Trapped On The Bride's Night
66. The unexpected guest

Rayyan was shocked when Bi Dima whispered something to her - about the unexpected arrival of a guest.

"Bu Inggrid came here, Mas," said Bi Dima whispering in a trembling voice.

The Household Assistant, quite know how the relationship between Rayyan and Inggrid, so that since the beginning of his arrival to the dining room-Bi Dima seemed anxious and hesitant to convey the news.

Indeed Rayyan had expected the woman would come back to her life after feeling deprived. Rayyan knows if this means that Inggrid has nothing left. Nevertheless, Rayyan never expected that the arrival of the woman was now - her life was quiet with her new family.

But finally, the name was again heard in Rayyan's ears, the woman was also reckless to come to him again after all that had happened.

Given Inggrid's actions, it always made Rayyan have to resist the feeling of being arrogant. But, however, now he must be able to master the situation in a short time.

Rayyan did not want to explode in front of the wife's extended family just because the woman did not know herself.

Before meeting the uninvited guest, Rayyan seemed to sigh first. Until finally, he can speak quite calmly.

"Where is he, Bi?" ask him on Bi Dima. Rayyan knows, maybe everyone at the same table as her is right now - wondering what happened.

When the step of his level arrived at the threshold of the entrance, Rayyan could see the figure. A woman who has been missing for almost 2 years. Which should never have come to Rayyan's life again.

"Do you want Auntie here?" tanyanya sarcasm.

Inggrid seemed to grin at Rayyan, then replied with a cynical speech.

"You want to tell your wife's family that you're an ungodly granddaughter who abandoned her own grandmother!"

Almost Rayyan lost control, let alone the words of the Aunt sound very cornering. But fortunately, Rayyan was able to contain her anger. He knew that confronting Inggrid could not rely solely on emotion, given his current presence at his in-laws' home - it seemed that Ingrid was indeed intentional in order to provoke his anger.

Rayyan breathed deeply. Until finally his voice came out.

"Aunty isn't tired of being a sneaky person?" insinuations. A thin snippet Rayyan deliberately gave.

Ingrid laughed satirically. "Don't look at you, Rayyan!" he said while pointing at Rayyan's face there. "You forgot who you think your parents died for?" continued emphasizing.

"I didn't forget. The ones guarding me are Bi Dima and Mr. Deri," Rayyan responded steadily.

Inggrid laughed again. "It doesn't mean you have to mess with your own Grandma and Aunt, does it?" her speech-the moment she accidentally sees a beautiful young woman-and she is believed to be the wife of her niece.

"Mass? What's up?" Aura who had actually heard the conversation of the two since earlier, finally choosing to approach, she held onto Rayyan's arm and looked at Ingrid as well then. It wasn't Aura's intention to interfere, but she felt that something was wrong here.

Rayyan was actually confused as to what to say to Aura right now. Until finally he stroked the back of Aura's hand at a glance.

"Later to tell me, yeah. I'll let you out for a while, yeah," Rayyan said gently to the wife. He intends to invite Ingrid to speak outside his father-in-law's residence.

"But this Aunt ... who?" Aura looked up at Rayyan, staring at her husband who she knew was not okay now.

"Aren't you going to introduce your wife to Auntie, Ray?" Inggrid's voice suddenly sounded and interrupted the conversation between Aura and Rayyan.

The two of them turned their attention back to the middle-aged woman.

"You must be Aura, right." Inggrid grinned. "Include, I'm Inggrid. Rayyan's aunt" he said, extending a hand.

Aura hesitantly greeted Inggrid's fingers, she looked at Rayyan as if asking for the man's approval, but Rayyan shook her head as a gesture to prevent Aura from serving her. Aura went awry, but finally he chose to obey Rayyan alone after all he did not know who this middle-aged woman was.

"Ah, even Auntie can not be acquainted with this wife of yours," responded Inggrid, he again pulled his hands that are not welcome.

"Better now Auntie is gone," Rayyan exorcised expressionlessly. If Rayyan had previously seemed to be holding back anger, now the man's countenance had suddenly turned flat. Rayyan no longer interested in talking to Inggrid, better he throw the woman away rather than serving her by talking outside the house.

"Oh, are you ngusir Aunty? Wh why? You're afraid of your disgrace Aunty open up here? In front of your wife?"

Rayyan endured the rumbling feeling of her anger desperately. He did not want to hit Inggrid in front of Aura. Moreover, Ingrid discussed the matter of disgrace that even Rayyan himself did not know what disgrace. Maybe Inggrid wants to vilify Rayyan in front of his wife, I don't know.

"I said, go!" press Rayyan.

Inggrid was more and more happy to see Rayyan who was hooked like this.

"You need to know, your husband is not a good husband. He abandoned his grandmother and me as his aunt. Though, when her parents died, we were the ones looking after her."

The aura was silent. He couldn't possibly believe this woman's speech, he thought.

"Go, Tan. Or would I call security to expel Auntie?" rayyan said with a hardened jaw.

"Maybe you don't believe it now, but look, your husband is so arrogant and arrogant. He can live well on his own without caring about the family who raised him to become a successful person!"

Ingrid smiled cynically. He knows now that Rayyan's weakness is his wife.

"Well, Auntie won't be here again but you know what to do after this?"

"Bi! Bi Dima's!"

Rayyan can't take it anymore. He wanted to be very angry at Inggrid right now.

The summoned Bi Dima directly faced Rayyan who seemed to be restraining her emotions desperately.

"Bi! Please call Mr. Zulmi and make sure this woman gets out of here!"

...***...

Along the way to the Apartment, Rayyan did not say a word again. Even Aura who was just silent, did not dare to ask her husband anything.

The car stopped right in the basement of the apartment. Then, Rayyan began to move down the suitcase Aura brought because of the second move.

Aura noticed Rayyan who had not been willing to discuss the matter earlier. Alright, Aura let it go. Maybe Rayyan needs some time to get it all out.

Until they arrived at the apartment unit, only silence ruled the atmosphere.

Rayyan seemed busy putting Aura's clothes into the closet. While Aura, he composed several picture frames that he brought from the previous house.

However, Aura suddenly found Rayyan sitting on the floor, precisely in front of the wardrobe that was still open. The man looked chaotic with a grip on his head.

"Mass? You okay?" Aura approached with worry and panic.

"Mass?" Aura called back because Rayyan did not answer her question.

Rayyan turned to Aura, her eyes blank and it made her aura trenchant when she saw it.

"What's really going on, Mom? Same story as me," said Aura softly.

Rayyan shook her head weakly. "I'm .. tired, honey," she admitted.

Aura hugged Rayyan's steadfast body, carrying the man's head leaning on her shoulder, stroking Rayyan's back head in a slow and constant motion.

Never had Aura seen Rayyan as weak as this. Especially complaining of 'grandfathers'. Only once did Aura see the other side of her husband.

"Mas, honey, you can tell me anything. You know, if I believe in you," Aura said. He did not want Rayyan to keep his problem.

Time and again Rayyan was heard exhaling a rough breath, then over time the man finally raised his head.

"I was confused as to what Aunt Inggrid should be like," Rayyan said later.

"So, is she really your aunt?"

Rayyan nodded, confirming.

"He's Papi's sister. For that I am confused how to treat it. I have often given him a reprimand because of his attitude that often passes. Lastly, I even made a letter of agreement to break up if she did it again. But finally, he's back in my life."

Rayyan looked desperate, while Aura who did not know the subject between Rayyan and Aunt Inggrid could only be a good listener.

"Actually, the letter of termination of the family relationship is valid and if Aunt Inggrid dares to ask for anything more with me, it's the fall of some kind of blackmail. But, did I have to report him to the authorities?" rayyan told Aura.

Rayyan told Aura about the actions of Aunt Inggrid who always cheated the livestock. Embezzling incoming funds. And finally, sell the farm. Many times Rayyan gave the opportunity to change Aunt Inggrid, but in fact she got worse.

"Are all that money made was Aunt Inggrid the same?" ask Aura plain. He thought Aunt Inggrid had socialite syndrome, but Rayyan's answer surprised him.

"Tante Inggrid likes to gamble. That's what got me hooked up with him" Rayyan replied.

"Gosh ..." The aura snorted as well. "Keep about your grandmother? How's it? Why would he even bring your grandmother?" tanyanya.

"On Grandma ... different again," Rayyan said slowly. "Grandma doesn't believe me, grandma trusts Aunt Inggrid. Though I was willing to take care of the grandmother, but she did not want to, because from the beginning never considered me as her grandson," he explained with a pushy eye.

Hearing that, it certainly made Aura even more surprised. "Why is that? So, all this time you've been living with your own struggles?" tanyanya speechless.
