The Invited Heart Guest
CHAPTER 38

Diko and Riana are on their way to Budhe Retno's house. They just drove Diko's family to the airport to return to Jakarta this afternoon.

But Diko and Riana did not come home, they will stay one more night at Budhe Retno's house before noon tomorrow home to Jakarta.

Actually Riana was still thinking about Tia's talk last night. But he did not dare to ask that to Diko directly.

From Diko's treatment of her, Diko looks good. But indeed the level of intimacy shown by Diko is not much.

Riana has not been able to feel any affection like a couple from Diko. He kept trying to think positively, maybe because all this was sudden and made Diko need time to grow feelings in him.

Shortly after, the two of them arrived at Budhe Retno's residence.

Budhe Retno looks busy in the kitchen. While Pakdhe Heri and Bintang are in the warehouse to find a barbeque tool that has been unused for months.

"This afternoon we burn yaaa" said Budhe Retno to Riana and Diko who were peering towards the kitchen.

"Siapp Budhe" they answered compactly.

"Yo wis Mas Diko sit down first, or want to fall in the room?" tanyanya while her hands still continue to stir the chicken that is in ungkep.

"Sih, make Mas Diko coffee first" he continued to rule Asih, ARTnya who had just entered the kitchen.

"Yaudah Budhe, I'm ahead first yes" he said.

"Oh yes, Riii, you are sleeping in the lower room just so you don't bother going up and down, your belongings are moving in the upper room down" shouted Budhe Retno still from her kitchen.

Budhe Retno is like that, always excited at home. His voice always filled the corner of the room.

"Yes Budhee" Riana replied from the living room.

"Mas, I took my things above first huh. You want to rest in the room?" he said to the newly-emerged Diko.

"I'm here" Diko replied as she sat on the sofa in the living room.

Riana directly climbed the stairs to the second floor. He packed his things that were still left behind yesterday.

When Diko was relaxing enjoying a television show, suddenly a woman entered the house of Budhe Retno.

A tall woman, with undulating blonde hair wearing a navy-colored knee-length dress.

Diko tried to smile kindly at the woman. He thought this must have been someone who was close to Budhe Retno, because it went straight into the house without knocking first.

"You're Riana's husband?" ask the woman to guess.

"Yes" Diko replied politely with a smile.

"Ooooh, waww" he said.

"Known, I'm Dira" he continued, extending a hand.

Diko welcomed while introducing herself.

Dira immediately sat on the sofa and removed the sunglasses that he had been using.

"Where do you know Riana?" ask Dira to the point.

Diko's heart wondered. He doesn't know who this Dira is.

"Hmm, you know" Diko replied still trying to smile.

"Ooh gituu's. Oh yes, sorry yes yesterday I could not attend because there is work" said Dira.

Again Diko tried to be polite and friendly.

"Eh, Dir" said Riana who had just stepped down from the second floor.

Dira immediately turned his head and greeted Riana.

"Eh Ri, congratulations.. I'm sorry I had a job yesterday so just had time to say it now" he said while hugging Riana.

Riana tries to be friendly with Dira in front of Diko. Although he knows the true heart of Dira who is not happy because Riana was married first than him.

Then Dira went straight to the kitchen to meet Budhe Retno.

Riana who understood Diko was confused then whispered, "The daughter is aunty Risna".

Diko's lips immediately form the letter O while the mangosteen.
