"Hi. thief. Restore it!" Abust who had just come out of one of the minimarkets in the city center shouted loudly when his groceries were taken forcibly by two boys. The two children ran after getting what they wanted. Abust chased after him quickly, he ran over the sidewalk to snatch the two little thieves. Actually Abust could have let his things be taken because he could still buy them again. But his regret for being fooled by two snot boys made him want to catch the little thief.
Abust stopped his steps as the two boys were already not struggling as they went through a dead end. Their breathing is equally boring because they have run fast far enough. Even Abust did not realize that his car was parked far in front of the minimarket.
"Where are you guys going." Abust leaned over and spread out his hands trying to catch the two children.
Instead of being afraid, the two little children actually stuck out their tongues provoking, making Abust even more upset. Abust quickly caught the two children with his hands.
"Itahhhh...." Abust shouted quite loudly, he did manage to catch the two boys but both of them instead bit off his unprotected arm with a cloth as he was currently wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt. Abust released the two children and blew the bite marks on both arms.
"Damn," Abust swore while occasionally exhaling cold air in the bite marks.
"God, my gosh."
Abust turned his head when he heard the voices of the two boys shouting for mercy. He saw a young woman wearing trousers carrying two small creatures who stole his groceries earlier.
"Who taught you to steal?" the woman's nagging increasingly hard hit the ears of the two boys.
"Honor ma, my goodness, my hungry sister," the two boys whined tearfully holding her ear in pain. The woman looked up and removed her hands from the ears of the two children. He then hugged the bearer who was still crying.
"I'm sorry, mom came home late. Look at this, mama has brought you food, "the woman showed a brown paper bag to the two children. The two boys who had been crying finally smiled happily, immediately grabbed the food in the hands of his mother with joy.
"I was," said the boy.
"I used to" said another boy, they seemed impatient to eat the food brought by his mother.
"Don't scramble baby, mama bought two . You can take one each," she opened the paper bag, and took out two medium-sized sandwiches to give to her two children. The two boys looked happy and greedy eating the sandwich like eating a very delicious meal.
The woman smiled to see her two children eating her food so greedily, then her face turned bitter by shedding tears in the corner of her eyes which she just wiped away before her two children saw her crying.
Abust gulped, staring at the nanar with the scene he had just watched. He was very ashamed of himself, chasing after a hungry little boy who had taken his groceries. He should have let the two boys pick it up anyway he could buy again because he had a lot of money. While the two boys?
Abust cleared his throat for a moment, making the young woman turn to him.
"Sorry sir, here's your groceries. Forgive my children, they didn't mean to steal. Please don't magnify this matter" she returned Abust's grocery bag with her head down without daring to look directly at Abust.
Abust did not receive it immediately, he scanned the woman's appearance from bottom to top and stopped right on her face.
"Catherine?"
The woman looked up when she felt her name being called. He looked at Abust and did not expect that they would meet again in an unpleasant situation.
"Mr Abust!"
When Abust wanted to answer, Chaterine suddenly asked her two sons to run away from Abust, even the sandwich that was being eaten by one of her sons fell, but she ignored him.
"Chaterine, wait," Abust shouted in pursuit of Chaterine's steps, it was indeed quite fast but because Chaterine was holding the two boys together that made Abust easily catch up with them.
Chaterine Wilson, a Yang Pou Han woman who attacked Sean at night. The woman was threatened with the safety of her family if she was unable to kill her foster brother. Because Chaterine also made Abust brutally torture Salwa who was still Sean's servant. Sean had already forgiven her, even the man kindly sent Chaterine and her family back to his country. Sean had also prepared a job and a place to live for them, but now he found the woman in such a miserable condition.
The clothes worn by Chaterine looked shabby and her two children even intended to steal Abust's groceries just to fill her starving stomach. What happened to Chaterine? Why in this span of two years did his life turn miserable like that?
When Abust's hand pulls Chaterine's arm, one of her cubs bites Abust's hand back, but Abust survives. He did not let the woman run away from him, it seemed that Chaterine's appearance was so attractive to Abust, that he endured the pain to defend the woman.
"Ashton, stop!" hearing Chaterine's cry to him, Ashton opened his mouth to release his bite on Abust's arm. It was a reddish bite with a bit of blood.
"Mr Abust, forgive my son, once again they have done you wrong" Chaterine again apologized to Abust for the attitude of her children. Moreover, he saw Ashton bite marks spitting out fresh blood which proved that Ashton's bite wound was quite serious.
"I need help to take care of my wounds."
"A..what?"
.....
Salwa did decide to quit college, but it did not make her learning spirit fade. She studied the books of her husband's collection one by one, and if she felt there was something she did not understand Sean always taught and guided her. Salwa was very fortunate to have a tutor as great as her husband, although Sean often asked for rewards as a reward for his time and thought in teaching his wife that. Of course it is not the money he wants but something else.
The sound of knocking on the main door made Salwa turn her head quickly. He who comes to his house has no promise with anyone, but whoever he is he must respect and appreciate the guests who come to his house.
"Let me Bik" said Salwa, standing up from the sofa where she was reading. He put his reading glasses on the table and headed towards the main door. Before opening it, Salwa peeked for a moment from the intercom camera already installed outside to find out who came.
"Angela," Salwa whispered softly in her heart. For what Angela came here again, instead of two days ago she was expelled and treated badly by Sean. Did he come to propose cooperation again, but why did he have to come home? Sean is currently still in his office, so there is no way Angela has come just to look for him, right?
Salwa finally opened the main door, she tried to behave normally by sharing her smile when angela's face appeared behind the door.
"Angela, do you want to look for...."
"Can I come in?" Angela immediately said Salwa, her mood was still bad so she did not want to talk to the woman in front of her.
"Of course, come in please," Salwa walked back by opening her door wide again to Angela who was still standing outside.
Salwa entered first, followed by Angela who followed behind him, then the two people sat down opposite each other to have a conversation.
"Is there a problem with Angela so you're looking for me?"
"Of course, since you always make trouble for everyone, even my papa is also in trouble because of you," Angela directly accused Salwa of repeatedly making the woman confused by it.
"Angela, what have I done? I don't understand what you're saying at all."
"Currently, you certainly know what your husband has done to the papa company. Don't pretend to be stupid, in front of your eyes Salwa, your husband has said he will make the project papa will never get investors and now, he said, in just a moment your husband has managed to make papa's company almost bankrupt. What do you think is my fault with you that you destroyed my family's business so cruelly."
Salwa was just listening, not knowing what to say. Sean said nothing to himself. If he knew Sean had gone that far, then Salwa would definitely not have agreed to it because he did not want to make others miserable because of him.
"Angela, relax. Maybe all this is misunderstanding, my husband is very kind. She could not have done such a thing, "Salwa could only defend her husband, but she doubted what he said. Sean sometimes likes to do things that are out of bounds, especially when he is angry. Because Salwa knew Angela was already intruding on her personal life and it definitely made her husband dislike her. Sean's love for him makes him very protective of Salwa.
"Even you dodge, what kind of woman are you. You have absolutely no empathy for your fellow human beings. You are now a proud, selfless woman."
"Just Angela, this is my home. You don't deserve to say something that's not in someone else's house."
Angela's words are getting more and more spicy alone makes Salwa can not stand if you continue to hear it.
"Your house? Even imagining this is too far for you. Salwa don't be a nut that forgets its skin. If it wasn't for papa you wouldn't have finished your high school education. You with that stupid face of yours came to see papa for an education scholarship, didn't you?, and if papa doesn't approve your name on the list of scholarship recipients you won't be able to continue your school. Don't you remember my papa's service to you?"
Salwa gritted her teeth, she was deeply hurt by Angela's words. Salwa did not forget about it all, she remembered it very much. With a timid move he entered the principal's room to apply for a fee waiver by registering as one of the scholarship recipients at the school.
Salwa managed to get the scholarship after taking a series of tests, and it was not easy to pass. Salwa is competing with hundreds of other children who want the scholarship because it is limited to ten children only.
Salwa remembers it very much, the school waives operational costs such as monthly money that is usually collected by the school to the students as spp dues. Salwa also never forgot, how her struggle used to pay for her school books which were very expensive for her. He was willing to sell food and soft drinks when he came home from school, he did not want to burden his parents who also had to send their three younger siblings. As the eldest of the four children, Salwa must be able to meet his own needs.
"I've never forgotten Angela, because it's all part of my life. You don't have to remind me until it's like that."
"It's good if you remember, so are you going to repay papa's kindness by making his company go bankrupt. Salwa, you really are a very petty woman. You return the milk with the spit water, you're not like a snake..."
"Enough. You think all the trouble with Mr. Alif's company is because of me. You never change Angela, you always blame others for your own failures. My husband will not do anything to harm others if that person does not start it. You're Angela who's ruined your own papa business, not mine."
Salwa strengthened her heart to fully trust her husband. Sean couldn't possibly bully someone if there was no reason, but Salwa promised to ask her husband about the matter later after work.
"You dare say that to me. You're just a cheap woman who happens to be picked up by the rich and made into a wife. Go to Salwa, you don't deserve to be with Sean Paderson at all. Being his maid is good enough for you, but to be his wife you are not at all worthy." Angela with her skills said it was bad to say Salwa as much. He did not care at all about the feelings of his interlocutor.
Salwa thinned her lips, trying to control her emotions and anger, "Then who do you think deserves to be with Sean Paderson, if it's not me?"
"You want to know who deserves it. I, I'm the one who deserves to be with Sean Paderson, not a babu like you."
Salwa could not stand Angela's attitude, the woman in front of her was shameless and did not understand about the rules of meeting.
"Get out, get out of Angela's house and never come back. Do not expect a married man. Because I as his legal wife will not stay silent if another woman approaches and seduces my husband, leave, get out of here!"
