PATIENCE

In front of her father and grandmother, Saskia was not very brave. However, when it was just the two of them he would be rude to Dania.

Dania is sad. Even though he and Saskia are only two years apart, he is still Saskia's brother from one father.

"Dad slapped me again!"Saskia's voice was heard outside. He was slapped again by Rivan. Reni must have told Rivan about all Saskia's disrespectful acts to Dania.

It has also become a common thing done by Rivan. Slapping her children if they are not nice to people, especially to their siblings, will also have an impact on Dania.

"Honey, how could you hit your son," said Kartika. They don't like to play with their kids.

"This is all because Saskia has gone too far on her brother. He should have been polite to Dania. Dania is his sister, after all."

Kartika tries to temper Rivan's emotions. She understood her husband's anger. To be honest, she was annoyed by the behavior of her daughter. However, Kartika felt guilty for causing Salsa's death. She wants Saskia to know that she loves her sincerely.

"Never mind. I can understand how Saskia feels. Her boyfriend is going to marry Dania. And she must have felt hurt, " said Kartika.

"Tika, don't always defend this stubborn child. If we follow her, we will be damned too. Since then, the late Salsa has always spoiled her. See now how it behaves. There is no custom!"

Saskia looked at the father with a look full of hatred. She snapped her foot and walked out without permission. Not long after, there was a roar of vehicles moving away. Rivan could only stroke the chest to see the behavior of his daughter that one.

"Why is Saskia not like Yunita and Dania. They are good children and very obedient. Yunita never snapped at Ms. Aryani. With Dania. Although at this time she was forced to be betrothed to someone she did not love, she was willing and sincere because she saw our difficulties."

"There will come a time later when Saskia will understand all the difficulties in life. SHe's never had a hard time. So, she thinks life will always go as she wants, " said Kartika.

Rivan could only take a deep breath and looked at his wife with a regretful look. Ah, how wise you think you are, Kartika. Rivan can only speak in his heart.

"Today I will visit Aryani and mother. You want to come?" asked Kartika.

"I haven't seen your mother in a long time, Tika."

"I want to take Dania first."

Kartika got up and stepped into her daughter's room. When she opened the door, Dania was lying on the bed with her face down.

"Dania, Dear. You okay?" she asked, stroking her daughter's hair.

Dania turned her body and looked at her mother.

"Mom, I am sincere. You used to say that if the soul mate and destiny that we can not choose. Nor can we choose from whose womb we are born. I'm sincerely married to Uncle Hardiyata's son. And yes ... it means also ready to accept Saskia's anger."

"You have always been a good girl. Now we go to your grandmother's house, it's been a long time since we've been there. I also want to share the news of your wedding next month, " said Kartika.

Dania nodded and immediately got up. sHe covered his scar with plaster and changed her clothes.

"Don't be silly, Darling. Just hug Steven, he's your future husband, " Nirmala said when she saw Dania looking stiff and hesitant as the stylist directed them to be photographed.

The two are currently in a pre-wedding photoshoot. Exasperated because Dania still looked embarrassed, Nirmala approached the mantle candidate and then pulled Steve's hand to hug Dania's waist.

Automatically, the bodies of the two are no longer apart, Steven's eyes accidentally meet Dania's two beautiful eyes.

"You follow my mother's words. Let's smile, " Steven whispered in Dania's ear. At that moment Dania's blood was rippling and pounding.

During this time, No Man has ever hugged Dania except Rivan - her father. So, Dania felt a little nervous and her cheeks started to blush.

"Don't fall in love with me," Steven said.

Dania tiptoed a little and then deliberately hung her hand around Steven's neck, then whispered in the young man's ear.

"I can't possibly fall in love with a jerk like you," she said and then smiled at the camera to make Nirmala excited.

"Well, is it good!" exclaimed Nirmala happily.

And then Dania threw away her shame. It follows every style instruction and does it perfectly. What wonderful acting.

"The photos are all great. Dania turned out to be talented as well as a photo model, " commented Nirmala while glancing at Saskia who happened to be there.

Hearing insinuations from Steven's biological mother makes Saskia seeing upset and looks sarcastically at Dania. If not in a crowded place, he would have grabbed his sister's hair hard. 'Hypocrite,' Saskia hissed inwardly.

Dania did not know if the younger brother was looking at her sarcastically. But, the girl deliberately took Steven's hand spoiled.

"What the fuck are you?"Steven whispered

"Remember, we must play well in front of your parents. Do you think your mama would smile like that if she was holding your hand?"Dania replied triumphantly.

Once in a while, he had to be brave and throw out the pity in his heart. His sister had to be given a little lesson so that she could appreciate others more.

"We'll have lunch, Dania. I have a gift for my beautiful daughter-in-law," Nirmala said, holding Dania's hand.

Steven, who did not dare to argue with his biological mother, just nodded without caring about Saskia's furious gaze.

"Kartika, the four of us in Steven's car. Let Hardi be with Rivan and Saskia. No, it's a problem, isn't it?"Nirmala said as she pulled Kartika's hand to get into the car making Saskia who was just about to ride backward back.

Steven was only able to scratch his non-itchy head and let out a long sigh.

They immediately headed to the restaurant that had been pre-ordered by Nirmala.

"Dania, I'm so proud to have a doctor's daughter-in-law. None of my friends have a beautiful and clever doctor-in-law like you. Later you can continue your S2 wherever you want. I will pay for everything, " Nirmala said.

Dania smiled and nodded. "Thank you very much, ma'am," she said, to which Nirmala smiled.
