I'm Not a Cheap Woman

Falera's Cry

The Cruise House

After Falera returned from the hospital, she and her husband announced that Zionel's marriage would take place in 5 days. All the families who were visiting him were of course very surprised by the decision because before, Falera and Nicholas Cruise did not agree to Zionel's request. And even more surprising was the attitude of Nile Cruise, after hearing the announcement, the woman immediately said goodbye to them.

Falera lay in her room, still accompanied by her husband after her brother had left Cruise's mansion.

"Dad... Didn't you see my brother Nile's attitude?" ask Falera.

"Which behavior, dear?" ask Nicholas.

"He left immediately after hearing we agreed to Zio's marriage."

Nicholas grinning. "Isn't it always like that mom. Nile is busier than a career woman, her company is still like a young child. Nothing looks weird. Rest, soon aunt will deliver her porridge."

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, how does Zio work?"

"I've signed the western hotel construction papers. But Zio left the construction to the chief contractor not to his uncle. I think there's a separate consideration for him."

"Didn't they make it difficult for Zio to be disappointed?"

"Don't think too much honey, my sister can't possibly be bothered about this. Their position in the company is enough to keep them busy, which may still be disappointed because of the problem of the hotel project" replied Nicholas.

Falera took a long breath. "Only Ram's brother doesn't want to know about the company. I hope our family doesn't have any problems because of Cruise Group. Ever since your papa gave up inheritance rights to our family, I've honestly been very scared and after the biggest stake was given to our little daughter, I've been getting scared. But Haena suddenly disappeared, even though Cruise's family relationship is very peaceful until now, I still keep thinking about the possibility of it dad."

"We've already talked about this, mom, where maybe my sister could be like that. We've been investigating Hae's disappearance carefully, all for nothing. If the Cruise family is really involved in this case, where there may be no evidence at all, where maybe they were busy for 5 years looking for Hae. Please stop that thought of yours, Cruise has dignity, the lowest thing they can do" Nicholas said.

"If Hae is kidnapped, where maybe the kidnapper does not ask for ransom. If Hae is killed, we don't have any enemies all this time and where's our daughter's body. If Hae runs away from home, what is the reason dad? We all love him very much, everything he wants we always fulfill. That's what always makes me think..."

Falera stopped her speech, sobbing as she remembered her daughter again. Nicholas approached his wife and pulled her back into his arms.

"We can only try, but God determines it. The only way we can find out behind Hae's disappearance is to find her. We will never give up mom, believe God will answer all our efforts. Calm yourself, you never stop crying every thought of our daughter. It will make your health worse." asked Nicholas while stroking his wife's back.

"Since Hae disappeared, we lost Zio as well. Previously Zio refused anyone who approached her let alone to marry it would not have happened if Hae had not returned. I still remember what Zio dad said. But this time he was even in a hurry to get married to a woman he just knew, he forgot his word dad. I'm just worried he forgot his sister after being with that woman."

"You think too much, Zio is our son who is very responsible mom. We instilled that sense of responsibility since he was a child. His decision this time is indeed correct, we cannot let our grandchildren be born with the status of illegitimate children."

Falera let go of his embrace. "He should not lose control, how he could be with the woman in one room while he was very far away from the woman. It might be a trap from the woman to get the treasure alone."

"You're wrong about this" replied Nicholas as he moved from the edge of the bed.

As Nicholas walked to the window of the room, the man began to tell his wife what he had heard from Alex. Reviewing every word from Alex without being missed in the slightest.

"That's how it actually happened mom. This mistake was really made by our son." said Nicholas at the end of the story.

"Oh my God." That's all that came out of Falera's mouth because she still didn't believe everything.

"We agreed to give up, you gave them your blessing. Stop thinking badly about Stevani. The woman was devastated by the actions of our son mom. It must be hard to do all this, we have to help him be happy with Zio, not continue to blame him."

"Then what about his parents? Why they can't attend their daughter's wedding. It's a dad's wedding, not a play."

"The biggest reason is Stevani's sister. The woman did not want her parents to know about her brother's coma. While Zio continues to force Stevani to marry because of the fetal problems it contains." replied Nicholas.

"Is this what daddy heard from Zio?"

Nicholas nodded his head.

The sound of knocking on the door of the room was heard.

"Sir, madam, there are guests." said a servant. "Auntie also brought porridge for mistress." he added.

Nicholas approached the door and opened it. "Guests? Who's bi?"

"The owner of PT. Yudistira Pesen." replied Aunt Kukum.

Nicholas laughed at once. "Fashion bi is not a pesen."

"That's it, sir, aunty can't talk about it." replied bi Kawum.

Nicholas shook his head and saw his wife. "Your problem has come mom, this time Varisa came with her parents. Eat the porridge, I'll meet them first."

Falera sighed then nodded her head and let her husband out of the room. While bi Kukum went in to give the porridge.

"So aunt said what PT?" falera Eject.

"Already madam don't be mocked anymore, aunty can't call pepes what pesen."

Falera. "Thank you for entertaining."

"A bribe aunt to the mistress."

Falera. "I'm not stroke, I can still eat myself."

"But auntie is happy to take care of the mistress."

"I know that, aunt has been very loyal to us for over 20 years. Keeping Hae from birth..."

Falera's tears are back.

"Oh my God, my lady, be patient. Little lady will definitely come back" said bi Kukum.

"I miss her bi, I want to hug my daughter." Falera said with a sob. "Did Hae live well, eat well? Is he healthy bi? Does Hae miss me?"

Bi Kukum could not hold back his tears, he joined in crying seeing Falera always like that if he missed Haena.

"Mrs take it easy, aunty sure little lady is healthy. He must have missed the madam, but there was a reason that made him unable to return. Calm madam, if the master sees the madam like this again, the master can fall ill from thinking too much about it."

"It hurts, my heart breaks when I remember Haena. Why did God separate us? What mistake? I've never hurt anyone, but why would I lose my beloved daughter? Why...?" the words sounded heartbreaking from a mother.

Bi Kukum approached Falera and hugged the woman. "Auntie knows very well what the mistress feels, aunt feels the same way madam. We continue to pray to God that the little lady will soon be found and regroup as she once was, bringing joy into this family."

Falera continued to sob in the arms of her servant. Bi Kukum tried to calm the woman who always cried when she remembered her daughter. That was all he could do for his master who had already considered him to be his own family for over 20 years.
