Business, Hate And Love
Chapter 8 - The Holidays Feel Painful

Maudy realized that Hans noticed her smiling faintly and the man replied to her.

Zayn finished his lunch, pretending to look at the clock on his phone. "I'm sorry, I have to meet my family somewhere else. I'll take it first!"

"Yes, please!"

"Once again sorry, I'm in a hurry!"

"No problem, Mr. Zayn!" hans.

Zayn stood up as well as his wife.

Maudy simply smiled faintly and moved her face, "Excuse me!" pampered.

Both men agree.

Maudy followed in the footsteps of her husband who was holding her hand.

Arriving at the taxi, Maudy asked, "Is your family here?"

"No."

"You were lying?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Why lie?"

"I don't like it, he's looking at you like that!" ceplos Zayn's.

Maudy heard him smile.

"Don't think I like you!"

"If you have no taste, your attitude will not be like this. Just let him look at me, who knows Hans is more sincere than you" Maudy said.

"Remember your position!"

"Yes, I remember it."

Upon arriving at the hotel, Maudy only saw the view from the window of the room where she was staying. Her husband goes nowhere, always disappears.

The phone rang, Maudy turned her body in search of the sound. His eyes were fixed under the bed, he half-squatted and picked it up. "It's Zayn's phone!" muttered.

Maudy turned the object around and saw the name, "Milka!"

Maudy replied, "Hello!"

"Hello, who is this?" ask Milka from far away.

Maudy was silent at the caller's voice.

"Where's Zayn?"

"I don't know."

"How could you not know? Must be his wife? Don't hide my lover!"

Degs...

Maudy's heartbeat stopped.

"You're just his wife on paper, don't you dare seize her heart let alone touch her body!"

Unable to hear all the words of the woman, he vehemently closed his call.

The door opened, "Did you see my phone?" ask Zayn.

Maudy expressionlessly pointed it out.

Zayn smiled in relief as he quickly reached.

"So Milka called, I answered her. Sorry!" Maudy said with a flat look.

"Really presumptuous!" the upset.

"I'm sorry, "Maudy said softly.

Zayn who did not want to listen to his wife's explanation chose to go back out of the room.

Maudy sat on the side of the bed, she dropped her tears. "Mom, how long will I last with her?"

----------------

Traveling back to his homeland, Maudy chose silence and did not want to talk much. The holidays should be fun but the reality is turning around.

When she got home, Maudy pulled out her suitcase and her husband. "From our way home we were always silent, what exactly happened?"

"Who's Milka?"

"He's my lover."

"So you're a normal guy?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Why did you agree to marry me? What's your real purpose?"

"My goal is a future with Milka and only you can make it happen!" zayn replied with a grinning look.

Maudy clenched her hand.

"After I get it, I'll just let you go. You have to remember, our marriage is just a mutually beneficial business. Your family debt is paid off and I get what I want" Zayn smiled smirk.

"I will never part with you!"

Zayn chuckled, "Until when do you hang on with me who never loved you?"

"I will try to get your heart and defend our household."

"Do as much as you can, if it's not strong, wave your hand!" again Zayn showed a smile to his trifles.

"I'll prove it!" Maudy emphasized his words.

Zayn then left the room.

"Why are you guys coming home so soon? Isn't there two more days?" ask Dinda.

"There's a sudden job, Ma." Zayn gave a lie.

"Zayn, how many times Papa said if the company business let us take care of it," said Tian.

"I'm thinking, Pa."

"Zayn, this when it comes to work never disappoints" Dinda was so proud of her son.

Maudy smiled, but she had to.

"How was your vacation there?" ask Dinda.

"Very nice, Ma," Zayn answered.

"Why are you silent?" Dinda's eyes now look at her daughter-in-law.

"I'm just a little saucer, Ma." Maudy smiled.

"Is Zayn the one who's making you tired?" ask Dinda again.

Maudy and Zayn looked at each other, both of them just scratching their nape.

"The journey from Dubai here is exhausting, Ma." Maudy is clear not to misunderstand.

"Oh, so. But, if Zayn is the one who makes you tired Mama is happy to hear it," Dinda smiled.

"Alright, Ma. Don't embarrass our daughter-in-law, look at her red face because you always tease her" Tian said.

Maudy again had to force her smile.

"You go to the room, then Mama will make fruit juice for you," said Dinda.

"Thank you, Ma. Then I'll go to the room" Maudy said goodbye to her two in-laws.

Zayn and his parents now live.

"Papa wants to talk to you, Zayn." Tian stopped his son who was about to leave.

Zayn sat down.

"What's up, Pa?"

"Who are the plane tickets and hotels to Japan for?"

"Where does Papa know all that?" his inner.

"Zayn, please answer!"

"Hemm. for Milka, Pa." Zayn said softly with a slightly bowed face.

"That woman again" complained Dinda.

"You're married, why are you still dealing with that woman?" ask Tian.

"I don't want her to be sad about my marriage to Maudy, Pa."

"So, because you're afraid he's sad it's as easy as giving a vacation ticket" Dinda said.

"I love her, Ma."

"How many times Mama says don't go near her, still keep in touch with her. Aren't you thinking about Maudy's feelings?" Dinda looked at her son.

"I accepted this marriage because of your wishes as well. Did Mom and Dad ever ask me if I was happy or not?"

"Mama is sure of your happiness with Maudy. She's a good, honest and hardworking woman" Dinda replied.

"He's just after our treasure, Ma."

"Never say anything like that, Zayn!" tian Sentak.

"He sacrificed his happiness for money!"

"He sacrificed for his family" Dinda said.

"Mama and Papa have always stood up for him!" Zayn's angry.

"If you can't do him any good, then the land will never be yours!" threaten Tian's.

"Pa, I'm your son" Zayn said softly.

"Yes, if you obey our request then the land is yours!" Tian said firmly.

"Remember, Zayn. Our daughter-in-law is just Maudy, nothing else" Dinda chimed in.

"Well, I'll comply with Mama and Papa's request but give me the land letter immediately!"

"Before Maudy gave birth to a grandchild for us, do not expect the land to be yours!" dinda.

"What if she's not pregnant?" ask Zayn.

"You've only been married for two weeks" replied Dinda.

"Hows it? Do you agree to the terms we give you?" ask Tian.

"All right, I agree!"

Dinda and her husband looked at each other and smiled.

Finished arguing with her son, Dinda made avocado juice without sugar but given honey. Dinda knew her son-in-law's favorite juice was from Vienna.

Dinda asked the maid to call Maudy shortly after, and the woman approached her.

"Sorry to disturb you sleep" said Dinda, offering a glass of juice.

"I was working on an office job" Maudy gave an excuse.

"Oh, the important thing is that you don't get too tired. This is Mama make your favorite avocado juice and he said this is a good fruit for the pregnant program," said Dinda.

Maudy, who was again sucking on the choking juice, quickly grabbed the glass and poured the contents down and downed it.

"You're okay, right?"

"No, Ma."
