"Aren't our future daughters-in-law very handsome" said Veronica Kuncoro as she placed a cup of coffee on the living room table.
"What good is good looking if only comes from an unclear family." when Purwadi responded to his wife's words, Purwadi looked upset, he just flipped through the newspapers in his hands.
Veronica simply silently responded to her husband's words and sat down right next to her husband.
Purwadi then threw the newspaper he was reading at the table. "I do not understand what is in my father's head, how he might raise a child is not clear origin to be a candidate successor to the family" Purwadi said with a sharp tone.
"Are I really not considered in his eyes!" suhut Purwadi asked himself.
A few years ago, Purwadi held the position of CEO at a company that was planned to be led by Tristan. But after a while in office, the company's condition worsened, which made Subroto appoint Bisma Kuncoro who is Purwadi's brother, to replace Purwadi as CEO.
Purwadi himself was appointed to the board, although on paper he was promoted, he felt annoyed that he knew that he was giving up the position simply because he was the son of the second largest shareholder in the Tirta Baskara Group, in terms of performance Purwadi is considered not good in taking care of the company.
Bisma Kuncoro himself was adopted by Subroto, When Subroto and his late wife did not have children, they adopted Bisma who at that time was 2 years old, it turned out that after a few months finally his wife became pregnant and Purwadi was born.
After being appointed to lead a nearly destroyed company at the hands of Purwadi, Bisma showed satisfactory performance, the company led by him was getting better, and more, several years under his leadership the company became one of the companies that are quite in view in Indonesia.
But a while ago, Bisma Kuncoro was proven to embezzle company funds. Bhishma tries to evade, but the evidence says otherwise.
Angered and disillusioned by Bisma Kuncoro, Subroto dismissed Bisma and removed her from the Kuncoro family.
Of course Bhishma did not do that despicable act, it was all a fabrication from Purwadi who was helped by his confidants to depose Bhishma.
That way he could control the company with a turnover of hundreds of billions, but Purwadi again disappointed, when Subroto turned out to give the company with a turnover of hundreds of billions to Tristan, the company, an onion that is not clear of the origin of its family.
"Please, won't Tristan be our daughter-in-law?" veronica said to her husband.
Purwadi immediately turned to his wife, knowing that there was another meaning to the words his wife had just said.
"Don't if Tristan were to be the CEO of that place, we could set him up like a doll?" he continued with an evil smile to his husband.
Like getting a breath of fresh air, Purwadi's facial expression came back excited. "Haha .. true my wife, after all the rotten old man was sick, for how long he lasted, when he was gone, I just kicked Tristan like I kicked Bhishma," purwadi said interspersed with laughter while patting his wife's shoulder.
"They both come from families that are not clear, it is appropriate that they have the same fate" said Veronica who was greeted with laughter by her husband.

Tristan and Gea have arrived in Cafezoid, so get off the car Gea directly holding Tristan's hand with friendly, Tristan also not too much concern about it, according to him it's only natural Gea behave like that, gea is also his fiancee.
Once inside, the 3 girls greeted them, Gea also directly waved her hand towards where the three girls were sitting, she then pulled Tristan's hand gently to speed up their steps.
The three girls named, Dini, Fika and Dewi, the three of them let Gea and Tristan sit down. After that they started to introduce themselves to Tristan.
"Crazy Gea! Your fiance is so handsome!" an early exclamation to Gea without trying to hide it. Both of Gea's friends also nodded in agreement with early words.
"She must be of Caucasian descent, her eyes are very beautiful" said Fika, who also admired the good looks of Gea's fiance.
"God ... Gea you are very lucky" said Dewi.
Hearing the praise from the three girls in front of him, Tristan could only smile, he was at a loss for how to respond to the praise from the three girls.
Gea smiled proudly, Gea was satisfied with the praise her best friend had given Tristan.
"He must be the son of a wealthy family" Dini asked Gea about Tristan's status.
"Hey of course Tristan son of a rich family," replied Dewi, "There is no way the Kuncoro family accepts people whose origins are unclear," continued Dewi while turning to Dini.
"So what kind of business does your future husband's family run?" fika asked Gea, her two friends also immediately turned to Gea, waiting for the answer that Gea would give.
"Ohh ..it ...," said Gea, stammering, "Tristan is from America, his family runs a culinary business there, and already has branches in several places in America," connect Gea with a slightly clumsy tone.
"Wahh amazing ..,"that the three friends of Gea simultaneously turned to Tristan who immediately returned a smile by him.
Tristan himself wanted to laugh at Gea's reply and the expression of Gea's friends, in his heart he said "Since when my family was doing business in America."
After that, the three friends of Gea, again gave a lot of questions to Gea, from starting the plan to get married, where to stay after marriage, to how many children they asked Gea, Gea himself was seen serving one question from his best friend.
While Tristan only nodded, and occasionally said yes to questions that were like endless, he handed it to Gea to answer the curiosity of his best friend.
As Gea and her best friend were busy talking, from the entrance three young men, possibly 25, entered and headed straight for Tristan.
Seeing the man who had just entered, Gea looked shocked and immediately stood up from her seat, as well as Gea's friends who were surprised to see the figure of the man who approached them.
"Devan?" gea said to Devan who was standing next to their table.
Tristan of course immediately turned his head towards Gea.
"Hi Gea, how are you, baby?" reply the man to Gea
Tristan looked at the man while raising one eyebrow. "Darling?" tristan asked, he then turned to Gea who looked panicked.
"Devan, why are you here?" gea asked Devan who was looking at Tristan arrogantly.
"Hey I heard you were walking along with your fiancee, of course I came to greet and get acquainted with your fiance," Devan replied in a haughty tone.
"I want to see the figure of the person who made you leave me" he said, again looking at Tristan with a haughty look. "It turns out that just a smelly boy, I was surprised by your grandfather's choice," he continued, looking at the two men behind him who were immediately greeted with laughter by the two men.
"Interesting ...," Tristan murmured inwardly as she crossed her arms.
"Devan we've broken up, I don't love you anymore!" sahut Gea clenched both hands.
"Huh? didn't you promise me that you would reject your arranged marriage plan with this stinking child!" sahut Devan looks angry.
Gea panicked when Devan said that.
Tristan himself was still sitting in silence, he looked a little interested in the word REJECT that Devan had just said, nor did he attempt to break up Gea and Devan, either, according to him, it was only two ex-lovers who were involved in an argument.
"Devan quiet!" sahut Gea also began to look angry.
"You left me for a child whose origins are unclear? you think I don't know your fiance's background?" sahut Devan pointed at Tristan in a loud voice.
Hearing that, Gea was already unable to cover her shocked expression, she did not expect that her former lover would know that much.
As with his three companions, seeing Gea's expression, they were sure that Gea was hiding something.
Tristan was surprised, of course, by Tristan's knowledge, that it was just the Gea family, so Tristan came to the conclusion that someone in the Gea family had told Devan.
"How can Devan know that" Gea murmured inwardly.
"Devan I beg you to stop" Gea said in a clear tone.
In Gea's current mind, it's free to argue with Devan, if it continues, Gea is afraid that her best friend is getting suspicious and eventually finds out, if she's lying about Tristan's background to them.
"Alright, but you must meet me to settle our relationship properly." Devan replied to Gea.
Gea turned to Tristan who was still sitting in silence, Gea thought maybe Tristan was afraid, let alone Devan coming with his two friends, Gea said, therefore Gea feels that Tristan will not be angry and will understand if he agrees to Devan's request to meet him.
"Well," said Gea, nodding, and sure enough, Tristan did not forbid it, Tristan still remained silent and did not respond to it.
Devan also thought the same thing, he felt that Gea's fiancee boy seemed to be frightened and did not dare to speak. Therefore, it was in his head an idea to humiliate Tristan in front of Gea's friends.
"Okay Darling ..," Devan retorted as she reached out her hand to touch Gea's chin, Gea also seemed not to dodge, Gea just hoping Devan would leave immediately and leave them.
But just before touching Gea's chin, still sitting on the chair, Tristan caught Devan's hand and squeezed it firmly, causing Devan to grimace in pain, with eyes bulging and a slightly tilted head, Tristan said "What do you want to do?"
Of course it made everyone surprised, since earlier when Devan and Gea were arguing Tristan looked unconcerned, but at this moment Tristan looked extremely angry, his gaze was currently filled with a murderous aura.
Tristan stood up and looked at Devan's face.
"Since you spoke to Gea, I have never interfered, I think you need to sort things out between you and I have no right to interfere in that.
But at this time you are breaking boundaries, at this time Gea status is different, when you are still with him, you are free to touch him, but currently He is my Fiance! She's my woman! so know your place, then,
Tristan keeps squeezing Devan's hands.
Devan looks in pain he tried to pull his hand but to no avail, Tristan himself has no intention of letting go of the hand that tried to touch his woman.
The two men brought by Devan approached, Gea herself was aghast at seeing Tristan suddenly act like that, but when she saw the two people Devan was carrying started to approach, Gea immediately hugged Tristan's arm.
"Tristan ... already," Gea said in an imploring tone.
Hearing Gea's request, Tristan immediately released Devan's hand, not because Tristan was afraid that if he had to fight with the three people, he only appreciated the request from his fiance.
Once detached, Devan wants to attack Tristan, but Gea stops him.
"Devan! ..please stop!!" Gea again begged Devan.
"Ah ... shit!" devan said as he struck the table in front of him, he then looked at Tristan and said "You're lucky boy, if it wasn't for Gea, I would have beaten you to a pulp, l" he said angrily as he turned around to leave the place with his two friends.
Tristan smiled cynically at Devan's words, in his heart he said. "You are the lucky one."
After Devan left the cafe, Gea pulled Tristan's arm gently and asked him to sit down.
The three friends of Gea were still silent, they still looked shocked by the incident that had just happened.
The people who had been watching had also returned to their respective activities even though some of them were still seen whispering while occasionally glancing to the place of Tristan and Gea.
After the incident for a while the atmosphere between them looks awkward, but with time, the atmosphere can return to liquid.
