"Velan, where have you been?" renata asked as soon as he saw Velan return to the meeting room.
"I'm from outside to breathe fresh air, Sister Renata," replied Velan.
"Are you feeling tired, Velan?" ask Renava.
Velan just glanced at his smile.
"Velan, you don't get too tired huh," said Vega who immediately approached Velan.
"Yes ma'am" replied Velan.
"To be a mother-to-be, you have to rest a lot" Vega said.
"Well, ma'am," Velan replied while commenting on a wry smile.
"Everyone, I'm saying goodbye first" Alena said before saying goodbye.
"Everyone, good night" said Rendarto immediately moved out of his chair.
One by one the guests immediately bid farewell to the pair of elders. The twilight-age couple of course has to rest a lot.
"Once again, happy birthday, Grandma, may God always give health to Grandma and Grandpa," Velan told Alena and Rendarto after doing skewers to both.
"Thank you, my granddaughter, may God give you confidence soon, so that you and Voren will also be quickly awarded the successor to the Lazaro family yes," Alena said with a smile looking at Velan meaningfully.
"Thank you, Grandma," said Velan with a heart that was wringing.
How can I be quickly given offspring, if my husband is not interested in women?! Velan.
After the pair of elders left, one by one the guests left the meeting room. Velan was still in the room with her husband's family.
Alren seemed to be starting to move from his seat.
"Papa," said Renata and Renava simultaneously.
"Papa still has business" Alren said.
"Okay Papa," said the two Alren girls who immediately embraced Alren without hesitation.
It is clear Alren returned the embrace of his two adult daughters, but for Alren both are still his little girls. He let go of Renata and Renava's arms. For some reason Velan saw the old man looked like a sugar daddy who would farewell his sugar baby.
Well seen from any side, his father-in-law belongs to a charismatic middle-aged man. Although the age is not classified as young, the appearance of the man is really well maintained and awake. It is typical of men who are the target of young women who are crazy for treasure.
Alren stared at Vega, bowing his head to her husband. Alren turned his gaze towards Velan. Velan bowed respectfully to his father-in-law. He certainly hesitated to embrace his father-in-law. This time it was their first meeting.
Alren also threw his gaze at Renal who returned Alren's gaze by lowering his head. Then Alren rushed out of the meeting room with his assistants.
"Well, then I'll rest too" said Vega, saying goodbye.
"Okay, ma'am" replied Velan.
"Good rest, Auntie," said Renata and Renava.
Velan was stunned, why did his two brothers-in-law call Vega an aunt? Is Vega not their mother?
"Velan, can you get your phone number? We hang out together sometime" Renata said.
"Yes, I also want to learn to cook from you Velan," said Renava no less enthusiastic.
"Okay sister, I can't wait to be able to move with you guys, it's great to have two sisters who are so beautiful like you, right away" said Velan.
"Yes, yes, Velan even has four older brothers" says Renava.
"One of our younger brothers alone is so unsettling, let alone you have four brothers yes, must be very crowded" said Renata.
"Hehe," Velan chuckled.
Not only crowded Kak, but very troublesome, Inner Velan.
"Velan, did Voren treat you well?" ask Renata.
Renata and Renava looked at Velan with a booming curiosity. Because for Renata and Renava, their little sister was really very annoying. No wonder they fight every time they meet. So it was better for the two of them not to meet their sister.
"Voren is a really good man, brother," replied Velan.
"You sure?" asked Renata and Renava looked wide-eyed.
"Really, Brother, Voren is the nicest man I've ever met in my life" replied Velan.
"I thought Voren was only good to his fellow men!" Renata laughs.
"Does he still stick like a postage stamp on Doni?" ask Renava.
Velan just grinned, the words of his two brothers-in-law clearly hit Velan. Doni and her husband are like bread and jam, flowers and beetles, to smart devices and power banks.
"Doni is already a very loyal assistant to Voren, Kak," replied Velan.
Yes, Velan can comment on the smile on his lips, but his heart was slashed because of burning jealousy of the presence of Doni who acts as a third person between him and his husband. It's just that Velan must be good at keeping everything himself in close quarters. No one should know this matter except him, God, and the call man he once hired.
"Oh yeah, don't forget the phone number huh," Renata said.
The three women immediately exchanged mobile numbers. Velan was so happy, her husband's family really welcomed her warmly. Though Velan was already feeling anxious, because usually the conglomerate family behaved arbitrarily as in the soap opera commonly witnessed by Kak Tomi.

Velan has returned to the luxury apartment unit that looks so quiet. Only the sound of a second wall clock that echoed filled the room. The clock was ten o'clock in the evening and her husband had not yet returned home.
Lately Voren is often home late at night. Velan did not even realize that her husband had come home because Velan must have slept.
"Tonight I'll welcome your foster father home!" said Velan in front of seven aquarium fish cup*ng whose inhabitants appear to swim with the santuy.
"Look, I've got a beautiful dress tonight! Look at my new dress! So sexy and seductive, right?" Velan was still monologuing while circling like a ballet dancer.
"What do I do, so I don't get sleepy?" Velan wondered to herself.
"Maybe I have to make something," Velan rushed towards the kitchen.
He took the ingredients in the fridge to make snacks. Armed with watching cooking videos, he began making cakes that are low in sugar, considering Voren is still running a diet of sugar and salt consumption.
Velan had finished making the cookies, the smell of ashen immediately drew out his nose. I don't know what low-sugar pastries taste like. Considering all pastries are mostly sweet. He let the cookies cool on the cooling rack.
Velan stared at the clock, it was twelve and her husband still had not come.
"What time does my husband usually come home, huh?" Velan wondered to herself.
She immediately contacted Doni after several attempts to call her husband but there was no answer at all.
"Hello, Mr. Doni," said Velan as soon as Doni answered his phone.
"Good night, Miss Velan," said Doni.
"Doni, why hasn't my husband come home yet? What time is it?" velan asked like panicked mothers when their single children had not returned home even though it was late at night.
"Mr Voren, don't come home tonight, miss," replied Doni.
"Are you staying at the office?" ask Velan.
Doni hesitated to answer. She could have guessed that Miss Velan would definitely look for her husband's whereabouts.
"No, Miss," replied Doni.
"Where is my husband going?" ask Velan.
"Mr Voren will stay at my place, Miss," replied Doni.
Doni is forced to cover up the fact that Mr. Voren is staying at Soraya's place.
Velan felt that there was lightning striking inside his head. In his mind came scenes that should not be imagined by Velan.
"Sir Doni! I want to talk to my husband" said Velan.
"Sorry Miss, Mr. Voren is asleep, because he is drunk" said Doni.
"Sir Doni, take my husband home now! Let me take care of it!" velan said half-stomping.
"Sorry Miss, it's too late, prone to driving at night" said Doni.
"Sir Doni, my sisters even come home early and they're fine until now!" velan.
"Hello. hello... Miss, her voice is not clear" Doni said before hanging up.
Doni immediately turned off the phone. Tonight was the most stressful night of the man's life.
