Dance answered and replied to all the scornful words and smiles that Oma Violet had thrown at her, without feeling any fear or shame. The expression previously seen
nervous now looks defiant and mocking.
To make Gerald and Astrid embarrassed and black-ridden, with brazen words thrown by the lowly woman. It felt like they slapped the woman's face, and put away the mocking smile that adorned her face.
It seemed like the lesson he had given back then, was still not enough to silence the woman's mouth! Thought Gerald with riled up.
While Dawn and the others, who began to understand the problems that occurred between the four people, tried to hide their smiles.
"Hallo Helmi, West. How are you doing? It's been a long time yes, we haven't met" Oma Violet greeted Helmi and Lesti kindly. Intending to divert the conversation from Dance.
"Yes Aunt. Thank God, our family is fine. Auntie, how are you? I heard you all lived in Switzerland, right?" Helmi returned the greeting of the old woman with a friendly smile.
"Yes, ever since my son decided to leave Astrid for the sake of the baby sitter, I also decided to bring my daughter-in-law and granddaughter to live abroad. Because I don't want to continue to grieve over Andre's treatment of them" Oma Violet again chattered carelessly.
Without thinking of the feelings of Dawn who felt offended, and angry to hear the insults that were again addressed to his parents.
Dari looked back at Fajar confusedly looking at the face of the man, who seemed to be holding back the anger of hearing his own Omanya speech. Actually what problems make the family not get along well? Who is the baby sitter? He's getting curious.
"Sorry Aunt, but if I think it's not good to bring up the past. Especially at times like this. Not good to hear from other guests. It is a happy day for Dawn. Aunt's own granddaughter" Lesti interrupted and tried to advise in her gentle and wise voice. He also looked at Dawn with a smug and unpleasant feeling.
Oma Violet rolled her eyes lazily while grumbling.
"Hey, who is this? Very amusing. Your granddaughter?" Oma Violet grabbed baby Chand from Zahra's hand in her wrath to see the handsome boy.
"Yes Aunt, this is Chand, Rahul's son. Our favorite grandson" Helmi introduced her favorite granddaughter.
"Hi Rahul's. You are big now. I have a funny kid again. Your wife?" Oma Violet greeted Rahul kindly. Then she glanced at Zahra who was standing next to her husband.
"Yes Oma. Introduce this Zahra, my wife" Rahul embraces his wife with a gentle and loving gaze.
"Hallo beautiful. How are you doing? Nice to meet you" Oma Violet extended her hand to Zahra.
"Oh yes, Oma became curious about the beginning of your meeting and love story. Especially with her wedding. Must your wedding be held on a massive and lavish? By right, you are the only crown prince of the Dirgantara group. So everything that your parents have, of course, is yours" Oma Violet glanced at Rahul and went back to chattering, according to her own judgment and point of view.
Rahul and Zahra were silent and looked at each other. Because what is said by the woman is very inversely proportional to the reality. Their marriage was simple, and even without the knowledge of the family when Rahul was still stranded in his village first.
"Oh yes Zahra, where is your family? Not coming?" Ask Oma Violet.
"Mmmm.... My parents are dead Oma" Zahra replied with a soft and sad look on her face.
"Oh so? Sorry, but Oma doesn't know. Oh yeah, if Oma can tell, your parents are businessmen? Surely you are from the upper class, right, so you are able to attract the son of Dirgantara group? And.... Which graduate are you yourself? Overseas too? What faculty?"
Oma Violet scouts Zahra with enthusiasm. It made the woman speechless, and her expression instantly turned grim and nervous.
"Mmmm.... No Oma. I come from a simple family. My father used to work as a factory worker. While my mother was only a housewife, who helped the family economy by selling cakes. And I'm on my own.... I used to work as a nurse, before I married Rahul" Zahra answered honestly and with a lowered face. Oma Violet's expectations seem to have succeeded in making her feel embarrassed and insecure.
"Rahul, if Oma can give advice, you are handsome, rich, and of course the only heir of Dirgantara group. You can still get a much better, more beautiful woman. And certainly.... Equivalent to you. You can still get any diamond you want. But why do you prefer pebbles?" Oma Violet tries to provoke Rahul with her arrogance. And he looked at Zahra with a cynical and condescending look.
Gerald and Astrid simply shook their heads in sinister manner. While the others looked at Oma Violet with an annoyed look, with the arrogant nature of the old woman who blatantly insulted and demeaned Zahra.
Dance Included. As a fellow woman, she also felt indignant to see other women being humiliated like that in front of her, just because she was from the lower classes. Dance so thought, it's appropriate that Fajar did not get along with his family. Turns out the model was like that. Too arrogant, arrogant and high-minded.
All things are measured by matter, caste and position! Do not even hesitate to insult others who have a caste very far below it. Just like he did to her before. You arrogant granny. Thought with rage.
And the one who was very hurt, as well as the emotion of hearing the insults that Oma Violet made against Zahra was of course Rahul. Husband himself. Until the man clenched his teeth and clenched his hands, so emotional.
Zahra held Rahul's hand gently. She looked into her husband's eyes and shook her head slowly.
It seemed that the woman was trying to calm her husband, and gave him a signal not to be provoked by emotion and to take an anarchic action, against the old woman's insults that were thrown for him just now. Rahul looked at his wife and sighed heavily.
"Sorry Oma, but I am deeply offended by Oma's words. To me, my wife, this is a precious diamond. I love him so much, and vice versa. And I'm very happy with our marriage. She is also a good mother to my son. A good daughter-in-law to my family. So I guess that's enough.
And I don't need anyone else's judgment about my wife. Because of my life, I alone determine. Not anyone else. And I'm so happy with my life now. So why should anyone else feel uncomfortable?" Rahul smiled furiously at Oma Violet.
