Help out! I Want Skinny

Part 21's. Abdominal

Marisa lowered her face in front of Samuel. In the corner of his heart a voice reprimanded the drama he was playing. But what is possible, however, is only Samuel who can be expected to help at this time.

"I'm sorry, Ca," Samuel whispered softly as he covered Marisa's tears with his finger.

How Samuel wanted to hug the woman, but his common sense realized that Marisa was the wife of the man. Even if the embrace of comfort between friends, it feels very awkward.

"Sit down, we'll talk about this calmly. Okay?"

Marisa nodded and obeyed Samuel.

"You can start working as my personal assistant, which means that when I'm overtime you're most likely overtime too. Nia is my private secretary in the office, but she rarely goes out with me. I think I need someone to go with me wherever I go. Are you ready for indeterminate work hours and strenuous activity?" ask Samuel.

Marisa nodded steadily.

"Alright, come three more days at eight in the morning. You know, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow I'm out of town, Ca."

"Iyess! Thank you, Sam!" marisa surged with joy with her hand holding Samuel's.

Marisa then hires someone to help with work at home and take care of the children.

"Marisa, we need to talk. What do you mean bring a maid to live in our house?" arjun Protest.

"I'll start working. So I need a housekeeper to do homework and help with the needs of the children" Marisa replied calmly.

"How dare you make such a big decision without consulting me! What's my salary less until you have to find a job outside?" arjun Hardik.

"Don't I tell you we're getting a divorce? Of course I have to make a living for myself and the kids. As soon as possible I will also find a new place to live so that you and the Karmila can freely stay here" replied Marisa cynically.

Arjun just fell silent no longer answering, which for Marisa means that Arjun agreed to the divorce.

The days continued and Marisa was busy with her work. Many new things are learned after entering the world of work. Sometimes he comes home late at night when the children are fast asleep making him sometimes feel guilty for ignoring the children. He did not really expect such a situation, but now it is the only option he has to live for his future and the children.

"Ca, let's have lunch with me" Samuel took the afternoon to the office.

"Sorry, Boss. My sister-in-law Rani took me to lunch today and I agreed. There seems to be something important he wants to talk about."

"alright. Do I need to take you?"

"Don't bother, Sam. I can do it myself. Oya, if only later I'm a little late back to the office don't be angry, huh?"

"mmmmmmm. I won't be angry, but your bonus I cut," joked Samuel.

Marisa immediately put on a sullen look and sways the lips that Samuel replied with a laugh.

Twenty minutes later Marisa and Rani are already sitting together in a modest cafe not too far from the office.

"You look more beautiful and youthful since slim," said Rani.

"Oh, huh? Thank you, sister," said Marisa smiling broadly.

"You must really work hard to achieve your ideal weight."

"Oh, all this because my sister must be," said Rani sadly.

"Already, Brother. Let's eat," take Marisa while chopping the grilled salmon on her plate.

"Marisa, there's actually something Big Brother wants to tell you," Rani said in a serious tone.

"Tell me, sister," said Marisa still chewing her lunch.

"Sister, not sure where to start. However, before Brother apologized to you, Marisa," said Rani.

Marisa put down her knife and fork, then looked intently at Rani.

"It seems like a very serious thing" Marisa muttered. Preparing his ears to hear what Rani was about to say.

Rani nodded slowly and started to tell stories.

"Some time ago, Arjun told me about the state of your household. He complained about the condition of his body which he thought was too fat. As a sister and also as a woman as well as a mother, honestly I myself am sick of hearing my sister's complaints, which I think is too selfish. I explained to him whatever the circumstances of his partner, it should not change the feelings of love that exist.

"Love accepts the advantages and disadvantages of each without expressing them. However, my sister was stubborn. He said if Marisa could get back skinny she should not be offended at the babble of others who mocked his wife's fat body. He said all the ways you've tried so you can be thin, but the results are nil." Rani took a deep breath and exhaled strongly before continuing her words.

"Supported by various arguments and health reasons, Arjun managed to persuade me to back up his intentions so that you could be thin, Marisa. Somehow it finally came to us a silly and crazy idea that we were going to make a play as if Arjun was having an affair with another sexy woman. Finally we engaged a friend named Karmila, a childless young widow. Karmila is my friend and also .. mm, Arjun's ex-girlfriend in High School." Rani's voice was low at the end of the sentence. He paused for a moment and waited for Marisa's reaction. Rani pu continued his story after seeing Marisa not making any comment.

"Until you came to Mamak's house and you expressed the intention of divorce with Arjun, I just realized that the situation was not right anymore. I, Arjun, and Karmila then met and agreed to stop this charade before a prolonged misunderstanding occurred. After all, now you are also not as fat as before. At least Arjun's goal is in sight.

"You deserve to be angry, Marisa. There was really no intention to hurt you before, but instead you were really hurt. Brother also represents Arjun and Karmila apologize profusely to you for our mistakes. Forget about your intention to divorce. Arjun doesn't really have an affair with Karmila, Marisa. Believe this. It's all fake. It's not really real" Rani pinta.

Marisa shook her body in the chair. "Oh, God. It turned out that my life was full of drama," he complained looking at Rani as if in disbelief.

"Damate, Marisa. You're gonna withdraw your divorce, right?"

Marisa shakes. "Sorry, Brother. I can't."

"Why? What reason? Did you know that my parents were very saddened by the news of the divorce? They have absolutely no idea that we are the mastermind of all of that" said Rani.

"For me the Karmila and Arjun affair was not a charade."

"Come Marisa. Don't harden your heart. Didn't Arjun explain everything to you?"

"Explain what, brother?"

"Yes, as I said just now. That everything is just a game."

"Arjun never explained anything to me like Big Brother said. He never even tried to prevent me from getting a divorce. When I told you that I was going to work and that as soon as possible I was going out with the kids from our house, Arjun kept quiet. She did not struggle to maintain my presence at all" said Marisa with teary eyes.

"That's impossible, Marisa. My sister has promised that she will tell you what we really plan to do and promised to get this done" Rani said with widened eyes.
