"You're not Dawn's wife?" Oma Violet asked tightly and sharply.
"Yes Oma. It's nice to meet you here. Oma and Auntie how are you?" Reply to Tari with a smile, trying to be friendly in front of her in-laws. Even if they looked at him with a hostile look.
"It was very good news. But as soon as I saw your face, my news was bad! Just like every time I see your husband's face" Ketus Oma Violet with her fierce face. Which makes Tari can only swallow her saliva and take a deep breath. Trying to patiently face her husband's arrogant grandmother.
"What are you doing here anyway? Wonder why you always show up everywhere? It used to be a hotel, then yesterday when my son was in an accident, you were there too. Actually what the hell are you planning? What apart from ensnaring Dawn with your pregnancy, have you also long planned to ensnare Gerald as well? Is that why you are here now? Actually what ruse are you planning to frame my son? You think I would, my only son, have a partner, a comfort woman like you?"
Timpal Astrid with a domineering gaze, the woman judged Dance with all her unwarranted cruel accusations.
Making Dari surprised and glared angrily at hearing it. Unconsciously, his hands clenched. Indeed, he did not think, people look elegant and respected like them turned out to have no attitude, by humbling others at will. Do they think with a haughty and high-hearted attitude it can make them look perfect?!
From the nature of Mama and Omanya, there is no need to ask again where Gerald inherited that trait. Fortunately not with Dawn. Probably because he had never been close to them all this time.
It is not just Dance who feels angry with the attitude and words of Astrid towards Dance. But Tristan is too.
Though acknowledging the woman's words about her daughter is true. Because he himself was also embarrassed by the wild behavior of his son during this time, to the point of driving him from home. But as a father, of course he can not accept if there are others who insult his son.
"Mother Astrid!" Until unknowingly Tristan shouted in a loud voice until his body trembled. Making everyone flinch and stare at him with a thumping heart.
Astrid and Oma Violet looked at Tristan with astonished gazes and wondered. They do not understand what happened to Tristan until he looks very angry, even shouting everything at Astrid who is insulting Dance.
Aware of his spontaneity, Tristan became nervous and tense. Aware that his attitude must have made the two women feel strange and astonished.
"Mmmm..... Wh-sorry.... I didn't mean to yank at you. But I don't think it's appropriate for you to talk that hard. Isn't as an honorable and respected person, you should be able to maintain attitude? In this case, it's the same as you're looking for the big name Lazuardi" Tristan twitched nervously. He cursed at his own stupidity, which could not control his emotions seeing his daughter insulted by others.
"Om Tristan is right Ma" Timpal Gerald who suddenly appears and joins in their conversation.
"Mama doesn't deserve to talk like that, to my employees. Especially in a place like this. What you do can make the good name of the Lazuardi group worse in front of other employees" he said in agreement with Tristan.
"Yes.... More precisely, he's an intern here" Gerald replied casually.
"Geez Gerald! You're serious about accepting a woman like her as an intern at our company? Have you forgotten who this woman is? And what did he do to you first? You forget, how arrogant is he to humiliate you and our family? Though at that time he was just a lowly catering waitress. But his behavior exceeds that of the queen. And now he can be like this too because he managed to fool Dawn"
Astrid said with excitement and inexhaustibility. Still with his arrogant attitude insulting and demeaning Dance.
Dance grew furious with the middle-aged woman's spicy mouth. Like a sambal, it might have entered level ten! If you do not remember that now she is pregnant, or the woman is the same age as her late mother, maybe now she has slapped and ripped her venomous mouth!
Although back in a rage to hear Astrid's harsh words towards her daughter, Tristan did not dare to interfere or speak again, for fear of embarrassment.
No longer able to stand in that place just to receive insults and insults from the arrogant family, Tari finally spoke up after taking a deep breath.
"Sorry before. But I guess I don't seem to have any business here. Because just like my husband, I am also just an outsider who does not need to know or be involved in your honorable family matters. But first I want to set things straight. And it's up to you to accept it or not. The first, my existence here, is purely limited to apprentices, who are fighting for the continuity of my education and future. Not to tease or entrap anyone. Because I have no interest in it. Second, I love my husband. For me, he was the best man God sent to be my life partner, and the father of my son. So I have no reason to leave him for another man. So I hope, Oma and Aunt.... Mmm, I mean, Violet's mom and Astrid's mom don't have to worry, if I'm going to bother Mr. Gerald. That's never gonna happen. Okay, please continue your kangen meeting. Excuse me"
Dance passed from before the men with resentment, though she was slightly satisfied that she had answered all their accusations and insults at length.
His arrogant-sounding speech made Oma Violet and Astrid again glare sharply. They're getting sick of that woman.
While Gerald was very hurt, hearing the words of Tari who said that she loved her husband very much, and would never turn away for his sake!
Is that really how much she loves her step-sister? What if he knew that the husband he loved was not the father of his child?
Did he really have feelings for that woman? Feelings of wanting to have? That's why he felt unacceptable hearing the words of love coming out of that woman's mouth for another man? Moreover, that man was a person she hated so much!
