Denisa Rosaline

The Tiocandra Men

Previously, the author wanted to say thank you first to all loyal readers Rosaline Denisa. Thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you for your support, comments, votes, gifts and prayers.

This is the first published work of the author. Previously the author only dared to write for his own reading, it was also new short stories and poetry. And the author realized, surely this work is a lot of lack here and there. But the author promises to continue to learn, learn and learn again in order to be able to provide good reading, useful, and entertaining of course while the update is not necessarily, hehehe. Not meant not to be serious, it's just that the role in the real world sometimes forces the author to focus until all day, so ideas and imagination can not be poured into a series of words.

Thank you to all of you who have supported and continue to support the author with his vote, thumbs up, and thumbs up, the prize and other comments (not maksa anyway but ngarep🤭) are guaranteed to make the author happy and more excited️.

Batam, Riau Islands

"How can you?!" Rio snapped at someone across there. Even his handbook turned white from grasping the flat object was too strong. The man faced a large glass wall that showed an afternoon view of Batam city with his right hand holding HP and left hand inserted into his pants pocket. His jaw hardened with anger. The man who was getting dashing with his expensive suit just got a report from his man who was in charge of overseeing his youngest sister, Rosaline.

A news that could make him angry.

A news that felt impossible would be done by his sister. Then now? The truth is sometimes unexpected.

Where is his sister's mind? It was like Rio immediately flew there and dragged his sister home with or without anyone's consent. It doesn't matter if his sister will be hostile to him.

But what power, this time he had to think clearly. It won't be easy to drag that girl home. He's too smart to be underestimated. Papi Derry and Bang Cris are on a business trip to Europe. As the message of the two men who respected him, he had to stay in Batam until the two returned from their business trip, whatever the reason, because the company must remain under the control of a Tiocandra. Too many families hang their lives in this company. Not only in Batam, but also in some regions and some countries as well. Therefore, he was forced to eliminate this option.

Their company is not a company yesterday afternoon whose condition is not stable and easily faltered. Their company was established decades ago. However, they realized, the higher the tree, the stronger the wind that hit it. Can't let your guard down a bit. Even now Mami Nisa chose to return to the workforce to help ensure the company is okay as long as the two of her favorite men left. Also as an excuse to divert the burden of his mind from the departure of his only daughter almost two years ago.

Find out what they're doing there! And keep an eye on them! Report every detail to me, if necessary, every hour! And make sure they don't sleep in the room! I DON'T WANT TO KNOW!" he said the final and then cut off the phone.

The man turned around, walking towards his desk. Sitting in his big chair while twitching the base of his nose which suddenly felt throbbing. Then he grabbed the flat object back and dialed Cris' number. If Cris were still pursuing his medical profession, it would be his brother who would act. But unfortunately, for the sake of the happiness of his sister, Cris was willing to leave his medical profession and accept his responsibilities as crown prince of the business empire Tiocandra.

Flash back to:

Almost d**ua years ago...

"Find it soon and bring my daughter back here!" the full command of a Derry Tiocandra to his men.

Mami Nisa, Cris and Rio heard some of the conversation on the phone because Derry's office door was open. The three of them were about to negotiate with Derry, but stopped to hear the continuation of the conversation. I don't know what's on the middle-aged man's mind. He who had cast out his only daughter, then he also told the people to search and find the princess.

"Why can Papi do all that? Why impose Papi's will on Rosa?" Rio who had been furious since earlier with his papi immediately broke through the door of Derry's workroom to make the owner surprised, but he could again control himself.

"It's been enough that he's followed all Papi's wishes since he was a child. Now that he is an adult, let him choose the life he will live alone, Pi," asked Cris to the father, inexplicably the papa insisted on forcing the match. Grandfather certainly did not want to see his granddaughter suffer because of a will entitled matchmaking, right? But because of the disappointment wrapped in anger, his eldest son's plea sounded like criticism that seemed to blame him who was not good at being a parent. Derry's getting pissed.

"You! Never teach me how to educate my children! You grew up with all these advantages all thanks to your grandfather's hard work! It is only natural that you serve me as well as your grandfather!" Derry even pointed at Cris showing his anger without being covered up.

Yes, their papi is a very hard man. For the sake of his devotion to his late father, Derry forced his father's will to keep going. When Cris and Rio learn of Rosaline's expulsion, they oppose Derry. Cold war is inevitable between the father and his two sons. This feud made the health condition of Nisa's mother become bad. Not to mention the thought of how the life of his favorite daughter who does not know where the jungle is now making the woman more often in and out of the hospital. Finally, for the sake of the health of the woman they love, they choose to make peace.

Both Cris and Rio always routinely visit the residence of the papi and his mama. This time they agreed to re-negotiate with the papi. Initially, Rio offered to replace the matchmaking, Rio filed for an arranged marriage with the younger brother of Nico who was quite far away. But Derry still insisted on wanting to match Rosaline and Nico, until finally Cris also gave another offer, which is to go into the business world as the demand of the papi so far.

But Derry is still Derry. He didn't waste this opportunity. The brain is still running. Although this is his family, but taking advantage at this very rare time is not a sin. Finally he chose to give up as long as he got each offer from his two sons.

At first, his two proud sons disagreed. Same with mom Nisa. For her, the happiness of her children is on the path they want from the heart, not the path they take through these negotiations. There was a cold war between the father and his children. In fact, Derry is increasing the number of people to search for the whereabouts of his daughter, and threaten his two sons if Rosaline is obtained, then he will be married to Nico, according to the original plan. Rio and Cris who had already investigated Nico naturally disagreed. Nico Wirawan is a jerk! That is the conclusion of their investigation. And of course they don't agree if their dear sister should marry that jerk.

But due to the cold war, Nisa's mother's health again declined. Until in the end, Cris and Rio again succumbed to their papi and followed all Derry's wishes. All that they did was so that the papa would forget Rosa and Nico's arranged marriage plan.

And this is how they are now. Rio is engaged to Nico's sister. Cris, meanwhile, is forced to subordinate his doctor's profession and live his new life as a businessman.

Flashback.

"Alright, Bang. I'll have them watch him and report it."

.....

"Yes, Bang. My brother also takes care of his health there. I turned the phone off. Assalamu'alaikum."

Rio ended the call.

It felt like Rio flew straight away and dragged his youngest sister home, but Cris forbade her. If only Cris did not forbid him to leave the city of Batam whatever happened. If only...
