I'm Not a Cheap Woman

Cecil's Family Growing Furious

Along the way, Nile continued to hit Cecil's shoulder until Cecil was crying even louder.

"Are you stupid, huh? We told you to be more patient. You're working with a woman who's crazy about Zio. Oh, my God, Cecil, what are you thinking, huh?" snapped Nile.

"Sorry ma.." replied Cecil sobbing.

"What's your apology for changing all this Cecil? We are struggling to get rid of Haena, now you are the one who is eliminated." said Gilbran.

"Pa.. help me. I'm not going to America. I don't want to be away from you." asked Cecil.

"Do we have a choice now?" nile asked while hitting Cecil's shoulder again.

"Mommy, it hurts...!"

"Stop hitting our daughter ma, you're adding to her pain" Gilbran said.

"I can't stand all this. Just a few more steps we can take over the company, but he just destroyed it. Do we have a choice after Brother Ram acts? Stupid kid.." replied Nile.

Cecil could only sob in the car while listening to the scolding from his mother.

"We have no way left, let Cecil go first to America. After that we will find another solution so that our daughter quickly returns and makes your sister's family release the Cruise company" Gilbran said.

Cecil shook his head. "I don't want to...!" his yell.

"You shouldn't be acting stupid Cecil. This is because of you who are impatient. Do you also want to lose your mom and dad like Varisa did" Nile said resentfully.

"Mama don't talk like that. I'm sorry, I was wrong. But let Cecil stay, I don't want to go to America."

"Slow son. om Ram has made up his mind. If you refuse this sentence, then be prepared to stay in prison. Would you prefer it like this?" ask Gilbran.

Cecil shook his head and then came back crying. Nila finally hugged her daughter and calmed her down.

"Stupid boy.Mama knows you meant to help us. But your actions are wrong, dear. If there are casualties, then you may not be punished like this, chances are you spend the rest of your life in prison. Lucky God still protects you, so accept Ram's decision. Although you can't really get away from you, at least it's better than going to Cecil's prison. We won't stay silent, we'll get you back soon. Believe son..."

"You're right Cecil, papa won't leave you alone in another country. You'll be back soon. So follow their wishes for the matter to subside." said Gilbran.

Cecil nodded his head in his mother's arms. "I'm going to take this for a vacation and at least I don't have to wear that goddamn woman's dress."

"Smart kid, that's what you should be aware of. Take wisdom from your foolish deeds." Nile said.

Cecil finally calmed down, wiping away his tears. "It's all because of that ugly woman, bang Zio who always loved me finally hates me now. Just wait for Stevani, I'll make you regret making me this way." thought Cecil.

"So you're afraid Stevani was hurt to move him into your room. This is not true Zio, you even asked him to sleep in your bed. How can you restore your health if you sleep together?" Falera.

"Mommy's wrong, this isn't my bed but Stevani's. I'm the one who moved to sleep here." replied Zionel, grinning.

"Ck. what a difference it is."

Zionel. "We'll be well soon if we stay together."

"Mom let it go. Zio. You have to remember this is a hospital. You have to be polite without having to tarnish Cruise's good name again." said Nicholas.

"Oh my God.. What do you think I'll do?"

Stevani's face was red with embarrassment.

"You don't go overboard. Zio's an adult, he's even going to be a father, of course he's not going to do anything at the hospital" Ramirez said.

Stevani whispers. "Zio. tell them the truth. I'm..."

"No need, even if you're not pregnant right now, you'll get me pregnant as soon as possible" Zionel said.

Stevani pinched Zionel's arm until the man grimaced.

"Sister Ram, brother Nicho, brother Fal. This is getting late. Since this matter has been resolved, we want to go home" Andreaz said.

"You go home first, there's still something we want to talk to them about" Nicholas replied.

"Dad.it's very late. We can talk again tomorrow" Zionel said. "Mommy also has to rest a lot" he added.

"Just a little Zio." replied Nicholas.

"All right. We go home first. If you have time, tomorrow will see Zio again" Ramirez said.

"Titip greetings to aunt Ama, Mili and Jinki" Zionel said.

Ramirez nodded his head and said goodbye, as did Roxy's parents. After they left the room, Nicholas approached them again.

"Tomorrow we will attend the funeral of Lord Yudhishthira. Is Miss Rumi not going to blame us and be annoyed by our presence Zio?" ask Nicholas.

Zionel took his cell phone and called Alex. "Come in.." she asked and hung up.

Alex went into the room. "Sir President, ma'am President.." he said. "What's up, Zio?" tanyakanya.

"We closed the case because of a lot of consideration. Cecil is going to America as his punishment, while the matter of Varisa we stopped because he had received enough punishment from God. Mr. Yudishthira's wife doesn't know about this decision yet, you take care of Lex before my parents attend the funeral. So you can tell how Miss Rumi reacted." Zionel said.

"Alright sir, I get it." Alex replied.

"Thank you Lex, sorry to bother you back when you just got home."

Alex looked at Zionel while frowning.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" ask Zionel.

"For God's sake.you better not say sorry to me because it gives me goosebumps sir."

The instant Zionel cursed made everyone laugh. This is the first time Zionel has apologized to Alex. Before getting to know Stevani, whatever mistakes he made would be bestowed on Alex. But that man really changed since he fell in love with Stevani.

"You stop mocking me" Zionel said. "Dad... mom... are you satisfied with the task I gave Alex? You don't have to worry about something that hasn't happened yet. Miss Rumi should be grateful that I dropped the case. After you receive word from Alex, then you can decide whether to attend the funeral or not" he added.

Nicholas and Falera both nodded their heads.

"Lexi... Take my parents to the parking lot and you can also go home now." Zionel asked.

"All right sir." Alex replied back.

"You're just the two of you here is it safe?" ask Falera.

"We are surrounded by a medical team" Zionel replied.

"Ck."

"Trust me we'll be fine. It's time Stevani took a break, too."

Falera breathed her breath. "Hem... Alright."

"Don't worry mom, Zio's not a kid anymore. He can take good care of his future wife and Zio is right here a lot of medical teams, they will be fine" said Nicholas. "Zuo... Stevani. Your marriage is 2 days away. Especially you Stevani, I hope you can walk well when that day comes." he added.

"Of course dad. If Stevani can't walk yet, then I'll carry him to the altar." Zionel's tease makes Stevani again pinch his arm.

Falera smiled at the happiness of her son who had been lost since losing his sister. But Falera's worry is still there, because since Stevani's presence, Zionel has never discussed Haena's problem again. He was still afraid that Zionel would forget his sister's search.

Falera's gloomy face was clearly seen by Zionel. The man immediately surprised his mother with his words.

"Mommy take it easy. Once all this is done, I'll refocus on finding Haena. It remains my top priority" Zionel said.
