The Pesona Duda Perjaka
Chapter 60 Socialite Meeting

The next day Kirana had been getting ready since ten in the morning. Finished taking Raven to sunbathe in the garden and bathe the boy and then feed him breakfast, replacing Kirana who was bathing and getting ready. Kirana didn't want it when Mr. Tomo picked her up, she wasn't anything.

Om Herman and Aunt Mira had also come since 8:30 am and met with Steven who was back checking on Raven. As the doctor in charge of Raven, Steven has confirmed that the boy is healthy again and allowed to go home.

While Shera, until the day her two children were in the hospital, the woman did not show concern at all. Let alone quickly go home and accompany his son in the hospital, even make a phone call or video call to comfort his son, not done by Shera.

“Kirana,” Aunt Mira approached and grabbed Kirana's fingers, “Om and Aunt are very grateful for your willingness to accompany Raven in these two days. Sorry we've been troubling you.”

“No problem Aunt, I am also happy to be able to take care of Raven, Do not be too shy with me,” Kirana held back Aunt Mira's fingers with a smile.

“Om and Aunt apologize for Shera's treatment of you and Sebastian. We are ashamed of your two in-laws, especially your mommy Amelia. We will continue to advise Shera not to bother Sebastian with you anymore,”

“Thank you, Aunt.”

As if he was going to part ways with Kirana, Raven kept clinging to the girl from morning and whined back when Kirana was ready to finish her bath.

Kirana gives understanding to the boy who misses her mother's affection, and fortunately Raven is a smart child and still accepts when spoken to carefully,

As expected Kirana, at 10:30, Mr. Tomo had contacted Kirana's phone, telling her that he was waiting in the hospital lobby.

Kirana also said goodbye to Om Herman and Aunt Mira and Raven who released it with tears and unwilling gazes.

Kirana's little heart is touched by Raven's state, but she is aware of her current position and who Raven's mother is. There was no way he insisted on holding on to Raven, while Shera himself was not in good faith with her.

Not long after the car had entered the Richard Pratama family home. Bik Sum who became the longest waitress and also mommy Amelia's confidant welcomed Kirana who had just arrived on the terrace.

“Add aja, Non Kirana,” Bik Sum smilingly welcomed the young lady candidate.

“Bik Sum is also durable,” Kirana laughs followed by Bik Sum.

“Mommy's still in the room. Bik ?”

“Iya and madam asked me to help miss change clothes with the one prepared by madam.”

Kirana laughed softly and nodded. He followed Bik Sum's steps towards the guest room he had used when he first came here for Amelia's mommy's birthday. Kirana smiled to herself, never thinking that she would soon be part of this family.

“Please Miss,” Bik Sum open the room door and let Kirana in first.

“I can do it myself, Bik. If there was anything I would definitely look for Bik Sum,” Kirana smiled while embracing the shoulder of the middle-aged woman.

Bik Sum smiled and nodded. He felt happy that the young master he had been nurturing since childhood would finally remarry. In addition, the woman who was chosen to be his future wife even though she was young in terms of age, but more mature and a simple friendly woman. In contrast to Shera who often considers himself high.

Kirana only takes 30 minutes to get ready. Aside from Kirana not dressing up strangely, she does not want Amelia's mommy waiting for her. This time Kirana was waiting in the living room, not the living room as before. He checked his phone, not a single message sent by Sebastian, even the message he sent was also illegible let alone reply.

Kirana took a long breath. Despite knowing that Sebastian was under the supervision of Richard and Dion's father, there was sadness in his heart because he felt that Sebastian was prioritizing his work, so just saying hello to him for 5 minutes was so difficult.

Mommy Amelia patted Kirana's shoulder softly still daydreaming while looking at her phone.

“Aready ?” Kirana turned her head then got up from her seat while smiling.

“Mommy is really beautiful. Cool.” Kirana gave her thumbs up while laughing quietly.

“Sama, mommy's daughter-in-law is also beautiful,” mommy Amelia rubbed Kirana's cheeks that blushed shyly.

The two also left to be escorted to Pak Tomo to one of the club houses in the south of Jakarta. Kirana was awkwardly walking next to mommy Amelia. Her self-confidence is not high enough to make her feel worthy to be on Amelia's side.

It turns out that this meeting was some sort of gathering of middle-aged socialites. More than ten of Amelia's mommy friends have sat and chatted there.

Without hesitation, Amelia's mommy took Kirana by the hand and brought her closer to her fellow soldiers.

Mommy Kirana gestured for Kirana to greet and introduce herself to the mothers who were there.

“Good afternoon Auntie all, nice to meet you here. Greetings, I with Kirana Gunawan,” Kirana bent a little body and greet one by one Amelia mommy friends who turned out to number 17 people.

“Check by Jeng Amel. Looks like still young,” comments one mother.

“iya new 21 years,” replied mommy Amelia with pride.

The meeting continued while enjoying the lunch prepared. It turns out that today's lunch was financed by Amelia's mom who got a visit last month. Not everyone present received Kirana well. There were also whispers about him who would accept Sebastian because of the matter of property.

Some even commented indirectly if Sebastian's taste decreased, especially after knowing that Kirana's education and work were only as a secretary. These kinds of things often made Kirana lose her confidence. But mommy Amelia who heard everything did not respond with emotion. He gives an example of how a business wife like daddy Richard and Sebastian had to deal with slanted comments.

Kirana just came out of the toilet to the sink to wash her hands when she met one of the mothers who had been cynical about her since.

“So it is true that people say that a young secretary is indeed taught to tease their bosses, especially the lonely ones,” he said in an arrogant tone.

Kirana who knew that the sentence was addressed to her, pretended not to listen. Kirana considers that the mother did not speak to her because she did not mention her name or call her personally.

“So you were right to tease Sebastian with.” he glanced at Kirana with a look down from head to toe.

Kirana is still trying to dampen her emotions and thinks what answers she will give in order to make it happen but not to embarrass Amelia's mommy.

“Tante talk to me ?”

The woman screeched and smiled cynically. “There is indeed someone else here whose job is a secretary and now already in the position of successfully teasing his boss ?”

“Sorry I don't feel so,” Kirana laughs softly. “ Therefore I am not sure that Aunt is talking to me.”

“Do you think you're great enough that Amelia can introduce you to us as Sebastian's second wife ? Even compared to his first wife, you are nothing at all. I'm sure you're using ways that aren't true.”

“Does Auntie have any proof that I did a rough way to get Mas Bastian ? Aunt Shaman's intent ?” Kirana laughed softly.

“Does Aunt have experience using magic or black magic, so can distinguish which one to wear and not ?”

“You !” Mother snorted with a look full of anger. “We'll see how long you can survive the lie behind your mask. I'm not sure if you really love Sebastian if it wasn't for his treasure,” his cynical smile and gaze looked down upon Kirana

“It is with great pleasure that I will wait for the proof of Aunt's speech just now. My love issue with Mas Bastian is the privacy of both of us, not for public consumption. But I am very grateful that Auntie is so concerned about my life and Mas Bastian. Sorry if because of my presence makes Auntie's child can not have a chance to get Mas Bastian again.”

“Where did you know about Reina ?” Ask with my eyes glaring.

“Aunty's anger that felt I didn't deserve to be Amelia's mommy's daughter-in-law wasn't because of Auntie's concern for Mas Bastian, but because I feel that the better Auntie son of Shera ended up being defeated by me, an ordinary woman who only went to school and worked as a secretary.”

“Basic and arrogant women !” meaning back.

Kirana just smiled without showing her emotions.

“Sorry I have to go back now. Mommy Amelia must have started to worry because I took too long to go to the restroom. Don't let my in-laws know that Auntie held me here too long. I excuse.”

Mother was clenching both hands while staring at Kirana's departure. What Kirana said was right. Several times Miranda's mother, the name of Amelia's army friend, tried to match her son with Sebastian. Reina, the name of Aunt Miranda's son, did put his heart on Sebastian too, but unfortunately Amelia's mommy was not supportive and Sebastian himself was not too interested.

Mommy Amelia raised both corners of her lips when she saw Aunt Miranda charging from the direction of the restroom with an annoyed face, and before her friend could be seen, mommy Amelia had already seen that Kirana came out first with a triumphant face.

Mommy Amelia deliberately invites Kirana to this kind of event to teach how the attitude of a Primary woman to face people like Aunt Miranda. And from the annoyed face of Aunt Miranda, mommy Amelia believes that she does not need to work hard to strengthen Kirana's mentality in dealing with arrogant women who try to lower Kirana's self-esteem.
