Tough girl in novel

*Episode 37

It felt like Maria was laughing listening to the words her uncle had just said. However, as much as possible he could bear the laughter so as not to escape. It was enough to laugh inwardly when responding to his uncle's pretty stupid attitude.

Uh, it's not his uncle's attitude that is stupid enough, but rather, the person who gave his uncle that info is arguably stupid. It can say information without thinking first.

"Why are you quiet, Maria? Don't know what to say to defend yourself? Or ... didn't expect that I'd know what your rotten attitude would be like when you're out of the house?"

"Sorry uncle. I was silent not thinking about what uncle just said. Because the words that uncle said just now were all wrong. I eat with men. But ... does uncle know who that man is?"

"Do I need to know who that man is now, Maria? After you admit all the rotten things you do outside the house of course."

"I don't want to argue with uncle for too long. Now, tell me who told my uncle that I ate with men today. I wonder who is brave enough to give me a slander."

It was then, that Ratna appeared from behind the door of Tiara's room with Tantri of course.

"Don't you say, Maria? Is all the evidence that goes into that family group not enough? You eat with men in public places. Where to hold hands again. Really you are yes. No shame in the slightest." Tantri spoke in a tone filled with ridicule also sounded so satisfied.

"Evidence? Who sent the evidence to the family group? I'd like to see right now, what kind of evidence you mean, and what kind of people who can send that evidence to our family group who belong to the closed group."

"Why did you turn out like this, Maria? I have been friends with you since childhood like I don't know you anymore. You've been very, very different. You are not my old friend Maria anymore" said Ratna with a face that looks very sad.

'Here comes the biang. I'm sure if all the problems, he's the cause. How dare he turned out, looking for me openly. I gave him a warning last night. Aggh .... '

Maria took a deep breath. Then, release slowly. He's so upset right now. Already do not want to play around anymore by continuing to serve a debate that looks more like the inner wiggling.

"Tell me what's the evidence and who's sending uncle. I want to know who's the one who doesn't have eyes so much that he can cause trouble in our family group."

"Which sender I might know. Because the person is using a disguised account that does not show photos or self-data at all. While the proof, it is a photo and your video that is with the man in one of the restaurants. What do you want to deny again after knowing all that."

"Uncle, I'll explain. First, I ate with a man I knew very well, and you guys knew him well. He is, Arkan."

Suddenly, the name was enough to make the three people who were judging Mary speechless. Truly, it could not speak, because the name made their hearts stop beating for a moment because it was too shocked.

"If yes, then I ask you to call the person directly. Tanya, do I have lunch with her, or eat with other men."

More and more do not dwell on these three people. They exchanged glances with each other while trying to find the right reason for them to tell Mary now.

"Please call Arkan, uncle! By contacting him, then we'll know what I really am."

"Come, Pa! Call Arkan right now. If Maria lied, then she would know the consequences. Immediately give him a heavy punishment so that he is aware," said Tantri felt challenged.

Because his heart was quite certain of what his eyes saw. For him, Arkan would not likely hold Maria's hand as the men in the vidio did in their family group.

"Can. If I'm guilty, then I'm ready to accept punishment. But if I am not proven guilty, then I want the person who has slandered me to be punished with severe punishment. No matter who he is. We must keep punishing her" Maria said, glancing at Ratna and Tantri simultaneously.

The faces of the two suddenly changed. It was as if someone was being frightened by the threat that Maria had just said.

"Come uncle! Call Arkan right now!"

"Ee .. shouldn't bother Arkan when it's time to come home from work like this, uncle. After all, it's a family matter, shouldn't drag outsiders into this matter, should it? Yes, if Maria eats with her. If not? There is great danger for all of us. Especially Mary." Ratna spoke in a convincing tone.

Then he walked over to Maria. Ratna immediately touched Maria's shoulder softly after she was right in front of Maria.

"Maria .. I know that you don't want to marry Arkan. But this is not the way. If you call him, and he knows what's going on with you, then automatically, he'll be mad at you, right? She ...."

"Enough! No one can talk to Arkan about this. For you Maria, I don't want you to wander around anymore. Until your marriage to Arkan is done. And also ... as a punishment for what you did today, you will sleep in the maid's room for one week. Youunderstand?"

The decision Bimo had just made Ratna and Tantri smile in secret satisfaction. But, Maria can still see clearly the smile even though they do not really show the smile.

'Don't be happy with you guys. I haven't lost. In fact, I won't lose. You must know it well so that you do not get hurt later.' Maria spoke in her heart while taking something out of her hand.
