"Can't you appreciate the time, you're letting us wait for an insignificant person like you" the first greeting Dio got straight from his half-brother Elvan.
"Don't make a fuss Elvan, Papa please cooperate today" Abhimanyu said directly glancing at Elvan sharply.
"Dio, Marion. Thank you for coming. Papa is glad you guys want to attend this party" Abhimanyu said with a faint smile.
"It doesn't have to be Pa, we're family. So it's only natural that we do this" Karin said because Dio was silent.
"Well, since you've arrived, when does the show start? All the guests must have been waiting" Rossi said.
"We'll do it now, Dio today Papa will introduce you and your brother to Papa's business partner, hopefully you don't mind" Abhimanyu looked at Dio who had a cold face.
"Whatever Papa is right" said Dio though reluctant but he was lazy to argue.
Abhimanyu seemed happy to hear the approval from Dio, he then walked out of the room first to the hotel Ballroom, Rossi as usual immediately holding his husband's hand in the company of Elvan and his wife, followed by Elvan, dio and Karin. But Karin was again astonished when she saw Elvan's gaze which was always strange to see him.
Karin did not want to think about it, she just stared straight with her chin raised. She must appear elegant as the wife of an Ardio Abhimanyu Putra.
The presence of the big family was immediately welcomed enthusiastically by the invited guests because they were curious who the figure of the heir of the Abhimanyu family. Many people were amazed when they saw the look of that upper-class family.
"Good night everyone, on my fifty-year anniversary. I want to say a big thank you to the creator who has given me a long life and health so that I can stand here to welcome you. At this event as well, I will introduce my two sons who will be my successors" Abhimanyu said opening the event with his charismatic voice.
Elvan and Dio immediately went on stage as Abhimanyu mentioned their names. Immediately boisterous applause when he saw the appearance of the future heir to the wealthy family. Moreover, the faces of both of them are equally handsome to make women there fascinated, especially when looking at the face of Dio who is cold but very charming.
The event was soon followed by a more relaxed event. Dio was still invited by Papa Abhimanyu to talk with his colleagues to make Karin alone there, but he did not bother, he was also quite flexible to talk to businesswives who accidentally invited him to chat.
"Oh, here apparently the woman does not know this shame" Rossi's voice was heard approaching Karin who was chatting lightly with one of the women.
Karin glanced at Rossi and Renata lazily, to let alone these two cunning women, he thought.
"Jeng Rossi, Finally can meet too, where did Jeng kok never follow the arisan again" said the woman who had invited to chat Karin.
"Obviously, you know for yourself how busy I am, Moreover, Elvan's Papa just opened a new branch" said Rossi gave a cipika cipiki to his social friends.
"Suami jeng is very cool, oh yes, Jeng really did not say the hell that Elvan had a sister, where his sister is very handsome so, it is okay if it is known to my son" said the socialite woman.
Rossi smiled a little cynically and glanced at Karin who was just silent. "You seriously want to have a son-in-law like that child, I tell you, that child is not my husband's legitimate child, He just wants to take the inheritance from his Father Elvan" rossi said he wanted to provoke Karin.
Karin was still silent even though her chest was rumbling with emotion when she heard her husband being despised like that.
"Tante can't do that, pity you tan. Here there is his wife too, later he cried again after this event" Renata who had been silent since then now asked to make Karin embarrassed.
"Wife? So the boy already has a wife, he also brought his wife here. I don't know what the hell shame is, which one is it?" said the woman again. It seemed like the three of them were the type of people who liked to gossip about others.
"That's next to Aunt, certainly has no shame, she's the same as her husband who likes to seize the rights of others. After all, a woman like her would need a lot of money for her facial care, look. Her face was so beautiful no, her hands were smooth this way" said Renata walking around Karin and raising her hand with a mocking expression.
Rossi and his friend seemed to smile happily when they managed to humiliate Karin.
"You're right baby, I'm sure, he must have spent a lot of money to operate on this face. Hey, lady, how much did Dio give you until you wanted to be his wife?" rossi said he was insulting Karin.
Now even some of his social friends seem to be staring at Karin with expressions of dislike.
Karin clenched her hands, she glanced at Dio who seemed to be still busy with her Papa. He must be calm and do not be provoked to make a scene here.
"Ah, Mama is right. My husband always spends his money to please me. Having a rich husband should be used, right? Just like Mama who likes to use Papa" said Karin with his leisure.
"You know women don't know themselves" Rossi said, quite emotionally hearing Karin's words.
"Oh Ma, Mama don't have to pretend like that. Not that Mama remembered that in fact Mama was also a child from a simple family. If only Mama hadn't trapped Papa, maybe right now Mama wouldn't be here" Karin said looking at Rossi with a look of pity making Rossi very emotional, how Karin could have known, she thought.
Fortunately, Papa Abhimanyu has told her about the complicated relationship between Papa and Mama Sofi in the past. Now he's quite content to be able to use that weapon to avenge Mama Rossi.
"Don't talk carelessly, you're the one who should be ashamed, your husband is just an illegitimate child" Renata said in defense of her mother-in-law, she tightly gripped Karin's hand.
Karin was a little surprised, she immediately released her hand from the entanglement Renata then took the antiseptic in her bag and sprayed it on the new hand on the touch Renata as if she wanted to remove all the bacteria that Renata left on her skin.
Renata and the others were shocked to see Karin's behavior. He was furious because Karin thought it was like dirt.
"Huh, Sister-in-law. Looks like you're dirtying my hand. I'm sorry I had to clean it, my husband really doesn't like it when my skin gets dirty" Karin said, throwing her handkerchief away gracefully, putting on her really annoying face.
Renata pushed forward to slap Karin, but Rossi immediately prevented him.
"Why not, Brother wants to slap me? Go ahead, but you know what my position here is?" whispered Karin throwing her cynical smile made the two women emotional but also helpless.
