The Return of the Exempted Son-in-law
chapter 8
Ana's birthday party is trying to be a matchmaking event for Zizi, some invited guests introduce their Son to Zizi and not a single man is obtained by Zizi.
"Ma, I told you, I won't marry anyone, because I still want to wait for Mas Jo to come back." Zizi refused.
"Until you wait? until you get old! Your zizi is a smart kid who uses your brain when you love to die. Remember Jo was dead, even though his body wasn't found, but according to the police investigation, it's possible to live only five percent, what else do you expect." Ana never gave up on persuading her youngest daughter to forget the man she thought was dead.
Amidst the debate between Zizi and her mother, Leo shows up with a present for Ana.
"Happy birthday Auntie, sorry I came late, Auntie understood that I was very busy taking care of a growing business" said Leo.
"No papa son, Aunt is so glad you could come. Zizi was also waiting for you, "Anna answered while nudging Zizi's arm.
"What the hell is ma?" zizi said getting upset.
"Son Leo, this is really a gift for Auntie. You do know about aunt's taste, if this is aunty can't wait you immediately propose to Zizi aunty's son."
Leo is more happy when the green light he has got from the Zizi family, only Zizi who still does not want to accept him.
"Tante, if aunt permits, tonight Leo would like to propose to Zizi in front of everyone if Leo is really serious about Zizi" Leo replied confidently.
"Of course you can, even if you want to right now." Ana replied with a laugh.
Leo immediately pulled out a proposal ring and wanted to propose to Zizi. Jo is no longer able to see anyone else approaching his wife. Jo stepped on her feet and walked over to Zizi. Every step Jo took was in tune with her heartbeat. Jo also felt a fear within. Afraid that Zizi would reject her because she had left him all this time.
" Zizi, will you marry me?" leo asked while kneeling on one leg and holding out a diamond ring.
"Zizy." At the same time Jo appears and calls out his wife's name and destroys Leo's plans.
Everyone was shocked, seeing Jo's arrival in the midst of the invited guests. But for Zizi, Jo's arrival was a boon where her 10-month wait finally ended after seeing her husband return safely.
Zizi runs in Jo's arms, Zizi hugs her husband tightly and doesn't want to let go anymore. Likewise with Jo who also missed his wife, after 10 months he left without a trace, not intentionally but because of circumstances.
"Mas Jo, you're back. Where have you been all this time? Miss you. I believe you will come back and you will finally come back today. Don't go anymore mas, don't leave me, " said Zizi.
"I'm not leaving anymore, I'm sorry I kept you waiting." Jo rubbed Zizi's hair.
"Males are not ashamed. You abandoned my daughter and now you've come to take her again. Don't expect you to be with him again. You've left Zizi for ten months without news, which means you've cut off the marriage. You better get out of here and never show up in front of Zizi again."
"Ma, I can explain. Actually I-"
"Quite, I do not need an explanation anymore, I as the mother of Zizi do not accept you to leave Zizi just like that. If you are not able to finance Zizi you better leave Zizi well to us, so that you as a parent can find a replacement that is much better than you." said Ana who even cornered Jo and as if Jo was wrong.
Everyone whispered to each other and judged Jo as inappropriate for Zizi and they judged Jo from Ana's words.
Leo approached Jo and patted her on the shoulder.
"I guess you deliberately killed yourself because you were unable to support Zizi, because you were just hiding from reality, you were a loser who needed to be rewarded. If you still have some shame, you better get out of here right now or all the guests here will kick you out." Lego Whisper.
"I came here, because I wanted to pick up Zizi. I want to take Zizi out of the restraints of his family. You can humiliate me or pout me. You all don't know what's really going on and judge just from the other side. You can actually see the true nature of the Gibson family from the way he treated his son-in-law. They should be able to maintain the good name of his son-in-law, but this family even continues to spread the ugliness of the son-in-law only because they do not have a clear status and instead sell their children to marry rich men. Doesn't that show that the Gibson family only wants a rich daughter-in-law instead of thinking about her daughter's happiness." Reply Jo who dared to fight, the Gibson family was surprised by Jo's change had even made them embarrassed at their own event.
"Guard, hurry up and get rid of this guy. He dared to interrupt the party. If you can't throw him out, I'll sue this place." Shouted Sandi.
"Enough! What are you guys doing? Why do you keep degrading him. Jo and I love each other and we don't want to be apart. Ma, Pa. please don't embarrass Jo anymore! He came back well and wanted to explain the truth. Please give him a chance." Zizi also wishes his parents would give Jo a chance.
A few men in black clothes suddenly entered and brought some fancy gifts for Ana. All the guests step aside and give way to them when they find out that they are messengers from the WLS company that they can see from the writing on each of these gifts.
The arrival of the WLS envoys made Gibson feel very happy and it was an honor for WLS to send a gift to them.
"Ma, the real surprise is coming. Mama see, they're messengers from WLS, that means our company's chance to continue with the contract there's great hope." Gibson's whisper was very pleased. Ana as a wife was also happy and considered on her birthday a lucky day.
"Good night, Mr. Gibson and Mrs Gibson. I'm Tio's messenger from the owner of the WLS company to deliver a birthday present for Mrs Gibson and hope that Mrs Gibson will accept this gift" Tio said.
"Of course, I gladly accepted it. This is a special gift on my fiftieth birthday. Please thank Mr. J for the gift. I don't know how to repay kindness. Because indirectly helped our family quite a lot. Once again thank you." replied Ana with a face sumringah.
"Of course, madam, I will say thank you madam to you. I also want to send one more message, if Mr. J wants to propose to Miss Zizi to be made his wife, and also if the contract is almost completed can be extended again." explained Tio.
Gibson and Ana look at each other with a plan that will certainly benefit them.
