BEING THE WIFE OF HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW
CHAPTER 74. PROMISE THAT
"Are you crazy? It's still less. Even to pay off the flowers alone is still far from enough." snapped a burly and large man.
A room big enough to be inside the nightclub where Vicky and his friends were gathered, that night seemed very gripping. A middle-aged but still big man sat haughtily in a chair that was like a throne to him. Two black-clothed bodyguards stood to the left and right of the person. And a few more stood at some point in the room.
A man was standing in the middle with a look down. His body trembled slightly from fear.
"Sorry boss. But lately I have no more income," said the man.
"You can't lie to me, Vicky. I know that your rich girlfriend just gave you money to buy a car" said the man, often referred to by the name of Roni's boss.
Roni's boss is the owner of a club where Vicky often plays gambling. And because of the frequent loss, Vicky was tempted to borrow money from Roni so that he could continue playing. At first Vicky always wins, making himself eager to continue playing. Over time, however, luck began not to side with him. Vicky suffered a losing streak. Instead of stopping, the man continued to borrow money again and again. Until now the debt record plus the interest has been very large.
Boss Roni who had begun to grow furious with Vicky who did not want to pay and impressed always run away to hide finally forced to drag the man to face him.
That night, Vicky who had just walked around in his new car, had to be stopped by some people who were Roni's men. Knowing that they are Roni's men, Vicky also tried to escape. He stepped on the gas pedal a bit deep so that the car drove very fast. However, Roni's subordinates are not random people. They are the chosen and the expert. Vicky's car stopped after they broke the glass.
Still unwilling to give up, Vicky was about to run from their pursuit. However, Roni's men swiftly caught him and slightly beat him until in the end Vicky gave up and wanted to come with them. And here he is now. Standing in the room of Boss Roni with a face that was bruised everywhere.
Vicky remained silent. In his brain he was thinking how he could get out of this Roni problem. The amount of debt he owes to boss Roni is huge. He could have sold his new car to pay off the debt. But this man is too arrogant to do that. The car he just bought is the latest. Yes, although one windshield must be destroyed after broken by Roni's men.
"Please give me some time, boss. I will try to pay more" said Vicky. That's all he can do now. Begging and pleading. Because he was also confused what to do. Moreover, the pain in his body that was beaten earlier had started to feel very painful.
"good. I'll give you a week. And during that time my men will continue to monitor you so that you do not try to escape again" said boss Roni. Vicky let out a sigh of relief. At least today he can survive the infamous cruelty of boss Roni with his cold hands. Now all Vicky needs to do is figure out a way to pay off the man's debt. And of course Vicky only has one goal if he is having financial problems. Who else if not the lover, Lian.

Rama, Kian, Araya's mother and Grandpa Dul are gathered together in Lukman's father's office in his family's company. As for Lian, she did not want to come and chose to sleep at home instead of having to come with them and meet with Rama and his twin sister. That afternoon, Rama had just finished paying the severance pay to all the employees and fired them all.
Araya's mother was crying on the sofa. Sitting next to him stroking his mother's shoulders.
"Mother relax. Don't cry like this" said Kian soothingly.
"Why is everything like this, son? Your father took pains to keep the company growing but why is it now like this?" racau the mother. He was very sad because their family company had to be destroyed like this.
"Everything is our destiny, ma'am. And I'm sure there will be a miracle behind all this" Kian said.
"Mother just relax. The company was not completely destroyed. Dad's company is still there, it's just that we're going to start over. And this time we'll make sure there won't be any more thorns in it.
Araya's mother looked at the daughter-in-law.
"Son, what stole the 500 million from the company's account was the father's treasurer as well?" ask Araya's mother. Rama and Kian stared at each other. He couldn't possibly say if the one who had stolen the money was his own son.
"Mom, whoever he is, we don't have to talk about it anymore, yes" Kian said.
"But kid, if we know the guy, we can report him to the police station, right?"
"Mom.." call Rama. The middle-aged woman looked back at the son-in-law.
"Mom doesn't have to think about it. Everything that happened to my father's company is my responsibility now. So you don't need much thought. All you need to do is keep yourself healthy. Poor future grandchild mom. She would have wanted to be carried with her grandmother if she had been born."
Araya's mother smiled bitterly hearing the son-in-law say the word grandson. His mind now even thought what if Rama knew if the woman who was pregnant with his child was not his wife Lian, but his sister-in-law Kian. Will the men accept Kian and their children. Or will Rama hate Kian and drive him out of his life?
"Son, do you want to promise me one thing?" mother Araya said to Rama.
"Say Mom! What'sthat?" ask Rama.
"Whatever happens in the future, promise me that you will believe in the mother of your child and will always love and care for the mother of your children," said Ms. Araya with a trembling tone.
Araya's mother deliberately used the word mother of your son, because it meant she would promise to protect and love Kian, not Lian.
"I promise you, Mom."
