As the sun began to peak, the dining table was neatly arranged with several lunch menus that had been cooked by Elena.
Almost the entire family was at home that afternoon, except for Robert who went to work and Alana who was in school.
Elena very skillfully prepared lunch even though she preferred to do it alone, but Ameera insisted that her mother should remain assisted by a Household Assistant who only works part-time at the Ameera family's residence. Ameera called her Aunt Mary.
Ameera is nursing her little baby in the room, while Harumi accompanies Julie to watch her favorite show in the living room.
Occasionally Elena glanced at her daughter-in-law because the kitchen was adjacent to the living room so that it was easier for Elena to notice Harumi's behavior.
The middle-aged woman began to observe the habits of Harumi that she thought were not as she had known before.
Elena felt confused and astonished by Harumi's change.
The daughter-in-law looked cheerful, her face was always blushing and at breakfast this morning Harumi ate voraciously. Totally different from yesterday who always looked moody and more locked himself in his room.
While accompanying Julie, Harumi was sitting on the sofa looking like she was more focused on her phone.
Sometimes Elena sees Harumi smiling knots while staring at the screen of her phone, she did not even remove the phone since.
I don't know what and who is communicating with the Son-in-law so Harumi had forgotten to turn off the water tap in the bathroom sink below this morning. He almost put salt in a cup of tea.
Elena's suspicions grew stronger when she saw Harumi speaking in a quiet voice and secretly received a call on her phone an hour ago.
At first the woman wanted to throw away all the suspicions that made her even more upset.But, Harumi's attitude increasingly revealed awkwardness.
Elena was very sure, that the one who contacted her daughter-in-law was Liam.
The middle-aged woman took a deep breath and for a moment her gaze blankly stood up.
Being preoccupied with her thoughts, Elena barely paid attention to her finger as she was cutting tomatoes. Fortunately, Ameera prevented it.
With a worried expression of Ameera who just came out of the nursery, directly approached Elena "Mom, are you Ok ? you almost lost one of your fingers"
Apart from her daydream, Elena heard the anxiety in Ameera's voice "Oh God, I was daydreaming."
"It's better for Aunt Mary to finish it, after all Mom doesn't see on the table there's a lot of food. Don't overdo it, remember your health condition Ok" Ameera pulled her mother's arm towards the dinner table "Let's eat, after which Mom had to accompany me to the Shopping Center to buy some of Jamie's needs. Mom, you need refreshing."
Elena shook her head "No, I'm here, if I go out with you what about Julie and Jamie"
Ameera's eyebrows shot up "And there's Harumi and Aunt Mary. Dont Worry, Mama's here for vacation not cooking"
Ameera gently pushed her shoulder towards the chair and Elena finally agreed to her Daughter's invitation.
Harumi and Julie follow them to the dinner table.
The three also ate lunch with a voraciously while occasionally joking and Ameera always gave a relaxed chat full of humor so as to make the atmosphere at that time look fun.
Elena looked into Harumi's shining eyes as her son-in-law occasionally typed something on her phone that she believed Harumi was texting someone.
Elena was still trying to refrain from being too affected by her very erratic state because of seeing her daughter-in-law's attitude.

Paradise Mall California
Half an hour they had passed by traveling around the mall which is very spacious and so large.
Ameera looked happy to go around while carrying two shopping bags of her products at that time.
Paradise Mall is the latest Shopping Center in California, just three months the Mall has officially operated.
"Mom, I stopped by here first huh." Ameera seemed enthusiastic and impatient to enter a children's Clothing Store that was now in front of her. It was like heaven for her, because the mother of three children was very attentive to all the needs of her three children.
Elena nodded "Well, Mama to the Shop next door huh, wanted to wash her eyes a little" the woman smiled and they parted for a bit
Elena entered a Women's Clothing Store, she went around looking at various models of women's clothing that were in trend now.
The shop that was illuminated by the many crystal lights looked extremely luxurious, at first glance Elena looked at the price per piece of clothing that was hanging and it almost caused her shock because of how unreasonable the prices of all the clothes were.
Actually, Elena is not a woman who likes Shopping like Ameera, only she really likes all things about Fashion as well as other women. Elena never looked flashy, she always dressed modestly in nude colors. His long brown hair is always rolled back so that it shows the nape of his neck level. Although at this time some of his hair that has begun to whiten because of age, but it does not make him look old.
Elena still looks beautiful.
Finished walking around inside the store, Elena did not buy anything she decided to walk out the door.
But...
Oh God, does fate have to bring them back together.
The person Elena least wanted to meet on this earth, passed her by.
That's right, right at the time Elena was almost out of the store.
He meets Anita Seymour.
That woman was someone from her past.
Anita looked at Elena with a piercing look, at first she barely recognized Elena's face because it had been years since the two women had never met.
Even Anita had never heard from Elena again after the woman changed her identity.
"Well...Well..The cheap lady, Household Destroyer ! I can't believe I met you here." Anita smiled cynically she was almost like throwing dirt on Elena's face .
Elena was furious, she held back from not wanting to make a fuss here. The woman turned and did not want to serve Anita's chatter.
"For what a woman like you who is DIRTY and GROSS can set foot in an elite place. Do you realize this isn't your class, you're just a Dancer from the Night Club who can only sell himself to married Men and hope to earn a High-class Life. What A SHAME !!!" anita's loud voice is getting higher, he does not care if they are now the center of attention of the visitors in the Shop.
Elena's body trembled with a burning rage, she did not want to respond to all the insults Anita threw.
At first Elena could still be calm even though she was now at war between emotions and common sense.
Elena tried to strengthen herself, "Stop !!!" reply
Elena's resistance was only a last breeze for Anita, The woman laughed loosely at Elena's reaction which she thought was like an entertainment show "What ?! You wish I'd stopped here. No, no, I'm glad I finally saw you again Roseanne. PELACU* !!!"
Not only that, Anita's arrogant attitude skyrocketed. He made a louder voice and he purposely did so that everyone would notice him "LISTen ! I'LL TELL YOU WHO THIS WOMAN IS. SHE'S A PROSTITUTE*, LADY JALA*G, ANOTHER MAN'S HUSBAND'S SEDUCTIVE TEASER, SO REMEMBER WELL HER TORN FACE TO BE CAREFUL WITH THIS CHEAP WOMAN !!!!" Anita sadistically pointed at Elena's face while throwing a very painful insult and she laughed in satisfaction
For a moment Elena just stood there, looking at him silently. "Don't insult me !!!" his voice was hoarse and trembling. But he forced himself to keep talking.
Elena walked in quick steps, then with a hot heart. The woman approached Anita closer.
Then....
PLAAAKK !!
