Husband And Sister-in-law
Chapter 93

"Why? Why do you have to apologize?" Bastian asked, looking at his daughter's face, who he had just realized, tired from too much of a burden on his mind.

"I shouldn't have hugged you in a public place.me..."

"No Karin! It's not you who should apologize, but me... Sorry for abandoning you so long and coming so late. I should've come to you soon and picked you up at the orphanage. Sorry." Bastian mutely explained the sequence of his mistake. Karina simply fell silent and did not answer or refute.

"And... Thank you for accepting and treating this old man as your father. This way I don't feel more guilty about your mother doesn't mean it's not wrong at all. I know I was wrong and I don't deserve to be forgiven. But at least I want to make amends for my past mistakes by being by your side with me for the rest of my time." Obviously Bastian smiled sincerely with a look of guilt still present. Karina looked up at Bastian desperately looking for what was on that face. It seems like her pretty face is declining from the father because Karina is beautiful, not bored in the eyes.

"Dad...can I call you that?" Karina asked hesitantly looking at Bastian who was already glazed in her eyes.

"No... Of course it can. You have every right, you're free to call me what." Bastian answered quickly as he rubbed the corner of his dripping eyes from being too happy with his daughter's confession from the woman of his first love. Just because their social status is different, they are forced to be separated by both parents.

"Dad..hiks..dad...hiks..."

Grep

Bastian approached Karina's bed and hugged her tightly as if channeling all her feelings during this time. She was crying too. Didn't expect him to experience something like this in his mind. After Karina's rejection at the orphanage back then, Bastian had already given up on getting the love of his daughter. But he still gave attention even though it was not directly accepted by Karina.

He just did it secretly. It was only when he saw Karina yesterday that he seemed to have crossed the line built by Karina because he saw his daughter who was far from being okay. How Bastian knows, I don't know. Maybe his instincts as a father who felt it until he reflexively called his name which even though it had forbidden him to pretend not to know if they accidentally met outside.

"Thank you dad.. Thank you dad..." The two cry together inside Bastian's apartment room still hugging. Bastian could only nod his head in agreement not being able to answer because of his happiness cry.

"Yes mi?" Bryan picked up his mom's call that morning.

"How...Yeah?" Ambar asked hesitantly even though he was actually curious as well so early in the morning he contacted his son out of curiosity.

"Papa canceled it, he had a sudden affair that could not be left behind. So, last night we canceled a meeting and papa will call me later." Bryn is long. Now he was in the car on his way to the office from his apartment.

"Oh... How tumben? He's usually so enthusiastic, right?" Ambar asked in surprise.

"Let's know, maybe papa really has some urgent business so he's forced to cancel our dinner." Replied Bryan did not want complicated even though he was actually also curious. But it was not his father who contacted him but his papa assistant who contacted him. He said that his papa had business that could not be left so he could not contact him.

"She should have been self-conscious, had dared to abandon her son and unceremoniously abort him. The next time he calls you, just turn him down, Bry!" The sound of Ambar's long nagging makes Bryan speechless just say yes, otherwise his mama will certainly nag long blaming his papa.

"Yes, it was a long time ago. I've reached the office." Pamit Bryan closes her call after her mom agrees.

"Is there an important meeting later?" Bryan asked Gio who was driving the car with a focus on looking ahead.

"Just a meeting with Mr. Bastian's company. In addition there is discussion with the shareholders." Gio replied without taking his eyes off the streets.

"You're sure the meeting wasn't canceled, either?" Asked Bryan somehow he was julid because he was carried away by his mother's nagging related to his biological father.

"You just get all the files ready. Once we are ready, we can leave immediately. What time is the meeting?" Bryan asked as he stepped towards the company elevator while glancing at his watch.

"Four ten o'clock in the morning sir, lunch will be continued if it is finished at lunchtime." Tell Gio.

"Hm."

The elevator crawled up after Bryan pressed on the floor where the room was.

"Mr Ima, can you ask for a representative mother's signature? I need it now." Say a woman who is the same age as Ima while carrying a report file.

"But the vice madam has not arrived yet. Maybe in a minute." Ima replied while glancing at her watch.

"But I have to hand it over today as well mbak, is Miss vice absent today?"

"See, he hasn't contacted me if he's out today. There can also be a morning meeting directly at a place and the mistress does not come to the office early in the morning." It was clear that Ima even though she herself was unsure as well.

"alright. I'll leave it here anyway mbak, later if you've already called me huh?" Answer the woman.

"certain." Ima replied smiling kindly as well.

"Where is Miss Karin?" Guman Ima while glancing at his watch already showed at nine in the morning and Karina is not a person who likes to be late and she also always contact him if it is a meeting directly outside the office.

"Do I have to report to Mr Aldi? But only later after being convinced that Madame Karina did not come." Guman Ima continued his work.

"Huff. I'm like a stalker who has to report anything the mistress does all day at the office. Didn't they have a mistress's cell phone number too, why did I have to go through my intermediary. They're not fighting, are they? Ah... Basic newlyweds." Grouse Ima while focusing on her work.

Ting

Surely just talked by Ima, Aldi has sent a message to him why he has not sent a report about Karina in the morning as usual. It's already nine in the morning and usually Ima call at eight in the morning Karina has come and immediately meet the client if not until the office at eight.

"Just got homongi. What am I supposed to answer?" Guman Ima felt upset just because he gave a reply to a message to his boss' assistant.
