Tough girl in novel

*Episode 19

Bimo also asked his subordinates to buy Maria water. Maria refused, as there was one burden still lingering in her mind at this time.

"What burden have you not told uncle, Maria? Just tell me now! Don't keep it."

"Uncle, I'm thinking about my dinner with Arkan tonight. What if I don't come, uncle?"

"Can't, Maria. You can't help but come to that private dinner."

"Why can't you, uncle? Isn't that just dinner?"

"Mary, you know what? The Arkan family is a distinguished family. Don't stop them if we don't want to get into trouble. You know, if you don't come, then that means, you've offended them."

Finished saying, Bimo immediately got up from his seat. He walked to the window in the room.

"You know Maria, if not afraid they were offended, uncle might have replaced you with your cousin Tiara. Because uncle knows, you don't like this forced matchmaking."

Maria raised one eyebrow at the words just now. He really did not understand the way his uncle thought.

'What? He said I disagree? Ah, I mean, Maria disagrees. There is, he is too stupid. Listen to what his wife and son are saying. If what they say is true. But the thing is, what they say is a big mistake. Mary never said she didn't like this match. In fact, he was very happy.'

'The one who doesn't like this matchmaking is your son, uncle. Not Maria, ' Maria said in a very upset manner.

It felt like he hit Bimo on the head to wake the middle-aged man from the bad influence of his son and wife. But unfortunately, that was impossible for him to do. Because if he hits, all the plans he's running, will definitely fall apart.

"Mary, what are you thinking? Why are you daydreaming now?"

The question immediately made Mary who was daydreaming realized instantly. He put an unpleasant face on Bimo as a regret that he should not have felt.

"I'm sorry, uncle. I was thinking about what my uncle said. Uncle didn't have to sacrifice Tiara to run the household life with matchmaking. Poor him uncle. He doesn't deserve to suffer just because of me."

"Let's uncle. Let me do all this willingly. This marriage is for me. I won't let Tiara take over the pain that should be my life's pain."

"Mara .... "

"I love you all, uncle. You're all I've got after mom and dad left. So, I don't want anyone to suffer from you anymore. Because I think you've lived enough to suffer with me all this time."

Words that instantly struck Bimo's deepest heart. Making Bimo immediately put on an unpleasant face because of the guilt on Maria.

"Uncle, I won't get you in trouble again from now on. But ... I can't go to dinner tonight, uncle."

"Why can't you, Maria? What reason?"

"We just got robbed. I don't have any money or valuables for me to wear tonight. I can't possibly wear shabby clothes to come to dinner tonight, uncle."

"Don't worry about it, Maria. Here take!" Bimo said while offering the ATM card he just issued.

"Shop everything you need for the night, Maria. Remember that! Look gorgeous when it comes to the Arkan residence tonight."

Maria is putting on a confused face right now. He was confused by what Bimo was doing at the moment. But actually, the confusion is just a pretense. What Mary feels now is the happiness that envelops her heart as well as her thoughts.

The reason is yes indeed, the purpose of Maria came to this office to meet Bimo just to ask for money, so that she could buy what she needed in order to look beautiful when eating later. Actually, it's not because he doesn't have money. But, because of the robbery charade he was going through made him look very poor in front of his uncle now.

"Take Maria! After that, you immediately go to the mall or boutique to buy clothes. Don't waste time, because time won't wait for you. It's getting late and soon it's going to be afternoon. Then leave immediately."

"Ba-good, Uncle. Thank you very much."

Maria left the room. He smiled so happily when he was outside his uncle's room.

'Uh ... I didn't expect that uncle was really easy for me to handle. It was so easy for him to believe what I said. To the extent that, I don't need Johan to participate in the show anymore.'

'But ... I also cannot be careless. Because something easy usually has something difficult behind it. Must remain vigilant and always be careful in stepping.'

'Ah, yes, that's it. For now, focus on the same goal later tonight. Dress like what? Let me not look too menor, but not too pathetic either.'

Maria kept thinking about her next move while continuing to walk. Without reducing the level of vigilance he had of course, he immediately left the building.

There was nothing suspicious all the way to the mall they wanted to go to. But, when she wanted to get to the mall, Maria only realized that there was a car that continued to follow the brand since then.

"Johan, do you feel like we're following?" ask Mary before getting out of the car.

"She, lady. I've been sober since we were halfway there. But, I just ignore it. Because I think, while they're not doing anything, then we'll just let it go."

"Yes too. You're right, Johan. Just ignore it if it doesn't make it because of us. Mm. .. but we have to stay alert. Because I feel, it's my uncle's man to follow me."

Maria did not want to pay attention to the person, she went straight into the mall to buy

what he needs. For almost an hour and a half Maria shopped inside the mall, finally, she came out with a lot of stuff in hand.

By late afternoon, Maria was home. When he reached the entrance, he immediately greeted Tantri with an anxious face. Of course, not worried about Maria. However, anxious because Tiara his son did not come home after leaving this morning.

"Mary! Apparently you? Where have you been, huh? Not coming home all night, but right back home, you know bring a lot of groceries."
