Trying Strong

Hana woke up a little later, around 8:30 am because she couldn't sleep well all night. Daniel felt thirsty in the middle of the night, which was the main reason Hana woke up at noon. Her husband had already left for training for the next Olympics. Meanwhile, at home it was just her and her mother-in-law.

"It's good, having a new daughter-in-law but waking up at noon. Not doing anything suddenly eats," he quipped. Hana knew that it was an insinuation for her.

"Sorry, Mom. I don't know the rules of this house at all. If I'm wrong, please teach me how to be a good daughter-in-law."

"It's easy. Leave Franz and free him from the bonds of marriage with you," the middle-aged woman in front of Hana quipped with a look of displeasure on her face.

DEG!

'Why is my mother-in-law like this? Is it wrong for me to marry Franz?" Hana thought.

"But why, Mother? I'm already grateful that Franz wants to marry me, especially now that we have a baby who needs full parents," Hana replied.

"Honestly, I don't like having a son-in-law like you. I just want Franz to marry Karina who is still a girl. Not you who is already someone else's ex! You're so disgusting just so you know! You're such a cheap woman, how could you snatch another girl's lover." The statement Hana heard was so hurtful to her. Even her intention to eat was undone. But if she didn't eat, how would she feed her baby? She thought about that too.

TUK!

"I don't want to be at the same table with you!" After saying that, her mother-in-law immediately left her alone at the dinner table. Slowly Hana's tears came out.

"Huh... I thought my life would be happier in my second marriage, but I was wrong. My mother-in-law doesn't seem to want to accept me in this house. Did I ask Franz to live in a separate house from my mother-in-law?" She asked herself. At the same time her cell phone rang.

TING!

Hana immediately opened the contents of the message sent from the sender on her cell phone.

'You shouldn't be happy about being married to Franz. For all time, Franz is mine! And you have taken him away from me. I will never let you live a happy life on top of my misery, know that, Hana!'

That was the content of the message that made Hana's tears flow even more.

Meanwhile, outside Franz's house, Mrs. Kelly has been picked up by Karina using a heart-red ferari. Karina opened the windshield and lowered her sunglasses.

"Come on, Auntie. We'll go shopping until you're satisfied,"

"You are indeed a reliable future daughter-in-law, Karina." Mrs. Kelly immediately entered the car.

The mall called Star Seven was crowded with young people and people dating. Now Mrs. Kelly and Karina were at one of the mall's steak restaurants. Eating while chatting about their respective circumstances.

"Being at home really makes me bored. It's a good thing you brought me here, Karina. I'm so glad I was helped by your kind heart," Mrs. Kelly complimented Karina and the girl smiled happily.

"But all that would have been lacking if I hadn't become Franz's lawful wife, Mrs. Kelly," Karina quipped. Mrs. Kelly stopped chewing and grabbed the water on her right.

"Take it easy, Karina. I'll do anything to make you my daughter-in-law. I'm also sick of seeing that bitch's face in my house," the middle-aged woman's irritated expression showed.

"I want Franz to be mine again no matter what. Does Mrs. Kelly have a plan?"

"You and Franz haven't broken up yet, you can take advantage of that. Make Franz fall in love with you again," Mrs. Kelly's suggestion made Karina come up with a brilliant idea.

"What if he rejects me? The only thing on his mind right now is that bitch, so annoying!"

"Relax, Karina. You have to try first, if it works this time then I'll help you with something else. If this time fails, I'll come up with a new plan, a surprise for the two of you without the bitch and her baby," Mrs. Kelly explained. A sly smile from Karina appeared along with a nod of her head.

"What a great idea, Mrs. Kelly. It was not in vain that I learned from you."

Franz returned home with a sore body. Just getting out of the car, when he wanted to enter the house, he was intercepted by a girl who was already clinging to his right shoulder.

"Franz you're home, hm? Didn't miss me?" Franz was surprised because the voice was not his wife's, but another girl he knew as well.

"Karina!" Franz immediately dismissed Karina's hand and moved away from her.

"Are you rejecting my touch, Franz?"

"Karina, remember, I have a wife now. You shouldn't behave like this."

"Then what should I do? Let my lover be taken by another woman and live happily? Yes?"

"Karina..."

"Franz! We're still in a relationship, Franz. I haven't broken up with you yet," Karina reminded Franz.

"But I have, Karina. I didn't block your contact number on my cell phone because I still consider us friends," Karina laughed even though her heart ached.

"Just friends? After all we've done so far you only consider me a friend?"

"Yes, we're just friends now. So don't exaggerate, I'm now a father and a husband," Franz replied in a deep, firm voice.

"That way you can brag about yourself? No, Franz. Please, even though you're married, can't we have a discreet relationship?" Karina's offer instantly made Franz's heart waver and pause.

In a large house owned by Ronald, Jennifer is now watching television while waiting for her husband to come home. She had heard on television that Franz Miaco had revealed the origins of his marriage to Hana. At the same time, her doorbell rang.

TING TONG!

Squeak!

"Ronald, what a coincidence that you're here, dear."

"What the hell? What's wrong?"

"Look, it turns out Franz married Hana because she's pregnant with his child!" Jennifer shrieked. Ronald's eyes rounded in disbelief.

"What? How is that possible? Can't Hana get pregnant?" Jennifer thought that way too.

"Yes, too, why is that?" Jennifer furrowed her brow.

"This must be Franz's alibi. There's no way she's pregnant with his child. If she were pregnant, it would be mine! Because he's always had her with me!"

"What? How dare she want to take care of the baby herself," Jennifer retorted.

"If it really is my child, I won't stay silent. I'm going to take it away from Hana!" Ronald said.

"Yes, I'll help you too, Ronald. It just so happens that we don't have any children yet, right? We can take this opportunity." Ronald nodded, agreeing with his wife.
