Grandpa's Choice Man

Slightly Eased

"Sir Hadi Tjokro Kusumo?" call a couple a flabbergasted wife.

Suddenly, the time in the lobby seemed to stop. There's no speech. There's no movement. Everyone doesn't believe what they hear. Selvi's pregnancy puzzles become increasingly complicated and elusive. Tiara who had been silent beside Tika was increasingly curious to follow the storyline that had disturbed her household.

"What does all this mean, sir? How could I marry my son to you. Even if your son doesn't want to take responsibility, I'm not going to ask you to bear it. It is better to teach your son to be more manly and accountable for his actions" said Pak Bima firmly.

"The attitude he took was correct. He should not be held responsible for the confessions of people who do not conform to reality. I will be responsible. It's purely my fault. Please, do not bring Arjuna in this matter" said Mr. Hadi seriously.

"Can't be, sir. Every parent must have defended his son, but where possible I married my daughter to Mr. Hadi. Apart from age, it also seems inappropriate for a father to take responsibility for the actions of his son in terms of marriage," argued Pak Bima.

"I told you. I swear that Arjuna has nothing to do with this. This is purely my act and my mistake. I dare a DNA test with Selvi's fetus. If you please, I'll marry your daughter. If it is not pleasing, I will bear the cost of living Selvi and the fetus she contains," said Mr. Hadi in a loud voice but remained calm.

"If defending a child, it doesn't have to be this way either, sir. This name is outrageous, if Arjuna does not want to admit his mistakes. We will also accept. We are willing to finance them but do not destroy my child's self-esteem by claiming that you are the father of his fetus," denied Pak Bima did not believe.

"I'll explain, but not here. Let our personal problems not become public consumption. Let's talk carefully. If we talk slowly, Selvi will also long melt and gradually calm down. Arjuna is innocent. He knew Selvi as a model in my agency and never interacted with her," defended Pak Hadi made Selvi's parents kicep.

"It's impossible, Pa. Our daughter.." Bu Rita's crying finally broke in her husband's arm.

"I still do not believe completely" said Mr. Bima.

"Tonight, I will come to the house to explain everything" said Mr. Hadi politely.

"The more absurd. Out of sight, rich man. Can play tricks and buy women's self-esteem. Father same son equally doyan woman. How can a child not be a bastard if his parents defend excessively," looks Mr. Bima shook his head.

"I'm sorry, dear Mr. Bima. As you go further and open your own disgrace to your beloved daughter, I reiterate that I have no interest at all in the woman who has destroyed my parents' household. Is it less clear? Do I have to make it clear again how the scandal between my father's daughter and my father is here?" challenge Arjuna who is emotionally ignited but still trying to maintain an attitude.

"Pa, let's just go home. We follow the words of Mr. Hadi. Don't talk any more or we'll embarrass Selvi even more. Come on, go home, Pa," take Bu Rita as he pleased and could not stand the statements that slashed the fortress of his defense.

"If until proven this was only Pak Hadi's wits to cover up Arjuna's mistake, I wouldn't let Arjuna live a quiet life in the future," mencam Pak Bima glared sharply at Arjuna and Pak Hadi alternately.

Arjuna returned Pak Bima's gaze without fear at all and puffed out his chest. Mr. Hadi who looks awkward and feels guilty.

"Enough, Pa. Don't say the no-no. Let's go home. Calm Selvi," persuaded Bu Rita who no longer knows how to respond to her condition.

Did Mr Hadi have anything to do with the melee Selvi made all this time? Where it might be a coincidence many times, my audit schedule could be the same as their survey schedule. Then, when I was fighting with Brother, someone sent a picture of me with Mr. Juna. If there were no insiders, how could it be a coincidence like this. About Mr. Juna's feelings, was it just a charade to distract me from Brother? Well, why does my brain have to think this hard, God. Tiara upset herself for speculating too much in her heart.

After the return of Selvi's parents who were very hasty and restrained the shame, Pak Hadi and Arjuna were still silent in place without any conversation even though their gazes were talking to each other. Activity in the lobby and surrounding areas returned to normal, only Tiara still stood still because she wanted to clarify her prejudices so as not to become bad.

Tiara also walked up to Pak Hadi who lowered his head with a sad face. Seeing Tiara's feet stand not far from his face, Pak Hadi raised his head and looked at Tiara with guilt that was back on fire.

"Sir, I'm sorry if I was presumptuous to ask you something at this crucial moment. However, I couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to immediately know the truth of my prejudices" Tiara said politely.

"good. What do you want to ask?" ask Mr. Hadi lethargic.

"Did Mr Hadi know about the drama Selvi made to Bang Rama and me?" tiara said expectantly.

Arjuna who had been silent since then, finally looked at Pak Hadi and Tiara alternately. His surprised face was so obvious that Selvi and Rama were mentioned in their conversation.

"So, all this time, Papa knew that Tiara was married?" sela Arjuna with a high voice.

Mr. Hadi nodded slowly assuring Tiara and Arjuna's question. His face was getting lethargic and limp full of secrets that seemed to want to be spilled.

"Come, you guys come to my room. Let me explain everything. I hope you can forgive me after this" asked Mr. Hadi with humility.

Tiara and Arjuna nodded in agreement to Mr. Hadi's invitation. Tiara and Arjuna followed Hadi, who walked to the elevator to talk about everything in the CEO's room.

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

"Why yesterday did Papa fully support me with Tiara? Papa knew he was married. Is Papa proud to have a child who almost destroyed people's households? Is this part of that rotten woman drama too?" tanya Arjuna opened the word.

"Papa's sorry, Arjuna. Papa will explain everything. Whether you want to believe it or not. At that time, Selvi comes and claims to be Tiara's best friend. He said Tiara needed help because she was betrothed by her parents to Rama and they did not live happily. On the other hand, before marrying Tiara, Rama was Selvi's girlfriend and broke up due to the matchmaking. At that time, Papa was also worried about Arjuna whose heart had not completely melted with women. Knowing Tiara is a good woman but wasted by her husband, Selvi offers to work together. If Papa can help Selvi get Rama again, then Tiara can get closer to Arjuna. Papa just wants the best for you Arjuna, but it turns out Papa's way is wrong. And, there is no way Papa can also tell all the reasons behind it because it only concerns me and Selvi," explained Mr. Hadi with his own eyes staring at his son.

"But how could Papa think of bringing me closer to someone's wife? If Selvi can get close to people's husbands, it does not mean that it is also common for me to be close to people's wives. Let Papa be used by a snot boy like him. It turns out that being too loving and too blind is hard to tell apart. After seizing Papa from Mama, he wants to take Rama from Tiara and Papa instead supports him. How could Papa have such crazy thoughts? Then, how is the story of Papa to be able to impregnate him? I don't know Papa anymore. No longer understand the way of Papa's mind," decak annoyed Arjuna who did not know how to show expression.

"Papa's sorry. Papa khilaf's. Initially, Papa did not agree but for very private reasons, finally Papa obeyed," regretted Pak Hadi lowered his head with teary eyes.

"That Khilaf was once, Pa," Arjuna denied growing emotion.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hadi. About the pictures of Bang Rama and he's also in the scenario you've created to destroy our household?" ask Tiara to the point but be polite.

"Rubber," replied Mr. Hadi justifying with a shy face full of regret.

"The man who sent the photo to Bang Rama when I and Pak Juna's entourage went to Yogja?" ask Tiara.

Mr. Hadi just nodded because he could no longer speak.

"the photo? Time to go to Yogya?" sela Arjuna was confused by the direction of their conversation.

"What is planning an event in Bogor at the same time as you?" ask Tiara again as she gets more curious.

"Yes. We adjusted your schedule," replied Mr. Hadi staring at Tiara full of apologies.

"For the incident at the hotel, Selvi almost raped my husband. That was your plan too?" tiara continued to press patiently even though her annoyance was overwhelming.

Arjuna was increasingly flabbergasted to listen to Selvi's behavior that was completely beyond reason. He just shook his head while listening to a conversation like he did not know exactly how it was.

"Why would you want to separate me and my husband? Why do you also make the Father's son to realize your favorite woman's obsession? Aren't you heartbroken to see your beloved woman fight for another man?" cerocos Tiara was not inexhaustible with the thoughts of Mr. Hadi.

"What made me do it. Maybe I feel sorry that you are tormented by your marriage because everything is still a secret. Perhaps also, I was too worried about Arjuna's soul mate. Perhaps also, I was too blind to love Selvi to be willing to help her to get another man. He was smart to take my heart so I easily fell out with him. But everything is purely because of my mistakes and stupidity. Selvi is just too obsessed with Rama. I apologize profusely with you and Rama. When Rama has time, let's have tea together to fix everything" said Mr. Hadi with a very sad face hingqa touched Tiara's heart.

"Good, Sir. I will try to talk to my brother. For Selvi's pregnancy, did Mr Hadi know from the beginning?" reply Tiara with humility.

"It has. From the beginning, I wanted to take responsibility but he refused and still wanted to marry Rama. I can understand his rejection because indeed we are more worthy of being a father and son than a husband and wife," said Mr. Hadi very very self.

"If she doesn't want to get married, why would she get pregnant? What do you call it if it's not a lacur, Pa?" arjuna was full of anger.

Mr. Hadi was unable to speak so much shame and regret. He just wiped the cold sweat that had soaked his forehead because he was too nervous to open all the secrets.

"Sir, I hope you no longer need to help the woman to get my husband. Even though we were married because of an arranged marriage, we were able to accept and love each other. Our household had cracked yes because of the problems Selvi made. In fact, not long ago, Selvi almost committed suicide asking to be married by my husband. He's been very dangerous. The rest, me and my husband live a normal happy life," said softly Tiara pleading.

Arjuna's heart was certainly very sad to hear Tiara's statement that sounded so sincere about loving her husband. Not that he does not like Tiara to live happily but still there is a sense of jealousy that lingers in his heart after Tiara's rejection of his expression of love. However, he did have a taste for Tiara even though he was not entirely sure that it was love or admiration. In his inner pain, he continued to try to strengthen himself and let go of a destiny that had not yet allowed him to anchor his heart.

"Good, Tiara. Again, I'm sorry. I am truly sorry for all my actions in favor of Selvi's bad intentions. I will try to fix everything as much as I can," said Mr. Hadi firmly but in a soft voice and kept, "Arjuna, forgive Papa too yes. Forgive Papa's rash actions so that you must swallow again bitterly disappointed. I hope you will soon meet the best and best women. Don't shut yourself down too much because not all women are as bad as your prejudices."

"Yes, Pa. Hopefully everything will be done soon however it ends," Arjuna replied a little slackened and his emotions subsided.
