The sound of shoes clashing with the floor becomes a tense rhythm.
Jo stepped into the building with the guards.
Everyone was shocked by the familiar face. But they are not so sure because of the appearance is so different.
The Gibson family were all dumbfounded to see who was before him.
Jo stopped her steps right in front of all the invited guests. Soon Tio bowed in respect.
"Welcome Mr. J." Sapa Tio made everyone dumbfounded and immediately whispered to each other.
Gibson immediately rounded his eyes. He could not believe what he saw in front of him.
"Bu-isn't he-" said Gibson stammered.
"Yes, yeah, he's a man who's constantly despised by the Gibson family and tonight the Gibson family indirectly announced to the general public that it's throwing away a son-in-law who's much richer than both of your daughters-in-law be proud." Obviously Tio made Gibson really embarrassed and sorry.
While Jo is still silent, still want to see the reaction that will be shown Gibson.
Cold sweat suddenly soaked the shirt Gibson was wearing. A pale face was clearly visible on Ana's face. They were completely in confusion at the moment, having already wasted a daughter-in-law who had a high status whereas they used to demean the status of her daughter-in-law who was only hitchhiking in their family.
By enduring the embarrassment and not wanting his company's cooperation to be decided that would bankrupt them. Gibson approached Jo
Gibson wanted to pat him on the shoulder but he paused and he instead put his palms together to apologize.
But Ana immediately lowered her husband's hand not to humble herself in front of Jo.
"Pa, why would papa humble himself to her? If indeed he still wants to be with Zizi, he should be the one who apologizes for deceiving all of us by pretending to be poor. If he had been honest from the start, things wouldn't have been like this, and he would have been treated like Gibson's son-in-law." Saut Ana and again Jo just grinned.
Suddenly Zizi runs away when she realizes the man who is now arguing among the guests is her husband. Zizi ran over and hugged Jo
"Mas Jo is back."Zizi hugged tightly.
Jo replies to Zizi's embrace and whispers, "I told you I'd come back to pick you up. Don't ask me anything now and don't stop me from teaching your parents a little lesson." Jo immediately takes off Zizi's embrace and asks Zizi to stand next to her.
"Zizi, I want to ask you. If you were given two options, which would be to follow your husband or stay with your parents, which would you choose?" ask Jo.
"I love both my parents. But when I decided to accept Jo mas as my husband regardless of status, who loved me more than they loved me. I'm sure with Jo mas I can get happiness in the household."
"So?!"
"I'll choose my husband." Zizi replied firmly making Ana as a mother surprised to know her daughter prefers her Husband rather than her who has given birth and raised him.
"Based on a disobedient child yes you. Not appreciating all your efforts to raise and fight for you." cried Ana full of disappointment to her daughter.
"Quite ma, I'm tired of obeying all the will of my mother that I don't want at all. Now Jo's back and I'll make up for all the regrets I've had for ten months. I love Jo and I want to live with her. I don't want to lose Mas Jo anymore because I love him so much." Zizi.
"Mama Ana or Lady Ana, you heard Zizi's answer, it wasn't my compulsion and I married Zizi in the first place. Mama also never gave me a chance to tell my true identity, and she just looked down on me who was testing Zizi's love. But on the contrary, our marriage was tested by the Gibson family's arrogance towards me. I kept quiet and relented because I didn't want to hurt Zizi's feelings until I chose to fight back. All the sacrifices I made were in vain. When someone wants to get rid of me and wants to get rid of me. Even taking advantage of the effort I put in and admitting it was his effort when I disappeared and all of them were constantly humbling me. Remember well I will repay you all, just wait for the right time and for the contract with Gibson company, I guess after the contract expires there is no need to continue." Obviously Jo made all those who felt doing it her face became tense not even daring to look at Jo again.
Jo, who had now revealed her true identity, approached Zizi again and extended her hand, "Darling, will you come home with me. I've prepared a small palace for our little family" said Jo and Zizi immediately greeted Jo's hand and nodded his head.
Finally Jo kept his promise, picked up Zizi and took her away. Every step Jo accompanied by the guards and immediately left the Cempaka building.
Inside Gibson could not say anything more, because soon the company and its finances would be destroyed.
