While stomping her feet in annoyance Rania rushed inside the villa and called for the maid to help pack all her belongings. ‘Huh! The more doubt and the more behavior of the village women! If it wasn't for mom's threats, I wouldn't be going home! Ck! Why ask in-laws to cook!”
It was not until fifteen minutes that all the goods had been packed and the servants helped put Rania's suitcase into the car. After everything was done, Rania and Alarik got into the car. “We are back home.” Alarik told his driver. “Take an alternative route to quickly reach home.”
“Good Mr.” said the driver drove the vehicle.
“Don't put on a pouting face like that, not good.” said Alarik when he saw the face of Rania who shriveled annoyed. “Remember, our daughter-in-law is pregnant with a grandchild, the future successor of the Serkan family! You used to cravings also like to ask the weird.” Alarik quipped.
“Kor if I used to. I am your family's chosen son-in-law and well received by the entire Serkan family. Well, Arimbi? Your mother just doesn't like it! Especially me?”
“Then who do you like to be your daughter-in-law, huh? Zivanna? It's not as good as you thought it was all along. Embarrassing and willing to change partners, his life is free. Fortunately, the Emir rejected it raw.”
Rania fell silent and threw her eyes out the window. “There are still many girls from other rich families with good status suitable for Emir.”
“Where have they all been all this time? Your son is handicapped, everything is on the run! Now that the Emir is normal and able to walk as usual, surely everyone wants to marry him! But when he was at the lowest point in his life only Arimbi would accept it!”
“If it wasn't for Arimbi, you thought the Emir could walk like now? Arimbi who has been encouraging him to continue therapy! You should be proud to have such a daughter-in-law, don't look where she's from. He was innocent, however, of being raised in the village. No one wants to be in Arimbi's position, change the time of baby.”
“However she is the biological daughter and heir of the Rafaldi family! And Arimbi also had a good character even though he was a bit of a bar-bar and shameless. At least he doesn't wear a mask of falsehood like the rich girls you've brought to introduce to Emir.”
Rania was speechless again, she was speechless and drifting in her mind. Somehow he hated Arimbi so much and now his hatred is mounting after getting a call from his in-laws who asked him to go home immediately to cook food for Arimbi.
“It looks like he deliberately made such a request! He wanted to take revenge on me by asking me to cook for him! Why are you following?” rania growled but could still be heard by Alarik.
“Because mom still has common sense! Whatever he hates Arimbi, the child in his womb is the flesh blood of the Serkan family! And the Emir loves his wife.”
“Cih! He must have used it to melt my son's heart! Emirs who have been cold to women can easily submit to the woman. If the child is born, just take the child and drive him out. Give her whatever she wants!”
“Rania! Watch your talk! I'd rather throw you out than expel Arimbi! At least he's much more useful than you!” alarik said with ketus.
“What? So you intend to throw me out? Yes so?” Rania also shed tears, her heart hurt due to being yelled at by her husband. During their marriage, Alarik never once scolded her.
But just now her husband snapped and scolded her for the first time. And all because of Arimbi, what the hell was that woman doing until everyone defended her? Not Elisha, not Emir, not Agha.
Rania clenched her hands withstanding the resentment and anger.
Three hours later they arrived at the Serkan family's residence. As soon as the car arrived in front of the main entrance looked Yaya and the waiter had already greeted them.
“Welcome back Sir, Madam.”
“Please lift the suitcase from the car and take it to the room.” said Alarik while Rania rushed into the house without greeting her butler.
“Why are you walking like that?” ask Layla Serkan to her daughter-in-law.
“Bu, is it true that the village woman asked me to cook?”
“Iya. Is there a problem?” layla Serkan asked, looking at Rania who looked very upset.
“She is pregnant and wants to eat your cooking. That's why I called and asked you to come home. Not good if it does not meet the wishes of pregnant women.” he said again.
“Bu, what do you think this mom is not outrageous? It was as if he was ordering! Let the chef do the cooking and tell him that it's me who cooks.” said Rania looking for an excuse not to cook. She dislikes it because she thinks Arimbi is asking Layla for her purpose.
“What's outrageous? Why are you even upset that way?”
“This must be his wits to take revenge on me, ma'am. She knows I don't like her.”
“Rania! Enough's enough! Go to the kitchen and start cooking. After that we went to meet them at the hotel. Don't make him wait too long, I told Emir just now.”
Rania had no choice after her husband and mother-in-law glared at her angrily. Rania went to the kitchen and started cooking.
Not only that, Layla Serkan even went into the kitchen just to check the food made by Rania. “No seafood, no good for the content. It should not be too spicy, Arimbi likes sweet sour.” said Layla Serkan.
Rabia grunted in annoyance. She wondered where her in-laws knew Arimbi's favorite food from? He finally asked, “Bu, where do you know the favorite food of village women?”
“Who do you mean?” ask Layla Serkan.
“Who else is ma'am if not the woman Emir married?”
“Arimbi! Arimbi Raffaldi, that's his name! Why don't you say his name? Ck!”
“Why has mom changed so much now? Don't tell me that I have received Arimbi in this family.” said Rania. “What's so true bu?” rania asked looking at her in-laws seriously.
“He has officially married the Emir. It means she is the legitimate wife of the Emir and now she is pregnant with the successor of the Serkan family! Do you want to kick it from here, huh?”
“Bu—not so I mean ma'am. She doesn't deserve to be part of this family.”
“Rania! Deserving inappropriate is none of our business! He's already helping the Emir get back to normal. Think of it as a thank you for it. Quickly finish the cooking. Do not take too long, after that you deliver to the hotel. They've been there for a few days.”
Layla Serkan came out of the kitchen and walked towards her room. ‘Why does everything have to be fussed? Lucky to be able to get pregnant, at least this family will soon have a successor! At least she is not as bad as Miss Lavani and other women who are humiliating.’ Layla murmured in her heart.
He immediately got ready to go to see the Emir because there were things he wanted to talk about with his grandson who had not met and talked for a long time. Although they lived in the same neighborhood, the Emir never went to the main house to see his grandmother. Since the events of Layla Serkan who crossed Arimbi, the Emir never wanted to see his grandmother again.
This is a dilemma for Layla Serkan because she is the one who raised and educated the Emir since childhood. Layla tries to make peace with her granddaughter so that their relationship is not getting tenuous. However, he wants to be involved at the birth of his great-grandson later.
