Picking Up the Past

Married by Promise

After almost 1 month of Aliando's case, he finally had to resign to the circumstances. Investigators arrested him in his study at the Adinata group building.2 Investigators entered, they immediately handcuffed the handcuffed Aliando resigned by sitting quietly in his office chair.

Aliando walked slowly following the investigator, his face down, trying to hide from the sight of all the Adinata group employees

In the lobby, dozens of journalists were waiting for him, police and bodyguards of the Adinata group helped investigators to get Aliando past the press who kept pressing on approaching Aliando.

“what's right sir has embezzled company funds sir?”

“what is the true accusation that you killed Mr Gibran and his wife?”

“please give one answer only mister”

the voice of the reporter's voice accompanied Aliando's step towards the investigator's car. Meanwhile, employees of Adinata group saw Aliando's departure by taking a deep breath.

22 Years after the death of Gibran Adinata, the Adinata group finally returned to the hands of the Adinata family, Indra Adinata who everyone thought was gone, has returned in a way they did not expect.

Meanwhile Mr. Sarman stared at the news of Aliando's arrest with a calm face, He raised his head. A loser is a loser, his mind. He saw the yard of his house that he had not seen for months.

“grandfather saw the news?” ask Mila in a slow tone.

“should have Arya get what she should have dear,” said sir Sarman, “if grandfather knew from the beginning who Arya was, grandfather who would raise her back to that seat, that is his right, he said, his father's struggle that began from nol”

It is still clear in his memory what Gibran used to build his business empire, until Aliando seized it in a very bad way.

“Arya has made everything cake, we will live our better life in front of”, said Mila who leaned her head in her grandfather's wheelchair.

“are you angry that Arya imprisoned your brother too?”

“no kek, if Arya sincerely for everything, I also have to be sincere, after all, Irman bang can also learn a lot and change for the better to go ahead” explained Mila.

Mr. Sarman smiled, in his old age, he could still see many things. But he can only hope that Mila can always be happy with Arya, and Irman can live a new life in Malaysia after going out of prison later.

“if Vanessa marries someone else later, still think of her as your sister Mil” said Mr. Sarman who saw Vanessa cleaning their home garden. “our family sins are too much for her, he was not even recognized anymore by his family because of the actions of your brother”

Mila took a deep breath, She also had to be sincere if Vanessa later found a partner who could make her happy. The woman they were thinking about was now walking towards them.

“it looks like it's time we cook Mil” Vanessa said.

“ini is still early in the morning, grandfather is also still sunbathing” replied Mila slowly.

Vanessa thought for a moment, she was trying a new menu, since this morning she kept thinking about the problem.

“now yes, brother wants to try something because” he said with a clear smile.

“hmmm, brother first aja cook, I still want to nemanin grandpa here” replied Mila.

Vanessa nodded slowly, “but if you are tired, we have to rest ya” Vanessa said.

Vanessa then approached Sarman and Mila, looking into Mila's eyes.

“why sis?, is there a problem with me?” asked Mila confusedly.

Vanessa shook her head, “you really changed miles, even you are much better now than when you were a teacher then”

“ihh big brother, so according to my brother first I can not be an example of my students” said Mila with annoyance.

Mr. Sarman and Vanessa smiled, both of them aware of how Mila changed. Not spoiled anymore like before, already able to do homework, and also clear, not stubborn anymore and willing to listen to the words of others.

Vanessa takes a deep breath, she used to even desperately ask Mila to accept Arya.

But the girl was stubborn, and ultimately it was fate that forced them to stay together.

Arya got out of her car and walked quickly towards the 3 people who were engrossed in the yard of the house.

“assalamualikum” Arya kisses the hand of Mr. Sarman and then Mila kisses his hand, “walaikumussalam abi” Mila replied after Arya kissed his forehead.

“kok abi have come home?” ask Mila.

“this is the last day at the office, tomorrow abi already have to go to Adinata group"

"abi must take care of the company until the shareholders meeting later, it has been agreed by the board of commissioners of Mi” explained Arya.

Mila nodded slowly, she then looked towards her smiling grandfather looking at Arya.

“kek, Mila can say something not” he said.

Mr. Sarman and Arya looked strangely at Mila, “what dear?” ask Mr. Sarman in a confused tone.

“Mila wants to say thank you again with grandpa” said Mila, she then stood up and smiled at Arya. “thank you for forcing this man to marry Mila back then” he said again holding Arya's suit.

Arya took a deep breath, “Umi is happy yes we are married because of the promise abi same grandfather” said Arya with a thin tone.

“hmmmm, yes, if not, where is it possible abi want to be the same woman as umi first”

Vanessa and Mr. Sarman smiled at them, the call abi umi they heard from Arya and Mila, tickled their ears.

“wah, wah, it seems to have forgotten who used to cry-nangis did not want to marry” taunted Arya.

Mila can only smile to hear it, anyway it did happen at that time. “forget yes, who used to run to Semeru so as not to be married?,” reply Mila.

Arya took off an upset breath, she lost again to Mila. “forget yes, used to be at the age of 4 years old 'had gone play kiss-kium” Arya replied by blinking her eyes at Mila.

Mila swallowed her saliva, she momentarily glanced at Mr. Sarman and Vanessa who saw it full of probing. ‘astaga’ her inner trying to find an excuse.

Arya smiled, her little princess is still the same as before, always making her anxious to immediately pinch her cheek. Arya pulled Mila and hugged her, “your prince has returned, thank you always waiting for me” said Arya.

“Bi, Umi wants to eat fried rice made by abi again” muttered Mila slowly.

“wah, can tuh, this afternoon Arya aja who cook” said Vanessa smiled cynically to Arya.

“kakek agreed, grandfather has never tasted Arya” cuisine said Mr. Sarman, he looked at Arya with calm eyes, “they once told me that you are also a master of cooking Arya”

Arya took a deep breath, “ok, Arya chef is ready to cook for the masters and ladies” said Arya with enthusiasm.

Arya then immediately went inside the house. "When you go in first, make a cake, help Arya". Mila then follows Arya to help her husband in the kitchen.

While Vanessa looks at Mila and Arya with a faint smile, she might be able to try her new menu later in the afternoon. Vanessa then looked towards Mr. Sarman who was still enjoying the morning sunshine.

“grandpa still want to sunbathe?” ask Vanessa.

“iya dear, how is your restaurant business?”

“the concept is mature cake, Tomy again the same negotiation that holds the place we want to use later” replied Vanessa.

“grandfather always wishes you the best, wherever you go later, remember that the initiative is your family”

Vanessa nodded, Dakarsa was the home she returned to, and it would never change.

“I'll call mom first cake, so I can have lunch with us” muttered Vanessa.
