Husband And Sister-in-law
Chapter 9

Karina stepped towards the restaurant nervously. It seems like she can already guess the end of her meeting with her lover's mother, Ambar. Karina unconsciously crept her hands together because of her nervousness. Actually he better give up on fighting for their love because he knows very well how to relate to the upper class like them.

But because of his promise and his great love for Bryan, he was willing to fight for that love later until he got the blessing of Bryan's parents, especially his mother who clearly showed a face full of hostility to him last night. Moreover, plus the lie that Bryan said last night even though he had rectified it.

"Welcome home." A friendly greeting from a restaurant waiter.

"I have an appointment with someone." Karina replied neutralizing her nervousness. He tried to convince himself that everything would be fine. As long as there was Bryan supporting her, this was nothing to her. He had been used to ill-treatment since childhood because of his social status.

"What's the name, miss?" The waiter asked, still friendly with a smile.

"Mrs Atmajaya." Karina replied firmly.

"Let's please miss!" The servant smiled more and more kindly when the name of an influential person was called Karina.

Karina followed the waiter's steps towards the second floor where the reservation room was meant.

Tok tok tok tok

The waiter knocked on the door of the room in front of him and when outside heard the entrance permission, the waiter opened the door wide to let Karina in.

Ambar was already inside sitting on one of the restaurant chairs with a cup of tea. Sitting so elegantly and classily only glanced at the arrival of Karina who was trying to remain calm despite her chest rumbling strongly from nervousness.

"Please sit down, miss!" Please allow the waiter and Karina also sat in the chair appointed by the waiter after pouring a glass of water that was prepared for guests before the order was delivered. Ambar was still speechless as he sipped his tea gracefully.

The waiter lowered his head politely as he got the code from Ambar evicting from the privacy room.

Ting

Ambar put down his tea cup after the door was tightly closed. Karina sat upright looking straight at Ambar but still with a stage full of politeness that showed elegance as if she was an upper class as well. Though Karina had never studied it specifically but somehow her body had reflexed to do it naturally.

"Just go to the point. Leave my son!" Firmly Ambar no-nonsensely greeted. Karina's chest pounded, her pulse felt heavy because it felt tight with Ambar's direct gaze so real showed directly her dislike for him.

"Sorry Aunt..."

"Who dare you call me that?" Ambar's exclaim made Karina flinch in shock even though she quickly controlled herself. He is still polite because of his promise and love for Bryan to fight together. Trifles like this do not mean anything more than the globular trials of his life so far.

"I..."

"Miss, you just deserve to call me that." Ambar's assertiveness with his arrogance deliberately showed how low Karina's social status was before him.

"Sorry lady. I can't do your request." Karina replied no less firmly after sighing long while looking at Ambar boldly.

"You!" Ambar stared at Karina.

"I love her. We love each other. I promise to make your son happy." Karina said again still firmly.

"Haha... Happy it? By what?" Ambar asked, looking down on Karina. Karina's hands clenched under the table hearing her tone and small, condescending look, making Karina only able to dampen her emotions that were almost overflowing.

"With my love."

"Haha... Haha..." Ambar's laughter blared inside the privacy room of the restaurant. Fortunately, the room was soundproofed so no one would hear any sound from inside the room.

"Love? Haha... Till when? Until you're poor and quarreling over your tough economy? Haha..." Again the belittling laughter of Ambar made Karina clench her fingers.

"So, if you're desperate to elope and I cross my son off the family list you'll be fighting in the name of love?" Asked Ambar still with a dismissive tone, a smile of ridicule also did not forget to be singled out on his lips.

"Maybe for the first year you're okay, but I'm not sure for the next years. And you think I'd agree to make my son leave me?" Ambar stares at Karina.

"Madam, I'll prove it. You give us your blessing. We love and love each other." Please Karina kneel on the side of Ambar's empty chair.

Ambar fell silent not caring for Karina's pleas kneeling to him.

"Although you plead and try as hard as you can. Don't expect you to get my blessing! As long as I say this well, leave my son as soon as possible! Don't test my patience!" Ambar also stood up and left the private room did not care about all the wishes of sincerity made Karina.

Until Karina could only be silent on the floor of the room.

"Do I have to give up now? Bry, where are you?" Guman Karina stared at the screen of her phone which only the operator answered as she tried to contact him.

Bryan was sitting limp on the floor of his room with his back resting on the bed staring blankly at the wall in front of him. Since yesterday he was locked up like a child, hp confiscated even though food is always delivered by the maid aunt who was forced to eat to fight for her love for her lover.

"I'm not giving up, baby. Be patient, wait for me! I will definitely marry you even with my mother's blessing or not." Bryan rubbed his face rough. He stood up and looked around his room looking for a way out that he might be able to do to get out of his room to meet the lover of the heart he missed.

"Dam." Brian when she saw the bodyguard also stood guard on the balcony of her room.

"Is there anything I can help young master?" Asked one of the bodyguards looking at Bryan straight.

"No!" Bryan went back into the room and closed the balcony door.

"Mommy really locked me up. What does it mean to treat me like a child." Upset Bryan paced around in his room trying to find an alternative way out.

"Mobile! Yeah, I can borrow their cell phone temporarily to contact Karina and convince her not to give up." Guman Bryan smiled happily about his plan.

Cclek

The two bodyguards immediately turned to look at Bryan who was staring at him enthusiastically like never before.

"Borrow your cell phone!" Pinta Bryan was more assertive as a command that made the two look at each other.

"Don't tell me you're forbidden from lending me your cell phones!" Upset Bryan saw the two hesitating to obey Bryan's words.

"Please young master!" Said the bodyguard who asked Bryan earlier at the beginning.

"Thank you." Bryan greeted her with great enthusiasm and led her into the room.
