Laura And Her New Status
Chapter 54 Laura and her New Status
"Mama, how could Papa pass down all his wealth and business empire to Laura? Isn't Laura no longer a member of this family?" asked Laura with teary eyes. He was silent and focused only on hearing Mr Vincent's words about his father's legacy.
Especially before Laura had been bickering with the late Papa about him who had been smeared from his family members.
"Son, you remain a member of our family, you are the successor of the family and become the future of Papa and Mama. Everything you know so far is just a lie, Papa did it because of a compelling situation" said Mama Laura while bowing her gaze explaining the lies they cover.
Laura immediately rushed to embrace her mother to feel the warmth of a mother that could not be replaced with anything. Madam Miranda closed her mouth tightly so as not to let out her sorrowful voice. The middle-aged woman was only able to stroke her daughter's back affectionately.
"You are the pride of Papa and Mama" said Mama Laura with tightness in her chest and tried to convince her not to cry in front of her daughter.
"Sorry, Laura can't be Papa and Mama's pride yet. Laura hasn't been completely happy for you. However, Laura will try to make you happy" said Laura with watery eyes.
"It's okay son that you're obviously our happiness" Mama Laura replied, letting go of her embrace and gently rubbing her daughter's tears that unhappily soaked her face.
"Laura dear Mama. From now on, Laura will keep Mama as long as this heartbeat is still beating."
Laura held both of her mother's shoulders gently and her gaze was so reassuring with all her soul and body to look after the person she loved so dear in this hemisphere.
"Thank you, son."
With teary eyes, suddenly tears drenched the cheeks of the middle-aged woman. Really, he did not want to lose back his loved ones. And now it was Laura's turn to gently wipe away her mother's tears.
Not wanting to drag on in grief, they choose to have lunch together and in the future will organize their lives. After lunch together, Laura chose to sit back and relax with her mother in the family room without doing activities.
Now the mother and son sit back and relax with warm tea and chocolate cake. Laura was spoiled on her Mama's lap while stroking her queen's belly while the mama stroked her hair gently to let her sleep on her lap.
Suddenly Laura was attacked by a feeling of panic if she remembered that there was a fetus in her stomach. Laura's facial wrinkle turned into a wistful one and immediately released her hand that touched her stomach. She chose to close her eyes hoping to sleep, so that her mind was not focused on her pregnancy, it was always her nightmare.
"Laura" called out to her softly, but the soft snoring from her daughter's mouth made the middle-aged woman smile thinly and let her daughter sleep on her lap.
While Laura who was already cradled in a dream, felt herself in a place with the desert surrounding her. Laura continued to circulate her gaze looking for someone in the place but never found anything.
Unleveraged, Laura tried to step through the desert untold breadth of the place. However, suddenly his gaze could not see anything in front of him because the wind blew fiercely blowing dusty sand to cover his body.
Laura coughed her hands to get the sand away from her. His steps stopped with eyes flickering and not necessarily the direction where it would go. It could have been a much firmer wind followed by a terrible sandstorm than this, he thought.
Slowly Laura tried hard to step her foot out of the place before what she thought really happened. Even many times he fell rolling in the sand and rose up and then continued his journey without a destination.
His perch was so dry all the way and a drop of water he never found dehydrated his body. Laura limped to see a large tree that was the only shade in the place.
But unexpectedly, the sandstorm came suddenly to fly anything in the place including Laura's body was dragged and swayed like cotton in the desert. Laura was only able to close her eyes while praying to God for her safety in order to make her parents happy.
And by the power of God, Laura's body fell on the straw that out of nowhere could have come to that place. Laura blinked her eyes until she caught the figure she loved sitting next to her.
"Father" Laura immediately got up and sat facing the person called Papa. Without further ado Laura directly hugged the body of her beloved figure to let go of her longing.
"Take this kid, you gotta go home. This place is not your place. Because from now on you have to replace the position of Papa and Papa trusts you to take good care of your Mama. Walk west after that you won't get lost again" he said, handing over a wooden stick to Laura and rushing away to leave her daughter.
"Papa don't go" cried Laura seeing her Papa's back getting away from her. Laura rushed after him but the figure of her Papa was no longer visible.
"Father!"
Miranda's mistress was panicking at Laura's conversation. Even cold sweat drenched his daughter's face which seemed to be in a nightmare.
"Laura, wake up" he said, patting Laura on the shoulder until she shouted.
"Father!"
"Are you okay, son?" she worries about her daughter.
Laura simply nodded in response and immediately drank the tea she had not had time to spend. Mistress Miranda gently stroked her daughter's back to calm her down.
"I dreamt of meeting Papa. And papa told me to go home because it's not a good place for me. Papa fully entrusted his position to me even asked me to look after Mama" Laura said with teary eyes and Madam Miranda immediately embraced him affectionately.
"Through the dream, Papa told me that you are the one who took his place because you are the only daughter who must replace him and also take care of Mama" Miranda smiled as she let go of her embrace.
"Yes Mama, from now on Laura promises to do everything as Papa wants" said Laura smiled as she looked warmly at her mother and felt grateful to be able to meet her father again through a dream.
"Oh yeah, you better take a shower. Look at your hair a little wet and damp" her mama scolds while poking her nose.
"Okay, mama" Laura kissed Mama's cheek and stepped into her room on the second floor.
In the afternoon, Laura and Miranda were seen in the front yard picking strawberries ready to harvest and the middle-aged woman planted them in a flower pot about 20 pots in the yard.
When they are engrossed in picking strawberries. Suddenly, a Jeep drove slowly in his yard. Laura and Madam Miranda stopped picking strawberries, they turned their eyes to the figure of the man who had just gotten off the car.
"Tumben Rival is coming, come on. There seems to be important news that she brought" said Miss Miranda pulled her daughter's hand to see the arrival of her husband's secretary.
Now they are in Mr. Anthony's office and sitting together.
Doubts about the adult man named Rival never open his voice. Until he cleared his throat before opening the conversation.
"Look madam, after the death of Mr. Anthony the company's stock price plummeted, if it continues to be left the company could have gone bankrupt. Not only that, there were many rumors to occupy the position of company leader, the company officials began to conspiracy together to occupy the position of the late Mr. Anthony. Therefore, as soon as possible, we must announce the new leader of the AFL Group company and the shareholders meeting as soon as possible" Rival said at length.
"Huffff, the answer is in my daughter's hands" Miranda said with a heavy sigh.
"I'm ready to do it Mama, occupy the position of the late Papa" said Laura with a confident light.
Madam Miranda smiled as she glanced at her daughter, just as Rival smiled at the words of her late superior daughter.
"None Miss. Soon I will make a schedule for you and prepare yourself well because you will bear the burden and great responsibility in the company AFL Group" said Rival while subordinating his views.

At night, Laura was in the kitchen with a quiet atmosphere, because time showed early morning and time like that everyone was asleep.
When she felt safe, Laura immediately made pineapple juice with a dose of one glass and the rest of the pineapple fruit back she hid in the refrigerator. Yesterday afternoon he asked one of the waiters to buy him a pineapple.
One glass of pineapple juice is ready to drink. Laura re-inserted the two medicinal capsules in her pineapple juice then stirred them up quickly. The capsule-shaped medicine he had bought at the pharmacy this afternoon.
"Sorry, I don't want your presence" Laura muttered as she touched her queen belly with a tightness in her chest.
Seriate......
