I know you're cheating

I know you're cheating
Prayer of Tika



Erik was stunned with a face that looked down. Both of his hands covered his face which held a tremendous frustrating burden. The man breathed a long sigh again several times. His ears were too deaf to hear the mouth of his mother and sister who had been talking without a semicolon.


"Mama doesn't want to know! You have to force Varissa to give you what you want. If you need to, you're upset with him. The child indeed occasionally must be taught to know his role as wife and daughter-in-law," said Retno while holding a snob.


"It's not that easy either, Ma! Anyway, Mama Sama Tika why the hell, use the event to get there all?" erik was upset. His mother and Tika only further clouded the atmosphere between him and Varissa.


Retno. Refusing to be blamed. "Mama to go there just want to ask for 30 million money, Rik! Wrong?"


Erik was at a loss for words. Justjust anyone? Does his mother think that nominal is nothing?


"But, Mama shouldn't be mad at Varissa either, right?"


The middle-aged woman snorted. His hands were crossed in front of his chest. "Where is Mama not angry that your wife's behavior is teaching? If it wasn't because she was rich, then maybe Mama would have blessed your marriage in the past. We are still descendants of the Ningrat family, Rik! Mana deserves to have a family relationship with the descendants of commoners like him. Moreover, he is not a Javanese tribe," said Retno at length.


Yes, from the first Retno never liked Varissa. The only thing he was interested in from his daughter-in-law was his money. The reason really does not make sense in this age. Just because Varissa comes from Borneo Island and not from Java Island like them. According to Retno, women who are not from Java are not virtuous women. In fact, if her eyes could be slightly opened, then naturally the middle-aged woman could clearly see who was actually not virtuous. Is it really Varissa or is it their own family?


During this time Varissa has tried to be humble and polite in force. Never once did the woman deny the words of her two in-laws even though sometimes their requests were a little heavy for Varissa to run. For example, when his father-in-law asked one of his birth father's restaurants to give to him, Varissa nodded in agreement even though it felt too heavy. Because, the restaurant is a restaurant that became the forerunner to grow and develop rapidly canned food processing company that is now inherited by the late father to him.


"Absolutely, Papa doesn't have any money until you have to go to Varissa?"


"Nothing. Papa's business has another decline in turnover in the last two months. In fact, Mama's savings were taken to cover booming restaurant expenses," Retno replied grumbling.


"If so, don't shop for anything first. Mama began to learn frugal from now until Erik's plan succeeded. Yea?" Erik tried to persuade Retno.


"Keep, what's my birthday, Bang?" chirps Tika who began to riled when she heard the request of the Brother to her mother.


Erik looked at his sister's face. All the patience he had was almost exhausted in the face of two matre women in his family.


"Rayain's at home, can't you?"


Tika. Both of his legs he stomped to the floor voicing objections. "Will I be ashamed in front of my friends?"


Erik's jaw tightened. He rubbed the tired face back violently. "So, how are you going?" He stretched out both his arms. "Papa has no money. My brother doesn't have either. Who wants to pay the cost to whom? You think ballroom rental at D'Hotel is cheap?"


Tika again stomped her feet in anger. "Eat him, don't just get paid for a big affair! The turn of the adek itself was even confused. Brother is outrageous, you know? Tika I swear to let Abang and Mauren's affair be found out with Ms Varissa!" tika said loudly while running towards her room which was on the second floor.


"Acts... Keep your talk. Tika.." call Erik not accept. However, his little sister had already arrived upstairs and chose to ignore Erik's screams.


"God, Rik! Don't respond," entertain Retno.


Not without reason he's that scary. Because, Tika's character is indeed impressed bad. If he is already angry with someone, then he will not think long to repay the actions of that person. He doesn't care if it's his family.


"Eat him, you speed up your plans, dong! Time's just a signature doang should take two more years?"


Erik's head wanted to explode. "The problem is, Varissa and I are fighting, Ma!" erik was upset.


"Loh, why?" ask Retno wonder.


Erik closed his eyes. Explaining anything to his mother would have no effect either. Boro-boro solution, most of which he can only bursts of annoyance his mother who actually makes the thread in his crumpled head increasingly tangled.


"Mom don't need to know," Erik replied as he hurried to leave his parents' house.


******


While elsewhere, a middle-aged man who was none other than Aaron, the father of Erik seemed to be smiling broadly when receiving 25 million cash from the neat-looking man before him. Aaron smiled broadly as he counted the money in the envelope he received. There are 975 million more than 1 billion from the deal. That's quite a lot of numbers for the sale of a small restaurant that he has been managing.


"It's okay I sold this ugly restaurant. After all, the more days its customers are also decreasing. Varissa will also definitely not mind because basically this restaurant is already legitimately mine!" said the middle-aged man inwardly.


"Sir Aaron, how about you sign now? You've known me for a long time, right? Do you still have doubts about me?" The well-dressed man in front of Aaron spoke as he handed over a piece of paper transferring ownership of the restaurant to the middle-aged man.


"Wouldn't we just wait until the rest of the money is in my hands, Mr Gisam?" harun said a little doubtfully. What if he's lying? Although this man in front of him is a loyal customer of his restaurant, but he is only limited to knowing the man by name and workplace only. The rest, he doesn't know anymore.


The person called Gisam laughed a little. Casually, he took out a business card from behind his expensive suit pocket.


"This is my business card, Mr. Aaron! If Mr. Aaron still doesn't believe me, please just come to this office. And..," Gisam pulled out his phone. A message from the contact read 'Secretary Melia' she showed Aaron.


"This is a message from my secretary. He apologized for accidentally carrying the check I should have given Mr. Aaron in the file he took out of town. And Melia can only return the check in two weeks. That's why, I can only pay DP first" Gisam explained calmly.


Aaron read the message after goal. However, doubt seems to have not disappeared from his brain.


"No problem, Mr. Gisam! I'll sign it once your Secretary gives me that check."


"Then Gisam pulled out a brown envelope with 25 million in front of Aaron. "Better our deal is cancelled, sir! I need this resto as soon as possible because I have to renovate it soon. There's a client from Amsterdam coming here. And, he really likes the special cuisine in this restaurant. But, honey! He doesn't like the atmosphere of the place. So, maybe I'll just find somewhere else" continued Gisam.


After feeling the decision was already in the final, Gisam finally stood up. Put the money back in the inner pocket of his suit and the paper he asked Mr. Aaron to sign.


"I'm sorry, Mr. Aaron!" pamit Gisam smiled.
