Chapter 33 - Robby

"Ardi..." a call from behind made Ardi turn around.

Robby walked towards Ardi.

"Why did you get out of Trisya's car? What were you doing in the car?" Robby asked.

"Nothing."

"I still consider her my future wife, even though she has denied it several times."

"Isn't your relationship over?" Ardi asked.

Robby was silent.

"I'm going to the room," Ardi said.

"You know the shameful scandal made by your boss and you're keeping quiet?" Robby asked.

"What can we do if his own wife is also silent and doesn't report it?"

"Don't you feel sorry for Mrs. Riana?"

"Talk to Trisya. Maybe she's still willing to listen to you. I'm going to the room," Ardi said.

And after work, Robby did go to Trisya's house.

The house in the elite area wasn't too luxurious, but it was clear that the price was enough to make your pockets empty.

Trisya looked at Robby standing in front of her.

"What are you doing here?"

"How could you sell yourself?" Robby asked.

"We don't have any relationship anymore. You have no right to ask."

"You're having an affair with someone else, I don't care! But you're having an affair with your own mother's husband! Where is your mind?"

"It's none of your business!"

"How could you be so cruel to your own mother? Okay, you have this nice house, you have an expensive car. Do you realize that the money you took has your younger brother's rights?"

"Ask that woman first! Why did she make my life like hell. If she didn't want me, why didn't she kill me when I was a baby? Why let me grow up but make my life miserable! I don't think it's wrong if I accept Papa's gifts. People also know that I am his child. It's natural for a father to spoil his daughter."

Robby didn't answer, he reached out and hugged Trisya's body.

"Why do you have to fall into your stepfather's arms when you have me who is ready to take care of you?"

Trisya didn't answer.

Robby stroked Trisya's face.

"Come with me, let's get out of this house. I may not be able to give you a luxurious house and a car. But with a simple house and a motorcycle that I can use to take you to and from work, wouldn't it be better? Than living comfortably like this but you don't get happiness."

Trisya released Robby's hug.

"Who said I'm not happy? Daddy cares about me. He loves me. You hear? He loves me."

Robby pulled Trisya back into his arms.

"Is it called love if you have it but not to marry? Do you think even though your stepfather divorced your mother he can marry you? Are you sure this is love? Not just lust?"

"It's none of your business! Let me go!"

Robby hugged Trisya tighter, landing a kiss on the girl's lips.

"YOU'RE CRAZY!" Trisya pushed Robby's body.

"Come with me! I'll take you out of this hellish house!" Robby pulled Trisya's arm.

"I don't want to!"

"What do you want to be by continuing to be your stepfather's mistress?"

"I want to be rich!" Trisya shouted.

"Wealth is not taken to death, Trisya!"

"So what? I don't want anything to do with you anymore!"

"I don't care! You can't play me as you please! If you don't want to marry me, you'll regret it!"

"I'm pregnant!"

"What did you say?"

"I'm pregnant!" Trisya repeated.

"Whose child?"

"Whose child else? This is my father's child! Go away!"

"Don't you feel sorry for your child? How will he face the cruelty of the world when he can't be recognized as a child by his biological father?"

Trisya didn't answer.

"We'll get married! I'll be the father of that child. I promise I'll love him."

"No need!" Trisya went inside and closed the door.

"Trisya! Trisya! I love you!!!"

 ***

Trisya looked at her phone. Rereading the message she sent to Ardi.

"I haven't talked to Daddy yet."

There was no reply from Ardi for 30 minutes.

"Don't wait any longer. Whatever happens next. That's the risk," Ardi finally replied.

Trisya put her phone on the table. Looking at the clock on the wall. It was already 2:30 in the morning.

Another WA message from Ardi came in.

"It's this late, why aren't you asleep yet?" Ardi asked.

"Can't sleep. I want to eat noodles at Om Amir's..." Trisya replied.

"Where is your Dad?"

"At Mom's house. Because Mom is sick, Aldo doesn't want to be held by anyone."

"Get ready. I'll pick you up soon," Ardi replied.

"Seriously?"

"I don't like to wait, do I?"

Trisya smiled. Walked towards the closet.

The bedroom door opened. Trisya turned.

"Where are you going?" Richard asked as he stepped in.

"Dad?"

Richard looked at the clock on the wall.

"I'm hungry," Trisya replied. "Thinking about eating at Uncle Amir's. He's the only one know who's open until morning."

"Alone?"

"Why? Isn't it safe if I eat at Uncle Amir's? He'll definitely protect me."

Richard looked at Trisya.

"You suspect I'm going out with Robby?" Trisya asked.

"I didn't say that."

"You're so funny. You're busy all day taking care of Mama and work. Even to call me to ask if I'm healthy, you can't! Even though you know the night before I was feeling unwell. It's true. You're not that fond of me. What do you want to come here for?"

"It's just that I remember that you might need attention too, so I came to see you."

"See me because you're worried or because you're wanting me?" Trisya asked while standing in front of the dressing table.

"What else is there, Trisya?" Richard asked. "Do you think it's just your body that I want?"

"I'm not in a good mood!" Trisya applied thin lipstick.

"What's wrong with you? Who said I'm looking for you only if I want you?"

"There's nothing," Trisya sprayed perfume on her body. "I'm going out, okay?"

"It's very late."

"I'll wear decent clothes."

"Stay here!" Richard pulled Trisya's arm.

"I've promised!"

"What kind of promise is it to go out this late? You always cause trouble! You make everyone tired!"

"Why are you here? Just to stop me from leaving!"

"What kind of woman goes out in the middle of the night?"

"A bad woman!" Trisya replied. "Only a bad woman goes out in the middle of the night, right?"

"You said that."

"I'm not a good woman either, right? A good woman wouldn't want to be used as a dumping ground for her stepfather's fluids without coercion?" Trisya looked at Richard.

Richard slapped Trisya's cheek.

"Why did you slap me? What's wrong with me?"

"Just think about the problems you've caused until everything is messed up, but you can only blame other people without being able to see what's wrong with you and never feel guilty!"

"Dad!" Trisya called.

"I'm pregnant!" Trisya said, stopping Richard's steps.

Trisya took the test pack out of the drawer of the dressing table, she walked towards Richard and gave it to him.

Richard looked at the test pack.

"How did you get pregnant?"

"What?"

"Don't go anywhere, understand?" Richard left the place.

"YOU CURSED MAN!" Trisya screamed.

Trisya was slumped for a long time until Trisya's phone rang.

She reached for the phone, there were 4 missed calls from Ardi.

Trisya called back.

"Hello."

"Sorry, I fell asleep earlier."

"Oh, if so, just rest..."

"Where are you?"

"I'm already in front of your house."

"I'm coming down," Trisya said as she hurriedly grabbed her bag, rushed out to Ardi's car.

"Sorry," Trisya sat next to Ardi.

Ardi looked at Trisya who was only wearing a mini dress.

"I didn't have time to change clothes, you said you didn't want to wait."

Ardi didn't answer, he just drove his car.

"Sorry for bothering you late at night."

"No problem, I just got home from work too."

"Oh..." Trisya said.

They arrived at the parking lot. Amir's restaurant wasn't busy at this hour. Only a few people were seen sitting inside.

"Trisya? It's unusual to be here in the middle of the night."

"Suddenly I miss Uncle's cooking.." Trisya smiled.

"With who?" Amir asked.

"Officer Ardi."

Amir looked at Ardi who followed Trisya in.

"I'll wait inside, uncle. Hey, what do you order?"

"The same."

"Okay, I'll wait, okay?" Amir said.

Amir looked at Trisya who walked into the smoke-free room with Ardi.

"She's wearing such skimpy clothes going out with a man, isn't Richard angry?" Amir muttered.
