied with watching movies about wild animals in the wild," I replied that emerged from the kitchen followed by Mr. Is from behind carrying a tray containing a teapot and several cups.

"What movie?"

"Documentary film about the life of lions in the savannah desert of Africa. Kak Litha said the male lion in the film reminded him of someone who went berserk. And thanks to her rampage it managed to get her pregnant."

Pppffhttt ...

The sound of stifled laughter echoed within the room along with the shakes of the shoulders of those who lowered their heads.

"Don't be mad at me, Sister-in-law. I just continued what Brother Litha said this afternoon, where to say it while smiling to myself again. Ckckck .." I said cuek while pouring tea into cups.

Big Brother-in-law's eyes widened wide patting his eel, "Gosh!"

Haha ...

I looked back at Assistant Yan, he looked a little away to receive a seemingly serious phone call.

"What's the matter until he takes the call very seriously?" my question is in my heart.

"Nia, when did you get back to your school?" asked Brother-in-law who stopped my attention to her assistant.

"I came back at the graduation ceremony, brother." I answered while offering her a cup of tea.

"You're not in school?" ask Brother-in-law again after sipping tea.

While I was still pouring tea into another cup for Aunt Lidya, Assistant Yan and Mr. Is. We were busy chatting, forgetting that there was Madam Pradipta who was left alone in the room.

"I've already finished my final exam, my grade must be good and passed. Besides, I told the homeroom teacher that I was asked by the President of Pradipta Corp. to accompany his wife in recovery. Of course I'm allowed, who would dare to refuse the Young Master's word."

Puked.

"You!" hardik Sister-in-law with a stifled voice, I replied with a small smile for successfully using her name for my personal interests.

"Well! It's up to you," said Brother-in-law giving up, sipped again the tea, "Sir Is, the tea is good."

"Miss Vania who poked her tea leaves, sir," said Mr. Is.

"Miss Vania is indeed good at concocting tea leaves from various tea products with the right dose. The tea made me addicted, lucky Miss Vania does not mind making it if this old woman wants to drink tea," said Aunt Lidya while sipping the aroma of tea.

"Noh ... Auntie don't praise me too much. My head is immediately enlarged. Didn't Aunt see it?" my gura that was greeted with the naughtiness of Aunt Lidya and Mr. Is, only Sister-in-law throttled me.

"Ray ..." call Assistant Yan tense.

Oh yes, sometimes I myself am confused how the concept of Assistant Yan calls between Brother-in-law and my brother. He called Brother-in-law directly on behalf of Kak Litha's orders because they were close friends since college, while he called my sister with the formal name of Madam.

"Yes," he replied without turning to Assistant Yan.

"News from Iptu Andika that Ramona just died."

Brother-in-law directly put down her cup and stood up, "When?"

"Around 9 o'clock. His remains are being examined by police before being buried tomorrow morning."

Brother-in-law looks riled up and I don't like to see her. What's he messing up? He's a criminal who attempted the kidnapping and murder of which his victim was his own wife. Brother-in-law should think more about his wife's feelings if he knew Mr. Sas was the victim of the incident.

"It's good that he died. Is Brother-in-law sad to hear the news?" my sinirku sharp while drinking tea.

"It! Facing slightly! It's sad news!" Brother-in-law's voice began to rise.

"Heh– Sad news for his family and relatives, but not for me. That's good news, though," I put the cup on the table.

"Look at you, Nia!"

"Why should I keep talking to the man who wants to kill my brother and my niece? Don't dictate my feelings!" my reply was fierce with a voice that was no less high.

"I won't compromise when it comes to my brother. Even if you're my brother-in-law or Young Master, I'm not afraid."

Aunt Lidya, Assistant Yan and Pak Is were in an awkward situation when I started arguing with Brother-in-law.

"I don't know him, unlike Brother-in-law who incidentally is his former lover. I know him only as the younger brother of the victim who almost took his life. Not one life but two! And because of his obsession with Sister-in-law, Pak Sas had to sacrifice his life to protect Kak Litha. Not too much right, if I expect him to get the punishment? Even he died I don't mind, even good again– because if he lives who guarantees he won't harm Kak Litha again."

Check Mat.

I pushed Brother-in-law to the point of not being able to return my words. Whether he gets angry or not is none of my business!

I saw Brother-in-law clenching both palms tightly so that his emotions did not explode. His jaw had hardened, revealing veins around the neck.

"Miss ... secure your voice. The lady can hear it."

Yan's assistant tried to put a damper on the situation, of course .. he was, Young Master Pradipta's public defender, but I wouldn't be disinclined by him either when it came to my brother

"When do you want to hide the facts from Brother Litha? Waiting for him to know by himself? What Brother-in-law thought Brother Litha would be fine if a year, two years or ten new years were told. We just delay the pain, not reduce– and it is not impossible that this will only increase the pain," my son with a volume of sound that has been high note.

Sister-in-law massaged her forehead, "Nia, I just don't want Litha to be sad if she finds out Mr. Sas died. I'm afraid his sadness will affect the baby in his stomach."

"Although Mr. Sas means a lot to him, Litha's sister is not as petty as it dissolves herself in grief that will affect the condition of the baby."

Without a pair of ears listening to our conversation from earlier. His face was already soaked with tears, while holding his stomach he tried to deny, "Be– is really what I just heard?"

Ouch. Finished already ....

All eyes were focused on the pregnant woman, misbehaving and stuttering to talk, especially Brother-in-law. His gaze was very pleading for Brother Litha not to misunderstand.

"Ja– so Mr Sas is dead?– When?" asked Litha to cry.

"Sa– darling, I–"

Sister-in-law tried to explain but Litha Kadung was disappointed and hurt, so she turned her body and walked towards the room quickly.

"LITHA! AARRGHGHH... HOW'THIS? BECAUSE OF YOUR LOUD VOICE LITHA SO KNOW NOW!" brother-in-law shouted at me.

"Well! What care! Is this my fault?"

"Until however long Brother-in-law delays the fact, Kak Litha's reaction will remain the same," I cuek left Brother-in-law by following Brother Litha's steps, I turned my head, "But, if Sister-in-law accuses me of the cause, I will take responsibility so that Brother Litha does not get angry with you."

"Sad. So confident of you!"

Brother-in-law rebuked again but not as hard as before and I didn't care at all. I kept up with my sister, "Thousands of times you rebuked me won't make Brother Litha's heart soften on you, unless you lower your ego."

.

.

.

Chequek.

"Sister, can I come in?"

Brother Litha was silent, still as unwilling as she was at the edge of the bed.

"Silent brother means you can come in and the first answer happens," I said forcing my way in and sat down next to him, "Sorry, Brother. We didn't dare tell you before."

"It must be because of your Brother-in-law's orders, right?" cynical Brother Litha confirmed her sentence to me, then she wiped away the tears without looking at Brother-in-law, "I don't want to see you. Just sleep in the other room."

"Lith, don't do this. You know, I can't separate my sleep with you," whined Sister-in-law like a boy but Brother Litha didn't pester her, her tears just kept flowing.

I understand his feelings at this moment. His heart must have been very painful. Suddenly Kak Litha's moaning grew louder while tightly hugging her stomach.

"It ... Sister-in-law just come out first." I coded with my eyes to get Sister-in-law out.

"Eh! How dare you me–"

"Come on Ray, give the lady some time. Mr. Sas is the closest person to Madam besides you. It must not be easy to accept that Mr. Sas is no more." Assistant Yan's voice appeared and squeezed Brother-in-law's shoulders along with Aunt Lidya's nod.

After Brother-in-law and Assistant Yan came out of the room, I tried to give my brother understanding which during pregnancy became more sensitive.

Looking for a moment at Aunt Lidya who was standing behind me, then I grabbed onto Kak Litha's wet hands, "Sister ... Forgive us."

"You guys are so brave."

"Sister-in-law has his reasons. He did not want to make Kak Litha sad with this kind of condition. Sister-in-law is afraid of anything happening with her wife and child. Understand his position as husband, brother." I sighed for a moment, setting the tone of the voice as low as possible but still clearly heard, "When Kak Litha has not been declared to have passed the critical period. Sister-in-law looks lifeless. His hair was messy, his face was tangled, his appearance was shabby, his gaze was blank, he was spoken to not connect. Only Litha, Litha, was Litha in his mind. No sleep, no drinking nor eating, his breath stinks when talking–"

"It! Don't be so rude as to call your sister-in-law."

I chuckled, "Sister-in-law is like a madman waiting for Brother Litha to go through a critical period. He was just about to change his clothes and clean up after Litha was transferred to the hospital room."

Litha's cheeks met red, "Why did you just say it now that Mas Rayyendra was all you were talking about?" tanyanya slow.

It works's. My hyperbole sentence could at least reduce Kak Litha's grief and she also began to be given understanding.

"He forbade me to tell Brother how he was at that time. Brother-in-law, you want to always look perfect in the eyes of the woman he loves so much. Afraid his wife turned to seek perfection in another man– as long as Brother knew that night I heard her farting. It seems like Brother-in-law caught a cold, it turns out that the sound and smell of a Young Master's fart is the same as ours."

"Geez, Nia!" Brother Litha pinched my stomach until I complained of pain.

"Don't tell him what I said just now, brother. Later my allowance will be reduced. Uh yes, sister .. there is one more secret. This is only known to Sister-in-law, but promise after I tell you, don't be angry with Brother-in-law anymore."

"When have you been his supporter?" litha asked, suspicious.

"Haha ... I'll be supporting Sister-in-law as long as she loves Litha, but if she hurts you, I'll be her biggest enemy."

Brother Litha smiled at my words, "Tell me, what secret?"

"Pak Sas is Assistant Yan's uncle and Aunt Lidya's brother."

"WHAT!?!"

Brother Litha was completely shocked until her body was pulled backwards. He looked at Aunt Lidya, "Right, Bi?"

Aunt Lidya nodded slowly.

"How is this?– Because of protecting me, I made Assistant Yan and Aunt lose–"

Kak Litha's tears flowed back after learning of the family relationship between Pak Sas and Assistant Yan and Aunt Lidya. There was guilt piercing his heart.

"Well, back crying again ...."

"Don't feel the slightest bit guilty, ma'am. That was his destiny line. We accepted it sincerely, just that if Madam was guilty like this would make us condone her departure."

Aunt Lidya approached Brother Litha and gently rubbed her shaken back in tears, "Be healthy and happy with Young Master and Little Young Master, Madam. Mr. Sas will be happy there, too" said Aunt Lidya as she unraveled her embrace.

"I'm sorry, Bi," said the pregnant woman, looking down.

"Watch a replacement Aunt Mr. Sas yes, if the Madam needs something. Don't be shy."

"Aunt ...."

Brother Litha hugged Aunt Lidya for quite a while, spilling all the sadness in her heart.

"I'll call Brother-in-law now. Litha's sister isn't angry, is she?" I said standing out of the room to meet the restless Young Master instead of playing.

.

.

.

"Darling .. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hide it. I'm just afraid that you're too sad while your maternity day is near." Sister-in-law kneels before her.

Brother Litha shook her head slowly, "Mas should have told me. As bitter as any honesty is better than lies."

"Sister-in-law doesn't lie, just delays telling. Brother-in-law never said that Mr. Sas didn't die, did he?" selorohku.

Brother Litha glanced at me sharply, a warning sign that I was too on the side of Sister-in-law, in her breath for a moment, "Then did Ramona know how? I heard earlier that he was just–"

"He has gone to the afterlife" I said spontaneously cutting his sentence.

Plaque.

Aunt Lidya smacked my butt slowly, perhaps angered by what I said but she also nodded as if agreeing with what I said. Obviously, because her brother was the victim of the act the woman did not know the lucky.

"Bless good, Nia," said Litha to me, "When Mas?" ask her to Sister-in-law.

"Just now."

"Good words are for good people only" I chanted.

It seemed that all were astonished by my apology, not least Assistant Yan who continued to pretentiously advise, "Don't keep hatred in heart. Even if it hurts, letting go of hate is a relief."

Oi! Who has the right to control how I feel? Did he not feel the pain of his own uncle's life being forcibly taken? I was really upset and as I passed out of the room, "Yes, I'll try. Because letting go of hate is easier than loving someone."

Pppffttt ...

I could hear the sound of laughter being held back, who didn't belong because I turned my back on them all.

It's smart that you play words.

I stopped my steps in the doorway and turned around to confirm my guess as to who the owner of the voice accusing me was good at playing the word.

"of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been elected Chairman of OSIS at the school. Don't feel insinuated Yan– Assistant I meant earlier was the crazy woman who almost killed my brother and nephew for a love she couldn't let go of. If Assistant Yan feels yes– why not just let go? Don't get crazy like him. Cc, ... I feel sorry for Aunt, her only son turned out to be thinking only of his own feelings."

"It! Polite bit! Respect the older people. Watch your mouth!" Brother Litha is angry and warns me to maintain good manners.

"It's okay, Madam. What Miss said is true. Abyan alone is stubborn if told," Aunt Lidya confirmed my words.

"Heh. Who told to dictate what other people feel, if yourself also do not want to be dictated his feelings," I said a sharp glance at the shady-eyed man then turned to Brother-in-law who had been holding back her laughter, "Tonight Brother-in-law did not go to bed with Brother Litha. I'm responsible for what I did, right? At least– Sister-in-law can now be a little calmer."

I knew I was wrong to offend and interfere with Assistant Yan's personal life, but that was all because he first disturbed my pain with sage advice. I'm heartbroken and I won't be able to live until Brother Litha is also the death toll for the incident. I have lost enough of one sister and do not want to lose another sister's soul, then why lightly he said to let go of this pain. What the fu*ck! Go to the hell, man!

"You just found out I'm good at wordplay, huh? Even though I was bullied in High School but I could master all students at Junior High School. You want to argue with me? Don't dream!" I murmured while walking to my room.

"Miss," called Aunt Lidya as I opened the room door.

"Yes, Bi."

"Auntie's sorry that Abyan offended Miss."

"If she wants to apologize then she should take the initiative, not Auntie ... But Auntie don't worry, I was also carried away by emotions. Why is everyone still being nice to that woman? Obviously he did it."

"Auntie understands how you feel because Auntie also feels like that," Aunt Lidya said to my surprise, "Psst .. Don't tell anyone Miss, Auntie is also grateful that she's dead," whisper after looking to the left.

My eyes widened in shock, not expecting me to be able to have the same thought as the mother of the wise man just now. Without excuse I hugged her and said, "Thank you, Bi for not forcing me to be kind."

"Because Miss is kind, why do I need to be forced again" he rubbed my back.

Ah, while I missed Mom and Aunt Rima's embrace, God gave me a replacement even if only temporarily.
