Adrian smiled when he saw his watch. Yes, it's office time. Adrian immediately cleared his desk and intended to approach Aya.
On the other hand, Aya is now ready to go home. He didn't want Adrian to drive him home. He did not want Fany to suddenly come and insult him again.
Aya knows she is not as pretty as her friends in the office. And he doesn't want to get into any more trouble either.
Aya walked quickly to the parking lot. He immediately entered the taxi he ordered.
In the taxi, Aya turned back to see if Adrian saw it or not. Aya also breathed a sigh of relief because she did not see Adrian there.
"Luckily," he said stroking his chest.
"I'm sorry, Iyan, you don't deserve to be friends with me. You're the perfect man, and I'm just an Ascensioner who doesn't deserve to be friends with anyone." Aya muttered with her tears that began to drip.
But Aya immediately wiped her tears. He does not want when he comes home later his eyes even look swollen.
Aya did not want her father to know about all the problems about her. Aya always lied to her father that she had many friends.
But in reality it was just to cover up so that the father would not worry too much about him.
The taxi is now in the courtyard of Aya's house. A page that is not too broad but can still park two cars.
"Thank you sir, I already paid for it to the application, sir" Aya told the taxi driver.
"Yes, thank you." Speak to the taxi driver and get out of there.
Aya frowned when she saw a luxurious car parked in her yard.
"Do you have any guests?, but who?. I know you never had a friend who owned a car." He muttered to himself.
Aya immediately set her foot towards her simple house.
"Assalamu'alaikum father, Aya came home," he said as usual every Aya went home to work.
"Waalaikumsalam" the father replied in another voice.
Aya saw in the living room there was someone so familiar in her view. He's a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man also smiled looking at Aya who was pecking at her place.
The father who saw his daughter was even dumbfounded finally approached her.
"Son, are you okay?" asked the father, who was by his side.
Aya suddenly woke up, then she smiled at her father and kissed his hand.
"So this is your daughter you're telling me is Hendra?."
The middle-aged man's voice made Aya and Hendra's father turn towards him.
Hendra seemed to breathe out a long breath. Then he began to introduce Aya with the middle-aged man.
"Yes, she's my daughter, sir," said Hendra.
"Yes, meet him is Mr. Bagaskara, the owner of the company where the father works," Hendra said later.
Aya knew the middle-aged man was Mr. Bagaskara. The largest company in Asia. Because Mr. Bagaskara's picture is on the front page of a business magazine.
But what makes Aya confused is, why Mr. Bagaskara would bother to come to his simple house.
Aya smiled, then she greeted Mr. Bagaskara.
"Good afternoon Sir," said Aya smiling kindly.
"Aya Sore. You must be wondering why I came here right?. Sit down, I'll explain it to you" said Mr. Bagaskara.
Suddenly Aya felt something strange when she saw the father who looked so sad.
Aya sat herself beside her father.
"I don't want to beat around you guys. Aya, did you know that your father owed my company a lot of money a few years ago?" asked Bagaskara.
Aya was surprised to know something she never knew.
"I-I mean you owe me what sir," said Aya very surprised. Because the father never said anything about the debt said by Mr. Bagaskara.
"You can ask your father directly."
Aya also looked towards the father who looked down. Hendra rubbed his face.
"Is that really what Mr. Bagaskara said?," asked Aya trying to find answers from his father.
Hendra closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, then He nodded his head in an omen confirming Mr. Bagaskara's words.
Aya wiped away her tears, but she immediately wiped them. In his eyes was again Mr. Bagaskara.
"How much does my father owe you, sir?, I will pay for it" said Aya.
"Are you sure you can repay all the debts your father borrowed from Aya?."
"Even if the money I have is not enough, but I will pay it in installments Mr."
"Well, your father owed my company seven hundred million, are you willing to pay it?."
Aya is surprised to learn the amount of loan the father has on Mr. Bagaskara's company. His savings amounted to only a hundred million. Where should he look for his shortcomings?.
"I'll pay him a hundred million first Sir, the rest I'll pay for" said Aya trying to bargain.
"Sorry Aya, but I want you to pay for it entirely. Because my company is not a savings and loan company." Bagaskara.
Now Aya really felt confused to find a shortage that is very much.
Looking at the puzzled look Aya Bagaskara smiled smirked. Now is the time to make a deal with Aya.
"I have a solution so that all your father's debt to my company is eliminated Aya," said Bagaskara made Aya immediately turn to the direction of Mr. Bagaskara.
"You mean Sir?."
Aya boughtak heard the words of Mr. Bagaskara which he thought was a joke.
"Master, you didn't mean it, did you?. Where could you possibly have told me to marry your son. There should have been you telling me to work at your company without a paycheck." Say Aya who does not believe.
"I'm not kidding Aya. Now you have to choose. Marry my son, or do you see your father in prison?!," threatened Mr. Bagaskara.
Aya was surprised, now Mr. Bagaskara even threatened and cornered him.
"But Sir, are you not mistaken in making me your son-in-law?. While I also don't know who your son is."
"No, and you should marry my son!. I'll give you time to think about it Aya. But I still don't accept rejection!."
"How about this, what should I do?!. I don't want to marry his son. I don't know her nor do I love her" Aya said in her heart. He truly feels worried at this moment.
On the one hand he did not want to get married, but on the other he did not want his father in prison because of his debts.
"You think carefully, Aya. I'll give you one week. Then excuse me Aya, Mr. Hendra," said Mr. Bagaskara who began to move from there.
***
Several days passed, but Aya still did not decide to accept a proposal from Mr. Bagaskara to marry his son.
Until now he daydreams at his simple dining table.
The father who also headed to the dining table looked at his daughter who looked dreamy. Hendra felt very guilty to his daughter for having to marry the son of Mr. Bagaskara.
Yesterday after Mr. Bagaskara's departure, Hendra told me why he owed Mr. Bagaskara a lot of money.
"Son," call the father to make Aya's daydreams disappear instantly.
"Yes, yeah" he smiled and looked at his father and covered his heart.
Hendra sat down beside Aya and rubbed his daughter's head.
"Dad knows you don't want this wedding, son.
You don't have to marry Mr. Bagaskara's son, just leave me in jail son. I don't want to see you sad" Hendra said, shedding tears.
Aya shook her head in a sign of disapproving of the father's words.
"No, I'm even sadder to see you have to be in jail."
But suddenly Hendra felt his chest was so tight and felt a terrible pain. He held his chest, a second later his body fell to the floor.
And that immediately made Aya shocked and panicked.
"Dad... Dad why?... Wake up..." He said while shaking his father's body. He immediately ran outside to seek help from his neighbors.
And luckily his neighbors were good people and immediately took his father's body to the hospital.
***
The doctor came out after examining Hendra. Aya who saw him immediately stood up and asked about his father's situation. Her tears just kept flowing.
"How's my dad Doc?" asked Aya.
"Miss, your father should be in surgery soon. If it cannot risk its life. Please sign the letter of approval and pay for its administration." Say the doctor and get out of there.
Aya sculpts, he must quickly save the life of the father. Because it was only his father that he had right now.
Confused about where to look for costs. Because of course the cost will be very much. And at that moment all that came to his mind was Mr. Bagaskara.
Aya immediately left the hospital heading to Mr. Bagaskara's company.
***
Without hesitation Aya signed the agreement letter that Mr. Bagaskara gave him.
In the letter of the agreement, Aya must marry her son next Sunday. And one more thing Aya had to do. It has to change its appearance.
"All right, I'll pay for your father's entire operation. But from now on you'll have to live in the apartment I've prepared for you.
"But, what about my father Sir?, I have to take care of my father." Aya Protest.
"You don't have to worry, because I'll pay a special nurse to take care of your father. And you'll have to obey my orders later!."
Inevitably Aya had to obey Mr. Bagaskara's orders, because he had already signed the deal.
"Alright sir," said Aya lowered her head.
"From now on don't call me Sir. Call me Papa, for soon you will be my son-in-law" said Mr. Bagaskara suddenly softened.
Aya was surprised and looked at Mr. Bagaskara who was smiling at him.
"Say!"
"Be-good Papa," said Aya stammered.
"Smart girl, from now on you have to change your own destiny, son. And I will help you" said Mr. Bagaskara steadily.
***
Aya looked at herself in front of the mirror, really she did not believe that the girl in the mirror reflection was herself.
Mr. Bagaskara who saw him smiled with satisfaction.
"You're a very pretty girl Aya, and you deserve to be my daughter-in-law. Bryan Askara's wife" said Bagaskara, causing Aya to widen her eyes.
"What?, so my future husband will be Bryan Askara, the man I hate so much?" Aya said in his heart.
His hands began to clench in memory of the humiliation Bryan had committed back then. Aya swore revenge on those who had insulted her first, especially Bryan's future husband.
