Ari glanced at Elie who was still sobbing in Finn's arms. I don't know why it's like seeing Airani in Elie.
But he threw away his absurd thought. Although he did not understand why the woman in front of him was crying as he told a story.
"Why are you crying when I tell you about Airani?" ari asked who was starting to calm down.
"You don't need to know why my wife is crying" Finn said flatly and coldly, staring intently at Ari.
Ari just shrugged her shoulders, at least she knew that the woman in front of her was not Airani. And knew the man who was hugging the woman was her husband.
Elie took off her embrace from Finn, she wiped her tears and looked towards Ari.
"You've got what you want, then why are you still selling Cheryl to Madam Freya?" asked Elie who had started to calm herself down.
"I didn't sell it, because I didn't receive a penny from Madam Freya. I just asked Madam Freya to teach her a lesson for a year so she could feel what it was to lose the person she loved and also feel tormented by others. Although it is still nothing compared to what he has done to Ai" said Ari without guilt.
"Don't that mean you're the same as him. You don't think what you're doing is wrong? Even Rani herself had forgiven him even though she felt pain. Because after all they were both born from the same womb and had the same father" Elie said
"I know, I admit it if I'm wrong to avenge Ai without asking for her consent first. But I don't regret it. If you're gonna kill me please, I won't dodge. But please don't hurt my wife, let her live well. He had nothing wrong and related to my actions.
I love her, although my love for her is not as great as my love for Rani, but she is a very good wife. Let her take care of my daughter Rani, I don't want my daughter to live with her cruel mother who has a bad impact on my daughter's future" said Ari resigned.
"I'm sorry Papah Rani, maybe we won't meet again. I'm sorry I can't give you a father's affection anymore, son. I hope you grow up to be a kind and gentle woman, unlike your evil-hearted mother. Forgive my dear papah, forgive Papah who can not take care of you until adulthood according to papah's promise" said Ari in his heart.
Elie, who heard this, closed her eyes for a moment, and went out of the room, pulling her husband's hand, without a word.
Ari looked at Elie's back away, she shed another tear, although Elie did not answer her request. He cannot do anything, here he has no right to speak.
...
"Honey" call Finn when both are in the same hotel room on their first night.
Finn pulled his wife's body and sat Elie on her lap. Elie slid her hand against Finn's neck, and rested her head on her husband's left shoulder.
"Mas, I'm sorry I haven't told you about Rio. I think this is just the past and it means nothing more, but it turns out that right now the problem is actually related to him. As you have heard from him, that is the truth. Rio was my best friend back when I was in high school and I started to stay away from him when he told me that Rico wasn't a good guy, and my brother planned something evil on me, and I didn't believe it at the time, because I thought it was just a joke" Elie said
"Mas, am I evil? didn't this happen because of me? I am the center of that problem, I am the source of the suffering of everyone around me. For Cheryl, I was the shame and the misfortune that made my mother die. And now, I'm making a child separate from her mother, making my own sister suffer and fall into the hospital, because my best friend is avenging for me" Elie said with tightness in her chest.
Finn tightened his arms, and peeked at Elie's head.
"No dear! You are not a burden, a bad luck or a source of trouble. You are the greatest source of joy and grace God has given me, my father, and those who love you" Finn said.
"That's not all your fault, they're wrong because they're acting on their own accord, not my will. That's their choice" Finn assured his wife.
"We'd better meet Dad, however he should know about this. We can find a solution together, I'm sure there's a way out of every problem. And we wait for Cheryl to hear her opinion, isn't she the victim? You take it easy, your brother has been moved to a safe place by Arthur" said Finn.
"All right, we're going to Dad now, thanks for everything. I don't know if you're not here, maybe I'm." Elie said.
"Already do not think El and do not need to thank me, this is my duty as a husband. We better take a break first, tomorrow we're going to dad's office, it's night" Finn said.
Elie nodded her head, according to what her husband said. He went to rest, of course with a warm embrace of the husband.
...•••...
The next day, Finn and Elie left for Adrian's office. Elie had decided to tell her father everything.
Now they both arrived at the company Eleanor Group. Clasping Finn's hand tightly, Elie stepped into Adrian's office.
"Dad" said Elie, hugging her father
"Hey baby, the newlyweds are still here? Not on a honeymoon?" adrian asked who returned a loving hug for his son.
"Me and Mas Finn honeymoon in the first delay well, there is a problem that we want to solve first" said Elie
"The problem? What problem El" said Adrian frowning.
"We sit down first yuk yah, El will tell me everything" said Elie who was embraced by Adrian and allowed the couple to sit down.
As they head to the guest sofa, Finn doesn't forget to kiss his father-in-law's hand first.
"What problems? Did Finn hurt you?" adrian asked while glancing at Finn sharply.
"Dad, I couldn't have hurt El. You know I love him so much" Finn said.
"True dad, Finn never hurt me, he loves me so much" said Elie smiled at her husband and in reply a smile that was no less sweet as well. Making Adrian also rolled his eyes was careless because in suguhi the new bride's kesuwun scene.
"Then what's the matter, El?" adrian asked impatiently.
"It's about Cheryl's sister, yeah" Elie said
"Cheryl? What's up with him?" adrian said with a frown, but in his heart he was worried if his eldest daughter did something wrong or maybe something bad happened to him.
