My wife is still a Virgin

Chapter 62 The Redemption of Sin

Madam Liem seemed to be sipping her espress slowly, enjoying every bittersweet and bitter taste while reminiscing about Angela.

'Oh, Friend. May you be calm in heaven, ' he said in his heart, looking at the horizon of twilight that began to show a tinge of orange. A moment later, he wrote down an address, on a piece of paper he got from the waiter of the restaurant. The address includes a small street plan as well as a phone number that can be dialed, after he had a quick look at the contact list on his tablet.

"This is all I have. Somehow, thirty years passed, whether the old woman was still there. To my knowledge, the clinic was continued by her granddaughter. But, I also have never been there after Angela's departure," Ms. Liem said as she handed the streak to Ms. Han.

"Is it possible to find him? Are there any better herbalists?" madam Han hesitated and seemed to need certainty.

"Madam, I've been looking for the best herbalist, even to Singapore. There is nothing better than Mak Perot. He is truly the hand of the gods" said Mrs Liem without a doubt.

Madam Han nodded with understanding and felt very grateful for the help given by her former enemy. "thank you. I really feel guilty for everything I've done" Madam Han said with deep regret.

Madam Liem looked at her with concern. "Apardon Angela's grave. Did Luke know anything before his birth?" madam Liem asked, full of curiosity. He is rarely interested in other people's business, unless it is related to his best friend, Angela.

"Of course not. I wish you could keep this a secret until the end of your life. I truly appreciate if you do," Madam Han replied with a hint of silence, feeling a sudden unease. He realized that the saying 'hidden carcasses will still smell' was true. Lady Han didn't know until when she could hide the truth about Luke's mother. Madam Han really did not want Luke to turn around hating her after they had gone through many days together as the only family.

"Alright, of course I don't want to interfere. Luke also I consider like my own son" said Mrs Liem firmly.

Madam Han smiled as she sipped the warm tea she had just ordered. His face seemed softer, and memories that had been forgotten came to fill his mind. A memory of the warmth of a family, especially of Luke and himself. If only he would open his heart and accept the love story of his son and daughter-in-law without any evil intentions and ego that dominates, undoubtedly, this afternoon the five of them will be able to joke and talk warmly like family in general. If only time could be repeated, Madame Han would certainly do everything that could be pursued, so that Luke's happiness was never taken away.

The search for Luke is not easy. Madame Han is even forced to join a notorious mobster to track down the tracks of Angela and her baby who have been enslaved by the Ssaem brothel on Jeju Island. Angela, exhausted from being forced to work, finally breathes her last after being saved by Madame Han. What an ironic story, fate seems to play with the fate of Angela who is innocent and does not know how the world works.

Madame Han, who had previously dropped Angela into the abyss of suffering, suddenly came to be a savior, as the woman was on the verge of despair. Angela's condition is very concerning, because she is always enslaved by very cruel pimps. Lukas, then four, was evacuated from a prostitution district. He managed to claim his right as the rightful heir of K-Group after going through a strict DNA verification process. This does not happen for no reason, as Luke's father, who is the sole heir to the K-Group, died in a car accident.

As if getting a second chance at life, Madame Han decides to look for Luke and her mother whom she once threw away. His search was done with determination and using all available resources. Eventually, they were found, albeit in terrible circumstances. Unfortunately, Angela was unable to survive for long and died after receiving treatment at the K-Group private hospital. Only Luke was saved, and he was the only family left for Lady Han.

With great affection and care, Madame Han took care of Luke. Although Luke experienced many traumas, both physical and mental, he managed to recover well thanks to the care and attention given. Luke also began to be able to adapt to the surrounding environment and began education like other normal children when he was seven years old.

................

The conversation of the two great madams went on without any obstacles. The ceasefire has begun. Hostility has been eliminated. This time, both MNGTV Group and K-Group, will be able to go hand in hand and also complete a long-buried grudge.

"Thank you for your time, I really appreciate it" Madame Han said politely to her new colleague. The predicate of the enemy has been completely wiped out, and this time, they will welcome a new brighter future, both personally, and professionally.

"No problem, Madam. I'm glad I could help. I'm also relieved that this matter has finally been resolved" said Ms. Liem with a smile.

They looked at each other with a shady face, as the sun sinking began to change the color of the sky to be darker. Contrasting with the originally bright natural phenomenon of becoming gray, the relationship of mistress Han and mistress Liem gradually improved, from being originally filled with grudges to being a pair of true comrades. The two great mistresses managed to re-establish a friendship they had once built that suddenly collapsed due to the sheer evil of ego.

[Sukabumi, West Java]

"Are you sure the address is correct?" ask Mrs Han to Mr. Kardi, the driver.

"Yes, Madam. This is the address" answered Mr. Kardi with confidence. They parked the car near the field, then headed to the blue tenement house located across the street.

With a thumping heart, Madam Han knocked on the door of the tenement. A short while later, a tired and slightly disheveled middle-aged woman opened the door.

"Sorry, is this Mak Perot's house?" ask Madam Han doubtfully.

The woman shook her head, her face full of astonishment. "My name, tea, Euis, Buk. Not Mak Perot. Can I help you?"

Madam Han looked at Mr. Kardi in annoyance, it seemed like they had the wrong address. "I'm looking for Mak Perot. Do you know a woman named Mak Perot? He's a masseur, an herbalist, you know?"

Euis frowned, trying to remember. "Mac Perot? Sorry, my tea doesn't know who it is. Maybe the wrong address."

Madam Han felt disappointed and confused. He took out a paper with an address scribble from his suit pocket. "But this is the address, right. What, you really don't know about Mak Perot?"

Euis shook his head. "Hampura, voyeur, Mother. I don't know about Mak Perot, really. Maybe his mother got the wrong address."

A sense of disappointment struck Madam Han. After all the effort and hope he nurtured, it finally ran aground as well. What about the fate of his grandson? No one else could make an antidote to the poison of Macadonia.

But luck came suddenly. A short while later, someone approached towards the two of them. "Mother! That Mak Perot, tea, Yuki's grandmother! The owner of this house. But he is dead" said a man named Pak Ujang. He was the husband of Euis, who had just returned from a taxi.

Feeling that she was at the right address, Madam Han felt relieved. "May I ask you something? Of course, this question is not free. I want to pay my father's time" said Madam Han with full assertiveness. Of course, Mr. Ujang did not refuse. He allowed his new guests to enter his tenement and was willing to answer any questions about the owner of the tenement.
