Hardcore Wife
Chapter 43

"So this is the representative of PT Ruzerda. Looks like the company has started to decline its performance." Reply grandfather casually while Manggut-beard and gazing towards uncle. It turns out that the departure of grandfather and hafiz went briefly to pick up the uncle and aunt who followed us to the mall.

"What do you mean talk like that, old man!!" Adam was angry because his pride was scratched because of Grandfather's words.

"Already, Mayang now you change your clothes with this nduk." A grandmother who didn't want many people watching them. 

While handing over the clothes that have been chosen for me. Grandma saw the look on Grandfather's face that had changed, grandma could only stroke Grandpa's back so that grandfather held back emotions.

"And you, you better get all your family out of here. Aren't you ashamed of watching so many people?" Grandma again with firmness.

Seeing almost a lot of people watching them even some who are holding a mobile phone. Adam immediately invited everyone away from the boutique. "Loh mas, why tell us to leave anyway, not satisfied to know we are shy Mayang." Novi said as they moved away from the boutique

"Know this mas Adam, anyways when else we can be embarrassed mba Mayang." Sahut princess who is upset to see his behavior

"It's been... It's been... Aren't you ashamed of the many people who saw us there. If they record us then spread it to social media. Your reputation is ruined. Don't you think about the impact?" Adam's murmur is beaver.

After the departure of Adam and his family, Mayang went straight to the dressing room at the behest of grandmother. Mayang tried a cream-colored knee-length dress that fits perfectly with his skin. Grandma asked me to wear it right away because according to grandma the clothes I was wearing were too tomboyish. 

Grandma paid for the clothes I was wearing, but I wanted to pay for them myself. My grandmother forbade me. After paying for the clothes I had worn, my grandmother and aunt took me to a shoe store that I thought was quite expensive for bags. Aunt chose me high heels that are 5 cm tall. I can only follow the will of grandmother and aunt. Not to forget also aunt bought me a branded bag with a pretty fantastic price.

After being satisfied shopping grandfather invited us to eat at one of the eating places that came from the land of sakura. I chose to order Egg chicken roll, beef Yakiniku, Tori ball, and rice not to forget also pickled mayo and drink it I prefer bottled water.

After we finished all the food we had ordered, grandfather invited us to buy all the hafiz needs and toys. It's just that hafiz refused to buy toys, hafiz only asked to buy books. Grandpa who knows the hobby of his great-granddaughter is very happy and proud. Grandpa did not bear the responsibility of buying hafiz computer for his learning media.

At first grandma wanted to buy hafiz mobile phone but I refused it. For the growth of my son. If my computer doesn't mind it, just don't use the internet. Whereas if the phone, I do not want my son to spend his time playing games, What else online games, really I do not want my son addicted to games.

Not to be outdone by grandpa, grandma bought hafiz a super sophisticated watch at an incredible price. A watch that can receive a phone and also comes with a full-featured tracking device. So I can monitor my son's movements. For a moment my poor blood trembled considering how much money they had spent on me and hafiz.

I don't really know who my papa family is. Grandpa and Grandma easily spent that much money. Whether they are landlords or if they are rich. Wanted to ask but somehow this mouth feels difficult to pronounce.

Given the age of grandparents who are fairly advanced. We chose to return home, and our uncles and aunts followed us in their cars. Arriving at home we immediately tidied up all the groceries and cleaned up. I made black coffee for grandfather and also tea with jasmine aroma for grandmother, uncle and aunt.

Not to forget the favorite chocolate milk hafiz and also latte coffee with my favorite ice cubes.

"May, someone wants uncle to talk to you" said the uncle as I placed the glass on the family room table.

"Uncle wants you to take responsibility as one of the owners of your grandfather's company. We know all about you. Even grandfather told people to keep an eye on you after you got married. It is not your intention to abandon you. It's just the circumstances that forced us to stay away from you, son?" Said uncle with his sad face.

I looked at the faces of all my family who were currently sitting in the living room with gazes that I could not read. "What's the reason for his uncle, did uncle know that Mayang was despised by Adam's family. Do you know how much Mayang suffered in ridicule, right by Adam's extended family?" I took out all the questions I had wanted to ask with an uncertain feeling. 

Sad and hate mixed into one. All the memories and bad events I've experienced go back in circles. Like a movie that keeps showing all scene after scene. Tears began to flow from my eyes.

"We did it because we wanted to protect you Mayang." Said uncle lirih.

With a trembling voice I tried asking uncle "Protect Mayang how uncle?" 

"Protect you from those who seek to harm you." Grandma answered while holding back her tears. I saw Auntie stroking Grandma's back.

I honestly don't know anything about my biological father's family. I even knew them before my mom died. Mama told me that papa had a family and gave my uncle's address to me that was all I knew. 

Grandma started telling me everything honestly, about my dad and mom. Grandpa and Grandma chose to stay away from me. Grandma told me everything in detail. There was a fear inside me remembering hafiz. Anyway I don't want to until something happens hafiz. 

I just didn't think they were trying to protect me. I just thought that they hated me because I was born of a woman who had no origin. 

"Then is Mayang safe now Grandma?" I hesitated after hearing Grandma's story.

"God willing, you are safe, dear, from the news that the man was killed. We don't know who or how the man was killed. We decided to postpone meeting with you, so that we could ensure your safety." Grandma held my hands together.

"This is the reason why we stayed away from you. Not because we hate your mother, but for your safety. Before your mother died. Your mother met with uncle and asked us to stay away from you. Your mother felt that the man was after her life. And your mama also asked us to just protect you from afar and monitor her. He doesn't want us to get involved away from their problems. Sorry we're boys." Reveal uncle with guilt.

"Your father is an extraordinary man, Grandfather is very proud of him. And mama's an amazingly great woman there's no fear in the slightest of faithful accompanying your papa." Reveal Grandpa with a smile.

"So... Do you want to accept one of your grandfather's companies. After all, it belongs to your father. And you're their only child, it's your right to have it." Ask uncle Abraham.

"Okay uncle, Mayang accept the request of uncle and grandfather." Said.

"Alhamdulillah" they said with relief.
