After eating together, Arland suddenly got up and went to his table. He picked up the paper bag that was there and brought it closer to Kania. Taking the box out from there and making Kania wonder at him.
"What's that?" ask Kania kepo.
"Look at yourself," Arland replied briefly as he handed it to Kania.
The woman opened it, and was surprised to find a set of diamond earrings there. Kania suddenly looked at Arland for an explanation, but instead of talking her husband approached her. Take her earrings and help put them on.
"You're pretty wearing it!" arland exclaimed while staring in awe at Kania.
"But who is this for?" ask Kania who does not want to big head. Thought for him, but he was just asked to try.
"For you, who else. You think I'm what kind of man I dare to think that maybe it's not for you" Arland explained with a slight nag.
"Who knows, who knows all this time you will often buy other women," said Kania who was not cared at all by Arland.

In the days that followed, Arland and Kania's married life became more harmonious. Although several times the two are still often debating, but it is not a problem but something that makes them closer.
"Tomorrow Mama's birthday, you don't have to go to work today. Go shopping and buy a gift from us for mama" explained Arland when currently Kania is helping to put a tie on for him.
"Why don't you come, I don't want to go alone. I think you also want your gift of choice" Kania suggested.
Arland shook his head, then rubbed Kania's cheeks gently. "I can't. I had a meeting with an important client today and it couldn't be represented" Arland said.
Kania immediately brushed Arland's hand off her cheek, then pushed her husband away from her.
"Go away. Just let this pregnant woman suffer herself and also the old woman who has given birth to you is suffering because her own child is more concerned with work than her own mother" Kania quipped sharply.
Arland was stunned, but then he was completely powerless to grant his wife's request. His mother and wife are important, but his job is really not abandoned.

Kania stared bored of her groceries, not interested in what she was carrying. Although expensive, but she was also sure her mother-in-law would not feel special because even Kania herself did not have a taste in choosing her and Arland did not come with her.
Pregnancy makes him tired quickly and the woman decided to stop and sit at the restaurant in the mall, just for a short break, and lunch.
"Poor pregnant woman, where's your husband? Whether he is bored or not just to accompany you!" said someone made Kania turn her head, and was surprised to find it was Keenan who spoke.
"You here?" kania replied surprised staring unexpectedly would meet her ex there.
"Wah-wah, of course Kania. Why should I be surprised. This mall doesn't belong to your super-rich husband, so it doesn't matter if I'm here," said Keenan while then presumptuously taking a seat at the same table with Kania without permission.
"Go and don't sit here, I don't want to talk to you!" kania does not want to be basabasi.
The rest of the love was gone completely, changing with feelings that began slowly to accept her own husband. After being humiliated and even publicly denigrated with all the accusations, how could Kania still be able to maintain her feelings. Now even he did not feel guilty for leaving Keenan, because now Kania felt that was what should have happened.
For someone who does not believe in his partner and easily turns away, how could there still be room in the heart for someone like that. Kania realized it would only hurt herself.
"I really don't want to talk to you anymore, Keenan, understand!" yelling Kania began to be careless, but it seems Keenan does not want to understand it.
"Basic cocky. Just become a snatch for your own sister's husband and double as a net-producing offspring for the dog-an Arland. You are so proud!!" furious Keenan insulting.
Make Kania can't stand it and stand up immediately. "Go!!" kania said she did not want to say anything more.
Still in defiance, Keenan continued there until provoking Kania's emotions and attracting the attention of people who also ate there and security.
The byurr!!
The water in Kania's drinking glass immediately slid onto Keenan's head, and within moments a loud slap landed on his cheek in return from Keenan.
"That's why you dare insult me!!" growled Keenan, while Kania still held her cheek that had just been slapped.
This time he was so grateful to leave Keenan and thought it was good luck. The man who was being sweet was not as good as the original and look at Keenan he even showed his true self. Like a kedondong fruit, smooth outside, but it turns spiked inside. Though he considers Keenan is a kind man all along.
"Taste-"
"Hey, get the hell out of here. I see you've been looking for trouble since this big brother!!" yelling someone stopped Keenan who was about to molest Kania back with his slap.
She was a young girl and looked somewhat tomboyish from her appearance, or even from her voice.
"Who are you a girl, don't interfere. This is our business!!" exclaim Keenan growled.
But instead of answering, the young girl instead shouted and called for security which then drove Keenan from there. Makes Kania very grateful to him.
"Thank you for driving the man out of here" Kania said sincerely.
"No problem, brother, but if you should know he has been bothering you from the beginning, next time immediately call the security officer here. So next time you don't get that kind of violence again. Ah, yes and see how the sister is pregnant should be at home only and next time do not wander alone," the girl advised wisely. His words were much more mature than his age.
Kania nodded her head and agreed, feeling that there was nothing wrong with it.
"Well where the house is, brother. Let me drop you off, who knows the stalker guy was following Brother," the girl said.
"No need for k-"
"Side. Ah, yes my name is Sisi, Sis!"
"Ah, yes Sisi. Not necessary. I actually picked up my driver later and introduced my name to Kania."
They became close in an instant, and that afternoon they accompanied each other for another shopping. Kania invites Sisi to shop for other necessities for her mother-in-law's birthday gift. While Sisi also invited her to shop for souvenirs for her mother. Apparently the girl had just returned from her place to go to school outside the city, had no time to buy anything there, which is why she went to the mall to buy something for her mother. Because it feels bad to go home empty-handed.
