Marrying a Rich Bum

INAUGURATION

Mariana stood in front of the mirror, staring at her increasingly protruding belly behind the black short dress covered in a light brown coat.

"You are beautiful" whispered Bima, tidying up Mariana's dark brown wavy hair.

"But my stomach is distended."

Bima smiled, hugged Mariana's waist from behind and stroked her stomach.

"of course. Inside was a tiny baby growing. You need to give her some free space to move around, because that's why your stomach is enlarged."

Mariana smiled back, returning Bima's gaze to the mirror. Then he turned around, hugging Bima's neck. Her eyes scanned Mariana's body parts from top to bottom.

"You're also very handsome today."

"Didn't I promise not to embarrass my wife?"

Mariana smiled.

"If it wasn't for this shirt of your choice, I wouldn't be this handsome either" whispered Bima, pinning the tip of Mariana's nose.

Mariana chuckles.

"The clothes are nothing. You even picked the cheapest. But so dashing it stuck to your body."

"That's it. Time is getting noon. Do you want to admire me handsome until the afternoon or are we leaving now?" Bima kissed Mariana's forehead.

"alright. Let's go, Handsome. And surprise everyone who was there."

Bima drove slowly in the parking lot, past the few eyes that were staring at her in awe and headed straight for the VIP parking lot.

"See. Everyone's staring at us because of this car." Mariana protested, her cheeks looking slightly flushed.

"I represent my friend and he is in the ranks of the 10 richest people in the world, Mariana. Where would he take off his representative to ride in the junkyard."

"Just boy. The car you bought wasn't a wreckage car!"

"For us it's the greatest, but for a guy like my friend who's used to riding buggati, it's junk, Mariana."

Mariana pouting.

Seeing the billion-dollar car parked in the VIP position, Leo, Nathan and Hendra stopped, his third eye glared to the point of almost letting go. They waited with their hearts pounding, wanting to know who was coming down from there.

"Maybe it's the director" whispered Nathan. Both his brothers nodded.

The front door is open, the legs level wrapped in hills know 6cm look down the car followed by a graceful body behind a long coat limited to the knee.

"Female director?" Leo. His cross-eyes were instantly filled with fantasy.

"Right watch, fool! He's riding on the front bench. Any director of a company of this size would be willing to sit next to the driver."

"I guess she's the director's wife who brought her own luxury car without a driver. Somewhat else he seems to be."

Leo scratched his jaw which suddenly felt like scratching even though it was not itchy, his face was grinning with horses.

"Damn it! Put it on the bag lid all the way to his face!" Nathan exclaimed stifled.

"Glow, bego. Maybe he doesn't have sunglasses."

"Sst, look. Why am I no stranger to that man's face?" hendra asked, pointing to a couple who had just gotten out of the car, using her chin.

"Ah, time."

"Note to. I seem to know him."

"I can't recognize him. His black glasses disguised his face."

"Let's approach them and greet them." Leo walked forward first, leaving his two brothers who soon followed behind.

Six steps before reaching his second place, the presence of six bodyguards that directly surrounded them made Hendra, Noah and Leo impossible to walk any closer.

"Oh, shit!" as for Hendra, he stared disappointedly at the young CEO who walked surrounded by bodyguards and disappeared behind the VIP entrance.

Hendra, Leo and Noah walked towards the door for the invited guests, queuing in like the mothers in the market, before they could finally sit on the chairs covered in white cloth with gold ribbons.

Hendra, Leo and Nathan stood up and bowed low many times as they met up-and-coming businessmen. They also saw their father and mother walk in in a fancy suit and dress, walking and sitting in the front row seats, right in front of a luxurious sofa sofa reserved for corporate executives.

"Well, Uncle." Leo stood up, greeting the couple who had just walked past the three of them. The man stopped, looking.

"Well, Leo. Sure oes. Noel and Hendra too?" Edi Sasmita, Papa Mariana, returned the hand of Hendra and his two other cousins.

Sasmita waved his hands lazily. "Don't talk about him at a special event like this. His name was a complete ruin, "sasmita grumbled with annoyance, and the man continued walking, followed by the woman who had smiled, now his face turned grim to hear his son's name mentioned.

"If only you weren't so hard on...."

"Stop talking about it or we better get home!" Sasmita cut off his wife's soft words, making the woman immediately close her lips tightly.

Fifteen minutes later, at exactly 10:00 as shown on the invitation, a middle-aged man was wearing a dark blue suit with well-combed, jet-black hair, walking out with a very graceful woman behind a matching kebaya. Her hair was bun at the nape, already like flight attendants.

The dedicated handsome man smiled, nodding to the entire audience before speaking to the microphone in his hand.

"Good day, everyone. A big thank you to all the happy guests who took the time to attend the event...."

"The inauguration of Paka Lea Land," the two shouted excitedly. Applause echoed throughout the area, welcoming the host's friendly greeting.

"Okay, thank you. And before this event is officially open, please allow me to ask you to stand for a moment to honor our invited guests who will occupy the place that has been provided. We invite guests to enter the inauguration area."

The entire audience simultaneously stood up, while the two hosts lowered their heads slightly to pay their respects to all the invited guests who entered the area. There were approximately fifteen people, walking straight in front of each other's partners.

Twenty minutes of the opening event, the peak event was ribbon cutting. All attended stood, frozen in place waiting for the gold ribbon in front of them cut and lowered a wide cloth that covered the main entrance of the tourist attraction area that was inaugurated.

"We invite Mr. Edgar Wildhead of the WH Corporation to go up to the stage bag."

The wide-bodied man with completely grayed hair stood up from the armchair at the front and walked up.

"Next, Mrs Antony Abbot of PT Nilam Wijaya."

"Lord Jaya Wijaya of PT Indocakra."

And next.

And next.

Till....

"Mrs Mariana Sandiago, CEO of PT MBC who has been rocking our small town for a few days with the big news that it brings." The sound of prickly shoes was heard in almost all corners of the inauguration area, almost all company executives know Mariana is the CEO who has been dumped by her family because of a scandal she made with a poor homeless man who has no home.

"That's Mariana Sandiago, not Mariana Sasmita."

"But he's married. She could've used her husband's last name."

"What's the name of that bum?"

Noel shrugged his shoulders.

"I can't see it. Which one is it?" hiss Leo, whispering among the other prickly shoes.

"Together with Mr. Bimantara Sandiago, as a representative of PT MBC's parent PT FMCG, it is not a coincidence that he will also lead the procession of cutting the ribbon that we will do." The host shouted back.

"To Mr and Mrs Sandiago, please take the position."

As if Harry Potter's silencio spell had been uttered, the entire audience was silent for a moment. The gemersik vanished. Not a single sound was heard until the knocking sound of the shoes of the bodyguards approaching Bima and Mariana could be heard clearly even by the guards standing at the entrance of the inauguration area.

Bima helps Mariana stand up. The two look harmonious behind a dark and light coat and coat, as if the two complement each other.

Bodyguard gave way, Bima walked slowly while holding Mariana's arm, climbing the low stairs to the podium. While Mariana was walking quietly in arms with Bima, her head looked up. Although her stomach was bulging, but Mariana's grace and prestige did not diminish in the slightest from her face.

"M-s.mar-maria.na Sandiago." Edi Sasmita stammered, his gaze fixed on the pair of men and women who were now walking confidently into the middle position of the row.

No exception Hendra, Leo, Noel, and their father who froze like ice sculptures in their respective places.

"When*******it works there. W-why could he suddenly become the CEO of a giant company like MBC." Hendra spoke with a face that was still glaring in disbelief.

"Remind me if I'm wrong. But, weren't they the couple that got off the shiny black buggati car just now?" leo asked, still staring in disbelief at the two people who were now smiling at the front, staring directly at them.

"No. I don't think you're wrong. I remember her face and the glasses she was wearing. And is he really Bima? Why won't he take his glasses off?" timpal Noel, looking at Bima who was still wearing square sunglasses with a yellow gold frame.

"He must not have been that bima. Definitely not!" hiss Hendra. "****** it must have deliberately hired a man to show us he was better. So ridiculous. I don't even remember the man's last name Sandiago."

"But that looks like it's going to be a little hard to do, Hen. If only to find a husband to replace it, it might be easy. But lobbying to be able to stand in the middle there." Noel's words hung.

"Are you guys starting to doubt my analysis?" asked Hendra growled.

"It's not about finances, man. It's life." Leo answered flatly, his eyes looking astonishedly ahead.

"If you don't believe me, I'll prove it right now. The face behind those sunglasses, I'm sure she's not Bima!"

Before his two brothers could prevent him, Hendra had already slid away, walking quickly closer to the podium where officials of giant corporations across the city were preparing to cut the ribbon.
