Should I Joke (Again)

69. Thank you for making it mine

Flashback off

Back the excitement of the reception party that is getting night more and more guests arrive. Rei looked at the married couple who were taking their parents together. Papa and his mother look reluctant, especially from the beginning mama has tried to avoid.

Remembering her son's happy day today, she chose to forget her ego. Shame on the irony that has prepared everything, and also on his hard-earned son-in-law arranging a luxurious happy event so that Rei forgets his past.

At first mama Rei rejoiced to see a party that was so lively, with many invited guests who were almost all young business people, and people who qualified in their respective fields, respectively, and see the happiness in the eyes of the bride who is not new anymore.

But when he saw that there were invited guests he never suspected were there even went up to the singasana following the queue of people who wanted to shake hands with the bride and groom, making mama a little strange.

How the son and daughter-in-law invited people who had been present in Rei's past, and had incised deep wounds. What was on their minds, why should they relate to those people from the past again.

I don't know what game they are living, but as a parent Mama Rei hopes after this there will be no more bullies in the household life of his son.

Reza tried to greet her former in-laws, from the beginning of ascending to this place, both of Rei's parents seemed reluctant to see her. But Reza is self-conscious maybe they are still angry over his attitude first when he was Rei's husband.

Reza tried to take Papa Rei's hand and kiss him as he used to do, even when he last met in the courtroom Reza greeted his in-laws.

Papa Rei was surprised because Reza was present there with his wife who used to be his son's honey, as well as a baby who was about one year old. Although reluctant, papa Rei still regretted it. While shaking hands with his wife, Reza was a little intimidated by Rei's mama's cynical look.

Papa Rei whispered to his wife and finally wanted to greet the couple. Now that they were in front of the two brides, Reza and Lia greeted Rei alternately. Reza was stunned to see Rei's beautiful appearance tonight.

"You haven't changed Rei, stay beautiful even more beautiful than before." Inner Reza. His eyes did not stop staring at Rei, making Rei a little uneasy. Lia nudged her husband to immediately end his salaman, because behind them there were still many who wanted to congratulate the bride.

"Rei, congratulations. May you be happy and soon given a baby." said Reza

"Thank you, please enjoy the party" Rei replied normally, then he received a helping hand from his ex-wife whose appearance is now more closed maybe Reza who asked him to look like it or his own consciousness, Rei did not care.

Rei's face was not one bit out of Ardan's sight. He knows the contents of his wife's heart, even though there is no longer a taste for her ex-husband, but Rei always avoids meeting her as told by his sister-in-law Miko.

Reza greets Ardan and is welcomed, as Reza's shaking hands are again surprised by Ardan's statement.

"Congratulations, may you be happy and have a baby soon." Reza

"Thank you, as soon as possible we'll catch up with having a cute baby like this as well." replied Ardan while stroking the puffed cheeks of the baby in Reza's arms.

"And thank you for making it mine." Ardan's statement provoked Reza to think, whether before parting ways with him Rei had known Ardan and had a relationship, or he just wants to provoke his emotions.

There is what, why the look on her husband's face a little bit riled up. Lia shook her head, she threw away her negative thoughts. For her Reza is now completely hers, and Rei will not want to go back to her, let alone Rei's husband is now a fairly successful young businessman in this city.

It turned out that Rei's fate was much luckier than her, despite being both widowed but Rei even looked like a newly married girl. Rei's first husband was a soldier who died on duty and could still give Rei alimony money even though he was gone. While Lia, her first husband was a staff at one of the tax offices but despite his salary is quite large but because of his prestige and lifestyle is always not enough.

Lia even got violent several times if she asked where the rest of her salary was, and a year before the divorce even her husband's salary never reached her.

Now after getting divorced from Reza, Rei still has a lot of savings from the sale of their home, and Lia despite being Reza's legal wife and living in a house much bigger than Rei's house, still feels there is less.

If everything is measured by money then there will be no end, especially if you know the treasures of the deceased husband Rei, surely Lia will be more envious. Lia knew almost everything about Rei from Reza's story, but they would never know how much money Rei had from her husband's relics. Because Rei doesn't like anyone harassing hers.

Only a short break can sit on the second wedding bride stand up to shake hands with the invited guests. Although it was aching but Rei and Ardan kept smiling. Rumors circulating that what Ardan married was not a girl had spread. Even the ballroom talks about it.

But the show must go on, bodo time they want to say what, this is my life, Ardan said. No one will be able to manage it. Want to marry a girl or a widow no problem as long as parents approve, and they are happy why not.

So today at this reception party Ardan seemed to announce his ownership of his wife Rei, on the contrary he would also not give the opportunity to others to become actors or players who are going viral at this time.

If you look at Rei's previous status as a widow, and now managed to marry a rich and handsome young man, Rei would just want to get his property. And without them knowing Rei's personal treasures would never have been eaten up.

Rei who was observant saw the opportunity, first when his in-laws and brother invited him to talk about the matter of the deceased's possessions, Rei had refused but because of Rei's right they still handed him over. Rei asks papa mama Hadi to keep managing the estate owned by her husband, and she only occupies the house and the car given.

And the money in the bank in the form of deposits Rei let into his savings later, not to mention his hard-earned money during work he has made one of his side businesses and now it has begun to run. Rei did not say much, he better move and see the results.

Rei was with some of his friends who also chose to resign after marriage, opening a joint business is an accessories store that sells trinkets made from raw used goods that after being processed into aesthetic goods with a fairly high selling price.

It's their first year, and the response has been good. From just a few pieces to dozens of products, there are now twenty products sold both online and offline.

The result is enough to increase the pocket money of these young wives and mothers. Joint capital, working together, starting from finding materials to conceptualize products, and stringing them into a beautiful product.

Rei still kept it a secret from Ardan and his parents, just like those who did not know the treasures of the deceased. Maybe later when he's ready he'll tell me everything.
