The Love That Remains

threat dinner

after the surprise pick-up, Malika got off the luxury car that was brought by Ben, she had arrived at a big house, a luxury house with a classic style in a modern nuance, modern,there was a little acceptance in the eyes of the malika as she clearly saw how big and luxurious the house was, really was such a big house only inhabited by grandfather alone?malika used to not pay attention to the mailed this house when she first entered this palace to be betrothed, but now it's like entering into a fairy tale country, is this really a house? grandpa's taste is true2 is not normal human taste, saint and itteriorly very inhumane, maybe this can be said with god's taste.

"please enter miss, the chairman may have been waiting for you." ben opened the door, Malika was a little hesitant when stepping, she turned to Ben who was still holding the door.

"secretary ben, what should I tell Grandpa later?is he going to scold me again?".malika remembers speaking on the phone with grandpa, she was like on plototti and was angered by her own grandfather.

"miss does not need to say what2, just listen to what he says and answer the questions asked, the chairman will be more pleased if the lady complies enough with him."

"but secretary ben, is darwin benar2 not coming?

"he will come to pick you up, miss." said 2 ben, bracing the malika to step in, with trembling legs, the malika carried by a servant who greeted her as she entered the front room,he was taken to the dining room, where there was a long dining table with a big chair2, Malika was a little surprised when nana who was there since when, when,he lowered his head to welcome the malika a little awkward malika with a very polite nana treatment, then another waiter pulled a chair right at the end near him stood up, malika sat politely, malika,many servants who arrived2 entered the room carrying dishes tonight, nana just standing near the empty seat at the end there, which is believed to be the place where the powerful grandfather will sit there,so this is how it feels to sit waiting for people we do not want to meet, Malika is very anxious.

5 minutes later, the figure in waiting came down each stairway in the style of a thread with a sturdy handle, the handle,the grandfather who was actually not too expected to meet and face to face by the malika is now looking at him with a smile in line with his lips, of course the smile can be interpreted what, it can be interpreted,it could be a welcome malika who has been deigned to come or indeed that smile that mocking look at you now malika, you can even have dinner with a very busy person like me, so think malika.

grandfather did not say much, he was known as a cold and very authoritative man2, a dark aura immediately absorbed the entire room at this dining table, he said,malika did not dare to move so scared if seen by the sharp eyes.

"leave us both, no one comes before I'm done at this dinner table." the heavy but jarring voice seemed to throw malika's chest, not yet what2 her body trembled very clearly,nana left the room after making sure everything was ready at the dinner table, she slightly glanced at her nonaanya who could read her eyes if the girl was scared, but nana could not do what2, nana,he knew his master didn't like to be disturbed if he was serious about talking.

"when are you going to get pregnant?" the gripping voice slashed the ears of Malika who had not moved since, she only dared to bow and glanced at grandfather with the corner of her eyes,it appears that grandfather only spoke while cutting meat on his dinner plate with a knife and fork in his hand, the glek, the malika swallowing his saliva drowned nervous and afraid in his body but sia2, sia2,from his hand that grasped the knife and fork was still left shaking that he was difficult to hide.

"ak.i don't know yet."malika replied with terbata2.

"malika, did you take the contraceptive pill?."

plaque, malika as if slapped right on his face, really, grandfather is indeed a person who does not like to talk stale when it comes to blood relationships, it makes the malika more limp because it is caught red-handed, it makes her feel bad,he silenced himself not daring to answer or look at the face of the grandfather at the end there, there was a sigh of annoyance that sounded very tearing of the heart, color silence means the answer yes to grandfather.

"so you're the one who delayed it?turns out you're brave enough, malika, I was surprised to realize you're not as easy as I imagined, controlling you as bait for darwin turned out to be unfavorable to me, you'd rather betray me and choose to be as thoughtful as darwin?where do you think your marriage ends without having offspring?I can destroy everything malika, including your mother and stepbrother, if I don't get what I want, then you won't get what2 either."

malika clenched her sweaty hands, she breathed in fear, while pias on her face when her mother and stepbrother were mentioned, even though they were not real family but Malika was very fond of her current mother,and if they know he's the one who opposes grandfather's wishes, mom would hate him, however much mom would defend bang arya rather than her, he said,imagining her mother being alone without being able to speak malika was very sad and almost crying if it happened.

"grandfather.I beg you to give us time, I will try to talk to Darwin for our plan to have children, however he will be a father who will be responsible for his son later."

with a trembling voice of malika holding back the fear and her tears that were about to fall, grandfather simply pulled a line of sinister smiles on his lips.

"heuh, that child is not a compromise malika, that has become the goal of your marriage, if you do not want to have children then I will force darwin again to do it and get it to other women, he said,you think I'm not up to it?".

"do you know what Darwin's real heart is?did you know that he had been suffering and disappointed all this time?why didn't Grandpa try to bring Grandpa closer to her?she also suffered so much, I just wanted to appreciate her every effort and respect her decision." Malika ventured again to answer her grandfather who now looked at her sharply.

"are you chasing me malika?how dare you ask me about my granddaughter's feelings?you think I'd do this to her if our relationship was good2? I just told you to marry my offspring and give blood to my family so I can make up for everything, if I die I will meet my wife and my son with a feeling of innocence,but Darwin wanted to cut off my blood only because of his hatred for me in the past, no matter what, I wouldn't let him get away from me, if he didn't want my surname,I'll make his son my successor."

"but cake.i...".

"i can destroy it, do you want to see it?." those eyes pierced sharply into the bead of malika's eyes, it appears that grandfather did not play2 with his kata2.

darius, the old man's name alone has been very intimidating the existence of malika at the silent dining table, I know how much malika now loves darwin very much,without realizing it, the stupid girl would be their weakness if she could hold the malika feeling to control darwin, so...a threat would very easily tie back the chain of obedience so that Malika again felt afraid and became obedient again to the lord darius.

"malika...wouldn't you like to beg me?."cold and sharp, my grandfather looked at the malika lekat2. "would I destroy the darwin company, for me it is very easy because the company is still very small and fragile,you know I can be even more ruthless by imprisoning your brother who lives like that animal and then closing your mother's fish shop, with its limitations I'm sure he won't be able to do any work,then he could be the street bum you'd imagine right now."

malika holds her chest, her tears have fallen slightly on her cheeks, hearing grandfather's plan alone has made her heart break to pieces2, she said,in his head was imagined darwin who was devastated by depression because of his achievements that he achieved from zero to 2 will be destroyed just like that by his own grandfather, darwin would be very sad and life full of revenge again,then the mother and bang arya, no, malika could not see the mother who had suffered so much was given suffering again by him, now malika was silent, now she was silent, looking at grandfather full of hate but also fear because given how powerful grandfather is today, what he talks about is not nonsense, even though darwin is his legitimate grandson, if grandfather has spoken, what he is talking about is not nonsense,then the blood flowing from Darwin's body will become water for him.

"i don't take it by force, you're the one who'll look after me." a line of evil smirk smiles flashed on the old lips with those wrinkled lines, the malika frowned questioningly.

"what does grandpa mean?".

"after you're pregnant, there's no need to tell darwin, the color he's not expecting a child in his life either."

"but he will know, the belly of a pregnant person will be visible as the months change."

"then leave her before your belly grows, no, you'll have to disappear in front of her as soon as you know that if you're pregnant, I'll arrange it later, so, I'm the only one you'll tell about your pregnancy,keep it a secret from your stupid husband."

malika released the knife and fork that was still in her hand, when her body was limp as if without bones, how right she was talking to humans instead of demons, how easily a grandfather tortured his granddaughter so cruelly, he said,malika is nervous, scared and pias can not say2 anymore.

"are you going to separate me and Darwin?even you separated us from our son, isn't that too cruel, why don't you just kill us so you don't have to bother2 torturing us again."

"do you never know that I would rather torture than kill, I would feel very satisfied if my target suffered."

"i beg you not to hurt Darwin again, and please let go of my mother and stepbrother, let them live quietly."

malika looked down deeply, the grinning smile of the grandfather expands, back the old grandfather continued his eating activities that he had stopped for a while, turns out his guess is right, now the malika is weak if threatened by the name of her husband, the father of the family,it turns out that love grew between them according to the grandfather's estimation.

"i assume you agree with my plan."the older brother smiled more cynical and evil, his hands were busy cutting meat and his mouth was busy chewing.

"eat.after that you can go with him."

**connect.....

epilog**

"say, are you threatening?". nana barged into the room of her master who was now half-lying in his bed, the old man was reading a book in his hand, and his anger made him smile softly, in his eyes,nana still looks funny when she's scolding him.

"did I look cool?" he said as he placed his book beside his sleeping tempt on the nightstand.

"you're a righteous 2 wicked old man, you make his wife cry and her husband flutter like crazy."

"nana...would you help me if I asked for your help?

nana approached, she sat down by the old man's bedside, looking at him with the pity and warm feeling that had always been there for him.

"that's the color I'm here, don't think what2, if you have trouble calling me whenever you want."

"you've always been good nana, you should always be stupid about choosing men2 long ago."

mr. Darius chuckles little, nana put the face of his judes made2, he knows the old grandfather is insinuating him about his past that is always dark about the man2 who came in his life.

that night, the two old friends chatted late, sometimes nana hit small and sometimes mister Darius laughed off his fatigue today, whatever relationship was drawn to them, he said,only God knows the deepest meaning of each of their babble that contains the warmth of a friend in the twilight.
