Pearl POv
Dad was indeed the greatest person in my life, I always thought of him as a role model. Every word that comes out of his mouth is a command to me. Never once did I dare to fight or refute him, because I knew whatever Dad did was for my own good.
But now that my father is gone, he leaves me alone with no one. I don't know how fate will bring my footsteps. The world is cruel, letting a teenage girl like me lose the light of life.
Although the Aerospace family never left myself, I was still a stranger to them. I can only pray to the Creator to give a ray of hope to the happy path, even if it is very small
Aerospace Residence
*deg
My heart was pounding as the car I was riding in drove through the towering gate to the top that was greeted by some security. This is not the first time I have come into a house that is like a palace owned by a large Aerospace family, even I often spend my free time just to help the work that is in this house. But this time when I come for something very different, I will stay with them either until when?? And maybe forever until the end of my last breath.
"Pearl, we've arrived son. Let's go down" take Meisya's mother, the wife of the father's master, Bayu Ahmad Dirgantara.
I nodded doubtfully, my heart engulfed in intense fear. What will be the response from the people who live in this house?? They will surely scoff at the meaning of my arrival.
"Pearl, you don't have to worry, son!! everything will be fine" said the Great Lord trying to convince my heart.
"I'm just afraid they won't like my presence, sir" I said
"Be assured they will remain the same with you, even though the situation will soon change" the big lady said.
I could only sigh deeply, hoping that what the Great Mistress said was true. They'll still act the same to me even if things change later.
"Let's go in" the big lady asked.
I set foot with a heavy heart, there was no other choice but to accept it. It's been a decision I've taken before, there's no turning back.
"Father..mami"
A girl of my age appeared to give a very warm welcome to the Master and Madam.
"Pearls... Elo??" he tweeted when he saw me coming with a suitcase.
"Dear dear, from now on Pearls will stay with us. You know he's just a kara now??" timpal the great lord.
"Gue is so sorry, Pearl. Sorry can not come to the funeral Mr. Surya, I'm not feeling well anymore" said the girl.
"It's okay, Non. I can understand and hopefully non Elvina can be quick
healed" I replied.
Elvina Ayu Dirgantara, she is the youngest and only daughter in the Aerospace family. He is indeed the same age as me, even we are a class in Aerospace High School. Elvina is a jovial and agile girl, she is easy to get along with anyone without distinguishing her social status.
"Let's go inside, I'm happy if you want to stay here!! I have the ability to do everything" he tweeted again
"Thank you non" I said
"Don't call Non anymore!! tell me a friend" protested Elvina.
"Yes non.. uh. sorry... Elvina" lirihku again.
The Master and Madam smiled, I'm a little relieved. It's just that my heart is still racing, imagining how everyone reacts when they find out about the wishes of his father's employer.
"Mommy, can I sleep in the room with a Pearl??" ask Elvina later.
"Must dong darling" replied the great madam.
"Thank you so much, dear mama... Come on Pearl us to my room" Elvina pulled me to go inside her room.

At the intersection to Elvina's room on the 2nd floor, right after climbing the stairs. We met a young man. Older than me and Elvina, he was the eldest son of the Aerospace family. His attitude seemed indifferent and indifferent, he did not even glance at or see the arrival of others. You could say it was very cold.
"Sister" call Elvina
"Hm"
"Where are you going??" ask Elvina again
"You go to the office, you go where else" he answered flatly still looks focused on his phone.
"Oh.. Then happy work"
"Hmmm"
The man finally turned his head to look at his sister then I. Long enough and
Deg
My heart was beating rapidly, the gaze as if it contained a meaning that was hard to interpret. It was so sharp and contained such great hatred. I was a little scared then chose to bow my head.
"He's my best friend, don't look at him!! do not pity his son until he looked down because of fear" protested Elvina
"Come Pearls, don't mind him!! it was like that, Brother Gilang, cold as a lot of ice cubes" chirped Elvina pulled me away from the brother.
The man was none other than Alvian Gilang Pratama, the eldest son of the Aerospace family. I've seen him a lot since the last 1 year, but never once before greeting or face to face with him.
Maybe because he had a different nature to the others, more reserved and cold. He looks very indifferent to the surrounding environment, so many people feel reluctant and reluctant to invite him to talk.

Gilang used to be nothing like this. He is a kind-hearted and sincere man, especially to women.
But after he went to America to go to college there, Gilang's attitude changed drastically. He hated the women. According to Gilang, women in this world are the same. They're all crazy about money and possessions. And all of that can happen because he was hurt by a girl.
In America, Gilang once fell in love with a little girl who was the same age as her sister, Elvina. The girl was very beautiful and energetic. They were in a relationship for three years there, Gilang loved her lover so much that he was willing to do anything to make her happy. But still it could not make their relationship last, Gilang was forced to decide the girl because it had done nothing wrong with other men. Gilang's heart really hurt and since then he has always closed his heart to all women. For Gilang now women are just friends to play around and satisfy desire when they want it. And he thinks it's a normal thing for any man.
But not for the two Gilang parents, they had already heard how their son's free-living behavior during his stay in America. Of course there is a considerable sense of disappointment so that after Gilang successfully completed the S2 MBA at Columbia University, they asked Gilang to immediately return to Indonesia and jump directly into holding the family business.
Silang personal sich does not mind at all, after all Indonesia and America remain the same. He can live as he wishes. No one can control and control it. Including her own two parents. The principle of Silang is only one, living in its own way and not distressing to others.
And as their wishes, now Gilang has returned to Indonesia and jumped directly to help control the family business. Everything was going well, even the company he held was growing by leaps and bounds. Because of that, Mr. Bayu felt very happy and proud of the achievements of his eldest son.
It's just that there is one problem that always disturbs Gilang's mind is the desire of his mother. Meisya's mother wants to find a girl to be betrothed to Gilang.
Married...??
Gilang can't even believe in a creature whose name is a woman. Is it possible that he can fulfill the wishes of his mother? Is there a woman in this world as kind-hearted as her mother??I don't know... Gilang himself is not sure if he can do all this or not.
Especially after he was reunited with the girl, Gilang's heart felt increasingly tight and sick. He looked at the girl with a hateful look.
And the girl just stood there and stood still as if she was holding back the excess fear. Naturally he was afraid, the mistake he made was fatal and Gilang had already vowed not to forgive him.
"He's my best friend, don't look at him!! do not pity her son until he looked down because of fear" protested Elvina when she found out I was giving a look of intimidation to the girl.
"Come Pearls, don't mind him! it was like that, sister Gilang, cold as a lot of ice cubes" chirped Elvina pulled her hand to leave me in a state of agitation.
A pearl?? since when was he called by the name of Pearl?? Did he deliberately change his name to remove the negative aura that was already inherent in him in order to hook and deceive other unclean men???
"Ck..the basis of the girl jal***, it is possible to do this kind of inferiority in the search for a prey!! I will not stay silent if you want to play with this family" said Gilang.
Gilang clenched both hands until one of them squeezed out the cellphone he was holding at this time.

"Say, where are you going??" meisya's mother asked her eldest son.
"I have to go to Mi's office immediately, what's wrong??" reply Gilang
"Mommy wants to talk to you for a minute, this is very important" said Ms. Meisya.
Gilang scrunched his forehead, he sure is not far from the problem about the prospective companion. Basic mama... never feel bored or tired in the slightest in looking for a mate for him.
"Speaking problems let alone sich... Mi?? don't tell me about the escort anymore??" crossbeam
Ms. Meisya smiled to herself, what her son said is indeed true. But the difference this time he has found a candidate who is really fit for Gilang.
"It's true that this is about your life companion, but this time there is a candidate" said Ms. Meisya.
"Mami mean??" Gilang squinted both of his eyebrows.
"You should sit down first!! let it be good to talk about it" Meisya ma'am excitedly.
Gilang can only grunt rudely, inevitably he obeyed the will of his mother.
"Gilang, papi sama mami has agreed to match you with the daughter of alm. pak Surya our family's personal driver" Ms. Meisya began to speak seriously.
"What Mi??" Gilang.
"Don't tell me, sir Surya died because he saved your papi's life. Now that his daughter lives a kara, papi you intend to return the favor to the deceased. That's why we want you to marry the daughter of the deceased so that we can always look after and protect the girl" explained Ms. Meisya.
"It really doesn't make any sense Mi. That's fine, but that doesn't mean I have to marry a girl I've never met" Gilang protested.
"We can give the girl a place to live, a proper education and meet all her needs and I think that's more than enough without having to marry her" Gilang continued
Ms. Meisya was speechless, she looked at her son with a disappointed feeling. I don't know what turned his son into this kind of haughty and arrogant man. Whether free life in America had killed his son's instincts.
"You're right Gilang, we can do it all for him but can you be sure that after that he will find a better life, a good companion and a good future. Can you make sure of all that?" tanya Meisya made Gilang can only be silent sculpting.
Alm. pak Surya has indeed contributed greatly to the life of the Aerospace family. All the devotion and loyalty ever given by the deceased can not be reciprocated with money or property, Gilang is very aware of it. But... does he have to marry the girl?? he just doesn't want to have a serious relationship with any woman.
"Mommy doesn't want to know. You must remain married to Mutiara, the son of Alm. sir Surya!!" asserted Ms. Meisya, she left her son alone.
Again Gilang was shocked when he heard the name Pearl mentioned by his mother.
That girl can't be the son of the late Mr Surya?? How can a driver's child attend Trinity School in the US?? this must be wrong, who is the real Pearl.
Gilang wanted to find out about it, he did not want to take the wrong step.
When he got out of his chair, he left the house feeling confused and confused.
