"So, you like the gifts?" ask Jonas.
The man was sitting on the head of the bed. An ipad that Jonas usually uses for consecutive work as well as in their bed. Her husband was still busy even when the night was already this late, Qeunby thought.
Qeunby sighed softly. "Who the hell, brother, who does not like to be given a gift bag worth a dozen million?" Quenby said sarcasm. "Mama's face that Qeunby saw earlier was the friendliest face during Qeunby's becoming her child." Quenby smiled bitterly.
If he had money for a long time, Quenby would probably always buy her whatever her stepmother wanted, so she wouldn't hate him too much.
Seeing the mood of his wife who turned grim, Jonas immediately took off his reading glasses, then put together with the iPad he had been holding onto the nightstand. Possessively Jonas shifted his seat and pulled his wife's body to embrace.
"Isn't it to please someone like that?" Qeunby frowned at the words of her husband. "If you don't lose just by being given a heart, just give it a treasure." said the man who smiled at his wife.
Qeunby thought for a moment. She agreed with her husband's statement. "Yes, right. Mama never gave her heart to Qeunby. But Mama still can love a place to shelter and also send Qeunby. If only Mama had chosen to abandon Quenby, her stepson, in an orphanage or on the street. Can't Qeunby meet with Brother?" Quenby returned her husband's smile.
Jonas felt a tightness in his chest. The wife's words describe the woman's inability in the fate that befalls her.
Beaten, reviled and always demeaned because of his mother who he said was a seductive woman. Jonas could not imagine how his wife survived to live for decades by accepting resignedly all the treatment.
Jonas' family life is clearly inversely proportional. Although both parents are busy, but he is much luckier because both Mommy and her Papi never play hands or speak verbally abusive.
Jonas lifted his wife's body to sit on his lap. And that position allowed them to look at each other.
Jonas' hand stroked Quenby's back in a silk nightgown. "The first time I saw you in Student Orientation, your smile was the prettiest among the new students" Jonas smiled as he recalled the school days.
Jonas had just moved up to third grade High School. The figure of the girl in a blue white uniform with the frills of new student accessories, which filled the black hair of her ponytail did not make the prospective younger sister of her class look strange.
From the start of the meeting, eyes as sharp as the eagle was already targeting Qeunby as the girl who would occupy the seat of her ninja-motorcycle that had just been empty, he said, the result was decided by his girlfriend because the ex-girlfriend had graduated from their school. Yep. Jonas was dating his upperclassman at the time.
Cheerful smile with sparkling eyes from his underclassman named Qeunby never found for him. Instead, his underclassman looked down when Jonas accidentally greeted him. Jonas was quite satisfied. Because it turned out from a distance his class sister was secretly watching him. And from then on, Jonas was deliberately out in the open, so that the girl named Qeunby could see him easily.
When he recalled how cheerful Qeunby used to be, Jonas became curious to ask, "Was the first time we met at school, Mama still violent to you?" Jonas stared at his wife's soothing honey bead. Qeunby's gaze was able to drown Jonas in the world of women in front of him.
Quenby was a little surprised when her husband discussed the matter. Then Quenby unconsciously looked at the time where he had just become a high school student.
The small-bodied girl with a warm smile that never escaped the lips of her underclassmen at that time turned out to hold a lot of pain. Qeunby was too neat to cover it.
"Why not complain, or ask for protection?" ask Jonas.
Qeunby smiled bitterly. "If Qeunby does that, then who can guarantee the life of Qeunby, brother? Even if there were, they couldn't possibly guarantee Qeunby's life for years, right? Even though Mama is like that, but Mama still wants to send Qeunby to graduate. Yes ... even after that Qeunby had to work rode in return," said Qeunby, at the end of his sentence he laughed crisply.
Regarding the work of roda which is meant by the wife, explained Jonas tau. Qeunby was never paid the same amount of money as her stepmother's Boutique manager, perhaps not even paid. And it happened for a dozen years. For that reason some weeks ago he went to see his mother-in-law to make a deal.
"I could have demanded your treatment with a layered chapter. About you who committed violence and torture, as well as labor. There is no evidence of a pay transfer or any record that Quenby was paid. And your Employees at this Boutique could be the witness!" threaten Jonas. "And for the violence, my wife has photographic evidence" he said, lying.
Kirana who heard that was instantly enraged. The daughter-in-law in front of him was very brave to threaten him. "What do you really want?"
"Disconnect your relationship from My Wife. Don't put the hardships you and your children have had on your 29-year-old inhumane stepparent. If you agree to it, then I won't take this case to the legal track!"
When remembering the threat succeeded by not being grappled again the Wife, Jonas was quite satisfied. That was all he could do so far to break his wife's toxic relationship with his stepfamily.
"So, in other words, you just accept the treatment and have no intention of retaliating?" jonas's fishing rod responded to his wife's statement.
Qeunby flanged with a cheerful smile. "That's all Qeunby can do in return thanks to Mama for raising Quenby. After all Quenby had already gained a lot of affection and love from Mommy Luisa, Papi Hermawan, Jeny, Aunt Dewita, Nico, Chila, Angel, Luis and Sara's Mother. Qeunby's been very bah-"
"You didn't mention my name?" Jonas sulking.
How can his 4th son be included in the list of the Wife. Even Sara's mother the penggadu was even included in the row of names of people whose wives were grateful.
Jonas still remembers how his Mommy came with a grumpy face towards his apartment while he was carrying Qeunby in a state of unconsciousness. It turns out it was Sara's mother who contacted her Mommy because she was worried about Quenby.
Just crazy. Jonas was not a sissy man who lightly hit women.
Quenby stared into Jonas' pitch-black bead of eyes like the deepest ocean. Then he said, "Absolutely, you have a love for Qeunby?"
