Trapped Pesona Girl Village

Ch.22

Throughout breakfast, Ivanka's eyes did not escape watching Hanindita's movements. Even the village girl, but Hanindita knows how to carry herself in front of others. Although a little stiff, at least he understood a little about the ethics of eating or better known as table manner. Maybe with a little guidance, Hanindita can be more relaxed and mastered about it.

Hanindita, who realized that she was being watched by Ivanka, could only look down. Not only him, but Berryl and Abelano also realized it. Berryl occasionally rubbed the back of Hanindita's hand and whispered soothing words so that his wife was not too awkward.

Hanindita smiled gently in return for Berryl's treatment. When he was about to start eating, he also served Berryl by helping him turn the dishes around, filling the rice, and offering side dishes. Something Abelano has seen very rarely and it makes him happy. She occasionally glanced at Ivanka to be willing to slightly imitate how Hanindita served her husband. As she recalled, the last time Ivanka did this was only the beginning of their marriage. He hopes, Hanindita is not like his wife who is more concerned about his career so it makes him focus more on career than family. Yes, Ivanka has a boutique that is famous enough to make her often too busy with her career as a designer and owner of boutiques.

Breakfast is over. Due to habit, Hanindita immediately cleaned the dishes and was about to take them to the sink to wash but a burly hand stopped her movement.

"Where are you going?" berryl asked as he led Hanindita's hand to put the dirty dishes back on the table. Abelano smiled and patted his son slowly.

"You put dirty dishes in the sink and keep washing." said Hanindita plain. Just contact it makes Bu lara quickly take over what Hanindita wants to do.

"Don't miss! That's our job. We still want to work here. Don't take over our jobs!" said Bu Lara interrupting.

Berryl stared flat at Bu Lara and gave a code to continue his work.

"Sweetie, you came to this house as a daughter-in-law, not a maid. Remember that!" berryl's assertiveness made Hanindita frown.

"But I just want to help, sir. I don't have a problem."

"Master?" said Berryl with a frown. "I'm your husband if you forget. So from now on I want you to call me, hubby. Not mister. Do I always have to remind you that you're the daughter-in-law of this house, not the maid?" berryl's assertiveness made Hanindita bow. "Remember in your pretty brain that you're my wife and I'm your husband."

"Sorry!" hanindita's great-grandson made Berryl realize that he was too hard on his wife.

Berryl let out a long sigh then scratched the base of his pointed nose. He felt guilty for making his wife afraid of his tough attitude.

Then without a word, Berryl pulled Hanindita into his arms and rubbed her back.

...***...

Berryl and Abelano have gone from their mansion to the company. After Berryl and Abelano's death, Ivanka called Hanindita to meet her in her study. There are a lot of things he needs to talk about with his daughter-in-law.

"Good morning, madam." said Hanindita stammered. He still did not know what to call his mother-in-law.

"Good morning. Please sit!" ivanka. According to her, Hanindita immediately sat in the chair that Ivanka appointed.

"I don't like pleasantries. Let's get straight to the main topic. Hanindita, um I just call Anin to follow Berryl. Oh yes Anin, you know that, in any case, you are not really worthy of my son." Ivanka said making Hanindita lower her face. Yeah, he realized that. He was certainly not comparable to the young master of the family. In any case, he really felt inappropriate. Even he felt this was like a dream in broad daylight. "But, as a mother, you still respect my son's decision. Moreover, all this time he has never had an interest in the opposite sex and you are the first girl to interest him. But of course, for me it's not enough. Therefore, from now on, you'll be the one I'm kebleng to be the girl who deserves Berryl more. I hope you can change yourself for the better. That's if you want to stay by Berryl's side for the future. But if you can't stand it, I can help you break away. So how? You want to study or you want to back off?" ivanka said with an indecipherable look.

"How is it?" ask Hanindita quickly.

"The way is to follow all my orders. But, if you feel unable or failed, I hope you will break away from Berryl. You must realize, you are like heaven and earth, very opposite."

Hanindita. He tried to digest every word that came out of Ivanka's lips. It was true what he said, but should he give up before the match?

Nnnnope. This might be a rare chance for him to get someone willing to accept him for who he is. Could such an opportunity come back? Getting a good husband, rich, handsome, perfect package from a man. Even in a dream he never imagined he would marry a man as perfect as Berryl.

"I'm not going to back down, madam. I will fight, not only for me to be a real wife to Berryl, but also for your daughter-in-law you can be proud of." Hanindita said confidently. Ivanka smiled faintly while sneering. The girl was able to think. He must test it first. Then Ivanka pulled out a thick book. It was a detailed list of the family's household finances. For such a large house with many members, of course they must have a special book to record financial management details. Not only the details of the cost of meals, but also the cost of electricity, water, employee salaries, and other household expenses details. Relaxedly, Ivanka handed over the book and asked Hanindita to calculate the details of last month's expenses that she had not been able to count. He wanted to see the extent of his son-in-law's thinking ability so that he knew what next step he had to take to make it more feasible.

Not that Ivanka is arrogant or pretentious, of course it's for Hanindita herself. He is not a family son-in-law. Of course, he did not want anyone to fool him, let alone demean Hanindita in the future just because of his identity and educational background. Even if it was only a village girl, she hoped that Hanindita would not only be a woman who could usually hide behind Berryl, but also be able to become a strong figure in the future.
