Karma Durhaka's Wife
164. Not knowing yourself
Now, Ari is speechless knowing why her son came. At first he thought that Arya would come back home and leave the woman, but his guess was completely missed.
He never thought that his son would lower his self-esteem by pleading with him for the sake of a child he thought was not necessarily Aryan.
Ari is not sure if it is the granddaughter of the Mahesa family because while in a relationship with her son, the woman still lives at home with her husband. That is what makes him untouchable at all to feel pity or accept the woman who managed to influence his son to become a dissident.
Even thinking that most likely, the baby was not the offspring of his son, so it would never accept the woman as a daughter-in-law, despite being married to Arya.
Maybe if Arya is related to women who are single until they end up pregnant, the response will not be like this. He will definitely give his blessing and not be this hard on his son.
Ari Mahesa hates a woman who cheats on her husband for being worse than a prostitute and will never be accepted into her family. He thought it would only tarnish the family's good name.
For a few minutes there was no answer from Arya's desire It made the helpless looking man stiff and confused to return to talk. Arya this time again took advantage of the silence between them by seducing the father.
“Pa, my mistake is inexcusable. But, this time, help me to be happy for my wife who is about to give birth. I really need a job. Papa must know that I can't work rough."
Ari quite knows how his son has been performing so far which sometimes he often asked to help him when he was dizzy thinking about a lot of work in the office.
The man's feelings can not be lied to, the pain is indeed there because of his actions that humiliate the family.
However, Arya is the only son in the family. He does not want to see his son fall in the same hole, but also still hesitates to give power back to Arya.
For a moment he thought and got an idea in his head because as long as Arya was still the husband of the woman, it would never divert power.
Meanwhile, the figure of the woman who had just been silent was amazed by the husband who looked like it was very difficult to make a decision, so he was furious and chose to seduce her husband.
“Honey, please give your son a job. I'm sure Arya can definitely lead the company well. We've worked hard to get Arya to be the leader of the family company."
"Why make trouble this difficult?" rani said trying to seduce her husband who was still at home in silence.
Ari Mahesa sucked his gunshot scroll, then exhaled a white smoke into the air.
The rough-looking breath made Arya's heart beat twice as fast. He who had an idea in his head, now began to open his voice.
“So, now you understand with a mistake and regret?”
Again Arya nodded her head, a sign confirming everything said by the man with the intimidating glare.
“Iya, Pa. I admit I was wrong for what I did all this time. This time, I beg Papa to give a position in the company, so that he can take responsibility and learn from now on to be able to lead the company.”
“Alright, it's just, there's a condition. Are you ready to listen to the terms?” Ari now put the cigarette butts that are still smoked a little on the ashtray.
Doubtful, but this is the only way to get back in the family company. With complete confidence, Arya agreed to whatever conditions the father would say to her.
“I am ready to listen and accept the terms that Papa will mention. So, what condition does Papa mean?" asked Arya who is now waiting with a thumping feeling for fear if the conditions of the father are heavy.
Now, Ari Mahesa smiled and felt that her son was starting to be in her grasp. Satisfied, maybe it really represents his current feelings and now wants his son not to mess with his choices.
“Good, that's the answer I should have heard. You can return to the company with a position as an ordinary staff on the second floor. You're still not allowed to stay in this house for any reason."
"I'll help with your child's delivery later. For the salary you will receive, according to the salary of the company staff.”
Arya gulped her saliva roughly. Having a job is indeed the thing he awaits, but, how can the salary of ordinary staff suffice his life? He did not even know, the intent of ordinary staff was more precisely what the position as in the company.
Seeing his son who was still reluctant to open his mouth, Ari now urged his son to give a decision.
“How? If you are still hesitant to answer, you can just go out of here, and come back if you are sure. I will not force. After all, whatever your decision is, it's all you will live.”
It was true, all the decisions were in Arya's hands, she could only choose. Arya was silent for a long time, until when she felt that there was no other choice, the answer was finally given.
“Alright, Pa. I will work as a regular staff at a family-owned company and receive a salary as specified."
Despite agreeing to that, Arya still wondered about what part she would get. However, he did not dare to ask because he thought tomorrow would know.
Ari Mahesa now raised her thumb before her son whom she knew as though she was confused.
“Good. You can start work tomorrow. Remember that! Ordinary staff have rules no late word. At least eight o'clock, you're already there.” Still staring intensely at his son's face from earlier like confusion.
“Ehm .. can I get a vehicle to go to work, Pa?” ask Arya who is now trying to seduce the father to pity him and return the car.
He thought if later work should always take the bus, would make it really difficult. Moreover, working hours that will make him have to leave early in the morning and crammed with others, it makes him feel very lazy.
Even when imagining it alone, it makes him feel dizzy and lazy to do so.
Ari's reflexes are now immediately broken because they think their goodness is even used. He felt like a saying he often heard 'Dikasih heart ask heart'.
He would not let his son think that way. The goal is to turn Arya into a man who knows that things are not easy to get and need struggle.
“Look at you. Just got an advantage and now you have started not knowing yourself.”
