Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 697

"What did you say? Anya threw the wine on purpose? Who spilled the wine first? And you said Anya is disgusting? How about those of you who can only talk ill of people behind their back? You guys are even more disgusting," Indah snorted coldly and turned away, ignoring the loathsome gossipers.
When Anya came out of the room, she accidentally saw her mother clashing with the gossipers. The sight made her heart feel warm.
She really didn't care what people said about her.
The important thing was that her loved ones could understand her.
Hearing her mother defend her, Anya felt she was stronger than ever.
Jessica started it first. She wanted to humiliate her in her own sons' party.
Was it wrong for her to retaliate? Should she just keep quiet when people want to bully her?
They only dared to talk about her behind her back. But Anya didn't care about them.
She still had her family to defend her, no matter what happened.
"Mother..." Anya approached Indah with a smile and then hugged her.
"Are you alright?" Indah hugged her daughter tightly. "You are not wrong. I won't let go of anyone who bullies my daughter," she said.
"I thought you and dad would blame me because I couldn't help myself," Anya said shyly.
Indah laughed to hear that. "Even if you are naughty, I don't mind it. My child should be like this."
Anya held her mother's hand and they both came to Bima. While walking, Anya whispered to Indah, "Mother, if my father-in-law reprimands me later, please help me."
"What are you afraid of? Your mother and father are here to support you!" Indah stroked her daughter's back gently.
Maria saw Anya approaching and immediately greeted her. "Anya, are you okay?"
"Do you think I was wrong, Sis? I made Jessica angry," Anya glanced at Bima with a little fear.

Bima cleared his throat softly and said, "You didn't look worried when you spilled that wine. Why are you glancing at me now?"
"Dad, when everyone surrounded me in the park earlier, Jessica just looked from afar and didn't help. After that, when she asked the women to apologize to me, she actually got my dress dirty on purpose. She deliberately embarrassed me. Should I just keep quiet when they treated me like that? Even though they are all guests, I am the host of this event. How can I let the Atmajaya Family be humiliated? If you think that I am guilty, I can apologize," Anya bowed her head like a child who had just done mischief.
"Apologize? To whom? I will not let the Atmajaya Family's daughter-in-law be bullied just like that. It's good that you spilled the wine. It means you are trying to maintain the good name of this family. Anyone who dares to go against the Atmajaya Family will never be invited to the event again. We don't need them to work with us!" Bima looked at his second son and said, "Ivan, I leave this responsibility to you."
"Fine, father. I'll take care of it," said Ivan.
Anya looked at her mother with a smile on her face. Indah blinked her eyes and held her daughter's hand tighter.
With her there, nothing could hurt her daughter. She and Galih would protect their daughter with their lives, even from an influential family like the Atmajaya Family.
They would even sacrifice themselves for Anya, to make up for the 20 years they passed without her.
Fortunately, the Atmajaya family also loved Anya, just as Indah and Galih loved their son.
"Thank you dad! Next time I will be more careful," Anya replied obediently.
"Anya, it's time for you to have a wedding with Aiden. Even though you two have got your marriage book, everyone still won't think of you as his wife because you didn't have a wedding party. Just look, those people are deliberately bullying you today," Bima looked at Galih with a meaningful gaze.

Galih immediately caught the signal and said to his daughter, "Anya, I've discussed it with your father-in-law and I want you to return to the Pratama Family. Would you like to change your last name?"
"Anya, your father is right. Diana raised you. But your real surname is Pratama. Why do you have to keep the name Tedjasukmana?" Maria asked.
"What do you think? Do you want to change your name? You can use the name Anya Hutama or Anya Pratama. You can choose," Indah smiled and let her daughter choose.
Anya bit her lower lip and was in deep thought. "If I change my name to Anya Hutama, my father and mother will be sad. But if I change my name to Anya Pratama, my mother will be disappointed. How can I pick between the two?"
"It's fine if you don't want to change it. No matter what your name is, you are still your mother's daughter," said Indah.
After handing Yura over to the police, Aiden went straight to his wife, trying to help her when she was depressed. "Don't force Anya to change her name. I have discussed it with her and agreed to allow either Arka or Aksa to have Pratama as his surname."
Bima's face looked a little disappointed. He didn't want any of his grandchildren to have any other surname than Atmajaya. They should've had the same last name as their father, and so he wanted his grandchildren to live with his family's surname.
"Father, Anya is still young. She can get pregnant and have another child. The Pratama family only has Anya now, and she doesn't even have their last name. Don't be too stingy," Maria said casually so that Bima wouldn't be too angry.
"Galih, I didn't stop you from seeing your grandchildren. But why do you want to snatch them from me now?" Bima said reluctantly.
"I won't insist on it. Let Aiden and Anya decide," Galih was very happy to hear Aiden's decision. But even if Bima opposed, he would not insist.
For him, nothing was more important than Anya's happiness.
Bima looked at Aiden and Anya, then felt that Maria's words had some truth.
Anya was still young. She could have more children later.
"Good. I will follow your decision. Galih, come to the house tomorrow. We can play chess together," said Bima.
Galih immediately welcomed his invitation with great pleasure. Having Anya was already a joy for him. He was not offended that Anya did not want to use Pratama as her surname. He did it out of respect for Diana as she was the one who raised Anya all this time.
And now, one of his grandchildren would have his family name. How could Galih be unhappy?
Even though some unpleasant accidents happened, the Atmajaya Family were still happy to celebrate the birth of Anya and Aiden's twin sons.
After the commotion passed, the guests started to enjoy the party atmosphere.
Today, Raka also came and brought Della as his lover. Tara felt confused when she saw Irena holding Della's hand affectionately and introducing her to everyone as Raka's lover.
She approached Anya and asked in a low voice, "Anya, how come Raka's mother likes Della, but not you?"

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.
