My wife is still a Virgin
Chapter 61 Karma
The big lady who had accidentally heard the conversation between the doctor and her grandchildren, seemed to be sitting limp.
"Mrs!" rosa shouted in surprise, as the big madam had almost collapsed after sitting suddenly in the kitchen doorway. Rosa immediately helped him to rise. They then walked closer towards the living room.
"Say. Macadonia what?" ask the big lady suddenly to the doctor. It seems, he wanted to make sure of something.
"grandmother. Don'worry. This is just a small problem" Lukas said with hope, not wanting to add to the burden of his grandmother who is struggling with breast cancer.
Doctor Freddy looked clumsy, not knowing what to respond to, regarding the lady's question.
"Shut up, boy! The doctor. Tell. What the hell's going on? Why do doctors call that damned plant?" ask her grandmother back. Luke and Emma looked at each other in astonishment. Does her grandmother know about plants that are even foreign to them?
"Mrs, do you know the Macadonia plant?" ask doctor Freddy not to believe it. Macadonia plants are so foreign that only a handful of people know about them. Not even herbalists had all researched this extremely rare ancient plant. Therefore, his existence seemed to be a legend.
"Hhhh... " The big madam took a deep breath. He turned to his grandson and looked at him with a sad look. Apparently, his grandmother knew about what was going on with Luke.
"Oh, Sweetheart. My babies. It's too bad for your fate" said the grandmother, hugging her grandson with concern. It seemed, he was the one who held full responsibility about the bad luck that was going on in Prasodjo's residence.
"Grandmother." call Emma slowly, as she approaches them both. The big madam was now crying out howling, with no one knowing the cause. Luke and Emma were filled, and without realizing it, their tears also flowed. All three were swept away in grief that could not be expressed in words. Luke's health is declining, every day. Emma just realized it.

...[.Olio Cafe, South Jakarta]...
This afternoon, the big lady has been in a cafe in South Jakarta. After hearing about his grandson's condition, he then contacted an acquaintance who had not seen him for a long time. The big lady hoped, could meet with his acquaintance and discuss about the antidote he had given, decades ago.
"You've come, madam," said a middle-aged woman who had just arrived. The big madam, Han Eun Sook, turned to the direction of the woman's voice. His voice was calm and deep, never changing, since the last time they met, thirty years ago.
"Sit down" the great madam. "What do you want to order, Mrs Liem?" madam Han asked in a low voice, as if not wanting to create unnecessary hospitality.
"Hm, I'm getting enough espresso. Please talk, I'm very busy" he said. Madam Liem sat down well, as per Madam Han's request.
Madam Han seemed to be waving at one of the maids, in order to take note of their order. After finishing the order, finally, Madam Han started the conversation.
"Liem's.... Hhhh.... I'm sorry" he said, breaking the tension between them.
Madam Liem looked surprised. The word 'sorry' was the word he had been waiting for for the past thirty years, yet, it had never been obtained. Today, that word just slid from the mouth of his mortal enemy. Madam Liem who was getting older and shed all the remnants of vengeance in her heart, finally, received an apology from her best friend's former mother-in-law. He then lowered the alertness that had been pointed out sharply earlier. The look of his displeased face, now gradually softened. Madam Liem began to relax all her nerves with a single deep breath.
"Fuuuha...... "
"Alright, Mistress. All of this has been in the past. Now, tell me, what can I do for you?" madam Liem asked, this time it sounded normal, not like she was talking to an enemy.
......................
Mrs Liem's relationship with Mrs Han began when Mrs Liem's best friend Angela, who is also Luke's birth mother, married Mr. Weasley Kim. As the only child of the Prasodjo family, the young Weasley was very arrogant and cold. Luke's biological father had never been in contact with a woman, which gave Mrs Han a headache. He wanted Weasley to marry soon and provide a successor to the Prasodjo family. But Weasley refused.
All the blind dates and matchmaking arranged by his mother just threw him away. Not a single girl could stand his attitude. Until one day, Weasley falls in love with a barmaid named Angela, who is also Mrs Liem's best friend. The beautiful and friendly girl changed Weasley's cold and arrogant temperament, becoming smiling and affectionate. Angela really brought Weasley to her knees to forget about her rich family status.
Weasley didn't want to lose Angela. They even spend the night together, and in the end Angela becomes pregnant with their child even without the bond of marriage. Weasley, drunk with love, takes Angela to the main house to ask for her family's blessing. He's marrying Angela. This creates tension among the family. Madam Han who wanted grandchildren, of course, objected to her child's low standard of choice. Having the son-in-law of a barmaid does not turn their family's dignity to the bottom of the abyss. Madame Han was very against it, however, Weasley's life was at stake. He threatens to end his life, otherwise, being allowed to marry Angela. Madam Han and the husband had no choice but to grant her request.
The hell of the world has just begun for Angela. Her life as a little mistress was not easy. Madame Han did not believe in the validity of the child conceived by Angela. He always thought that Angela was just a p*lacur who wanted to master her son's treasure. Until one time, so that events like this do not recur, Weasley manipulated to drink herbal tea that can prevent his s*sexual desire. Madam Han asked Angela to brew the tea for her husband's health.
Madame Han imported Macadonia roots from the Amazon Forest to be blended with some other plants as an herbal tea. The tea serves as a cure for sexual desire, so that a person will lose passion and cannot make the stem stand properly.
A shaman recommended it complete with an evil spirit-exorcising talisman, so that Weasley would no longer be enamored with low-class women who did not conform to their standards.
"This drug stop, when you already have the right choice of daughter-in-law" said the shaman while concocting the herbal tea. Madam Han nodded her head in understanding, and started giving the tea to her son every day.
A few weeks after consuming the herbal tea, Weasley's sexual arousal has completely decreased. In fact, Angela had not received an inner living since one month ago. Madame Han was relieved, this could be the subject of Angela's expulsion to leave her son with her own feet. However, her conjecture is wrong, Angela still survives, until the birth of their baby.
Feeling cornered, Madame Han plots a sinister plot to separate the two. If Angela does not leave the residence, it is impossible that Weasley will get a new wife that fits her criteria. Madame Han ended up slandering Angela.
"Your wife is trying to poison you and take control of our treasure, son! Look at this tape," Ms. Han said one time, as she began her evil plan. Because the allegations are accompanied by evidence and very strong CCTV footage, Angela can not dwell. Weasley looked disappointed, and no longer spoke to Angela. Madam Han's plan was successful. Angela shut herself in the room after giving birth to her first child. His health deteriorated further, until he asked the help of Mrs Liem-her best friend, to overcome this.
When Madam Liem interfered in their affairs, another conflict ensued. He could easily read the slander from Madame Han. They were already used to doing such dirty things to take care of their enemies. When she was about to confront this matter to Madame Han, Angela prevented her. Angela doesn't want to ruin the mother-daughter relationship. She would discuss this with her husband in private, without making a fuss. Liem was quite familiar with the decision of his best friend, although a bit heavy-hearted. Liem has also paid someone to make an antidote for her very rare Macadonia tea, so Angela can be freed from the accusations of a malevolent plot by her husband's family. Angela smiled and hugged her best friend warmly. It was the last hug Liem got from Angela.
Undeniably, Weasley, who is in a state of hatred, eventually expels Angela to a district in Korea, along with their son, without wanting to hear an explanation of his conspiracy of illness. Angela, trapped in the situation, was eventually sold to a pimper, while Weasley made a huge financial gain. The man was really disappointed with Angela whom he considered to have betrayed his love. On the other hand, Madam Han was satisfied and had won the fight. The fate of Angela and baby Luke ends miserably, in the entanglement of a prostitution circle abroad.
......................
That was, in the end, why Lady Liem hated the Prasodjo family so much. However, he is grateful that Luke has returned to his extended family. Liem did not hate Luke, who was considered his own son. He protects Luke secretly, in honor of Angela's hard-working self who has been caring for him in his limitations.
However, it is undeniable, that Liem's failure to clear Angela's name, has really haunted her all her life. Liem is frustrated after losing track of Angela. Weasley did not want to talk about it either. Liem's grudge doubled on the Prasodjo family.
To this day, after decades, the much hated family returns to seek itself, as if to atone for the sins of the past they once brought.
