In-laws Vs Son-in-law
Chapter 10

Kania stared blankly at the starless night sky. He stood on the balcony of his room. Her memory goes back to the story of Lady Louis and her son Jasson.

They tell Kania about the tragedy that befell Louis' family. They say Karen was kidnapped by her own nanny. Five years ago, they managed to find the nanny.

Unfortunately, the nanny said Karen had been dead since she was seven. But they don't believe. Because of this, the Louis family performed DNA tests on Karen's skeleton.

"*Is that skeleton really Karen's?" ask Kania.

"No. Therefore, we demand truth from that nanny. Finally, he told the truth. Karen went missing after they were gone for a week from home." Lady Louis told me everything.

"At that time, we started offering gifts, for those who found Karen. Unfortunately, many in the community are just confessing. In the end, we decided to announce Karen's death.

"While in fact, we're still searching for his whereabouts to date." Lady Louis looked sad.

"I understand how it feels, Madam. Because I'm also looking for my biological parents" Kania* tells me*.

Not only Lady Louis, Kania also tells of her journey in searching for the whereabouts of her parents. However, until now it has not yielded results.

Not until there, Kania also told me if he was in an orphanage since childhood. In fact, the caretaker did not remember exactly when Kania came.

"Well, I guess I'm the only one who's lost. Apparently, they are too. In fact, they should feel lied to people. Poor thing," muttered Kania.

A hand was coiled around his waist. Hugged him from behind. Makes Kania look and smile. He also rested himself on the chest of the husband's field.

Yes, the one who embraced Kania was her husband, Kris. The man kissed the top of Kania's head repeatedly.

"Mama said you disappeared in the mall. Right?" ask Kris.

"Yes. We'reseparated. By the time I caught up, my mom's car was gone. Maybe you think I went home first. So, he's back to making sure." Kania did not tell Kris, if he was interested in hearing the story of Mrs Louis.

"Where don't you want to tell me?" Kris turned his wife's body to face him.

"Listen to a story" Kania replied.

"What story?"

"You know the Louis family tragedy?" Kania asked back.

Kris nodded his head. Kania starts asking questions about what Kris knows about Karen. Whether they know each other, or just a business relationship.

"To be honest, I don't know Karen personally. Moreover, he had been missing since a young age. Then, it was found dead five years ago. Incidentally, their company often uses artists from your company to become brand ambassadors, or just be an advertising model."

"Why are you interested in Karen's story?" ask Kris.

"I feel sorry for her mother. She looks so sad to lose her beloved daughter. Do you think my mom would be like that?" Kania's face looks sad.

Chris hugged his wife tightly. Drown Kania's head in her chest. "Of course, honey. No parent can live a quiet life after losing their child."

Kania tightened her embrace. "Hopefully," please Kania.

Like a destiny. Dirga contacted Kania. He said that a brand wants to make itself an ambassador of their trademark.

"Brand what, Mas?" ask Kania.

"Brand XX's. You know, 'How expensive is that brand?"

"Seriously?" Kania did not believe what he heard.

"Seriously. We're being asked to come for a meeting tomorrow at his office. All contract signatures. I hope this will be the beginning of your success."

Madam Tama approached Kania and handed her a paper bag. Kania stared at the paper bag for a long time. Then, look at her mother-in-law.

"Next time, don't go without telling me!" said Mrs Tama ketus. "Take this! It's taken from Louis's family."

Hearing the surname, Kania picked it up with a smile. "Thank you, ma'am," said Kania.

"Curtain! I don't know what special you are. To the point that they gave away the gift! Even to say, if it's special for you!"

Madam Tama looks dislike, if there are others who pay attention to Kania. For some reason, he seems to hate it.

Kania opened the paper bag. Inside, there was a small jewelry box. Kania took it out and looked at the contents of the box.

"It's so pretty" muttered Kania. He likes the bracelet. "Similar to yesterday."

Both Madam Tama's eyes widened."Jesus, Kania! Don't tell me you asked for that bracelet yesterday, so it disappeared all of a sudden!" accuse Mrs Tama.

"I'm not asking, Madam. Really." Kania told the truth. He never asked for anything from them.

"Don't lie to you! There's no reason for them to love you gini-rich expensive stuff!" Madam Tama took the bracelet that Kania was holding.

"Basic of lowly men! He could have humiliated me in front of Lady Louis by asking like this. He thinks I believe what he says? You idiot!" maki Madam Tama walks away from Kania.

Kania's heart ached to hear her mother-in-law's actions. Kania's tears fell down. Quickly she wiped away the tears.

The next day, Dirga picks up Kania. Because of XX's office location, it's closer than there. Madam Tama who saw Dirga's whereabouts, looked at him cynically. Seeing that, manager Kania could only stroke the chest.

"Yuk, Mom!" bring Kania.

"Where are you going?" ask Mrs Tama ketus.

"I have a meeting for an advertisement, Ma" replied Kania.

"Oh" said Mrs Tama.

After kissing the back of her mother-in-law's hand, Kania and Dirga immediately slid away from the mansion.

"Lo is rich in witchcraft" said Dirga.

Kania only responded with a smile. He doesn't want anyone else to know Mrs Tama's true nature. However, Kania is already part of the Tama family. He is obliged to maintain the good name of his husband and in-laws.

"Lo live there?" ask Dirga suddenly.

"Reply," lied Kania.

"Lo thought, could you lie from me? I can see, yeah, if he doesn't like Lo."

Kania remained silent. Letting Dirga conclude for herself. Although, he knew everything Dirga said was true. That guy, too smart to read the situation.

"Partially, why did you want to, anyway, marry Kris? I'm sure he would agree in front of him. But behind .. will never be. Because it's already been, yes, how do you want.

"Listen, yes, Kan. My advice is you should move out of that house. However, staying one roof with people who do not like us, will only make the mind stressful. Moreover, if you're pregnant again."

"I didn't teach Lo to be disobedient. But, that model-in-law Lo, looks like two faces. In front of another Lo man, behind another."

Seeing Kania silent, Dirga continued her words. "If you're not ready to tell, don't tell!"
