“good, because that is what you have to do. Dare to do, then have to dare to be responsible.” said adinata with a firm tone.
Raphael, who heard the mangosteen, agreed with Adinata.
“tapi.” the greeting hangs.
“apa?” ask adinata curious.
“I will marry Selena after Kevin is married, and I will also hold a press conference on the matter.does uncle not mind?”
“not at all, it's up to you. As long as it doesn't interfere with Selena's life or the family, the uncle agrees. But have you talked about this with Selena?”
Rafael shakes. “Not uncle, from yesterday I have tried to contact Selena but she does not want to answer. Maybe he's still angry and that's why I suddenly came here.”
“Oh. so. Well.. You know, right now his mind is in a state of turmoil so he needs time to be alone. Do you want to meet him now?”
The man nodded without saying. Of course he wanted to meet her, wasn't his original purpose indeed wanting to meet the girl as well as wanting to talk about his plan.
“Ya already will uncle call, you wait here.” Say Adinata, then get up from her seat and walk towards Selena's room.
...💐💐💐...
Adinata went into Selena's room, she saw the girl sitting on the wooden chair in front of the dresser still crying. While Rendy is seen crouching in front of her, both her hands clasping Selena's hands. It seems that the man is still trying to calm his cousin.
“Rendy.” Call adinata.
Feeling his name being called, Rendy turned to look at the voice and saw the father walking towards him. He also stood up directly.
“What's pa?” Ask.
“In front there nak Rafael.” replied adinata.
Instantly, Rendy's smooth forehead wrinkled, how did the man know that he was in Jakarta and what was he doing here? He is not currently in Korea. The question continued to lodge in Rendy's brain, he wondered if Rafael had come to his house.
Selena who heard her uncle's words immediately stopped crying, she looked at Adinata's face with a surprised face and her eyes were fleshy.
“P-pak Rafael is here? In this house?” Peeked Selena, In her mind this must have something to do with her work.
‘will my career end soon? jesus.. I'm not ready.’ inner.
“Iya, said she wants to meet you.” Adinata speech that is able to make Selena ketar ketir.
“Ren, how is this. I'm not ready.” Lirih Selena, she clasped tightly onto the man's hand.
“Why did you lie to Uncle Len.” Acknowledged Adinata made the views of his son and nephew focus on him.
Selena looked at the uncle while frowning in understanding, as did Rendy.
“What uncle mean? What did I lie to?"
"Yes you lied, said you were pregnant with Chandra's child but it wasn't. That's Rafael's son, right?”
DEG!
“Hah!”
Hearing the father's words, Rendy immediately looked at Selena with a shocked face. While Selena was silent and frowning, she did not understand what her uncle was saying.
“This page says what the hell? Lena does not understand.” elaknya with a confused face.
“Udah do not dodge anymore, Rafael has told everything that you have been silent in a relationship. Aye right?”
Especially this. Silence in relationship? With Rafael? Just be right!
The woman got up from her seat while shaking her head. “But uncle I don't-”
“Udah you should quickly meet him and immediately talk about your marriage.”
“What? A wedding? But-”
“We meet him.” Rendy said in a cold tone, then pulled Selena's hand out of the room.
...💐💐💐...
“Explain to me what do you mean talk like that same appa? Why are you pregnant with Selena?” Rendy asked as she arrived in the living room, she sat on the long sofa in front of Rafael, while Selena sat next to him.
The man's face was stiff, his jaw was hardened and there was a red glint under his eyes. It seemed like he was restraining his anger from exploding.
Rafael did not immediately reply, he looked at Selena and Rendy alternately then smiled.
“Keep ren, I came here there's a goal that is to help your beautiful cousin.” Said Rafael calmly, glancing towards Selena.
“don't beat around the bush, Answer my question!” Rendy.
“Ren.” Tegur Selena's.
“OK okay, I'll answer but can we find a safe place first. You see this problem no one should know.”
“Including my parents?”
“Iya.”
“Alright, let's talk about this in Alya's room only. Coincidentally the room was soundproof.” break up Rendy.
Selena and Rafael are seen nodding in agreement with Rendy's words, a second later they pass from there and go to Alya's room. Once inside, Rendy immediately closed the room and locked it. Coincidentally in the room was a round table and two wooden chairs, Alya used to study groups. Rendy and Rafael sat on the wooden chair, while Selena sat on the lip of the last bed.
“So how?” Tanya Rendy started the conversation.
“Ehm.. okay gini, I will help Selena problems as long as you help me too.” Reply Rafael.
Rendy who heard it frowned did not understand, nor did selena. “Means?”
“You know, if in a week Kevin and Mayra will get married?” both irises of Rafael's eyes looked seriously at Rendy and Selena alternately.
Compactly, Selena and Rendy nodded.
“Well, so I ask you to foil that wedding.”
Sure was! Selena and Rendy look shocked while looking at each other, then look back at Rafael.
“Foiling how do you mean father? You wouldn't tell me to burn the building, would you?” Selena asked with her innocent face.
Rafael who heard that immediately laughed, while shaking his head. “No, it's not like that Lena. If you do that, there you will end up in jail.”
“Or do you want me to find a replacement for Mayra?” Ask Selena again.
“Not.” Reply Rafael.
“Then how?”
“How easy is it, you just convince Alya to be willing to marry Kevin.”
“WHAT!!”
rendy and Selena shouted at the same time, with widened eyes.
Rafael just nodded.
Silent..
For a few seconds Rendy and Selena were silent, both faces looked shocked upon hearing the terms Rafael proposed.
“How?” He asked, as his eyes looked at Selena and Rendy alternately.
“you no longer hurt raf?” reply Rendy back nanya.
“Take.” The answer. “Emang why?” Ask later.
“you seriously want to marry Alya to Kevin?” Ask Rendy again.
Rafael nodded for sure.
“How much does Mayra need? How is your family too?”
“you are calm, about that let it be my business. What matters now you agree or not?”
Selena and Rendy are silent again, they don't know what to answer.
“So how, you agree not to my terms?” Rafael asked impatiently.
“Ap-is there no other condition sir, other than getting married?” This time Selena asked.
Rafael turned to the woman, then shook his head. “No! That's all I want right now.”
“But, ah. I think it will be difficult sir. My sister did not want to relate with a boy. Moreover, he does not know Kevin, especially his age is also still small.”
“at the moment how old is Alya?” Ask Rafael.
“21 year.” Answer Selena.
“Free 3 years different doang, still suitable. If about knowing what has not, they will be able to meet before marriage.”
“But-”
Selena did not continue her speech as Rafael's burly hand pulled her hand, which ended up holding her.
“don't worry, your brother will be safe with Kevin and he can still continue his studies until bachelor.” Rafael assured.
Then the man let go of his hand. “Yah.. as you know from the outside Kevin does look reliable and difficult to set, but the original is good. I'm sure he can take good care of Alya.” Reciprocity.
“Have you talked about this with Kevin himself?” Ask Rendy.
Rafael turned his head towards Rendy, then nodded. “Udah, and he agrees.”
...💐💐💐...

BRAKK!
there was a loud noise downstairs, like the sound of a door being forcefully opened and the origin of the sound coming from Aji's study.
The house does have two workspaces, on the lower floor belongs to Aji, while on the upper floor belongs to rafael.
Aji who was busy with a laptop and some sheets of paper immediately glanced towards the sound, there was already the wife standing in the doorway.
Marissa did not answer, she went into her husband's office and ended up closing the door.
“Please you mas!” yells.
“What do you mean? I'm overdoing why?” sahut aji while frowning.
“Do not pretend not to know, I already know everything. I didn't think you could be this bad! What kind of father are you?”
“I don't know what you're talking about, I'm evil why?” the sound of his voice still sounded soft.
“Why mas, why when our family members lend a helping hand you reject it! While it's Mr. Ryan's turn to help, you immediately accept it!”
Aji who heard that was shocked, and spontaneously stood up. “Where did you know about that?” tanyakanya.
Before replying, Marissa smiled wryly. “So all that right?”
“I asked you know where you are from?!” now his voice sounded loud, his eyes bulging.
“I really didn't expect you! Just for material sake, you can sacrifice the happiness of your own child.”
“Jawab my question Marissa!”
“Kevin has told me everything!”
Hearing Marissa's reply made Aji throw a rough breath, his face also looked angry.
“Mas must have done it all on purpose, so that Mayra and Kevin can get married? And mas will benefit, right?”
“No!” His eagle threw away his face.
“Don't lie to me anymore mas, haven't you been satisfied torturing your own son?”
“Shut your mouth, I never tortured my children! I did this all for their good!!” yelling aji pointing at Marissa's face with his finger, he did not accept being accused of torturing his own biological child.
“No torturing? Then what do you think that you're doing isn't torturing her? Wasn't satisfied to see the state of Kevin first, he-”
“What Kevin experienced first was not my fault, he was the one who chose women wrong!” cut aji fast. “Should now he be lucky to be married to the only daughter of wealthy pack Ryan, his life would definitely prosper.”.
“Not all happiness can be judged by the material mas, Kevin does not love Mayra.”
“The love affair is later, the sense that it will appear if they have lived together. Didn't we also like that?”
“T-but-”
“Already, you better get out of here and don't bother me!” Cetusus, then back to sit in his great chair.
“Mas.”
“Out!”
Marissa was silent for a moment, a second later she sighed. After that, the woman came out of her husband's office.
While upstairs, Kevin was standing at the end of the stairs, he just kept silent while staring at the departure of his stepmother.
He wanted to go down to the kitchen to get a drink, but when his feet touched the stairs he overheard a noise in his papa's study. The room was not soundproof, so whatever his parents said could be heard by him.
Kevin chuckles when he remembers his father's words, but his face looks furious.
“Kepaan? Huh, bullshit!” muttered.
Then he looked down, his gaze pointing to his left ring finger. There's a white ring around it, it's a symbol of her engagement to Mayra a year ago.
Shortly afterwards he turned around, stepped into his room and ended up closing the door.
Without the man realizing that not far from his position was Rafael, he stood in front of the door of his study located at the end of the room. Just like Kevin, Rafael also heard all the words of his parents.
Drrtnt ...
There was a sound of vibration coming from his cellphone which he had been holding, Rafael glanced at him. There was a contact name that he knew was calling, he immediately accepted it.
“ya, say.”
I don't know what someone said, but the clear look of Rafael's face immediately changed. After that he breathed.
“please.”
Rafael ends the call, then he steps into Kevin's room.
Gts .. Gts .. Gts ..
Rafael knocked on Kevin's room door, long enough he did that until his brother finally opened it.
“What's up?” the tanya is lazy, but Rafael can see there is a look of anger on Kevin's face.
“Gue wants to talk seriously with Lo.” replied Rafael.
“What's the problem?” ask again.
“Wedding Lo.”
Kevin rolled his eyeballs. “This time moreover, I have agreed to continue this silly wedding!”
“Can't we talk inside?”
Without a word Kevin widened the door of his room, letting his eldest brother in.
Rafael walks deeper into Kevin's room which looks spacious, clean and masculine. His eyes scoured the corner of the room carefully, until his steps stopped and sat himself on the edge of the bed.
“Lo so back tomorrow?” ask Rafael.
“Hm..” is just that Kevin's answer.
After that there is no longer any authorization from Rafael, the man is still with his activities. I looked at his sister's room.
“Actually you want to talk to me or want to look around my room anyway?” kevin asked, his face looking upset. Because from earlier his eldest brother was just silent while wailing, like looking for something.
“Selow bro.” say Rafael relax.
While Kevin who was already sitting in front of his dressing table snorted.
“The sit is far too, here is.” he said as he patted the mattress.
“Do not need a lot of bacots! To the point, you want to say what!”
Rafael breathed. “Before talking I want it first same Lo.”
“Apaan!”
“Lo not feeling the same as Mayra? You guys have been engaged for a year.”
“Nothing!”
“Why?”
“That's my personal problem, and.. NOT EVERYONE YOU SHOULD KNOW!”
“Should dong, I'm Abang Lo, not good secrets same brother.”
“Heleh... kayak Lo not only! Don't let me say the same mama, Lo has been dating Renata and whatever things you guys do!”
Hearing Kevin's threatening words, Rafael did not dare to tease his emotional sister.
“Okay, gini. If you want this wedding to be canceled, I'll be kabulin but Lo must follow my plan.”
Kevin cringing. “Lo is no longer joking, right? Just yesterday Lo beg-please make the same I continuedin, when I have agreed You want to cancel it so? Mean Lo what, huh!” His words were full of emotion, he felt in play.
“On yesterday I am sorry, because honestly I also do not actually agree. but want how else, the situation is forcing.”
“Keep why now you want to cancel?”
“Everybody can change, right? In any time soon Lo will also hold the company mama Ara, and I'm sure Lo can help the company that is here.”
“In addition. emm.. I also have other plans.”
“Means?”
“Lo still remember not the same Selena?” ask rafael.
Kevin was silent for a moment while thinking. “Selena former secretary Lo who is now the artist?” Guess what Rafael was thinking.
“Lo also must know that now he is again scandalized?”
“Ya, continues?”
“So gini, Selena had a sister and yesterday when I wanted to follow Lo to Jakarta, we left together. Said Rendy anyway he wanted to go to college there, so I planned to nolong Selena but on condition that he also had to help back. I'll ask them to convince their sister to marry Lo.”
DEG!
Hearing Rafael's last words, kevin was surprised instead of playing and his body immediately stiffened.
“W-what? Lv? Marriage to his sister? Lo crazy!”
“Why not? No matter what time Vin, besides his son is also beautiful really and looks like a good boy.”
Kevin did not immediately reply, he immediately stood up from his seat and rubbed his face rough. “Lo crazy bang! Absolutely insane! How can you tell me to marry the same girl-”
“Yes if you don't want no problem, I won't make it. Means Lo and Mayra will stay married.” cut Rafael.
Kevin glanced back at Rafael, his face flushed red. Rafael seemed to be smiling.
“Where?” Ask ensures.
“Then-he refused how?”
Rafael smiled widely, he got up from his seat and walked up to Kevin then grabbed his shoulders.
“Gue guarantees she will agree, if it comes to her brother.”
Kevin was seen closing his eyes while throwing his face away, a second later he turned his head back towards the older brother.
“OK, I agree.”
