“How's Arimbi? Tasty cooking your mother-in-law?” alarik asked his son-in-law who was eating food made by Rania. Arimbi nodded as his mouth was full of food.
While Rania put on a pouting face. Today she was thoroughly tortured by her husband and mother-in-law as well as her daughter-in-law. She had already cooked two types of food but Layla Serkan instead protested and asked her to add a few more menus.
Rania who has not been in the kitchen for a long time was tired of preparing food for her daughter-in-law. Staring at Arimbi's smiling face while enjoying her food made Rania snort angrily.
‘Nake once he eats! I cooked it all for hours! Issss.....why the other day I did not go abroad alone? No one will ask me to come home if I am abroad.’
“Bu, thank you for the food. Everything is delicious, I love it!” arimbi smiled. All the food was gone until it was finished.
“Already....already! Don't bother Arimbi. Rania will cook anything you like, isn't she my wife?” said Alarik glanced at Rania who could only faintly smile and nod. She recalled her husband's threat that if she did not comply, she would be divorced.
“How are your wedding party preparations?” alarik asked looking at his son.
“Everything is prepared, just waiting for the H day. Next week the wedding dress designer will be coming. We want fitting the dress next week.” said Emir. He looked at Arimbi and glanced at his wife's stomach.
“Good it! Soon the wedding party should be held, because everyone already knows about your status. This is a good time anyway! Lavani's family is busy with their affairs, will not interfere with your wedding party.” replied Alarik.
“Calm dad. The family will never be able to interfere again. At the moment they are busy dealing with so many problems that hit his company.” said Emir with a faint smile.
“You mean? Is their company having problems?” alarik asked in disbelief because the Lavani family company had stood firm and had never been involved in any problems.
But just now the Emir said that the company was being hit by problems in a row? It feels very strange and suspicious, actually since long time ago Alarik signals something is wrong with the Lavani family-owned company which in just a short time can stand strong and unwavering. Only Serkan Group alone that they cannot match because of the expertise of leaders of Serkan Group so far.
“Do you know, what business have they been in for years to get fresh funds? If Lavani's family is in business and not involved in dirty games, what father thinks they can be that strong in just a short time?”
“Actually since a long time ago I feel suspicious so I am always careful if I accept an offer of cooperation with them. It feels like something is not right but dad never found any evidence of violations.” Alarik said looking at Emir seriously.
“I've found a lot of evidence of their violations and illegal business they've been doing all this time. As clever as a criminal will always leave a trail! So do they, there must be something they forget that can be used as evidence. I've easily even collected all the evidence of their illegal business.”
“Emir, leave it to the authorities. Our family does not need to handle such a thing.”
“Can't be dad. Do you know how many times they've wanted to frame Arimbi to get rid of him? Never be softer with people like Lavani's family! They dare to be cruel to others, then they must also be ready for the same treatment.”
“Remember, Arimbi is pregnant! His safety is the most important now. Don't get involved in any trouble with Lavani's family! Like I said earlier, just leave all the evidence to the authorities and let those who finish it.” Alarik again gave his advice.
“I will not hand this matter over to the authorities! Dad knows that the agency is unbelievable! They can be paid with money and all problems are solved. I will not intervene in this, but there are others who have done it without my involvement.” replied the Emir looking at his father with a smile.
Arimbi is currently pregnant, and Alarik does not want if something bad happens to his daughter-in-law and future grandchildren. After talking for a while, Alarik and Rania left the place and returned home.

“Adrian! I beg you son! Please pick up your sister! Poor him, Adrian! She is pregnant and very depressed at the moment, being in town alone.”
“Bu! He knows what he's doing and I'm pretty sure he's okay there! Come on, ma'am, don't think too much. Amanda just never thought about the feelings of this mother and family.”
Pratiwi was speechless to hear his son's words, but as a mother, she did not want her child to be harmed. Amanda is her real daughter. She is currently pregnant and has a lot of problems. Pratiwi went inside the house, changed clothes and took his bag and left the house.
“Bu! Where are you going?” adrian asked when he saw his mother who was neat and was about to leave.
“I'm going to the city to pick up Amanda and bring her home.” Pratiwi replied.
“Do not ma'am! Just wait at home, if he wants to go home he will definitely go home. Where is he going now? Only this house is the only place.” Adrian said again.
But Pratiwi did not waver, he still stepped then suddenly his arm in tight grip. “Bu, listen to me. I'd better wait at home, let me pick up Amanda. I understand the city better than Mom. Did you forget about that time when you went to town to see Amanda?”
“Good Adrian! Most importantly, you're going to pick up Amanda and bring her home. Only we can protect her family! Mother does not want him to do bad things to himself and his womb because he feels depressed.” said Pratiwi who looks very anxious.
“Alright mom. Enter first. I will go to the city now.” Adrian said then brought his mother back into the house. Then he got ready to go to the city, and fortunately he was still able to get the last bus to the city because all the buses had already departed to deliver chartered passengers.
Dreeetttt dreeetttt dreeetttt
“Halo...who is this?” a woman's voice came from across the phone after several attempts to contact her. The sound of a crowd from across the phone made Adrian frown.
“It's me, Adrian!” replied Adrian.
“What do you call me?” ask Amanda in a cold voice.
“Where are you now? I'm on my way to town to pick you up.”
“No need! I'm fine!” reply Amanda still with a cold voice.
“Amanda, mom and dad are worried about you. Come home, we are your family and right now you need peace and so does your mother. I've been worried about you since yesterday.”
“Just tell mom I'm okay. I don't want to go home yet.”
“Then, where are you going?” adrian asked again to be impatient.
“There's important business that I have to finish. Don't bother me and just tell dad and mom not to worry about me. I'm not a kid who doesn't know how to take care of myself.”
