The Shackles of Love of the Substitute Woman
Chapter 42
After Vira's funeral, Luis drove home in a different car to Vina. He also takes Nek Nina as Rafael's nanny later.
Now that Vina was home, she fell silent when she saw her husband holding a baby.
"Whose son is that?" asked Vina with angry eyes.
"This is Rafael, Vira's son." Answer Luis.
"What?! Mas, why did you bring the baby here?" asked Vina who did not accept Luis's decision to bring Rafael to this house.
"Rafael has no family and I as his Uncle have a responsibility to take care of him." Luis replied firmly.
"Can't, I don't want to put that kid in our house. Anyway we can leave him in the orphanage, why do we bother to take care of him." Vina protested firmly.
Luis immediately gave Rafael to Nek Nina, he immediately told the woman to go into the room that had been prepared.
Slowly Luis began to walk towards Vina, a sharp and cold gaze made the hair on Vina stand up.
"If you don't like Rafael's whereabouts, you can leave this house." Luis said without hesitation.
"What's? You kicked me out for the kid?" vina asked with a sad and annoyed look on her eyes.
"Yes, he's still a kid and can't afford to live alone out there. While you're an adult, I'm sure you can take care of your life out there." Answer Luis.
"I don't want to, the one who should be out of this house is that bastard. And besides you already have a daughter, why do you even take care of other people's children. What if Graceful is sad?" ask Vina.
"You'd better watch your mouth, in this world there's never an illegitimate child." Reply Luis who happened to just leave.
An irritated Vina can only hold herself back, she is afraid that if Luis finds out the truth about Rafael's biological father.
"I have to quickly get rid of the child from here" said Vina who was full of emotion.
Maria who had just come directly to Vina, she looked at her daughter-in-law with a condescending look.
"Why, you're so scared when you see Luis carrying the kid?" maria asked with a look of eyes and a smile that humbled Vina.
"What does Mama mean? Mama better not interfere in my affairs, anyway for what I'm afraid to see the arrival of the child." Vina replied, attacking Maria.
"Truly, I am a person who has lived in this world for a long time. And I know you're hiding something and sooner or later what you're hiding will be revealed." Said Maria who wanted to scare Vina but unexpectedly, the woman looked even more tense.
"There's nothing I'm hiding, Mama don't just talk. What if Mas Luis had heard Mama's terrible words, then he misunderstood me." Said Vina who immediately gave a reprimand to her in-laws.
"If you're innocent or you're not hiding something, then what's the fear for?" ask Maria.
Vina went into the room where Rafael was, she saw Nek Nina sitting and put Rafael to bed.
"Miss Vina," said Nek Nina who saw Vina enter the room suddenly.
"Why can Luis take this kid to my house?" ask Vina who is sure that Nek Nina knows why Luis brought Rafael here.
"It's a request from Miss Vira before she dies" Nina replied with a lowered face.
"Reason, I don't want to know. You take that bastard out of my house, "go away Vina in a high tone.
"But Mr. Luis has agreed to house Rafael here. Anyway this is your niece, can Miss Vina please let your niece stay out there unattended?" ask Nina.
"I don't care if the boy lives where, most importantly, he can't live here. And one more thing, I'm gonna give you a lot of money but you're gonna have to get that kid out of my house." Said the angry Vina.
"Who allowed you to drive Rafael out of my house," suddenly Luis' voice rang out behind Vina, the woman with a feeling of fear and surprise instantly turned her body slowly.
"Mas, what are you doing here?" ask Vina.
"I should have asked like that, what are you doing? Why did you kick Rafael out of my house?" asked Luis with a cold look.
"I don't mean to expel Rafael, after all he's my niece where I might have the heart to expel my own niece." Reply Vina with a heart that continues to beat fast.
"Then what did you say just now? You want to drive Rafael away." Luis said that made Vina instantly speechless.
"Vina, if you dare to drive Rafael out of this house. I won't hesitate to kick you out of this house and one more, you better not try to hurt Rafael." Said Luis giving a warning to Vina.
"But, why are you defending the boy more than me? I'm your wife, while Rafael? Even he has no blood relation to you but you defend him as much as you defend your own son." Said Vina who was upset with Luis' attitude.
"From now on Rafael is my son" replied Luis, to Vina's surprise.
"What do you mean?" vina asked with perfectly rounded eyes, he could not accept Luis raising Rafael as his son.
"I adopted Rafael as my son and now he has legally become my son, and you! Don't you dare drive me out or hurt my son, if that happens you'll pay the price." Luis immediately gave a stern warning to Vina.
"What about Grace, she's your son too." Say Vina with teary eyes.
"Then what is the case, I will still give the same affection to Anggun and Rafael. So there is no need for anyone to be in trouble anymore" Luis said.
Then Luis asks Vina to immediately come out of Rafael's bedroom, an angry Vina can only curse Vira who has left.
"Basar Vira fucking, want you dead or alive. You've always made my life miserable, why did you leave your son to Luis. Damn Vira, I hope you're tortured in hell..!"
