Wiranto immediately gripped his wife's hand.
because it made him even more embarrassed in front of his in-laws
"Because I think that's a fair price for a woman who is willing to leave her husband on the first night," Gesya replied loudly.
She looked at her son-in-law with annoyance.
The dowry given by Dimas to Maura was indeed with the consent of both parents. Because Dimas before doing marriage proposal he first told something to his parents.
Mona looked at Gesya fiercely.
"Uncle ? Is that not too much?" Maura asked with a sad look.
Dimas shook his head and stroked his wife's face.
"No, it's not. That's a small price to pay for you." Dimas hugged Maura without feeling awkward. As for Maura, she felt embarrassed and also uncomfortable with her mother who had been staring at her sharply.
Naturally, Mona was angry and did not accept it, because Kila was only given a dowry of 20 grams of precious gold, while Maura was much bigger. Initially, Mona objected to the dowry given to Kila. However, Wiranto advised his wife to accept it. After all, after the marriage, their lives will be safe.
A few moments later everyone had gone home, leaving only Dimas' parents and Maura's family.
"Dimas. Dad and mom are going home, mom will be waiting for you tomorrow. You get some rest, Maura, I hope you can be a good wife for Dimas." said Gesya while stroking her daughter-in-law's shoulder.
Maura nodded.
"We take our leave. Please take care of our child, even though Dimas is already married to Maura. But, the previous problem has not been resolved." Bram said and after that, he and his wife left immediately.
"Maura. Follow mom!" Mona immediately pulled Maura without even asking Dimas' approval first.
Maura, who was still wearing a wedding dress certainly found it difficult to follow her mother's steps.
"Mom, slow down, Maura is having trouble taking a step." Maura pleaded in a soft voice
However, Mona did not listen to her daughter's words. Instead, she accelerated her pace. Until they arrived at Maura's room.
"Give the dowry given by Dimas. You don't deserve it, your sister deserves it more because she was your husband's first wife." Mona scolded as she held out her hand.
She looked at her child with a fierce gaze
Maura looked at Mona and shook her head.
"No ma'am. This is Maura's dowry, don't you already have your dowry, so why take mine?" Maura looked at her mother disappointedly.
"Ah, don't talk too much Maura. Hand over the dowry and also the car given by Dimas. I will give it to Kila when she returns home because she deserves it more than you. You're just a replacement woman. You understand." Mona gripped her child 's shoulder and didn't think about Maura's feelings.
Even though Maura was also her child what had happened was fate.
"Mom, but this is Maura's right. Maura can't leave it to Mommy." Maura reluctantly refused.
Mona's face became even redder. She gripped Maura's shoulder more and more strongly, making Maura grimace in pain.
It was getting more and more painful. Maybe if you look at Maura's shoulders, they are already red from her mother's behavior.
"Let go of my wife. What right do you have to hurt her, she is now mine and I don't want you to touch her!" Dimas said as he stood proudly in the doorway.
Maura looked at Dimas with teary eyes. As for Mona, she immediately pushed Maura.
"Dimas, you should know. Kila leaving must have been instigated by Maura. She must have forced Kila to leave because she also wants to marry you. I don't accept this, Dimas." Sargah Mona said loudly.
"Stop. Didn't you say yourself that your daughter left because she was disgusted to be married to me? Then why are you saying something else?" Dimas' question made Mona silent.
"Uncle, let's not talk about it. I'm okay. Mom, it's okay. Mom can go outside, me and brother Dimas want to rest."
Hearing that made Mona even angrier. She clenched her fists and stomped her feet.
Maura let out a rough breath and sat at the end of the bed with dewy eyes.
Dimas, who saw this, did not remain silent.
He squatted in front of his wife and touched Maura's face gently. This made Maura immediately look at Dimas awkwardly.
Dimas smiled softly and he looked at Maura with a gaze that was difficult to interpret.
"You are my current responsibility. Your safety and security are in my hands. Don't ever be afraid again." Dimas said trying to give peace to his second wife.
Maura tried to avoid it. She was not used to being too close to men.
"Sorry. Brother Dimas. I want to change my clothes first." Maura got up and went into the bathroom. She locked the bathroom door and leaned her body against the bathroom door.
Maura's tears did not stop crying. She cried over the fate she had received. She also felt guilty to someone. Someone who was always waiting for her love. How would the man react if he knew Maura was married?
Meanwhile, somewhere else. Kila was currently having fun with her boyfriend. She was spending time together in the hotel they had booked. Wasting bottles of drinks without thinking about the problems at hand.
"What a nice guy. He must be looking for me right now. Hahaha where would anyone want to marry a barren man like him, let me know the taste. Hahah." Kila babbled while sipping the drink in her hand.
In Wiranto's room.
"I regret your attitude, ma'am. You embarrassed me. I am ashamed of your behavior and also your favorite child. Do you need to give you a punishment? Huh? Should I send you to the village so you can live a simple life there and reflect on your mistakes? Do I need to divorce you because of your behavior we almost went bankrupt!" Wiranto continued to scold Mona. His patience and anger could no longer be contained.
