“Here, Nov?" ask Andra while stepping into a famous restaurant. Earlier, after attending a product launching event and then went to attend the fiancee of one of the state officials who had been in good relations with his family. Andra then went to meet the request of one of the employees who had just after the office invited her to meet.
Although Andra should have another agenda but as a form of integrity in making promises, he asked Novi to give the address to the driver and bring them to this place.
“Yes sir, this is correct!" Novi answered steadily after checking the address already given by the person who wanted to meet Andra.
They stepped into the reserved room.
“It seems important until reserved gini."
Andra only caught a glimpse of Novi's words after filling the guest list and Andra just followed from behind. When they finished, they were led to a special room.
“Please enter." Restaurant staff escorted them to the room in question.
The door opened, Novi let Andra enter first and then he followed after.
Once inside, Andra's forehead shriveled as her net saw a familiar figure there, not just Eza. The man that Andra knew was his ex-wife was apparently with the manager of one of the divisions in his company.
“Goodnight Mr. Alandra, Ms. Novita!" The middle-aged man lowered his head in salute to one of the most important people in the BTR Group. Likewise with Eza, even the figure of the woman who was also involved with him at that time in the city of Lany was also there, they all seemed to submit to respect the existence of Andra.
Andra only nodded at a glance, pulling his suit He began to sit when one of the servants pulled a chair for him and walked out after his task was done, letting them start a private chat.
"Mr ..." Andra paused her speech while pointing at the figure of the middle-aged man in front of her, He tried to remember the name of the person.
Andra did not know all the employees in BTR Tower, only he often saw the head of the division at every accountability report meeting.
“Pak Khairil, manager of his marketing division Astra Furniture." Novi immediately informed in detail by mentioning one of the BTR Group subsidiaries engaged in furniture production.
Novi turned to look at the figure of Eza, he knew the man was one of the marketing division staff, but Novi did not know what his clear position was.
Andra exhaled softly and smiled and removed her hand from the base of the nose, Novi was indeed dexterous and reliable.
“What is the marketing manager now Astra Furniture wants to help promote the gold Citra Land Mineral?"
Andra's question filled with jokes that make the existing only lowered their head, they realized that Andra was conducting a circus over this meeting.
“Or maybe Astra wants to propose cooperation, want to launch the latest production, dimix and match with gold?"
Novi took a deep breath, he doesn't know any problems. However, seeing Andra like this, tucked in anger at the joke that was thrown made Novi can guess if the people in the room had ever had problems with Andra.
While Eza and the woman looked down, only Pak Khairil who straightened his head while several times down.
“Or maybe there's another discussion?" circus Andra again with a tucked smile.
Hearing that, Pak Khairil quickly attacked.
“Pak Andra, on behalf of my son and future daughter-in-law, I apologize profusely for what Kiki and Eza did back then."
“Eza really does not know that Mr. Andra is one of the Directors and grandchildren of the owner of BTR."
Andra again smiled smirk heard all. This is what invited him here.
“Eza, Kiki!" whispered Mr. Khairil gave the code.
The two couples who said they would soon get married also ventured to look at Andra.
“Pak Andra, forgive my behavior at that time, I really do not know who Mr."
“Iya Sir, forgive me and Eza, we were wrong and we hope Mr. Andra deigns to accept our apology."
Eza and Kiki said in turn.
While Novi who already understands the problems that exist only rolls lazy eyes knowing the problem sits.
Andra let out a long sigh, He straightened his shoulders and looked at them in turn before finally saying. “What is a dinner event with a reservation like this will still be there if that person is not me?"
Andra's question made them all mum and it managed to make Andra smile again.
“Even maybe Mr. Khairil will not be able to apologize for the treatment of the future son-in-law of the father."
“Just you guys did this to me because of my standing, right?"
The three people were increasingly made to look down by Andra's question that was so piercing
Actually Andra is not the type of person who thirsts for apology even though he was hurt even though he was born from a rich family. However, Mami Inka educated her into a good persona. Andra was indeed upset when remembering how Eza demeaned him and told Lany at that time.
“If I didn't have any privileges at BTR, or even just ordinary people maybe you guys wouldn't bother like this and stay relaxed, would you?" andra asked innately so calm and a smile never escaped her lips, but the words conveyed were so piercing.
“Sorry!" That's the only word that came out of Eza's mouth.
Andra mangosteen. “My message is one, I hope you can appreciate whoever it is without seeing the position, let alone their appearance."
“Either it is a person or even a small person."
Again Eza was increasingly made slapped, the words of a charismatic man in front of him made him slapped, immediately remembering how he used to degrade Andra just from the simple appearance of the man, he said, without knowing if Andra is a successful young man born from a rich family. He never used his position at all.
“Dragon attitude and speech so as not to hurt others!" andra continued, then his hand grabbed a glass of drink to be gulped even though only a mouthful. Likewise with Novi, he just did the same when he saw Andra doing it.
“Thanks for the dinner invitation." Andra waved the glass and put it down.
“I accept your apologies and appreciate your goodwill." Continue and begin to move, tidying up his suit and watch. Making the three invitees show an attitude of wonder to see the action of Andra interspersed with words that are striking, soft but piercing.
“Take it easy, I will not magnify this problem and make something like this an excuse for you to get fired, even though I can actually do that easily, given how I am!"
Eza and Pak Khairil repeatedly gulped violently, panicking because it turned out that Andra knew the hidden intent behind this apology. They were only afraid that Andra would use his power and easily get them out of the BTR Tower.
“As long as your performance is good and willing to serve for the company, you will definitely stay with us."
It felt like Andra's words had them all battered untouched. Even Novi always shuddered in horror if Andra had behaved like this.
“Come, Nov!"
Andra and Novi soon left.
....
Meanwhile on the other side. Lany was crying while hugging her knees. The girl leaned against the side of the bed with tears flowing.
Oma's words that were thrown when she just arrived at the house really can't be lost from Lany's memory, especially when the appearance of Mami Inka who did not defend her at all and just looked at her with a difficult gaze to interpret. It made Lany feel more depressed. At a time like this he really needed Andra, but because of the busyness of the man had not even come home until now.
“If this keeps on feeling like I can't afford." Lany said softly while wiping her tears.
The shadow of childhood when Lela's mother, her stepmother scolded and did not act fair to her made Lany sobbing. It was like going back to that time, life suffered and no one took sides. Lany hated this situation, He wanted to live a quiet life as when He got comfort while living on the ship, free to make himself happy without anyone pressing.
But now the situation is completely different. She has become the wife of Alandra, the son of a rich man who has differences inversely with her life. It feels like Lany wants to stay away from Andra, she can not be hated by this rich family because she married a prince like Andra. Lany thought marrying a rich man would be as fun as imagined, apparently not. But the rice was already porridge, the incident on the ship led him to this shocking fate, obtaining the kind-hearted figure of Andra and being able to make her fall in love was a beautiful destiny, but the reality of how the Andra family made Lany want to run away. He wanted to escape, but he could not, because in his stomach there was a new life that he had to take care of.
“You don't have a mama, I'm your mama, so you have to obey what I say, Lany!"
“Lany, your life can't be much better than Elsa's, because you're not my biological child. Don't expect to eat well and be treated well!"
Crying as a child and slashing words mamak continued to ring in Lany's head, making her cry even more broken when remembering how she never got a good life since childhood.
He managed to get it all when he started working hard on the ship. However, all that happiness is only for a moment, now He is again trapped among the evil-mouth who do not like his existence because of being the wife of Andra.
“Andra should not marry a woman like you, there is no need to be my granddaughter's companion!"
“You should realize, if it wasn't for my granddaughter you wouldn't be here."
“Actually you are my grandson until he wants to marry you secretly? You trap him, or are you gagging?"
The cry of Lany's childhood has now changed into the words of the oma lay before. Honestly, his heart ached hearing that. Lany's voice grew more and more sober realizing her fate now.
