Remember Me, My Husband!

The Father-in-Law Ultimatum

For a moment Arlan was stunned. The information that mom gave her made her mind wander far away and create her own conclusions in her mind. Arlan himself realized that at this time he should not be rash and easy to believe in just anyone. 

“What do you mean? Maysha's mother caused papi's death?” 

“Iya, Arlan. If only Maysha's mother had not caused your papi death, Mami would not have hindered your intention to marry her.” 

Arlan was stunned again. In disbelief invaded his heart. “But how could Maysha's mother be the cause of papi death?” 

“The story is long. You used to hate Maysha so much. But somehow at that time you even blinded love. You are even willing to move all your assets on behalf of him.” Mami wiped away the tears that soaked both sides of her cheeks. “But since you're back now, you can reroute all those assets, right?” 

Arlan looked at her mum who was still sobbing. Pay attention to every gesture of the woman's body. Then weigh all the words of mami in your heart. 

“I'll think again. I'll talk to Andre.” 

“What else should you talk about, anyway, son? Maysha could've taken all yours. If that happens you won't have anything else.” 

Arlan was silent. Nor promise to smooth the wishes of the mother. From where he sat he glanced at Andre. Since then Andre has only been silent and did not interfere in the conversation.

“You sure you want to reroute the assets you have moved on behalf of Maysha?” ask Andre after the departure of Mami Gina. 

“According to you?” Arlan asked back. Created a frown on Andre's forehead. You could say at this time Andre is very confused with the behavior of the boss. Just yesterday he came in plain and knew nothing. And now he seems very mysterious and full of secret plans. 

“I don't know. But I just want to remind, do not let you take the wrong action and regret.”

“Take it easy. There will be no regrets after this.” Arlan chuckled while playing his phone. Currently he is opening some news about the accident three years ago on the internet and only realized that the incident had shocked the community. A little bit of Arlan found some interesting information. Including the cause of the accident that still holds a mystery. 

“Prepare for departure out of town as soon as possible. I want you to come, because we're going to check something important.”

Arlan arrives home after a long day at the office. On the way home, he stopped by a food stall and bought rice rendang for Maysha. 

A few days ago Bik Wiwin told me that Maysha really likes the food because her mother used to make it for her. 

Just about to enter the room, Arlan's steps had already come to a halt. Inside there was a man sitting on the side of the bed while feeding Maysha. 

“What the fuck is this?” arlan murmured in the heart. 

At first he was very upset and wanted to beat up any man who dared to enter his private room. However, after he looked more carefully, the figure inside turned out to be quite familiar. 

Yeah, that's Maysha's dad. Her father-in-law. Arlan remembers seeing her portrait on the wedding photo album. 

"Yes, Son. But later if there is a problem do not keep it alone. You can say the same to Dad. It will be our secret." 

Maysha reviews the smile. 

"Then I'll go home first. You got plenty of rest, yeah." 

"Yes, Dad." 

The middle-aged man confirmed the blanket wrapped around his daughter's body. Before going out of the room he had time to immerse a kiss of love in the forehead. 

While Arlan was still pecking near the door. He was not even aware since when his father-in-law was standing before him. He only regained consciousness after hearing the deheman from the in-laws. 

The awkward attitude was immediately shown Arlan. I don't know why his father-in-law's gaze was able to freeze his body. 

“Three years ago I handed over the responsibility of Maysha to you with a trust capital. I understand that you have an accident and are sick. But, if you are already unable to carry out that responsibility and be fair, I ask Maysha to return it to me.” 

Arlan just pegged in place. His mouth is locked. The father-in-law had just welcomed him by dropping a deadly ultimatum. 

"I'll give you some time to finish this. If you can't find a fair way for Maysha. I'll take him from you." 

"Good, Dad. I'm really sorry" Arlan replied, without daring to meet her in-laws again. 

The middle-aged man patted Arlan on the shoulder before leaving. Leaving Arlan who was still silent on the spot. 

"You're home, Mom?" Laura's voice greeted the ears. Arlan looked at the woman. However, not a word was said from his lips. 

“Mas, your mother came here. I talked a lot about meeting us until we finally got married. Your mother is very happy with my pregnancy.” 

“Oh ...” Only that short answer was given by Arlan. Made Laura distraught by her cold attitude. 

“Oh yes, your mother approved our marriage. She said she wants to make our wedding reception, all thanks for your return.” 

What Laura said made Arlan's pair of eyes squint. Now he understood why his father-in-law looked so disappointed and angry. It must have something to do with Laura and Mom.  

 “Repception? For what?” 

“How are you, Mas? Yes of course to introduce me to everyone that I am also your wife.” 

“Wife? Looks like here you are amnesia.” 

“What do you mean? Did you forget that you married me three months ago?” 

Arlan smirked, then took off Laura's hand that was coiled around her arm. 

“You must remember one thing, that the one who married you was Devan, not Arlan. Until here understand, right?”
