Crazy Rich Looking for Love

Chapter 113: Playing ball and dolls

Ditya stood up and immediately approached his mother. A special guest who never expected at all. In 35 years of his life, this was the first time that his mother set foot into the residence of Halim Hadinata. Be in the same room with Daddy and Mommy.

"Du bist schoon." (You are beautiful).

She praised her mother in German. Then, it kissed both of its mother's cheeks before hugging the middle-aged woman tightly. Unusual appearance, Mama Ditya tonight looks classy in a shanghai dress. Not to be outdone by Mrs Meliana Hadinata.

"Danke's." (Thank you )

Mama Ditya patted her son's cheek softly after their embrace slipped. Happy of course felt by the woman, can sit together and seja with Halim Hadinata and Meliana Hadinata. He feels appreciated.

Mama Ditya turned to greet Halim Hadinata who was still sitting and smiled at her from a distance.

"Thank you for the invitation, Ko." Mama Ditya walked over to Halim. Hugging and sticking her cheeks on both cheeks of Halim's wrinkles to maintain modesty.

"How are you, Ko?" ask Mama Ditya gently. A very different attitude to his day. Even the woman repainted her hair. Visible from the thick black hair that is carried simple.

"Good." Halim's short answer, patting Mama Ditya's shoulders gently.

"Ci, how are you?" Mama Ditya switched to say hello to Meliana Hadinata. The woman had been standing up since then, preparing to welcome.

The same embrace Mama Ditya gave to Meliana Hadinata, pasting both cheeks like the Halim family custom of welcoming the people closest to her. Since entering the neighborhood of Halim Hadinata, of course he learned many things. Including simple things like this.

"Good news. You're still as pretty as you used to be." Meliana answered kindly and invited Mama Ditya whose real name is Lily to sit next to her.

Seeing that, Ditya hurriedly approached and pulled the chair for his mother to sit on.

"I'm glad you can join us here" said Ditya with sparkling eyes.

After everyone sat down, Halim looked at Frolline. Even her daughter-in-law did not stand up and greet her mother-in-law. Frolline only sent a single smile that was replied with the same smile by Mama Ditya.

The dinner went well without a hitch. No conversation, Halim just opened the sound after the clinking of spoons and chopsticks was not heard anymore. There was just a simple chat when there was no more activity on the dining table.

"Ko, I'm especially inviting your mom tonight, because she's the most important woman in your life. And this is a gift from me for your wife's pregnancy." Halim said as she linked her wrinkled fingers on the dining table.

"If asked who is happiest when you hear your wife is pregnant, of course your mama is one of them. She will soon be Nai-nai for the child in your wife's womb."

The man stopped blabbing for a moment. With a hand-waving code, he asks Joe to come closer.

"This is Mr" said Joe, handing over a small, velvet-lined red jewelry box.

"You can go now." Halim gave the order by shaking his hand.

No chatter or whispers at the dinner table. Everyone was silent and waiting for the head of the family to make a sound. Halim looked at the two women sitting next to him not far away.

Meliana Hadinata, the wife who has accompanied him for almost fifty years and Lily, the biological mother of her son Ditya Halim Hadinata. Of course, the two women are equally meaningful in their lives.

The gaze of the seventy-three year old man turned to the right side of the table. There was Ditya who was sitting while tightly grasping his wife's hand.

"Ko, this is for you." Halim thrust the jewelry box that Joe had just handed over to Ditya without opening it first. With his left hand silently grasping Meliana's wrinkled hand, Halim did not want any split in the middle of the family just because of this trivial matter. He didn't want his wife to be jealous of the little things but it was their family tradition. He cannot mess up all the rules in his big family, rules that have existed since previous generations.

"Bequeath it to your eldest son. Because your son will carry our name and family clan. Your eldest son will also occupy the top position of Halim Group in the future." Halim ordered while glancing towards Meliana. He did not want his wife to feel neglected or neglected. However, the woman who had been with him all this time.

"Yes, Dad."

"I hope ... with you Halim Group will get stronger and bigger. My hope is that's all."

"Yes Dad."

"Not until there is division in our family. About Marisa, I've arranged it. The child must certainly return to his place after decades of opposition. His rights remain even though I have removed him from our family" Halim said.

"Yes Dad."

"I'm tired. I'm gonna take a break now." Halim looked towards Lily.

"Joe will take care of everything for you. Soon he'll have someone drive you to the hotel." Halim told his second wife before calling Joe to take her to the room.

A cold chill broke out in Ditya's lavish room. The couple is still awake. Sitting side by side on the bed leaning against the stacked pillow, staring at the open jewelry box in Ditya's hand.

A jade ring with a simple model was neatly stored inside the box. I don't know what makes it so special. The look was mediocre, but when getting it the whole Halim Group was immediately within his grasp.

"Ko, I saw Mommy's face when Daddy handed you this jewelry box" said Frolline leaning comfortably on Ditya's shoulder.

"Hmm."

"I feel sorry for Mommy."

"Hm ... Mommy knew today would happen. Since marrying Daddy, Mommy must have understood all the rules of the family. He has prepared his heart. Even things like this I've known about a long time ago. The boy in the Halim family was so precious. Even Daddy was willing to marry again to get a boy." Ditya.

"If I don't have a son, then do I have to let Koko remarry like Mommy?" ask Frolline again.

Ditya smiled.

"Did you allow Koko to remarry?" The question back. Smiling rubbed against Frolline who looked pouting.

Frolline shook her head. "No, Koko cannot remarry" said Frolline.

"Yes already. If you can't remarry, fight to give birth to a son for Koko." Ditya closed the jewelry box and put it on the nightstand.

"If I still can't .. What should I do?" ask Frolline.

"We're programming baby tubes." Dita answered casually.

"Ko, I'm serious!" grouse Frolline.

"Hahaha .. don't think about Schatzi. Time changes, times change. When that happens, all the rules are in my hands. It's up to me to give Halim Group to whom. I don't mind my daughter, girl or boy. Whatever the gender, they're my kids. Who was born from the womb of the woman I love" said Ditya. His hand grabbed onto Frolline's shoulder and held her tightly.

"Rather than dizzy with Daddy's words, you better let me make sure that my son who is now in your womb is a boy or a girl" said Ditya nosy.

"How can you?"

"Yes, it has to be seen. Take a peek, Fro. I can do it, you're quite resigned and don't protest much. If you play ball inside means my son. If you're playing a doll, it means my daughter." Ditya.

"If there's a doll and a ball in it, Ko?"

"Huh?" Ditya.
