The Left Behind Name

The arrival of mother-in-law.

Rania's routine at the boutique is not much different than usual, the same atmosphere with several bodyguards standing guard inside and outside the boutique for Rania's security.

Zein's last night, it still feels today. Hmmmm... And without forcing, I will not reject you, Zein. In front of the mirror Rania continued to look at her face, holding her lips and occasionally smiling.

Rania, at home there's Mama, can you go home with mama? I still have an important meeting. His phone rang, was seen and the screen swiped on his phone. It turned out to be a short message from Zein.

My mother-in-law is at home today... What's up dad? Inner Rania was curious. Then immediately reply to the message. All right, baby, I'm gonna go home and see Mom at home. Reply Rania briefly, accompanied by a word of affection. Then Zein received that reply. Honey, didn't I see wrong? Rania called me baby? Inner Zein was astonished, while smiling to himself looking at the screen of his phone. Ronald knocked on the door from the outside. "Lake in!" zain from the room. Ronald opened the door and walked up to Zein with a file in his hand.

"Sir, this is the file you need to see! There's a problem file in it."

Hearing Ronald's words just now, Zein immediately asked. "What do you mean by the word trouble?" zein asked firmly while looking at Ronald's face.

"the project of building a shopping center in the city of A whose preparation has reached ten percent and we are running it has stopped without confirmation from our side" explained Ronald.

"How could that have happened? Didn't all the funds I have prepared and have agreed? Is something wrong with the use of funds that I have prepared?" ask Zein again.

"It doesn't seem like it's about the funds, sir. I've checked the funds for the construction there and the results are appropriate and no funds are lost." Ronald explained it clearly while showing some of the data in the file. After Zein checked, it was true that there was no problem with the funds he had prepared. Then what's the problem? Zein thought full of probes, clenching both hands and pinned under his chin.

"If the problem is not in the funds that are prepared less or problematic, then what makes our project stop?" Zein looked at Ronald's face.

"It looks like the land provider wants to try to cancel the project that we agreed to, sir." explains Zein.

"What do you mean cancel? Didn't we and the land provider agree?" reply Zein growled.

"That's what confused me, sir. Looks like someone's trying to seize the project we're running, sir. Of course that guy must have offered a bigger deal than us." Ronald explained.

"Who is that guy? Nothing had bothered me before, and I had never bothered anyone else either." asked Zein curiously.

"It looks like someone who almost messed up the apartment building project in the city of B precisely in Singapore last month is the same person as the current one, it's just my analysis, sir. Based on the similarity of the data that I found." Ronald explained, while thrusting the file on Zein. Zein immediately opened the file and read it. "quickly investigate and confirm again on the land provider!!" zein's orders were firm as he placed the file next to his desk. "Well, sir." Ronald replied as he nodded politely and rushed out of the room.

Inside the room, Zein kept thinking about who the person behind all this was and tried to want to destroy it. All this time he almost never had any enemies in business. For him, in doing business, there are certain principles that should not be violated, for example by not forcing or justifying all means. It is very different from Rey Savian who justifies all means even if it forces or hurts others. For Rey, what she wants, she has to get it. No one can stop him.

In silence, Zein suddenly thought of someone who had threatened him some time ago, his conjecture had led to him, but he preferred to dismiss him before being proven the truth.

As soon as home.

"Moment... How are you?" with a smile, Rania greeted while kissing her mother-in-law's hand, then hugged her.

"Mama's news is fine, how are you?" her mother-in-law asked with a happy smile as she wrapped both her right hands on Rania's shoulders.

"Ah... I'm fine, as you can see." said Rania with a small laugh, with her mother-in-law's hand, and welcome to sit on the sofa.

Both of them sat on the sofa.

"Rania, how was your marriage to Zein? Are you happy?" asked her mother-in-law gently with a thin smile and held her shoulders gently.

Rania was silent for a moment, and then she started to make a sound. "I'm happy, Zein is a very good husband" Rania replied with a smile, then in his hand held her mother-in-law and then put her on the knee of her foot and held them both hands gently.

Hearing Rania's reply, made her in-laws relieved and pleased. Then he grabbed a glass of warm tea at the table and drank it while saying. "Zein loves you so much Rania!! So, he wouldn't dare to hurt you. If he hurts you, just report it to mama!!" he cried while laughing and put the glass filled with warm tea back on the table. "Ah... Of course mah." Rania blushed in embarrassment.

"Are there any signs of pregnancy, Rania?" her in-laws' question was enough to shock her, and she was nervous about what to answer.

"A... I don't know mah, so far I don't feel anything different from my body." Rania bit the tip of her lower lip, then answered her nervously.

"It's okay, later also in love. Take plenty of rest, don't be too tired! If you can't, go to work!! Zein's husband is in charge, he won't abandon you!" said his father-in-law with a smile and then he saw a watch that was coiled around his wrist. Time shows at four in the afternoon. Since it was late afternoon, he decided to go home soon. Meanwhile Rania only returned a smile at her mother-in-law's words. "What's the mah?" rania asked curiously, looking at her mother-in-law who seemed to want to go home immediately when she saw the watch in her hand. "It's okay, as the day has gotten late, and again it's like it's going to rain, mama should go home soon. You're fine with Zein!". "Yes, mah" Rania answered briefly with a smile and led her mother-in-law to the front of the car.

Once her mother-in-law had returned home, Rania immediately went inside. Climbing the stairs to his room, and then laying down his body.

What did my mother-in-law think? Why ask like that? Maybe she wants to have a grandchild soon? Ah... Just be right. In her mind, Rania was trying to digest the sentence her mother-in-law had just given her. Just imagining it made him shudder.
