The Innocent Man

Agler and Pooja took a stroll together enjoying the cool afternoon weather. They are seen holding hands. "I already have a car, why are you still asking me to walk like this?" Agler asked his wife.

“Walking is healthier, this also includes exercise, besides, I think it's boring in the car. Here we can breathe fresh air.”

Agler nodded his head, he agreed with his wife's statement. “Pooja, actually I still feel like all of this is like a dream. I still can't believe that now I am the grandson of Mr Davidson who is rich. You know, I still don't understand how to be rich."

Pooja laughed at Agler's words. “Agler, you just need to be yourself. Our lives have changed now, where we live changed, our clothes changed, but you and I have not changed. We're still the same people, right? So, just be yourself, it will make you happy."

"Wow, you are a very wise woman indeed."

“Of course, have you forgotten that I am a teacher? The teacher is a wise person.”

"I see."

They continued walking again, until suddenly, a man approached them. "Hello, may I interrupt you for a moment, sir?"

"Sure," Agler replied.

“Oh, that's very kind of you. Let me introduce myself, I am Jack and I am a tattoo artist. I want to offer you a tattoo, here are some tattoo designs I've done. And I have good news, that today my tattoo studio has a huge discount, it's up to forty percent. Would you like to try it, sir?"

Agler looked at the flyer Jack had given him. "Hmm, its looks interesting." Agler turned to Pooja. "What do you think about it, honey?"

“Ah, I think you should forget about getting tattoos. You always refuse when given an injection when you're sick, you won't be able to do it. Getting a tattoo will definitely hurt more,” said Pooja.

“Hey, what do you mean by talking like that? Are you underestimating me? Pooja, I am a strong man. All right, today I will prove it to you. I'm going to get a tattoo with your name written on it, right here on my chest!” Agler was feeling challenged.

"Don't be so bold! You will only scream later. And that would make me even more embarrassed!”

"It will not happen." Agler still insisted on getting a tattoo on his body. "Jack, do you want to get a tattoo on my chest?"

"Of course sir! Please Come into my studio." Jack brought Agler to his studio.

Pooja seemed to sigh and she said, "The Men are always stubborn." But in the end, Pooja still accompanied her husband.

“Aaaaaa…! Oh My God! God! Please help me! I don't want to die now!”

As Pooja suspected, Agler screamed as Jack started drawing tattoos on his body.

“Pooja! Aaaa! Its so painful, Pooja!” Agler took Pooja's hand. The people in the tattoo studio laughed at Agler.

While Pooja just sighed and said, “Didn't I say, you can't do this! You are stubborn!”

“Are you calling me a weak man? No, I am a strong man!”

"A strong man won't scream if he's hit by a syringe!" replied Pooja. "Ah, how can you fight bad people if you just get a syringe and you're scared."

Hearing Pooja's words, Agler fell silent. He didn't want to look weak, so he was forced to endure the pain until his sweat dripped. About an hour later, the process of making the tattoo was completed. Now on Agler's chest, there is already a tattoo that says his wife's name: Pooja.

"Wow, you look cool with that tattoo!" Pooja was seen smiling while Agler was still grimacing in pain.

Agler buttoned his shirt again and said, "I did this all for you, to prove my love for you, Pooja."

“Yes, I know. And I love you too," replied Pooja. But suddenly Pooja's eyes shifted to someone behind the window who was taking their picture.

“What happened, Pooja? What are you looking at?”

"Hmm, I think I saw Anthony outside?"

“Anthony? What is he doing here?"

Agler and Pooja came out of the tattoo studio. They saw Anthony taking street photos. “Anthony, what are you doing here? Have you switched professions from a lawyer to a photographer?” Agler asked.

Anthony turned to Agler and Pooja, then he revised, “Don't you think a lawyer can take pictures? I'm investigating a case, so right now I'm gathering evidence. Ah, you won't understand even if I explain. What are you doing here?"

"I just got a tattoo. Its so wonderful. Let me show you!” Agler said.

But Pooja immediately held Agler's hand. “Are you serious want to take off your clothes here? Please don't be ridiculous, Agler!” pooja reminds her husband that.

“Oh, I'm sorry, Anthony. I can't show you my tattoo, because it's for my lovely wife,” Agler said to Anthony.

Anthony smiled sarcastically then he said, "I'm also not interested in seeing your tattoo."

“I see. But you would definitely be interested if I asked you to dinner, right?”

Anthony raised his eyebrows. "Are you serious about asking me out for dinner?"

"Of course. You can take your wife too. I will treat you and your wife to dinner at a fancy restaurant.”

“Are you bragging about your wealth to me?”

"No, Anthony. I just want to give you a present. After all, you've always treated me. So, I just want to do the same thing. Aren't we family? So, get ready for tonight. I'll let you know where it is later. See you!” Then Agler and Pooja left Anthony there.

Anthony watched them get into the luxury car. "Enjoy your happiness now, Agler, for it will soon be over." Anthony muttered to himself, then he sent a photo to Lucas.

Agler, Pooja, Anthony and Ellena, the four of them had dinner at a fancy restaurant. “Oh, I feel so happy to have a very rich brother-in-law now. Thanks for inviting us to eat here, Agler!” Ellen said.

“With my pleasure. You can order more food if you want.”

"Are you sure?"

“Yes, I'm sure. Don't hesitate to do that.”

“Oh, thank you very much, Agler!” Then Ellena immediately ordered a new menu again.

While Anthony began to divert the conversation. "How was your day since becoming Mr Davidson's grandson?" he said.

“Hmm, this all still feels like a dream to me. But all of this feels very interesting.”

“You've become a big man now. Be careful because there must be a lot of people who want to bring you down.”

“Oh, I'm so touched because you care about me. Yes, my wife and I will be careful. If I ever run into any trouble, I'll ask for your help, Anthony.”

"Yes, you do need a good lawyer like me."

An hour later, they had finished their dinner. Before leaving the restaurant, Ellena approached Agler and said, "Agler, can I tell you something?"

"Of course, what do you want to say."

“Hmm, actually I'm in need of money right now. I plan to take part in the in-vitro fertilization program to have a baby. You know, it requires a very large cost. So, do you want to lend me some money?” Ellena said to Agler.

“Sure. I will give it to you. I'm also happy if you can have a baby. You can send me the fee amount, then I will transfer it right away.”

“Oh, thank you very much. You're really good, Agler. You are fit to be a rich generous man. I will update you later. See you!” Ellena waved her hand then she entered the car with Anthony.

Pooja glanced sarcastically at her sister and brother in law. Then Pooja turned her head to face Agler, and she said, "Are you sure he will use your money for the IVF program?"

Agler frowned. "What do you mean?"

"I'm not sure they would do that. I know it's not that Ellena can't have children, but she doesn't want to have children yet. They can have children normally. I think, they just want to ask money from you. They want to blackmail you. Don't be too naive, Agler. Next time, if they ask for money, don't give it to them right away.” Pooja explained.

“I thought it would be fine if I gave them money. Isn't she your sister? After all, we have lived with them all this time. I just wanted to repay your family, Pooja."

“Ah, you are too innocent. I'm getting worried, how can you become a leader if you have such an innocent nature?”

Agler smiled. "You worry too much about me. Trust me, I can take care of myself, and I can take care of you too, honey."

“I think I'm tired. Let's go home now."

"Okay, lets go!"
