Rania's Invisible Search
PART 92 NEW BEGINNING.
There was a debate between Mr. Boss and the middle-aged woman. Looking at their age difference, it seemed like they were more apt to be brothers. Because they are almost the same age, maybe only a few years adrift. But Master's shout surprised me, he asked Mr. Boss not to argue with his stepmother again. Suddenly I rounded my eyes, not believing what I had just heard.
"Kartika! Stop that ridiculous act of yours, why are you being so rude!" Pekik Tuan Besar while pulling his wife's hand.
"Why do you want to marry this crazy woman huh? Is it not enough for me to be your wife?"
The commotion there makes me a little awkward, because I shouldn't have seen it. Shortly after, Mr. Boss asked me to take Purnama away. And he also went with us, he took us to a room next to the garden of his mansion. Looking at Purnama's still frightened expression, Pak Boss hesitated to speak to him. And I tried to make Purnama calm again, I saw a small bag hanging on his shoulder. I took the initiative to take it, and looked at the contents inside. Thankfully, there is a doctor's medicine, it must be some kind of sedative for Purnama. Then I asked her to take the medicine, sure not long after, Purnama calmed down a little and started to act as normal as before.
"I'm sorry for what happened, you shouldn't have been treated like that. She was Papa's second wife, because my mother was long gone. And no one takes care of Papa, eventually Papa marries his own ex-Sister. In hopes, someone took care of him when he fell ill and his illness relapsed. But the reality is another, after being his wife. Kartika changes drastically, he often leaves Papa at home alone. When his illness recurred, and Papa contacted him. Kartika always reasoned that there was business or something like that. Finally I hired a new Sister to take care of Papa, because lately Papa's health is deteriorating. He felt too guilty about his past actions, so I decided to find out what Papa was worried about. And ask Rania to go through your background. Papa worries about you and the child you bear, he intends to atone for all his sins. But Kartika does not agree, he does not want any other woman in Papa's life. But Papa insisted on marrying you, so I hope, you consider that request." The Boss said by massaging the base of his nose.
Seen by the look of Purnama's face of confusion, he fell silent by bowing his head. I immediately clasped his hand, trying to give understanding to Purnama. If he had to give the Great Lord a chance, to make amends for all his mistakes.
"You know what your son wants? She wants her mother to live happily after her departure. And your brother Moon will be calm in nature, if you have anything to look after. Indeed, as Uncle Mr. Markum is willing to take care of you. But considering his age is no longer young, not to mention his financial condition. He can't take care of you all the time. Although the Great Lord is often sickly, at least he is able to maintain and meet all your needs. You also have to start a new beginning in your life. Do not continue to be shackled with the wounds of the past, you deserve to be happy Full Moon. Realize your brother and son's last wish." I persuaded Purnama.
There were clear hairs drenching his cheeks. Full moon with tears thinking about my words. It seemed like he understood my explanation, and was trying to make his decision. As I expected, he started to say something asking for the whereabouts of the Great Lord's first wife.
The big boss smiled, explaining that his mother was gone before Kartika became his father's second wife.
"Formerly my mother's health was fine. But after Papa decides to marry his own Sister. Mama's condition worsened, she often looks moody and less excited. Eventually he fell ill, and died before Papa married Kartika. Because Mama is gone, Papa's desire to marry Kartika is getting bigger. He wants someone to look after him and take care of him, but reality says otherwise. I still have to hire a Sister to look after and care for Papa. Hopefully after his wish is realized, by taking responsibility for his actions in the past. Papa's health could improve. So please consider Papa's request, marry him. You also deserve to be happy, continue your life with someone who might be the place you lean on in your old age."
Full moon shed tears, she had not expected to get such great attention from someone she had just known. Maybe the trauma of her past is still there, but I can see her desire to recover and start a new beginning in her life.
The sound of footsteps approaching us. The woman named Kartika came and ruffled her waist in front of us. He grinned with sharp eyes, muttering as if talking to someone we didn't see. I squinted both eyes, looking in different directions. There was a shadow that darted away leaving this room.
"Maybe you can be his wife, but I won't let you live quietly after this. I'll keep an eye on you, keep a close eye on me!" He stared hard at Purnama.
Shortly after, he walked towards the direction the shadow was darting away. Let alone the woman allied with the invisible figure earlier. Hopefully this is just my guess, because I can't just stay still, if I find out Purnama's life is in danger.
