Genius Children: Between Hate and Miss
Meet the Former-In-Law

"Are you sure there are no forgettable things? I did not want to fit in to the apartment it turns out there are groceries or items that have forgotten to be purchased," Tania said as she, Arsenio and Surti were queuing at the cashier.

Surti again noticed the trolley containing all the food ingredients and daily necessities, especially the needs of Arsenio-kids who were taken care of by him. "Not really, Mom, everything's been bought. Boxed milk, vitamins and stationery Den Arsen is already in the trolley all."

"Yes, if you don't have any forgetfulness" Tania replied as she pushed the trolley closer to the cashier.

The beautiful woman with white skin like marble glanced at Arsenio who was standing next to her. Hands out to the side, rubbing the top of the child's head while saying, "Arsen don't want to buy toys or reading books? New mom gets a bonus so we can buy whatever you want."

Since moving to Jakarta, Tania's life has indeed improved a little. Everything Akmal said about the bright future is true, as Tania is now trusted by Johan to handle several projects won by the company. It was all inseparable from the interference of Tania Maharani, the woman who used to be one of the Vincent family.

Arsenio smirked to reveal a row of white teeth. "If I may, I'd like to buy a storybook, Ma. Yesterday Zoya told me that in the GM bookstore there is an interesting collection of books that are very suitable for me. I'm curious and want to prove it to myself."

Tania chuckled and pinched Arsenio's cheeks slowly. "By dong, time no! After this we stop by the nearest bookstore and you can choose any book you want."

Arsenio's thumb and index finger rose into the air, forming the letter O. "Okay, Mama!"

According to Arsenio's wishes, Tania took her only child to one of the famous bookstores in the mall. The spark of happiness was clearly reflected in Arsenio's eyes. Occasionally sounding a soft hum sourced from a beloved child.

"Well, honey, you can pick any book you want. But remember you can't stop mumpung, mama's mind allows you to choose, you so obey the weather and buy all the books without any desire to read them. Buy the book you really need, okay?" order Tania before releasing Arsenio's hand, going around looking for the desired book.

Nodding his head and answering, "Mama just calm down, I won't squander the money Grandpa Johan gave me." Then, Arsenio accompanied Surti into the bookstore in question while Tania sat in the front waiting chair of the store.

Tania noticed her beloved son who looked happy inside. Her bright face made the woman more excited to continue her life full of trials.

Take out the smartphone from his sling bag, then read the incoming email sent by Johan and his men. "The fate of being an employee, holidays are still told to work." Pause for a moment the sentence. "However, I can't complain that everything is going to be at risk. If I want a bright future for Arsenio then I have to work hard, can not stand idly by. Will the sustenance come so without being picked up?"

Tania's right hand was holding Arsenio, while her left hand was carrying a medium-sized shopping bag. Two other bags were carried by Surti. They walked along the mall, with the hazel-eyed little boy chattering up his happy feelings for the new book collection.

However, as the joy did not last long, when Tania accidentally looked at the figure of the woman she most wanted to avoid. Someone who was involved in the cracking of Tania and Xander's household.

Tania's footsteps stopped instantly. The heart beats irregularly, the pieces of events in the past re-spin in the mind of the woman.

You're just a poor man, as long as you're not clear. So don't expect me to accept you as my son-in-law. Forever, you're just a bunch of useless trash!

The words that Miranda had spoken five years ago were ringing in Tania's ears. Indeed, he did not expect that the woman who had given birth to Xander to this world would have to speak so. He thought Miranda would accept him after the marriage contract, but it turned out that Vincent's great mistress did not consider him to be a part of the Vincent family.

"Mom, are you all right?" surti asked in astonishment because from earlier his master was staring while continuing to look straight ahead.

"Surti sir, please take Arsenio now. We'll meet in the lobby, I'll have a little business." Unceasingly stale, Tania released Arsenio's hand grip and passed it to Surti. "Hurry, Surti!"

"Where is Bu Tania going? Why aren't we all the same?" Surti still spoke, conveying the confusion that befell him.

"I can't tell you. Anyway take Arsenio away from here, now!"

Although Surti was still surrounded by curiosity, but seeing the water of seriousness mixed with tension, the twenty-five-year-old woman obeyed the order of the master. He immediately moved one plastic bag to his left hand, while his right hand was specifically intended to hold Arsenio's hand.

"Surti, why are we leaving without Mama? Where did Mama go first? Why am I not invited?" arsenio asked after seeing Tania lagging behind.

Surti commented on the sweet smile on the corner of the lips. Although he himself did not know exactly what happened to his master, but tried to keep smiling and calm as usual. "Oh that, Mama Den Arsen wants to buy something he said there was someone left behind. We're asked to wait for Mama in the lobby."

Surti glanced at Arsenio. "We better wait for Mama downstairs. Den Arsen must have been impatient, 'will read the newly purchased book, '" he persuaded. Using Arsenio's weakness for the little boy to obey and obey his orders.

The tiny palm slapped his forehead slowly. "Oh yeah, I forgot I just bought a new book." Arsenio's face shone brightly when she heard Surti's words. "Yes, come on, ma'am. I can't wait to read that book."

Sighs long. Fortunately Den Arsen was obedient and did not ask much questions. If not, I will be confused myself to give an explanation to my foster child, inner Surti.

Meanwhile, Tania was adjusting her breathing. From earlier the woman's heart rhythm beat irregularly. The palms were soaked, cold sweat began to surface. Hopefully Miranda does not know his presence in the mall.

However, the universe did not grant Tania's wish. Miranda, her former father-in-law even approached while giving the same sharp eyes as during their first meeting.

"Still dare you show your nose in this city!" exclaim Miranda by raising the tone of voice.
