The Bride of the Curse Repellent
Mother-in-law's Real Face

"Madam, Miss Cleopatra has arrived" said Uncle Will to Ariana who is currently sitting relaxed while reading a beauty magazine.

"Good, get him here!" tell Ariana with a happy smile. Cleo's arrival had been waiting for him.

"Okay, Madam."

Not long after Uncle Will left, Cleo came with a paper bag in her hand.

"Mama Ariana!" greet Cleo with a smile. He also immediately approached Ariana and embraced it, and gave kisses on the right and left cheeks that women often do when meeting. Although not officially a son-in-law, Cleo always called Ariana 'Mama', because of the familiarity and similarity of their tastes both on every thing.

"Mama, this is a gift for Mama!" cleo said as he handed over the paper bag he had brought.

"Wahh ... What is this?" asked Ariana who unequivocally received the item. It had been a long time between them giving gifts to each other was common.

"This is a handmade bag that is trending this season. Some time ago I received an advertising offer, and I got the bag from a sponsor. I remembered that the model and color of the bag fit the taste of Mama Ariana, so I gave her the bag! Does Mama like it?"

Ariana peeked a little, she could tell if what Cleo all said was true. He loved the color of the bag. "Yes, mom loves it! Thank you, Ariana! Mama will definitely wear this bag!"

"Haha, equally. Uhmm ... oh yeah, where's Vicky? She didn't see me, was she not home?" cleo asked, looking to the left.

"Yes, Vicky was outside. He said he wanted to meet with potential investors."

"Ah, so is it. What about Sherina?" ask Cleo again.

"Haiss ..he was absolutely outrageous, morning to noon he kept following Vicky. Then when he came home he locked himself in the room. She had no intention of greeting me at all, it seemed like she had forgotten herself. Though only a surrogate, but she acted like this hostess!" gerutu Ariana with the look of his face that looks upset.

"really? Though if you look around, she seems like an innocent woman. I didn't expect that she would ignore and be rude to Mama Ariana like this" Cleo chirped with a feigned expression of concern. He did deliberately say it all for the sake of inciting Ariana to increase dislike of Sherina.

"You're right, Cleo! I can't let him get any more insolent! I had to teach him a lesson so he would be aware of his status!"

Right now Cleo was like cheering inwardly. The plan to heat up Ariana apparently went smoothly. "Mama, I have a plan!"

"really? Whatisit? Tell me quickly!" pinta Ariana was impatient. Cleo came closer and whispered to him.

TOK TOK!

"Hm?" Sherina looked up as soon as she heard the knock on the door. He closed the book of the novel he was reading. Then he opened the door to find out who was going to meet him. And apparently that guy was Uncle Will.

"Mrs Sherina was asked to come down and see the big lady" replied Uncle Will.

For a moment Sherina was silent, thinking what kind of possibility her mother-in-law was looking for. "Alright, please Uncle Will show me the way!"

"Okay, let's follow me."

Sherina follows Uncle Will's path, until he reaches the place where Ariana and Cleo are waiting for him. Feeling like there was nothing else to do, Uncle Will decided to leave immediately.

"Mom looking for me?" asked Sherina in a polite tone.

"Yes, because I need to be with you" replied Ariana in a sharp tone.

"Hi, Sherina! It's good to see you again!" cleo who smiled was full of lies.

"Ah, yes ...."

"I asked Mama Ariana to call you here. Mama and I Ariana are planning to take you shopping together. You don't mind, do you?" cleo asked with a hopeful look.

"Shopping? But it looks like ...for now I don't want anything" replied Sherina, who was looking for an excuse to refuse.

"You stay with us, what's the problem? Besides we're also going shopping for Vicky, you've not known my son for a long time, you've got to learn more from Cleo! Besides, our intention to take you shopping together is good. Are you reluctant to become more familiar with us?" asked Ariana in a quip.

"Not so, I didn't mean it at all. Please don't misunderstand me, then I'll go shopping with you guys" Sherina replied in a condescending tone. Despite assuming that her mother-in-law is quite annoying, as much as possible Sherina must withstand her frustration.

"Well, it should have been your attitude from the beginning! Don't forget that you're just a substitute! My real daughter-in-law is Cleo, not you! Even if you're married to Vicky, don't expect you to take Vicky's love! Don't be so arrogant and hopeful just because I'm treated so well by her!" another Ariana who seems not satisfied insulting Sherina.

"Have Mama .. don't be angry anymore, it's not good for health. I don't feel threatened by Sherina either. I believe that Vicky only loves me. After all, Sherina was just a surrogate whose life would not be long," Cleo persuaded with a sneaky grin. She easily uttered hurtful words to insult Sherina, instead of pacifying Ariana.

"You're right, Cleo. I must not be angry, my energy will only be wasted to scold his useless son-in-law like him" Ariana said with a condescending look.

"...." - ".Sherina was silent a thousand languages, silently clenching her hands together as tightly as possible to hold back the anger from exploding.

This is my mother-in-law's real face. Right now he's constantly insulting me as if it's fun entertainment for him. However, when in front of Vicky he was gentle with me. And Cleo was the same. Both two-faced and cowardly. Just watch out for you, I will definitely expose this true nature of yours in front of Vicky. Because I'm sure, Vicky was a good, smart guy. He must know what is right and wrong.

And I'm sure too. Your intention to take me shopping is definitely not that simple. You two must be planning something bad for me. But whatever, just do it. I was wondering what kind of cheap tricks you would do to me. Don't think you can play me!
