Exchanging Bride

Aldi Vs Family Kiara

"My father married my mother who was not Indonesian. Though grandfather really hopes to match him with aunt Adelia, the son of a close friend of grandfather." Aldi started his story.

Kiara chose to sleep on Aldi's lap while staring at Aldi's face that began to tell stories.

"Auntie Adelia's parents contributed to the life of her grandfather and company. Unfortunately, their company was destroyed and bankrupt. Grandpa wants to make her a son-in-law in return"

"Tante Adelia who is still a girl is also very good to grandfather. He also understood what our extended family was like and who was hungry for power and wealth. So the target turned to my father's half-sister. About Damien."

"Om Damien is Mike's father?" Kiara cuts Aldi's story and tries to guess

"Yes. Om Damien is married and has Mike. But Aunt Adelia knew that being Damien's second wife was easier than being my father's second wife. So Adelia's aunt's target turned to Damien."

"Short story about Damien being captivated and making Aunt Adelia his second wife. Om Damien is also increasingly loved by grandfather. Om Damien has lifted the burden of grandpa's debt to his best friend by successfully making Aunt Adelia a daughter-in-law."

"But aunt Adelia's ambition doesn't stop there. She did so many unimaginable things that she became Damien's only wife and made my father, mother and me move abroad."

"Dad chose to give up and take care of the company in Singapore. My own mother came from there. So settling down there is a thing that I consider good for all of us."

"Every day our family seemed happy and without problems. Portrait of a family that looks happy from the outside." Aldi smiled bitterly

"But I miss grandpa. Dad used to be grandfather's pride. Staying away from grandfather made him sad to get away from this world sooner." Aldi had a sad face this time

"Secaring his departure, I did an investigation with the ability and network that I had. Until I decided to buy WS TECH and develop it as it is now."

"In addition I also collected information about the grandfather's family. About Om Damien and Aunt Adelia. I devised a suitable plan to fulfill my father's wishes."

"Of all the information that has been collected, Aunt Adelia became the beginning of problems between father and grandfather. So I started all my steps from him. My plan is now 80% complete. Just got Aunt Adelia out of the family."

Kiara wanted to interrupt and ask a question. But worry bothers Aldi who is storytelling.

Aldi stopped telling stories and noticed Kiara who was no longer looking at him. Then Aldi hinted Kiara to issue a question that stuck in his heart.

"You're sure after Aunt Adelia's been kicked out of the family with a divorce, then she won't put up a fight or have a backup plan?" Kiara finally asked

"I think so. Her divorce with Om is in the final stages of the trial. Gono-gini's treasure he can't claim for the reason divorce is treason. And all of Aunt Adelia's subordinates in the company I've managed to replace with someone more responsible."

Aldi told it steadily and was convinced that there would be no problems later on.

"Al, you haven't told your grandfather's company what's his name? What's richer than just owning WS TECH?"

"Oh, I didn't tell you, did I?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Do you know my full name?"

Kiara like never heard of it when Ijab qabul or have she read it in her marriage book? Kiara recalls, "Rivaldi..." Kiara paused to recall.

"Wiji Sasongko" Aldi impatiently continued, "Wiji sasongko owns BLUE CORP International."

Kiara closed her mouth for a moment. Didn't expect Aldi came from a family that is famous for being rich all over the country.

"My father was originally the heir. Father is the son of grandfather's legitimate wife. Om Damien was born to a woman who has never been married by a grandfather. Grandpa was more affectionate towards me from the beginning."

"So your dad's been managing the Singapore branch of Blue Corp since you were little?"

"Yes. But Grandpa never called Dad. It was as if we were no longer family. Even until my grandfather died, even though he only gave a will so that I married Bella, the son of both your parents."

"What is our parents' relationship with grandfather?"

"Knowing your mama and Bella lived a hard life, Grandpa felt guilty. And write a special will for my father."

"Grandfather's will was about his wish that I, his granddaughter, would marry Bella, the surviving progeny of Grandfather's savior."

"Is it too complicated for you to understand?" Aldi stopped staring at the sweet girl who was on his lap.

"Yes, I feel that the thought of your family, especially grandfather, still feels strange. Why don't you give me money and a good job? why should there be a marriage bond?" Kiara's forehead is wrinkled. Seemed to think hard.

"I think my father used to think the same way as you. That's why my father refused. Moreover, father already has a mother in his heart."

"If you? How come you never thought about giving money and work to Bella?" Kiara was still curious about this topic.

"I've planned that before your appearance as Bella's sister." Answer Aldi

"So? Why did it continue until our marriage?"

"Of course it's because of you." Aldi was anxious and pinched Kiara's cute nose plan.

"I don't understand, Al. Explain it again."

"Which part doesn't understand it?"

"Why was it after my appearance as Bella's sister when you continued the marriage?"

"Isn't it clear?"

"Not yet."

"Yes because I married you, Kiara. Not the same Bella. If it wasn't you, I'd have broken up with Bella."

Kiara was speechless digesting the word for word that Aldi meant.

"So you agreed to marry me from the beginning because of me? not because of a will or because of Bella's sister?"

"If Bella doesn't exchange with you to be my bride, I won't continue that marriage. All because you're my bride, Kiara."

Kiara just understood.

"Then the will?"

"I thank my grandfather, for that will I can marry you, Ra." Aldi tucked a strand of Kiara's hair behind his ear. Sends strange vibrations to Kiara's heart through the touch of their skin.

"So you've been meeting all my mama's needs all this time?" Kiara just remembered the life of her mother who was free to drink liquor as she pleased.

"You're the one who paid the housekeeper and sent him a big monthly bill?"

Aldi nodded. "I originally gave a monthly allowance. But your mama's life pattern is getting messy."

"I only visited once after marriage. I can't bear to see him tampering with a drink."

"I knew. That's why I stopped the monthly rations. Now I'm paying a therapist for your mama's alcohol rehab. The expenditure of his needs I leave it to his house assistant."

Kiara was sad to think about her mother. Kiara got up to sit next to Aldi while leaning her head against his shoulder.

Aldi embraced Kiara's shoulder and gave a delicate caress to calm her down.

The story is long. But Kiara feels enough for today. His feelings are not good.
