I'm Grabbing your Husband Candidate

No More Respect

...CHAPTER 18...

...No More Respect...

After everyone finished eating dinner together. They gathered in the living room. Tuti's aunt made a plea to Devan's parents to get Cathrine's blessing from them. However, Dini remained with her stance that rejected the marriage subtly.

"Once again we as Devan's parents, we apologize profusely to you ma'am... We cannot continue the marriage of our mother's daughter and son. Colored by our son, Devan who was actually married first to Silvia," said Dini while turning his head and rubbing the soft shoulder of Silvia who sat to his left.

"And neither do I agree that our son should marry again... Meanwhile, the state of his wife whose leg was badly injured by our own son. She needed a husband figure beside her. So I beg your great heart to understand this condition." he continued with regret Early convey who could not fulfill the wishes of Aunt Tuti just now.

Devan and Cathrine were both stunned by the Dini final decision. Dini still does not allow if his son will have two wives.

"But Ma!" Devan stood up straight. Though he was tired of going to Bogor, picked up and brought his sick mother Cathrine to Jakarta, to be able to melt his mother's heart to accept Cathrine as his wife. But Mama Devan remains adamant against her marriage to Cathrine.

"Devan, please respect your Mama's decision. Mama still doesn't agree that you have more than one wife, son!" dini firmly again, interrupting Devan's words that were still protesting, then he looked at Cathrine whose face had looked chaotic and also frustrated.

"And Cathrine, once again Auntie beg you, son. It's not that Auntie doesn't want you to be Aunt's daughter-in-law, but Aunt doesn't approve of Devan marrying two women. If you feel at a disadvantage by this decision Auntie. You don't have to worry, Auntie will compensate you for the annulment of your marriage the day after tomorrow. Is that Pah?" Dini now turned to her husband for her consent. From then on Indra was just silent and became a listener. Indra did not say much, because according to him, what was conveyed by his wife was quite right.

Indra also told his assistant who did live in his house, telling him to take a checkbook and a bolpoint in his study. Soon his assistant returned with the goods requested by his employer.

"It's Sir.." he said.

Indra grabbed the checkbook in the hands of his trusted assistant. "Thank you, Nori." he said.

Then Indra began to write down a nominal amount of money that was quite a lot and thrust it on the table towards Catherine. "Take that Catherine's son. As for our apologies to you and to your mother." Indra smiled with concern.

Cathrine stared at the sizable sum of money in the check, but her head shook rapidly. Money is not his desire. His eyes warmed up until the glass was clearly visible in his eyeballs, which he then moved from the sofa.

"No Auntie Here! This is not adill!! I should be Devan's wife! Not her Aunt, Om.." - She looked up as her hand pointed at Silvia. "Cathrine knows, actually Aunt Dini didn't like Cathrine to be Devan's wife, did she?! Then Auntie used this excuse to cancel our marriage. Is it really Auntie?! Bad auntie to me...Goddamn it!" his cry could not accept with a heavy gasp of breath, he could no longer hold back his frustration and anger in the heart.

Catherine then ran out of Devan's parents' mansion. While crying, sniffling.

Silvia gawked at Cathrine's frustrating departure. But to be honest, Silvia was satisfied to see Cathrine's heart broken before her own eyes, how she could feel her love that had to run aground in the middle of the road. But is it true, his heart is hurt because of his love that is not blessed? Or just disappointed that he did not marry Devan, the cassanova? silvia murmured in her heart, shrugging her two shoulders uncertain, of Cathrine's true love for Devan.

"Cath! Cathy!" Devan was then chased after his lover.

Dini and Indra were also worried about him. Then they followed Cathrine and Devan, and in the room left only Silvia and Bi Tuti.

Silvia shook her head then let out a long sigh, looking at Cathrine's overly dramatizing behavior. Then Silvia turned to Aunt Tuti who was still bowed restlessly while re-mas the tip of her scarf hanging on the chest. This was the time for Silvia to ask Aunt Tuti.

"Hallo, how are you Bi? Aunty still remembers me, right?" ask Silvia slowly.

"It's good that my aunt remembers me. What Cathrine gave Auntie so she wanted to disguise herself as Cathrine's mother. Then, does Father and stepmother Cathrine know about this?" ask Silvia to the point.

Aunt Tuti shook her head quickly with a feeling of misgivings. "Em, no Non. I-I really want to help Non Cathrine. You see, her stepmom and Non Cathrine have always never gotten along. Non Silvia also already knew about this?! I'm sorry if I was rude to Non, but Miss Silvia should no longer take care of my life and that of Non Catherine. Poor Non Catherine. He had long wanted this marriage with Mr. Devan. Non Silvia's best to step down to be Mr. Devan's wife" she suggested, straight to the point.

As bad as ever Cathrine against Silvia, Bibi Tuti would certainly still defend her employer.

Silvia sighed deeply. He could not possibly pry and search for information about Cathrine to Aunt Tuti, it seemed that Aunt Tuti's devotion to Cathrine was so great.

"Sorry Bi, but Silvia can't grant Auntie's request. Doesn't Aunt know about my relationship with Cathrine? Do you remember Auntie when Cathrine took my future husband? You know, how I felt at that time? It hurt and destroyed everything I felt. My future husband left me and preferred Cathrine to be his companion. It's possible that my meeting with Devan was Cathrine's reply to me first, so it's better that Auntie's employer's son whom Bibi respects.. That seizing someone who already belongs to someone else is not justified." explained Silvia with a sharp look at Aunt Tuti.

"But what Non-Cathrine did first, isn't it the same as what Non-Silvia did to Non-Cathrine now?! Then what difference would it make if Non Silvia also did this to him?" timpal Bi Tuti with a bitter look as if he did not accept his master's son was treated evilly by others. "Non Silvia doesn't know what Miss Cathrine went through. He suffered more than Non-Silvia. I was really begging Non Silvia to be generous in returning Mr. Devan to Non Cathrine." she asked as she arrived at Silvia by cupping both hands in front of her chest.

Silvia smiled wryly, hearing Aunt Tuti's words, about Cathrine suffering more from her life? Yes, Silvia did know how Cathrine's relationship with her stepmother. Her father had not cared about Cathrine since her mother Cathrine's death. Therefore, why Silvia's father loved Cathrine so much and considered her like his own daughter. After Silvia told me all about her family life Cathrine.

But Silvia's heart had already died, she no longer respected Cathrine. Moreover, if he remembered his late father who died after Cathrine showed the video. Silvia's heart seemed to grow sick and sore, if recalling the heartbreaking incident.

"I'm sorry Bi.." - Silvia said, shaking her head slowly. "Silvia can't do it. Silvia did this so Cathrine could regain consciousness, and become the good Cathrine she used to be." said Silvia.

Aunt Tuti was stunned, she could do nothing more to help her employer's son. He admitted that he could not continue to force Silvia to comply with his request. Bi Tuti had also known Silvia a long time ago. The only friend who had ever been close to Cathrine. Who always cared when Cathrine cried alone.

"Alright Non, Bibi will no longer force Non Silvia... But Bibi hopes that one day Non Silvia will be friends with Non Cathrine again." said the middle-aged woman as she pleased, wiping her tears on the cheek with her scarf.

Silvia smiled wryly at Aunt Tuti's expectations of her. "I'm not sure about that, Bi. Yeah, I hope what Auntie wants is achieved. Aunty just pray for the best for both of us." said Silvia.

Then Silvia stood up and walked out of her father-in-law's house, seeing the drama that was being played by Cathrine at that time.

Sure enough, in the heavy rain Cathrine ran to the middle of the road she was about to crash herself there. But Devan quickly pulled and hugged Cathrine's body tightly from behind. Stopping his extreme actions. Silvia just shook her head to see a pair of people hugging each other, shedding a deep sense of disappointment.

Seriate...
