News of Rainero and Shenina's wedding preparations seemed to fill the glass screen almost every hour. It was obvious that it made the women who were jealous of Shenina's good fortune beaver, especially Theo's mother Ambar and Jessica.
"Damn. I thought the one getting married was another Shenina, she said. What the hell did they see from that girl. It must have been him who teased that young master of Sanches. How could a man as handsome, as rich, and as perfect as young master Sanches be infatuated with a woman like her if not for her being good at teasing him," Theo's mother grumbled with her sour face.
Rea, Theo's wife who accompanied her mother-in-law to watch, interjected, "it looks like Miss Shenina is a good woman, Mom. It was precisely I saw, young master Sanches was the one who was infatuated with miss Shenina. Where might young master Sanches and ... Theo could have loved her so much had it not been for her being a good woman. The Sanches family will definitely reject her if they know that Miss Shenina is not a good woman" Rea said. He remembered his meeting with Shenina 2 days ago.
The flashback
"Heh, netaang, I thought you killed yourself after failing to marry my son, but you were still alive. Great for you, too" Theo's mother joked to Shenina who was eating her avocado float.
Shenina flinched and turned her gaze to Theo's mother who had been standing up while shaking her waist.
"Rea, do you want to know who this cheap woman is? She was Theo's ex-girlfriend. You know, she's a really cheap woman. Traitors. Mommy, Daddy, and Theo willingly came all the way to propose to her, and you know what happened? On that day he was also found pregnant with another boy, really a netaang. Mommy's got a feeling she's a bad girl. Fortunately, Theo immediately decided to leave this net, otherwise, huh where would Mommy let Theo take care of the unclear child," pointed it towards the contents of Shenina.
"Mom," Rea held Mother Theo's hand, hoping that Theo's mother would stop. Especially because of the actions of the mother-in-law, many pairs of eyes turned to her.
"Don't stop, Mommy, Rea. She deserves this kind of humiliation, "theo's mother, who is still not satisfied, wants to insult Shenina. "Heh, mesh, you see this beautiful woman beside me, she is Rea, Theo's wife. He's 180° more worthy of being Theo's companion than a mesh like you. You're a cheap woman, who deserves a man like my son." Theo's mother continued to insult Shenina.
Shenina was embarrassed by Theo's mother's words. It was as if he was doused with dirt water, making him completely embarrassed.
"Have you?" shenina asked calmly. He didn't want to be angry at the bar. Moreover, he would soon become a member of the Sanches family and he did not want to humiliate the Sanches family.
Hearing such a calm question from Shenina's lips really made Theo's mother windy. Contrary to the reverse with Rea who actually looked at him amazed. Moreover, Shenina's face turned out to be more beautiful than in the photo. It's only natural that until now Theo is difficult to forget.
Yes, Rea knows Shenina. Not knowing directly, but Shenina's face was very familiar in her eyes. Because almost in every corner of Theo's room was filled with photos of Shenina, both photos of the two and photos that seemed to be taken by Theo secretly. It could show just how much Theo actually loved Shenina.
Theo's mother had told her about Shenina, but she had not known clearly whether Shenina had indeed betrayed Theo or something else had happened.
"The cheap netting base!" Mother Theo raised her hand about to slap Shenina, but a hand first stopped her.
"Don't try to touch Shenina even at the end of your nail if you don't want to lose this hand forever" said Rainero, who had been standing next to Theo's mother, clutching her hand. Then Rainero smashed Theo's mother's hand rough.
Clearly, Theo and Rea's mother were flabbergasted, while Shenina was breathing with relief after seeing Rainero's arrival. That means he doesn't have to bother to face Theo's mother.
"You ... who?" hiss is Theo's mother who doesn't recognize Rainero. After looking around again, his eyes widened. "Aren't you the young master of the Sanches family? I'm sorry, sir, but you don't have to defend this cheap woman. He this is ... "
"She is my future wife and take your word! She's not a cheap woman. He's too expensive for a petty man like your son!" said Rainero with hardened jaws and sharp eyes.
"W-what? Wife-to-be? How's it possible?" great-grandson of Theo's mother couldn't believe it.
Rea was flabbergasted when he realized that the name of the bride-to-be of the Sanches family was Shenina, which means that her husband's ex-lover would be Rainero's wife. In the news, there are no photos of Shenina. Only his name is mentioned. This is done to maintain the privacy of Shenina. Especially if she is currently pregnant. Surely if people, especially the media, will aggressively pursue it to and fro making the activities of preparing for their marriage will be disrupted. But that does not mean Rainero will cover their togetherness.
"Of course it's possible. He's valuable. She's too kind to go into being a petty female family member and not as conscientious as you. You can only judge from lack, not more. You don't deserve to be the mother-in-law of a woman as good as Shenina. You're a woman and a mother, but you berate a woman and want to humiliate her. Though you can also see Shenina is pregnant, but with no conscience you want to hit her. Quickly leave from before me now before I destroy you as well as your beloved son!" hiss Rainero with his index finger pointed at Theo's mother's face.
Flashback off
Hearing the son-in-law's defense of Shenina made Theo's mother snort. Just now he was about to argue the defense of the son-in-law to Shenina, but Theo's arrival only made the attention of the two distracted.
"Theo, why are you home so soon? Are you sick?" theo's mother asked worriedly, but Theo didn't bully her at all. He immediately went into his room in the apartment. "Rea, catch up with your husband. Lest Theo really get sick" he told Rea.
With hesitation, Rea obeyed the orders of her mother-in-law. Rea knocked on Theo's room door, but Theo did not respond. Not without reason he knocked on the door because during marriage they indeed separated the room without the knowledge of their parents.
Carefully, Rea entered Theo's room and found Theo stunned with a blank look at Shenina's photo. The heart of a wife who does not hurt when the husband is still confined in his past.
"Theo," called Rea while touching Theo's vibrating shoulders. "What's going on? Are you ... sick?" ask Rea slowly.
"Go!" tell Theo slowly. But Rea was still flinching in his place.
"I said go ya go! Are you deaf, huh!" theo's jolt makes Rea jump.
"Well," the great-grandson of Rea who immediately left the room with a wounded heart.
Theo's mother, who had been hiding behind the door, immediately moved with a rumble in her chest, "is this step I took wrong?"
There was a sense of regret and tightness in his heart. He thought marrying Theo to his chosen woman would be good for his son, but the opposite was true. Not only is his son now drowning in grief, but also his son-in-law who he believes is hurt in the attitude of Theo who has not been able to accept his existence.
Meanwhile, at Harold's residence, it appears that Jessica is persuading Harold to come to Shenina's wedding. If he can't get Rainero, at least he can use his second name to raise popularity and attract the rich men around Rainero.
"Come on Dad, are you coming to Shenina's wedding?" persuade Jessica.
"No. Daddy would never go to his wedding. For Daddy, he's dead" Harold said.
"Dad, however, Shenina is still Daddy's daughter. In his blood flowed Daddy's blood. What would people say if they knew Daddy as a father did not go to his wedding? There's just a Daddy's good name going bad. Daddy will be considered an irresponsible father by people" Jessica said.
"What Jessi said is true, my husband. Moreover, people know that Jessica and Shenina are brothers, what would they say if they knew Jessi wasn't there? I don't want Jessi's good name to be considered bad by people" Ambar persuaded Harold.
Moreover, this was his chance to show off that he had become a member of the Sanches family. Conglomerate families, famous families, wealthy families whose wealth will not run out of seven derivatives. No matter what their relationship with Shenina was not good, if they were already there, where might the Sanches family be able to deny their existence, he thought. Everyone would definitely be amazed and praise him for being able to enter the Sanches family. Although it was not Jessica who became Rainero's wife, many people who knew her knew that Shenina was also his daughter. Although only a stepdaughter. That's what he's thinking right now (halu.com)
Harold took a long breath. He seemed to think. Ambar and Jessica also continue to whine to persuade Harold to want to realize their wishes. To his horror, Harold agreed. Ambar and Jessica smiled in excitement. So that afternoon Ambar and Jessica went to a boutique that was famous enough to buy the best clothes according to their budget. Of course they will not waste the opportunity to perform the best so that they can get what they want.
