GIRL IN RED
CHAPTER 26. "DAD"
Yadid nodded as he escorted the two of them out. Just as the Emir was about to leave the house, he said, “Wait!”
Arimbi immediately stopped his steps.
“Close to here Director Rafaldi!” emir.
“Yes, Mr. Emir.” Yadid approached and stood in front of the Emir.
“Be closer and bend down! I want to whisper something to you and I want you to just tell your wife about this. You have to keep what I'm going to tell you from others. And you also cannot say anything but get permission from me.” the Emir explained.
“If I find out that you leaked this secret to someone then don't blame me for I will send you to hell!” added again.
Yadid's face immediately pale and frightened and promised the Emir, “Don't worry Mr. Emir, I can keep a secret.” After saying that Yadid bowed and brought his ears closer.
“Dad!” whispered Emir in the ear of Yadid. The man was immediately dumbfounded after hearing the Emir's words.
While the Emir's facial expression was still as usual cold and when he turned to see Arimbi who was sharpening his ears wanted to try to hear what the Emir said to his father.
“Come go!”
Arimbi could not hear a single sentence of what the Emir whispered to his father, so he simply nodded and pushed the Emir's wheelchair past his father. He accidentally bumped into Yadid but the man did not flinch he just stared at the couple in astonishment.
This made Arimbi even more curious about what the Emir said to his father. The Emir turned Yadid into a statue that did not budge at all. After a few minutes, some of the Emir's luxury cars came out of the Rafaldi residence. Only then did Amanda have the guts to get out of the house.
When he was outside the house, he saw his father who was standing still with a confused expression. It looked like his soul had left his body. “What's dad?” ask Amanda while pushing her father's arm.
Yadid immediately regained his senses and opened his mouth to say something, but when he remembered what the Emir had said to him he finally closed his mouth and swallowed back the words that had been at the tip of his tongue.
“I want to go inside first and spend some time alone, there are things I have to do. Today is too hot I may have auditory hallucinations due to the heat,” he said.
‘Emir has no other reason to call me dad! Why did he call me Dad? Does he want me to be his foster father? It can't be. Did he...call me father....since he is my son-in-law?’ thought.
Yadid felt like his brain was burning after waking up, he could not believe that what he had just heard was not his hallucination. ‘That's impossible! The weather was so hot that I hallucinated to that extent! Clearly Arimbi refused to marry her, where she might be my daughter-in-law! But....?’
Meanwhile, in the car that took Emir and Arimbi to the residence of the Serkan family, the atmosphere was very charming. The Emir sat upright with a cold expression on his face while looking forward making it difficult for Arimbi to start a conversation even though he wanted to.
“Are you done seeing me?” suddenly the iceberg opened its mouth and spoke.
“Am I allowed to keep seeing you if I'm not done yet?” reply Arimbi.
The Emir tilted his head and looked at Arimbi for a moment then gave him an order. “Get out your phone!” The Emir was still staring at Arimbi, he still wanted to prank his new wife.
“Direct your phone camera and take some pictures of me. Then, you make my picture wallpaper on your phone. You can only look at your phone when you want to see me. This time, I won't ask for payment!” the Emir said confidently as if he was a famous model or actor.
Arimbi was instantly speechless hearing the bold words the Emir spoke. He did not say much directly direct the camera of his phone and took some photos of Emir and made it as wallpaper on his phone. Arimbi remembered that he had forgotten to bring the clothes he had bought for the Emir and also some evening dresses that he had bought.
“Ah!” his screeches.
“Why are you shouting so? You will die with me if you surprise me!” emir.
“I didn't mean to! If I could really do that, the sun would definitely rise from the west, you're always the one who scares people!” arimbi answered, pursing his lips.
Inadvertently Arimbi reached out his hand to touch the Emir's face and pinched his cheek, the Emir grimaced because Arimbi pinched him too hard. The Emir brushed off the woman's hand and touched her sore cheek from Arimbi's pinch. He gritted his teeth because he felt the marks hurt,”You are getting bolder ya!” said Emir.
Instead of being afraid and feeling sorry to see the Emir in pain because of his pinch, Arimbi laughed at him instead. Arimbi's laughter made the bodyguard and driver want to jump out of the car right then and there because they were afraid that the Emir would soon run amok.
“You have guts too huh it turns out! You dare to fight me now!” the Emir stared intently.
“Emir! I have a mouth for a reason!” arimbi Syndir.
The Emir replied to his new wife by sticking out his hands and squeezing his face. Upon seeing Arimbi grimacing in pain, the Emir hurriedly took off his hand, he wiped his hand against his shirt with a look of disdain on his face. Arimbi was not blind, he noticed his movements and wanted it to feel like he was punching the man right then and there.
“What did you shout earlier?” the Emir asked after squeezing his wife's face for a while, his mood got better. Although Arimbi grew up in the countryside but he has a supple and soft facial skin makes it comfortable to touch.
“That---I forgot to pack the items I bought while shopping earlier. I bought you a shirt.” replied Arimbi.
Instantly the Emir's face turned dark, “I gave you enough time to pack your things but you still forgot to bring some stuff. Why don't you forget to take yourself?” the Emir sneered. Arimbi just lowered his head in embarrassment, he did not dare to speak at all. Nevertheless he unceasingly cursed the Emir in his heart.
The Emir was silent for a moment before giving orders to his bodyguard, “Phone Gilang and tell him to return to pick up the items that the young mistress had forgotten to bring.” his orders.
Arimbi felt no need to send people back to his house just to pick up his clothes left behind, so he expressed objection. “I can go home and pick it up when I have time later.”
The Emir glared at him and Arimbi retreated until his body docked to the car door. ‘Iss…..This man's gaze was truly frightening!’ his murmur was being stared at while clucking.
Arimbi was afraid that he would start having nightmares if he glared at her a few more times. The bodyguard in the front seat immediately contacted Gilang and relayed the Emir's orders.
Arimbi lowered the car window and stuck his head out to look at the car behind them. It's true, some cars start to slow down and prepare to turn. When he looked behind him he saw the Emir was looking at him straight.
“Do you never receive Emir gifts?” asked Arimbi because he felt that the Emir felt very interested in the clothes he bought.
