He's The Unaffordable
Chapter 100 - I'm Ready

I couldn't answer Adi's question, because I also didn't know why Reese was in front of me with a friendly face. An expression he had never shown in front of me since he first declared that we were eternal rivals. Not just that. She also carried a bouquet of flowers and a mini shopping bag with a famous watch label.

“Hai, Dira. I'm sorry I just visited.” He gave me the bouquet of flowers. “I'm so sorry for what happened to you.”

“You don't have to come this way, Reese.” I did not extend my hand to receive the bouquet. I'm not crazy yet, so I'm not caught up with her acting. He couldn't have suddenly turned nice to me for no reason.

“Ma-pardon me, Miss, Sir. I don't mean to let him in,” said the officer who had been chasing Reese since the front gate.

“It's okay, Sir. He will be leaving here soon.” Hadi's brother was standing between me and Reese.

“What do you mean, Hadi?” He looked towards me and Brother. Then she laughed a little. “Shortly. You guys misunderstood. I came with good intentions. Here, there's a little present for you. As an apology from me and the beginning of our friendship.”

“Sekuriti has rejected the package from you, also your arrival with your friend yesterday. Isn't that enough to tell you that I, as well as Dira, don't want a gift or anything from you? Go awayl. Don't bother us anymore,” Brother said firmly.

“I'm serious no meanness, Hadi,” said Reese again. Big brother signaled the two men behind him to chase away the girl. “Hey, don't touch me! Release him!! Hadi, Dira, I have no malicious intent. Really.”

Mr. Abdi and Adi stood by my side and invited me to enter the house. Pak Sakti and Mr. Liando had already walked ahead of us carrying two suitcases. Hadi's sister carried the last suitcase and paid no heed to Reese's screams being half-dragged out of our yard.

“What are these storms?” ask Mama who walked down the terrace stairs with Official Aunt.

“Mama!!” I cheered happily and immediately hugged her tightly.

After greeting them, we headed for the living room and hugged all of our gathered families. Even though today is Sunday, seeing Papa and Mama's family come to our house on the same day is unusual. So, I was surprised to see them in our house.

Fortunately, I brought gifts for everyone. I bought jerseys for the men and beach skirts for the women. Bu Yuyun and Sita came over and served the milk pie I bought and a warm drink to the three of us.

“If you do not come, I am sure Hadi or Adi will not think to buy all these souvenirs,” taunted Official Aunt. My two brothers just laughed.

“So, what fuss is out there?” ask Grandma Naava to know.

I turned towards Big Brother who was pretending to be busy chewing on the cake. So obnoxious. The time I kept answering their questions? “There are people coming, Grandma, but we ask for security to expel him out.”

“Lo? Why are you evicting guests? That's not good,” said Anya's Grandma was surprised.

“For this one person, it is better we avoid him than get into trouble, Nek.” Adi mediates. “I've seen for myself what he looks like when he's angry.”

“You're talking about who?” asked Grandma Naava confused.

“One of Kak Dira's rivals at her job, Nek.” Adi turned towards me with a frown. “But what made him come, Brother? And how can he know where our house is?”

I lifted both my shoulders. “Where do I know. He just came with flowers to confuse me. Plus, he gave a gift to Kak Hadi.”

“Don't tell me you're discussing a girl surnamed Foster.” Papa squinted his eyes. The three of us nodded our heads. “Did he make any new problems again?”

“Numbered, Pa. That's why we don't want to have any business with him.” This time, the brother answered. “I know this seems rude, Grandma. But expelling it is the only way.”

“Foster. Isn't that the clan of a foreign couple who adopted Clarissa?” ask Grandpa Adhy. “Or just by chance they're one clan?”

“True, Pa. This girl is the former adopted sister of Clarissa,” replied Papa who then turned to look at Kak Hadi. Brother is indifferent to the topic. “It's a shame that the family treated him badly by siding more with their biological daughter.”

“Things that I often meet in my social activities,” said Grandma Naava chimed. “Because of that, every couple who will raise a child must go through a strict selection process.”

“Clarissa really is a poor girl. He was kidnapped when he was very young, then raised by a family who then wasted it. She was a good girl. A very surprising thing. Because generally, those who live in a harsh environment have a hard nature as well,” said Anya Grandma slowly.

“Different by Zach, dong, Ma.” Mama glanced at Om Zach with a seductive look. “Papa and Mama are very good, but she grows up to be an annoying sister.”

“Said an older brother who did not stop bothering his sister while studying law with all his heart,” said Om Zach would not lose.

I saw Brother sigh in relief when the conversation about Clarissa finally sidetracked. Mama and Om Zach don't stop bickering open their own disgrace. Papa and Aunty Rasmi are not seen trying to divorce their partner. They laugh when they hear something funny about their partner.

Our family had dinner with us, so the atmosphere of the night was getting crowded. This opportunity will not come twice, so I decided to invite them to talk about something serious. There would be no right time to discuss it, whereas putting it off would only make it difficult for me to move on.

“Pa,” call me when we've regrouped in the living room. Papa looked at me. “Can I say something very important?”

The atmosphere of the room was suddenly quiet. Everyone was silent and fixed their eyes on me. “Regarding the incident that happened to me, Om Zach, I am ready to give a statement to the police. Anytime they need it.”

“Dira, are you sure you want to do this?” ask Papa with a worried tone.

“This is not a decision that can be taken in a hurry, dear. You won't be able to testify now. Wait a few more days, yes,” Mama said chimed in.

“Are you ready to discuss the matter with someone else, dear? If not, you do not need to force yourself,” said Anya Grandma.

Everyone was talking at the same time so I was confused who to respond to first. Until finally they argue with each other on their own where one side supports my decision, while the other side wants me to postpone giving testimony.

“Shortly, Ma. Aunt, wait a minute.” Om Zach is trying to calm everyone down.

“Everything, please, relax for a minute!” papa said in a louder voice. Everyone fell silent and turned towards Papa. “Zach wants to say something.”

“Three perpetrators of the crime are already in prison, the evidence is also sufficient, only one thing is needed so that this case can be filed in court. Dira's Testimony. I know they are bad people, but they need justice. When Dira is ready, then we all have to support him. The sooner this case is completed, the better it will be for Dira,” Om Zach said.

“Dira, is this what you want to do? Are you sure?” ask Papa be careful.

“Iya, Pa. Of course I'm scared. I don't promise I won't cry or be at a loss for words at the time of giving a statement.” The brother sitting by my side, touched my hand. “But I want to show the three of them that they did not succeed in destroying us.”

Meanwhile in an apartment~

Colin dragged his suitcase to his room, then cleaned himself up and changed clothes before joining his family in the living room. They were enjoying potato chips accompanied by a cup of tea or coffee.

“What's up? Why do you see me like that?” colin asked as his family stared at him as soon as he sat down beside Lily.

“Are you and Dira back together?” ask Gista to know. Colin looked at them one by one, then smiled. “Awabe, Colin. Don't make us curious.”

“You guys didn't discuss it at all while we were in the car. I thought you guys wouldn't ask.” Colin laughed a little. “No. Dira and I are not back together. I don't know why he did that either. Maybe he just wants to free me from guilt.”

“You are indeed innocent, Son,” said Will approving of Dira's remarks.

“So, how are you doing now? Do you feel better?” ask Gista slowly.

“Slightly,” replied Colin honestly.

“I hope this will help drive away your nightmares.” Gista looked at Colin sadly. Colin rounded his eyes. “Do you think we don't know? You screamed that loud in your sleep mentioning Dira's name, neighbors might hear her too.”

“Oh, God ...” Colin covered his face with one of his hands. His family laughed a little. “It's very embarrassing.”

“Everything, stop blaming yourself,” taunts Lily.

Colin ignored his sister and sat up straight. “I have an important question. Do you think there is something that needs to be fixed from my relationship with Dira first? Is there anything less?”
