Husband Setting

Tanna's Punishment

Two luxury cars stopped almost simultaneously at a star hotel. They went down and went straight in with the guidance of one of their confidants. The nervous face could not be hidden by the man, while the woman looked stiff until her hands clutched her luxury handbag. From the looks of it he was hiding an incredible annoyance.

They boarded an elevator that would take them to meet someone who had been waiting for them. The silence paused for a moment.

"It's your business, why should I come here?" Alma, the woman with sharp eyes and bold make up, glanced cynically at the man standing stiffly beside her.

The man standing with his hands in his pants pocket smiled sinisterly. "Try to remember, did I call you?"

"Well, whether you want to call me or not, I'm finally here! I left an important meeting to benefit your business!" sahut Alma ketus.

Husain faced his wife with disdain. "Your important meeting definitely paid off with this important meeting! If Harris Dirgantara's meeting us in person, I'm sure it's a big project! Your resort business you'll leave behind so imagine the benefits you can't get even if you work your whole life!"

Alma fiercely replied to her husband, "And that profit you will always get without the slightest you giving it to me! As usual, right?"

"Alma .. if Harris will include your little business in cooperation, of course I will share it according to your capacity! But I think you're here just-as my wife! Wife-of-Husain-Albarak!"

Husain chuckled as Alma growled in annoyance whenever he was belittled by it. For him, his love for Alma has frozen ever since Alma chose to live on island B and do business there, leaving behind his family. Meanwhile, Husain was still working under his brothers and living in simplicity. Alma who comes from a family can not live a simple life, he chose to go and continue the family business that is always proud. Husain finally succeeded in his efforts after the inheritance was divided equally and Husain's own efforts were increasingly patronizing.

Alma wanted to retaliate but the elevator had stopped, both of them dumbstruck when led to a room instead of talking at a hotel resto. That important?

"Good night, Mister!" Harris welcomed the two men who were pecking at the door. There, there were famous lawyers, Hatman France, Excel, Riko, Rega, and some people who went straight out and closed the door.

One thing that crossed Husain's mind was that he had done something wrong. Butwhat?

"What is this, my friend?" Husain welcomed Harris' remarks with a casual attitude despite his shivering heart.

"Just want to have a heart-to-heart conversation with you, given your busy life, I think this is all I can do so you can take your time." Harris took Husain on the couch, and was greeted with respect by Excel.

"I don't think this has anything to do with business!" whispered Alma as they sat down. Husain only answered him with a slow breath.

"How are you, Mr. Husain!" the French Hatman's voice is always blaring so it looks more like a bluff than a greeting.

"Good, very good ...!" they shook hands and shook, then let go of each other. Husain seemed speechless when the situation here felt tight.

"I don't think we need to feel stale anymore considering your time is very narrow." Harris affirmed his attitude, when the two people in front of him had a look of confusion.

Riko immediately thrusts out a few photos, then a tablet that displays the footage as Tanna enters the hotel where the attempted abduction of Excel took place. The two old men were getting more and more clueless.

"This is the result of the actions of your son, Mr and Mrs Husain!" Harris's voice grew increasingly unfriendly in the face of the old man's incomprehension. "You as a parent certainly know, how your child has behaved all this time!"

"You're saying Tanna intended to use this photo to demean you, is that it?" Husain drew the conclusion. His eyes clearly showed doubt.

"Still not believing?" ask Harris. Riko who heard that came out and took one of the men who took Excel.

"I testified, and this is the culprit!" Rega came forward to give an explanation. "I caught it myself, Tannalah the culprit. He, Diego, and a guy named Josh who did the kidnapping to Excel!"

Husain and Alma sculpted, Alma—more Husain— did not expect at all, his son was able to do such a deed. Looks disgusting.

"But for what?" Husain certainly has not reached his son's motive of crime.

"Ask your own son, Sein. He also masterminded this video." Harris showed Husain a video that vilified his family. Husain froze again in disbelief at the video.

"Actually I can't bear to say this, Sein .. considering our friendship, but my family is in danger. So here I want to give you two choices, I teach your son a lesson or you do it yourself. We are ready with all the evidence and witnesses. It's Diego we'll soon compose."

"Just look at the number of people involved, there will certainly be many demands that we will make. Witnesses increase by one, demands add one. Even when Diego was caught, he was the key to the case. Isn't that right, Mr Hatman?" Harris continued.

Husain looked at the occupants of the room one by one. Then his gaze fell on Excel, Harris' stepson who became the subject of this problem. He knows that Tanna likes Excel, perhaps, she's the cause of Tanna's vengeance.

"Ris, we've been in office for a very long time, just because your stepson has nothing to do with you—"

Harris widened his eyes with all the anger. "Just because my blood doesn't flow in her body, doesn't mean I consider them other people, Sein. If so, we are only friends, why should I be kind and waste my time solving this problem with family? We don't have a blood relation, so we'll meet in court!"

Harris reflected the anger that had ignited his axis. He was tired of being patient and letting his children get hurt just to get immoral speech like this. Supposedly, he punished the boys himself.

Husain gasped, but he budged and intended to fight even though Harris had flared up. Even Alma was so frightened that she slapped her husband's arm so hard she could humble herself.

"Sir, please give us some time to talk to our son. Please, Master!" alma Pinta.

"Ris, you're destroying our friendship. You no longer appreciate our good relationship during—" Husain never finished saying, Alma has pulled him to rest.

"It is precisely because I still respect you as a friend, Sein .. otherwise I have reported this case a long time ago. Please, the money if pursued continues there will be no end, Sein. Are you lacking enough of your wealth now? I see every project offer you always come!" Harris still struggles with anger, but he softens a bit as Excel and Rega calm down.

Husain looked down, he was so ashamed that what Harris said was true.

"Sein, I ask that in addition to punishing your son, you should also punish yourself. Your son became like that because of you. You are negligent as parents, busy with work. Your child grows up without any supervision or attention. Feeling that everything can be solved with money" Harris continued.

While Alma shed tears, Husayn just woke up from the dead. Pale and stiff.

***

At home, Tanna is enjoying the victory that she has achieved, all day news about Jen spread uncontrollably. Massive slurs come across all over social media. He even told Nella to participate in the raid of Jen's social media account. Unfortunately, Jen is busy persuading Darren to marry her, without even seeing the commotion on her social media account.

And again, because Mark is still languishing sweetly in prison, Tanna could not celebrate more festive this victory.

When the door of his room opened, he immediately got up and held his breath. Bottles of drinks scattered undisturbed, he had not had time to finish. But he immediately lowered his expression. Nella stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Why did Mama come home?" her tanya was cynical and her hands crossed at the chest.

"Tan, Mama's broke .. This house was confiscated! We gotta move, kid!" Alma expressed sad and indeed because he could not bear if he had to lie to his son, his tears came out without being prevented. Which mother could bear when she found out her son was going to jail and she couldn't help him. Alma pretends to be broke to scare Tanna.

Tanna broke her head to the side indifferently, "There's still Papa whose money flows like the Nile." Tanna's laughter echoed, then a second later, she seemed to lose her voice.

"Brother Tanna, here's your arrest warrant!"

The heavy voice of a policeman who came to him immediately, made Tanna inching backwards and shook her head. A split second he lost his voice, but the next second he thrashed.

"Mrs ... Tanna is not wrong, Ma ... Tanna didn't kidnap Excel, Tanna loved her, Ma. That video wasn't me, it was Diego. Ma ... Please set me free, Ma!" shout Tanna.

Alma roared and collapsed, while outside, Husain wailed bitterly to see his son in chaos and horror. He has made a sweet girl into a monster.
