The elegant room was still silenced by silence, still locked by silence, although it had been a while Mr. Darmawan and his wife left the place.
Mr. Mahendra seemed still silent while looking at Raihan sharply. On his face was indeed anger and hatred towards the young man.
Wasn't it! He hated the young man not because of the young man himself, but he hated because Raihan was his son Pak Baskoro, his sworn enemy.
Indeed there is no reason Mr. Mahendra to hate Raihan other than that reason. Another case if the young man is proven to be hiding his daughter.
While Miko did not stare at anyone who was in the room. Not looking at Raihan, not looking at Bayu. He just bowed while focusing on playing his phone.
But it's just a diversion. Who would have thought that his heart was now in a state of uneasiness.
How can his heart not be restless if he becomes the cause of Raihan's relationship with Melinda so broken.
How his heart is not restless if he had previously been at odds with Raihan, even had insulted him which caused Raihan to be expelled from his job, at that time.
Miko wasn't afraid of Raihan. He was only worried that the two things above were used because of his hindrance to return to Aira. While she learns that Raihan is her cousin Aira's older sister.
How will he go back to Aira if Raihan gets in the way?
Please note that since Melinda's death, Miko intends to return to Aira. More precisely re-establish their relationship that had been cut off.
But there were certainly many obstacles that he had to cross. A feud between his family and the Aira family. The matter that happened between him and Raihan, which could be a huge barrier to him returning to Aira.
Not to mention he had to face Aira who was definitely furious at him. To declare it back to him quickly would definitely be difficult anyway.
Moreover, he did not care about his existence. Even spoiled with Bayu in front of him which makes him jealous.
I don't know, he doesn't know for sure, has Aira been dating Bayu?
"If you may know, what purpose did you two come to my place for?" suddenly Raihan asked who made the silence instantly break, the silence instantly collapsed.
Making Miko's daydream instantly fall apart. To the extent that he stopped playing his HP, continued to stare sharply at Raihan.
"Is it something to do with Viola?" raihan continued to remain in a quiet mode.
"Where is my daughter you're hiding?" asked Mr. Mahendra directly as if he did not want to mince words.
"You're accusing or asking?" Raihan asked back.
"Jawab, don't beat around the bush!" furious Mr. Mahendra half snapped. "Where are you hiding my daughter?"
"Why do you ask me that?" Raihan is still circling. "Do you think I know your daughter? And... Why are you so sure that your daughter is the same as me?"
"You are Viola's friend" said Mr. Mahendra in a cold tone. "So, she must have gone to your house after running away from home!"
"Are Viola's friends just me," explained Raihan wanted to test Mr. Mahendra's response, "until you're sure that Viola went straight to my house after escaping?"
"Viola has not had many friends since he lived with us" said Mr. Mahendra still trying to contain anger, so his voice was cold. "She has only 2 friends, you and your sister."
"At first we did not think that you were brothers" continued Mr. Mahendra, "at first we did not think that you were Baskoro's son too."
"Why is the world so narrow?" mister Mahendra lamented in his frustration. "Why can my daughter have friends with the children of my enemies?"
After complaining with annoyance at the fate that had happened, then he continued his words covered in anger that was about to explode.
"We've contacted your sister, and it turns out that my daughter isn't in your father. Now you're the only person Viola is sure to meet, who we know lives separate from your father's house...."
"Now...., do you still want to avoid if Viola is with you?"
The last sentence that Mr. Mahendra said his voice was so pressed and mixed with a cold tone.
★☆★☆
Raihan did not immediately answer or respond to Mr. Mahendra's question. For a moment he looked at Bayu who was also staring at him.
While Miko, what the young man did was just silence, as if just listening to the conversation. As if you do not want to participate in the talk or comments.
While Mr. Mahendra is clearly impatient for Raihan's attitude which is like slow to respond to his question. Seemed very angry already on his old face but still looked handsome.
"Jawab, Young Man! Don't play games with me!" snapped Mr. Mahendra in a loud voice.
So loud snapping Mr. Mahendra makes Miko and Bayu a little jolted in shock. But not with Raihan. He still looked calm, not offended by Mr. Mahendra's rude clasping. He even looked a little smiling.
"Your daughter is indeed in my house," Raihan finally confessed.
Not because he was afraid of the old man. But because he no longer wants to play with the anger of Mr. Mahendra.
"The fuck...!"
Mr. Mahendra immediately stood up from his chair to hit Raihan. At least he wanted to punch the young man in the face or slap him.
Raihan remained calm in his chair. Does not show anything to avoid or for example.
The one who is not calm is Bayu. But he won't hit Mr. Mahendra, let alone hurt him. He was just getting ready to block the actions of Mr. Mahendra who was about to hit Raihan.
But Miko, the son immediately acted. He quickly caught his papa, then calmed his already wrapped heart in anger.
"Quiet, Pa! Do not act here! It's people's territory, Pa, calm down!"
"Why did you suddenly soften up the same bastard huh?" berang Mr. Mahendra is still fiery. "He's been hiding your sister!"
"Well, did you say?!" berang Mr. Mahendra while glancing at Miko. "What if your sister's been fucked by that damn young man?"
"Patience, Pa! Ola won't be okay," Miko kept convincing her father to calm down. "Just calm! Remember, papa's heart is coming out again!"
Hearing Miko remind him of his illness, Mr. Mahendra began to assuage his anger. Then he sat back in his chair with the help of Miko.
★☆★☆
After seeing that her papa had calmed down, then Miko turned to look at Raihan, continuing to ask in a flat tone. But try not to tuck into the hate.
"Is my sister really in your house, Mr Rai?"
He now spoke in a formal style as if to compensate for Raihan's formal attitude.
"True," said Raihan to remain calm and courteous, "your brother is still in my house. And in a state of fine, nothing less than anything."
"Why don't you drive straight to his house?" miko's sight is still flat-tinted. "Even you let stay in your house as if holding it."
"May I tell you a little bit about what happened before Viola was in my house, and why Viola stayed long enough in my house?" raihan said asking permission to reveal something.
"No need to beat around the bush!" snapped Mr. Mahendra began to be provoked again his anger. "Just tell me where your house is, let us take it ourselves!"
"Patience, Pa!" Miko calmed her papa back down. "Let Raihan talk first what to talk about! Papa calm down!"
"Oh!" Mr. Mahendra just grunted in annoyance.
"Please! What do you want to tell me?" Miko turned back to Raihan. "What happened to my sister?"
"After leaving the house, Viola was kidnapped by Melinda's men and her brother" Raihan said calmly.
"What?!"
Not playing surprise, Mr. Mahendra and Miko heard Raihan's words just now. To the point that they jumped out of their seats a little. They stared fixedly at Raihan as if they wanted to make sure Raihan's words were true or a lie.
Hearing Raihan's words just now, they were shocked by 2 things. First, he was shocked to hear that Viola had been kidnapped that night. Second, they were surprised that Melinda was also involved in the kidnapping of Viola.
"Is that what you're saying, Young man?" asked Mr. Mahendra in a cold tone still do not believe.
"Right, sir," said Raihan remained friendly. "I swear I lied. My friend, this Bayu also helped save Viola that night."
"Right, Mr. Mahendra," Bayu said in support. "That night Miss Viola was indeed kidnapped after coming out of her house...."
Then Bayu told him briefly without being asked what happened that night. While Mr. Mahendra and Miko listened without interrupting until Bayu finished telling the story.
"...Fortunately that night we were quick to help Viola," continued Raihan after Bayu finished telling the story. "If we were a little late, maybe Viola would have died that night."
"And just so you know, actually Melinda has twice planned to kill Viola," continued Raihan, "but always failed."
"When is the other plan?" ask Miko wonder.
"When Viola was attacked by some thugs a month ago" Raihan said. "The thugs were Melinda's men and her brother. It was Melinda herself who admitted it in front of Viola while Viola was still held captive by them in a villa."
"Why would Melinda do that?" miko said bitterly.
"Actually the main mastermind is his older brother named Vega," Bayu said as if to inform. "As for Miss Melinda I think she's just being used by Vega."
"Pa, is there a son of Om Darmawan named Vega?" Miko turned to look at her papa. "I know Tristan is a boy Om Darmawan. That's also dead."
"Vega is the biological child of the woman who is Darmawan's affair," said Mr. Mahendra despite his cold tone. "His age is not much different from Tristan, his biological son."
"During this time the boy Darmawan threw abroad," continued Mr. Mahendra. "Because he won't acknowledge Vega as his son."
"But..., what does Vega mean to kill Viola?" ask Miko confused.
"The person's main goal is actually revenge" Raihan said. "He wants to kill all your families, Mr. Mahendra, Mr. Baskoro's family. And it's also definitely Mr. Darmawan's family. Because Mr. Darmawan doesn't recognize him as a child."
Of course neither Raihan nor Bayu wanted to say that Melinda's goal was to kill Viola because she was burned jealous of Viola.
If they revealed that, it would cause a problem that Raihan was not ready to deal with.
Later there will be time for Raihan to reveal that he loves Viola.
After Raihan said so, there were no more responses or questions from Mr. Mahendra or Miko. Then the next shock of the atmosphere silenced by silence and silence.
But shortly afterwards, Mr. Mahendra immediately asked Raihan in a voice still holding anger.
"Where's your house? I want to take my daughter!"
"You don't have to bother coming to my house, Mr. Mahendra," Raihan said. "I'll drive you home myself."
"I hope you keep your word" said Mr. Mahendra in a cold tone. "Don't try playing games with me!"
After saying so, Mr. Mahendra stood up slightly roughly from his chair. A moment of hateful gazing at Raihan, then left the room without saying goodbye to Raihan.
While Miko, without being invited she immediately stood up also from her chair. Before following her papa leaving the room, she stared at Raihan for a moment, continuing Bayu with a gaze that had no idea what he meant. After that, he asked for a break.
After the death of the father and son, Raihan and Bayu were still in the room. Soon they had been engaged in quiet conversation their meeting with the businessmen earlier.
