"Racid?" arini asked with a small laugh because it was funny to see Leon's expression.

Leon shakes. He is regulating his breath. "You're pretty good too" Leon said as his breathing became a little bit normal. He did not think that Arini was heavy too, because it had been a very long time he did not hold his wife. The last time he had not done polygamy.

"Next time don't be so smart, you!" arini said as she laid herself down beside the child. "Come, sleep!" bring him.

"I'm going to the toilet first." Leon went to the bathroom in the room. After letting go of his urge to urinate, Leon returned to the room to sleep.

He and Arini sleep on the right and left sides. Their children sleep in the middle.

Jasmine and Joseph were too young to sleep in their own room. Fearing that the two boys would wake up in the middle of the night and need something, no one would help them.

Early in the morning Arini was awake. When he headed for the kitchen, Wulan and Ani were already there. Both are preparing breakfast.

Now their job des have changed by themselves. They both do homework and look after the kids together.

Actually, it's not Arini who changed that, but they both want to. Their reason was because Jasmine and Yusuf had grown up, so it was easy to foster.

Arini had no problem with that, as long as the two of them could be comfortable and do a good job, it didn't matter at all.

"What cooking?" ask Arini to both.

Two other people of that generation compactly replied, "Nasi uduk, ma'am."

Arini mangosteen only. They filled the fridge with food and vegetables. This morning they were able to cook.

"Wear balado eggs, too, yeah! I want to eat a balado egg. You have not eaten it for a long time" said Arini as he headed to the sink to wash his hands. Because she wants to help Ani and Wulan in the kitchen.

"Good, Mom." Again, both answered compactly.

"Darling, Yusuf crying. He's looking for you, he doesn't want to be with me" said Leon who suddenly stood behind Arini. The man yawned several times because he was still heavily sleepy.

Arini undoes her intention to help cook.

Hearing the information of her son crying, Arini immediately climbed the stairs to go to her room. He was with Leon behind him.

As soon as she reached her room, Arini immediately carried Joseph into her arms. "Cup cup cup... Joseph, Honey. What's up, son?" ask Arini gently.

Miraculously, after being embraced by Arini, the boy was instantly silent for a moment. Seeing that Leon could only shake his head while re-dilating himself next to Jasmine.

"What do you want, son? Going to the toilet?" arini asked Joseph who was still in his arms.

Yusuf shook his head.

Joseph often cried this way when he woke up early not to find his mother. If Arini is on duty, Leon is always in the fog to face Joseph. And usually after making a video call with his mother, Joseph just wanted to stop crying.

Meanwhile, Jasmine who did not feel disturbed at all was still slumbering while in Leon's embrace.

The man went back to sleep hugging his daughter.

"Au seleal, Ma," said Joseph when his weeping had subsided.

"Yusuf wants cereal?" ask Arini. "But wash your face and brush your teeth first, huh?" he said while looking at Yusuf with a big smile.

Then Arini carried the boy into the bathroom.

Time keeps passing. The files reported by Leon and his father have been processed by the authorities. Yep. Malvin can't stay silent seeing their business associates corrupt.

Indeed, the hell, Malvin doesn't have much stock in Leon's company. Only ten percent. But he would never stay silent to see that. Leon is his only son. Of course Malvin will fight to help his son.

The first hearing was held this afternoon. At the trial, Reza said that he no longer had money.

As Leon and Malvin know, Reza is not a difficult person. So where did that much Reza money go?

Reza owns a forty percent stake in the company. The rest belonged to Leon himself.

"If Reza doesn't want to pay, we can only imprison him" said Malvin, who sat in front of Leon.

Malvin, Pearl and Leon are in a coffee shop. Arini did not participate because the woman was working.

"Yes, how else, Pa. Actually Leon wants the company money back. Not to imprison Reza, meaning Om Reza." Leon corrected his words.

Since that incident, Leon so often cursed Reza with names only. Do not use "om" frills". Because of habit, finally now he would let go of saying that in front of his parents.

Fortunately, Malvin and Pearl were not bothered by it. Both parents did not seem to be dizzy.

"Papa and Mama can't linger here, Leon. Papa has a lot of work," said Malvin while taking a glass containing bitter coffee in front. He then sipped the coffee with pleasure.

Leon nodded. He knew his parents had a job. Therefore, he did not force the two to always be near him. He is also an adult.

Malvin and Mutiara were married at the age of eighteen. Therefore, when Leon was now an adult, the two of them were not too old.

They both got married young not by accident or anything. But because they are already capable of being born and inner.

At that time Malvin and Mutiara had worked in a well-known private company while studying. So they are capable of both mentally and financially.

"The next day we will go home" said Mutiara.

"Yes, Ma" Leon replied casually.

"You're lucky you have a wife like Arini. He is hardworking, understanding and patient" Pearl said as she looked straight at Leon.

Leon nodded and confirmed his mother's words. "Yes, Ma. If it wasn't Arini, Leon would have been left behind."

"Eat him, no more polygamy. If you hear the news that you are polygamous again, Mama will winnow so that Arini goes from your side" said Mutiara firmly.

"Yes, Ma. Leon promises not to repeat the same mistake twice" he said, looking down.

Meanwhile, Malvin just kept quiet to see his son and wife. He was alone with his coffee.

Malvin really likes coffee. Whatever it is, it's kind of coffee. He likes it as long as it is not sweet. Because he doesn't like sweet.
