PRETEND POOR

UPIK ABU BECAME QUEEN

Bugh!

Ferdian lays a punch in Jonathan's face until Jonathan falls to the floor. Unsatisfied with giving one punch, he woke Jonathan up again, pulled his collar and beat him back. Punch after punch he continues to give to vent his frustration.

Bodyguards stood guard around them. Jonathan did not dare to fight, he was only resigned to be used as an object to be beaten.

"Have you really been bothering Meka all this time?" Ferdian clutched tightly around Jonathan's neck. His eyes were staring hard and his neck veins were stiffening.

Jonathan tried to adjust his breath, his face was already battered to the point of opening his mouth only hurt. "I'm sorry. It's just a misunderstanding." Jonathan still doesn't fully admit his mistake.

"Misunderstand? You said my wife was a cheap woman and my son was a bastard!" Ferdian.

"I don't know if she's your wife, sir. While working at GoodFood, she was unmarried."

"Do you need to know about the personal lives of others? No matter how good your brain is if you can't separate personal matters from business, I think you're just trash to be rid of!" Ferdian pushed Jonathan back. He stood up after making the man helpless. "Yoga!" his yell.

Ferdian's assistant standing there immediately ran over.

Bugh!

Ferdian gave his fist to Yoga as well. "You could put someone like him in the company."

Yoga lowered his head while holding onto his injured cheek. "I'm sorry, sir. But, our company's sales increased after the news he made."

"He also wanted to tell me about my wife who had a child without marriage!" Ferdian said with emotion.

"really?" Yoga put on his face.

"I don't want to know. Fire him from the company and make him unable to get a job in this country! If he still dares to tell me about Meka and Davin, drag him to jail for whatever reason!"

"Good, Sir. I'll do it."

"Keep him out of here! I'll go back inside."

Ferdian left the mess he just created just like that. He took back the coat he was wearing. "Basic troublemakers!" objurgation.

Meanwhile, in the inner area of the party room, Meka and her children and in-laws stood in the middle of the main stage. The two hosts officially introduced new members to the Gumalang Group's extended family. Meka officially bears the name Ferdian Gumalang behind his name. Davin and Callista.

That night the Meka family was not present at her own request. After her father married her to Ferdian, Meka did not want her family to interfere too much with her life. Although they suddenly became caring and doting about her, Meka no longer felt the need for them. His family had already regained a lot of treasure from Ferdian after interrupting him.

Meka did not want to be a dairy cow for her family anymore. She will live her life as a wife. Even if later Ferdian appeared again, at least he already had enough supplies to continue life without the need to rely on others.

If he thought back to the past, he felt like he was so stupid, why not do something like that a long time ago. He always obeyed Ferdian because of the interests of his parents. But, after sacrificing for their sake, it turned out that no one really cared about him.

"They, you cut the ribbon for the inauguration of our family's new hotel." Mr. Yon, Meka's father-in-law handed him the scissors.

They set their eyes on their father and mother-in-law. The two of them were seen nodding in a sign inviting him to cut the ribbon. The smile that he himself had not dared to expect, now looked so sincerely given to him.

"Alright, let's welcome Mother Meka to inaugurate our Fantacy Hotel tonight."

"One ... two ... three!"

They cut ribbons as a symbol of the inauguration of the hotel accompanied by the sound of a standing ovation. After a long time as a figure, Meka now feels the main role in her life. Hera Gumalang, her mother-in-law, gave her a warm embrace.

Hera was proud to have a daughter-in-law like Meka. She has raised Davin well, can also be a good connecting mother to Callista. Although he knows his son still loves Renata, he hopes his son can also give the same love to Meka. However, Meka has given birth to Davin who will later become the successor to the family business.

"Is the show done?" ferdian asked as they had stepped off the main stage.

Meka put on an annoyed face as Ferdian came over and hugged her possessive waist. He chose to avoid.

"Why? You still called me 'honey', why turn cold again like this." Ferdian protested with the treatment he received.

"When have we ever been that close? Said you only wanted to touch me in bed." Meka looked haughty as she said that.

Ferdian's dead fleas can't chim in on his words. He also did not understand himself, why now he became so interested in the woman? He should even be angry because Meka dared to argue. It was like a lion turning into a cat.

"Then, let's go straight into the room!" Ferdian won't budge.

"I can't, I want to breastfeed Callista first." They ignored Ferdian's existence. He took Callista from his nanny's carrier and brought her into the room.

Ferdian. He entered the same room as Meka and closed it again. He notices the woman who issues her side of the bill*danya for Callista. Women who initially just want to be used as a nanny for their children, somehow now he increasingly wants to master it. He wanted Meka to be by his side forever.

Ferdian sat down next to Meka, hugging her waist while noticing how calm Callista was nursing her to her mother. Her daughter was so easy to get close to Meka. Ferdian, who initially thought he would quickly get bored with Meka, turned out to be wrong. It seems he is starting to love Meka's existence.

"Are you still angry?" ask Ferdian.

"Everything you do and give me will not be able to replace the weight of the time that Davin and I have passed." Meka spoke in a flat tone. He doesn't want to joke. This time he spoke seriously.

"I know, I'm sorry."

It was impossible for Meka to hear an apology from Ferdian's mouth. "It looks like you're not well enough to be able to apologize to me" he said.

"Eitherway! I feel guilty for you. I promise I'll make you queen for the rest of my life so I can make amends for my old mistakes."

Meka laughed a little. "Have you forgotten Renata?"

Ferdian sighed. "Can't women believe that men can give equal love to women? I love you as much as I love Renata. Even now, it seems that I love you more because of your great service and struggle for my two children."

"Do I have to leave Renata for you to believe?"

Meka speechless. It feels so bad that he could do such a thing. Renata had suffered, while he had so much love from so many parties. It was not the time for her to be envious of Renata.
