Chapter 69

After realizing that Randa had lied to her, the next day Ariana invited Samuel's cousin to have lunch together. I mean, I want to ask for clarification directly and at the same time give a long lecture on what that man did to him.

That's why, after dropping Kalvin off at Arabella's house, Ariana hurriedly approached her husband first at the office. As soon as he arrived, he chose to wait for a while in Samuel's room because the man was currently still attending a meeting with other Palma officials.

"After a more in-depth evaluation, there have been no more obstacles found in this project. I think, in the future, all that remains is to monitor all forms of tower construction progress and then we will discuss it again.

Randa seemed serious about presenting and chairing today's meeting. Meanwhile, Samuel watched from her seat. Occasionally noted down the important points that his cousin conveyed.

"From our side, there are not the slightest problems or matters that need clarification, Pak Randa," said Agatha, who was a participant in today's meeting. "In the future, we also hope that this project can run optimally without the slightest problem. Yes, even if there are some problems that arise, hopefully they can be handled properly. And also, we believe that this project can run smoothly because it is handled by the people very competent person."

Randi nodded. The man flashed a wide smile. Grateful because today's important meeting which was attended by various important relations could run smoothly until it was finished.

"Once again, thank you very much for your trust. Since everything is very clear and there is nothing else that needs to be evaluated or discussed, I think today's meetings and gatherings are very sufficient. After this we can go back to carrying out what was planned. In that case, See you at the next meeting."

After closing the meeting, the participants, both expert staff and also several representatives from the client's side, one by one started to leave the room. Until only Randa, Samuel, and also Agatha were left, who still seemed busy tidying up several files into the folder she was carrying.

As soon as she finished, the beautiful woman stepped forward. Approaching and then invited his two colleagues to chat for a moment.

"Mr. Randa, Mr. Samuel, thank you for today's meeting. The explanation of the progress of the business was truly beyond expectations. I did not expect this tender to run so quickly."

Randy smiled again. Of course he was flattered to get a compliment like this.

"You're welcome, Mrs. Agatha. I'm only carrying out what has become my responsibility. What is certain, Palma is serious about working on this ongoing project."

Agatha nodded in agreement. He did admit that the performance shown by his relations was in line with expectations.

"For that, as a celebration of the smooth running of this project, how about we have lunch together? I will treat this time."

Agatha said while glancing at Samuel. I really hope that Randa and her ex-lover will accept her offer.

"Thank you very much for the offer, Mrs. Agatha," Samuel said politely. "I personally ----"

"Honey .... "

From the door suddenly appeared the figure of Ariana. The beautiful woman who had been waiting in her husband's study now chose to follow him into the meeting room. Opening the door, then entered Samuel who was engaged in conversation.

"Ariana," Samuel said while looking at her wife walking towards her. "How long have you been here?"

Agatha who was there was silent for a moment. At first the woman's face looked surprised. Then, after a while, he resumed the sentence he had cut off earlier.

"Mr. Samuel, how are you? Do you have lunch together?"

Samuel's eyes shifted again. He turned and looked at Agatha.

"Ms. Agatha, introduce yourself first. This is Ariana, she is my wife."

This time Agatha was really surprised. After previously having crossed paths in Samuel's room, now he meets Ariana again. And just found out that the pregnant woman is the wife of her ex-boyfriend.

Agatha had heard about Samuel's marriage. But, he tried to ignore. And now? He really didn't expect that Samuel's wife was the woman he was facing now.

"So this is Mr. Samuel's wife?" muttered Agatha a little shocked.

Ariana smiled sweetly, holding out her hand on purpose. Inviting the woman in front of him to shake hands.

"Ariana Grey. I am the wife and mother of Samuel Walters's children," he said deliberately. There was a tone full of emphasis as he introduced himself. As if giving confirmation that he is the owner of an Artendra.

"Agatha. Nice to meet Miss Ariana."

Ariana nodded briefly then turned back to her husband.

"Come on, honey. So have lunch together, right?"

"So please. Randa is also waiting for you."

"Okay, come on. Hurry up."

Samuel certainly didn't forget Agatha. Once again the man glanced at his ex-lover. "Ms. Agatha, I thank you in advance because earlier I was invited to have lunch together. Actually, earlier I wanted to inform you that I had an appointment with my wife."

"But if you want to join, that's fine. We'll just go eat at the cafe next to the Palma building," added Ariana. Deliberately invited Agatha to join in for lunch with him and his husband.

Agatha immediately shook her head. How could he also accept Ariana and Samuel's invitation to have lunch together. It's just lazy if you see intimate moments or togetherness that might be shown by his ex-girlfriend.

"Thank you very much for the offer. Another time. Then I'll take my leave first."

Ariana smiled broadly. Of course he was happy to hear that Agatha flatly refused the offer to eat together.

Taking advantage of the available time, Ariana immediately invited Samuel and Randa to immediately go to the cafe next to the Palma building. They decided to have lunch together today.

Today's Cafe is very busy. Almost all of them were filled with Palma employees eating their lunch. Luckily, Ariana had already made a reservation. That's why he, Samuel, and also Randa got a seat to enjoy lunch.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Randa asked Ariana when she sat down. From earlier, his cousin's wife was indeed staring at him.

"You don't want to apologize to me?"

"Apologize for what?" Randa asked innocently. But, basically he did not understand what Ariana meant at this time. "Did I do you wrong?"

Ariana nodded.

"A lot! Your sins even a lot with me."

"Which sin again, Ariana?" Randa sighed while looking at the beautiful woman.

"So many sins, have you forgotten what you've done with me? Because you lied, Samuel and I almost had a world war!"

"Which other lie? I don't feel like I'm lying to you," Randa evaded. He continued to deny the accusations that Ariana had made.

"The other day, when I called and asked if you were going out with Samuel, you were lying, weren't you?"

"Which one, anyway?"

"That's it, which day do you invite to meet at the cafe to discuss projects in Surabaya," explained Samuel later. Help remind Randa not to act innocent or pretend to forget after this.

"Ohh, I remember," Randa replied after nodding her head. "When you called that night, my position was that I had just come home from work and had just arrived home. In fact, I hadn't even brought Samuel to the cafe yet. So my answer was correct at that time."

Ariana chuckled again. It's hard to talk to Randa, who likes to dodge like a snake like this.

"It's up to you what reason you want. Anyway, you've lied to me."

Randy even laughed. It's funny to see Ariana's annoyed expression.

"Oh my, that really pisses me off. Yes, I'm sorry. I did that on purpose."

"Tuh, kaaan! What a bummer. Just watch out for my revenge."

“Sorry, sorry,” said Randa. "I'm the one who treats this afternoon."

The three of them then continued to eat lunch while continuing to chat. In the middle of the activity, Darwin suddenly appeared who also stopped by after being contacted earlier by Randa.

So the four of them spent lunch together. However, because there was something Samuel wanted to do, she asked Ariana to leave first. Leaving Randa and Darwin who were still involved in the conversation.

Maybe 30 minutes after Samuel left, Randa and Darwin just decided to leave the cafe. Randa then called the cafe maid first to deliver the order bill that she had to pay for.

"In the name of Mr. Randa huh?" asked the waiter to make sure.

"Yeah, right. So how much is the total?"

"All in all, three million seven hundred and fifty thousand," said the waiter politely while handing over the order receipt that Randa had to pay for.

"What? How much? Three million seven hundred? I heard right?" asked Randa to make sure. He was of course surprised because he had to be billed to pay for orders up to three million. In fact, only four people ate with him.

While the maid just nodded. Looks confused but still trying to explain.

"The total is in accordance with the order, sir. I will help you break it down. There are four pax buffets for a total of two hundred and fifty thousand. The remaining three million and five hundred thousand are for orders of 100 boxes of special fried rice."

"What? 100 boxes of fried rice?" wondering Randy. "There are only four of me eating here. Then, what are the 100 boxes of rice boxes for, bro? It's like I want to say thanksgiving. There's no circumcision here anymore."

"But, Mrs. Ariana, who made the reservation earlier, did order 104 pax of food. Four of them were eaten on the spot. The remaining 100 boxes were to be given to the orphanage. And Mrs. Ariana also said that Mr. Randa would pay all the bills."

Laughter immediately fell from Darwin's lips. While Randa immediately growled stifled. He was sure, Ariana must be very satisfied because it has managed to repay him.

***

In the car going somewhere, Samuel laughed loudly. He laughed to himself after listening to the story of his wife who was very intent on giving revenge to Randa.

Samuel didn't forbid it one bit. He thought that his cousin really needed to be taught a lesson so he could give up on himself.

"I can't imagine Randa's face, how annoyed she is to have to treat her and whether she wants to pay for the order that I ordered," said Ariana while continuing to laugh.

"You really are, aren't you?"

"Let it go! It's your own fault for being nosy. Besides, that's nothing compared to what he's done with me many times. He'll get a reward too. You'll feed him to the orphanage too," Ariana replied without feeling the slightest bit of regret. Then afterwards he diverted the topic by asking Samuel something. "By the way, where do you want to take me? Haven't the feeling gotten to me yet?"

Samuel glanced at her, smiling the man replied to his wife's curiosity.

"Want to give you a surprise," he said while continuing to focus on the road ahead.

"Surprise? You already know. You want to give a house, right?"

Samuel nodded. "Yes, that's one of them. But I have another surprise to give you."

Ariana stared for a moment. I don't know what else his husband will give him this time. It seemed as if all the surprises had been prepared for him.

After following wherever Samuel took them, the car they were driving finally stopped at a large house with a large yard. It looks so beautiful, shady, even from the outside it looks very comfortable.

"Come down. We've arrived," Samuel said after the man turned off the car engine.

Ariana didn't ask much. He complied when Samuel asked him to get out of the car. Hand in hand, the two of them walked slowly along the yard, until they finally arrived at the terrace of the house they were aiming for.

"Actually, whose house is this?" asked Ariana in the end. She was just curious as to why her husband brought her here.

However, Ariana's questions grew. As soon as the door to the building opened, the children from the orphanage came out and immediately approached him. In fact, Clara's mother and other caretakers of the orphanage were also there.

"What's this all about?" asked Ariana getting more confused.

Samuel smiled broadly. Not wanting to add to the question in his wife's mind, the man slowly gave an explanation.

"You want to have a birthday in the near future. You even want it to be celebrated with the orphans. From a few months ago, I really thought about what gift I wanted to give. I thought, since our child is going to be added, it would be better to give you a bigger house. "

"You mean this house is for me too?" Ariana asked impatiently.

Samuel shook her head. The man laughed instead.

"No, Ariana. It's your house that I bought yesterday with the property agent. Now, this is the house I deliberately bought for the orphanage. So, from now on, they will all move to a bigger, more spacious house. , and of course it's more comfortable. I'm also going to add a nanny to help mother Clara."

Ariana was at a loss for words. So touched by what Samuel has done. How had she ever thought that her husband would prepare gifts and even think about the orphans to this extent.

Perhaps, this is the reason Samuel's life is so smooth and abundant with fortune. The man never tires of doing good. Never stingy and calculating to help people in need. Truly, a good role model to emulate or emulate others.

"Why are you even crying?" reprimanded Samuel when she saw Ariana's eyes filled with tears. Even after that, her wife stepped forward and without hesitation immediately hugged her while crying.

"You are very kind. Thanks for everything. Kalvin must be proud to have a daddy like you."

After breaking the hug, Ariana immediately approached Clara's mother and the other orphanage children. Going around is like doing a home tour to see all the facilities that Samuel has equipped in the orphanage building this time.

"Ariana, Samuel, mother is very grateful for the kindness of both of you. Maybe only God can repay what you have given to the orphans who are here."

Mother Clara to tears. Haru is at the same time happy with what Samuel has just given to her foster children.

"No need for thanks, mother," Samuel replied. "This is already the provision for all of the younger siblings that God has entrusted with Samuel. Hopefully, after moving here, everyone will be more comfortable and can sleep more soundly. Next time, if there are any problems or something lacking, never hesitate to report Ariana or Samuel. We can help as much as we can."

Satisfied with walking around, talking, and even hearing stories from the orphanage, Ariana and Samuel decided to go home. After all, it was already getting late. The two of them also had to pick up Kalvin first at Arabella's house.

Just about to enter the car, Ariana's steps stopped. Staring at her feet, the woman then turned to Samuel with a slightly serious expression.

"Honey, I think I'm about to give birth."

"Huh? No kidding, Ariana."

"Yeah, looks like my water leaked."

Samuel immediately led Ariana to get into the car. Hastily sped his car. Take Ariana immediately to the hospital.

Luckily when carrying Ariana, there was not the slightest traffic jam on the road. Arriving at the hospital and being examined by a doctor, it turns out that what was suspected was true. Ariana experienced premature rupture of the membranes and had to undergo immediate labor.

The doctor also prepared everything. Like the first birth, Samuel also seemed loyal to accompany his wife. Continue to provide the support needed. Until finally the twins they had been waiting for for nine months were born safely and without any significant obstacles.
