AFTER THE DIVORCE

Season 2 Episode 16: Dedicated to In-laws

“If I knew how to change my mother-in-law, I'd already done it.”

Episode 16: Serving the Father-in-law

“So, this is the story, the Ben, so my mother-in-law's leaning in, what about?”

Kimo's question that sounded so innocent following the man's expression, did not necessarily make Kai's heartache pull over. I don't know, but hearing the man who loved her was rumored to be a victim of Piera who incidentally was a seductive woman, it felt like there was a busy slashing in her heart.

Finding Kainya just pouted, Kimo was even more confused. “Your expression indicates that you are jealous of my mother-in-law,” said Kimo who started playing the video he meant.

Not long after, Kaiya just suddenly menoyor Kimo's head.

“Aduh ... What does this mean? Why are you shaking my head? Sick know, Kai!” kumuh Kimo while holding the former toyoran Kai, and stared inexhaustibly at the woman concerned.

Kaina snorted annoyed even agitated. “Not much comment! You are fussy more than the mothers who again bid the price of vegetables on the market!”

Kimo shakes inexhaustibly. “Not so self-conscious, you! Soon, you will also be mothers!” cibir Kimo who then decided to focus on the video that he finally played after being delayed because Kainya to menoyor his head.

“I thought, you'd be with Gio. But it turned out to be stuck in Ben ..” Kimo smiled amusedly at the figure of Ben in the video.

In addition to embarrassment, Kainya also increasingly resentful to Kimo who was busy mocking him.

“If I ask you to wait for me, do you want?” ben said seriously and hoped. Then Ben looked down while biting his lower lip. “One week no see, don't you miss me?”

“Ehm!” Kimo cleared his throat amusedly and deliberately mocked Kaiya.

“Kimo, enough! Focus on the problem I mean!” kainya's scolding is very want to tear Kimo to pieces, if only he did not have the need with the man.

Kimo cleared his throat and tried to be as relaxed as possible. Although it is not easy he did because what Ben did for Kaiya really made him amused. So, he deliberately bit his tongue so as not to laugh or just smile himself.

“Tell me, what can make you believe, that I really love you?”

“I'm serious, Kai .. after this, if you've seen this video and are willing to give me a chance, please contact me.”

“You know, the past week, I've been feeling really depressed. That woman named Piera .. she changed everything. If something happens to me, you meet him for me?”

After the video ended, Kainya immediately cleared her throat. “Ben's accident was intentionally made. In other words, someone deliberately wanted to kill Ben. Ben's car brakes were damaged, while the CCTV at the last restaurant before Ben drove was suddenly damaged!”

Kai seriously explained. Kimo was held in doubt. In any case, Piera was his mother-in-law, and Kimo also had a duty of devotion to the woman.

Kimo was silent while sighing deeply. “I have to how?” tanyanya then while giving her phone to Kaiya.

“You have to help me meet your mother-in-law!” balas Kanya.

Kimo frowned. “For?” he said while tilting his head, staring at Kai's cluelessness.

Kainya glared in disbelief. “Hei, Kimo! You realize, asking me like that? Come on, don't keep joking! I came all the way here just to ask for your help because I couldn't possibly ask Rara!” said furious.

Kimo bowed listlessly. “But what will you do with that video? You think it could be evidence?” he looked at Kai full of certainty.

“Video is not enough to be a proof of Kai! Moreover, do you know for yourself who my mother-in-law is? Her husband loved her very much. Even Mr. Roy was willing to get rid of his son and first wife just to please my mother-in-law!”

“Trust, Kai. I do this not only in the form of being devoted to my mother-in-law, but because I care for you too.”

“Ben is a great man. If indeed you think the video can be evidence, you can simply hand it over to the police without the need to see my mother-in-law first.”

Her misguided kai became silent at a loss.

“But please, don't say this to Rara. I don't want my wife to be more distressed by what Piera's mother did, even if what you think is true,” Kimo added pleading.

Rara's life was too heavy just because of Piera's work. So, if what Kanya suspects is also true, Kimo has no idea what will happen to his wife. Not to mention, the judgment from Kiara was not over either. It could be, new facts about Piera will also make her mother make fun of Rara.

“Kasian Rara's. But I got pissed myself off at your mother-in-law!” lirih Kaiya who suddenly became furious again.

Kimo. “If I knew how to change my mother-in-law, I would have done it a long time ago. Then it was before. I have to go back to work let alone I have promised Rara to go home quickly.”

“Oh, okay. Thanks, yes. Sorry to interrupt your time too. Regarding this, I make sure not to get to Rara, except Rara who knows herself,” reply Kaiya is friendly.

Kimo nodded and then left Kaiya.

“Kasian Kimo equals Rara. Not dear if I am the one they are, Kaiya inner”.

***

Rara was confused when a group of glamorous-style mothers actually entered Keinya's restaurant, while he was there and was compiling several books following web promotion material of his novel.

“This is his wife's restaurant Yuan Fahreza, right?” babble one of the mothers, and wear a knee-length white sleeveless dress.

Which makes Rara not okay, of course because Kiara became part of the mothers. What should he do, while dodging is already very late because the group of mothers who would have seven people following Kiara, already in his eyes?

“Well, fitting married, reportedly Yuan also love his wife helicopter!” added the long-haired, wavy blonde woman who stood right next to Kiara even to hold her arm next to Kiara. “Eh, by the way, Yuan is Kimo's best friend to your son, right, Jeng?” continued.

All of Kiara's friends stared in disbelief at Kiara.

“Oh, yes, how is Kimo? Have you moved on from Steffy, not yet? Reportedly the Steffy also failed to marry from the current one? I think it's got karma, Steffy!”

“Iya! Already cheated on Kimi, also left after the wedding day has been a matter of weeks!”

“Yes the same as Steffy did to Kimo. Fitting again alas precisely cheating!”

When his friends were busy talking about many things even about Kimo, Kiara's focus was on Rara who was standing not far from the reception area, since Kiara accidentally saw Rara from a distance even when the petite woman was still turning her back on the arrival of her entourage.

Previously, Rara was compiling some books on the bookshelf. And from a few minutes ago, when Rara unintentionally turned to Kiara's arrival following the entourage, the woman whom Kimo was married looked at Kiara with condolence.

Now, the distance between Kiara and Rara was not less than five meters, because Kiara and the group had just entered the entrance made of glass until even from a distance, they could see the outside atmosphere or vice versa.

“Jeng Kiara, if Kimo still can not move on, just introduce my cousin. His son is beautiful, smart, even a consultant in Singapore. Kimo would love it!”

For a moment, Rara's world seemed to be spinning slowly. Even with his heart that just gets longer it becomes as if it is not beating. Rara waited for how her mother-in-law's response to directly glance at her sadistically.

“Bby. Give me the same photo hape number, well, Jeng. Rarely, right, there are beautiful, smart, established women, from fine families anyway?!” Kiara said it was full of emphasis while glancing at Rara and deliberately insinuating.

“Ah, okay okay. Directly I send via WA, yes Jeng!”

When Kiara and her friend were busy exchanging WhatsApp messages, Rara deliberately approached them with a cocky feeling. However, Rara tries to control herself without revealing her relationship with Kiara.

“Happy afternoon? Can I help you?” sapa Rara was polite for a moment after bowing. He looked at the faces of the middle-aged woman before him, so courteously.

Some of the employees there still seem to be getting ready. Some are still finishing decorating the room considering tomorrow, the restaurant will only be inaugurated. Where, at the receptionist not far from Rara, there is a special sell while distributing vocers to eat.

All the employees there wore purple hem tops, while the subordinates were compactly wearing black pencil pants. While Rara who greeted them, using white pencil pants and matching colored shirts combined with peach-colored suits. It was also what made Kiara's entourage look at Rara in confusion.

Rara smiled wider. “I'm the Manager here,” he said who then showed an identification tag clad in his neck.

“Waah, very cool. New come directly welcomed by the manager!” the woman who sent a WhatsApp message with Kiara. He clapped his hands and observed the atmosphere of the restaurant in more detail.

Entering the Keinya Restaurant, they like entering the library because in the middle is decorated with bookshelves that are about 2 meters high. The existence of bookshelves is transformed into a restaurant bulkhead because the number of tails from the middle to the end of the room. And most special, along the stairs that connect the floor of their existence with the upper floor, until decorated with colorful ornamental flowers that look so beautiful like real flowers. And if you see the concept of a beautiful restaurant like a relaxing dream garden that is also decorated with books along the stairs, it seems, books are indeed a major icon in addition to their own cuisine.

“Why is this restaurant different from other restaurants and impressed to highlight the book?” ask one of them.

Rara still snorted kindly and then blinked softly. “Keinya Restaurant is deliberately making the book as the main icon in addition to a variety of special food menus that will also characterize our restaurant. So, besides being able to be purchased even in large quantities, the books here can also be read even owned for free.”

“Any reading even children's books including textbooks, are here. Because in addition to books like the window of the world, I and Keinya as the owner of the restaurant also have book publishing.”

Rara explained in great detail. Including about the newly launched web novel and is holding a writing competition with many interesting prizes.

“Di Dream Zone! everyone has the opportunity to be a writer. And everyone is also free to get their favorite reading. Because of the Dream Zone! not only putting stories based on popularity, but also quality!”

“Although the writing is not a lot of enthusiasts, but if the writing is quality, we will always promote it and put it on the main page. This is quite fair because being a writer who prioritizes quality, is not easy.”

Only Kiara did not listen, while the six friends were so enthusiastic that they even nodded to listen to every explanation Rara. Rara showed in detail the web novel in question through a monitor screen that was next to the receptionist. So, everyone who just entered there would immediately see it. Moreover, the existence of the monitor itself is in several corners of the room and can be reached more easily.

“Wah, exciting, here! My son is also a hobby of writing!”

“Well, then, just try it, Jeng! The self-assessment system is not so burdensome for beginners!”

When Kiara's friends were busy discussing, Kiara actually broke away to the back while choking and glancing at Rara cynically. Unfortunately, Rara responded casually, even shortly after, Kimo also called.

“Iya, Darling?” answer Rara while saying goodbye to the togetherness of Kiara's friends while bowing politely following a smile. “Sup has arrived? Have you eaten the soup?”

Despite being angry with Kimo, even having to be tied to an official job that requires Rara to stay awake at the restaurant, Rara still takes the time to cook Kimo's favorite soup and deliberately use the services of an online motorcycle taxi because it cannot deliver it directly, Rara said, he sent someone to deliver him to Kimo.

Rara approached a waiter there. “Please treat the mother who wears the yellow dress well. In the food stock warehouse there is bottled drinking water, right? Please give it to him following his entourage.”

“Please, send my regards to him!”

“Darling, there are guests whose mothers? Why that concern?” kimo asked from across the street, sounding curious.

Rara was hesitant. Suddenly, he remembered Kimo who chose to deny his request. Where, the man was determined to help Piera for her service to the in-laws. And it seems, what Kimo felt last night was being felt for Kiara. He who wants to remain filial, does his best to Kiara even though the woman rejected him.

With weight and regret, Rara said, “Honey, sorry, yes, make that last night. I'm selfish .. stubborn ... when you just want to be a dutiful daughter-in-law.”

The waiter Rara asked to provide bottled mineral water, stepped in front of Rara. The young woman brought bottled water, in her bushes and brought it to Kiara's entourage.

Kiara's friends immediately greeted her warmly. The six middle-aged women took the 600 ml bottled water that was served while reviewing a smile to Rara shortly after the delivery maid pointed at Rara. From their smiles, Rara caught the gratitude. It's just that, of all, Kiara who became Rara's goal was not indifferent and did not want to receive mineral water that arrived courteously by the waiter.

Kiara's cold manner made the six friends look at her in wonder. Moreover, shortly after, Kiara actually chose to leave the togetherness of even the restaurant.
