Crazy Rich Looking for Love

Chapter 115: Halim's cold attitude

“Dad, we have to return to Jakarta. I have to work and Fro also has to take care of his company,” said Ditya after they finished breakfast.

“Ya.” Just a short answer. Halim glanced at her son, then threw a glance at the outdoor garden which was clearly visible from the wide glass windows in the dining room. Morning sunlight forced its way through the window. Directly highlight the food served on a long wooden table.

Frolline pursed her lips, from the beginning she chose silence. The same is true of Meliana Hadinata. The elderly woman in a knee-length dress and modestly bunned hair was silent, enjoying her healthy breakfast without much protest.

“Regarding the construction of a hospital with international level that you are planning ... I am studying. I can't comment yet. All I can answer now is .. for certain cities I have no problem. For the others, I'll let you know later.” Suddenly Halim shifted the subject.

For problems in the company, Halim has not interfered in making decisions, but he is still monitoring its development. Giving advice as an older and experienced person.

“As for RD Group, I'm not too sure exactly, but the decision is in your hands.” Halim commented.

Ditya.

The short chat about the company ended, Ditya got up from his seat and hugged Daddy.

“I have to go back to Jakarta now, Dad,” whispered Ditya, in between his arms. “Your health,” continued Ditya patted the old man's back slowly.

“Ya.” Halim did the same, patting Ditya on the shoulder and encouraging her son. It's his successor who will take Halim Group to higher ground.

Frolline who followed behind Ditya just bowed to hide nervously. After seeing Ditya switch hugging his mommy, he ventured out.

“Dad ... I pa ...” Frolline could not continue his sentence. Halim had already flicked her hands with a flat face. The opposite expression was shown by Halim as she hugged Ditya. Halim's attitude was really unfriendly. There was no smile, not even a word coming out of his lips.

Deg—

Frolline bowed while squeezing both of her hands. He was shaken by Halim's attitude which was still the same to him. Frolline was too hopeful after dinner last night that her in-laws would soften a little. However, that was only his wishful thinking. Although Halim welcomed her pregnancy, she was not considered at all.

Distorting his broken feelings, Frolline bailed Mommy Ditya. The woman greeted him with open arms. The smile on his face was so sad.

“Take care of your content, Fro,” Meliana Hadinata said in between hugs. His wrinkled hands rubbed gently on Frolline's flat stomach. So warm and soothing.

“Yes, Mom.

Mommy still had time to frame the two beautiful faces of Frolline and present a warm kiss on the forehead of her daughter-in-law. “Be careful on the road. If Koko is naughty, you can complain to me. I'll scold her,” her candle before taking off her daughter-in-law.

“Ya Mom.” Frolline smiled.

All the way from Surabaya to Jakarta, Frolline cried. He who does not know what causes panic. Trying to persuade and calm down, Frolline's cries grew more and more. That beautiful face was soaked with tears.

“Why else, Fro? Something wrong?” ask Dita gently. Both of his hands framed his wife's face, wiping away the tears that were imprinted on his cheeks.

Not the answer, Frolline's cries grew louder. Especially when he recalled how his father-in-law behaved. Maybe he was too hopeful to be accepted into Ditya's family. She dreamed too much, her pregnancy will make her get blessing easily.

“Why are you, Fro? Don't cry anymore. Poor our baby,” persuaded Ditya to calm down. Hugging the Frolline tightly.

“Tell me ... has Daddy not approved me yet?” ask Frolline in between the fields. The pregnant woman's body was shaking. Looking pitiful, her tears continued to flow unstoppably.

“What's up, Fro? Did Daddy say anything to you?” ditya asked, gently stroking his wife's long hair.

“No.”

“If not why think so. Everything's fine. Koko's marriage to Sandra has been cancelled. Daddy also has no plans to find a replacement.” Ditya.

“Hik .. hik .. but Daddy doesn't like me,” isak Frolline.

“One day Daddy will like you. Don't think about it, Fro. No more crying, just think about our baby,” persuaded Ditya.

“Since the beginning of Daddy did not approve of our marriage, you know that, Fro. Getting that blessing is not easy. Even Marisa's sister is still on her run and Koko won't do that. As much as possible, Koko will not do that.” Ditya.

“One day Daddy will definitely like you, admit you to everyone. Maybe not yet,” continued Ditya.

Frolline listened with a teary face.

“Fro, if you see a dress in a marketplace and you are interested. You're buying. Once the goods are delivered it does not match what you see. Not the dress you want. The dress cannot be exchanged. Will you be disappointed?” ask Ditya.

Frolline nodded.

“If it's clothes, maybe you can keep it in the closet. In the deepest part or give it to someone else. At least you can still buy a new dress,” explained Ditya.

“Daddy can't do that. Inevitably Daddy had to accept his daughter-in-law. And that's gonna take some time. Maybe Daddy's still disappointed. It's not easy for him either. Daddy needs time to get his heart right and learn to accept you. Give Daddy time, one day Daddy will accept you, Fro,” pinta Ditya.

“Hmmm.”

“Do not cry anymore. Why be a whiny like this. Like not just Frolline,” said Ditya pecked at the head of his wife.

Matt and Zoe who were sitting not far from her master could only watch in silence. Can't comment much. This was none of their business, but Frolline's cry was so heartbreaking. It even made the mistress of his master have trouble breathing.

Frolline's cry was still heard until he got off the plane even though it wasn't as loud as before. His eyes and nose were red.

“Fro, Zoe will take you to Marisa's place.” Ditya said as he clasped Frolline's hand as he went down the stairs.

“How about the company?” ask Frolline wonder. Suddenly her husband allowed her to meet Marisa without much drama and protest.

“I'll take care of it for you.”

“Really? I can see Mami .. eh Sister Marisa now?”

Ditya. “Not you want to share your pregnancy news?”

Frolline nodded.

“Going to the office I'll pick you up there. I'll call Sister Marisa,” continued Ditya.

The two split up at the airport, Ditya and Matt headed to the office while Frolline accompanied by his assistant, Zoe drove to Marisa's house. The time showed at 11:25 when the four-wheeled vehicle entered the yard of a two-story house with a high fence painted white.

The atmosphere of the house seemed quiet, only a security guard at the front post. Two cars were parked neatly, one of which Frolline recognized him very well.

“First not to the office?” said Frolline slowly. Looking at the latest black fortuner, the car owned by Firstan which was just purchased a few months ago. Frolline recalled, he himself chose and tried the car for the first time with Firstan.

Knocking on the main door, Frolline was surprised to see Firstan appear behind the door and let himself into the house.

“Mami inside is waiting for you. Your husband has contacted you, asking Mami to accompany you all day,”, Firstan said casually.

“You're not going to the office today, First?” tanya Frolline switched the conversation.

“No, I have to meet someone outside after lunch,”.

We talk again sometime. I have to get ready now,” said Firstan, stepping inside the house.
