A Cup of Black Coffee
Chapter 70

In the Hulya residence, there was a great chaos as it seemed like all problems were reaching their goal, which was to destroy their arrogance and greed.

Huma could only sit pensively facing his extended family who finally knew and chose to immediately intervene to face the crisis of their school problems.

"I didn't think it turned out you were this slick Afdal. I told my brother I wasn't sure about you and now it's proven right?!" sniped one of Huma's uncles.

"Why are you quiet, Huma? Are you going to embarrass us, huh?! We let you use our big name foundation to build your own school but what is the result? Because of your mistake, the name of the foundation became bad!" maki Huma's other father's brother.

Huma can only look down, as a lying wife it feels like she does not know the cheating husband.

But what he can do when, Afdhal explained that it is the guardians who make donations just like other donors.

Moreover, she still bore her own heart for the betrayal of her husband that had been entwined for quite a long time.

The tension in their home stopped when the voice of a woman carrying a baby approached them.

"Abi" said Saeba, carrying her four-month-old son.

Huma's anger rose to the crown because he felt Saeba did not have the courtesy to enter his house just like that when his extended family was gathering.

"Please Saeba Bi, Saeba is afraid, Saeba is kicked out of the contract" Saeba said, crying.

The confused Afdhal still accepted his son and grandson. He patted Saeba's shoulder which seemed to be shaking in fear.

He himself did not know what problems made the children of his affair suddenly come there.

"Who else is this Afdal?" asked the in-law with sharp squinting eyes.

"You,” show Huma's mother to Saeba. “ explain who you are? Why are you calling my son-in-law Abi?" huma's mother asked Saeba.

Saeba only realized that her father's family was receiving guests that she herself did not know.

"Sorry Umi, he is my protege. I'd better bring him to calm down first" said Huma forced to help Saeba.

He did not want if his family's secret that was just a rumor out there was answered at this time.

"Stop!" prevent Umi Huma. He remembered the face of Saeba who had appeared in the Online news.

At first they did not believe it because Huma and Afdhal never explained, but now everything is open. He couldn't just believe the truth in front of him.

"What's your name?" ask Khalilah, umi Huma.

Saeba glanced at her stepmother timidly, she also grew more panicked when her son who had been so thirsty since then, cried so hard.

"Umi, please let her give milk to her child," said Huma who was still trying to prevent the mother's intentions.

"Is she breast milk or formula milk?" ask Khalilah who refuses to let Saeba go.

"Umi's formula, '" Saeba replied nervously.

"Asih please make milk for this child,” he told the worker at the princess' house. “You stay here," he asked sharply at Saeba.

Afdhal and Huma were trembling, their lives would end if Khalilah knew the truth.

"You Saeba?" khalilah asked in a soft voice but sounded intimidating to Saeba.

"I-iya Umi," Saeba replied timidly.

"So you're the son of Afdhal from his affair?" cecar Khalilah's.

Saeba lowered her head, her heart feeling humiliated when this middle-aged woman before her asked her status. Even though the words of Khalilah are still polite.

But the question of his status made him feel humbled.

Saeba only dared to nod without answering. Khalilah who saw him gave a rough sigh.

Afdal sat down, collapsed everything, his mind screamed. Suppose Saeba answers all the truths he and his wife are trying to cover up.

Don't think the Afdhal and Huma households have been okay all along. Several times Huma thought about leaving her husband.

The betrayal committed by her husband hurt her deeply. He felt humiliated not just feeling lied to.

Her ego also felt stifled when thinking of having to divorce her husband.

Various thoughts 'How will' fill his brain first. What is certain is that she does not want other women to enjoy all the luxuries of the hard work that she has built from zero with her husband.

"Okay, thank you for your honesty. Even though you are Afdhal's son, you are not part of our extended family. So please step aside first," expel Khalilah.

Huma again invites Saeba to rise from his seat. She took her husband's son to the guest room.

There was no talk during their trip. Saeba's heart felt inferior because her stepmother never once happened or said harshly to her.

"Umi," he called out in a stifled voice when he saw Huma leaving him.

Luckily his son had already fallen asleep since then so he could talk to his stepmother at this time.

"I'm sorry Saeba and Mom. We know we've ruined Umi's happiness. But ..." Saeba sobbed, she knew that maybe in Huma's heart she hated herself even more than her mother.

But he still felt he had to apologize. My life made him very sad.

If Ibnu would accept it, he would prefer to live with his mother's family who had loved him for a long time.

Unfortunately all he could not always get, Ibn who incidentally a slacker of course will not let go of his mother.

Surely the man whom he had called the father for twenty-three years would squeeze the energy of the mother to provide for her needs.

Not only that, Saeba also does not know where the existence of his mother and father at this time.

Huma tightly grasped the doorknob. Lie, if he is not hurt when he sees the faces of Saeba and Azam.

But he knew it was not the fault of the two children who could choose which womb they were born in.

Judging from the attitude of her husband's two children, she admitted that Saeba who is not so much behaved. Unlike Azam who had destroyed his daughter's household, the man also always troubled his family.

"You need to prepare. From now on, your Abi might have trouble meeting your needs. You must prepare with your own feet." That was the only reply given by Huma.

He doesn't want to make small talk with apologies and so on. Of course from the bottom of his heart he has not been able to forgive the behavior of the mother of the woman who is still sobbing in front of him.

Maybe the mouth can tell lies but not with the heart. So he chose to go.

It was true what Huma and Afdhal were afraid of. They were given the option to release the Huma family foundation's big name and find their own name.

Or let go of the stewardship of the foundation in their extended family and still receive revenue share later.

Afdhal did not want to give up just like that, he did not want to just accept the share of the results of the school he had worked so hard to build.

He chose to break away from his wife's big name.

In Afdhal's mind he believed that he was able to develop the school was bigger than the big name of his family-in-law foundation.

"Well, if that's your decision. Umi gives you three months to immediately change the name of your foundation. Otherwise, we will ensnare you to the line of law" Khalilah threatened.

Afdhal nodded arrogantly. After that the wife's extended family left their residence.

Huma breathed a sigh of relief as her extended family did not question her husband's children anymore.

Honestly, they also do not even know about the fate of the marriage of his youngest daughter and the chaos that accompanies it.

Afdhal would not have expected that his wife's extended family was now looking into the depravity of his other family to destroy his arrogance.

They really do not like the attitude of Afdhal who really feel great since the debate earlier.
