This morning as usual, Arina sat at the dinner table with her two step-sisters and their spouses.
Joseph and his wife Lena, and Margaretha with her husband Aron. Josep and Lena have a handsome six-year-old son. But Margaretha and Aron still do not have a baby despite the couple's two years of marriage.
Arina sat in the most distant seat, from the head seat to the family her father used to occupy. But this morning the chair, which Arina's father used to occupy, had been occupied by Joseph.
During his father's illness, Joseph was appointed as his successor. And about Arina's marriage to Hiroshi, it was also Joseph who took care of it.
Joseph must have talked about it so sweetly to his father that his father was lying helplessly in his bedroom bed. Agreeing that Arina marry Hiroshi as soon as possible.
"Where are you going?" joseph asked Arina.
Arina does not usually wear formal clothes when at home. Especially now that Arina is wearing a set of jewelry, which Joseph knows was a gift from the Hiroshi family to Arina, as a gift of Arina's return from America a few days ago.
"Hiroshi invited me to attend a shareholder meeting this morning!" arina replied without taking her eyes off her breakfast plate.
This morning the breakfast menu at the Ferdinan residence is Steak Salmon and toast and salads are healthy. For the Ferdinan family who are accustomed to maintaining a diet, for their respective health. A breakfast menu like this, was already filling enough for their elite stomachs.
"Aren't you supposed to thank me? Find a good husband, for the step-sister... So hard!!!" joseph said in a satirical tone to Arina.
Arina was just silent, she didn't want to say anything at the moment. Fighting with her brother was not a good choice, when her father was lying sick in this magnificent house.
If until Arina's father hears, Arina and Joseph yell because of mutual tension, it could be that the condition of his father will worsen.
"That's right! The Kyomi family is one of those families with incredible wealth.
"They are highly respected and respected in the business world! What's more Hiroshi, Young Master Kyomi Grub is so handsome!" Margaretha.
Arina is very familiar with both of her half-brother's traits. There's no way they're going to match Arina to someone nice. His two half-brothers must know how to temper the emotional Hiroshi.
The betrothal of Hiroshi and Arina, must have been a tool prepared by her two half-brothers to torture Arina.
"But I heard, Hiroshi from Kyomi grub once killed a servant in his house!" lena said Joseph's wife innocently.
Lena's honest words made Arina, stop the activity of chewing bread in her mouth.
'So right, they know that Hiroshi likes to torture women!' arina said in her heart.
"What did you say, Miss Lena?!" Margaretha snapped at her own sister-in-law. "That's not true! It was just an accident!" margaretha continued with eyes swirling indistinctly.
Surely the woman who was two years older than Arina, was giving a code so that her brother-in-law did not talk about Hiroshi's crimes again in front of Arina.
"Where would I possibly match my own little sister with a bad man?! Yep...Even though my little sister is only a half-sister!" said Joseph.
From the vocabulary he spoke it was clear that Joseph did want to torture Arina, through the Hiroshi family.
"Thank you brother, I will try not to disappoint you!" said Arina.
There were no other words, which Arina could say to her two half-brothers.
Should have been when he was in America he did not live a relaxed life, should Arina looking for a good job and work hard.
But what can a meek girl who has never worked like Arina do. Moreover, his father did not allow Arina to work in America.
Maybe Karma has come to him, precisely is his mother Karma who has taken her father from her stepbrother's second mother.

Arina goes to Kyomi group escorted by her father's personal driver.
"Is there a problem, Miss?" ask the driver to Arina.
Mr. Bambang is used to talking casually with Arina. Ask each other the news or circumstances, often they do even when Arina was still in America.
You could say only Mr. Bambang who supports Arina in Ferdinan group. Although the strength of Mr. Bambang in Ferdinan group is not strong. But at the Ferdinan family residence, Mr. Bambang is a driver who is very respected by all members of the Ferdinan family.
All the people who worked in the private residence of the Ferdinan family were the chosen ones. They are very loyal to Ferdinand group, Pak Bambang and Mbok Don also have a big contribution in the success of Arina's father.
Mbok Don and Pak Bambang grew up together with Arina's father. They've devoted 30 more years of their lives, to the Ferdinant group.
Arina's father already considered the two men like his own siblings, who could not betray him even though he died later.
Mbok Don and Pak Bambang are even listed in Grandpa Arina's will. When the leader of the previous Ferdinan group died, Mbok Don and Pak Bambang were appointed as household heads at the Ferdinan residence.
Because of the will, no one could ruffle the household in Ferdinan's residence, including Arina's two half-brothers.
