Conquering your Love

EP 7

"You too. What happened to you, sweet girl? Why do you look like you never eat? Is life in the capital really so hard that you're only living bones?" Chris Goda.

"Oh you, all men are the same. I am on a regular diet and exercise. I was 25 years old but no man was willing to be my girlfriend." lana complained.

"Ha...Ha...Ha... You're also funny. Who allowed you to date before you were 40?" chris said as he rubbed Lana's hair. "Has Hans been harassing or rude to you in the car? If you do, you take it easy, I'll give it back to you!" added Chris with a nosy smile.

"He always bullied me. If Hans had a list of people he didn't like, I'd be in first place!" lana said in a heavy tone while Chris slid down the stairs. "And you, Chris, you'll be second too" Lana said with a laugh.

"At the very least, with Chris here, it'll make me feel more comfortable." - Lana.

" I think we're a series on this. You're the first woman and I'm going to be the first man Hans doesn't like on his list!" sahut Chris's. Chris watched Sasha slowly and calmly. "New clothes? I love your skirt."

Sasha smirked happily towards Chris. "I made it myself!" he said proudly.

"You are so talented! When are you going to have an exhibition of all these beautiful designs you've made?"

"That's what I'm working on. Hans's girlfriend, Joy, will try to get the company she works for to release all my collections in all her stores around the world and I'll show you my designs."

"Joi." Chris scrunched his nose. "By the way a poisoned girl is, she's the deadliest. And Hans is still dating her!"

"Don't say that. Right now, I really need his help." Sasha said in a sad tone.

"Joy made Hans like a church rat. The woman was a social climber who was very contrite eyes. Keep those words! It wasn't Hans' body or heart that the venomous woman was chasing" Chris said in a flat tone.

"sister Hans likes it too. Otherwise, why would Brother Hans still date her to this day?" sergeant Sasha.

"Hans also likes raw garlic and Chicken liver" Chris said while putting on a horrible facial expression.

Lana laughed out loud hearing the side scene between her two best friends.

The crisp sound of laughter emanating from Lana, made Chris turn his face to the girl. "Why has Hans never seen you at all, sweet girl? You will be perfect for her" said Chris who did not stop looking at Lana with a meaningful look.

"Don't be silly! I'm not her type at all!" lana said with a forced smile.

"You're not a sweet girl. You like helping people with problems, you like dogs, cats, and children, but you don't like nightlife or promiscuity at all. You're so complete for her."

"Hans loves opera and theater." said Lana.

" And you don't like it?" ask Chris.

Sasha grabbed Chris by the arm and dragged him to a clean kitchen where he used to eat and drink less formally. The kitchen is green and white which is perfect for spending time on the plantation. "Let's go get some coffee and eat some cake. And you haven't told me about your life that's always been fun lately" Sasha said.

Lana follows them from behind already feeling uneasy about the atmosphere that weekend. He felt that the weekend would never be the best and fun weekend for him.

Not long after, Lana steps away from Sasha and Chris, who are still joking in the kitchen, and goes to the open barn behind the barn to see the calves that have just been born.

One of the plantation officials who had worked there for a long time as a cage manager, came to Lana when she saw the girl coming. The old man always wore a work suit and boots that looked worn and worn. The man had also been seen toothless from the last time Lana saw him, but the old man who was often called Pak Arya by Lana, always had a smile on his old face.

"Hello Mr arya, how are you, sir? It's healthy, right?" lana said sincerely because Pak Arya is a man who has a heart of gold and Lana loves him very much like her own biological father. Lana stood on the crossbar near the wooden fence, wearing old jeans, boots, and a long-sleeved blue checkered shirt. The girl's hair had also been ponytailed after she had changed her clothes earlier so that Lana looked like a twelve-year-old teenage girl.

Mr. Arya smirked back. "Eh, Lana's son. Came here to see my babies?"

"Aren't they pretty and adorable?" said Mr. Arya lazily, then joined Lana on the fence where this woman observed the tiny calves with white faces and brown, black, white feathers.

"Yes indeed. I miss all this so much. Livestock, large plantations, cool and clean air. All this I couldn't get when I was working in the capital." agreed Lana with Mr. Arya.

Mr. Arya frowned and said, "Poor boy. You lost everything all at once years ago."

Thas right. Lana lost both her parents and her home. If only Hans had not helped him and enrolled him in business school and also financed him to live in modest boarding houses. Maybe he's over homeless.

Lana smiled at Mr. Arya and wisely said, "Time will heal everything, even the most painful circumstances. Also this is not bad, now I can still visit here at any time. I also got a regular job that could finance myself even if not much. I'm grateful for all this, sir." said Lana in a sad tone.

Mr. Arya looks upset "I hope you're the one who comes here often and not the metropolitan woman" he said in a whisper. "It's not dirty, it's not dustproof and it looks down on us as if we're going to make it dirty just by talking to us."

Lana stretched out her hand to lightly pat the back of this old man. "Everybody has their own choice, sir. If I were, I would be so happy even if I only had a small house here."

"That bill. But why don't you just move back here, son. I hear there are a lot of vacancies available around here. I heard Eric Woods is in need of a secretary to work on his estate. A young man dedicated to raising his tea plantation. He is also still single you know." said Mr. Arya a little excited.

"I'm not going to work for Eric Woods." Lana giggles and convinces Mr. Arya. "According to a rumor, his last secretary poured the contents of the garbage can over his head, while the contents of the garbage can contained half-empty plastic coffee cups and coffee grounds,"

"Hmm, you also heard, it is difficult to work with Eric even though he is a good man" said Mr. Arya while chuckling."

"There's nothing to do, Mr Arya?" there was a deep, slightly faint sound coming from behind them.

"Newly going to clean the stables, boss. I just stopped by for a minute to say hello to Nak Lana." explained Mr. Arya.

"It's nice to see you again, sir" said Lana kindly.

"Sama-sama" said Mr. Arya as he passed to another cage located on the plantation.

"Don't bother the employees who work here!" Hans said cynically.

Lana's coming down from the fence. With her flat boots on, the girl had to look up to look Hans in the eye. "I was just saying hello and being polite. Mr. Arya is my father's friend."

Lana turned around and immediately walked towards the house without paying any more attention to Hans' whereabouts.

"Tried to escape?"

Lana stopped and faced Hans. "I will not stay here and become a victim of your sincerity, young master. I'm not a scapegoat."

Hans's eyebrows sticking out. " You're not a goat."

"You understand my point. You're so angry that Chris is here while Joy, your beautiful girlfriend hasn't come to cheer you up. So you're looking for an impingement and I'm the most suitable person to be your impingement!"

Hans moved uneasily upon hearing the accusation. His frowning face suddenly turned darker.

"Don't do this!"

Lana understood Hans's intention. He could always see the cause of the bad emotional change in Hans, something the younger brother could never do.
