Restore Your Smile

The Adipratama Family (1)

After everyone was in the living room, Om Andre's family first came to Celine and Wijaya's family to congratulate him.

"Congratulations on your engagement, Celine and James .." Andreas Adipratama said as he greeted the couple.

"Thank you, Om.." answered both.

"Congratulations to all of us .... Hopefully we can get along well with each other, " said Andreas again while greeting one by one Wijaya family with a friendly.

"Amin .." answered every member of the Wijaya family awkwardly, replying to the greeting.

This is the figure of Om Andre that Celine once told when she just returned to the middle of the Wijaya family after a long time he disappeared. The figure of the younger brother who stabbed his brother from behind for power. The figure of an uncle who had the heart to scuttle his own nephew in cunning ways.

Indeed, there are no more Celine stories about her uncle's attempts to bring her down. It seems that ever since Celine was set as the rightful heir, the company's situation has been safe. Maybe the Uncle had given up and finally chose to work together for the betterment of the company.

But for them, it was better to be on guard than such a person. It is better not to get too close and hang out in a safe distance, because the name of the character is not as easy as it can change. Who knows if there is something he hides behind his friendly attitude.

Andreas Adipratama then continued his congratulations to the Brother. "Congratulations on your daughter's engagement, sister."

"Thank you .." said Adrian Adipratama casually.

On the other hand, Andreas' wife and son also did the same to Celine and the Vijaya family, following the behavior of the Head of the Family.

"Congratulations yah .." said Rosita without a smile greeting them. More like a mere pleasantry, far from the word sincerity let alone warmth.

"Thank you, Auntie .." replied Celine and James, followed by a thank you note from another member of the Wijaya family.

It's not like Darrell. The young man only followed his stepmother's behavior, even worse. He simply reached out as a form of congratulations without a word coming out of his mouth. Her face is flat. There was no sign of him being happy. For sensitive people, it can definitely read the reluctance on its face, like a person being forced to be present in an unwanted place.

The one who could read the reluctance was Celine. As a person who knew Darrell's life story, he quite understood what the young man felt.

Still remembered in his mind some of their meetings that can be counted with fingers since they were children at the Adipratama family event. They both had the same aura, an exiled aura. The difference is, little Celine is always aloof and hides behind her brother's back. Little Darrell can only survive alone, trying to keep up with the flow of life with his own strength.

After congratulating his brother, Andreas then took two cocktail cups available at one of the drinking tables. One glass he gave to Adrian. Then the two began to separate and find a place to chat.

Rosita who realized that, immediately followed her husband. Darrell followed Rosita like a buffalo with his nose.

"Look at you now has changed a lot, brother. After all, I used to only choose the best quality items, especially to be worn at official events or major events like this, "Andreas said as he glanced at his brother's clothes.

This is just my little reply to the boy. What's wrong with me following her wish to wear this shirt as a uniform? The goal is good, to keep the feelings of others. Didn't you?" Adrian Adipratama asked.

"Aren't you afraid of being humbled? The distinguished head of the Adipratama family wears standard quality clothes?" andreas Fishing line.

Hearing that, Adrian Adipratama. "Who dares to humiliate me, brother? Want to wear any clothes, I remain the honorable head of the Adipratama family. No one dared to come into contact with me, let alone just because of the matter of clothes."

Hearing that Andreas Adipratama could only fall silent. There are things that he does not agree with the way the Big Brother thinks. But he did not dare to express his opinion. In the end, he belonged to the group of people who did not dare to go head-to-head against the Big Brother.

Thankfully, the silence soon passed. As a good host, Adrian Adipratama tried to change the subject and involved the wife and son of the Sister who had joined them.

After his uncle's family, it's now his aunt's turn to congratulate him. Unlike the previous family, one by one the family members congratulated Celine and the Wijaya family with hospitality. Every face was adorned with smiles.

Even his aunt not only congratulated him, but also tried to hold further talks with the Wijaya family. "What if we also find a seat so we can talk comfortably?" aunt Airin's Proposition to Mama Ratna.

This kind of call was unexpected by Mama Ratna and Papa Heru. They did not expect too high to get a warm welcome. As long as there was no humiliation and no commotion, it was enough. They are self-aware with status differences that stretch far between them and the Adipratama family.

He did not reply, Sonia had cut off their conversation. "Ma .... Can we who are young separate ourselves? It seems more convenient if we form our own chat group, "his proposal to the Mother.

"Of course I can. Indeed young people are better off chatting with fellow young people, " said Aunt Airin answering her daughter's question.

"Yuk, Lin ...." Sonia held Celine's hand like a familiar cousin. Followed by Sonic, James, and Alex's small family, they find another seat in the large living room. Finally they chose to sit on the most corner sofa, which borders the backyard.

Large curtains that close the glass doors are being opened, displaying the beauty of the backyard which is now decorated with lights like a garden party. The gazebo that was there was already decorated, ready to be used as a gathering place for those who want to relax and chat there.

To be honest Alex is a bit lazy to take part in the group talk of young people. He prefers to accompany his parents in case something happens in the conversation, whether disconnect or something potentially offensive. After all, only he had a business background among his family.

But because his family had been broken up like this, he chose to accompany James as someone from the same generation. After all, looking at Aunt Airin's attitude earlier, it seemed safer to leave both parents than to leave James. APPARENTLY, once again Alex can only agree on the word and pray that his guess is right.

Alex catches a mocking smile from Sonia and Sonic at dinner last night. And that worries him a little. This is why Alex chose to be on James' side.

The night is not over. In the midst of various interests and feelings buried in the hearts of everyone, the Adipratama family intimacy event is still sought intertwined. Can this night pass just fine as expected? Follow the story ....
