Wife On Paper

Chapter 236

"Miss, Merra won. Merra got two trophies." The little girl prided herself as soon as she got home.

Mr. Santo and his wife, who welcomed their arrival, were happy.

"Grandmother and grandfather are great," praised the Saint who immediately embraced Merra.

"Where are you, Mom?" Ara dyed because she did not see the figure of the mother there. Usually Esther's mom is most enthusiastic about welcoming Merra home.

"Bu Esther was given permission to go to Jakarta. He said the buyers of his land in Jakarta want to meet," explained Mrs Santo.

Ara was silent for a moment. Why did her mother leave on her own without telling her. Although Jakarta is only a few hours from Bandung, but he was still worried. For several days, the mother complained about her sore leg.

"From morning, Mom?"

Madam Santo nodded in confirming.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

Esther was stunned at the station. He plans to return to Bandung this afternoon after finishing all his business here.

The land of the husband, the only thing left of all his memories in Jakarta, has been bought. It's actually hard, it's really hard to let go of everything.

My husband is buried in this city. If he really settled in bandung, it means he had to part with the husband.

The middle-aged woman recalled her good times with Damar the husband. Someone who convinced himself to move to Jakarta. Someone who loves him unconditionally, because even Esther is just a poor girl from a village in Bandung.

And one more thing, Esther could not have children because her uterus was known to have problems at that time. Until finally they decided to take the child from the orphanage from Bandung, his hometown

The middle-aged woman let out a long breath. In his hand there is a business card Adrian who from earlier only he swiveled around unclear.

As long as Ara was her adopted daughter, Esther felt she had never been able to give her the slightest happiness. Always sadness and sadness.

He was confused as to what he should do to give Ara happiness. If he tells Adrian where his wife is now, it seems free. There is still Dani, Adrian's son who never liked his adopted daughter.

If Adrian brings Ara back, it is certain that the old dilemma will be repeated, and at the very end there is no solution at all.

Esther got up, she threw herself away to buy a ticket back to Bandung. He'll meet someone with that business card. It says the address of a large company. Hopefully what he did this time will pay off. Especially for Merra, her grandson whom she loved very much.

"Good night, Mom. There's something we can help you with" asked a security guard who approached Esther. Because he saw it, the middle-aged woman seemed to be in a daze looking for something.

"Night, Sir. Is this really Adrian's office?"

"Truly ma'am. But Adrian has been home since this afternoon. Does anyone need anything else?"

"Is Mr Dani also in office in this building ?"

"Sorry who are you? Is there an appointment with him?"

Esther reviewed her smile. Of course the middle-aged woman felt that the security section of the large company suspected her.

"Here, sir," Esther showed Adrian the business card. "I have a need with him, I mean the son of Adrian sir. But I didn't know where the office was until I came here" Esther said her needs without being asked.

"Sir Dani is in office here, ma'am. Do you have an appointment with him?" ask the security guard to repeat the question. The man, who works in the security department, now holds Adrian's business card. He knows, if the boss never gives a business card carelessly, so it can be guessed if Adrian or Dani must know him.

"No, Sir." Esther. "I'm from out of town" he said later.

"Dearly enough. Mr. Dani just got home, Mom. Is there anything I need to say, maybe mom wants to send a message or something." The security guard who was initially firm and now friendly felt sorry for Esther.

"If home? Ah .. but it's not necessary sir. It's late, I'll be late to the house" Esther said.

"Whose mother's name and from where?"

"I'm Esther from Bandung. Thanks for the information. I'll just go home" said Esther.

"Good Mom, go ahead."

Esther left the large building with disappointed eyes. Because they cannot convey their intentions. He was only at odds for a few minutes, after the young man left his office.

To come to his house, the woman certainly did not want to. Time is very narrow. It was already night time, Ara must have been worried about him as well. Even he deliberately deactivated his phone, so that his adopted daughter did not ask questions. Esther needs time to think about why she must think about the reason why she got home the night before.

Esther blinked softly, sitting in the waiting room of the station that night alone. He knew, for another time his guts would not be as big as today.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"Rest. Nak. Let me wait for your mom." Bu Santo gently rubbed Ara's back standing by the living room window. His eyes did not look out from after Isha until now. Even Merra was asleep at this moment.

"Where are you, Mom? The phone can't be reached." Murat was anxious to see clearly on the beautiful face of the woman. Repeatedly he bit his lips, agitated because the clock was already pointing at the number 9 at night.

"Think of good. Maybe your mom ran out of battery, until her phone died. We parents often forget, son. Not like you guys are young." Madam Santo calmed Ara down, the elderly woman standing next to him.

"The clothes in the room are still there, aren't they, Mom?" ask Ara suddenly. Making the madam of Santo next to him frown in confusion.

"You think your mom left you? If he really wants to go, he can't be alone, son. My mom and dad were in the garden next door. He would have just left instead of coming to us and saying goodbye."

"I'm traumatized Mom. There used to be no premonition either. Mami and papi are fine as well as her attitude towards me. But I was abandoned." Ara's eyes glazed over. His chest was tight remembering the past. However, Ara feels Esther is the second best mother she has after Fatimah.

"Mom sure, no. Sit down, we wait for him over tea. He's definitely back." Ara only complied as Santo's mother guided her to sit down and then gave her a cup of almost cold tea.

Just as they were sitting, the sound of the motor stopped outside. Ara immediately stood up and peeked through the window. His heart was relieved to see his mother getting off the motor ojek online.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"Add, how are you? You haven't even called me in a long time. How's Ara doing?" The voice from across dominated the conversation that night.

Aimi, Akio's mother suddenly contacts Adrian again. So far Adrian did not not not remember the Japanese woman. Aimi also contacted several times, but Adrian seemed to ignore it. Of course he just wanted to avoid talking about Ara. Because Aimi would definitely ask his wife. His aunt was closer to Ara than he was.

"Sorry, Aunt. I have been very busy these few years. I have to teach Dani this about the company before I give her the full inheritance. Aunty with a healthy family?"

"Oh my goodness, Add. You are so busy you forget us. You're so outrageous, you two become work maniacs just like your Om. Take care of Add's health. Ara_"

-

Adrian closed the call unilaterally. Without waiting for an answer from my aunt. Really he did not know where to bring discussion again if Aimi had asked about the thing he avoided.

Meanwhile across the country, Aimi sat speechless. The unilateral disconnection of his phone call greatly disappointed him. But Aimi sensed that something else was going on in Indonesia, which was deliberately covered up by her nephew. But I don't know what. Does Aimi need to hire someone to find out?

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"Mi, tired?" asked Ara who was sitting on the edge of the bed, saw the mother who walked to and fro cleaning herself and then changed clothes.

"I'm sorry mom, yeah. A night like this just arrived at home," replied esther who was now finally sitting beside Ara, massaging her own legs.

"Mami .. Where exactly?" asked Ara doubtfully. He had indeed heard from Santo, but of course Ara wanted to hear it himself from his mother.

"Mommy's meeting with the land buyer, honey. Your father's only remaining relic" said Esther, looking down. A cloud was in his eyes. "Mami wants to stay here with you without thinking about anything in Jakarta. It's your father's left who's still tied up there besides your papi's tomb."

"why should it be sold? Let it be mami's savings,"

"Mommy's been a lot of trouble for you. The plan is, the proceeds of the sale of the land will be given to you, you can use it to add to your efforts, son." Esther clasped Ara's fingers tightly.

"No need, Mi. If you can, cancel it. Let it be for mami's savings."

"That's your papa's wish, son. Before he had not yet breathed his last. We have nothing to pass on to you. Even mami thought, we really already had nothing when we left first. Because our remaining treasures have been used to pay for your education. Mami doesn't know your daddy kept this for you." Esther's eyes are wet. Even she with her husband willingly lived as is just to defend the land, so as not to be sold.

"Mommy...." Ara hugged the mother, crying on the shoulder of a parrot beak woman

it's because of haru. He thought Esther would leave him.

"Let it be sold, yes. If you don't want to accept it you can save it for Merra. Her future responsibility is also my mother's. She's my only granddaughter."

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"Good morning, sir. Sorry." Dani stopped as he nodded in response to the greetings of the security guard at his company who seemed to have deliberately intercepted him.

"What's wrong?"

"Yesterday there was an old woman, about 50 years old looking for Master. He is from Bandung and named Miss Esther" said the security guard after being given permission to speak by Dani.

"Esther, Bandung? You know him Le?" dani asked, which was answered by Leo's head." Is it possible one of the teachers in Tunas Bangsa?"

"It's possible, sir. Let me find out first," said Leo who was answered nod by Dani. The handsome young man went to his room after saying thank you to the security department in his company.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"Pe_"

"Dani! how are you, it's hard to see you" said a beautiful girl who carried her hair, she also wore a blazer stelan with a miniskirt showing her legs.

"Check this out first, Le. After this give it to the Eagle to show Daddy." Dani only glanced at the girl who was currently blocking him. He continues his orders to the assistant and with the code of his hand, he immediately tells Leo to leave.

Dani just passed the girl. Without greeting, let alone inviting. Making the girl who was talking to him was annoyed, even looking to stomp her legs.

but the girl followed him without shame. Vina just glared at the behavior of the unknown guest Dani.

"What do you need?" dani asked unceremoniously, not even the young man would let his guest sit down.

"It's lunch hour. I invited you to my restaurant, Dan." The beautiful face was in front of Dani.

"I still have a lot of work. Please come out if it is finished," said Dani without staring at the interlocutor.

"What about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow I'm busy too!" ketus Dani's.

"When aren't you busy?" The girl ran out of ways to get Dani.

"Nothing! All my time is spent on something useful."

"So eating at my restaurant is pointless? Come on, Dan, I know you hate me for my sister's treatment of you. I even apologized for something I didn't do. Is that less?"

"We're not good friends. So stop coming to me let alone ask me to do something I don't want to." Dani made clear his rejection.

Rheina is a pretty girl Dani's junior high school sister used to be in Junior High. Who would have thought if his brother was a friend of Dani who he had beaten because he mocked him first. Of course that is the second reason, while the first is .. because she is a woman.

"I'm not giving up!" said Rheina bluffing.

"Whatever! Once again you're here, you'll be dealing with my bodyguard!" answer Dani casually.

"I'm not afraid!"

Without saying goodbye, Rheina left. He had time to cross paths with Leo who would enter the room of his master. Rheina's face was not as friendly at the beginning.

"Master is fine?" ask Leo to worry. Because he saw, Dani massaged his two temples slowly.

"Do I look bad?" The young man glanced sharply at Leo who was standing next to him.

How Dani doesn't get dizzy. He did not know Rheina at first. He never even remembered having a younger sibling right under him named Rheina. But the girl never gave up bothering him. Making him upset isn't playing.

Especially when Rheina tells proudly if she is the sister of her friend who had problems with her, the more anger rises.

Leo's throat was blocked. He was only worried because he knew the master hated the girl so much. But the question that always goes straight to the point of the problem often brings the problem & itself.

"Sorry Mister. I didn't mean that. Looks like we'll have to tell the security guards to keep an eye on anyone who wants to see you, sir."

"Just do. My mood's so bad because of her." Dani loosened her tie

He thought a brief quarrel with the girl made him so upset that it affected him.
