"Say, tomorrow we go to Sugiyono's grandfather yes, he asks us to stay at his house a day or two before we go to Switzerland"
"Hmm, alright, but does Grandpa Sugiyono not mind me coming with you?"
"Why does he mind?"
"Your grandfather will match you to someone else"
"You remember that one, so you think Grandpa Sugi doesn't agree with us?"
Daniel is silent and does not answer Rita's question
"Our son has two, when he disagrees. You don't have to think about Grandpa"
"But you also seem a bit disinclined there"
"Huh? Hehehe neither, sometimes the aura of the house does not match me. A lot of bad things happened in that house, I'm not comfortable"
"But you said in your 16s you had lived in Sugi's grandfather's house right? Who's with TWK?"
"Well that's it, if the curiosity I'm often lazy to go there again"
"But you won, that's why Robby is no longer your enemy, right?"
"Yes!, grandfather asked us to stay there occasionally with the children. Mama said she's renovating my room for me to stay with our family"
"Oh yeah? I was wondering, what's like our room here?"
" If my room is there, mama has made a mini kitchen, but it is located outside the room, so if from the outside there are two rooms, even though if entering from the usual door is only one room"
"How many floors are there in Grandpa Sugi's house?"
"How many are you? 4 Like, because there's a basement for the employee mess "
"Oo, it's almost the same here"
"Indeed, he said Dar's grandfather was inspired by Sugi's grandfather's house "
"Is the facility complete?"
"Very complete! Grandpa Sugi has an apple and orange plantation, so before entering the home environment, we pass through the orchard first. I used to hang out in the woods."
"The forest?"
"Sister Andi and I called the forest because of its many trees. I learned to climb from there. Sometimes I bumped between the trees, the workers would scream for me" Rita smiled remembering her childhood
"Really, I hope our children are not as stubborn as their mothers" Daniel joked.
“Hahaha.I used to hate being forced into taekwondo and teaching so I often run away if my private teacher comes”
“Is grandpa not angry? as far as I know Grandpa Sugi is a very strict person”
“Certainly angry, I often cry after being scolded, usually that calms my father. Grandfather let me be bullied by my cousin, even in front of his own eyes”
“Why is that?”
“He always said, if being bullied must fight anyone, so if I cry because of being beaten by my cousin, grandfather instead lectured me and not my cousin”
“Bigger also yes he”
“But therefore I feel grandfather has a point, out there many more cruel than my cousins, if I keep quiet I will be oppressed, so I start diligently exercise”
“Oh so, maybe the way people express their meaning is different huh?”
“Truely, Grandpa Sugi is indeed not like grandfather Darmawan who likes to embrace, kiss dear. Grandpa Sugi is more attitude, I used to tremble when I received a call from him, but he just wanted to say hello and buy things” Rita smiled considering his past
“According to me Yang, you are mirrrip her!”
“I? Time anyway?”
“I remember once his gaze when you managed to reach the highest wall when climbing or his anxious face when you defeated Rendy. He thinks more about your health than your victory his face looks like you when anxious and proud”
“So yeah? I just found out” Rita was silent, suddenly she felt awkward with her grandfather.
“We went tonight just how?” suddenly
“Tomorrow in the morning, even if you are his granddaughter but are visiting there is an adage, unless there is an urgent, do not visit too late!” daniel reminded
“Nggihh..kang mas!!” kanda Rita's
“Hah? What is tuh?” daniel asked in surprise with Rita's answer
“That means Alright oppaaaa!” rita translated
“oooo” Daniel nodded
The next morning they left for the Big House of Sugiyono. Upon arrival there they were greeted with great joy, almost all of Rita's cousins who lived there welcomed.
"Assynnya!" Said Rita and Daniel at the same time when entering the grand mansion
"Wa'alaikummussalam, come in my dear" replied Ratna, she approached and hugged her daughter and greeted her daughter-in-law
"Wa'alaikummussalam!!" Answer all the residents of the house
"Wow compact!" Rita was shocked by the warm welcome of her cousins
"How are you, Rita? Daniel?" ask Robby
"Alhamdulillah good!" They shake each other.
"Eh we brought a lot of souvenirs from Europe. Mr Umar, I'm sorry to get his stuff in my car?" rita Pinta.
“Eh ma, Daniel made a sandwich for mama” Rita gave a small box to her mother
“Ah sandwich!! Wah thanks ya sayangg.mama kebayang continues the same as it feels”
“What's tuh?” ask Grandpa Sugi who appeared suddenly
“Eh grandpa!” Rita greets him and hugs him, Daniel regrets it
“This is a reward, a sandwich made by Daniel, really good. Try it later!” Ratna promoted
“Kak Ranna, Bang Raffa here, greetings first with Aki grandfather!” daniel said in a firm voice.
Ranna and Raffa, who are being surrounded by Rita's cousins, immediately leave them and immediately approach the grandfather battery
“Ahh...cicit-chicit me!” Grandpa Sugi lowered his body and hugged his two great-grandchildren
Then kiss them
Rita was a bit surprised, she just saw the soft side of her grandfather
“This who?” ask him to both of his great-grandchildren
“Aki?” Ranna answered
“Guys!” Raffa connect
“You are so smart!!! Aki grandpa has long wanted to play with you guys!” senggakan.
“Let's sit down first, let the staff take care of your stuff and put it in your room!, uh you guys stay here right?” ask grandpa in a firm voice
“Iya cake! Maybe three days, because Daniel already has to report to sana” replied Rita
“Kesana?” Grandpa Sugi was confused
“Oh grandpa haven't heard ya?” ask Rita
“But! About what?”
“Daniel moved work kek”
“Hah?”
“I moved to Lexington Corp., kek” Daniel connect his wife's statement
“Lexington Corp? Hmm... that's the owner.si.”
“Alex Ferguson!” answer Daniel
“Ah Yes, Sir Alex”
“Sir? So he's royalty too?” daniel asked in shock
“Yes, but this noble title he earned because it meritorious to his country and not because it was passed down by his father, I heard he was the son of the wife siri right?”
“True cake! Wow great grandfather can know that much detail”
“I warn ya, sir Alex is very eccentric, I've heard, he recruits employees not in the office, but in nature, he invites prospective candidates to camp for several days. He said from there he could see the ability of each candidate and decide the right position in his company”
“Ooo so” Daniel and Rita together
“You know not the greatest of sir alex?”
“What cake?” ask Rita and Daniel at the same time
“He started his business from making a survival jacket, which gave Darmawan's grandfather capital! From there he grew. From starting a camping equipment business, to venturing into other businesses. A few years ago he had disappeared, people say he deliberately hid but some time ago he invited some colleagues to his residence”
“Grandfather came?”
“I? Oh I was invited but I can't because it's pandemic”
“Pandemi how can he notadain event?” ask Rita wonder
“If for a classmate he just want a pandemic or not!” said Sugi while teasing Raffa
“Means he's a great guy huh?” said Rita
“Iya dong, oh yes Niel you can placement where?”
“At kek” head office
“Head office? Your position?”
“CEO manager”
“you said senior CEO?” ask Rita
“Iya I think so too, uh after I read again his letter of duty, it turns out CEO manager”
“Wah, it's the highest number 3 person in the company, you must have impressed him”
“Maybe kek, Daniel won the main champion during the company camper yesterday” replied Rita proudly
“ooo fast! How long have you contracted”
“Three years cake!” answer Rita
“So you guys will move to Switzerland?” ratna asked, her voice a bit sad
“Iya ma, insya Allah, he said all accommodation and home facilities have been provided by the company, we just entered”
“You in what city?”
“Zurich kek” replied Daniel
“Grandfather has been there?”
“Iya several times, at that time grandfather wanted to buy one of the hotels there, but not so”
“Why cake?”
“It turns out in Auckland there is a good hotel for sale cheap, so I bought that's it”
“Oh which Ashton hotel is yes?” ask Rita
“Yak right!”
Mr. Umar rushed to Rita's car and picked up a large suitcase and medium-sized cardboard"
"His suitcase immediately take to the room sir" said Ratna, he carried Ranna
"This is playing with grandma, let's deck Raffa as well" Ratna asked
"Swim yuk!" Bring Daisy
"Yes swimming!" Said Robby
"You swim, I want to talk to Daniel" Sugiyono said
"Eh?" Rita looked towards Daniel who looked a bit pale.
"Come on Rit!, the kids can't wait to swim!" Call Robby
Rita ran after them.
While Daniel follows Grandpa Sugiyono towards his study on the 2nd floor
Daniel was endlessly amazed by Sugiyono's brighter home design because of the sunlight that entered through the gaps between the domes.
"You just came here anyway so it's like a confused person" said Sugiyono who walked in front of him
"Yes cake, but this house is so unique huh? " Daniel was amazed
"Hehehe.you know it took me 10 years to build a home that was comfortable for the family but also environmentally friendly!"
"Environmentally friendly?"
"The outside of this house is coated with photovoltaic so it is like absorbing sunlight and turning it into electric power. At night, the lighting is obtained from the sunlight obtained in the morning"
Daniel listened to Sugiyono's explanation diligently.
“Here no cake elevator?” daniel asked, anxious to see Sugiyono who climbed every step of the stairs
“There, take it easy, I put on my robot legs, this is Andi's recommendation. Lighter material I also helped a lot, I would rather go up and down the stairs than take the elevator” said Sugi explained
"Outside this house there are many courts, ranging from tennis, gokart to outdoor swimming pool. I do not have a horse farm, because it is troublesome, I get a horse gift during my visit to Dubai, I give it to Grandpa Darmawan, because he really likes horses" Sugiyono said again. Daniel nodded back.
Now they had arrived at Sugiyono's study.
"Sit Niel!"
Daniel according to, he was sitting on a large, comfortable sofa .
"Just a second!" Sugiyono called someone from her phone
"Erwin?"
"Yes sir?"
"Can you make me two coffees, take it upstairs, okay?"
"Good sir!" Erwin answered the kitchen staff
After calling, Sugiyono sat opposite Daniel.
"How long will you stay in Switzerland?" Ask to the point
"About 3 years cake, but can be extended depending on the needs of the company"
"Hmm..so you'll take Rita and the kids with you right?"
"Yes cake!"
"Darmawan's grandfather doesn't mind your move to Lexi?"
"We talked about it, Kek, he said he would let me go"
"The ugly grandfather of Darmawan, he can't express his objections, but I'm sure he really needs your help in his company"
"Yes cake, but.." Daniel felt bad again
"But, it might be a good idea to work with others, as an experience for you, you're still young"
"Yes cake!" Daniel was somewhat relieved to hear Sugiyono's words
Grandpa Sugi took a large envelope from the top of his desk
"Nih Niel you read first"
" Is this a cake?" Daniel opened a large envelope containing the letter of agreement he had signed
"Eh this??" He was confused as to how the letter had been signed
"You remember, before marrying Rita, I asked you to sign an empty blank?"
"Yes?" Daniel remembers that, one of the conditions Sugiyono put forward before Rita married Daniel.
"Blanko empty I have filled it with a letter of agreement, essentially Niel, said, if you cheat on Rita or leave Rita or ignore her then you have to divorce Rita and give custody of your children to Rita."
Daniel read every chapter of the covenant.
"What if Rita asks for a cake divorce? Do I have to lose my kids too?"
" Of course! That's why don't get divorced! “ said Sugiyono firmly
Daniel is still reading
"The fourth point about stocks is what does cake mean?"
"Because you've become Rita's husband, then you'll get stock rights in my company. The value of the shares will increase with the age of your marriage. And those shares are off I'll give you if you're divorced"
Daniel nodded in understanding.
"You don't think I'm cruel, Niel, I just want to protect my granddaughter. All my grandchildren, her husband will be like this. You also have a daughter, you want to protect her, right?"
"Yes cake! Although in fact this is not all necessary, but for grandfather to calm down then I do not mind"
"Good Niel!.out there will be many women more beautiful and more attractive than your wife. Maybe now you are still drunk with each other, but later on increasing age, the children are getting older, the work, then there will be saturation between your relationships. That's what I made this deal for!"
"Yes cake, I understand!"
"Hmm...do you mind Niel?"
"God's love is not cake, Rita and I will always try to keep our relationship"
"Good!! Remember Niel maintaining the relationship does not mean you do not fight, sometimes you can fight, but you do not leave the house if you are upset. Or even ignore Rita like that time. Rita was very sensitive to the feeling of abandonment. Once he is ignored then he will go away from you!”
“Eh?”
“You don't believe it? Do you know whose first love Rita was?”
“Tommy?”
“Not Tommy, but Reza.”
“But that's his father?”
“Daughter's first love is her father Niel, you're her first love Ranna!”
“Then the cake? The thing seems Ranna is not that close as I”
“Ranna is still 2 years old, long time he will see the figure of a man from his father. That's what Rita saw from Reza”
“oh so, about the abandonment how is the cake?”
“Honestly I said, Darmawan is lucky.”
“Mean grandfather?”
“He came when Rita felt Reza had left her, I heard from Ratna. Reza was married again when Rita was here and she was not told at all. From there Rita was determined to leave Reza, especially when she heard that there was another grandfather. If only Reza hadn't ignored him, I'm sure Rita would have been as strong as her power against his move to Auckland”
Daniel nodded in understanding.
“When Rita moved to Auckland, did grandpa not mind?”
“No, actually about Rita, Darmawan's granddaughter I've known for a long time, but considering Rita's health at that time, so I think later after normal circumstances I'll tell Darmawan.”
“Rita's Health?”
“You haven't heard? Rita gets the heart of Reza's adopted son. He deliberately married his mother so that he could get the heart and liver of his son. When Rita's heart was born deformed, the offspring of her father Eka. I was desperate, but then I heard Reza lunge. At first he didn't admit what the hospital money I entrusted him with was spent. After being forced new deh he told the truth.”
“So Reza's father married the woman?”
“Yes, that's why I was angry, I thought this guy didn't know himself, my son loved him very much but he cheated on me and used my money. Of course I forced him to leave Ratna!”
“After grandfather knows the truth how?” ask Daniel
“I called him back, also Ratna. I offered them what they wanted to get back together again and they said they had no feelings for each other. I can't force her”
“Do Rita and Andi know grandfather is trying to bring their parents closer?”
“It seems not, Reza and Ratna are asking, they say this is between them only, the children do not need to be involved.”
Daniel nodded in understanding
“I am the one holding this letter Kek?”
“Don't dong, it's mine, I just showed it to you. Niel, I am old, my strength is not what it used to be, I worry about all my family members. To be honest I'm relieved Rita and you are paired”
“Eh but?”
“Oh about Rendy?”
“Yes that's one of my ways to lure someone hiding out.”
“Someone?”
“Yes, that someone is you Niel!. Radian reported the development of your relationship to Darmawan, are you slow at all huh? Rendy was just my backup plan, so I didn't say anything to Rita. Unexpectedly, Arya appeared. We did deg-deg-an. We were afraid that Rita would change her mind, because Arya had been close to her since she was a child. Besides being handsome, he also achieves in his school”
Daniel heard what Sugiyono said
“So Niel, I picked Rita ya”
“Eh yes cake!”
“Let's go to the pool, our pool is the standard size of the Olympics” Sugiyono took Daniel away from the room and towards the pool.
