FORCED TO MARRY (Love The Heir)
CHAPTER 12~The Arrival of Rafael
A FEW HOURS EARLIER...
In a spacious and luxurious room, a figure of a mature woman was sitting on the lip of the bed. On the left not far from where there is a beautiful nurse standing, while in the king size bed there is a figure of an old man who is lying weakly with a breathing hose covering his nose.
“How is papa doing?” Ask the woman in a soft voice.
The old man did not speak, only blinked his eyes and slightly moved his head in response, as if he was saying he was fine.
the woman sitting beside her bed immediately smiled faintly.
“Papa must recover quickly so that later can see Kevin married.” Said the woman as her smooth hand rubbed the wrinkled hand, then let out a heavy sigh.
“I'm sorry, I can't derail it.” With a sad face.
The corner of the man's eyes shed tears, a sign of response. Soon the woman grabbed the tissue on the nightstand next to the bed, then gently rubbed it into the old man's eyes.
“Papa do not cry, I promise I will continue to try to persuade mas Aji to cancel his plan.so papa do not have to worry yah.” he said in a soft tone.
There was a faint sigh coming out from the old man's lips, then closed his eyes for a moment.
“Ya already papa rest well let it heal quickly, I want to meet the children first.” Pamphitt.
After saying that, he kissed the back of the old man's hand then kissed his forehead for a little while.
The woman is Marissa Larasati, the only son-in-law of the aerospace family. While the old man who was lying down was Fandy Aerospace.
Actually his birth name is Choi Soo Yeon, but since marriage he changed his name to Fandy Aerospace. Dirgantara name itself is the surname of his father, who is native to Indonesia.
Fandy has only one child named after Dirgantara's son, his wife is a native of the Netherlands but there is a crossbreed of Indonesia. and now his wife Kimberly has died when he was 20 years old due to uterine cancer.
Fandy used to have a daughter-in-law, Tamara Zein. A beautiful woman of Korean-American literature, but unfortunately her life is not long. Tamara died after giving birth to Kevin, because she was bleeding heavily. A month after Marissa married Aji, it was also on the basis of compulsion.
at that time little Kevin really needed the figure of a mother, aji and Fandy who were both busy in the office could not keep it 24 hours and Rafael was also busy with his school.
there was already a baby sitter, but still she did not fully believe it. Add to this the rampant kidnap of the suspect mostly disguised as a nanny, so Fandy decides to marry off his only child to his ex-wife's best friend.
Fandy married Marissa with aji not only because of Kevin, but because Marissa already had a child from aji named Dylan Abhimanyu Dirgantara who was then one year old.
Marissa got up from her seat, she walked closer towards sister hana.
“Suster, please take care of papa, if later Aji mas meet papa please supervise and if there is anything odd immediately report to me. I don't want yesterday's events to happen again.” Marissa said in a soft voice.
Sister hana nodded in understanding. “Good, mistress.”
After that Marissa passed out. He walked towards the living room, his smile splashing as he saw Kevin sitting alone on the long sofa watching tv.
Time seemed to pass so quickly, that it did not feel the baby boy who once seemed still red, which he used to hold, often, he talked and walked it now has grown into a handsome adult male and soon to be married.
“Ngapain darling?” Marissa asked after sitting next to him, next to her hand gently rubbed her head.
Kevin glanced at the screen, then looked back at the screen.
“Watch the news.” he answered flatly, as well as the look on his face.
“Have eaten?” Ask again.
“Udah.” replied without turning his head.
Marissa.
“How about your wedding preparations?” tanyanya.
“Already 90%, just spread the invitation aja.” replied Kevin lazily.
When other men are so enthusiastic about welcoming and talking about his happy day, unlike Kevin, he is so lazy to discuss it. If only he married the woman he loved, of course different stories.
Marissa was silent for a moment, she understood the reaction of Kevin that looks ogah-ogahan. Since his return from England two years ago, Kevin's nature has changed completely and he certainly knows what the reason is.
Even so he will not interfere, Marissa is sure if now Kevin must have been able to choose the best or not for his life.
“sad, If you are forced to cancel it, mama does not want you to regret it later.” Marissa.
Before answering Kevin sighed. “If it can, already from the beginning in abort. but in fact can not!”
“the problem is just the company, right? you can ask for help with Dylan or not om Haris, they will definitely help.”
Hearing that Kevin was silent for a moment while glancing at Marissa. “apa didn't say anything more about the same company mama?”
“not tuh.”
Kevin did not immediately answer, he snorted and the look of his face looks upset. ‘turns out he deliberately did it!’ inner grumbling.
“why are you silent? is there anything else going on?” marissa asked with an anxious look on her face.
“no ma, just.”
“what's free?”
“a few months ago grandma came here right?”
“iya, he did come to visit grandfather.”
“asal mama knows, the reason for grandma suddenly came was not only to want to visit grandfather, but he also wanted to control the company and wanted to ask directly about the problem.Papa told the truth, but he also wanted to control the company, after that grandma was angry and insulted papa, but in the end he offered help, but papa refused.”
marissa's forehead is wrinkled. “Loh, why?”
Kevin shrugged his shoulder. “entahlah.”
“do you know where this is from?” marissa asked with a serious mimic.
“grandma herself who said the same to me. and another one, in addition to grandma, om haris and Darren also actually already offered help but papa still refused it!” answer Kevin.
Hearing Kevin's explanation, Marissa straightened her body, her face harrumphed in anger.
“the shame of your father, it seems he deliberately did it so that you and his son Mr Ryan can get married! this can't be left, mama will talk to him.” Marissa said gruntly.
Marissa was ready to get up, but Kevin held her back. “Udahlah mah aja, already already already too. I don't want the condition of the company getting down if this matchup is canceled.”
“But you will not love Mayra dear.”
“Love will come by itself mah. If not, well.it might have been my fate like this.”
Marissa's face looked grim. “But darling.”
“Grandpa just improved ma, I don't want because of this problem grandfather's condition back drop. Besides that I also do not want mama and papa noisily.”
“nothing son, we're used to fuss. Besides mama where you can see you married a woman you do not love at all, mama wants to see you happy dear.”
“like what I said earlier, love will come if it is common. Although I'm not sure, but at least I will try.”
Marissa was silent, she looked at the child she continued wistfully. “you sure?”
Kevin nodded. Marissa took a breath.
“Yes already if it is your decision mama will support, but if you can not be forced.” said Marissa.
Kevin nodded in understanding. Marissa rubbed the child's head gently.
‘so sorry you son, you must be a victim of the selfishness of your own papa. ara.. please give me a hint what should I do?’ marissa murmured inwardly, then the Woman let out a heavy sigh.
“Oh yes where is your brother?” Ask.
“Tadi sih in room.” Kevin Sahut.
Marissa frowning. “ngapain? This feeling all day mama noticed your brother in the room continues, out just want to eat doang. Not usually?”
“maybe more busy kepoin ex.”
Hearing that Marissa laughed a little. “You've been around, since when did your brother that one had an ex, a date never been.”
kevin shrugged his shoulders without turning, while Marissa only shook her head.
“Ya already mama stay yah.”
“Hem.”
Marissa went from there and walked up the stairs to her eldest son's room.
...💐💐💐...
Geck.. Geck.. Geck..
Marissa knocked on Rafael's room door, and shortly afterwards an inside answer was heard. The woman pressed the doorknob and opened it, in there Marissa saw Rafael sitting on the sofa struggling in front of her laptop on her lap.
“again son, I think it's serious?” ask Marissa as the road approaches.
“again checking the financial statements of the office aja mah.” replied Rafael without turning his head.
Marissa who heard that sighed, if Rafael was in this serious fashion it was very similar to her workaholic father.
“do not be too in forsir dear, think also with your own health. Mama noticed all day you're in the room, out just want to eat. That's also if mama ingetin.”
“iya ma, briefly again finished kok.”
Slowly Marissa walked over, and sat down beside her.
“oh yes raf, just your sister wants to marry again. You alone when?”
“when what?” asked Rafael did not understand, while looking at Marissa.
“nikah dong darling! Sooner again will age you want 29 years, it's time you think about a mate. Mama wants before you go to the family later, you are married. Yes. at least have children, let here mama there is a friend. Especially your grandfather who wants to carry his great-grandfather.”
“I have not thought there mah, anyway the limit is also until I am 30. There are still 2 years left.”
“do not do that, son, pity your grandfather. He was dizzy thinking how to fail Kevin's marriage, continue now you want to add also by procrastinating for marriage?”
Hearing that Rafael's hand movements immediately stopped, he turned to Marissa.
“mama says gini doesn't mean anything dear, but age nobody knows. Mama just don't want you to regret it later in the day.”
Rafael is silent.
“ya already mama stay yes, and think again about the talk of mama earlier.”
After saying that Marissa got up from her seat and came out of Raphael's room, while the master was still silent.
As soon as Marissa came out, Rafael seemed to sigh. Then grabbed his phone next to him and turned it on, there was a row of writings from one of the portals that spread the scandal of one of the artists from his family-owned agency.
Then his gaze ran to a figura of a woman who was at a long table, her face 90% very similar to him.
‘maybe it's time?’ his mind asks itself.
...💐💐💐...
Adinata and Yuna were shocked when they suddenly heard someone's voice, they turned their heads and the shock appeared again as they stared at the person's face.
“T-mister Rafael!” Adinata said stammered, she immediately stood up, her little eyes widened and her face looked deathly pale like seeing a ghost.
Rafael smiled faintly as he lowered his head a sign of respect. “Halo uncle.”
in a hasty step Adinata walked over to Rafael, followed by his wife who followed him behind.
“What do you mean say like that?” ask Adinata with a surprised face.
“I'll explain it but.. can we talk about it inside?” pinta Rafael's.
“O-oh sure! Please.” Adinata invites Rafael into the house and tells him to sit on the sofa.
Two different men of that generation were already sitting opposite, while Yuna covered going to the kitchen to make drinks.
“Tuan-”
“Don't make me look like a brash kid by calling me so uncle, just call me Rafa.” cut Rafael unkindly.
“A-ah.. Alright Rafa, uncle is just surprised by your arrival here.”
“forgive me uncle.”
“not what, then.. Do you want to meet Rendy?”
rafael's face looks shocked when he heard the name of his best friend mentioned, he does not know if Rendy is also in Jakarta.
“Rendy is here too?”
Adinata nodded. “Iya, need uncle call?”
Rafael shook his head. “oh No need uncle, I came here not to meet Rendy but want to meet with aunt and uncle. I want to talk about Selena.”
Adinata who heard that was silent for a moment, her face turned serious.
“emm.. if you come here just to talk about the issue, better not involve Yuna first.”
“why is that so, wouldn't it be great if aunt knows too?”
“iya indeed, it's just that his mood is not good at the moment. Uncle please, you can understand.”
Rafael looks mangosteen. “iya uncle, I understand.”
Shortly after, Yuna came back with a tray of two drinks, and placed them on the table.
“Please on drink mr. Rafa.” Yuna said.
“Thank you aunt.” replied, then she grabbed the glass and drank it.
meanwhile Adinata glanced at Yuna giving the code so that she could leave him alone. His wife had refused, but after realizing the sharp gaze of the husband he finally went upstairs.
“Ehm..so how?”
“as you heard earlier, I will be in charge of Selena.”'s pregnancy His saute.
“But why should you, should it be Chandra! because he's the one who impregnated Selena.”
“all misunderstood, actually Selena was pregnant not because of Chandra but. because of me.”
Adinata was surprised, both of her thick eyebrows furrowed deeply. “You mean?”
“Before I apologize for making you guys shy but that's the fact, selena is pregnant because of me.”
Adinata was silent for a moment, her narrow eyes looking at Rafael with a suspicious look.
“You're not lying, are you?” Ask.
How unsuspecting, all this time he knew Rafael had never been close to any woman, but now he came and said that he had impregnated his nephew. He certainly wouldn't believe it.
“I didn't lie uncle.”.
“But why in the news said that Selena is pregnant with her son Chandra, and all this time also uncle never saw you close to selena or other women.”
“Actually the news was spread because of Renata, She was angry because she knew her husband had met Selena at the hotel when they were just discussing about work. She made a false statement in front of the media so that her husband would no longer see Selena.” Obviously Rafael with a serious face.
“So all that is slander?” Ask adinata.
Rafael nodded.
“What was the time you were there? And what kind of work are they talking about?”
“at that time they were talking about their cooperation that would promote a new clothing brand that would be issued by the chandra company, and the model is Selena. Actually I was there too, only that time I was out of the room because I wanted to meet my sister who happened to be there to prepare for her wedding, but as soon as I got back they were gone.”
Hearing a lengthy explanation from Rafael, adinata looks mangosteen. Even so, he did not fully believe it.
“If that's true why should I be at the hotel, why not just in the open?”
“we were also going to meet at the restaurant but suddenly my sister called to meet her at the hotel, so I think let's just.”
Adinata was silent, her eyes still fixed on the young man in front of her.
“you know what the law is to speak lies, let alone lie to parents?”
“I know uncle, and at this time I am not lying.” he said with full confidence, whereas in his heart he was tight-fisted.
Silence struck, neither Adinata nor Rafael gave a voice. The two men were still looking at each other with different meanings.
“well, uncle believe.” said adinata and it made Rafael sigh in relief.
“But.”
“but what uncle?” Saut Rafael fast.
Before answering, the adinata appears to lean her shoulders on the back of the sofa while both hands fold on the stomach.
“why did uncle ask about who got him pregnant, selena instead said that Chandra was not you?” Ask adinata.
As soon as Rafael looked agitated, both of his eyes moved left right. He was confused to reason especially because he was currently lying.
“Ah.. the.” Rafael looks to rub his nape.
“I-it was that we did deliberately keep our relationship secret to the media crew, uncle knew for himself how early Selena got into my agency like what. I'm just afraid if the media knows if we have a relationship, netizens will claim bad and his career will be disrupted.”
Adinata nodded in understanding, she understood very well what kind of artist life is. Moreover Selena can get into that agency thanks to Rafael, surely many have a bad assumption about her.
He knew that before their relationship was close. That's one of the reasons why Selena got Bullyan fitting in early debut, Selena became an artist, the relationship is a little tenuous and looks stiff. Once met was just a normal pleasantries, there was no warm talk like before.
“OK, uncle understands. Means your family doesn't know if you're impregnating Selena?”
“But.”
“Then what's your next plan?”
“of course I will marry Selena.” he said straightforwardly.
Rafael looks so confident in his words, making the adinata who had been suspicious to believe. Because he thinks if Rafael is lying where maybe he chose a woman like Selena, who he knows is pregnant from other men.
Rafael is not an arbitrary man, other than handsome and rich, he is also known to have a good attitude. If he wanted to, he could have chosen a much better woman than Selena. After all, there are also many out there who are waiting in line to be his wife and he just has to show.
But the fact is that now Rafael chose Selena instead, and from there he was sure that all Rafael's words were indeed there.
