The Imperfect Story
Chapter 40

After returning home from work, Riska sat on the edge of her bed, she let out a long sigh when thinking about the complicated events that have been going on for some time in her company environment.

About Ismail's second wife, about the revocation of Zaskia's CEO position, about Zaskia's shares that are easy to change ownership, not to mention about complaints from clients really make his brain like being hit by a load of hundreds of kilo grams.

"Astaghfirullahal'adzim" said Riska lirih. His soul still bounced somewhere making the mother come to him and pat the girl's shoulder gently.

"What's up, kid? Looks like you're thinking a lot more, is it because of the workload?" ask Riska's mother while stroking the child's head.

"It's okay, Mom. Did you eat?" Riska diverted the direction of the conversation.

"It just so happens that I just finished cooking" Ms Riska said. His health has now been greatly improved, because getting a salary more than Kia at that time, making Riska able to bring the Mother to the hospital to get more intensive care.

"It looks like you're happy, yeah. Until cooking a good meal today." said Riska chuckled when she saw the dining table full of her favorite dishes.

"Yes happy, honey. It's Riska's birthday, isn't it?" His mother asked while reminding.

"Oh God, Mother. Riska is too busy, to forget Riska's birthday. Thank you for reminding me and making my favorite food Riska. May you extend your age so that you can always celebrate your birthday with Riska." Riska hugged the middle-aged woman's body. His mother returned his arms with a happy heart. Given the status of Mother and Father is not easy for him, but God actually gives a dutiful child to be a gift for him.

"Let's eat, son." said his mother, Riska nodded and smiled taking a spoon because her mother had prepared the food on a special plate for her.

After eating, Riska sat down and looked back. Knowing this, his mother approached and asked again.

"Speak to Mom, what is it that makes your mind disturbed like this?"

"There is a problem in the office, but Riska is confused as to how and where to tell it" Riska said with a long sigh.

"Tell me as you have in mind, son. Mother will listen well." said the Mother patted the back of Riska's hand on the table.

"Look, Mom. The female boss that Riska once told me was cruel, it turns out she was a good person that Riska had met. Though the sound that came out of his mouth was cruel, but behind it, his heart was very noble."

"At that time, Mother Kia once scolded Riska for wanting to go home quickly because she had to take care of Mom when she was sick, it turns out that what I was thinking first has now turned into a positive. Riska's response now that Ms. Kia is indeed a person who upholds work discipline, she just wants her employees to stay compliant on work hours."

"At that time Riska said no-no behind him, but it was Mother Kia who helped us pay the cost of Mother's treatment. Secretly Kia's mother sent extra money to Riska at the time." Riska and her mother smiled.

"Mom likes people who have that kind of personality. He is willing to be looked at by others because he is reluctant to be praised. He was indifferent but his heart was caring and sincere. That's how your father used to be." Riska's mother looked out the window, there was a longing for her late husband.

"So, what happened to her that this mother's son was burdened with his mind?" mama Riska asked to shift her grief.

"Now her position is displaced because her husband cheated on her." Riska recounts with her head bowed.

"Astaghfirullahal'adzim, have the heart of the man" said the mother shook her head.

"And stupidly, Riska was in it." Riska looked at her mother with a guilty feeling.

"meaning?" Riska's mother doesn't understand.

"Riska once helped to retrieve Ms. Kia's signature for a file on Mr. Ismail's orders,  but Riska did not think that the file was a file transfer of the name of shares owned by Mother Kia belonged to Mr. Ismail, Her husband." said Riska immediately his eyes pooled.

"Riska made a big mistake, but Mother Kia was good to Riska." Riska was getting sobbing, her mother also tried to hug her child just like that.

"Thank you for the enlightenment, ma'am. Riska must have tried hard to help Kia's mother regain her rights." said Riska while wiping her tears and getting a smile from her mother.

"Did Ibu Wati have persuaded Vita to hand Zayn over to Zaskia?" ask Judge.

"No, Kim. I'm trying." said Wati with a clear face.

"Geez, why don't you all take this seriously?" the Judge shook his head weakly. Crushed away his hopes if what he was trying to do failed.

"i'm serious. Just can't persuade it yet." elak Wati made the Judge snort in annoyance.

"You are too long-winded when time is turning. I was scared when Zaskia's lawyer acted, we lost everything." Judge threatened, while Wati became frightened.

"Then what's your plan? I don't want to lose the treasure that should be mine!" bentak Wati later.

"My plan is very cunning, Ms. Wati. It could have cost your own daughter and daughter-in-law." said the judge.

"Ah, I don't care, even if I have to sacrifice them I have no problem, the important thing is that I have complete control of the treasure." Wati.

"Well, then what I want, I will only give advice and Ibu Wati just need to follow my plan." said the judge grinned and then left Wati.

They did not realize, since Bella peeked and eavesdropped on the conversation Mother and her lawyer-in-law.

"Oh Allah is very cruel this old woman." Bella chirps make Wati surprised by the presence of her daughter who appears suddenly.

"Are you not afraid of hell?" bella asked, looking seriously at the Mother's face.

"Hey, you brat! How dare you surprise your mother!" wati's snapping made Bella shudder in shock because Wati's attack was not playful. Able to make blood vessels and eardrums become ruptured if they are nearby.

"What did you plan to do?" bella asked, making her mother's forehead shrivel deeply.

"Little children don't interfere with adult matters!" Wati refused to tell.

"Come, Mother. I'm an adult, I'm just asking, can't I? Not that I'm Mom's son, recruit me to be your villain friend." Bella was weaving and putting on a lethargic face.

"You want to be a partner in Mother's crime? Don't dream, you just graduated high school yet." asked Wati while giggling amusedly hearing the words of her daughter, then left her just like that.

"Great, the bad guy can work alone without adding troops" said Bella up the stairs to her brother's room.

"What's really going on, brother? To the extent that I hate Zayn so much?" bella asked her sister who had just come out of her room.

Vita was surprised by the sudden question posed by Bella. He shook his head and said nothing and entered his room again.

Yes, Bella does not know that Zayn is the child of his parents' actions out of wedlock. Therefore Bella does not like to hear Wati who likes to mention Zayn as an illegitimate child. For defense the other day, he just argued without understanding the intention of the mother.
