The Resurrection of the Sick Wife (Return of Marisa)
12. Facts about the Atmajaya Family

"Who is he, Risa? Why are you bringing another foreign man into this house? Aren't you kapok too, after being played by that guy, huh?!" snapper Mario.

Marisa took a deep breath before explaining everything to her parents about her old friend.

"Bah, Mah, he's Steven Milano Atmajaya. You guys don't recognize this geeky guy at all?" marisa.

Mario and Amara now look at each other, when they hear the words of the princess.

"Are you Steven? Where have you been all this time? Did Riko send you to California after you graduated from school?" lick Mario.

Amara, who still remembers the attitude and behavior of her daughter's best friend, is now still looking at the young man with a probing gaze.

Slowly Steven swung his legs towards the couple. But just as his steps came to a halt right before them, he was suddenly startled by an impromptu gift from someone.

"Basic, you bad boy! Why did you come to see us again? You can make our daughter cry as much as she wants, because she is waiting for you in front of the house. Did you forget that promise, huh?!" squeal Mario with Steven's ear.

While Steven is now just resigned and grimacing, when feeling the heat that radiates from his ears.

"Isn't he?!" peekik Marisa with a red face that is extinguished, because it restrains embarrassment.

"Sorry, Om! I know if I let you all down, then I want to apologize to you. Please, forgive Steven, Om, Auntie!" pinta Steven with a clear face.

Finally Mario released the jewel, and immediately embraced the son of his best friend.

"alright. This time Om will forgive you, but remember not to make our beloved daughter cry again just because of your false promise." Mario said, patting Steven on the back.

After the hug was released, Steven changed to hug Amara who had been silent since.

"Tante hope you can make Marisa smile again, Stev." whispered Amara right next to Steven's ear.

Steven was immediately stunned, when he heard a whisper from his best friend's mother. The man also tried to digest the words and intentions of the four-headed man.

"Don't forget, you'll have to make amends for your mistakes at a great price, Steven Milano Atmajaya!" firmly Amara with a small ruckus.

"Eat a lot, Stev! Because after this you have to prepare to protect my daughter from someone." Mario teased in between their dinners.

Yes, Amara did deliberately hold Steven to be willing to have dinner with their family. All of that was purposely done because there was something that the woman was planning.

"Of course, Om. Because I also miss Auntie's cooking, which always makes my appetite increase after eating her cooking. So I'm not going to waste this opportunity, to spend all this food." Steven replied with a smile.

Marisa who still enjoys her food, only smiles faintly when she hears the jokes of her parents with her best friend.

'Why are Mom and Dad always so warm to Steven? Is it because Steven is the son of their best friend?' inner Marisa.

After the dinner was over, Amara still asked Steven to stay for a while. Because there was something he was going to tell the young man.

"May?"

Mario shook his head slowly, because he did not want to involve others in the problems faced by his only daughter.

In all honesty Mario and Amara Sudja know who the woman who became a thorn in their daughter's household. Therefore, they do not want to drag someone into their problems.

"Well, Mah? Don't involve Steven! This is my problem, so I want to solve it myself without wanting to involve anyone else." - Marisa.

Yes, at the moment Marisa also does not want to drag Steven. Because the girl also knew, who the young lady was facing was.

"Why, Ris? Why don't you want me to get involved in your problems? Don't you still think of me as a friend?" steven asked as he looked towards Marisa.

Marisa immediately glanced at her parents, so they could give the right reason to the man.

Mario, who understands the code, now immediately turned his brain to give the right answer to the son of his best friend.

"You take it easy, Stev. Later if we need help, surely we will contact you soon." said Mario who tried to convince the young man who is currently still next to their daughter.

Inevitably, Steven finally agreed. Because he also does not want to interfere too much in the affairs of his best friend, let alone it concerns his personal life.

"All right, Om, Auntie. If you need help from me later. InshaALLAH I will always be ready to help you" said Steven who began to resign.

I don't think time has shown at nine o'clock in the evening. Finally Steven decided to go home and will return tomorrow, to pick up Marisa who continued her studies because it was delayed a few months ago.

"Then I say I go home first, Om, Aunt and Risa. Tomorrow morning I'll pick up and drop Marisa off to campus." Steven politely said.

Marisa and her parents nodded their heads. Then they drove Steven up to the porch, and after the car disappeared from behind the gate. The three re-entered the house and continued their plans.

"That?" call Marisa when they get back to the living room.

"Yes, honey." answered Mario.

"Did you know that she was Steven's half-sister?" ask Marisa.

Before answering a question from his daughter, Mario first looked at his wife for approval. And after getting that approval, Mario immediately told everything to their daughter.

"Yes, Honey. He is Steven's half-sister, who was taken in by Riko's young wife Renata, after Naura's passing." explained Mario.

Marisa is still flinching and waiting for another explanation from her father. Because he did not know about the woman at all, especially when he knew that he was one of the heirs of Atmajaya.

"Renata is the ex-lover of Riko, whom she was forced to decide because of her family's matchmaking. But after they had separated for several months, it turned out that the woman had contained the blood of Riko's flesh. While Riko did not know about the pregnancy of the woman, because after receiving the match, Riko did not contact Renata again. And finally they were reunited, before Naura was sick." explained Mario again.

Marisa finally knows what to do after this. Because he also knows, if their age is only four years adrift.

"alright. I know what to do, Dad. And I also have a plan to destroy the snake woman." - Marisa.
