I know you're cheating

Reason

Erik pondered his fate. This was not at all what he wanted. At least, in the last 2 months he himself has begun to hesitate to leave Varissa. The desire to control the entire property of Varissa is still great. However, seeing how Varissa treated and appreciated him all this time made Erik rethink not to leave the woman. After all, he used to love Varissa wholeheartedly before the supreme throne tempted him to start betraying her. He was not satisfied just being called the husband of the director's daughter or the daughter-in-law of the Good Food Corp family. Erik wants more. He wants to be known as the owner of Good Food Corp. itself. It was an obsession that misled him.

Already long ago, Erik was always underestimated. Although his love was sincere, people always looked doubtful towards him. Lickers, only the property of his wife and similar accusations he always got from the people around him. Eventually, Erik changed. He who was originally good finally began to devise a plan so that the people who used to gossip about him got painful replies. Plan after plan began to be neatly arranged. Starting from taking over the position of Varissa as Director, to widening want to become the owner. Coupled with the presence of Mauren and the intervention of both her parents, Erik finally completely turned towards the negative.

Varissa's feelings were no longer her thoughts. To him, that woman meant nothing more. However, when Varissa declares that she wants to part with him, Erik inexplicably feels very unhappy.

"You should be self-conscious, Varissa!" Retno pointed at Varissa's face full of emotion. "Why do you think Erik cheated? Why would he look at another woman, huh? It's all because of your fault!"

"Me?" Varissa pointed at herself.

"Yes. You!" retno agreed. "If you could give an offspring to Erik, why would he have to cheat with another woman? You barren woman!"

Varissa's tears welled up in the corner of her eyes. Instantly the woman's heart was broken by the harsh accusations of her own mother-in-law. How can a woman say such a thing to another woman?

"Children are no excuse to justify Mas Erik's affair, Ma!" Varissa wiped her fallen tears. "Liarly, however, the name of infidelity is still something very, very wrong to do regardless of the reason."

"And I'm not a barren woman like Mama said. I'm healthy, really! Only, God may not have entrusted me and Mas Erik to be parents." The face of the ex-husband sitting in front of him. Listlessly. Cowering from earlier with a tangled look.

"Oh yeah... There are many reasons for you, tuh!" accused Retno not to lose. "If it is barren, it is barren! Don't be pretentious about going anywhere. After all, Erik was a man. It's only natural that he's a khilaf once in a while! Anyway, if Erik cheated and could get a child from his affair, it's good, right? Our family can be a successor without having to tire of wishing the same woman as you. After all, isn't Erik's son also your son? Just adopt and you grow up together!" He still defended his son's behavior.

"So, according to Mama, a man who cheated on him should be given a proclamation?" ask Varissa growled.

"of course. You're not harmed by anything either, are you? In fact, you can immediately get children without having to bother."

Varissa took a deep breath hearing her in-laws statement. The middle-aged woman told Varissa to accept the child of her husband's affair. What is it, Varissa Babysister?

"If it is for Mama, the man who cheated on it is nothing, Mama should not hang ya, yes, if suddenly one day Papa came to take another woman while bringing the younger brother of Mas Erik and Tika who Mama had never known all this time," varissa said as she glanced at her male in-laws who were suddenly misbehaved when she heard Varissa's words.

"Don't make it up, Va!" said Aaron defending himself. The wife sitting next to him seemed to snort. Glared annoyed at him and also at Varissa.

"You are it, yes! It is advised by parents to even swear it! Basic insubordinate! Damn you!" bentak Retno's.

"I learned insolence and insolence from you!" varissa said casually.

"Varissa! Enough's enough!" yelled Erik mediate.

Retno who was about to jump over Varissa immediately sat back down as her hand was pulled roughly by Erik.

"Please reconsider, Va! I don't want a divorce! I don't want to split up with you, honey!"

Erik closed his eyes for a moment. I don't know what kind of sentence else he was able to melt the heart of Varissa that had been frozen for him.

"I'm khilaf, Va!" erik's pretext.

"The philaf?" Varissa laughs. "You think I'm stupid?"

"Kan, I'm sorry about you" said Erik.

"okay!" Varissa straightened her back. "Say you are indeed solemn when you cheat, Mother! But, can you tell me why you always ask me to sign the transfer file for all my assets?" varissa asked as she raised both eyebrows.

"That's because...,"

"Because you want to enjoy the treasures of my Papa with your extended family and also your affair. Am I wrong, my mother?"

"Don't just accuse me of not having proof, Varissa!" erik said with a low tone of voice.

"Please, Mom! The evidence you want I'll show you at the trial later. Just wait!" Varissa grunting.

"Son Varissa! Is there really no way for you to forgive Erik?" chirp Aaron with an extraordinary fatherly voice full of wisdom.

"Why should I, Pa?" ask Varissa to the man she had always considered like her own father.

"At least, think about your struggles first when fighting for our blessing and also your late Papa!"

"I'm not the one Papa should have told you about. But, Papa's own son!"

"Then, at least think of us!" Aaron embraces his wife's shoulder with a hearty look at Varissa. "Don't you ever say that Papa and Mama have you loved like you loved your own biological parents?"

"But, isn't that free, Pa? Until this moment, Mama still never loved me sincerely. Temporary, Papa? Papa doesn't make any difference either."

"That's not true. Isn't that right, Ma?" Aaron elbowed his wife's stomach giving the code. Retno only clucked but refused to cooperate.

"So, why would Papa sell my Papa restaurant if Papa really loves me?" Varissa's eyes are glazed. His lips shook violently as he asked Aaron that question. Once upon a time the man sold affection as an excuse to forgive their deeds.

Perhaps Varissa will indeed be lonely when Erik's family completely disappeared from his life. However, it should not be a big deal for Varissa. Ever since he got married, after all, the warmth of Erik's family would only be obtained if he wanted to spend money. In short, that affection should be Varissa buy with money if you want. And, despite having managed to buy it, Varissa always lied to herself that it was true affection. In fact, he himself knew that all the love he had received was just a lie. There is no sincerity contained in it. Everything was bland until when it ended, Varissa still felt confused. What did he end? Meanwhile, the beginning was never even tracked.
