Just Being a Doll Wife
203. Consciousness Came?

The Andalusian State House Mall.

When viewed from the outside, it looks calm. Because it only looks the servants who are active. No presence of the President was detected.

Some servants whispered amongst themselves, gossiping that the hostess had actually been found, but still did not want to go home, spread among the servants. Some feel sorry for the President, but more support the decision of the madam. Moreover, the story of beating the mistress into a lip that spread from one mouth to another. It is predictable, who the main source of the rumor circulated in the parents' house Ibram.

Although their little hearts were embarrassed, because all this time they could only pretend not to see, their sympathy never turned into empathy.

When Ibram's car arrived in front of the gate, the main gatekeeper directly contacted the butler. And as the car squeaked in the parking area, the butler had already walked out in a hurry.

The garden lights are on, the moonlight falls between the trees. Ibram rubbed his head, then sighed. He was ready to go to war with his father. The envelope containing the divorce papers was already in his hands, the mother had even signed it. Whatever happens later, he has to get his father to sign this divorce papers.

"Young Master, finally, you're home." The butler was stammeredly welcoming, from his face emanated tired. But Ibram doesn't care about anything. To him, the people living in this house were all followers of the father, and he was fed up with all of them. "Great master..."

"Where is he? Where's the President?"

Calling him a father only, has made Ibram feel careless at this time.

"Tu, the great master is in the room, he has not been out of the room for a few days."

Ibram's footsteps stopped, not just from hearing the butler's words, but the pile of items in front of him. Two cardboard boxes and one painting wrapped in a blue cloth. What the hell is this Ibram thinks. If your employer locked yourself in a room, then you are not working.

"What'sthis? Why are you leaving stuff scattered here."

The butler looked hesitant, he was at a loss to explain where it came from.

Everything had gone awry since the return of the great master that night. The bodyguards said the madam had been found, but finally the great master returned empty-handed. His attitude was still filled with anger as he walked into the room that night. Even the great master could not control his emotions and slammed the items in the room. The meaning that he had somehow addressed to whom was thrown repeatedly.

And the next morning, when these things come. He fell on the sofa, clutching his phone. Not saying a word, finally, the great master did not go to work, but instead shut himself in the room. Only her butler was allowed to enter, even so she was not allowed to clean up the scattered rooms.

The butler was trying to string an explanation in his head based on all the events he saw.

"Why keep quiet, sir? What's this stuff?" Ibram kicked one of the boxes, keeping the butler awake from his daydream.

"This, this is a gift returned by the President of Andez Corporation through his secretary." He answered quickly because of surprise.

"What?"

During this time, although the business deal was not established, because the CEO of Rionald decided everything, but Ibram's father still continued to approach Rion's father. They still greet each other, even several times Ibram's father sent gifts. Like at the launch of the company's promo film. They also played golf several times. Business relationships that hopefully will continue to be established, who knows, in the future will change. That's what Ibram heard from his father's explanation, why he still shamelessly approached Andez Corporation.

And all those gifts were returned?

"Who's driving?"

"Secretary of the President of the Andez Corporation delivered this directly. We refused, but he insisted. And the secretary of the President of Andez Corporation said, from now on, there is no longer a relationship between Andez Corporation and Andalusia Mall. What is it Young Master?"

Ibram clenched his hands. Remember the words of the CEO of Rionald at that time.

"Vidio was taken by Serge, if you want to sue your father please, if you need witnesses, I will allow Serge to testify. I'm not helping you because I like you, so don't get me wrong. I'm helping your mother, because she's my wife's mother's friend." Words that sounded cold and indifferent at that.

It turned out that he had done so far, until he complained to his father. Apparently, CEO Rionald is not as cold as his attitude. She cares about me, even though she knows she's my mom.

And hisfather. Huh! Ibram sighed because he remembered, he also seemed to get a slap when he saw Vidio interview his father the CEO of Rionald. Ibram also knew for sure, that the President of Andez Corporation must have hated his father's behavior. As a man who loves his family. He broke off the relationship firmly like this.

Ibram grabbed the painting cover cloth, opened the painting cover cloth.

"Is the President angry after Andez Corporation returned this?" Or is he embarrassed? Ibram was wondering what his father's current situation was like. Confined in the room, it was strange to see how the character of his father had been.

The butler looked down. He seemed to still hesitate to say everything, as he spoke without permission like this.

"Jawab Sir! My mood is very bad. So don't make me even more upset."

No Erla, no mother. Since then, Ibram has been trying to control the mind to stay sane and not provoked.

"Sorry, sorry Young Master. Um, that, that... The great lord called the President of Andez Corporation, as if he felt humiliated and angry that suddenly the gift he had given was returned, but after they spoke on the phone for quite a long time, the big master fell to his feet on the sofa. Face pale. Then he went into the room, and did not come out until today. I don't know what the President of Andez Corporation is talking about, but it seems to take a hit on the big master."

Whatisthis?

Ibram was like a bewilderment, concluding what was really going on. Is dad hurt because the gift he's been hard-earned back? Father who still dreams of rivaling Gardenia Pacific Mall through employee dormitories, should throw away the dream? Or, what was he talking about with the President of Andez Corporation? Did President Andez Corporation talk about the mother's beating? Change of questions popping up in Ibram's head.

A long breath sounded

Previously, Ibram would immediately attack fiercely. But, for some reason, now Ibram can't shout loudly at his father. He chose to sit on the sofa. Think, do what now.

...🍓🍓🍓...

It was at his father's doorstep. Ibram still stands. The words of the butler again.

"Sorry Young Master, but don't hate your father too much. I know he's guilty, but... " Stammered, yet at length the butler spoke. "Pardon us too, me and the servants who have been silent for a long time."

Turns out, this is a vicious circle passed down on you father. Fathers who were born and grew up in a hard family, get an education that is arguably cruel from grandfather. Temperamental grandfather, treat Grandma casually. And like the cycle of life that repeats, what you learn from your parents, you do in your married life. For him there is nothing wrong, this is the attitude of a head of the household.

And I did that too. Ibram's clenched hand hit the wall. If God does not save himself, it could be that his children will be similar to him later, like he who is not much different from his father.

Erla, thank you, thank you for saving my life.

"I told you, no one can come in!" The screams mixed with vibrating sounds rang out, making Ibram jump. "Get out!"

"It's me..."

"Ibram?"

Ibram groped the wall, he stepped on something.

Blars! Lights on. A dazzling light that instantly struck the eyes, making Ibram squint. The room was like a broken ship, and this whole thing murmured Ibram in shock as he looked at the figure of the man sitting on the edge of the bed.

He is not like his father, a strong-bodied man who despite his age has eaten it, but the father has been very concerned with appearance. You could say, dad still looks handsome at his age. But what he saw now, an old man with sunken eyeballs who didn't even shave his mustache and beard.

"Well! Whatisthis? Is dad crazy?"

In the past, Ibram said this presumptuously, he must have beaten his father. But now, like a dying man, the man just fell silent.

"What's going on? Is this because President Andez Corporation returned all of my gifts?"

Silent, only his father's blank stare saw Ibram.

"Where's your mother?"

As if awake, at the main goal. Ibram's eyeballs widened, some attacking his sanity node. He gets upset when he looks for his mother.

"Mother lives with me and Erla, I came to warn you, don't you dare to see my mother again. Yesterday, was the last time I'd ever met my mother." The sound of shaking held in anger. Ibram recalled, Vidio that Serge had given him. "I have a divorce letter that my mother has signed. I'm signing."

"No! Who would divorce your mother!" Dad got up from his seat, lunging towards Ibram. He pushed the man up to the wall with his collar choked. "You're getting brazen huh!"

Anger that always makes Ibram creeps, and if his father had spoken like that, he could only bow down and follow his father's orders.

"Give my wife back!"

Plaque! Ibram's hand brushed off his father's hand, which strangled his neck.

"Why? So that you can hit my mother again." Ibram thrust his phone that turned Vidio in front of his father. "For God's sake, I don't want to."

Ibram's father's hand shook, he retreated away, and fell down leaning against the bed.

"CEO Rionald gave me this Vidio, it seems like he also gave it to his father huh. Until his father returns all your gifts. Now, are you being embarrassed and humiliated because of all the harmonic family theatrics you're getting caught fake." Sinis. "What did President Andez Corporation say to you?"

Ibram's father was holding his buzzing head. During these few days, the words of the President of the Andez Corporation were like ghosts chasing after him, even down to the realm of his dreams. Vidio the interview that he used to watch was ordinary, inexplicably appearing in his memory to be a slap that repeatedly scratched the fur of his heart. How can you treat your child's mother like that. The woman who sacrificed her life for your family. I'm so ashamed, to have a friend like you. Now, never say hello to each other. Assume we don't know each other. What a pity for your wife and children. The bee-like voice danced on his head, lunging at his chest making him tight and having trouble breathing. Moreover, the President of Andez Corporation sent Vidio that. When he beat his wife, along with a barrage of disappointed messages. He was humiliated, angry but also ashamed.

"Why? Wh why? Your mother never protested, why? Why did he leave now, after all this time. He used to smile even if I treated him like anything."

Ibram seemed to see himself in those days.

"Dad, what's your chest tight and filled with guilt, what's your heart hurting right now, when you think about mom? When counting, how many times did you hit your mom? When you see your hand, you feel like you want to cut it off because of guilt?"

"Stop!"

"Are you scared when you think about it, you open your eyes there is no mother next to you. It's not for a week or two weeks, but forever. Because after you're divorced, I won't let you see mom."

"Stop!"

"My relationship with you, now just left behind, the relationship of the Chairman and CEO of the company."

The more Ibram's father screamed, the more Ibram heated up.

"Stop Ibram, stop it, I beg you." Ibram's father hit his own chest. "Don't talk anymore." The tightness in his chest every thought of his wife's face, making it hard to breathe.

It was so similar, I looked at myself at the time. When the guilt stuck in my chest. Pain, pain is all Ibram felt first. Now, dad feels it. Is this also a sign, is this some kind of signal, that you can change. Ibram wants to give up hope, but, if Erla didn't give him a chance, his life would be ruined.

And now, he didn't want to trust his father, but, what if that hope did exist, just like he used to.

"Do you want to apologize to me?" Eventually, Ibram chose to become Erla, giving his father a second chance. "Will you beg and kneel for forgiveness?"

"Will your mother forgive me?"

I will forgive you, either because of my love for you, or because of my affection for my children. Mom looked at her father who looked very pitiful.

"But don't be big-headed! Because I'm watching dad! Even if you forgive you, you have to fight for your happiness. Because if I do a little, I hurt mom. I don't care about the name of the company, I must've dragged you to the police station."

A voice that contained absolutely no doubt, Ibram had already established his heart. Even if he had to sacrifice, that was what he would do. To pay for the sacrifice of the mother, who had been suffering all this time to protect her and her sisters.

Cover

The two of them, sitting next to each other on the sofa. The scattered items had not been cleared, the butler came in just to give away the laptop. Then he came out again, with a slightly calmer heart.

Apparently, both father and son, re-watching, President Andez Corporation interview, when talking about his wife and children. The interview that managed to slap the cheeks of the two men.

Seriate

From the family it all began, hopefully we can be a family that teaches love in the next generation💖🍓
