The Prince
69. Throe

The wrinkled hands continued to move, with a slow but definite movement, the next folds of colorful clothes. Sturdy zippers on the tote bag with thick canvas material he tightens. 

“Hhhh” the elderly woman sighed softly. 

Leaving the life he had lived for so many years was certainly hard. With the mission and trust of his master he has hope.

But unfinished from his duties he was forced to give up. That is the hardest thing for a man. Mbok Mina still feels he has a debt to Ms. Andini. 

Andini's mother is not just an employer for Mbok Mina. But he's a savior. Someone who took Mina's mbok out of the pimps. And since then Mbok Mina promised, Mbok Mina will devote herself to Mother Andini. 

Unfortunately, Andini's mother had to leave this world. Suddenly and no one thought. He left two young sons and knew nothing. 

From then on, Mbok Mina devoted herself to Aslan and Satya. A poor boy who from childhood had been shackled by all the ambitions and rules of the Great Lord. 

Unfortunately Aslan is not as lucky as Satya who is the second and freer child. Aslan the first child from childhood has been formed in accordance with the wishes of the Great Lord.

And now Mbok Mina is determined to pay off his debt. With a definite step, even though his body began to feel linu in some places because of his age.

Mbok Mina tote her bag. Mbok Mina wants to meet someone who she thinks can fulfill the mandate of Andini's mother, giving happiness to Aslan.

Mbok Mina also walked to Paul's room, to say goodbye to Paul. 

Not yet in Paul's room, they both cross paths. The tall, long-haired woman seemed to walk towards the kitchen in a relaxed manner. 

“Mbok I want to eat pickled dong!” said Paul lightly. 

Mbok Mina stopped and lowered her bag. Mbok Mina wants to say why she was told to cook

“Sorry Madam” replied Bu Mina slowly.

Instantly Paul turned to the bag of clothes that Mbok Mina dropped. 

“Where are you Mbok?”  ask Paul ketus. 

“I say hello to Madam. Starting today I stopped working from this house” Mbok Mina said by bowing his head. 

“Hah, stop? Why?” asked Paul with wide eyes.

“Sorry Madam, Mr. Aslan said, starting today I retired” Mbok Mina replied.

“No! Just delicious! No, there is no retirement! Stay right here! Even if you want to retire there must be a replacement for you” replied Paul did not want people as diligent as Mbok Mina left. 

“But Mistress!” rebut Mbok Mina.

“Nothing. Nope! Mbok Mina can't go” refute Paul rough and pull Mbok Mina's bag. 

“But Nyonya” Mbok Mina tried to reach for her bag again, but Paul opened Mbok Mina's bag and took her wallet. 

“Mbok Mina cannot leave here without my permission!” said Paul did not accept then took a ride on Mbok Mina wallet. 

Mbok Mina who is old and only as a messenger of course lost energy. Mbok Mina just resigned. And finally Mbok Mina returned to bring her bag to her room. Working again with two colleagues. 

While Paul with a burst of emotions went upstairs and banged on Aslan's room. Paul thought as usual Aslan was still in his room before going to the office. 

Without Paul before, it was not as usual that it was always locked. Today the door to Aslan's room opened. Paul then entered, it was the first time, as a woman who was legally recorded in KUA as a wife, set foot in the room of the man who said her husband. 

Paul's heart skipped a beat and sweated. If they were normal, it would be Paul's room.

Paul also wants to feel the warmth of Aslan's body like seven years ago. Only once did Paul remember and miss him.

Even though Paul realizes that his relationship with Aslan is not good. But Paul is quite comfortable taking cover behind Nareswara's name. More than money but honor and social status. 

Paul is also in a safe position as he embarks on a forbidden love and love affair with Nicholas, an artist with children and a wife. No one was suspicious because Paul was the wife of Aslan.

Paul looked around. Aslan's room looks neat. There was no sound either. Though hesitant Paul dares to call Aslan. 

“Aslan...Aslan” call Paul. 

“Aslan I want to talk to Lo?” say Paul again. 

Paul continued his steps forward. And ventured in, past where Aslan changed and kept clothes.

How shocked Paul was, Aslan had packed his clothes. Empty fingers. Paul also sees an open bathroom which means Aslan is not in the bathroom. 

“Sh*t..” Paul clenched his hand as if something was smothering him making him feel tight and disappointed. 

“So he really dared to divorce me? Huh?” Paul spoke to himself with a crazy expression. Laughing to himself but there is a bit of bitterness behind his smile. 

Actually, in the depths of Paul's heart, Paul harbors a taste for Aslan. It's just Aslan was always cold and ignoring him.

As a normal woman Paul needed caress and warmth. So he vented it on Nicholas, the basket artist, who boasted his physical perfection fooled many lonely women. 

Paul rushed out of the bathroom. Then his eyes fell on the map on the table. Just like Kia did. Aslan left the certificate home. And memos. 

“I hope you can cooperate well. Come to the trial and finish our drama” 

Paul tightened his jaw and squeezed the paper. Paul only realized that the decoration of the photos in the room was not even there anymore. Contrary to Kia's new home, Aslan put new photos. 

“That woman? The bastard?”  paul remembers Kia.

Paul squeezed his hand. I don't know what Paul really wants. Paul should be happy to get the money and shares of the company. In fact, he also wanted to immediately separate, but now when he really wanted to divorce Paul felt worried and did not accept. 

Paul then exited the room and searched his cell phone and contacted his in-laws. Because Paul's parents lived abroad, Paul's patron was Miss Vienna. Aslan's stepmother is none other than Aunt Paul. 

Can't remember the pickled order Mbok Mina made. Paul immediately left the house and met his in-laws. Although the subpoena from the court has not arrived because it was weekend. Paul had guessed, this time Aslan seriously filed for divorce. 

While Mbok Mina stared bitterly and was annoyed to see Paul. Mbok Mina's goal is to serve Aslan's happiness instead of serving a bitch like Paul. 

After a few minutes Paul got to the palace of the Great Lord where he lived first. Paul immediately ran to the lounge where his mother-in-law used to spend time enjoying fresh drinks. 

“Morning Mah!” paul grabs her in-laws' hands and kisses her right and left cheeks. 

“Beauty” java Bu Vienna then send Paul to sit. 

“Aslan left Mah's house, she really wants to divorce me!” shoot Paul. 

“Not yet Baby!” replied Miss Vienna grinning. 

Actually Lady Vienna prevented them from divorcing first because Miss Vienna did not want to under Paul. Mrs Vienna also wants to get a share of that stake. 

If the Great Lord dies Miss Vienna gets 20 %. If Paul were to divorce before the Great Lord died Paul would be the highest shareholder. So Miss Vienna influenced Paul. And Paul himself did want the status of a wife, as a shield to protect himself and his good name. 

“Mah, she's reckless!” 

“Did Aslan let that stock be yours?” ask Miss Vienna.

“Yes. Even home” 

“Smooth once she?” 

“What does this make Mamah happy?” 

“Should this question have Mamah, are you happy? You're gonna be the highest shareholder, you got it all?” tanya Bu Vienna mmancing. 

“No! I changed my mind. I don't want a divorce, if I'm Mah's widow, how's Alena?” paul answered nanar, Paul changed his mind because Paul began to realize Nicholas did not want to leave his family, 

“Hhhh, you take it easy, mamah will help you!”

“Light how, Aslan's son along with Alena, Alena will definitely suffer greatly, if you know her dady choose another child and leave her” 

“What do you mean?” 

“Boy I told Mama” 

“Ya Mamah has met her, what do you mean she is with Alena” 

“So Mamah has met?” 

“He was with Aslan to hospital” 

“To the hospital?”

“Ya.”

“That child is also in quarantine. They compete, Paul does not want Alena to live without a father, Paul does not want to divorce”, Paul explained. 

“Then reject and withdraw your divorce!”
