VENGEFUL SHACKLES

Better be self-aware!

Neither Paula nor Willy had expected that Joshep would suddenly stand beside them and listen to their conversation.

In this case Paula is of course the one who is most surprised by the presence of Joshep considering that he just said to Wuilly if he still loves Joshep.

"Josh, let go of my hand!" whining Paula because Joshep pulled her forcibly out of the cafe.

"Why? Still want to be alone with Willy? Didn't you just say you still love me? Shouldn't you be happy with me?" joshep.

"Josh, you misunderstood. I said all that because I was confused looking for an excuse to reject Willy's love, it was just an excuse I made up." Paula explained.

"At least by using reason to still love me, you can reject it, so in this case I can still say meritorious person, accompany me to eat!" take Joshep.

Paula can not refuse Joshep's invitation, especially what was said Joshep just now is true, her ex-husband can be said to be meritorious because telsh was made an excuse by him to reject Willy's love statement.

"Sit down!" joshep said when they reached a restaurant that was not too far from the cafe where APula and Willy had met before.

"Emhhh,, that, that, I-I'm sorry and don't think a no-no to what I said just now, it's just, just-" nervous Paula doesn't want Joshep to misunderstand.

"That's it, I know. Now you better eat first." Joshep thrust a plate of food that had just been between the stewards in front of Paula.

Not much was discussed at their meal at the time, just talking about the problem of the development of Kevin's condition, the rest they were more silent, more silent, either enjoy the food that is too good or even confused about what to talk about.

Joshep also did not mention the paula's words again, even until they separated at the end of the road where Paula lived.

"be careful, sorry I didn't drive you home" Joshep waved from his car.

Paula's steps felt very light, just having lunch with Joshep somehow made her feel very happy, so that the smile did not escape from his lips along his steps towards his rented house which was only a few meters from the highway.

But the smile that had been decorating the lips of paula was now forced to disappear when he saw a man standing at the door of his rented house while looking at him with a hostile look.

"Lord Frans?" mumbling Paula was shocked, because suddenly her former in-laws were in front of her, out of whom the old man got the info of his new residence a few days in his place.

"Promise?" paula's Beo.

"Yes, your promise to me earlier that she said she wouldn't approach my son again and helped me get Joshep engaged to Bella, but in fact I saw you eating romantically together with my son!" said Frans.

"A-anu that--- I and Joshep accidentally met, we didn't make a deal. So as for the matter of Joshep's engagement to Bella, I felt I had no right to interfere let alone force her to do that, even though I had also once advised her to do that engagement with Bella, she said, but again it's all Joshep's right, I can't impose on him." Paula said.

"You are good at reasoning. In the past, my son almost failed to become a doctor because he was reluctant to go to college far away from you, lucky you can I get rid of it quickly, now that he almost has a famous hospital, now that he has a famous hospital, he must really fail because you're back to ruining his future. Are you satisfied to see that he is now unemployed because his position has been removed after he canceled his marriage, his career is ruined now, no hospital will accept him to work, no hospital will accept him to work, mr. Mark is very angry with her." Frans said emotionally.

Paula is silent, to be honest she really does not know if Joshep turned out to cancel his engagement with Bella and has also been stopped from Permata hospital, besides he never asked Joshep personal problems, Joshep said, Joshep also never told me about it all, their relationship is now starting to improve somewhat, but their talk is all about the development of their son's condition, nothing more.

"I've filed for custody of my granddaughter. I don't want my granddaughter to live in poverty and distress with you," a man who came with Frans gave a white envelope that turned out to contain a letter of custody lawsuit filed by Frans in court.

"What's this?" nervous Paula.

"That's a courtesy letter, I'm Mr. Frans' lawyer, in the future maybe we'll meet often in court." the man in a neat and teary-eyed shirt nodded his head.

"I know, but why is it suddenly like this? Even Kevin is still unconscious at the moment. Why should it be contested? After all, she's been living with me." said Paula, she didn't expect that what she said was happening.

"Isn't that good for Kevin? If my lawsuit is cleared, then his life will be guaranteed, and his health will also get the best care, his future will be very bright under the care of our family, while you? Where you live and work don't have it, how can you take care of her later?" mocked Frans with a look that looks disgusted.

"No, no, no one can take Kevin from me, he's my son!" shouting Paula.

"But he's also my grandson, and he deserves a decent life! Don't be selfish!" show Frans.

"Madam, if you feel any objection, you can express it in court" said the man who admitted to his lawyer Frans.

"Free, you won't win against us, look who you are and who we are, it's good that you're self-conscious!!" maki Frans leaves Paula's rented house.
