The Ours In Another Story

71. Anger Son-in-law Kusuma (2)

“You can read no? I resign Sir. I want to leave this school with honor. Not in this kind of humiliating way,” Lia said as she tore up the Warning Letter she had received over the past few times a month.

“It has been more than 7 years I devoted myself to this school. I always try to be a good teacher and educator who can be exemplified but you instead of giving more appreciation to me instead intend to damage my reputation because of the lure of development money? What I think you're gonna do well is apologize is you didn't. Even the message you sent me last night was no more than three lines with no regrets at all,” Lia said.

“Bu Lia, you don't misunderstand. I'm asking you to come and intend to apologize to you in person this morning. I'm sorry Mom, I'm so very sorry to have done that to Mom,” said the principal again.

“Sorry Sir, I do not accept such an insincere apology. My self-esteem is too high for you to lower. I'm the son-in-law of Jeffrey Kusuma. I am the wife of Junius Chandra, and I am the proud daughter of Mr. Susanto. I am not a woman you can control easily. Even if I wanted to I could get you off your job right now,” said Lia.

“Pak Junius...,” is now the principal trying to seek help from Junius.

“Sorry sir, my wife's decision is already unanimous. I don't want my wife to work in a bad environment. If you are sorry please make an apology letter in writing and stamped. If not don't blame me if suddenly you get a warning letter from the education office,” said Junius who then sauntered away with Lia leaving the school with pride.

Elsewhere, Monika is also doing the same. He is trying to fix his good name after being tarnished with an uncertain news he never did. He really did what he intended. He came to the publisher with only two options, advanced to the green table or cancelled his employment contract with Monika and incur losses due to the new book Monika would publish withdraw entirely.

“Mbak Monika, I do not mean that,” said the editor who has always been working on editing Monika novels.

“Don't mean how? If you don't mean this subpoena won't reach my hands. Is it good that you want to imprison me? You forgot me who?” said Monika.

“That must be my assistant. Sorry I really didn't mean.”

“Not all things can be solved with just an apology. You better just come to the court the day after to answer my demands and you also have to prepare yourself to pay compensation. I suggest you prepare it from now on. Because I won't hesitate.”

“Oh yes, all my novels will be drawn and in the future there will be no more cooperation between me with this publication.” said Monika. “Hah..., stupid also yes I, already have a brother-in-law printing owner instead choose you who do not work. I better self-publish my novels,” said Monika who blatantly insinuated.

“Oh yes wait, my royalties in the last interview have not been entered into the account. Please send it to me full without pieces. Because you held him without crosscheck first what really happened. I reiterate, this novel is a masterpiece that I made in memory of someone how there could be a similar novel. Stupid,” said Monika who immediately pulled the script and came out just like that.

Rere did the same. The difference is because he is two-bodied he is still holding back. She was not as good as her two in-laws because she did not want to teach her son bad things.

“Sorry I received...,” said Rere.

“... but you still have to give a statement and serve imprisonment according to the judge's verdict in court later. Also tell the person who has asked you to pay me 150 million in damages and pay off your debt to him,” said Rere made the perpetrator stumble.

“Why me too?”

“You're forced. You are influenced and you don't really want to do it. If you can prove if Mr. Haryo threatens you, I am sure your sentence will be suspended,” Rere said.

“Bu Reva, do not make me feel more guilty,” said the perpetrator who almost cried.

“You are wrong. Rather than you just kneeling before me hoping for forgiveness that I couldn't possibly give you better now try your best to improve yourself,” Rere said.

Since the culprit mentioned the name of someone she knew was being suspected by her husband, Rere drastically changed her strategy. He secretly asked two police officers to follow the movements of the perpetrator who would definitely meet Mr. Haryo for help. Rere asked the police for help to inform Rere and her husband later. Rere believes that this case will be able to be a weight of punishment when her husband later arrested the mastermind of all cases that occurred.

That night, Rere, Monika, and Lia conveyed what they had gotten from each of their cases and the one name they called was really able to corroborate the triple J argument tomorrow at the board of directors' hearing.

"That means we don't have to hesitate anymore" Jevan said.

"Stop it straight away, I'm sick of seeing her pretentious face" this time Junius spoke.

"Rere, Monika, Lia, can I borrow your case files? I will take it to imprison the man who has dared to play with the jewel of the Kusuma family. Trying to break up my two brothers alone is not forgiven let alone this to dare to hurt my wife and brother-in-law. There will be no mercy" said Jovan.

The words of his three sons actually made Mama and Papa feel worried. Not to worry about their children, but about the people they will fight. Mom and Dad knew what their son was like. They would still be silent if anyone harmed them but if anyone dared to harass their family. Don't expect them to calm down. It can run out of that person even down to his roots.

"Tomorrow you must be careful. Let your emotions down or it could backfire to bring you down, okay?" mama was taken by her children.

"Papa's proud of you."
