GIRL IN RED
CHAPTER 23. THE ARRIVAL OF THE EMIR
Yadid pointed his finger at Arimbi's face and said, “He doesn't like you but you insist on staying; and makes him even more angry. I didn't know you were Arimbi's stupid woman! Where's brains? Why don't you think about your family's fate before you act? Do you want Rafaldi Group bankrupt, he?”
“Dad don't upset Arimbi anymore, he grew up in the countryside and doesn't understand the severity of the consequences of his actions.” Amanda pulled her father's arm. He sounds like he is trying to help Arimbi but at the same time he humbles Arimbi.
“I don't need your attention that's a holy-ass Amanda! What if I grew up in the countryside? Does that embarrass you?” reply Arimbi scorned.
A plaaakkk! Yadid slapped Arimbi's cheek again. Now both of her cheeks are swollen and red. “You're Arimbi! Hurry up and get me a stick, Amanda? I have to punish him by way of the Rafaldi family. I will teach my daughter a lesson because her nanny has failed to educate her!”
The way the Rafaldi family punishes someone is using a spiked stick. They would know how painful it was after being hit with that specially made stick.
“Dad!” amanda's protest pretended sympathy for Arimbi's circumstances.
“I told you to take that stick!” his yell. Amanda had no choice but to fulfill her father's request. He took the stick and gave it to his father.
“Dad, Arimbi is still immature we have to teach him more patience. He was already twenty-four years old now, how would he face people if he was punished with this stick?” said Amanda is still trying to act as a kind and caring princess.
Yadid picked up the stick preparing to hit Arimbi but suddenly a servant ran in while screaming in fear.
“D-he's here Sir! He came....” said the waiter interjected.
Amanda was so upset by the waiter's arrival that Arimbi was not hit with the stick. He gritted his jaw and both of his hands clenched in anger.
“Who came?” ask Amanda.
The waiter pointed a finger at the front of the door and spoke with a stutter, “T—t--Master Emir…...Mr. E...E….Emir here.”
Yadid's wand fell to the floor, surprised to hear the Emir's arrival.
“Mr Emir here is sure to make trouble, father.” Amanda provokes while bending over to pick up the stick.
He stared intently at Arimbi, “Look at Arimbi, you ignored my words and continued to disturb Mr. Emir. Now he's here to punish us. If he destroys the Rafaldi family, it's because of you!” amanda shouted with anger at Arimbi.
“Arimbi's key in his room! Let father meet Mr Emir!” Yadid immediately made a decision, he wanted his son locked in the upper room because he did not want Arimbi to disturb the Emir.
She rushes out of the house while Amanda pulls Arimbi's arm and forces him up but Arimbi brushes off her hand.
“I can walk alone!” Arimbi sneered as she brushed Amanda's hand away.
This incident made Arimbi realize that the only person who cares about him is his mother. Whatever Amanda told him in the past life must have been a lie. Judging by how biased Yadid is towards Amanda, he cannot give up everything for Arimbi. Arimbi walks past Amanda and walks up the stairs while Amanda quickly catches up with her.
Although Amanda was afraid of the Emir, she still wanted to maintain her tough but gentle self-image in front of the Emir. At that time he actually wanted to hide but he did not dwell when he saw the bodyguards pushing Emir's wheelchair into the house. Amanda turned her gaze left and right before coming up with an idea.
Finally he held a stick and stood in front of the sofa. As soon as the eater; bringing the Emir closer, he beamed directly to say hello, “Happy day Mr. Emir.”
The man turned his head to talk to Yadid, “Your daughter's voice is terrible Director Rafaldi! I've never heard a voice so bad!”
Amanda was silent at the place hearing the Emir's words. She is a beautiful woman and being assertive, she is difficult to approach while working. Every time he spoke softly then all the men's faces would be flushed. They would all look into her eyes with a quiver even Reza always felt her entrails would melt whenever she heard Amanda's voice. How dare the Emir say that his voice is terrible and ugly? Amanda's reddened face held back anger over the Emir's innuendo.
“He usually does not, Mr. Emir.” Yadid immediately stepped forward to explain on behalf of his daughter. “Lately she's been playing theater plays so she sometimes talks like her character. Don't get bothered by it, Mr.” The Emir pursed his lips without saying a word. She doesn't like Amanda very much. He hated Amanda who spoke in a pretentious tone in front of him.
“Please sit Mr. Emir.” Yadid beamed and walked to the Emir's aid but the Emir's bodyguard immediately gave him a sharp glare which made Yadid refrain from approaching.
“I've sat!” replied Emir flat.
The Emir's tone sounded very unfriendly making Yadid shudder in horror and fear.
“Not so mean, Mr. Emur.” he said trying to calm down.
Then the Emir glanced at the stick in Amanda's hand, “What is it?”
“That's the stick, Mr. Emir. That's how we at the Rafaldi Family punish the people.” Yadid replied with a faint smile.
The Emir looked at Amanda's swollen face before looking back at Yadid. Although Yadid is an older man but he is very afraid of the Emir.
He did not even dare to look into the Emir's eyes, instead Yadid simply lowered his head in embarrassment. While Amanda still stood quietly holding the staff proudly, it was as if she was a judge who would uphold justice!
“It looks like I came at an inopportune time!” said Emir. “Do you punish Amanda, Director Rafaldi?”
“No! I am punishing Arimbi. Because Arimbi has upset you, Mr. Emir! So before...” Yadid had not finished speaking yet but the Emir cut him off immediately.
“Where's Arimbi?” the Emir asked with a very firm expression and looked angry as he picked up the stick and noticed there were spikes on the stick.
He could imagine how painful it would be if someone used this to hit the woman. ‘Bigger! How dare they hit my woman! Only I can punish him!’ it's in the heart.
“Mr Emir….Arimbi…..Arimbi is...” Amanda was surprised by the Emir's facial expression and she did not know how to answer his question. It was Yadid who finally answered the Emir's question.
