Retno squeezed both her hands in agitation. Meanwhile, her sister Ratna kept turning her face away from her sister's son-in-law.
"Mama with Auntie, why? How come you are so silent? I heard you guys laughing."
"So, did you hear Mama's talk with your aunt?" Finally, Retno ventured to ask instead of guessing it was unclear.
Varissa raised both of her eyebrows. He pretends to know nothing. "No. What, Mama and Aunt again talking about what?"
Chest Retno and Ratna directly plong. Both do not know that what they are dealing with is a person who is much smarter to pretend than they are.
"So, Auntie with Mama you again discuss the latest collection of diamonds Bu Indah. Good-nice, Va!" sambar Ratna holding Varissa's hands. A pretty smile he showed. A sign that his speech just now was a subtle insinuation for Varissa to buy him the diamond.
"Yes, Va! Mama has a crush on a diamond ring. That's really good! I can get 6 months credit!" retno who moved seats. The two women are currently sitting flanking Varissa with a deadly seduction they are trying to throw.
"Keep, why don't you buy it?" ask Varissa who pretends to be insensitive. In fact, if he is the usual Varissa, then surely he will ask his mother-in-law to buy the diamond using a debit card that Varissa has.
"That's her. My mom has no money at all. Papa's business is not good anymore. So, yeah so. Only you can swallow spit," replied Retno with a clear face.
"You buy it for your Mama, Va! It's not expensive, though! Only 120 million. Hey, Auntie wants to too. But, Auntie's money is only 70 million. The rest, you add, yes! How's it?" persuaded Ratna not to lose.
Varissa smiled a little. He looked at Retno and Ratna's faces in turn and said, "Sorry, Ma! Sorry, Auntie! Va does not want to buy it. But, Va's savings have also begun to thin out. If you can, Mama and Aunt pay a credit."
"You're the one paying for it?" ratna asked with sparkling eyes.
"Pay each one, Tan. Va said he didn't have any money, right? Or, if you also have no money, mending should not be forced to buy. The ends, it can even be difficult later."
Retno and Ratna's faces suddenly sour. Ratna even let go of Varissa's hands violently and turned her sitting position to turn her back to Varissa.
"If it is not the intention to buyin, do not use pretentious reasons do not have money. You stingy!" sulkan Ratna swagger.
"Mama's going to the back for lunch. Tika back home again. You, if you want to stay here, just sit down. If you want to go home, it's okay too" Retno said as she stood up and hurried to leave Varissa and Ratna in the living room.
"I want to go home too, Mom! Lazy talking to this stingy fellow," cried Ratna as she stared back at Varissa.
Varissa again could only laugh at the behavior of Mother and Aunt Erik. The two women were actually fishing the limits of the patience Varissa reached to its peak. Thats okay. Because the purpose of Varissa came here did want to greet before launching an attack.
"We see, Auntie! Until when the aunt's haughty attitude will last." Varissa smile. He grabbed a tote bag lying on the table before leaving the house without saying goodbye to his mother-in-law.

"Mas, when are you really going to divorce Varissa?" Again. The unbored question Mauren asked again buzzed in Erik's ear.
"You're patient, dong! You think it's easy to ask Varissa to sign the asset transfer letter?" erik said with a slightly annoyed tone. Indeed, all this time Erik deliberately stalling time? No. gabe. He tried hard but the moment was always not right.
Mauren clucking. While rearranging his patient's clothes, he looked at Erik with a fed-up look.
"I'll give you one month. If within a month you don't make it either, I'll tell Varissa straight away that we've been cheating."
Erik's eyes were perfectly rounded. "You crazy? You want to make us both fall into poverty?" tanyakanya.
Erik closed his eyes to dampen the emotions that re-emerged because of the words of Mauren.
"You've known the consequences of being an actor all along, right? Then why do you mind now? Didn't you come first and offer your body for free to me?" erik reply was no less furious. The man did not even think that his words just now could have hurt Mauren's feelings even more.
"Yes...,"
"What?" cut Erik out of frustration. "If you dare tell Varissa the truth about our relationship, you will leave me at that very moment. Remember that!" sweat Erik before stepping away from Mauren's nursery.
Both of Mauren's hands were tightly clenched. Tears filled her eyelids. One blink, the tears poured down his cheeks as his echoing cry filled the room.
"It's all because of you, Varissa!"
A glass of drinking water on the nightstand then he grabbed it and threw it to hit the wall.
"Review you, Varissa! Akh...," he cried in frustration while pulling his own hair.

Meanwhile, after meeting his father-in-law, Varissa again continued the journey to the office of his late father's lawyer. Not alone, Doctor Imran was also present to accompany Varissa in discussions with Mr. Reno.
"Where's the point, Om?" ask Varissa when she realizes that Dikta has not yet come.
"Today the Dikta is absent. No longer feeling well he said," replied Dr. Imran.
"Dikta's sick?" ask Varissa in surprise.
"It's just a fever" replied Dr. Imran again. "Om's sent a heat-lowering drug to his apartment, really. So, you don't need to worry," the old man said calmly.
"Cock Dikta can get sick?" ask Varissa again.
Doctor Imran and Mr. Reno looked at each other in wonder. The two begin to realize that Varissa seems to be beginning to pay attention to Dikta. Of course both are happy. Because, the possibility of all the dreams of Varissa's father to make Dikta his son-in-law could have been delivered even though a little late.
"Yes, obviously you can, Va! Dikta's an ordinary man too." Mr. Reno said in a joking tone.
Varissa pressed her lips. If so, he knows too. I mean, what cause? That's the purpose of Varissa's question.
"So, you're really going in the office again?" ask Mr. Reno back on the topic today.
"Yes, Om! Va plans to get rid of all the parasites that have been eating away at the company until it can be this far," said Varissa who returned seriously while pointing to a paper containing sales data and corporate loan debt that the amount did not make sense.
"But are you okay? All the perpetrators of corruption in your Papa company are none other than your husband's own family," Mr. Reno said bluntly.
"It's okay, Om! Precisely because of that. Va wants to teach people who don't know how to be grateful, including Va's own husband."
Doctor Imran smiled slightly. On the pat Varissa's shoulders gently brimmed with pride.
"Om grateful your eyes are finally open, Va!"
