56 We Meet Again (1/2)

”R-Rioko?”

”Sa-Sacchan!”

Rioko's face turned pale when she looked at Tereza. She quickly grabs her bouquet from Akira's hand. ”We meet again. Thank you and I'm sorry for bumping you. Why are you here?”

”Just having a medical check-up. How about you?”

”Oh...I'm-”

”Rioko-san! What are you doing?”

The people looked at the source of the voice, it was an old woman who wore expensive yet modest clothes. Her face was beautiful, when you take a closer look you didn't realize that she's already in her fifty. She's Daniel Chong's mother. Sarah's ex-mother-in-law. Tereza knows her from their engagement picture in her album and diary.The old Sarah mentioned her ex-mother-in-law quiet a lot. She said she was nice and a good mother, they often take pictures together when shopping or went to the party.

She looked at Tereza and stunned. She quickly covers her awkwardness with a smile. The family heard the news about her surviving and how she married after that. Their family was the one who annulled the marriage.

It was such same, the old woman here really like her ex-daughter-in-law. But she was missing and her son was in a coma. Of course, she couldn't ask Ginga family to wait for her son to wake up. They even didn't know when their son will be wake up or not. But they prayed that his son will survive. Even though they didn't have any bad attention to Sarah. Their resentment was still there. If only that night she stopped her son for going to the villa with Sarah.

”You are...Sarah.”

Rioko quickly walks to her side. Tereza looked at the smiling old woman. She recognized her ex-mother-in-law. ”Mam,” she bowed.

'Ma'am?' Ah~ She didn't call me mom anymore.

”Why are you here?” She asked while looking at the four of them and then her eyes looked at Tereza's stomach. ”You are pregnant?” she was surprised.

Tereza didn't know how to responded. She just smiled and nodded.

”Oh...” her tone became sad and she began to reminiscing her faults.

Rioko suddenly interrupted her thoughts, ”Mother, we should go now.” She urged her to go. Tereza looked at Rioko confusedly. Why she's in hurry?

”...Alright,” she said and look at Tereza again, ”Come and visit Daniel if you have time. He's in the VIP room.” She knows how her son loves Sarah. If he wakes up and hears that Sarah was already married. What happened to her son? His heart was probably broken. At least as his mother, she could do this much. When Rioko heard that, she let out 'Tch' and left the four people, she grabs Daniel Chong's mom's arm and went toward the elevator.

Tereza thought, 'He's in here?'

Alexandra disturbs her thought to ask her if she wanted to meet Daniel Chong. Akira and Hikaru from the start were watching. But they couldn't say anything and just watch their big sis talking. They knew that Daniel Chong was their big sis's ex-fiancee. But why the mother looks like she still reluctant to let Sarah go?

Tereza had a determined looked on her face. She nodded and walk to catch up Daniel Chong's mother and Rioko. They went inside the elevator together. Daniel Chong's mother talks a lot. Mostly was about Daniel Chong's conditions and how she regretted to let go a great daughter-in-law like Sarah. Tereza just smiled and didn't care about her complaining.

Akira and Hikaru were in bad mood. They didn't like this old woman. She almost like wanted to persuade big sis to come back to her son, Daniel Chong. Didn't she know that their big sis husband is Han Asuzawa? As they remember the vowed, they will keep on watch Tereza's movement. They didn't want to get scolded by Han once again.

Rioko was quiet from the start. Her smiling face was replaced with displease frown. While Alexandra was in awkward conditions. She didn't feel any connection to one of the problems that happen. So she just stood there quiet.

But the most awkward things was Tereza fragrance body. She smells so sweet, it made the elevator room smells good. For the people who used to see and be near her, they just thought it was something usual and natural. But for the people who rarely saw her. It almost like their surrounding became a flowers field.Alexandra felt the same way as the newbie here.

Ding!

They arrived at Daniel Chong's room. Alexandra and the other said that they could wait outside. So only her, Rioko, Daniel Chong's mother and Daniel Chong inside the room. There was a big glass window. So Akira and Hikaru could see Tereza's movement.
