MARRIED DUREN SAWIT

Persuaded him

Gustaf returned to his residence after he invited the two men to come to dinner together at his luxurious residence. Gustaf asked the butler of his house to prepare everything to welcome the arrival of his guest. Merry, who heard this, asked her husband.

"Who are you gonna invite to dinner at our house?" Ask Merry to Gustaf.

"Message us!" Gustaf Sahut.

"What's? Our besan?" Merry was surprised.

"Are you going to invite those two matre female parents?" Ask Merry again as if he doesn't like it.

"Who are you calling a matre woman, huh?" Gustaf said while glaring at his wife.

"Of course the woman Rey married!" Merry Sahut.

"The woman Rey married is the daughter-in-law of our family!" Gustaf said firmly.

"At any time I won't approve of their relationship!" Screeched Merry annoyed.

"Well, when are you gonna keep going like this, huh? Do you want our family to constantly have endless internal conflicts? Rey is our only son, since childhood we never gave him attention so now he chooses to stay away and be cool to us! Is this what you want to enjoy in old age?" Gustaf said as if fed up with the behavior of his wife who always blocked Reyhan's relationship with the woman who was his son's choice.

"The woman wants to marry Rey because she wants her property! I don't want something similar to happen to Rey! Linda also did just that when she became Rey's wife. Anyway Rey is my son and I don't want Rey to get hurt again." Merry.

"I see Aleana's a good woman! He loves Rey and our grandkids." Gustaf.

"Farrel is not a descendant of our family!" Merry.

"Farrel is our grandson! He's Rey's real son with Linda." Gustaf said firmly.

"Can you prove it to me?" Merry asked as if to challenge her husband.

Gustaf stepped into his study and took out a neatly arranged file in the map he had stored in his closet drawer. Then Gustaf went back to his wife and gave the files the results of a DNA test between Reyhan and Farrel that was officially issued from the hospital.

"That's Rey and Farrel's DNA test! The hospital says Rey is Farrel's biological father!" Gustaf said while pointing at the file in Merry's hand.

Merry also saw the file and how surprised he was that he had been wrong all along. The mistake Linda made to Reyhan made him unsure that Farrel was his biological grandson.

"Where did you get all this?" Ask Merry.

"Secretly I asked Defras to take Rey and Farrel's hair! And then I tested it in the hospital lab for trying to prove that Farrel was our granddaughter." Gustaf Sahut.

"So Farrel really is our grandson?" Asked Merry again as if he did not believe and felt guilty for always ignoring his granddaughter.

"Down away your ego, Merry! Reyhan deserves to be happy with the woman of his choice." Gustaf said he was trying to convince his wife to accept Aleana as the daughter-in-law of their family.

"But does that woman really love our son, Gustaf? I just don't want Rey to get hurt again like Linda did." Merry said worriedly.

"You just calm down! I can confirm that Aleana is a good woman." Gustaf Sahut.

"I heard from Rey, on her wedding day, you insulted Aleana and her parents. Is that true?" Ask Gustaf.

"I...

"Take me, Merry!" Jerky Gustaf.

"Yes." Yeah." Merry Sahut.

"But I did it because I didn't want them to use our son, Gustaf!" Connect Merry.

"I invited them to dinner at our house and I hope you'll apologize to them." Gustaf.

"You want me to apologize to them?" Merry chuckled as if refusing.

"Why? You want to reject it? You're the wrong one, aren't you? You insult people who are not necessarily committing crimes!" Gustaf shouted at his wife.

"You're going to vote, Merry! You want to mend our relationship with our son or you just keep doing what you love! I don't care anymore. Never blame others if you feel lonely." Gustaf said giving his wife a choice so that his wife can reflect on all her mistakes.

"Haaaahh, you also feel tired of all the problems! My relationship with my only son was never harmonious. I've always been busy with my business outside and ignored Rey since I was a kid. Rey grew up in the hands of her nanny, and I gave birth to her! Everything got worse when I just kept wanting to set it up. I stopped him from having a relationship with his chosen woman. I've been ignoring my own grandchildren all this time, too." Merry muttered in his heart.

"Oh, stupid me! Why am I being this selfish to my own son?" Merry muttered again as if to regret all his actions that had hurt Reyhan through his rude attitude to Farrel and Aleana.

　

　

***

Reyhan and Aleana seemed to be sitting relaxed and leaning on their sleeping beds. Reyhan who has a hobby of reading books seems to read a book he just bought about the laws concerning the business world. Aleana is busy playing her mobile phone watching her social media.

"Heeeem, it's almost night! Time doesn't feel so short." Aleana murmured in her heart.

Then he got a message from his mother.

"Ana, do you think mom and dad went to your in-laws' house to attend dinner there? Your father-in-law invited us to come."

After reading the message from her mother, Aleana recalled that Gustaf asked her for help to persuade Reyhan to come to dinner with them there.

"Dad and mom are coming, Rey and I are coming too."

After replying to the message from her mother, Aleana put her phone next to the bed. Then she approached her husband as if to hide it from him.

"Rey." Call Aleana.

"Heem?" Sahut Reyhan, but still staring at the sheets of the book he read.

"So your father invited us to go out to dinner at his house." Aleana said trying to persuade him.

"I'm not leaving." Sahut Reyhan's.

"Oh, baby come on!" Aleana's whining is spoiled for Reyhan.

"Ana, they and I were never close! I told you about my family problems, right? So I'm not leaving." Reyhan said he insisted he did not want to go to meet his father's invitation.

"Rey, no matter what their attitude was to you, but they are still your parents, baby! I see from the look on your father's face it looks like he wants to mend your relationship." Aleana said again trying to persuade him.

"Don't you remember what my mom did to you on our wedding day? He slapped you and insulted your family. Do you still want to see her later if you come to fulfill that invitation?" Said Reyhan again.

"Darling, your father promised to convince your mother to accept me as her daughter-in-law! I want that too. I want your mom to admit that I'm your daughter-in-law. Do you want me and your mama to keep fighting?" Aleana Sahut.

"Rey, my parents will be there too." Connect Aleana.

"What?" Reyhan said in shock.

"I told them to come to your father's invitation." Follow Aleana again.

"Ana, why don't you ask my opinion first before telling your parents to come to my parents' house? I don't want my two in-laws to be insulted by my mama anymore! I know that your parents are good people." Reyhan said as he stroked Aleana's face gently.

Aleana just kept quiet and looked at her husband and hoped that Reyhan would come to meet the dinner invitation from his father.

"Let's get ready! I will try to stop my mother's attitude towards your parents." Reyhan said as he wanted to get out of the bed.

"Rey, you don't have to panic! I'm sure your mom won't hurt my parents again." Aleana.

"Where do you know that?" Ask Reyhan.

"I'm sure your father would have convinced your mother to accept my family as his own." Aleana Sahut.

"Come, Ana! I don't dare make sure of that." Reyhan said again.
