Mother's Choice Woman
Chapter 73. Sorrow
Sorrow
Lintani goes through her days in the hospital with Mo.
He fainted for several hours, but doctors injected him with sleeping pills to get a good rest. Therefore, he fell asleep until the next day.
Mo took care of her painstakingly, like taking care of her own child, considering she was a woman with no husband or children. He feels affection for Lintani, like Elliyat's message to take good care of his daughter-in-law.
Elliyat once said that Lintani was a woman who would take care of her, if she was sick or would grow old. Had Askelan's wife not been Lintani, perhaps Mo would have lived a kara, because Askelan's wife would have driven him out of old age.
It turned out that the words of his dead master were true, Mo heard Lintani's confession himself as she took care of her long hair.
“Auntie, you don't need to do this to me, I can do it myself.”
“Nona, Mr. Askel who told me to take good care of you until you choose and fresh!”
“Why is that? I just want to see it now, it's been over a week and my wounds are dry!”
Lintani pointed to a small plaster on her forehead, as a replacement for the bandage from two days ago.
“Maybe for Sir not enough. I don't know myself!”
“Where is he in care, Bi? Is it in this hospital too?”
“Yes, Sir in the care beside your room!”
Lintani felt her heart as if in a pinch, they were close together, but not allowed to see, she went out the room even the bodyguards forbid, she felt like she was in a white dome at that time. So, what's the difference living with Dex or Askelan. It's same!
Lintani shooed away bad prejudices for the sake of her own heart, then, she said, “Auntie, I have no one here, I will not prank my own mother!”
Only a Mo, who distinguishes the sense between in prison in the white dome or in the house Askelan. Mo was by her side, making her happier.
“What do you mean, Miss?”
“Now, call me Lin and I'll take you as my mother, okay? So, it's enough to take care of me.”
“Nona, where can that be? That can't be!”
“Remember, this is just between the two of us!”
“Alright, then, now you must obey, I will tidy your hair and stretch your body.”
Lintani said, for several days it continued like that, there was something Mo did, gave a mask on the face, massaged it, and oiled his long hair.
“Why did you let your hair get this long?”
“I want to cut if I find the grave of my baby's father. But it feels impossible, the name alone I do not know, what else is his tomb?”
“So you've been pregnant and given birth before?”
“Yes. But my son is gone, he's following his father!”
“I'm so sad to hear it, Lin!”
“Did Aunt Elle never tell you?”
“As I recall, no!”
“Oh, that means Mr Askel didn't even know I had a child?”
“It looks like so.”
“Alright, don't say anything to him,”
“Don't, I'm not ready.”
“Actually what does your hair have to do with the baby's father?”
“Nothing, it's just that before my baby is gone, he keeps holding my hair until his hands are cold. Oh, yes, Bi .. is it possible that the dead can come back to life?”
“Omong empty what is it? I've never heard of anything like that!”
“Yes! I think the same!”
After all the series of Lintani treatments were completed, that day, Mo gave Lintani a sleeveless black wana dres with a length above the knee, and a low neck, making Lintani's appearance so cheerful. He braided his hair to the side and pinned two hairpins.
The bodyguards and Mo, took her out of the hospital after the tense atmosphere within the Harrad family subsided. Lintani is now taken to the villa where Elliyat used to live alone.
Since the mourning began, the Harrad and Barseba families have blamed each other. Things got hotter after seeing the footage from Askelan. The video will be a testament to who would be more ashamed if they kept demanding accountability.
However, eventually the Elders decided to bury the matter tightly and no one should bring it up again. Then things calmed down. If the incident is revealed out, it will tarnish the names of two large families.
How can Dex Barseba, as a proud son and son-in-law, even a candidate for the top leader, have such a bad deed according to human law and morals.
So, they were right to make Askelan the leader of the company.
Especially among families who grew up relying on good names and, kinship relationships, Dex's actions are very beyond the limits of tolerance standards of the Harrad family.
Regarding the matter of Lintani, everyone felt the same way, if the girl had something until Dex had her. This has been an open secret and, for more than a week, an exciting conversation among families.
Therefore, Askelan covered Lintani's existence for a while, until things were completely calm for them. He did not want his wife to get an attack of questioning from many parties if he just appeared.
Askelan asked the Second Chairman when they met after Dex's funeral that time. Although, it is not the right place to talk, but, the second chairman still wants to serve Askelan well.
“Do you wonder about me?” The Second Chief asked back as Askelan finished speaking.
“Yes, I want to know what is special about my wife, until Uncle wants to take her as a daughter-in-law if I divorce her?”
“I just heard a rumor that the girl is the owner of the sign Cemiton Shaw!”
“How can Uncle know?”
“I once got a Photo of a madman on Loyola beach, the sign on the woman's hand in her photo, is a tattoo of the Shaw Family. Then, I saw your wife so similar to the woman in the photo!”
Loyola Beach is a beautiful beach owned by the Harrad family as well, there are many luxury villa buildings there as well as the very famous Loyola resort in the city. Askelan has been there several times. However, he did not remember that there were crazy people there.
“Oh. So then?” askelan said as she folded her hands in front of her chest
“Yes! Have you ever seen that mark on his body?”
“Entai!”
“Don't say you've never touched it! Stupidhead! You have to make sure even if she's a cheap woman!”
Said the Second Chairman while stepping away and shaking his head. Leaving the dumbstruck Askelan on his wheelchair.
While Haifa and Lux's family, hearing this news from their spies, turned out to be mere confusions.
They attended the funeral, but did not hear any significant news about Lintani. Actually they were curious about what was the reason for the woman, being able to be in the mall with a different appearance, and it just so happened that Dex's death happened.
They only find news on the internet if Dex's death is, because of a misfiring target for the fools who train there. There was no other news, and seemed to cover up the actual situation.
They also know that Lintani is hidden somewhere and kept in tight security, because she is a woman contested by many people. This made the family furious and regretted expelling him.
