A Wife's Heart

CHAPTER 10

Happy reading to my friend.....

🌸🌸🌸

Reza poured her sturdy body into the sofa in her room. Reza felt tired, tired of thinking about his life that felt empty.

Since her boyfriend chose to marry another man, Reza chose to close herself to all women. Even Mila, the young and beautiful doctor, was unable to break Reza's heart.

Reza closed his eyes, remembering how stupid he used to be.

"If I had been more attentive and more time for you, maybe now we are happy with our little family! Even now that it's been years, I still can't forget you. Inner Reza.

Hufftt ....

Reza was breathing rough. Rice has become porridge. Reza could not have expected her lover who was already the wife of another man. Despite the fact, Reza still misses Anita a lot.

Today Martin has been tidy with his suit. The aura of his good looks was still emanating clearly at his age which was no longer young.

Martin plans to take Lira to a fancy restaurant. After some time ago hearing Lira's story about her parents, Martin's heart becomes called upon to protect the girl. Moreover, after getting information from his men about the life of the Lira that was so heavy, Martin was increasingly convinced by his plan.

Irma frowned looking at her already tidy husband.

"Where are you going? How neat, really neat!" Ask Irma.

"Papa's going out for a minute, there's business." Martin replied casually.

" But the doctor said, papah should rest a lot. Papah is healthy, cook already want to come out again anyway!" Irma said half-naggingly.

"Yes, papah knows. But papah not long. Mama don't worry." Martin hugged his wife to calm down. "Yes, Papah go first." Continue while peeping at his wife's forehead.

Irma just smiled nodding her head.

Right now Lira had been getting ready in her room. Earlier, Martin's men had contacted Lira, relaying a message from Martin. At first Lira was surprised because again Martin wanted to see her. And even more so in a fancy restaurant. But after Martin's men explain Martin's purpose, the Lira finally agrees to meet.

As always, the appearance of the lira is very simple without powder polish. Her pretty face was left plain.

The lira gets into the car Martin had prepared to pick her up to the restaurant Martin had promised.

After 30 minutes, arrive at a modern-style luxury restaurant. Lira walked into the restaurant with a doubt. But not yet had Lira entered, he was intercepted by the restaurant security guard.

"Sorry, beggars are forbidden to enter. It's a 5-star restaurant, not a warteg." Said the Satpam cynically while looking at the appearance of Lira.

"Sorry sir, I'm not a beggar. I'm here to meet someone." Answer Lira.

"Have, just an excuse. People like you where there are acquaintances in a luxurious place like this." Said the Security Guard still in a dismissive tone.

" I'm not lying, sir!" Reply Lira reassuring.

The security guard was still in disbelief, dragging Lira away from the restaurant.

Martin's car arrived in front of the restaurant. Martin sees Lira being dragged by the restaurant security guard, directly aboard the apoplexy. Martin descended from his luxury and immediately ran towards the Lira with an angry face.

"STOP IT! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY DAUGHTER?" Shouted Martin.

The lira and the security guard turned towards Martin. The diners were surprised to hear Martin's loud screams. They came out of the restaurant to see what was going on.

"HOW DARE YOU DRAG MY DAUGHTER LIKE THAT! " Said Martin still on a high note.

Yes, since Lira helped and donated her blood to Martin, from that moment on Martin had already considered Lira as his daughter.

The face of the guard turned deathly pale. There was no longer such a haughty face as when he insulted Lira.

"Ma.ma.sorry sa.my lord. I don't know if she's your daughter. I think he's a beggar who wants to make a riot in this restaurant" he replied trembling.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY? A BEGGAR?" Martin was furious to hear Lira being said to be a beggar. Martin clutched the collar of the security guard's shirt firmly. "How dare you call my daughter a beggar."

"Even sir. I don't know!" The guard begged.

Isn't that Mr Martin? Said one of the restaurant's visitors.

Yes, that's Mr. Martin, owner of MM Hospital. But, didn't Mr Martin just have a son? Please another visitor.

"Don't it be his daughter from another woman."

That's the whispers that happen among the diners.

Still with a gripping atmosphere. Martin has not yet let go of his grip on the security guard's collar.

Hearing the commotion, the manager of the restaurant went straight out. He was shocked to see his security guard being grabbed by Martin's collar.

"I'm sorry Mr Martin, what's going on?" Ask the restaurant manager politely.

"Are you the manager of this restaurant?"

"Yes, right sir." The answer.

"Your men have behaved insolently to my daughter by addressing her as a beggar." Martin obviously.

The restaurant manager was surprised. "I'm sorry for the irreverence of my men, sir." Said pleading.

"God! Pardon saying? Martin said cynically.

"Sam, take care of this brash guy." Martin's word to one of his men.

Martin did not hesitate to destroy the people who harassed him as well as his family. Sam understands that.

"Good sir."

The manager of the silent restaurant could not do anything while the Security Guard was trembling even more to the point of letting out cold sweat. He kept begging to be forgiven. Unfortunately Martin was untouchable with a face begging him.

Lira felt unable to bear to see others continue to prostrate begging. Lira was trying to help the security guard. Despite being insulted by him, Lira still felt unbearable.

"Om, please let him go. Lira please!" Lira said pleading.

"But he's been insulting you, Lira." Martin was astonished by Lira's attitude.

"But the Lira doesn't papa, Om! It's just a misunderstanding, really. Lira please, Om. The family's kasian, too, Om."

Martin did not expect that Lira had a kind and sincere heart.

"You hear that? The person you have despised turns out to be noble-hearted and even willing to beg for you. I'll let you go but on condition that you apologize to him." Said Martin while pointing at Lira.

The guard nodded and apologized to Lira.

"I'm sorry for being so rude to you, Miss." The guard said sincerely.

"I've forgiven you before you apologize." Say soft lira. "But I hope in the future you don't do this to anyone else. Try to respect others regardless of status." Lira.

Martin was flattered to see Lira's sincere attitude.

"You deserve to be my daughter." Martin muttered with a smile looking at Lira.

🌸🌸🌸

After the misunderstanding that had heated up earlier was over. The restaurant manager invites Martin and Lira to eat at his restaurant for free as an apology from him, Martin and Lira agree.

The manager of the restaurant serves delicious food that becomes the mainstay menu in his restaurant.

Martin and Lira ate quietly. Martin was happy to see the Lira eating voraciously. However, Martin felt guilty towards Lira, as the incident was completely unexpected.

Unlike Martin, Lira eats with shame. This was the first time in her life that Lira ate at a fancy restaurant with delicious food.
