BEING THE WIFE OF HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW
CHAPTER 33. QUARRELED
That morning Grandpa Bimo was already sitting on the dining table chair preparing for breakfast. While Kian still back and forth arranging food on the table. Grandpa Bimo's condition was already better when compared to last night.
"Grandpa eat first!" said Kian while keeping a plate filled with egg toast and a glass of milk. Grandpa Bimo nodded with a smile.
"Where's Rama?" ask the grandfather.
"Mas Rama was still bathing. It might come down soon, too" replied Kian.
"I'm here grandfather" said Rama who had just come down the stairs and walked towards the dining table. Kiss the grandfather's forehead and sit down. She quickly prepared breakfast for her husband.
"How's Grandpa doing now?" rama asked at breakfast.
"good. Very well," Grandpa Bimo replied with vigor.
"If you still feel unwell, I will take you to the hospital" Rama said.
"no need. My grandfather doesn't need a doctor. Grandpa already has a personal doctor who is very powerful to cure all grandfather's diseases."
"Oh yeah?"
"of course. If Lian's here, Grandpa doesn't need any doctors. Lian always took care of grandfather with care and affection. It's not wrong that grandfather made him a grandson-in-law" said grandfather Bimo and Kian just smiled.
Rama stared at his wife intensely. The woman was absolutely perfect in the eyes of the grandfather. Kian who realized being stared at by the man, immediately lowered his head with a face that began to reddish.
Seeing the interaction between his two grandchildren made Grandpa Bimo smile. He held Rama's hand and it managed to resuscitate the grandson. Rama blinked his eyes for a while and then turned back to look at the grandfather.
"Don't look at your wife too deeply like that. Later you will fall in love with him," said Grandpa Bimo with a smile.
The atmosphere became calm. Everyone there was trying to enjoy their breakfast.
"Oh yes Ram, isn't next week the anniversary of Amarta's Group?" ask the grandfather after finishing his breakfast. He wiped his lips with a tissue and sat down to relax for a moment.
"Yes Kek" answered Rama briefly.
"Have you prepared everything?"
"It has. Celebrations, invited guests and others, I've arranged them. Everything is smooth and ready. Grandpa just need to check the end result."
"good. Well, by noon, Grandpa will be coming to the office to double-check everything."
"Good Cake."
Grandpa Bimo turned his head towards Kian.
"Lian," call the grandfather.
"Yes Kek" replied Kian. He looked at Grandfather's face.
"This is your first time attending a corporate birthday event. Grandpa wishes you could come. Dress as beautifully as possible. You must remember that you are the wife of the CEO of Amarta's Group."
He took a long breath. She thought how she could present at the party as Lian while there would of course be Samir who now served as the husband's personal assistant. Troubled all this time he did not go out of the house just to avoid meeting his childhood friend but now there is even a company event. Then how can he avoid the men if they are in the same place?

"Oh yeah? So next week is Amarta's Group's corporate birthday?" safira said cheerfully.
That afternoon as usual, every time he came home from work, Rama always took the time to stop by the lover's apartment. Yes, because he did not want if until the grandfather knew that the woman lived in his apartment, Rama finally bought a new apartment to live in by the lover.
"Hmm," answered Rama while occasionally sipping hot coffee that Safira had made.
Hearing that there will be an event in the company of the lover makes the girl very happy. He thought maybe it was time for him to show himself before Grandpa Bimo. He did not want to wait too long to be able to unite with Rama.
"Darling, what color do you think I should wear at the party? Or will you wear a dress of what color? Let me wear the uniform color with you. So later in the party if we stand side by side it will look very harmonious" Safira said again. Rama frowned.
"You want to come to the show?" rama asked confusedly. Safira smiled. The woman got up from her seat and then moved to the side of the lover. Hugged that burly arm and leaned his head there.
"Of course I'll come. It was my husband's corporate event. How could I not come? You know, baby, this is the perfect moment for you to tell everyone that I'm your lover and we're getting married soon," said Safira relaxed with a smile on the face that never fade in the slightest.
"Are you crazy? I haven't asked Grandpa's permission" Rama said.
"Honey that's it. If you ask grandfather for permission first, I guarantee he will never allow us to unite. But if you were to directly announce this in front of everyone, let alone in front of many business colleagues, I'm sure inevitably Grandpa Bimo will definitely bless our relationship. Yes, maybe he will be angry for a few hours or maybe a few days but he will not be able to refuse our relationship" explained Safira.
"No!" resolute Rama. He stood up so quickly that Sapphira, who was a henchman on the lover's shoulder, was slightly jolted.
"No??" safira asked confusedly.
"I wouldn't do that. And I also won't allow you to come to Amarta's Group's corporate birthday party. I don't want to see you there until you meet your grandfather" said Rama.
"But why, baby? Don't you want to continue our relationship to become more serious? This is the only chance for us to snatch the blessing from Grandpa Bimo. He'll definitely be forced to bless our relationship."
"That's what I don't want. Forced! I want grandfather to bless our relationship sincerely, not by force" said Rama with a tone of voice that began to rise.
"Then you have to wait for Grandpa Bimo to die then we can be together."
"SAFIRA!!!" Rama's hand had begun to rise upwards but he could not stand it to float towards the woman's face in front of him.
"Why? You want to slap me? Come slap!" shouts Sapphira while closing her cheeks towards Rama. Made the man throw his hands down violently.
"Am I wrong for wanting to live with you right away? Am I wrong to feel annoyed at Grandpa Bimo who never blesses our relationship? Am I wrong to feel upset about you never being able to take a stand? You know, I think if one day Grandpa Bimo told you to get married, maybe you'd do it willingly" Safira said. Rama remained silent.
