REPLYING TO MY HUSBAND'S MISTRESS
207 Chapter.

"Are you sure he's the one? You didn't see it wrong, did you, Sarah?" fred Andrew with a tense face.

Sarah dropped her body on the chair, it felt like all these blows made her unable to even support her own legs.

"Norris ... Sarah's sure, Pa. He once came in front of Sarah and said that if he was the mastermind of everything, he came to demand revenge and would take everything he should have as he thought. And ... he said, there will be no one to stop him even if it is the police," Sarah replied in a trembling tone.

 Andrew was increasingly tense, throughout his life only this time the enmity and grudge that ingrained the true flesh appeared before him. Strong, cunning, ingenious and merciless. A very scary opponent.

"But how could he possibly be this strong? Papa remembers once he didn't even have any power when your parents kicked him out of the company. He relented and disappeared after that," murmured Andrew limp.

 Sarah stared blankly straight ahead. "Rudge, Pa. Revenge is the only thing that makes all this possible."

 Andrew nodded confirming, then after that was silent and dissolved in his mind.

"This is what Papa has been afraid of, everything your parents did now affects their children and grandchildren. If they weren't that crazy about treasure, it wouldn't be like this now." Andrew said softly, but still quite audible in Sarah's ear.

 Sarah stiffened hearing the in-law's words, her back held high with eyes staring intently.

"I mean papa?"

 Andrew took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.

"Well, that's how it is, son. I'm sorry if maybe Papa was impressed to doctrine you, but. Your parents ... once upon a time when you were a child, when Papa and Mama decided to leave the country to avoid competition. That's when your parents go crazy, seize and rob people of the rights and property of people who are subordinates or who have debts and liabilities to them. And it's their fault .. they did it all in a way that was ...inhuman," Andrew said.

The shadow of the massacre of innocent people that had happened before his eyes, which made him not think long to leave little Axel to his best friend who is an orphanage owner where Axel grew up.

"What did my parents do, Dad? Please tell Sarah to also know the reason behind the many people who hold a grudge against Sarah and Sarah's family." Sarah began to drop a clear grain from her eye patch.

 Andrew was just about to open his mouth when a moaning sound was heard from the bed where Axel was lying.

 "Aarrtghhhhhhh," he groaned.

Sarah quickly turned around, in her grip axel fingers were still cold and in the stick on her wet cheeks.Slowly, Sarah's hand moved rub the surface of Axel's face gently.

"Mas, wake up. This is Sarah, Mas woke up .. "wept Sarah pleaded.

 Andrew approached, then gently stroked Axel's arm anyway. His eyes looked teary.

"Son, wake up, Papa. Look how anxious your wife is waiting for you to wake up" he murmured bitterly.

 However, slowly Axel began to prank. And simultaneously the pain and pain immediately ambushed his wounded body, even though the wound has been cleaned and sewn but it will still feel pain, sore and hot.

"p-pa? S-dear ...."

 The sound of Axel resuscitated Sarah, quickly she brought her face closer to Axel's face and held the face with her two hands.

"Alhamdulillah, Ma? You awake? Are you conscious?" said vibrate.

 Axel blinked his eyes a sign yes.

"Pa, mas ax is aware of Pa." Sarah smiled happily with tears spilling on her cheeks.

 Andrew nodded and was also pleased with it, in his swipe Axel's arm was still lying weak as if giving him the strength to rise.

"Honey .. child," muttered Axel could not continue his speech because his voice was choked withstanding the tremendous pain in his wounded chest.

 Sarah understood that she immediately responded and held Axel's fingers tightly.

"Relax, Mum. The kids are safe, they're home with Mama."

 Axel blinked in relief, looking from the look of his eyes that were no longer worried.

"Papa call the doctor first, so that your condition is checked," said Andrew immediately moved away to call the doctor who handles his child.

 After Andrew left, Sarah sat next to Axel as before. His smile began to spread with a relieved heart and flowers because the idol had regained consciousness.

"Thank God, Mom. You finally realized, too, I was so scared."

 Axel turned his head to face Sarah, wanting her to get up but the pain all over her body made her undo the intention.

"Mas will always try to be there for you, baby."

 Sarah smiled happily, but soon the smile disappeared if she remembered the news of Satrio's passing that she should have told Axel after he woke up. But considering Axel's condition has not improved properly z makes Sarah undo that intention until later when Axel is healed and more ready to hear the news.

"Darling? Are you daydreaming? Is there something you're thinking?" ask Axel slowly.

 Sarah flinched and immediately changed her facial expression, curling a smile so as not to be seen hiding something from Axel.

"Ah, no Mas. I only remember the children, but Papa said he had added people who were watching at home. Hopefully that way no one will be able to harm our families anymore" said Sarah.

 Looks Axel sighed deeply, before finally staring at the netra of his beloved wife.

"Do you know .. who attacked Mas that time?" axel asked with an earnest look.

 Sarah flinched again, this time she failed to hide her facial expression from her husband. To make Axel realize the change in the face of the wife who looked surprised.

"Ah, if that ... it is still investigated by the police, Mas," Sarah said without looking at Axel.

 Axel smiled slightly, he actually already knew that there was something Sarah had hidden from him. But he also knew that Sarah had a good reason for it.

"Is that right?".

 Sarah nodded doubtfully, still not wanting to look at Axel who seemed to be investigating her.

"Her knife was very sick, Mas even wanted to cry if he remembered the pain. Mas tried to survive, but .. he was too brutal until finally Mas fell and lost by him. One thing you should know, baby. Mas had seen the face of the perpetrator of the attack, and Mas still can not be thought of with the reality."

 But the bald man who was sucking nicotine was just silent did not respond.

"Sir, if I may give advice .. shouldn't we move fast? To make all your goals faster?" smith again.

 The bald man snorted, then turned his great chair and looked straight at his men who had been feeling constantly dictating to him.

"And you're gonna accept every consequence we're gonna have if we run your stupid idea?"

 His men immediately lowered their heads, no longer daring to look at the bald man's face.

"Ma-I'm sorry, my master just ...."

"Yes yeah, I know you actually care about me. But take it easy, even if the path I choose seems dangerous, believe me ... I have thought about it carefully, there will be nothing to lose if you are willing to follow my way. " Balding man grinning.

 His men nodded back. "Sure, sir no one doubts your ingenuity."

"Better now prepare everything, we will make a surprise for the family again ... tonight."

 A sneaky grin was on her thick lips in the bald man who had a scar under his eyes. The scar, which he will never forget because he got it.

 Meanwhile .

"Where, Mi? A pi? Can A Hendro work at our place? Pity he has no brothers or acquaintances here, Mi. Only Aish was the only one he knew, and it just so happened that we accidentally met earlier if it was not possible somehow the fate of A Hendro out there," aish persuades his parents to convince him to accept Hendro to work for their family.

 Amelie and Ed who still looked surprised by what happened, could only look at each other in confusion. While in front of him, Hendro who was the topic of conversation continued to bow down. His legs were tight because he was nervous, while his fingers had not stopped squeezing each other.

"Neng Ai, already if your parents do not ngizinin not forced. Aa don't papa find odd jobs outside, just" whispered Hendro unpleasantly.

 But Aish did not budge, he now moved from his seat and walked closer to his parents, then without aba he sat in the middle of them.

"Mommy, what was Papi thinking about earlier? Aish awaits Mami's decision with Papi loh," muttered Aish staring alternately at Amelie and Ed.

 Ed took a deep breath, then swallowed his saliva.

"Ah, Papi just .. still confused how to. Really, this is too surprising," kekeh Ed with a discordant tone, stealing the lyrics towards Hendro who has since looked restless and unsettled.

"Yes, Mami is also confused about how to behave now," said Amelie while holding her temple.

"T- don't think about it, sir, Mom. I'm fine if not accepted," between Hendro quickly, the look on his face showed great reluctance.

"It can't, A. In the old village of Aa who always helped Aish, now the time Aish who helped Aa," interrupted Aish quickly.

 Hendro is going awry now, especially now that Ed is paying attention to him more intensely after hearing the word Aish just now.

"really so? So ... which you often tell first when you still live in the village there is someone who becomes your friend and always intervenes to help you at every opportunity?" amelie asked when she remembered some of the stories Aish had told her when she had just called Amelie Mami.

. Aish nodded vigorously, his eyes radiating hope that his request that Hendro be accepted to work in their home could be accomplished.

 Ed also looks mangosteen now, after being examined by Hendro's tall and strapping body can bring its own benefits for him.

"All right, if that's the case. True my son said, it is appropriate that we repay your kindness when Aish was in the village first," said Ed friendly, said, his intention began to be friendly because since then he even put a jutek face in front of Hendro that made the dark-skinned strapping man wrong his own behavior.

"Really, Pi?" exclaiming Aish who began excitedly, Ed was happy to see back the smile of his daughter a who has now reappeared after the last few days only tears were visible.

 Ed shuffled Aish's hair and nodded. "Yes, right. Shouldn't be?"

 Aish smiled cheerfully, even to express her small sense of happiness she immediately hugged Amelie and smiled.

"I'm sorry, sir are you not wrong? Sorry, I mean .. I'm just a high school graduate, sir. Is it possible that I work with Mr?". sidelines Hendro told.

 Ed flicked his hands slowly, then sat back with a more relaxed face and influenced the atmosphere that had been tense to be more relaxed and comfortable.

"It's okay, after all, your diploma doesn't have to be either. "

 Sontak Hendro was wide-eyed, even though he thought just now he would be put to work in the family-owned company Aish. Yes, although he also did not expect much anyway, so ob actually he wanted as long as his salary is certain and he can send that to the father who is currently lying sick in the village.

"Sorry before, if you may know .. what job do you mean?" asked Hendro to be bold

 Ed smiled meaningfully, then the scene switched to the next scene.

*

"Can you bring a car?"

"Can" said Hendro confident, because thinking maybe he will be offered a job as a driver of the family. And that was good enough for him who did not have any work experience at all.

 Ed chuckled, pleased with the spirit of the young man beside him. He also unconsciously embraced Hendro's shoulder and patted him slowly.

"If you think I'm going to make you a driver, you're wrong. The driver was there, and that was my beloved wife's choice. His name is Sutrisno, later you can make coffee together if you no longer work m," kekeh Ed again.

Making Hendro increasingly scratch his head because confused with the intention and purpose of Ed took him to walk around his house like a palace. The house he built with the results of his own payan and sweat droplets.

"If you take care of the garden and clean clean you can?" ed asked again, picking a ripe tomato of a tree nearby and immediately eating it with pleasure.

 "Can, Sir. If this is my champion, my father happens to be in the village as well as a vegetable growing business and sent to the city every day, so the problem of planting and caring for plants is God willing I can," replied Hendro displaying width, because this one is his expertise in addition to training his muscles and butung chirping pet.

 Ed again gave a smile, but his smile still seemed mysterious and made Hendro honestly even a little afraid.

"But, unfortunately, this is not the plant I was referring to. Come with me, I show you the plants you have to take care of well and properly later."

 Hendro resigned, even though in his heart asked what plants Ed meant, in his heart he did not forget to pray that it was not the ancient plants eating meat that would make him stay in name later.
