Cassandra Loving

High School Teacher

"Sandra doesn't need the money, Pa. Sandra doesn't need a legacy. Sandra is also not interested in managing the company. Sandra's just a freeman, a singer, an album, a concert, a world tour..."

"You think it's easy! San, this is for your future! Papa doesn't want you to live hard later. So the singer if not famous-very well-known will also be difficult future! You can say gini now. If you're an adult, you'll realize having a lot of money is important!"

The father and son appear to be in conflict. Prambodo looked at his daughter's eyes with pushy eyes. Not a look of anger. But an anxious look mixed with anxiety.

While the stared at the father was grumbling like a small child. The beautiful round-eyed girl actually threw away her face from her father.

Cassandra Siena Prambodo is not a child. But also called adult is not appropriate.

Cassandra's age or often called Sandra is only 19. He's 20 years away. Normally he should have entered the early semester college age. But Sandra is still stuck in High School.

Sandra was in an accident with her late mother and suffered a severe leg injury. Nestapa as a result of losing his mother and losing his ability to walk made him a 2-year school leave.

Sandra who disliked school from the beginning wanted to give up and just quit. After all, his aspirations also want to become a singer, do not need a diploma. I feel like school is wasting time. Better to learn music.

But clearly the idea was rejected outright by Prambodo. The father who secretly hid his cancer was anxious about the future of his only daughter if he caught up with his wife leaving the world.

Higher education, a good career, a smooth running family business are her dreams for Cassandra. He felt he could not die peacefully if his daughter's future was not guaranteed.

So after Sandra's leg injury recovered, Prambodo forced her daughter back to the high school bench she hated.

Cassandra who still wears the high school uniform still looks upset. He folded his hands to his chest while sitting in the front seat of his father's desk in the office.

"San, sorry. Papa didn't mean to scream. But Sandra knew that Papa was the best for Sandra." Prambodo's voice that had been high-pitched suddenly soft.

Yes, the man feeling guilty had also spoken in a rather loud tone. Raising a girl alone is not easy. Moreover, Cassandra from the past was not close to the father because of his busyness in the company he pioneered.

Hearing the father's words that began to soften, Cassandra felt a little guilty as well. His tone was no less high.

"Sandra apologized too. Sandra wants to talk slowly but everything Papa says just makes Sandra emotional. It could be that Papa has an idea like that," said Sandra as she began to look at her papa again.

"That's the best idea Papa can set for you. Try there's still mom. He can explain all of this to you more calmly. And you can accept and understand Papa." Prambodo's eyes are increasingly glazed.

Sandra let out a long breath. Her smooth cheeks looked red. His long hair was a little messy because from earlier he was holding his head and ruffling his own hair because of dizziness and was too shocked by his papa's words.

"If you're still around, she can't talk to Sandra. Mama can't be Sandra's school maksa. Mama will find Sandra a music teacher, support Sandra's ideals. And most importantly, she's not going to ask Sandra to marry someone Sandra doesn't know!"

The eyes of the father and son meet again. Although Sandra said in a soft tone, but the sentence was quite striking and made her father silent for a while.

Prambodo. Yes, he knows that matching Sandra with her business partner's children is quite beyond reason. But he felt he had no choice.

"And this matchmaking is ridiculous, Pa. I'm still in school. Pras is who I don't know. Her name is Prastyo. Like Papa's friend's name. He must be old, he's ugly, he's..."

"He's still young. Yes 27 years. You could say young, right? Pras is his son Om Arik. You meet often but you may not care about him. He's handsome, S2, his son's polite,..."

Both are back in sight. Prambodo with a look trying to convince. Sandra with an annoyed look.

The Prambodo room which only contained the two of them suddenly quieted down.

Sandra covered her face with her hands and took a deep breath for the umpteenth time.

Prambodo. He can only bow.

"No. Papa has no debt. But do you know Om Arik the same Papa join 50:50 part time make this company? Papa just wants to be careful so that if Papa does not exist, this company still so have you half." Prambodo's voice sounded soft.

Sandra's thick eyebrows rose, making her beautiful face not scary but actually adorable. The girl then laughed. He felt his father's speech was the craziest thing he had ever heard.

"Where is Papa going? It's so weird to suddenly talk..."

"Papa's sick."

Sandra mute. But the look in his eyes turned to surprise.

"Final stage brain cancer. If Papa goes abroad often for business, Papa is lying. Papa medicated. But there's no cure, San. Actually Papa has been sick for a long time, from when you have not been in an accident with Mama.

Now my mom is not there. Our immediate family does not exist. If Papa leaves, what are you? Although for business affairs Papa believes the same Om Arik, but in the future Papa does not know.

You don't want to know about the company. If Papa does not exist, if Om Arik changes his mind, if you are deceived, Papa can not help.

If you marry Pras who is the sole heir of this company as well, at least we can make a prenuptial agreement about the property of gono-gini. Papa will feel calmer because your future is guaranteed.

Try to understand Papa, San. Papa's just worried and this is all Papa can do..."

Sandra speaks a thousand languages. His tears suddenly burst without being able to hold.

***

While one floor away from where Sandra was crying...

Pras took off his glasses and stared at the window. The capital's skyscrapers look shiny in the reflection of the sunset this afternoon.

"He's still in High School, Pa. Cook Papa told me to marry him. Sandra was cold as well as her son, unapproachable." Pras suddenly drowned.

The eccentric Arik Gudono laughed softly.

"He's still in high school because of school. Cassandra wants 20 years. I am quite old. It is legal to get married. Yeah, you're how cake finds a way to decetin him.

We also do not want you to get married because of the need to. We give time to approach. Papa arranged for you to become a teacher at his school. Let you guys get close. That's easy. The owner of his school foundation is a friend of one of Papa's alumni as Om Prambodo when he went to college."

Pras almost spouted his drink upon hearing the crazy idea of his papa.

A High School Teacher?

BE TOGETHER...
