Fugitive Woman

Grand Master

The President Director sitting in front of Kinanti smiled her smile very kindly. Kinanti clearly knew this figure in front of him well. How not? Yesterday they just had a long conversation at lunch. Yes, it turns out that the President Director who had been mysterious for Kinanti was the same old man who had chatted with him at lunch yesterday.

"Mr? Did you eat in the cafeteria yesterday?" Said Kinanti not believing what he saw.

The old man laughed. His appearance looks very different compared to yesterday. Yesterday he only wore collared shirts and basic pants. None of them looked fancy and luxurious.

Yet this old man before him was truly a different figure. He was wearing a neat suit with the right cut, anyone who saw it would be sure that it was an expensive suit. A luxurious watch was also coiled around his wrist. Patek Phillippe maybe? What is clear is that the man whom Kinanti met yesterday and who sat before her is like the North Pole and the Sahara Desert. Really am!

"Why, Kinanti? Are you surprised to see me here?" He said while laughing.

Kinanti just nodded. This shock still made his brain hang and could not react.

"I'm the President Director of the company you worked for 3 years, Kinanti." Follow the old man again.

"So the Father is Mr Bambang Sudiro Wijaya? Our President Director? The owner of this company?" Ask Kinanti to make sure.

The old man laughed. He then nodded.

"Maybe you're so indifferent to office politics that you don't care about the directors?" Said Mr. Bambang.

Kinanti smiled badly.

"Do you know why I called you here?" Ask Mr. Bambang to Kinanti.

"No idea, sir." Answer Kinanti. Because it was true that Kinanti did not know why he was summoned here. Could he go up again?

Mr. Bambang smiled with great dignity. For a moment he seemed to delay his words and continued.

"I want you to marry my son, Darian."

...****************...

Kinanti was stunned by the words of the old man in front of her. A winanti? Married to Darian the Boiling Kettle? How come? What was Darian's father thinking until he chose Kinanti to marry his son?

"Why do you look so surprised, Kinanti?"

Kinanti blinked her eyes a few times.

"But why, sir?" Ask Kinanti confused.

"Why do I want you to be my daughter-in-law?" Said Mr. Bambang as if he understood Kinanti's question.

Kinanti again nodded.

Kinanti was getting confused. According to Kinanti her boss was still the same as the first day she worked with him. A cruel angry sociopath.

"Maybe you're confused about what changes are in Darian. But I am his father and I know my son very well. Since you were his secretary for the past 2 months, there have been a lot of changes to Darian." Connect Mr. Bambang.

"What changes, sir?" Kintanti asked still did not understand.

"The most obvious thing is that his anger is no longer as big as it used to be. And at least Darian's been a little more diligent and professional since you were his secretary. And I believe Darian could be better off if he married you, Kinanti." Answer Mr. Bambang.

Is that so? Is it really Kinanti who helped Darian become like this? Even if it is true, it is Kinanti's obligation to be responsible to her boss. But being a wife is very different from just being a secretary. And Kinanti was not sure if he was able to carry it out. Moreover, the man he will marry has the same level of emotion as the movie's antagonist.

"You can talk to your parents first. But I tell you a little bit, this is a very good offer for you and Darian is also handsome, right? Please think well because I do not accept rejection in any form, Kinanti." Said Mr. Bambang full of authority.

Kinanti. His head is dizzy to make decisions as to what. Matter of marriage is not something trivial and can be decided with a cup chip stamp only. But it seems that her marriage will have such a fate. And he himself was not sure his parents would object to this cup. Who's stupid enough to turn down the chance to be the tycoon's son-in-law? Why is his life so complicated?

...****************...

Kinanti knows her parents as well as she knows herself. And true guess, his parents agreed with the offer given by Mr. Bambang. As if without feeling it was the wrong thing, they agreed without hesitation.

"Well? Is that right, son? Your boss said that? He wants you to be his daughter-in-law?" Ask his mother as if she did not believe what she heard.

Kinanti. Honestly, he was also surprised to see his parents look very enthusiastic.

"But Kinanti doesn't like Mr. Darian, Mom. I don't want to marry her." Kinanti tried to refuse.

"You don't be stupid, son! Love is not important in marriage. Can you buy rice with love?" Reply Mother Kinanti.

Kinanti. Well at least that doesn't mean he should marry a vile man like Darian right?

"It's a good opportunity, son. You could be the mistress in the conglomerate's mansion. Your life must be guaranteed and your sisters might be in high school." His father persuaded Kinanti.

Kinanti. It never occurred to him that by marrying Darian, maybe Kinanti could improve the life of her family. Maybe his family could live in a much better house and his younger siblings would get the chance to go to school until college. But Kinanti doubted, was this all worth his freedom that he had to pawn?

"By the way, kid, remember what your boss said. He said himself that he wouldn't accept rejection, right? We don't know what might happen if you reject it." His mother again persuaded Kinanti to steady her heart.

"You should think of your brothers, Ti. Pity them if their lives are hard. If you become Mr. Bambang's son-in-law, everything will be guaranteed. So please, accept this offer." Her father held onto Kinanti's hand while looking at her. Hoping that his daughter's stance could falter with that pinta-filled gaze.

Could it be that something bad would happen if Kinanti rejected this offer? Losing his job may be the most trivial thing that can happen. What if Mr. Bambang gets offended and gets him blacklisted for various companies? Kinanti's life will definitely many times become more difficult after that. And Kinanti did not have the heart to trouble her parents further when she lost her job.

Like a game. Their lives below are but a game to those above. The rich can choose and take a foreign girl to be his son-in-law. No one will reject it, right? Who wants to give up the only chance to get a golden spoon in life?
