The Heart of Vania
Is This Fate?

Geck. Geck.

The sound of the room door being knocked on and following a soft voice, "Aunti may enter, Miss?"

"Come, Bi. My room is not locked" I answered with tears.

"Is Miss hurt? Did Auntie's son hurt Miss?" he asked after looking at my face.

Shaking my head, the middle-aged woman approached and took both of my hands, "If she hurts Miss, Aunt as her mother apologizes. Maybe Auntie hasn't been good enough to teach her how to treat girls."

"No, Auntie ... Maybe I'm the one who's outrageous but– is already."

"Is there anything Miss wants to tell you?"

"Sorry Bi, I don't want to tell you anymore and Auntie don't tell anything that Auntie saw today to Brother Litha to Sister-in-law?"

Lidya smiled, "Alright. Aunty will keep her mouth shut" she said, making a gesture of covering the mouth I greeted with a hug.

"Auntie, has Assistant Yan ever loved a woman before?" my question while breaking down the embrace.

"Why did Miss suddenly ask him?" Aunt Lidya draped my long hair that covered part of the face behind the ears.

"She was very sensitive when I touched the doctor. I'm afraid he's really angry. He's never yelled at me before, Auntie."

Aunt Lidya sighed, "Abyan has never been rude to women. Aunty would be very angry if she did that to a woman, whoever that woman is."

"But he yelled at me, even calling me the Moon of Misery in front of my face. How I don't hurt. Is my skin so ugly?" I complain to the mother of the Fooker, let me know if you'll get scolded.

Did I just tell Aunt Lidya that her son had desecrated my virgin lips by force? Ah, no! This will make the relationship between mother and child more distant because it adds to his disappointment. Let me save myself the reason I hit the bird cage earlier.

"really? Auntie will scold him. All his words are not true. Precisely Miss skin is the dream of women– as white as milk, smooth and soft. It is a gift from the Almighty. Abyan's eyes are broken!" the bell touched my arm.

"Don't Bi. Don't say anything to him, he'll hate me even more and tell me the complainant. Don't yes .... "

I pleaded with Aunt Lidya. I don't want him to add any mention as a complainant after the many mentions he's addressed to me.

"Yes, Auntie won't say anything. But Miss has to be confident again with this Miss skin, yeah."

I smiled wryly, considering the cause of Serena Cs against me and the other friends just kept quiet as if to support her. This happened because they were so jealous of my white appearance. It was over but now even funnier, a mature, mature-minded man - that every word that came out of his mouth full of consideration - was charging me like a boy.

If there used to be Brother Litha where I complained when being surrounded by Serena Cs even by hugging it can calm my sadness but now I hesitate to say it. Assistant Yan is someone who means something in the life of Brother Litha and Sister-in-law. Suppose I said honestly, it would make the distance between the three of them and of course force Brother Litha and Brother-in-law in a difficult choice. Ah, I'd better forget that Assistant Yan stole my first kiss. I'm sure if the curse is real, then he'll accept the punishment.

I wanted to spend the afternoon walking down the Capital on a motorcycle I forced Mr. Is to lend him the keys but the Old Man held fast to the rules that Brother-in-law gave him. He insisted on giving the key if there was any agreement from the Young Master. Aih, how could Big Brother-in-law allow me to bring my own motorcycle because his wife must forbid me.

Not lost my mind, I persuaded Aunt Lidya to ask for the keys to the motorbike to Mr. Is. Bibi said he would try to give understanding to Litha, then Mr. Is willing to give up the motor key.

"Miss, come back safe before Mr and Madam come home" Mr. Is said worriedly after I received the key.

"Believe Miss Vania, Mr. Is. I am the guarantee" said Aunt Lidya.

Yea! I cheered with excitement, Aunt Lidya looks like a mother who always puts trust in her daughters by measuring up to where her abilities are.

"Oh yes Miss, can Auntie come to the main gate? Aunty will be waiting for an online taxi there," Aunt Lidya said.

"Where are you going?" ask Mr. Is restless.

"I want to stop by Abyan's apartment."

" What will Aunt do to him?" I am angry in my heart.

"Miss Vania doesn't have to worry, Bibi just wants to have a little chat with her. Aunty promised not to scold him and Mr. Is–" he said as if knowing what I was thinking, then his eyes looked towards the middle-aged man with a smile, "I'll be back safely before the Ladies and gentlemen come home."

"Ck."

Mr. Is grieved and passed away leaving us.

"Do I need to bring you home a serving of Foie Grass and Escargot?" exclaim Aunt Lidya.

Mr. Is turned around, "You know I can't be bribed."

"Who said I would bribe you! I'm just asking if you want a serving of Foie Grass and Escargot?" This time Aunt Lidya's tone of voice was slightly seductive.

Mr. Is clenched his mouth for a while before he softly said "Foie Grass and Escargot from Grey Savanna Restaurant."

Aunt Lidya gave a loud chuckle after the Chief Servant named Isaac turned around and passed with quick steps, then she whispered to me, "Pak Is can not be bribed with anything but– French goose and conch liver dishes, hehehe ...."

My eyes widened and finally laughed following the laughter of Aunt who had not stopped.

.

"Bi, let me take you. Not a taxi yet, is it?" I said in front of the main gate of the Pradipta Family residence.

"Auntie's going to Abyan's apartment."

"I'll take it there, Bi."

"Didn't Miss cry because of the child's bad attitude? Miss must be uncomfortable taking Aunt to her apartment," Aunt Lidya replied hesitantly.

"Why not comfortable? After all the words and events that have passed also cannot be returned ... I'm fine, Bi. Just chill! My heart proved to be strong, not made of glass but of steel. Come on!" shakuku forced him to ride on the motorbike.

Aunt was hesitant at first but she finally agreed I'd drive her after borrowing the helmet at Pak Satpam. In the middle of the trip, we still kept chatting as usual, there was no awkwardness between me and Aunt Lidya.

"Wow! It turns out that he lives in a luxury apartment, Bi," I cried still on a motorbike as we entered the Skylight Apartment area, one of the capital's luxury residences.

"Young Master gave it to her."

"Oh. My brother-in-law is very generous, Bi."

"Not only Young Master, the entire descendants of the Pradipta Family are actually very generous. It's just that in the business world forcing them to be firm and calculating in order to succeed."

"It is fitting that Young Master befriended Brother Litha."

"Stupid is a reflection of ourselves, Miss."

Tak.

I lowered the standard of the motor. We arrived in front of the apartment lobby.

"Bi, just drop the helmet on the guard. I'll pick up after Auntie's business is over, but don't tell Assistant Yan that I picked up Auntie huh. Just say take a taxi online."

"What's not a hassle?"

I shook my head quickly. "Of course not. I'm just walking around for a while until Auntie calls me to pick up, okay?"

Aunt Lidya smiled at me, "Well, can Auntie buy you a meal before we go home?"

"Of course I can. I like to eat! Yeay!" Aunt Lidya laughed at my behavior, "Bi, can I leave you to do something?"

"What's that?"

"Auntie told me to grab Auntie's hair in exchange she said I'm the Month of Misery."

"Huh?"

"If I had done it he would have dodged it but if it was Bibi, he would have resigned, hahaha ... Genuine jambak huh Bi, let my heart be satisfied."

Aunt Lidya was still stunned by my ridiculous request even after I moved away from where she was standing.

I was amazed and acted tacky as I set foot in the most luxurious restaurant on the top floor of the tallest building in the capital. Grey Savanna Restaurant is an upscale restaurant branch from France with a fantastic menu that provides exclusivity for its members, meaning that they can make reservations or dine in only members of the restaurant.

Aunt Lidya nodded, "Auntie saved up just to feed Abyan and his future wife later, but it seemed like that would never happen. Better spend Auntie's savings eating here with you."

We sat at a table overlooking the view of the Capital through barely visible glass, "Huh! Is that as much love as Aunt's child can't find a replacement for the figure of the Doker? Ah,– is his business. I just feel sorry for Auntie."

"Had Aunt thought that the one who would accompany Aunt to chat in the old days was his wife Abyan because she was always busy with Young Master. Sometimes Auntie was sad to think about it because that day Aunt would be alone, but not anymore. Just leave Abyan with his choice, Aunt is not sad because there is already a friend to talk to Auntie."

"I mean Auntie, me?" I point at myself, not believing.

"of course. Aunty is very happy to chat with you, Auntie hopes that if one day Miss gets married, Miss does not forget about Auntie and will spend any time chatting with this old lady."

I'm stunned. Come to think of it, I lost the Mother where I was complaining and Aunt Lidya lost her place to tell stories even though her son was alive, was this fate?"

"If only Miss was older than now and Miss didn't have someone to like, would Aunt Abyan forcibly marry Miss. Love can come along with marriage because Bibi believes Abyan is a very responsible man and can make his wife happy. Unfortunately, Miss still has to go to school and pursue her ideals."

Uhuk.

"Are aunts hallucinating? Ah, I should immediately switch the conversation before Auntie says more no-no."

"Miss! Miss is it okay? Why is it that it suddenly chokes?"

"It's okay, Bi. I don't know why I'm choking? Oh yes Bi, to my knowledge this restaurant can only be used by members and to become a member it must–"

"Must be a noble and rich man."

"Sorry Bi, I don't mean–"

"I mean Miss. Indeed without the support of the Pradipta Family, Mas Sasmita, Iskhak, Prasojo and Bibi themselves will not be able to become members even though we have a lot of money. We can become members including Abyan because we became a family recognized by the late Grand Lady even though it was not officially."

"Oh."

"The heart of the goose and favorite conch of Mr. Is must be purchased from here. This menu is always taken home by the Big Lady if there is a banquet here during her life."

"The heart of the late Great Mistress is very noble. Lucky my brother met her."

I sipped a welcome drink delivered by the waiter while opening the menu book and Aunt Lidya interrupted, "Auntie has grabbed Abyan's hair as requested by Miss."

I was surprised, I didn't think he would do it, "Certainly? Auntie did?"

"Yes, until she screams pain and Auntie let go, hahaha ... The child must indeed be taught a lesson in order to be introspective. All this time many thought arrogance was on Young Master alone, but his assistant was also the same just that he shrewdly hid it."

I laughed and allowed what Auntie said, her arrogance hidden behind her wise-ass attitude. Haha ....

I really enjoyed my time together with Aunt Lidya eating in a luxurious place this afternoon. By accompanying him to chat, I can treat the longing for Mother and Aunt Rima because Aunt Lidya's figure is a combination of Mother and Aunt Rima.

"Sir .." welcome me to hug my brother when they arrive home on the eve of dinner.

"Brother of Litha long ago came home. Where the hell is that? Until I get back from the streets, the two of you haven't come home yet either" I grumbled as I held tightly to Kak Litha's arm and pointed to her brother's belly, "Hey, Ponakan, you cheat! A trip of just three with your mom's dad. This aunt of yours you let yourself drive around in no direction by motor."

Oops.

I kept my mouth shut because I told him I left the house this afternoon

"Lho, didn't you learn to drive? Why go for a motorcycle?" asked Brother-in-law in shock mixed with wonder.

"Hhhh ... Everything is messed up, brother, anyway I better not learn to drive a car than taught Assistant Yan. I can also still be a hero with a motor, even faster, not to get stuck."

I finally decided not to lie about me getting out on the bike without his permission.

"You must have been so presumptuous and impolite that Assistant Yan was offended" my brother pointed out.

"Son Litha don't accuse me. I hit a bird cage at the back farm. I got the wrong stomp, it should be the brakes but the ones I stepped on the gas," I argued.

"How does Abyan teach you that you can't tell which gas is the brake?" ask Brother-in-law a little emotion.

"Maas ...."

Brother Litha touched Brother-in-law's shoulder to control her raised voice as I was a little surprised. Only then was he already angry? What if he knows the real thing?

"Sorry Lith," Brother-in-law apologized to his wife, then turned to me, "Sorry Nia, I didn't mean to scold you. I'm just upset Abyan didn't teach you well."

I shook my head slowly and Brother-in-law rubbed my head, "Nobody can hurt my beloved sister, Abyan though. Relax, you'll still be taught how to drive until you can."

Uh.

"No need, Brother. I don't want to" I said quickly.

"You're giving up? Not ashamed of this?" Sister-in-law showed SIM A and SIM C in my name.

I was unable to say anything when I saw the two cards in Brother-in-law's hand. My eyes automatically opened wide so happy. He really loves me as sincerely as heart ... Wanna find out where sister-in-law is so considerate like this?

"If it wasn't your brother who took care of it I wouldn't have agreed. What-what's the SIM shooting at? Cih, I just get it with the right path," said Kak Litha sitting himself on the sofa, Brother-in-law who helped him just chuckled amusedly.

"Tomorrow you keep learning. Litha and I will be at home with you" said Sister-in-law, sitting next to her

"Why should Assistant Yan anyway, who taught me?" askaku.

"He's all I believe in, Nia."

"Ck."

Suddenly Mr. Is came followed by three other servants behind him, their hands full of all kinds of boxes and tentengan, "Mrs, where will this be placed?"

"Engg ... This was where Mr. Is used to be."

My eyes were round, "What did Brother Litha buy this much chocolate? Keep cupcakes, ice cream, bread, pudding, and pastries– Jeez! This is all my favorite ...."

"Yes, this is our favorite, Nia! The shape is funny and definitely tastes good," said Kak Litha with eyes sparkling with pleasure.

Sister-in-law just shook her head, not understanding the contents in her wife's head. Maybe he thought his wife would shop for clothes, bags, shoes, jewelry or anything else like most women. But I know for a fact that even if she wasn't pregnant she would rather satisfy her appetite than her passion for fashion.

"But, ma'am, the sugar content in this food–"

"Ih, Mr. Is. Give me a little leeway. I've been eating healthy food at home all this time, besides my husband bought it all."

Mr. Is glanced at Sister-in-law asking for an explanation but the tall and sturdy man who was strong could only smile wrongly, "My son who wants it," he said.

"Have some been handed out in the back, Mr Is?" asked Kak Litha to stop the glare of Mr. Is.

"Here you go, madam."

"Oh yeah, where's Aunt Lidya? I didn't see him from earlier?" ask my brother again.

"So afternoon he went to Abyan's apartment in an online taxi. The business with his son today seized his energy until he asked permission to rest for a while."

"It turns out Aunt Lidya has lightened my work" said Sister-in-law.

"meaning?" asked Brother Litha looked confused, just like me.

"I don't need to talk to Abyan because I've been represented by Aunty" replied Brother-in-law as he stood up and reached out to his wife to help him stand up, "Yuk, change clothes ... Make yourself comfortable."

"Nia, eat first what you want. But remember, don't make you full because we're going to dinner" said Sister-in-law again after her wife stood up and would move into the room.

"Well, Brother Litha didn't eat this with me?" I showed you a cute cupcake.

"He has another appatizer to prioritize ... Ow!"

Brother Litha pinched firmly her husband's stomach, but was instead reciprocated with a friendly embrace and a little fondling. I laughed happily to see it. Their home life was very harmonious, just like my mother's father.

Just remind you, Sis, when Assistant Yan's hair was grabbed by her mother in the previous novel.
