THE BACHELOR?!!

Chapter 36. Press Conference

Still on the same day, after Joseph had left Winata's residence, the tall man did not go to the office. Joni drove him to the hotel for the event this morning with Andre and Mama Aiu. Andre had planned a press conference this morning.

The middle-aged man deliberately announced the marriage of Joseph and Cicit as a war hero. He wanted to see after the news came out anyone who would react and make a move. Although the wedding reception will be a battlefield, it is already a risk. Andre has been patient enough so far, the enemy who awaited has revealed its form. So what are you waiting for?!

The conference room is ready. The reporters had also come and sat in an orderly manner. Andre, Aiu, and Joseph had already entered the room. Joni also did not miss always being next to Joseph. Without further ado Andre immediately started the conference.

"Assalamualaikum warahmatulli wabarakatuh! Good mornin! Greetings to all of us! Thank you for the presence of my fellow journalists at the conference this morning. In this conference I will announce the marriage of our eldest son, Yusuf Mahardika Winata with Citra Srikandi Wirabuana, daughter of General Bimasena Arya Wirabuana. The wedding was held on Monday. To celebrate this happiness we invite our friends to attend the wedding reception on Saturday night at this hotel." Andre has finished announcing the news.

Suddenly a reporter showed up asking permission to ask. Andre gave permission by nodding his head.

"This is Mr. Andre, I want to confirm the news that circulated yesterday and became a trending topic. In the line of time online circulating news that the daughter of General Wirabuana is no longer holy. Is the news true? If true, does it not have a bad impact on your company?"

"Let me answer! I asked when did the news come up?" Although furious, Yusuf remained calm to face the reporters.

"Wednesday morning!" answer the reporter.

"All right! I'd say the news is true. My wife was no longer a virgin on the day the news came down because I had unsealed her on Monday." Everyone was listening to Joseph's answer. They did not expect to hear these words from Joseph's mouth.

"Taa... But according to the news, Miss Citra is rumored to have been unholy since she was young. Did Miss Citra do the operation?" the journalist continued to fiddle with other questions aimed at justifying the news.

"I make sure that my wife, Citra Srikandi Wirabuana is still a virgin when she married me! There is no operation or anything like that as the news says! If after this conference you hear that news again or you write fake news here, then you will feel my anger! Lastly, however great-granddaughter before me I will still marry her because I love her!" Joseph spoke firmly. The threat is no joke. The reporter swallowed. There was fear on his face.

Yusuf Mahardika Winata is indeed known as a friendly person, kind, firm, and spicy speech and ceplos. He does not like it if his kindness is misinterpreted or misused. If he dared to disturb him then he did not hesitate to destroy his opponent.

There was once a woman, the son of one of his business associates who was about to fall. Joseph was kind to help her. It turns out that the woman misunderstood Joseph's kindness. The woman announced to reporters that she and Joseph were dating. Joseph was not happy with the news. The man had already asked the girl's father to clarify but was not heeded. Eventually, Joseph withdrew all investments and shares in the company. As a result, the company suffered a major loss and went bankrupt. Joseph never messed with his threats.

"Is there any more questions? If nothing, we will end this meeting. Don't forget to attend the reception later! Thank you!" Joseph ended the meeting.

Andre approached Joseph and gave a compliment. "Great answer! Papa's proud! Ahaha!" Andre shakes Joseph's shoulder.

"Yes dong pa! Whose son tried it?" Yusuf.

"Can't you give me a more subtle answer?" Mama Aiu nudged Andre and Yusuf's ears.

"Ampun ma! But that's the honest answer ma!" Joseph defended himself.

"That's ma!" Andre defended Yusuf.

"Yes right, but you can use fine language!" Mama Aiu sighed not knowing what else to do with her son and husband. If they have come out the sauce can not be prevented.

"Already ma! Let it all be clear! Rather than that there is something more important! That's Cuckoo coming home! How's that going?" Andre switched the conversation.

"That'll let the great-grandson take care of it! I'll stay at the hotel until the reception! After all, this reception will require your mother's supervision!" Aiu was already lazy to deal with Rachel and did not want to deal with her anymore.

Meanwhile on the other side of the world, the time still shows at 21:00 local time. A young woman threw a glass on the floor. The woman's emotions peaked after watching the press conference broadcast held by Andre.

"Damn it! What's more amazing that woman than me? Let's see who's gonna laugh at the end?" Rachel laughed loudly afterwards.

The woman then contacted someone. "Has this man been found?"

"Yes Miss!"

"Bring him to meet me tomorrow before the airport!"

"Ready lady!"

After calling her bodyguard, Rachel called Mona. Mona, who was with Cicit, asked permission to answer the phone. The great-granddaughter agreed and asked Mona to raise her voice.

"Hello, Miss Rachel!"

"Mona, where are you? Why did you pick up my phone for so long?"

"Sorry, miss! I was at the main house, I had to find a safe place before I picked up the phone. Now in the backyard. It's safe here! What orders, miss?"

"You clean my room! I'll be home soon!"

"Sorry, miss! Which room is Miss Rachel in? The bedrooms upstairs are all filled up. There are only a few guest rooms downstairs!"

"What do you mean you're filled with?"

"I mean, the upstairs bedroom has only 4 rooms, the master and mistress room, the young master room, and the twin ladies room! Hasn't it been since this house was rebuilt that she's never been home. So I don't know which lady's room?"

Goddamnit! They didn't even give me a private room. Rachels.

"I told you later to prepare a room for me!"

Tut. tut's... Call is closed.

"How is this madam? Miss Rachel coming home soon? I should how?" Ever since knowing Rachel's lies and knowing she's her mother's killer, she doesn't want to work for her anymore.

"You should behave as you normally would. Let him think you're still under his control. The rest let us take care of it. There will be punishment for anyone who does evil, no exception to him! The most important evidence is in hand. Just need to make him admit it!" Chirping grin.

Time for revenge, Rachel! Chirp.

Rachel immediately called Mama Aiu to inform her of her return.

"Assalamualaikum, Auntie Aiu! Auntie, Rachel's seen the press conference! Rachel wants to go home to Yusuf's reception. Rachel's gonna stay at the house for a while, right?" Rachel tried to seduce Aiu.

"Girlwindsalam! You've seen the press conference! Yes, aunt asked Cicit to prepare a room for you! When did you take off?"

"Maybe tomorrow morning, 7:00 here, tan!"

"O... that's! Be careful on the road! Assalamualaikum!" Aiu immediately ended the conversation.

"You heard about Cup! So, please tell me the great-grandson to prepare a room for her!" Joseph just nodded.

"Just calm down! Ucup's gonna piss him off half to death!"

"Cup, why aren't the great-grandchildren here?"

"So he's allowed to go with Mona ma! He said he wanted to show Mona the truth!"

"So that traitor is Mona? Mama did not think!"

"Mom don't be mad at him! He also did not know that he had been tricked by the Cuckoo! If Cicit says Mona's been hypnotized. The memory of him when saved by the old man was replaced! The real Mona nolongin is Dr. Fadli, but because she was hypnotized, Mona thinks it was Rachel who saved her! Feeling indebted, Mona wants to be a spy. That's also Rachel's promise to cure Mona's mother's illness, uh not even yearya killed the same Rachel! Worse yet, ma! The Cuckoo asked Mona to send money every month 5 million for the cost of her mother's medicine. Rachel is really mean!"

"Astaghfiullah! I can't wait to teach him a lesson!" Mama Aiu became furious after hearing her son's story.

"Calm down ma! Saturday we're in action!" Andre assures Aiu that Saturday is the time.

"You're being sincere if the reception becomes a battlefield?"

"If that's not you need to worry! Grandpa Krishna guaranteed his safety. Invitation for them for the evening. Not for the morning!"

"Btw, do you know where that story came from? Mama saw you from earlier no phone great-grandchild?"

"Ucup has installed eavesdroppers in the car and Cicit bags! So you can hear everything!"

"Well, you're great!"

Elsewhere, two women were crouching in front of a mound of dirt that had now been tidied up. The great-grandson still accompanied Mona on her mother's grave. Mrs Winata helped her servant clean the tomb. Then sprinkle flowers and do not forget to pray for the spirit of the mother of Ratih.

"Mom, forgive this stupid Mona! Mona has wrongly trusted people! Mona hurt mom!" Sobs still rang out from Mona's mouth. His deep regret was conveyed to the body that was united with the earth.

"From now on Mona promises never to trust Miss Rachel again! Mona will be devoted to the young mistress for the rest of my life!" Mona had already made up her mind.

"You can't do that! You should be happy with the one you love!"

"Does the madam still hate me?"

"I don't hate Mona! But I just want you to be happy someday. You will definitely find your love and live with it! If so you can't be beside me continue!"

"I don't want to get married so I can be the same madam!"

"Husse! Where can that be! If it's time you can't refuse the happiness that comes to you! Before that happens you can stay beside me!" Mona nodded and smiled.

Night at the Winata residence.

Young couple relaxing on the balcony. The great-granddaughter accidentally did not close her hair because she had just shampooed. Seeing his wife on the balcony, Joseph caught up with her and immediately hugged her from behind.

"Well, you're done with the moon?" Tweeted steady.

"But you have been shampooing. Papa once said that mama was shampooing when she finished her period." She laughed at her husband's words.

"Ucup baby! You are so innocent! Your wife hasn't finished her period. I was shampooing because it was time to shampoo. Especially after traveling far."

"Well! fast again!" Joseph was gloomy.

"You're "wanting" huh?" Yusuf nodded.

"The aroma of your shampoo is also your pose of drying your hair is very charming! It's like this!"

"Let me help you!" Joseph smiled happily.

After an hour of great-grandchildren accompanied Joseph in sports, they now sat back on the balcony.

"I thought you'd use massage techniques instead of sports."

"It's possible to use that technique, but I'm afraid you'll get addicted and play by yourself if I'm not around. It's the same as me plunging you into sin. Sport is safe."

"True to you! My wife is the smartest! Btw, Mama ask you to prepare a room for Rachel!"

"I've prepared it in the guest room downstairs."

"Good! Maybe tomorrow morning he'll be there! How are you preparing?"

"That's pretty good even for the worst case scenario! Honey, can I ask people to do some care and control?"

"You want to be escorted? Where's tumben?"

"not me! I got an email from Bram! He sent an SOS signal in that email! He only asked me to take care of 3 people, his son, wife, and brother-in-law. They'll be up to 2 hours!"

"Why is that all of a sudden?"

"He didn't tell me the details! He just asked me to take care of them! He also sent an old email. I feel like Bram's arrival has something to do with Rachel! Hows it? Can you?"

"All right! I'll have Joni find someone to look after them. Send me their photos and profiles so that the person who picked them up is not wrong!" The great-granddaughter immediately sent a photo of the Bram family to Joseph.

At 06:00 am at an international airport, in the USA.

A handsome man was waiting in the lounge chair. The man was relaxed like the other passengers. The white man was still reading the newspaper when a young woman arrived and sat down before him. Whether intentionally or not. The man ignored Rachel's presence until the woman greeted him.

"Good morning Mr. Brama!" greet Rachel. Bram took down the newspaper he was reading and looked towards the woman in front of him.

"Sorry miss! You who? I'm waiting for someone to see me!"

"I'm the one you're waiting for!" Bram put the newspaper he read back into place.

"All right! What does she mean by knowing my past that makes me have to hide here?" Bram straight to the point.

"Aren't you the one who desecrated your girl friend back in Junior High? Srikandi Wirabuana! Do you remember that name?"

"You! Whatdoyouwant? Who the hell are you?" Bram was instantly emotional as the girl called out the name of the great-grandson.

"I'm Rachel Maria Emperor! I was the good girl who gave you candy back then! Ahaha!"

"You!" Bram was instantly emotional and wanted to attack Rachel. Fortunately, his bodyguard managed to secure Bram.

"I just want you to come to the wedding reception later and say that Mrs Winata has been tarnished by you!" If you do that then I'll let you go! Too bad the people working for you left first, I can't take them hostage! But take it easy your father and mother are in my hands!" Bram's eyes bulged.

"Bad!"

"Services are worthless than your family! That's why you have to obey! Ahaha!" Rachel then left.

Bram tries to contact his family but no one picks up the phone from him.

"Damn it!" Bram hit the wall hard.

The man then sent an email back to Cicit about his parents being held hostage.

"Which, Bram sent me another email, have you read it?" The great-grandson just shook his head. Joseph is currently checking Cicit's phone.

"Here! that's the SOS sign again!" Joseph asked Cicit to come closer. Tweet opened that email.

"Astaghfiullah! Rachel is so evil! Papa Bram's mother is taken hostage!"

"It looks like he's planning on using Bram to ruin your reputation at the reception later!" The great-grandfather agreed. Tweeted Bram's email. The young woman said she would help Bram find his parents and would look after his son and wife. Bram who read the email from Cicit calmed down a little.

Fucking woman! Just look I'm gonna make you pay for what you did 17 years ago! Bram.
