Marrying a Rich Bum

NOT MY SON

"All these are documents of proof of the transfer of shares on behalf of Hendra, and at the same time evidence of the game of transferring large amounts of funds to my personal account." Mariana answered steadily, her face still looking flat and cold.

Hendra glared, slowly the skin color on his face paled.

"Please see and prove it yourself. If you're still not sure of the truth, I'm bringing along people who might make you really believe what he's done."

"No! I didn't do it at all. He must have falsified my documents...."

Hendra's father raised his hand, stopped his son who had returned to his feet and shouted in wrath.

"Sit down! I'll prove the truth." Hendra's father said coldly and was very threatening. Hendra was instantly silent, sitting back slowly with a chaotic look.

Hendra's father took the documents on the table, started to examine them one by one. Then, slowly his body twisted, looking at Leo and Nico's father next to him. The three lowered their heads on the paper, discussing in a low voice.

Brak!

Hendra's father slammed the entire document back onto the table. His gaze shone a sharp glare, there was a great fury that he was trying to hold back with all his might within him.

"Uncle...." Mariana says hello. The man looked a little.

"No need to do that. Let us handle it. You're not young anymore to do that without the risk of you getting hurt."

The man beside Hendra shriveled in astonishment, staring at Mariana full of probes.

Mariana smiled. "I knew. But don't ask me how I know, because I can't explain it to you."

"Why?" ask the man in a low voice.

"Because I never knew the answer. I just know that I can, never know why I can do it.

The man nodded in understanding, then took a deep breath once more.

"Do what you want to do, Mariana."

"It's not me, Uncle. But Bima. Because the shares of the grandfather's company were bought by Four Trainer Group which is under the control of Bima."

"Four Trainer Group?" whispered Nico's father.

Mariana nodded.

"Leo Atlas?"

Mariana nodded back.

"Are you really Leo Atlas?" leo's father asked slowly, his tone decreasing drastically from the previous moments.

"Do you need proof?" tanya Bima flat.

Leo's father quickly shook his head. "No, Son. Not necessary. I really didn't ask for any evidence. I just...."

"Don't expect?" cut Mapala.

Leo's father gulped, not daring to nod.

"Do you think I'm also that easy to accept the fact that he's a mysterious man who has ruled the world business?" ask Mapala.

"Leo Atlas, The Glory. Two of the greatest business kings who ruled the world, but never appeared. Who would have guessed that both of them were actually sons and fathers."

Bima looked at Mapala, staring in shock.

"The Glory. It was the three grandfathers who created this whole mess."

"Three grandfathers?!" sergeant Leo and Nico together.

Mapala and Mariana nodded.

"George Sasmita, Leonardo Sandiago, Jeremy Silas. The GLoRy." Mariana explained calmly.

Several faces formed a look of understanding very quickly before nodding at each other.

"So... do you still want to question the validity of the purchase of shares owned by grandfather?" Bima returned to the original topic.

All heads looked up, staring at Bima with respectful gazes.

"As the eldest son of Grandfather, I represent the whole family apologizing to Mr. Leo Atlas for our disrespect. Please you do not destroy and take over the entire Sasmita company." Hendra's father knelt down, bowing deeply before Bima.

Bima stood up, lowered her head, grabbed her uncle's arm and pulled him up. "Stand, Uncle. You are the descendants of Glory. Don't make yourself that low and beautiful in front of me." Bima reminded.

"I'll never make trouble, with someone who doesn't bother me. Remember that a lion never feels the need to show that he is a beast. But try to act in front of him, then he'll pounce on you roundly."

All heads bowed deeply, no one dared to answer.

"I will never destroy your company. But I will take over his leadership. The shares I hold, of course, will be named after my wife, and Mapala. And I'm going to overhaul the entire executive order at the company, under Mapala's leadership, because my wife already owns another company."

Some heads nodded reluctantly, except for Hendra.

"One more, Uncle. I'm really sorry to you, I had to take Hendra off the company, because he's been a rotten caterpillar that's been gnawing at the pace of the economy."

"Do your best for the company, Bima." Hendra's father nodded confidently.

"But, dad!"

"Your punishment with dad is not over yet, Hendra."

Brak!

Everyone turned their backs in surprise as Mariana and Mapala lunged into and simultaneously.

"I've told you you can't think of anything without us knowing your bad intentions, Breng*ek!" mapala shouted, pulling the gun from Hendra's butt.

Hendra paled, with Mariana's leg pressing against his neck.

"What are you guys doing. Marianas! Th-that could kill him." Mariana and Mapala's father stood up, approaching hesitantly.

"What?!"

"The rodent mouse in our family is actually Hendra. He is even worse than Galang, because without any grudge against the family, he has had the intention to destroy our family and take control of the company. If Uncle allows it, let him be my and Bima's business."

Hendra's father, with a reddened face holding back his almost exploding anger, nodded in approval.

"Urus him. This is how I raise a child who is not my own flesh and blood!" replied Hendra's father, with a low growl.

"Uncle...."

"Dad...."

"Sister...."

Hendra's father took a deep breath, exhaling it slowly.

"Yes. It's all my fault. Baby Keyla was not saved. She died in Keyla's womb a few hours before she was born. What causes it, I never know and never try to figure it out."

Silent. Everyone froze, including Mariana and Mapala who immediately looked down at Hendra who was under Mariana's feet.

"Hendra was born without a mother. The nurse at the hospital was horrendous with the escape of Hendra's parents by abandoning his son."

The little breath of Hendra's mother sounded very loud, making heads turn to her.

"Keyla is in poor health after giving birth. I don't want to make her condition worse by the death of her son. So I asked them to exchange my dead baby for a baby that their parents left behind."

Almost everyone present held their breath.

Mariana closed her eyes, her head lowered as if looking at Hendra.

"Ooh!" Mariana shrieked, holding her head with both hands.

"Madine!" Bima grabbed Mariana's limp body, bringing her back to sit down.

"What's up, Mariana?" ask Bima worriedly.

"Yes. I couldn't see it because all this time Hendra knew Uncle and Aunt were his father and mother. That's why this little detail was missed by me" replied Mariana.

"Do you know who Hendra's parents are?" ask Uncle Mariana.

Mariana nodded.

Everything froze, waiting.

Mariana shook her head small.

"Say, Mariana. Because I'm going to send him back to his parents. I raised him, and let the parents who gave birth to him now be responsible for the ingrained nature of this child."

"Dad.." whispered Hendra.

"Never call me dad again."

Hendra who had been sitting down, looked down lethargic.

"alright. Then tell me who my parents are, Mariana."

"You can't do anything to her, Hendra!" hiss Mariana.

"That's my right. I'm not bothering your family, anyway" replied Hendra coldly.

"You son of Hortensia, with...."

Frozen. Silent. Tensional.

"Thompson."

"Thompson?!"

Mariana nodded.

"But...."

"I never knew. Because Thompson also never knew he had a son. Hortensia takes Sarah home as her baby, and leaves Hendra in the hospital. Hendra and Sarah, twins."

Bima stood up suddenly, prepared to go out and look for Thompson in the hospital.

"Stop!" Hendra stood up quickly, holding back Bima's steps.

"I know who Sarah is. I sent him to incite Mariana to leave you, for Galang's information. I'll meet them."

Bima intends to prevent, but Mariana holds him back. Bima.

"Let. He won't do anything. She loves Sarah."

Bima frowned.

"Dad, Mother...." Hendra's mother, who had tears in her eyes, looked up at her son.

"Thank you for raising me and caring for me so lovingly. Sorry to disappoint you. I'm sorry I never got to be what you guys expected. I'm goin. And I promise I won't bother your family again."

Then Hendra turned around, walked away.

Hendra's mother's cries broke instantly, but without her husband's permission, she did not dare to leave her place to pursue her only son.

"Marina...."

"Sarah will heal. They'll be happy. Sarah.. conceiving Hendra's son."

All eyes widened, staring in shock at the last information carried by Mariana.
