THE STAIN BEHIND THE VEIL OF THE CONTRACT WIFE
Crow And Tiger

“It looks like this room is still half-finished. But, why did the secretary tell me to come here?”

Angela's eyes were wildly tracing the building. There is a sense of confusion in emotions when you realize that the secretary has been working on it.

"Bad!! How dare they play me" monologue Angela emotion.

Meanwhile, Alex, who just got out of the elevator, soon met his secretary who had told the 15th floor to Angela.

"Sindi, you did what I asked you to do, right?" ask Alex firmly.

Sindi nodded in spirit, "Yes Master, I've already told the 15th floor you ordered"

"Good" replied Alex waltzing away with a smile.

Alex smiled satisfied with his own plan. It was after he found out if Angela would be dropping off her work papers. This man told Sindi to prank him.

"Angela-Angela, I'm sorry yes.You have to go for a while so that you can catch a hat" said Alex held back a laugh and met security in front.

"Can I help you, sir?" ask security.

"You know the woman who just came by, right? Please take care of him. Don't get hurt and don't get out of this office before I give you an order" Alex said.

Security nodded, "Okay sir"

"Hm, I'm going"

"Be careful on the road sir" the security reply sincerely looked towards Alex who had gone to enter his car.

Somewhere...

Almira was in her mother-in-law's car. After meeting this morning, Vara decided to take Almira away. I don't know where but this woman looks proud without talking to Almira a word.

If so, Almira's job is to speak, "Well, where do you really want your mom to take Almira?"

"You're afraid if I throw you out, aren't you?"

"Bu-not that mah! Almira had no such thoughts at all" Almira argued, rejecting her mother-in-law's perception.

Vara smiled slantingly, "Tell me where did you hide my granddaughter?"

"Grandson?" almira said again. It was a bit strange to hear Vara refer to her son as her granddaughter.

"What do you want to do?"

Vara huffed, "Heh, your son is Alex's son and Alex's son is my grandson too. So, I have the right to see him"

Almira's restless. He was confused to tell the truth or not to Vara who was misunderstanding. However, does he have to listen to Alex's words and end up lying to her?

'Isn't that the rule of religion? The man who is married to the woman who already has children, then the child will also be his son'

Alex said it suddenly flashed through Almira's brain.

'He is right, Mr. Alex is right. Automatic Ronald is also a great-grandson Almira said in his heart.

"Hey, how are you quiet?" said Vara nudged Almira's shoulder which was immediately conscious.

"Eh yes mah. But, can Almira ask mamah for time! Not that Almira refused! At least please give time for Almira's child to consider. She was a child and it was hard to accept" Almira said asking for time.

"Is that so?"

"Yes mah" said Almira nodding.

"But, you should also introduce me to my granddaughter" said Vara throwing a lazy look at Almira.

"Yes, Almira will try to talk about this with him"

Vara accepted with a nod, "By the way what's her name?"

"Ro-ronald mah" Almira answered nervously.

"Hem, Ronald huh? It's also good that you give the name" said Vara cuek.

Almira smiled and nodded slowly, "Thank you mah"

"Okay, ma'am" replied the driver.

The confused Almira immediately asked, "Sorry mah, if Almira can know, why go to the mall?"

"Well, you shut up" said Vara judes and succeeded in keeping Almira quiet.

A few minutes later they finally arrived at the shopping center of Surabaya. A skyscraper so huge and tall.

Almira and Vara take a walk in it.

"Well, what are we doing here?" almira was confused.

Vara who heard straight away one inch away, "Shuttt, you do not call me mamah and we do not get close. I'm a little embarrassed walking with you"

It hurts a bit, but not so much because you're used to it.

"Keep Almira call mamah by what name try?" tanya Almira chose resignation.

Vara immediately thought, "Macan is not papa"

"Well, what's a tiger?" almira asked a little confused.

"The tiger symbolizes strength and continued power, the tiger stands for beautiful mama. So, just a tiger" said Vara rolled his eyes lazy.

"Yes mah eh ma-macan" said Almira choosing to nod.

Although Almira received the nickname was a bit strange for her mother-in-law. But how else. Her in-laws are just there.

"Let's a crow spout the way of a catapult anyway" ketus Vara walked ahead of Almira.

"Yes, ma-macan" Almira replied patting her own eel for almost forgetting.

After that the tiger and the crow were in the boys' supply store. The tiger kept asking the crow questions about the characteristics of his grandson.

"How old is Ronald, a crow?" ask Vara.

"Five years, tiger" Almira replied heard by the worker at the shop.

The worker could only blink both eyes confused and quietly listen. He laughed almost, but it was disrespectful.

"The boy's clothes are like five years old yes" Vara said giving orders to the worker.

"Good! What color do you want, tiger?" ask the worker to mimic the nickname Almira.

Vara, who heard that she did not accept, "Hey, don't call me a tiger! It's just for this crow"

"Eh, sorry ma'am" said the worker regretted.

Vara sighed lazily, "Yes"

"Well, by the way, what color does the lady want?" ask the worker to divert the conversation.

"Ronald likes what color?"

"Ronald likes the color red" Almira replied.

Vara scrunched her forehead, "Kok didn't follow Alex anyway? Usually the child follows his father"

Almira was silent to look at her neat teeth but free, anyway Vara will not see.

"Heh, you helped your friend to bring her a red child's outfit. And you, bring the expensive shoes that have the red color of his heart. I'll be back" Vara told the other worker.

"Well, madam" the worker replied nodding letting Vara and Almira go together.

From the clothing store. The crow and tiger entered the store full of children's toys. Almira who was looking felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Pig, you should not give too much stuff to Ronald because it can make Ronald become spoiled and at will" Almira cautiously rebuked.

"Shutt, you just shut up. I'm her rich grandmother and can give everything for my granddaughter. So, what's the problem if he's spoiled?" indifferent Vara ignored Almira's reprimand.

"Ronald must be independent and not spoiled. As a man Ronald must be educated to be an independent and hardworking man" Almira said.

Vara's getting upset, "Heh crow! I educated Alex with wealth and power. But, look at my son, he's a responsible and independent man"
