Lips Service ● Chapter 19

“My life is almost past half a century, and only this time saw a Telenovela drama like this,”, Diego said when he realized the presence of his wife beside him.

“Dad and Mom couldn't possibly accept that woman right?” sahut Zehra listened to his father.

“What's really why? The girl is an international model, also a member of the royal family in the UK. Isn't it nice to build a cooperation that will improve our company?”

Aishe's words that were beyond expectations managed to make them all turn their heads, looking at him. Everyone had astonished faces, including Diego, who had lived for decades with his wife.

Unusually, Aishe behaved like that. In fact, she used to not care when her husband's business partners approached her to be able to establish a business marriage. So, what made him behave like that?

“Diana, come down!” the Elder's cry still sounded loudly from below.

“No! Marry me, then I'll go down.”

Elder looks increasingly frustrated. Scars of fear mixed with anger, faintly drawn on his handsome face. For him, this was a difficult choice to make an instant decision. The elder who was still unable to ascertain his feelings, was naturally hesitant to agree.

But in the midst of that worry. A faint voice came from behind. The soft voice of a middle-aged woman he was very familiar with.

“Wedding is in too much of a hurry. Fiancee only first.”

Asihe's words made the Elder immediately look back. Staring at the face of the mother who was suddenly in the doorway.

“I-Mother?”

While holding hands, Aishe walked closer towards Diana. His gaze was straight, not looking at all. Even he passed by an Elder who stood in astonishment just like that.

“How? Engagement, do you want?” aishe asked while showing a sharp look at Diana.

“No problem if you mind, but that's all we can offer now,” continued Aishe casually.

“Only, you need to know one thing. Manipulating events ..it's very easy for us to do. So think about it.

Diana tried to swallow her saliva violently, while thinking of the words from Aishe. Think of a threat under the guise of an offer. It took at least a few seconds, until Diana finally gave an answer.

“Ba-alright, but I want the engagement today!”

“No problem. Get ready in an hour!”

After saying so, Aishe left the two of them. Diana immediately went down while putting on a sumringah face. Then ran to hug the Elder who still looked confused, irritated and also angry.

The unilateral decision from Aishe, naturally left everyone astonished. Including the husband, who immediately went up and waited for the wife to go down on the second floor.

“Darling, what are you doing?” ask Diego in a annoyed tone. No need to be asked the reason, of course it is because Aishe sacrificed the child with a unilateral decision.

Aishe seemed reluctant to comment. She even walked into the room without answering any questions from her husband. Diego, who was given a headache and was shrouded in curiosity by his wife's attitude, immediately followed Aishe inside.

“Ishe ... Dear!” call Diego soft.

But Aishe remained silent. He walked in a closet, took a dress and tried it. His attitude looked relaxed, as if nothing great had just happened. This, of course, made Diego more confused.

“Tell me, or at least, tell me what are you planning?”

Aishe's breathing was clearly heard in Diego's ear. “What makes you panic? They are only engaged,” Aishe replied casually.

There was no response from Diego after hearing an ambiguous answer from his wife. But Diego's expression of disappointment was clearly visible in Aishe's eyes. Seeing the face of the husband who accompanied her for 30 years, made Aishe feel pity.

Unable to see Diego's face, Aishe turned to face a mirror. “The company's condition is unstable,” he explained while removing the zipper of his shirt.

“If there is a little bad news, then our stock price decreases.”

Aishe's explanation made Diego take a deep breath. The old man's eyes were still fixed on the wife who was busy changing clothes. Slowly, his feet stepped up, helping Aishe raise the zipper of the shirt he had just replaced.

“It's been years, Honey. You still doubt? I'll handle it myself, no need to involve children.”

“I don't doubt your performance, Die. You're always an expert at anything, but what about Elder and Zavier?” Aishe looked into the mirror, looking at the reflection of the face of the husband standing behind her.

“Have you seen the company graph of your favorite child? He is not in a stable state.”

“He can definitely cope with that. If not, I will men—”

Not yet Diego continued his sentence, Aishe had already cut the conversation while turning to look at the face of the husband.

“What will? Donate funds and use your power?” Aishe.

“I don't care if he bankrupt one of your subsidiaries. But that ...that's the company he built with his own business, Die! He built it with hard work, even that stubborn boy did not use the name Gulbar to attract investors!”

“He works day and night to learn the property business, finding his own capital in his way, persuading investors without relying on the glory of his family. And if all that's ruined it's just a ridiculous scandal. Then I .. I as his mother will be more disappointed and hurt.”

“If you want to throw your children into battle, at least teach them combat tactics without making them disabled. It's not just how to hold a weapon and finish off an opponent!" exclaimed Aishe continued his words.

"But you? You never let your kids tackle small pebbles from outside the company! You always put up a body for them if related to problems outside the business! If so, when did they understand if a small pebble from the outside could also destroy a company?"

Each word is arranged into a sentence, issued with intonation and a vibrating tone. There are emotions, crying, pain, tucked into every explanatory sentence for the husband.

Diego's eyes widened after listening to the explanation from Aishe. It seemed, the explanation of the wife managed to make her narrow mind open all of a sudden. The words that ultimately made the man reflect on his attitude towards their children.

He who gives full attention so that his son can rise despite stumbling a large rock, but never cares about small pebbles that might hurt the child's feet.

He who always tried to make his children able to struggle in the business world, but forgot how to overcome outside factors that might be a trigger.

Have I lost an important moment?
