Zumi Bragmanto looked at Vishnu with a smile. "Thank you for seeing me."
"I'm grateful that Mr. Zumi is finally willing to accept our offer."
Ivory that sits behind Vishnu is ready with a letter of sale and purchase agreement and various other documents related to transactions that will occur today.
"I will not add to the price offered by son Vishnu. I will even give you the main house and a villa that is there. Indeed, the house must be repaired because I have not lived there for a long time and the people who guard it do not take care of the house well. And the villa by the lake is still good."
"Then, what should I do to make it all mine?" ask Vishnu did not want to talk because he did not want to be late at the birthday celebration of his second wife. Indira people are very fast and that's what Vishnu does not like.
"Marry my grandson."
"What?" Vishnu surprised. Having two wives makes him dizzy, why should one be added?
"Mr Zumi, don't you know that I already have two wives?"
"I knew. I've been investigating who Vishnu's son is. Actually if your first wife is still alive then you will have 3 wives. I gave my grandson to marry Vishnu because I couldn't trust another man to be his companion. Although later my grandson will be the third wife, but I am sure that Vishnu son can be fair as he has been trying to live."
Vishnu rubbed his face. Why should I get married because there is something in it? Is this the destiny written by the Owner of Life?
"Sir, did your granddaughter know that you were going to marry her to me?"
"No. But he certainly won't refuse. He is currently in college. My granddaughter is very smart. Indeed, he was a little recalcitrant because he liked to go to the discotheque and go home at dawn. I don't know if she's a virgin or not. Ah, I've failed to educate her well." Zumi wiped away her tears that had already fallen. "I knew that my age would end but before I died, I wanted to make sure my granddaughter was in good hands. I could die peacefully." Zumi looked at Vishnu. "Please son of Vishnu, marry my grandson."
"But I can't love her. I can only be a good husband, who will be very fair, but my heart belongs to Dina. Both my wives know that."
Zumi nodded. "Educate my grandson so that he has a good person. He's his son obedient just he's a little wayward. That's all."
Vishnu took a deep breath. Actually, he was very heavy to accept all this. But he was also unable to refuse the request of the old man who was in front of him.
"This is a picture of my grandson." Zumi puts up a photo of Naura.
Vishnu took the photo. He's surprised. The girl's face was somewhat similar to Dina Anjani's. It was just that the girl's hair looked longer and bushy, and somewhat wavy. Unlike Dina's straight hair. Vishnu felt he had seen this girl but he forgot where.
"How old is your grandson, sir?"
"19 years. One month later, he will be 20 years old. So if Vishnu's son agrees, I want his wedding to be held on Naura's birthday."
"Naura's name?" Vishnu became interested to hear the name.
"Yes. Naura Kiana Bragmanto Princess. He's an only child."
Vishnu looked at Zumi. "Our age is 10 years away. Will he not refuse?"
"Maybe at first refuse. But he'll take it. I hope Vishnu son can be a little patient with his potent nature. He can also lead her to adulthood.
"alright. I will accept this match. But let me still give the correct dowry as I give to my two wives."
Zumi smiled as she endured the pain in her chest. He only wished that he could last another month.
****†*****
'Married? Grandpa, I don't want to!" Naura refused it.
"He's a good man, Naura. He will be very fair to you, just like his other wives."
Naura's eyes widened. "So that guy already has a wife? Grandfather, can you hand me over to a striped-nose man who is never satisfied with one woman? How many times will I be made a wife?"
"Third!"
"What??" Naura kicked the chair that was in front of her. "How old is he?"
"30 years. And after marriage, you'll live with him in the village."
"30 years? Is that not too old for me? Grandpa, I don't want to be the third wife. Especially having to live in the village. Grandpa, I don't want to. I have someone I like." Naura started crying. I really hope his grandfather will be pitying but it doesn't seem to be.
"Grandfather can't trust you to another man. Grandpa...., ah...." Zumi held her stomach. His face immediately looked pale.
"Grandfather?" naura shouted and immediately ran to hug her grandfather before the old body fell to the floor.
**********
"Cancer gut?" Naura almost fell from a fainting spell when she heard the explanation of Doctor David who was their family doctor.
"You don't know, really? Your grandfather's been suffering from this disease for 3 years."
Naura's tears fell. Naura is not a bad girl. But if it was about his grandfather, Naura was always weak.
"Doctor, how's Grandpa doing?"
"So, am I going to lose grandfather?"
"That's possible. I'm not the God who can determine everything." doctor David patted Naura on the shoulder before leaving the girl in front of Zumi's treatment room.
Naura peeked out from behind the door. He did not dare to go inside. The fear of losing his grandfather now made him tremble. Naura is not ready. He won't even be able to. In the past, when both parents died in an accident, Naura remained strong because of her grandfather. But now, if his grandfather really left, would he be strong?
Naura's tears were flowing down her cheeks. "Grandfather.., don't leave me."
*******
2 days unconscious, Zumi finally woke up again. Naura was very happy.
"Naura, will you please fulfill grandfather's last request? Marry the son of Vishnu. You'll be happy." Zumi held her grandson's hand with a hopeful look in her eyes.
Be happy? How can I be happy to be a third wife? What will my friends say? How can I get along with his other wife?
"Naura, let grandfather die quietly."
Naura shakes. "Grandfather, don't leave me. How could I live without my grandfather?"
Zumi stroked her grandson's face. "There is nothing in this world eternal. There will come a time when life has to end. That's why grandfather would leave peacefully if you were married."
Naura took a deep breath several times. "Alright, cake. If it makes grandpa happy"
Zumi could not help his taste. There was clear water dripping on his cheeks. And that made Naura's heart even more hurt.

Lisa, who was playing with her nanny, immediately ran and hugged Vishnu with a happy face. "Dad.....!"
"Hallo pretty?"
Lisa gives one kiss on Vishnu's cheek making the man smile happily.
From the inside, Regina and Indira appear. The two wives of Vishnu were deliberately called to his main house to talk about his marriage. Regina did have her own house, so Indira was bought her own house by Vishnu.
"What did you call us here?" regina asked after the three of them sat in the living room and Lisa returned to play with her nanny.
Vishnu looked at his two wives in turn. They both have the same beauty. "Mas is getting married again."
Regina and Indira looked at each other with shocked faces. They did not think after so many years of living in peace, there would now be one more woman. Especially Regina. She was jealous of her husband's wishes. But what else? He and Indira also knew how Vishnu married them. Therefore, the two women always compete to please Vishnu and become women who will always be visited by Vishnu.
"Who are you, mom?" ask Indira.
"With the wrong grandson of my co-worker. Her name is Naura Kiana Bragmanto Putri. I hope you can accept him as your brother. I don't want any fights or anything."
"How much is it, ma'am?" Ask Regina.
"19 years, uh but soon he'll be 20." Vishnu was rather surprised when Zumi called him this morning and asked that his marriage be accelerated by 2 weeks. Actually Vishnu wants to carry out his marriage in the village where he cultivated his business as well as he wants to get closer to the community there. The Zumi plantation that Vishnu bought was located adjacent to the plantation that Vishnu had been cultivating all this time. They belong to the same village, only Zumi's property is in the mountains located far from the settlement. Zumi's house was also not finished renovated so Vishnu had to ask Gading to increase the number of builders. Therefore, Vishnu finally decided that the Kabul ijab and a small celebration after that will be carried out in this house only. Because Zumi himself said that his grandson did not want his marriage to be carried out on a large scale.
Hearing the age of women who will become their honey makes the two wives of Vishnu increasingly disliked. They could immediately imagine that the woman was a matre woman who seduced their husband with her young body.
"When's the wedding, ma'am?"
"3 more days. That's why I hope you helped me in preparing for this wedding. There are not many guests I invite. Only the families from Bandung are not up to 10 people and some important staff in the company." Vishnu also stood up. He left his two wives and headed to his room on the 2nd floor. Both Vishnu's wives had their own rooms on the 1st floor.
Regina and Indira who have always looked familiar despite storing embers in the hearts of each look at each other.
"We have to be careful, brother." Regina.
"Yes. We have to make the woman feel uncomfortable and finally choose to leave. She had to feel the discomfort of having to be a third wife." Said Regina with a look of dislike.
*********
No tears came out of Naura's eyes when she was dressed. Jeslin who stood not far from her was unable to speak because he felt that his best friend looked very beautiful and sweet. Since last night, Jeslin chose to sleep with the girl. He tried to comfort Naura.
Since 6 am, Naura has been asked by her grandfather to take a bath. Since yesterday, there are kebaya, a very beautiful cellop model, and some headdresses sent by the prospective groom. Actually their emissary requested that last night Naura just sleep there. But due to his grandfather's health, Naura still sleeps in a simple house prepared by his grandfather to him.
"As a wife, you must obey your husband, serve him well and never refuse him. Always ask permission if you have to go and go home before your husband comes home first. Don't embarrass your grandfather and your parents? Our family is known as a polite family and knows the order of the Krama."
His grandfather's message continued to ring in Naura's ears. That girl resigned. Especially when the pickup car comes and is ready to take her to her husband's house to carry out the Kabul hijab.
As the car enters a large yard, Naura suddenly remembers Satria. His first love never came. Bye Satria's. Naura said her heart and stepped down as the car door opened.
Well, how did Naura react when she saw her future husband?
