The Pride of an Ex
episode 22

Mama started driving away from the Beauty Salon. I glanced there, at the woman who was grievingly unable to go home.

If only my mother's position was not in the salon, if she was in the market with vegetable groceries, maybe I would help.

But, seeing the mother's rising style, my heart did not meridhoi help her.

Is my heart filled with hate?

Yes, I hate those who have humbled themselves. Think I'm just a poor woman who doesn't deserve affection.

The huft! Imagining the past, made my heart wound again throb pain.

"Why, Al?"

I looked at Mama, then shook my head.

"Remember your in-laws?" ask Mama again.

"former, Mah. He's already an ex-in-law."

"There is no ex between mother and son. Although, the wedding rope has broken."

"Alira knows, but don't force Alira not to hate her and her child. Alira's hatred is not without reason. And Mama knows it."

"Yes sure. You know and feel what you feel. Now, Mama let you get your heart out to them. But. don't be a mess. It is not good to hold a grudge too deeply. There are times when you must rise to your own happiness. Remember, there's Seila the beautiful princess you should be happy with."

Cool. I felt my heart more calm and peaceful listening to Mama's words.

I have to admit, right now my goal is just to show me who I really am.

Makes them regret, for ever wasting me and Seila.

Twenty minutes passed, and now I'm back home. Papa's car isn't in the yard yet, but there's a black car that's familiar to me.

"Have you not come home yet?" ask bi Ijah.

"Not yet, Neng geulis. But Neng Seila had come home with Adi. No, playing there."

I followed bi Ijah's eyes. It turned out to be true if Seila was sitting cross-legged on a stretch of grass beside the house.

I approached him who was enjoying a lollipop.

"Hey, what's Mama's son doing?" I said pinch her cheek slowly.

"Eat the loli" she replied adorable.

"Kok Seila can be like you, Di?" ask the man who was silent in front of my daughter.

"So, told by Father. He said you'd meet with the directors, so I told him to bring Seila home."

I nodded as I rounded my mouth.

"Yes, Di. Did you get any information about Gunawan's son?"

Adi scratched his nape with a fake smile. If the reaction is like that, I already know the answer.

"Yet, Non."

Kan, what I said.

"Not yet to find out, has it not been?"

"Both"

"Ish, you can't believe it, Di." I said as I rubbed my daughter's lips against the candy stain.

Did I have to pay someone to investigate that guy? his name no longer knows.

Bodo is very. Now I want to focus on my first goal.

Prepare for the party later. For Mr. Gunawan's son, I'll find out after the party is over. That way, I don't have to hide my identity anymore if I meet people who have something to do with Papa.

***

"Where, Dad? what was Papa meeting?"ask me after Papa comes back.

"Much has Papa discussed. Papa has also told people to install cctv in the factory where you work, and secretly of course."

I smiled happily at that. That is, little by little the fraud that is there will be uncovered. You can see which employees are good and which are bad.

Want me not just to drop Nathan and Bima. With the additional surveillance cameras, I hope that senior employees are not arbitrary to junior.

Prevent the existence of bullyng so that the working atmosphere becomes comfortable and safe. We need employees, we must provide comfort for them to remain loyal to devote to the company.
