Chereads / *After Marriage* / Chapter 29 - Part 29

Chapter 29 - Part 29

Rindi's mother-in-law is getting lunch on the table. While Rindi helped Stefano get out of bed, her husband asked her to sit on the sofa with his parents.

"If you get dizzy, just lie down, okay?" said Rindi patiently.

Stefano smiled and nodded his head in agreement. Fano then sat in front of his mother sitting. Meanwhile, Fano's father had just come out of the bathroom to wash his hands. Fano's father then chose to sit next to his wife.

"After you are discharged from the hospital, quickly take care of marriage in the civil registry. Father never taught me to be an irresponsible man," said Fano's father firmly.

Fano nodded obediently, while Rindi looked at her husband and then held Fano's hand. Stefano also looked at Rindi, Fano smiled sweetly then nodded his head again.

"Don't talk about it first, your child is still sick," said Mrs. Fano.

"You're right, Eommonim. I don't mind either, Abeonim. Stefano is too busy lately so it's only natural that he doesn't have time to go to the civil registry," said Rindi defending her husband.

Fano's father looked at his wife and Rindi in turn. The middle-aged man then took a deep breath.

"You defend them too much," Stefano's father said then stuffed the egg roll into his mouth.

Rindi and Stefano looked at each other, Stefano just smiled faintly as he looked at his wife. Rindi then fed the porridge to her husband. He didn't want Stefano to be more stressed because of his father-in-law's words. Because for him now Stefano's health is more important.

***

After 3 days in Seoul and accompanying Rindi to take care of Stefano in the hospital. Today Rindi's two in-laws said goodbye to go home. Fano's mother hugged Rindi warmly.

"Thank you for being patient with me, Chan. I don't know anymore that Chan married another woman. Maybe she easily left, Chan," said Rindi's mother-in-law.

Rindi smiled and nodded slowly. Stefano's mother then released her arms and looked at Rindi. The woman who still looks beautiful at the age of 60, holds Rindi's cheeks.

"You also take good care of yourself here, if you are on holiday, come visit. I have learned Indonesian cuisine specifically for my daughter-in-law," continued Mrs. Fano again.

Rindi nodded enthusiastically then kissed her mother-in-law's hand.

"Don't disappoint Daddy again, you must immediately take care of your marriage documents with Rindi. Don't let the woman who dumped you again make you waver, and leave Rindi," said Fano's father softly while holding Stefano's shoulder.

His only son then nodded obediently at his father's advice.

"What are you talking about? Don't stress too much, Chan. Later he will be stressed and my son-in-law will take longer to take care of your child here," said Rindi's mother-in-law who did not hear the conversation between the two men.

After escorting her two in-laws, Rindi closed the door to Stefano's room slowly. Rindi then walked to Stefano's bed. Rindi looked at her husband with pity. Rindi smiled and then stroked Stefano's mane gently.

"Don't think too much about your words, Abeonim. The problem is that you record our marriage in the civil registry or not, it's up to you," said Rindi.

Stefano looked at Rindi with a confused expression, why did Rindi say that? Stefano took a sitting position, then pulled Rindi to sit on the edge of the bed. Rindi looked at Stefano with a frown.

"You don't want our marriage to be officially registered? Or do you still want to leave me again?" Stefano said to his wife.

Rindi looked at Stefano then shook his head slowly. Rindi, who initially only wanted to help Stefano get rid of the scandal, now doesn't want to part with the man she loves so much.

"If you don't have such thoughts. After I get home from here, let's take care of all our marriage documents. I don't want you to leave me again, Rin."

Stefano hugged Rindi and then hid his head in the crook of Rindi's neck.

"Promise you'll never leave me again," Stefano said quietly.

Rindi smiled and hugged her husband warmly and nodded in agreement.

"I don't want to know, Appa has to take care of everything. That girl can't have Stefano completely. She's mine, Appa," Hyu Jin whined as he sat with his father on the sofa in his family room.

Bang Hyu Sik sighed then nodded in agreement with his only child's request.

"Don't worry, Appa has prepared everything to take care of it. Whoever prevents Stefano from being my son-in-law, Appa will take care of it," Bang Hyu Sik said while stroking Hyu Jin's mane gently.

Bang Hyu Sik, who loves his son so much, doesn't want his son to not get what he wants. From the beginning, whatever Hyu Jin asked for, Bang Hyu Sik would obey. Including taking Stefano from Rindi at this time.

Hyu Jin himself was actually Fano's ex-lover, who had left Fano when the talkative man was still at the peak of fame. Hyu Jin chose to go to America to pursue his dream and left Fano who at that time really loved Hyu Jin. Stefano was even under a lot of stress at that time, not to mention the pressure from the agency that required Stefano and his group to always perform anywhere. Stefano's physical and mental exhaustion worsened his condition, which is also a phobia of darkness.

Stefano's apartment is now full of Fano's friends, who when they get together will be noisy. Stefano had been sitting on the sofa with Jay and was discussing his marriage documents with Rindi. He is healthy and allowed to go home this afternoon. Meanwhile, Rindi is busy making food in the kitchen with Nana.

"Thankfully, Stefano is healthy now," Nana said while stirring the pandan pancake batter.

Rindi smiled and then nodded her head.

"So, where did you go that day? Victor was confused looking for you, Rin," Nana continued then asked out of curiosity where Rindi went that day.

Victor who searched his house did not say anything other than asking where Rindi was. Nana becomes even more curious when suddenly, news of Stefano being admitted to the hospital after a few days.

Rindi smiled faintly then patted Nana's shoulder lightly.

"Don't ask that again okay? The important thing is I'm here now. Eo?" Rindi said not wanting to answer Nana's question.

There was a soft snort from Nana out of annoyance, Rindi smiled amused at Nana's expression.

"You are mysterious, Mrs. Stefano," said Nana later.

Rindi laughed, even more, when she heard Nana's call for her.

The noise was still heard until this late at Stefano and Rindi's residence. Everyone was planning to stay except for Nana of course. After taking Nana home to the front of the apartment, Rindi went back up to her husband's apartment. From a distance, Rindi saw a woman enter Stefano's apartment. Rindi's brows knit together and then quicken her pace.

"That must be Hyu Jin," Rindi muttered later.

"Why are you here at night? It's not good to come to a man with a wife this late," said Victor sarcastically.

Victor has always disliked Hyu Jin the most. Besides being too spoiled, Hyu Jin also always uses his father's name to make them all obey his wishes.

Stefano stood up from his seat and held his best friend's arm gently. Victor turned to Stefano. Victor saw Fano's head slowly shaking as if to tell him not to continue. Victor sighed in annoyance as he looked at Fano in disbelief.

"Because of this, he always plays with your feelings, Hyung. You're too patient with women like him," said Victor and then walked away from Fano's apartment.

Everyone looked at Victor leaving with confused faces. Why is Victor so emotional now? Rindi who passed Victor in the doorway grabbed Victor's hand quickly.

"Where are you going? Don't go home if you're still angry like this. Danger, Vic," Rindi said forbidding Victor to go.

Victor looked at Rindi then shook his head again.

"I'm too lazy to meet that girl."

Victor was about to walk away. Rindi again grabbed Victor and then brought her husband's best friend back in.

"Go to the room now if you don't want to see him," Rindi said firmly.

An annoyed Victor still obeys Rindi's words. Victor stepped into the guest room that they usually occupied when they came to visit.

Hyu Jin snorted seeing Victor so obey Rindi's words. A moment later Hyu Jin was already clinging to Stefano's arms.

"Why don't you tell me when you're home? Can't I pick you up," said Hyu Jin in a spoiled voice.

Rindi looked at Hyu Jin with a slightly displeased face. Rindi sighed and then walked over to the two people in front of her.

"He already has a wife, why did you pick him up," Rindi said as he pulled Stefano's hand away from Hyu Jin.

Hyu Jin's eyes are full of anger now looking at Rindi. Meanwhile, Stefano's other friends opened their mouths wide in surprise. They were surprised because Rindi was getting bolder to face Hyu Jin, whose behavior irritated her. Jay smiled crookedly then raised his two thumbs up at Rindi who was looking at him now.
