Revenge of the Former

Revenge of the Former
CONTROVERSIES



A few weeks after the incident came the issue at the restaurant that Mona and Arief were involved in a romance until it was heard in Bu Siti's ear.


Hearing that Ms. Siti not only stayed silent, she questioned Arief and made sure that it was all not true, this time Arief still covered his relationship with Mona because he did not want to cause other problems.


But with video footage circulating in Mona's special group of restaurant workers there was a hot video of Arief and Mona kissing.


Bu Siti was deliberately told by an employee named Salsa who recorded the incident directly at that time, he continued to persuade Bu Siti to interrogate her son so as not to be an example for other employees.


That day when the restaurant will close Bu Siti asked Arief to gather all employees including Mona, Bu Siti intended to make sure the video of her son was not true.


After all the employees gathered and Ms. Siti who was sitting in a chair was still waiting for Mona to take care of her clothes.



Mona comes with an appearance that makes the employees feel jealous of her, actually they do not know that Mona is the real boss because the opening ceremony of Mona only allows Siti's mom to cut her ribbon. So they thought Bu Siti and Arief were the owners of the restaurant.


The employees looked at her cynically because they thought Mona was excessive in makeup and the clothes she was wearing were not appropriate to be worn by ordinary restaurant employees like her.


Mona sits on the bench next to Bu Siti while Arief and the other employees stand in front of her, seeing that the employees are back in gossip and Salsa yells at her as a shameless woman.


Salsa deliberately behaved that way because she was jealous of Arief and Mona's closeness during her work there, hearing that Arief was staring directly at Salsa.


"Take a look at Salsa"


said Arief


"Sir Arief was already tempted by a woman like her, his words were so cheap just to hook someone like father"


said Salsa


"I don't care what you say about me, but not Mona"


"See Bu Siti, Pak Arief has been used by Mona"


the chirp that lured Bu Siti to speak up


"Have stopped Salsa, we're all here to prove the truth behind the video, not to insult anyone"


say Bu Siti softly


"What really happened, Mom??"


ask Mona


"Not to be plain ass you're Mona's a cheap woman"


"Salsa keep your word or I'll fire you right now"


arief


"So this is what Mona's son, they all saw you and Arief doing the wrong thing in the employee room. I just wanted to ask if it was true?"


"Yes that's all right, ma'am"


answer to Mona


"Tu's Mom, it's obvious that she confessed that she teased our boss"


said Salsa


"Then why would Mona want to do that with my son? it's not appropriate for something like that to happen"


"My mom and Arief are both grown up so it's natural that the most important thing is that we don't do the rest. We are this part..."


Mona had not yet finished her conversation Arief asked her to stop


"It's Mon, don't go on"


arief said as he shook his head to Mona


"Why do you want Mona? Arief watch your behavior, mom never taught you to interrupt people's conversations"


Arief is bowed and resigned if Mona dismantles her relationship with her mother, because she knows that Ms. Siti will reject it.


"Sorry Mom, it's probably wrong for me but Arief and I love each other and I don't think it's wrong for us to be dating"


"So does anyone mind that??"


ask Mona to all the employees


"You're not supposed to be dating Arief, who are you ?? only shameless employees"


said Salsa


"Will it be appropriate for an employee like you to judge me that way?"


"Why not? if indeed you want Arief sir you must compete with me. I thought you could work here because you teased Mr. Arief, right?"


"Enough salsa"


shouted Arief


"Let the Rif have this problem let me handle it, you want to know who I am?"


"Don't be smart as a person"


say Salsa again


"Okay if you want to know who I am tomorrow morning after my absence you all gather in the boss room. I have something to say"


said Mona


"Why do we obey people like you?"


say some employees


"Just do it"


shouted Arief


"Good sir"


say all employees


Arief then dispersed them to go home, then Mona and she approached the sitting Siti's mom and took her home.


In the taxi the three of them just fell silent without discussing anything, until arriving at Bu Siti's house again questioned the two of them.


"Arief and son Mona there's something I want to talk to you about"


say Bu Siti softly


The three of them sat in the living room with a tense atmosphere


"What brief is on your mind that makes Mona your lover? Don't you realize who we are and who Mona wants to be?"


said Bu Siti who looked at the boy


"I know what you mean because we're poor and Mona's way above us. But is it wrong that Arief wants to be a little happy Mom? Since childhood Arief lived a hard life and after meeting Mona everything got better"


"Mother's wife never taught you to take advantage of situations and make fun of you. Mona's son has helped us should we thank him instead of replying to him with something like this"


Arief was just down to hear his mother


"Son Mona forgive me for being so presumptuous that my son shouldn't have done that"


"Mom, I've considered my mother like my own mother because since childhood my parents did not treat me as well as Ms. Siti treated me. So please ma'am let me and Arief stay in this relationship. I don't feel ashamed to have Arief as my lover and to have a mother as my mother"


Hearing Mona's words, Bu Siti's heart melted for a moment


"Well if Mona's son is so adamant about the relationship, I can't do anything but please remember don't ever look down on our family because it would hurt me so much"


"Good ma'am, thank you for your permission"


"But one thing you can't do is have an out-of-bounds relationship, you can date but a healthy one"


"Good Mom"


Arief and Mona embrace Bu Siti and hope that in the future the relationship remains intertwined without any obstacles.
