The Temptation of the Desire of the Stepchild
CHAPTER 51: RESTLESSNESS

Nita sniffed the delicious smell of cooking when her dream of eating ice cream began to fade. He opened his eyes and looked at the window with a shabby blue mini-curtain waving in the wind. Nita got up and sat down to collect her life and looked at the room, where the wall paint chipped and the stuffy smell of the room was so obvious.

After searching, the smell of cooking came from the kitchen. Nita wears flip-flops and is flabbergasted at Rama who carries a plate containing fried fish that still looks hot. He grimaced as he looked at the simple kitchen like a broken ship.

"Nita .... " Rama with sparkling eyes. "Quick, one wake up! I happen to be making this all for you!"

"So tell him, it's all for Om, right?" devan said as Rama stopped in front of him.

Nita looked at her papa and smiled as papa began to actively speak again. Nita approached and crouched down in front of papa, and held papa's knee. He looked at his father gratefully, his father wearing shorts and sitting in a wheelchair with a ready infusion. "Would Papa be alone?"

"Can dong, you do not remember Papah ever spent two fish bawal bakar without rice."

"Atha remember, Papah."

"You remember too, don't you? Back when you were little we used to play to Rama's place, when Papah still had a job with Om Sergey. You played with Rama, remember?" devan asked in a soft tone.

Nita glanced sideways, looking for a small visual mas in her brain memory. He shook his head as the visual was full of white mist. "Atha doesn't remember, Pah."

"Nita ever played with me? I don't remember?" Rama guessed what Nita's face looked like as a child, why she didn't remember anything either.

"Let's eat, Om. I'm hungry." Rama put a clean plate on a wooden cot, in a traditional kitchen without tiles. "We'll just eat here, it looks good."

Nita suppressed the embarrassment and her heart beat even faster. He pushed the wheelchair near the couch. From the kitchen, Nita can monitor the mattress where Moses slept, under the mattress covered with mats because the black tiles feel cold.

"Let me get a plate" Rama said as he passed by Nita. He blinked his eyes until the woman became misbehaved.

"Rama can cook, you don't have to be tired anymore, son." Devan whispered to Nita who had just taken off her flip-flops, her daughter went up to the cot and sat down cross-legged. She was happy her daughter laughed as if she had a new toy.

"He's got a resto, Pah. The cooking must be delicious!" whispered Nita while glancing at Rama from a distance. Rama looks very charming when taking the plate

from the plate rack.

"Cumbers, makeshift. This is not bad," said Rama when just sitting on the couch and staring in wonder at the two people who seemed to laugh.

Rama was so calm as long as he could be with Nita, although when alone he became reminded of his papa. Is papah going to look for him?

"Rama, don't daydream." Nita clapped Rama's hand as the young man only glanced towards the rice he had just taken.

"It's for you, I ate it before." Rama with a gentle look at Nita.

"Eating together is more delicious, let alone this is the result of your lure." Nita looked at the papa

who had touched the rice and fried fish by hand, after washing their hands on the cobokan of water in the bowl.

"All right." Rama laughed in his heart. It's like a husband makes a living for his wife! Which favor of God do I deny ?

"Bah, Rama Pinter, can get a big fish. It's almost 1 kg." Nita praised Rama while trying to separate the fish from the thorns, using a spoon fork. Of course, Rama endured the embarrassment while smiling with his lips tightly coiled.

"He looks like Sergey's good at fishing. I always got one, two fish at most. But, Sergey can get a minimum of 5 tails. Too bad I haven't seen him."

"Rama, do you have a lot of thoughts? Eat first. Moses is awake soon." Nita seemed sensitive to the change of Rama's expression. He has not had time to tell papah, especially about the contract marriage with Sergey. I don't know, later what papah reaction if he knows, he maintains the condition of papah because it's a doctor's advice.

"What did you do to Nathan, until he got mad at you? Nathan when it's not that easy being mad at someone?" Sergey looked at his best friend's son enthusiastically.

"Father, Nita would have said, Rama hit the car Kak Nathan and Kak Nathan did not accept and then kidnap Rama."

"Crashed?" Rama cut Nita's words. He squinted and Nita looked at him sharply while occasionally winking, perhaps Nita flickering.

"I don't" Rama defended himself.

"You must have forgotten, Rama!" Nita nodded her head repeatedly as her papa looked at Rama. He hoped Rama would cooperate, even though he had to lie to Papah.

"Have finished your food first." Devan ate and started to pensively.

Devan remembers Stef, so he has to go to Stef to talk about his arranged marriage to Nathan. Devan and Stef have made each other a promise of Nathan's time in Stefanie's womb.

From the time he adopted Nathan, Devan has been attentive to all of Nathan's needs and guided him wholeheartedly. He does not want Nita - the only child obtained from the results of the baby tube, precisely match with others who do not know the original habits.

Devan let out a long sigh of remembrance with yesterday's conversation with Nathan. His adopted son did not answer the young man's willingness to marry his beautiful daughter. Because Moses was a barrier. He believes Nathan can accept Nita's son.

Devan regrets that he should have left Nita and her company to Nathan sooner. Maybe something like this doesn't happen. It was only three years that the company he founded from Enol was left because he was COMA, but who would have thought his daughter was so vulnerable and his company had been owned by someone else.

...****************...

"Son, papah borrow a cell phone. Or you tell Nathan's friends to buy hp." Devan is agitated, he wants to call Sergey right away.

"Well, Nita doesn't have a cell phone, after all, here's a hard signal, said Brother Nathan." Nita tried to convince her father.

"Papah wants to know who the overseas man who bought Papah company. Why are you selling cheap?"

"Sister Nathan said so. Nita ran out of money and had to sell it for a bargain." Nita was depressed. He hated lying to his father.

"In fact, many banks are sure to want to cash out loans, but you are strange, why borrow to a stifling agent. Obviously you were framed from the beginning." Devan pursed his lips and clasped his hands in a wheelchair.

Devan becomes angry with himself why he banned Nita from working, when Nita's friends have started working. Now he has to iklash lose everything and live with nothing. It was in vain all his labors and was destroyed by the princess.

It was like wanting to ma*ti, Devan did not feel at home living in this slum that many mosquitoes at night. He remembered Nathan who said .... Nathan's remaining money was only enough to rent a simple house in the corner while waiting for Nita's new identity, Moses and himself out, then moved to Brunei.

"Sorry, Pah, at that time ..all difficult, as I left the office, the talents did not extend the contract and choose another company. They said, the company under Nita's leadership will not go forward" Nita said timidly.

Nita biting the lower lip. Beautiful sister, 2 seconds u press the like button, greatly appreciate the fruits of the mind OTHOR. Thanks 🙏Sorry, Nita lied again. Nita doesn't want to let papah know if papa's friend likes me, then Papa might marry me to Mas Sergey. I'm sure, Mas Sergey will definitely seduce Papa, then Papa might force me.

Rama, in the middle room, was holding Moses. He kept glancing at the two people, who were still in the kitchen. He was curious about their conversation. Rama recalls when Devan boasted Nathan with exaggerated stories. Why is my heart also troubled.
