Chapter 6
Cristian Pov
Today I returned to my homeland. In addition to orders from grandparents I have to go back. My grandfather and grandmother wanted me to take over all of their companies.
Since the death of papa and mama, due to a single accident.I was asked to continue my studies abroad. And I prefer New York as my destination.
I've been in New York for five years, and I've been there. Because there I was free to have my relationship with Casandra.
After landing on an international flight I waited for our family driver, Mr. Parman. The one on duty to pick me up. And I asked him to drive me to the farm.
Without having to wait to come to our main house. The palace built papa and mama, after success with their first company. Desas desus I heard that there was sabotage behind the accident to two of my parents.
I used to be just a little boy who still hasn't taken the news seriously. As time goes by the sloping news also disappears by itself.
Not felt, the time has shown at ten o'clock in the night, I arrived at the farm house of my favorite grandparents. Inside this room, the ones commonly used by grandparents receive important guests. I'm welcome to sit down.
"What do you mean grandma and grandpa told me to go back to Indonesia?" I'm straight on our subject.
I can't think clearly, other than having to listen to my grandparents' reasons for telling me to go back to Indonesia. I called my grandmother when I was in New York. My grandfather and grandmother were trying to match me to a girl.
The last girl I knew turned out to be an art in their house.
Not only the maid, the girl was also illiterate. He who does not know letters is betrothed to me an heir to my grandfather's famous business empire for decades.
What would the grandfather's business colleague say if I properly obeyed the wishes of my grandfather and grandmother. No I won't approve it .I will use any excuse to avoid their wishes.
Grandpa and grandma raised me with my brother Margaret. Both of them have been our parents' surrogates since my mom and dad died in a single accident. When I was five years old my brother Margaret was eight.
Luckily, my brother and I were being kept in the house of grandparents and me, so we didn't become victims like our parents. Since that incident, we both considered grandparents to be our fathers and mothers.
We grew up in their loving hands. The two never numbered our duos. All our needs are met.
I continued my education to New York, while Margaret's sister after finishing college preferred to take care of our grandparents who became our two favorite people.
"Don't resist Cristian's grandfather and grandmother's decision, this is already the grandfather and grandmother's wish and you can't refuse it."
All the words of grandfather, must be fulfilled. Whatever the reason he did not care.Once he said what he wanted, then it happened as he wanted. Great right?
"You know that grandfather doesn't like to be disputed the most."
"So from now on prepare yourself, don't let you disappoint grandfather."
"If you don't accept this match, I'll give it to others my inheritance."
Oh no, I can only lament my fate at this moment. What about my relationship with Casandra that has been in place for five years?
I don't want to lose both.
I was sitting on the couch in this room.
A moment later what I thought was not what it was. When the girl who said she was illiterate came into this room.
Tok tok tok tok
The sound of the door of this room is knocked from outside. Tap the door from outside this room, pausing my conversation with my grandfather and grandmother.
"Who?"
"I'm the mistress, Mala."
"Come in."
I don't know what's going on, in my heart it's pounding.
The skin is smooth white like cotton.
Its appearance is beautiful and graceful in its simplicity. Who would have thought, it turns out this is the girl who wants to be betrothed to me.
If only I could not regain control of the situation I would really be amazed to see this girl in front of me.
Until grandma's voice surprised me.
"Mirror..."
"Cristian." Even the soft voice of Grandma reawakened my consciousness for a moment.
"I am yes, Grandma" I answered my grandmother's call.
"Greet Mala"
"H ha ha ha, hi,..." I slightly say that word.
"My name is Cristian." I also stretched out my hand to shake.
"My name is Mala sir." A little nervous she welcomed my hand.
There was a subtle swish in my heart as my hand came into contact with her hand.
"Ehem." Grandma Deheman shocked me and sat back in the right position.
I then brushed off his hand. I don't want to be fooled by her beauty.
More precisely not wanting to be tempted by her beauty, I already have Casandra in my heart.
My love for Casandra is really pure a feeling called love.
Grandma's mysterious smile can't be interpreted.
When the girl left the room where we were sitting.
"How's it?" Grandma seemed to be starting to get suspicious with my gaze on the girl who had just passed by.
"How's grandma?"
"That girl managed to steal your heart at first sight right?"
"Where maybe grandma, I still don't want a boyfriend. It's my decision."
"All right, we'll see what it's going to look like. Only time can answer everything."
"Where might I like an illiterate maid girl." I tried to deny the feeling that was stirring in my heart.
Grandpa and Grandma said she could read and write. Taught by professional teachers of business development science. Where he will be entrusted to manage our family-owned farm.
"Arrggghhhh," I'm really frustrated. The illiterate are illiterate. Moreover, she's not my dream type of girl..
Most importantly I still have a boyfriend in New York. Besides being beautiful, she is also classy. His education is on par with mine. Cassandra, I still have my heart for her.
We have planned our future. Intentionally after my graduation last year, I don't want to go straight back to this country.
I'd rather hang in there. While looking for experience in work. And wait for Casandra's graduation time is over.
I have to make sense, let that illiterate girl get out of our lives. As time goes on I will persuade my grandparents to bless my relationship with my beloved heart.
Hopefully, grandparents want to reconsider their decisions that seem too far-fetched.
