Naima frowned when she heard Aurora receive a video call from Andi. Naima could hear what Andi was saying.
"Otherwise it was Natalie? I'm lucky I haven't made him my daughter-in-law. I'd be ashamed if he were really my daughter-in-law. I was totally fooled by his kind attitude towards me. I thought she was the ideal dream daughter-in-law. In fact, only a beard is more despicable than comfort women. What would my son's household be, if he were to become my daughter-in-law?"naima muttered in her heart.
During this time Natalie was always there for her, always accompanying herself if Naima asked for it. Always listen to his complaints. He often bought branded goods for Naima. Therefore, Naima was fooled by all the kindness of Natalie. Naima thinks Natalie is the ideal son-in-law and wife for her son.
"Mama why?"asked Aurora who saw Naima daydreaming.
"Ah, that's okay,"so Naima who was stunned from her daydream, as Aurora asked her.
"Mama should take a nap. I'll take a nap too" Aurora said, then yawned.
"You used to take a nap?"asked Naima who saw Aurora looked sleepy.
"Yes, ma. Lately, I've gotten used to taking naps" said Aurora.
"Look, Rayyan kisses your stomach a lot. Are.. are you pregnant?"asked Naima doubtfully.
"Ah, yes," said Aurora with a faint smile.
"really? How many months has it been?"tanya Naima was enthusiastic.
Many socialite friends have grandchildren. And they often tell me how nice it is to have grandchildren. Sometimes they even bring their grandchildren when they are together. Hearing the stories of his social friends, and seeing their interactions while bringing their grandchildren, Naima also wants to have grandchildren.
And when she heard Aurora was pregnant, of course Naima was very happy. She will have grandchildren like her other socialite friends.
"Yes. Now it's been eight weeks, "that happy-looking Aurora. His hand reflexes stroked his own stomach.
Although Aurora did not love Rayyan at first, she hated her. But as time went on, they improved each other. Until finally loving each other. Especially since knowing that Aurora is pregnant, their love also grows and develops.
"Ah, mom is so happy. Finally mom will soon have a grandchild" said Naima who looks happy.
Aurora is moved to see Naima's enthusiastic and happy reaction to her pregnancy. Aurora did not expect that Naima's reaction would be like this. Given before, Naima disagrees if she becomes Rayyan's life companion. Always insulting her every chance, even dragging herself out of her room and about to throw herself out.
"Because of that, you should get well soon and take care of your health. So that later mama can pet the granddaughter of mama. Mom took a nap now. Later in the afternoon, I will take mama for a walk in the park, so that mama does not get tired of being in this room continue," said Aurora softly.
"alright. Mama's gonna take a nap, "so Naima's full of smiles. But a moment later, the middle-aged woman looked at Aurora with a different facial expression.
"What's the matter ma?"tanya Aurora seemed worried to see Naima's face turning into a wistful.
"Mama's sorry, because all this time mama's been insulting you, even dragging you to push mama out of the house mama. Mama also brought Natalie to destroy your household. Mama feels so guilty. Mama misjudged Natalie. My mother misjudged you. Apparently, the background of the family is not guaranteed someone has noble behavior and morality. Forgive me for everything you have done, that has hurt you," Naima said sincerely.
"I forgive my mother. I understand my mother's attitude. As a mother, you want your children to be happy. So it is natural that you want your children to get a good partner. The past let it pass. We open a new leaf," Aurora said sincerely.
"Thank you!"naima said, then hugged Aurora full of haru.
Aurora returned her mother-in-law's embrace. The woman felt overwhelmed and happy. Because in the end, Naima wants to accept herself as a daughter-in-law. However much her husband loves her, it is still incomplete if her husband's family does not accept her. Especially if the one who does not accept it is the biological mother of her husband.
While Naima was relieved because Aurora was willing to forgive herself. After all, Aurora was the woman that her son loved. And his son was happy with Aurora. As a parent, should he feel happy when he sees his son happy? Especially now that her daughter-in-law is pregnant with her family's successor. Shouldn't Naima be thankful that she's going to be a grandmother soon?
Often parents assume that they are always right. Think what they decide for their children is the best. On the name already eat the salt acid of life, which means more experienced. But they forget, they are also ordinary people who do not escape mistakes.

Natalie is upset about being humiliated in public again. And again the culprit is Andi.
"Based on the fucking assistant! He always gets me cornered and humiliated in public. Arghhh!"
"Prong"
"Brakk"
"Bugh.in.bugh.."
Natalie was so upset that she threw a mirror at her dresser with a chair in front of her dresser. Natalie also dropped all her makeup kit from the dresser. Ruffling his own hair like an insane person.
"What's wrong? What's going on?"jony asked who suddenly appeared. The man was stunned to see his daughter's room and also the sighting of his daughter.
Jony went home to pick up the documents left in her room. But when he wanted to go back to the office, Jony instead heard screams, the sound of broken glass and falling objects. Jony rushed into her daughter's room and saw a broken makeup mirror and makeup kit strewn across the floor. Not to mention when he saw his daughter's face that looked gloomy with disheveled hair.
"God.! Anything else with this kid? Is he starting to get crazy?"jony murmured inwardly after seeing how his daughter looked as well as his daughter's room.
"Father!"call Natalie straight into Jony's arms.
"There's anything else?"jony asked, returning his daughter's embrace.
"That damn assistant humiliated me in public again, pa," Natalie said.
"How can you?"ask Jony curiously. I don't know what else his low-IQ daughter did.
"I was eating at a restaurant that was booming lately. A waiter hit me until my shirt got dirty. But the owner of the restaurant that looked like Aurora instead told me to apologize,"
"Wait on! Like Rayyan's wife?"
"Yes, pa. Very simila. Therefore, I thought that he was Aurora. But it wasn't. And coincidentally there was also a woman who claimed to have worked in the same place with the woman. It works as a night butterfly. So I blasphemed him. But the goddamn assistant came like a hero. Defend the woman and turn things around. I am the only one who was publicly humiliated and humiliated. I hate that damn assistant. Can't papa get rid of that guy?"
Jony let out a long sigh at his daughter's words, "Now our position has become difficult. Rayyan moves in with Aiden. Slowly make papa began to have difficulty running a business. If they continue to press us like this, over time our company will be destroyed. Especially if you touch his assistant. It will only look for diseases and further complicate us. In the meantime, you don't have much behavior! Papa will try to keep our company. If it goes bankrupt, the business that papa built with great difficulty for many years will be destroyed. And we'll sleep on the streets" said Jony, who appears to be thinking a lot.
Lately Rayyan and Aiden have been pushing themselves in business. So Jony must desperately defend his company so as not to go out of business.
"But, pa.."
"There's no buts!"jony said cutting Natalie's words, "Don't add to papa's problems again! Papa's been pretty stressed with the company's problems. Please don't make papa more stressed!"
