Inggrids
Chapter 4 - Radafian Jasaka Aditama
Iin cursed himself, why was he foolishly still waiting for the reply of the message he sent to his best friend two days ago?
Let's say Iin was crazy waiting for uncertainty from his best friend Agus, he was already this sweet on his best friend so ignore the fact if his love only claps one hand. If his best friend Nadira Anjani Pratiwi, or Iin used to call Nadi, might decide to stop bothering the man he was expecting if he knew his love was unrequited.
When Iin tells the story of matchmaking and love that clapped one hand, he, Nadi had nagged him at length and finally gave him words of pearl that made him not believe that the words came out of the mouth of a Nadi who he knew for years as the most jutek girl.
Iin still very clearly remembered the words of Nadi when he called his friend in arms on the college bench, when Iin was doing a confiding session, Nadi said to him;
"The hardest decision you have to make is when you're tired of holding on, but you're too in love to let go. Realize when you should hold on and when you should let go. Realize that you are valuable!
Iin, there are times when you must let go of someone, not because you do not love him, but to keep our own hearts from being hurt again by the same attitude and because of the same person.
Iin, maybe letting go is something that hurts, but sticking with a person whose heart doesn't know who it's for is more painful
Stop holding on to something you don't deserve. Maybe you'll be heavy and hurt to let go. But believe me, there is better as a healer to come "
As long as he was friendly with Nadi, this was the longest sentence he had heard from a Nadi. Honestly, his words were very heart-stopping and enough to make him stunned and hurt by that fact. The corner of Iin's heart was pinched and refused to agree with Nadi's words, but the other corner of his heart and his mind strongly agreed with Nadi's words.
Thanks to the slurs, nagging sentences and Nadi's words of pearl, a flashback of his 4-year struggle he spent pursuing his love swirled in his mind. There was a feeling of pain and unwillingness when knowing the end of his struggle after Agus ended painfully like this.
The most painful and only thing he realized was that the most painful pain he felt turned out to be because of himself, he who gave himself hope to continue fighting as long as the yellow path had not arched. In the end, he fell very ill from his own expectations.
Iin shook his head, he was already too dizzy by forcing his brain to think more. But after thinking about everything, today he realized, it might be good to learn to let go of the uncertain and start thinking about and considering his father's request that was in sight.

Iin did not have an answer to his father's request to accept the arranged marriage that his father had planned in advance, even before he was born with his best friend and comrade Raidan Prosecutor Aditama.
His father's name was clearly not foreign. Raidan Prosecutor Aditama is a well-known company owner of Aditama Crop company, he often appears in various business magazines even Tv. Iin also had one day put forward a meeting schedule between Arza and Raidan, unfortunately at that time Iin could not participate in the meeting because he was sick.
Maybe for a meeting of cooperation submissions between Ragaskara company and Aditama company that should be attended he was able to avoid even though at that time he was eager to meet with a famous company figure such as Mr. Radian. But for tonight it seems that Iin is not able to avoid with various reasons. Because his father and his brother had warned - wanti and forced him to attend a dinner between two families.
And this is where Iin is, in a five-star Japanese restaurant along with his Father and Brother. They had just come and were currently being guided by the servant who led them to the private room on the second floor.
Perhaps if this was a casual meeting with his boss' co-worker, Iin would definitely be very happy what else when he found out their place of eating was a Japanese restaurant. Darling Iin is more worried and anxious even though this dinner meeting is only in the framework of friendship and reunion for his father and his father's best friend.
Iin embraced Keano's arm very tightly as the maid opened the door of the room that had been at the Aditama family's order. For the first time Iin felt very nervous, even though his work as a secretary sometimes made him look confident. But for tonight Iin sense, his confidence suddenly disappeared right now.

When they entered a private room in a very thick traditional Japanese style, a man the same age as his father welcomed the arrival of the three of them.
The man who still looks handsome despite his age has stepped on the 40s it takes them to his family who first came. There Iin can see a beautiful woman and a young man who still looks like a high school boy.
Wait, High School boy?
Really?
Don't tell me he'll be paired with Iin?!
Radian's wife named Kinanti Aditama who had seen a funny reaction and worried Iin who was still hugging Keano's arm was chuckling.
"Inggrid need not worry, Inggrid will not be in a match with Dipta kok, but the same Mas" said Kinan who somehow makes Iin feel very relieved.
"Ohiya, meet Aunt Kinanti Aditama. Call aunty Kinan aja, but if Ingrid already married his son aunt I should call mama yah" kinan said so gently that it made Iin hard to blink so he did not want to miss all the movements of the beautiful woman before him.
Iin took off his embrace on Keano's arm, and he greeted aunt Kinan and kissed the back of her hand before answering "Inggrid Bagaskara, aunt called Iin aja" after introducing himself, Iin thought the handshake between them would soon come off but in fact aunt Kinan pulled him and in the end he hit the body of aunt Kinan and unexpectedly aunt Kinan hugged him tightly.
Iin was obviously very surprised, but his shock did not last how long as his heart was touched and felt comfortable and warm in the arms of aunty Kinan.
"It turns out Iin is prettier than the one in the photo huh, Ma" said Radian approaching the two.
Kinanti took off her embrace and nodded in agreement "Kinan doesn't even believe Mas that Iin is this beautiful. Even though that day Kinan is a photo" replied Kinanti
"Photo?" Beo Iin was confused by what was discussed in the pair of husband and wife who looked very harmonious.
"Iin doesn't need to know" replied Kinanti who made Rega, Keano and her husband chuckle amusedly looking at Kinanti's childish behavior.
"Now we sit down, waiting for Dafa to come. He said he was already on the road, understand yes today he got the surgery schedule because" said Radian memperilahkan best friend and his best friend's son sitting.
After they all sat down, Radian only remembered that he had not introduced his youngest son.
"Ohiya, I forgot to introduce the youngest. His name is Radipta Jayaksa Aditama, Dipta let's share Om and bang Keano and mbak Iin" Radian orders on his youngest son.
Created by obediently obeying the command of his Father and saluting them all. After that Dipta returned to his chair, re-opened the book he read and continued his reading on appeal to chat with the parents.
"Hehehe sorry well mas Rega, Keano and Iin. Created his child is cold and quiet with new people, originally he is chatty and spoiled if he wants" said Kinanti gave an explanation to Rega, Keano and Iin so that the three are familiar with the attitude of their youngest son. The Creator who felt offended rolled his eyeballs lazily, then he resumed reading.
"No papa Kinan, we know" said Rega, who represented Keano and Iin.
Not long after, the chatter began to flow into the river. The chatter is dominated by Radian, Kinanti and Rega, where the three begin to reminisce about their past memories. While Iin and Keano were busy chatting about Keano's work as a police officer, just like Agus.
Iin's heart was throbbing pain, why in a time like this he had to remember the man who always gave him wounds and pain for his insensitivity to Iin's feelings. When Iin was pensive, the heavy voice of someone broke his daydream.
"I'm sorry I'm late" said the man who had just walked in wearing a Navi-colored shirt with one of his pans loose in the collar, combining his shirt with a pair of hakki-colored trousers.
Everyone turned to look at the man who had just arrived, not least with Iin who was barely drooling about the sight that made Iin not want to blink.
"Ah, here comes the firstborn. Radafian Jasaka Aditama"
