I'm Not a Cheap Woman

The Punishment of Zionel

Zionel smiled widely, he finally managed to persuade his sister after telling some lies to the little girl. Tonight, he can pick up his wife at Cruise's mansion.

When I spoke on the phone before...

"What's the bang?" ask Zaline.

"Stay away from your brother, I have something to say" Zionel replied.

Zaline of course stayed away from Stevani and stood by the pool.

"You want to name Zeze, don't you?"

"There's an agreement, I'm kind enough to reduce my brother's sentence."

"Let me pick up your sister tonight." Zionel asked.

"No. You don't want any more bargaining." replied Zaline annoyed as she stomped her feet on the floor.

"Zaline listen brother. It's not because your brother can't stand away from your brother. But do you know what Vani said to me?"

"Oh come on. I don't want to listen to brother."

"Alright, if you don't want to know what's okay. Just keep separating us and making your brother sad every night."

"What does bang Zio mean?"

"So your sister told me she wanted me to stroke her stomach every night. It can make you comfortable when you want to sleep. But because he loves you so much and doesn't want to disappoint you, he tries to hold back. But when you're asleep, he cries a lot because his wish doesn't materialize."

"Ciiiih."

"Yes if you don't believe. Don't tell him this, when he told me earlier, he wanted me to keep it a secret from you. He just wants to make you happy with your messiness with me. I can still survive another day or two. Oh yeah, Zeze is a funny name, brother likes it. Brother's still a lot of work, brother hang up."

"Wait for the bang." said Zaline as she looked at Stevani from a distance. "That's really what Brother Vani told you, isn't it?"

"Of course."

"Well, I don't want to make him tormented by my exorcism. My brother's punishment was lifted, but if my brother hurts you again, I won't forgive bang Zi. Get brother for dinner."

"The promise won't hurt your sister again. I love him so much Zaline. I'll come over for dinner. But remember, don't you tell your brother about our conversation."

"OK." replied Zaline as she hung up.

Such was the actual conversation, with a good idea that Zionel finally managed to repeal his sentence. Zionel continued to smile until Alex unconsciously entered his room while looking at him questioningly.

"Last noon was full of anger, this time full of smiles. If you're not a CEO, you're probably a lunatic." Alex's taunts pop Zionel's smile.

"When did you get in without knocking on the door?"

"I nearly half an hour knocked on him Mr. Zio, but you didn't answer either. I think after two days of not being able to meet your wife, you committed suicide. I went in because I was too worried." - Alex again.

"Damn it...!!! You're making my mood go back bad Lex."

Alex laughed as he handed over the papers that Zionel had to sign.

"What makes you happy like that?" ask Alex to be curious.

"Don't I say, being too curious will shorten your life."

"Oh my God. amit amit..."

Zionel is chuckling. "But since I'm happy, I'll share my happiness with you. I managed to convince Zaline, and tonight I'm going to pick up my wife. Haaaah.I will finally hug her while sleeping."

Alex shuddered to hear it, Zionel really bent his knees on a woman. Alex thinks how Zionel convinced his sister, but he is still happy to see his boss who continues to urinate is unclear. Zionel looked at Alex who kept silent.

"Why do you look unhappy Lex. Do you expect my sentence to continue?" zionel asked in annoyance.

"Ah.. certainly not Zio sir. I'm glad to hear it."

"Good.." Zionel replied, signing his papers and handing them over to Alex.

Alex took the file from Zionel's hand. "But to be honest, Mr. Zio, your turmoil is the greatest entertainment for me."

After saying that Alex immediately ran out of the room. Again Zionel cursed loudly to make Alex laugh again while leaving Zionel's office.

Dinner has arrived. The dining table is filled with various dishes made by Stevani. The Cruise family had already entered the dining room and were shocked to see the dishes available at the table.

"Wow... This is all Vani's food?" ask Falera.

"Aided by Tika's mother, too." Stevani replied with a smile.

"No. Mom just helped cut the chop. Everything is done miss Stevani madam." replied Ms. Tika while helping to prepare all the dishes.

"It's the home cooking that I miss" Zaline said as she sat there.

"New surprise from you Vani. You're really the perfect wife for my son." said Nicholas.

"Daddy is excessive, not a woman should be able to cook." said Stevani.

"Haisssss... Why am I?" ask Falera.

"But you're still perfect for me, baby." replied Nicholas.

"Uhukkk... uhukkk.." Zaline's tease. "I'm hungry already." he added.

"All right, we're eating now" Falera replied with a smile.

"Wait a minute, even though I'm hungry, but there's not one more" Zaline said.

They all looked at Zaline questioningly.

"You'll know after he comes." added Zaline before they asked.

The sound of footsteps rang out from the living room, until gradually getting closer to them.

"That must be him." said Zaline.

As the male figure appeared to enter the dining room, everyone was shocked until Stevani moved out of his seat.

"Zio.. how did you..."

Zionel immediately hugged his wife as if they had not met for 2 years. The man continued to hug Stevani tightly without caring for his family who started laughing.

"Geez, it's only been two days." Zaline sneered.

"You are so cruel Zaline, those two days are like two centuries to me" Zionel replied, making everyone laugh more.

"Wait a minute..How did he get here?" ask Stevani.

"Why don't you welcome me, baby? Don't you miss me?" ask Zionel.

"It's not like that, it's just..." Stevani looked at Zaline.

"I'm lifting the sentence, you can be together as you please" Zaline replied.

"Thank you beautiful little girl" Zionel said. "We go home now, I really miss you." she whispered to Stevani.

"What did you tell Zaline on the phone?" reply whispered Stevani.

"I'll tell you about it when I get home" Zionel replied.

"Stop making fun of it like that. I'm starving." said Zaline.

"Can we go home now?" ask Zionel.

"No...!!!" answer the others at the same time.

Zionel and Stevani laughed, of course it was just a joke. Maybe they went home before dinner.

They began to eat dinner, but Zionel's parents unceasingly praised Stevani's cooking. Even all the dishes that were on the table were barely leftover. Zionel is proud to have a wife like Stevani. The man unreservedly kissed his wife's cheek many times.

Zaline continued to stare at the two, she was increasingly convinced of their feelings.

"Thank God, because your brother can be happy now. May his past sufferings never be repeated. She's the nicest woman I've ever met." thought Zaline.

The little girl was unaware of her tears as she recalled Stevani's previous life. His family was surprised to see him cry.

"What's the matter, baby?" ask Falera.

Zaline let out her tears. "Feel sister too good" he said while sobbing.

Of course hearing Zaline's words everyone laughed. But unlike Stevani, the woman clasped Zaline's hand while peeking at the little girl's cheek as it sat right next to her.

"Become happy sister, happy sister can be with you" Stevani said.

Instantly Zaline hugged her sister and let go of her crying again. Stevani rubbed the little girl's back. The others stopped their laughter and looked at the two.

"Oh come on. This dish can be salty because of your tears." seduced Zionel.

Stevani and Zaline finally chuckled, they let go of her embrace.

"There will be no more tears for the Cruise family, I'll make sure of that except tears of happiness." Zionel added as he stared at Stevani and Zaline alternately.

"Daddy and mommy support Zio's words." - Nicholas.

Falera nodded her head in agreement with her husband's words.

"Zaline loves you all" he said.

"Of course we love you too." replied the others at the same time as it was arranged (by the author uh...🤣)
