Jasmine looked at her reflection in the mirror with a very charming appearance wearing a navy blue dress to the knee and pinning part of her straight and natural black hair back, polishing her face with light make-up and spraying perfume on her body.
"Ready?" Keenan kissed the crook of Jasmine's neck from behind as he wrapped his arms around his wife's stomach. The man was also so handsome and charming by wearing a dark blue shirt combined with black jeans and combing his hair in a pompadé style.
.Keenan looked at his and Jasmine's reflection in the mirror. He kissed his wife's beautiful cheek and always made him lose control. "We're just going to have dinner at Mrs. Nia's house, but you're so pretty and look enthusiastic," he whispered with a low, sensual groan.
"I don't know why," jasmine sighed then turned to face Keenan, her hands moving to adjust the collar of her husband's shirt. "I just feel I have to be polite because this is a dinner invitation from your business partner. And I also always think of mommy when I see her, for some reason?"
Jasmine started to get unusual and turned her face away.. Keenan touched Jasmine's chin to make her face him again and then brought his forehead together with his wife's forehead. "Why are you so nervous, Hem? Is something bothering you? Did mom ask for more money?"
Jasmine shook her head and lowered her head. "Mommy still can't be contacted. I'm afraid she's caught by the police or anyone because she sold young girls. I've warned her to stop the illegal work but she always refuses. I wanted her to go on the right path but now she's unknown going anywhere."
Keenan immediately embraced Jasmine who was starting to feel sad then rubbed her shoulder. "We'll try to go to her house again, who knows she's already home," he said, then remembered about Nia, who is his wife's biological mother.
'Hopefully, Mrs. Nia will confess everything tonight because I can't see my wife continue to be sad thinking about that crazy pimp of wealth,' he thought as he continued to hug his wife lovingly then let go of the hug and kissed her forehead.
"We'd better leave now...I don't like it if I make Mrs. Nia wait too long," said Jasmine with a flat look, then walked towards the bed where she had prepared a small white branded bag that her mother-in-law gave her to take with her every time she travels.
Keenan immediately took Jashmine's hand and led him out of his luxury apartment then closed the door that was locked automatically. He walked down the lobby to the elevator without removing his wife's smooth hand from his.
Until a few moments to the ground floor by taking the elevator, Keenan and Jasmine remained silent until they reached the ground floor and they walked out of the magnificent residential building to the parking lot where Keenan's car was. The man immediately took his wife into the car and drove her to Nia's house, which incidentally is the real mother-in-law.
___
Arriving there, Nia greeted Keenan and Jasmine with great enthusiasm along with her husband as well. The middle-aged woman who wore a maroon dress to her knees and curled her hair smiled happily when she saw that her daughter was so beautiful and in perfect harmony with her husband.
Wildan, who already knew that his guest was his wife's biological daughter, who had been told by his wife for several days, also smiled in admiration at her beauty, which was very similar to his wife's. 'This time I believe that she is indeed my wife's daughter and will be my daughter too. I hope she will accept this reality and want to be part of our family,' he thought with a smile to greet Jasmine.
"I have cooked specially for you, I hope you like it," Nia exclaimed as she pulled a chair to invite Jasmine and Keenan to sit, then she sat beside her husband.
"Wow, your cooking must be delicious," Jasmine muttered with a smile, looking at some of the food menus that were neatly arranged on the table. "You cook this much alone?"
"Yeah, probably the maid also helps prepare the ingredients," Nia replied with a relieved smile looking at Jasmine, who seemed to like her cooking. Of course, she was relieved because she cooked all the food with the love of a mother who welcomes her only daughter.
"Please enjoy your meals," Nia exclaimed then took the initiative to get food for Jasmine and Keenan and her husband too. "Ah, let me get it."
"No need, Mrs, let me take it myself," said Jasmine, touching Nia's hand, intending to prevent her from getting food for her, because she felt it would be rude to be served by an older one.
Jasmine took over by getting food for everyone in the dining room. She looked dexterous and a smile was always growing on her lips as if she was happy and forgot about her mother's problem who had not given news since earlier.
Until about 30 minutes they eat together while exchanging stories about each other's experiences. Nia was very touched when she heard how Keenan told about the first time he got married to Jasmine. Jasmine also told the story of her life full of poverty, it was like a slap to Nia who didn't find her long ago until she suffered in the confines of her friend who was crazy about money.
After dinner, Keenan and Wildan chatted in the living room, while Jasmine and Nia chatted on the sofa in the living room.
Nia glanced at Jasmine who was so friendly to her, it made her feel confident to claim to be her biological mother.
"Sweetheart, I want to say something important and this might be very difficult for you to accept," Nia said, bending her face.
"Just say it, Mrs," said Jasmine with a reassuring smile that she would accept what the middle-aged woman in front of her said.
"Actually...." Nia sighed in exasperation and hesitated to tell the truth.
"What?" Jasmine asked looking into Nia's eyes with a probing look.
Nia is getting doubtful seeing Jasmine so curious. She closed her eyes for a moment and tried to resolve to tell the truth. "I'm your biological mother," she said quickly.
"What? Mother?" Jasmine couldn't believe what she was hearing until she smiled faintly and shook her head. "Are you kidding Mrs. My biological mother is your best friend and you can't be my biological mother?"
Nia held both of Jasmine's shoulders and looked at her face with teary eyes. "She was the one who took care of you since you were a baby, but I am your mother, your biological mother."
Jasmine was silent as if she didn't know what to say, her lips seemed unable to speak and her breath began to catch on with her heart beating faster than usual. Trembling, she looked at the middle-aged woman who was looking at her with teary eyes, then removed her hand from her shoulder.
"No way, you're not my mother. I'm just a pimp's daughter!" Jasmine shook her head in disbelief then glanced at the magnificent house she was visiting, much different from the house owned by her mother who had cared for her since childhood. 'If she's my mother, then why let me live in poverty when she has enough?' She wondered while looking at Nia who she admitted was similar to her face and she felt comfortable around her.
"Believe me, I am indeed your mother," Nia exclaimed with tears starting to fall while holding Jasmine's hand.
"Impossible!" jasmine immediately pushed Nia's hand away and got up from the sofa. She immediately walked with brisk steps towards out of the house past the living room where there were Keenan and Wildan who were chatting.
"Jasmine, wait mommy!" Nia exclaimed while walking after Jasmine.
Keenan and Wildan immediately walked after the mother and daughter who were walking out of the house.
Jasmine immediately got into the car and burst into tears. She imagined how Marta had treated her harshly as a child, then sold her when she was an adult. And now, there is a rich woman who claims to be her mother. "Why only come now if you are my mother? Why let me suffer, live like a pimp's child, and always be shunned by friends. Why only come now? No, no way! this must be wrong and she's not my mother, my mother is still Marta!"
