Missing In The Heart
Chapter 41.Advice Mr. Wijaya.

Rachel and Mahavir are leaving Calister's hotel. At medium speed Mahavir drove a white Porsche Boxter through the streets that afternoon. The streets seemed crowded until several times they were stuck in traffic.

"Vir, what do you think of Bryan and Raya?" Rachel opened the conversation to fill the silence between the jams. To be honest he is still a little thought about the relationship between his sister and his best friend. He wants the best for his two loved ones.

"What's how?" Mahavir responded with indifference, his gaze focused on looking at the road, looking for a gap so that the car he drove could escape the traffic jam.

"Well, about their relationship, are they actually in a relationship? speechless is also true. Didn't know that, usually only brought joking, uh even the incident."

"Maybe yes maybe no." replied Mahavir of origin.

"I'm afraid that if Bryan just wants to mess around, I'm afraid Raya who still can't realize her own heart even misinterpreted her feelings to Bryan!" Babe Rachel. He still remembered Raya's expression when she was leaving the hotel earlier. In order to avoid Bryan, Raya instead asks Rey to drive him home. While Bryan was also with his cue directly riding his motorbike which is still stored in the hotel since the wedding party.

"Don't worry about them too much, they're both adults. Bryan's thinking is much more mature than his age."

"That's why you saw it for yourself. They can kiss in the elevator without any clarity of their relationship. Bryan was still in an excited time, even though the Kingdom was ripe old, but honestly he was very innocent. What if we're already dating? Could be the release of both of them." Cerocos Rachel at length.

Mahavir sitting behind the wheel can only smile at how chatty his wife is when it comes to other people. It's so adorable. Suppose they were not on the road at this time, Mahavir would have silenced the chattering mouth with an endless kiss.

Rachel who felt ignored by Mahavir also turned her head, "Kok you even smiled? What's so funny?"

"You"

"Me?" Rachel pointed to herself.

"Yeah, you think it's a distance. Bryan knows the limits, Raya isn't what you think either. Even if your only brother and your only friend, they have a life of their own, don't interfere in their affairs."

Rachel paused for a moment thinking about it.

Mahavir who had noticed Rachel removed her left hand from the steering wheel and moved to pull Rachel's hand and then put her fingers between Rachel's fingers. Grip it tightly. "Rather than thinking about other people's business, how about thinking about us?"

Rachel looked up, looking at Mahavir's face. "On us?"

Mahavir.

"What's wrong with us?"

"Rachel darling... We're married, we're legal to be husband and wife."

"Ayeah, then?"

"To be honest, I really want to see that when we get back to London, we can have a real marriage. But before that..."

Rachel frowned, "But before that what?"

"Before that... I want to know your heart for me, I want to make sure if I can occupy your heart or not? I don't want us to be in physical contact just out of a passion for biological needs, I want us to do it out of love and love"

Rachel was stunned to hear Mahavir's words. A moment of silence was created between the two of them for a few seconds, until Rachel finally made a sound. "Give me time, I'm still trying to open my heart to you....." Lirih Rachel was still with a tone of doubt.

Mahavir took off his hand and switched to rubbing Rachel's head. "I want you to be happy, I don't want to push if you're not sure. I'll wait patiently." He said, then refocused on driving.

The silence is back. Rachel chose to turn her face to the window, seeing the buildings and trees along the road that increasingly look away quickly, indicating the pace of vehicles that began to normal free from congestion.

A few minutes later they finally arrived at Pak Wijaya's residence. Mahavir stopped the vehicle right in front of the entrance. Rachel got out of the car and breezed in leaving Mahavir who pulled out some of their luggage from the trunk of the car.

"Here is Vir, let me bring you in." Tawar Pak Maman who was seen enjoying coffee on a park bench not far from the terrace.

"What's wrong, Mr. Maman, this is Mr. Maman just put the car into the garage." Mahavir handed over the keys to his car. Then Rachel entered the mansion.

Bik Santi and Bik Sumi were in a frenzy running around to pick up the luggage held by Mahavir. Although Mahavir refused, but they still insist to take him. Eventually Mahavir gave up and let them help him.

"Daddy with Mommy where's Bik?" Mahavir asked as he could not find his father-in-law's presence.

"Mrs Arisan again with the mothers of the complex here, if you're in the study." Answer Bik Sumi.

"Please tell Rachel that I'm seeing Daddy first." Said Mahavir who was immediately embraced by Bik Sumi.

Mahavir then walked towards the study, knocked on the door first and opened it.

"Eh, Vir boy. Have you been home from vacation?" Mr. Wijaya asked as he got up from his desk and approached Mahavir. The two of them then sat side by side on a long sofa made of dark brown Oscar leather.

Mr. Wijaya caught a streak of anxiety on the look on Mahavir's face. His hand then stretched out gently rubbed the back of his daughter-in-law.

"What's wrong? Did Rachel do it?" he asked in a tone full of tenderness, as if talking to his young son.

Mahavir shook his head slowly and lowered his head, "Rachel has met a man who tried to desecrate her first."

Mr. Wijaya slightly jolted in shock, then fell silent for a moment digesting Mahavir's words.

"It turns out the man was his best friend's fiancee."

"Did Rachel recognize him?"

"It wasn't at first, but the man threw a tantrum by trying to annoy Rachel back when I was off guard. I tried to warn her, but she was still reckless, until she herself confessed to Rachel and reminded Rachel back of the incident. He also knew who I really was."

"Jeez..., then what about Rachel? She's okay, right?"

Mahavir bowed, his hands raised holding his temple with elbows propping up on both his thighs.

"Now Rachel's fine, but she was shocked and passed out all night. I want to tell you right away but I'm afraid mommy will be as surprised as when she finds out Rachel's trying to drown herself in the ocean."

"So Rachel already knew the real you?"

"For the time being she didn't know, Rachel fell unconscious before the man revealed my Identity. But Rachel's best friend already knows."

"Then what happened after that?"

"That man I've already cleared my chest, he's already languishing in jail, so won't dare to bother Rachel again."

"Thank God, thank you son, you always take good care of Rachel. Rachel's lucky to have you by her side."

"Come on dad, did Rachel feel the same way. Especially if one day he recognizes me....." Mahavir took a deep breath to relieve the space of his heart.

Pak Wijaya again rubbed Mahavir's back, providing support and strength to be more enthusiastic. "Daddy please be more patient with him."

"I will always be patient..."

"Then what are your plans for the future?"

"Rachel asked to return to London, but I wanted to ask daddy's opinion first."

"You'd better be back in London, being here is too risky for your relationship."

"But what about Granny?"

"Don't worry about it, I've explained everything to Rachel's grandmother. She understands, she won't tell Rachel. Only you still have to be patient with his rather rude attitude. That's all he did because he loved his granddaughter so much."

"If you think about it, think carefully. Don't be rash. Let your relationship go first, build a strong foundation. Let your love and affection wake up perfectly first, if you can until you have your baby then Rachel knows it. A child will tie you up."

Hearing his father-in-law's words made Mahavir rub his neck.

"Why?"

"mmm.. That's... I plan on not touching Rachel first before she finds out the truth. If I do that it's the same as taking a chance on narrow-mindedness. I don't want to trick him any further. I feel unsettled and always guilty about being around him."

"Good god, Vir...Means until now you haven't..?"

Mahavir nodded and smiled shyly.

"When your mommy was very enthusiastic waiting for the presence of a grandchild. Mean mommy's dream is still very far away."

"Sorry dad..."

"You sure you can?" Back Pak Wijaya asked, he looked in wonder at his daughter-in-law. "Now we are talking casually to our fellow men. As a man, daddy knows your needs. Can you sleep in one bed every night with a woman who is already legal as your wife? Rachel's pretty, she's pretty perfect in the eyes of a man."

Mahavir smiled faintly, this is what made him happy to chat with the middle-aged man. He can always behave in accordance with circumstances. Firm when it must be firm, relaxed when it is relaxed. He can be both a father and a friend at once. It's lucky Rachel and Bryan had a father as good and wonderful as this. Especially those who can meet and be part of their family.

"If it's daddy there's no need to explain. I know it too..."

Mr. Wijaya smiled, then spoke again. "Those feelings of love and affection also quickly grow with habit. Sometimes people who do not know each other who are betrothed end up loving each other because of their habit of living together. Because the habit of touching each other and meeting each other's biological needs make them need each other. It makes love grow on its own. Don't look at it from a negative point of view because the result will also be negative."

Mr. Wijaya paused for a moment, straightened his back then leaned on the sofa and continued his words. "It is precisely if you have a mindset like that you actually slow down the progress of your relationship. Remember, the woman is sometimes another in the mouth another in the heart. Sometimes what they say doesn't match their heart. If you're waiting for a verbal statement from Rachel, it looks like you're going to wait until the cat lays eggs. The haughty girl would not easily acknowledge his heart. Daddy knows that very well.

Mahavir leaned his back against the sofa. "But I'm still afraid of dad, just hugging him is already a miracle."

"Don't keep putting yourself down, though,

Throw away that insecurities of yourself. Now you have everything. Boast a little of yourself to get Rachel to her knees. Don't be so begging."

"Yes dad, thanks for all the input."

"Yes, go see your wife. He'll find you." Said Mr. Wijaya patted Mahavir on the shoulder and then got up and returned to his desk.

"Yes dad. Then excuse me first."

"Oh yeah Vir, what about Bryan's college administration?"

"Everything's sorted out, and I told Bryan to get ready."

"Thank you Vir. Then send daddy the University account so daddy can directly transfer all the costs."

"It's also been settled everything dad. Daddy doesn't have to worry for next let me take care of all Bryan's needs while there."

"Gee..Daddy feels like you've been troubling, son."

"That's nothing like what daddy gave me all this time. Bryan, after all, I think of him as my own brother. So daddy doesn't have to yell at me."

"You're a good boy, fine then."

"Then excuse me dad."

"Hmm" Mr. Wijaya nodded with a smile on his lips. Mahavir always succeeds in making him proud.

Rachel was sitting quietly on the sofa, opening the magazine page by the window of her room when Mahavir knocked on the door.

Finally he knew he was knocking on the door. Rachel's girl in my heart.

After hearing the words from Rachel, Mahavir came in. With an expression that Rachel could hardly guess. Mahavir immediately held his gaze.

"Have I met daddy? Why?"

"Yes, we chatted for a while." Mahavir replied without looking at Rachel.

"Obrolin what? Don't tell me you reported the incident at the Villa."

"However they should know."

"You're just gonna make them worry."

"We can't hide it. Better he hear from me than from Bryan. We talked about it another way. Daddy also asked me something but I had a hard time answering it, so I said just ask you directly."

"What did you ask?"

"Daddy asked how about the process of making his grandson, has been processed what has not. So I'm if....."

'BRUKK'S'

Mahavir's words came to a halt as the magazine that had been held by Rachel floated up and hit his chest. Rachel smiled with satisfaction.

Mahavir rubbed his chest and lowered his head to pick up the magazine that had fallen at his feet. His gaze still remained lowered unwillingly looking towards Rachel.

"This can be reported as KDRT violence." He said then put the magazine on the nightstand with a serious face.

Rachel was shocked when she saw Mahavir's expression which was like a tangled thread. Why is he again?? Anger just because of being thrown by a magazine...

"You mad?"

Mahavir just shook his head then walked up to get a towel and went inside the bathroom without speaking. Removing everything attached to his body, then opening the shower faucet whose water immediately poured over his entire body.

Gosh, it would be crazy for me to see her with all her clothes lacking in materials at all times.

She was dressed covered, I could still imagine her body shape...

That's right what daddy said... Will I be able to hold it if it is always presented with the appearance of Rachel who always looks beautiful and sexy?? I'm a normal guy, when will I survive?

Luckily Bryan came. If Bryan hadn't shown up, I might have done it and forgotten my promise...

But until when?

I should how?

Did I follow daddy's advice?

Arghh... I'm dizzy thinking about her...
