Don't Degrade my Status

Second Meeting

I daydreamed looking out the window and those memories still lingered in my memories.

Didn't feel our trip was near the area of the papa housing complex. From the moment I got down from the car to the house I was still confused by Gio's chat intent. He kept sending me WA text messages.

"P"

"Rumi"

"Rumi"

"Why don't you bales my chat"

The short message that Gio sent. I'm still confused. Unpleasant taste is approaching. I finally just replied to her message briefly,

"Sorry Gi, I've arrived. I want to rest first. I'm tired. Sorry".my reply is short

Gio just read my reply. Maybe he understands that I want to rest. Mama also told me to rest and her night will take me to a restaurant owned by mama.

I'm not surprised that my biological parents own a lot of property and other assets. Maybe that's why someone used to kidnap me and take me out of their reach, because my biological parents are the ones who influence the economy of D city.

"Rumi baby, you eat first son, then rest" said papa

"Thank you, but Rumi was already having lunch. So Rumi take a break, pa." answered me

"Yes, baby, papa go to work first yes, we will meet at the event mom okay dear." invite my papa while stroking the top of my head.

I nodded and passed to my room. I feel happy to have met my biological parents.

"Did you see her mas? Son, I've met your dear grandmother." I muttered to myself and remembered my husband and son. I rushed to refresh my body because in this city the air was very hot for me who grew up in village B. I changed my clothes and laid my body on the bed.

Even the night came. Mama knocked on my door and came in because there was no answer from me.

"Rumi, let's get up baby" said Mama

"Yes ma." I answered briefly, still closing my eyes

"Band. Then change your clothes. Mom wait under ya baby."

"Yes mom. Thanks." answer me

I took a shower and changed the clothes my mom gave me. Dress cream the flowers below the knees are short-sleeved and plus a plain blazzer of white pearls. It was my choice but I know I'm not used to clothes that are too open.

We left and were picked up by the mama driver. And arrived at the new restaurant mama about 20 minutes. We got off and were greeted by the mama workers, and the event was about to begin.

"Jeng" Mama's friend

"Hi jeng has been here a long time?" ask mama back

"Lumayan lah to welcome Miss Latif. Is this jeng?" said my mother's friend who held my shoulder.

"Yes, this is my real son that I always tell you about. He's Arumi, my sweet boy, my dear salami aunt" said mom introducing me

I immediately greeted the aunt and the aunt kissed my forehead gently. As if I miss me so much.

"Arumi aunty, seneng met aunty" I said

"Good tan- uh beautiful mother." I replied

We laughed together a few minutes before Mother Wilna called her husband and children to meet us, they went hand in hand and looked like papa was there too.

"Rumi knew this Detha's father and Zayn's handsome daughter" said the mother

"Good night, Detha's father. Good night Zayn..."

"Rumi"..

We call the opposite names simultaneously.

"You're Rumi?" ask Zayn in surprise

I just nodded and then my mother introduced me to Detha and Zayn's father.

"Dad, Zayn's Arumi her son's mom and papa Latif who's been mother's story last week. This is the birth child of the mother and father Latif who was kidnapped" said the mother with a smile and hugged me.

"Welcome back, son. We're so glad you're here" Detha's father said

Zayn only saw me at a glance between certain and not that I was their biological child.

"Zayn why are you looking at Rumi?" ask my mom

"Not ma. Just not sure yet." he replied ceplos because he knew I was a waitress at Resort B.

"Honey, this is Latif's only company pendant and they have also done zayn DNA testing" said mother

"So positive?" ask Zayn

"Yes son." answered mom and dad in unison

Zayn then pulled my wrist and took me to the balcony of the restaurant. I'm just following and I can't fight Zayn's grip.

"You're Rumi at the resort, right?" ask Zayn

"Yes, sir, I'm at the resort."

"Hey don't be so formal this isn't where you work." replied zayn

"Why did you pull me here, Zayn? Did I do anything wrong?" ask me plain

Zayn just laughed and ruffled my hair.

"Hey, don't mess with my gini-rich hair."

"Why? Embarrassed? take it easy you're still sweet." replied zayn, holding my chin and passing away leaving me alone.

"Snitch." I muttered

I went back to my parents when the show was about to start. I saw Zayn smile at me and I replied.

"Siaalll why does his smile keep bothering me? muttered Zayn inwardly and turned his gaze towards the stage.
