My Last Wedding Chance
Chapter 134 One Step Closer

Meanwhile, in the middle of a meeting with her subordinates, Anita kept thinking about her meeting with Elena.

It was as if there was a lot of stuff filling his brain. Things from the past that continue to haunt are now increasingly strong to burst out and pull him back.

Anita orders a bodyguard to keep an eye on Elena. And report all the latest information about the woman.

For Anita, this will be her chance to get rid of Elena. Removing that woman from her life. As the deeper he looked, the stronger the thorn pierced him.

***

Harumi took a glass of water from the kitchen and rushed to her mother-in-law's bedroom. He was concerned about Elena's condition, after he returned from his trip with Ameera.

Elena's body dropped and was weak, but after an hour she took the medicine. Slowly his condition underwent changes.

After Anton receives a call from Ameera, Elena's son looks very anxious, panicked and immediately rushed to the Mall.

But, fortunately Ameera quickly gave the drug, drugs that are always routinely consumed and never forget to take Elena.

Elena's heart was indeed very weak especially if she had to receive a lot of mind pressure that was very energy and mind consuming, especially if she had to accept a lot of mind pressure, the middle-aged woman's condition would be easily weakened even if she was a little late Elena would experience a more severe condition.

Ameera insisted on taking her mother to the Hospital, to be treated directly by an Expert Doctor.

But, Elena refused firmly. The woman was stubborn, Elena preferred to rest at home instead.

After two hours he lay down and fell asleep in his room. Now, his condition began to slowly return to normal even though the remnants of fatigue were still visible on his face.

Elena leaned her body on the bed, wearing cotton underwear while looking at the TV.

Then, he saw Harumi open the door and enter the room while carrying a glass of water.

Anxiety was clearly drawn on his daughter-in-law's face. "How's Mama's condition ?" Harumi put the glass on the nightstand. Then, he sat on the edge of the bed right next to Elena.

Elena looked at me and said a smile, "Good, God's blessing has always protected me."

Harumi stared at him for a moment, powerless to hide the anxiety from her misty eyes. Elena understood that "Don't worry, don't think too much. It's gonna be okay"

"Ma, drink first. Does anyone want you to eat ? I'll make it later." Harumi took the glass and gave it to Elena

Slowly the middle-aged woman took a sip and finished the water that was inside the glass "well, fresh once" with a casual smile Elena stared at the empty glass

"No need for Rumi. Mama's condition is fine. Mama is still full. Oh yeah, where's Anton ?"

Harumi's eyelashes lifted and the anxiety-induced smile gradually faded after seeing Elena's seemingly normal reaction "Anton went out, he said to the Pharmacy buying some vitamins for mama"

"Rumi, can I ask you something very personal ?"

His eyebrows shot up "Well ? What's up, Ma ?"

Elena was silent for a few seconds, then a second later she took a breath and looked at her daughter-in-law "Is your relationship with Anton okay ?"

Harumi's face looked startled and both of her eyes opened wide "Well, we're fine" a hesitant-sounding answer

Elena frowned "Rightly ? I'm sorry if Mama gets too involved in your domestic affairs, only I just feel like you guys are so far away that I rarely even see you guys chatting with each other. You're really like two strangers who don't know each other."

Harumi tries to rack her brain to find reasons so that Elena does not explore too deeply about her relationship with Anton who is getting worse.

Given her mother-in-law's fragile condition, Harumi doesn't want to hurt Elena. "Trust, Ma. We're doing just fine. It's just. Anton is busy with his work, he must keep control of all the projects in his office even though he is on leave."

Harumi realized that the more she lied, the more she would torture herself. Because the woman realized that Harumi was not good at hiding lies.

Her in-laws exhaled heavily "Ok, I believe in you guys. I hope you can stay together until death do you part, 'cause Mama just wants you guys to live happily side by side." Tetiba Elena grabs the hand of her Son-in-law and grabs it with tenderness "Anton loves you so much, Rumi. I know my Son well, although he is very stubborn, his ambition is high. But, deep down inside Anton's heart is a good man. It's just that a lot of it has been through in life. That's what makes him stupid in being sweet to women. So please be patient with him. "

Harumi was stunned, a great turmoil was pounding in her heart. Between guilt and sadness is mixed.

It's the hardest thing Harumi has faced in her life, living an unhappy marriage, accepting all the harsh realities, feelings that are beginning to change.

All squeezing him simultaneously, filled the air space in his breathing stream. Even breathing air was difficult for him.

Accepting the fact that it is impossible for Harumi to disappoint her mother-in-law's request, especially given her current condition.

Harumi was at the end of the road, hovering in the air somewhere the wind would take her later. All seemed hazy misty, his gaze empty with various overflowing anxieties.

Harumi did not give much of a response, she just nodded her head slowly and did not say a word.

"The most important thing now is your health. You also need to rest a lot and do not forget to eat. I'm gonna cook your mama's favorite food."

Harumi restrained herself, then she stood up to give time for the mother-in-law to rest.

Not long after, Julie went into the room. The adorable little girl ran up, climbed into the bed and hugged her grandmother.

"Granny !" yells

Harumi leaves the two of them together, as she leaves the room.

"Oh yeah, who sent that parcel last night ? Did you find the name of the sender ? "

Harumi's hand almost grabbed the doorknob and stopped, she froze. His eyes were raised and his eyes were wide.

Harumi knew that her in-laws were there when the parcel came.

Harumi turned around and with a flat expression "Only a delivery from an old friend, I almost forgot to order things on her."

Elena was silent for a while, then finally gave a small grin "ooh"

***

The time almost shows at dawn, the night is getting thicker.

Anton woke up from his sleep, the man who had fallen asleep on the sofa felt his throat dry.

He tried to lift his body even though it was very heavy for him to open his eyes.

The man was thirsty, he got off the couch. He intended to go out of the room to the kitchen to drink a glass of water from the refrigerator.

Anton stepped towards the door, the man did not see Harumi in his bed. Well, the bed looked empty.

The suddenness made him wonder, then with a little blur because his eyes were still sleepy. Anton looked at the wall clock, repeatedly rubbing his eyes.

His forehead wrinkled, as he learned that at that time the time showed 2 am.

He felt a sense of awkwardness, because Harumi was not in his bed at this hour.

But, Anton tried to open his mind that his wife might be feeling the same way. Maybe Harumi was in the kitchen.

The man took a breath and continued his steps out of the room.

Arriving in the kitchen, both Anton's eyes scan the entire corner but he does not find Harumi there.

It made him a little worried, but Anton did not want negative thoughts to bother him and then he wagged his head to throw away all bad things.

Maybe Harumi was in the bathroom, she thought.

As he opened the refrigerator door, Anton heard the voice of someone who was talking quietly. She faintly heard from the kitchen, it seemed like the sound was not far from there.

Due to such intense curiosity, he followed the direction of the voice. Due to the very quiet conditions of the night, anything that sounded would be clear even if the sound was slow.

Slowly Anton stepped carefully, not forgetting to pick up a knife he found in the kitchen just in case.

The worst possibility is that the sound could have come from someone who wanted to commit a crime and could have attacked him at any time.

And Anton is quite prepared to face any attack.

The direction of the voice was increasingly heard, although Anton could not be sure what the person was talking about.

The sound came from the terrace in the backyard not far from the kitchen.

Grasping the knife was very strong, tension built up on his back. Moreover, an extremely silent atmosphere enveloped the moment that was so intensely overpowered him. Anton took a deep breath, as he was about to open the glass door.

Anton was surprised by what he saw from behind the transparent glass door, his eyes widened and it turned out that sound...
