The Love Competition

71 .Hope Mr. Gunawan .

Dila was still fixated, trying to understand the words of Mr. Gunawan who had just spoken clearly . but the almost seventy-year-old man smiled to see his reaction .

" grandfather saw your closeness with Jordi, and I think it's time you forgot about Jidan .we won't be able to continue a story if there's no main character . how can you possibly continue a fairy tale if the main character is gone ? " ask Mr. Gunawan while looking at Dila .

" your eyes once said ..he will feel relieved if you marry an ordinary person, accompanying you who have simple thoughts with a simple life path " mr. Gunawan's words made Dila again round his eyes .

" Eyang said so ? " ask Dila in disbelief .

" indirectly that is what it means " replied Mr. Gunawan .

" but he will also never be able to forbid his grandson from falling in love with anyone, as long as it can make you happy . Grandpa asked, Are you happy now ? " Ask mr Gunawan .

" no no no, you keep lamenting the departure of someone who is unlikely to return .replace your main character for your happy fairy tale to continue .though you may need time to write another story " said Mr. Gunawan gently .

" how can we finish a story that hasn't even started yet ? " Tanya Dila with teary eyes .

" Sometimes.something we have to assume is finished even if it is not . Many people do not even have time to have a fairy tale " replied Mr. Gunawan .

" maybe Jordi has many shortcomings, but kekek believes there is good in him, and grandfather believes you are the right person to make the good in him become more alive . Since hanging out with you he has become a better person " continued Mr. Gunawan .

" but of course all decisions are yours .you deserve the best whoever he is" Mr Gunawan said

Dila just fell silent while looking at Mr. Gunawan's face, his eyes were full of questions .

" is there anything you want to ask ? " ask Mr. Gunawan arrived .

" there is no "answer Dila in a soft voice .

" Grandfather knows you're investigating the stocks that silent grandfather bestows on your behalf ! " The words of Mr. Gunawan made Dila swallow his saliva .

" i'm just returning the debt I borrowed against your "mister Gunawan said with a flat face .

"That you give help when grandfather has fallen . Help that grandfather make the initial capital to start a business . And I want you to also enjoy the results of that business " continued Mr. Gunawan .

" grandfather ..it is not necessary .." said Dila while staring at Mr. Gunawan who looks so calm today .

" receive it as a gift from grandfather . there may be other gifts when grandfather is gone, grandfather hope you can receive it . Grandfather knows it's not enough to repay what you've given me, it's the only way Grandpa knows to repay all his kindness "mister Gunawan speaks in a warm voice .

" and think of the offer of the grandfather who was earlier." he said with a smile .

" be my son-in-law's grandson" he continued, looking at Dila's confused gaze .

" Grandfather...." Dila muttered as she did not know how to behave .

" are there any other men besides Jordi that you might like ? " ask Mr. Gunawan as he walks towards the sofa .

" It's not that..." Answer Dila .

" so what's the problem ? " ask Mr. Gunawan while sitting quietly on the sofa .

" how does grandpa know I'm here ? ' Please switch the conversation .

" You are good at switching the conversation" said Mr. Gunawan with a smile .

" you called Arya and told her how you were, but didn't tell Grandpa at all" Mr. Gunawan's answer made Dila feel even more guilty .

" sorry cake.." he said sadly .

" frankly grandfather is disappointed and sad, however grandfather should know more about your circumstances , because grandfather had promised the late Eyangmu , will take care of you to get a companion for life . but it seems you don't trust grandfather " muttered Mr. Gunawan .

" it's not so cake... Dila did not want grandfather to worry "Say Dila sadly for making Mr. Gunawan disappointed .

" you must seek treatment to the fullest, do not think of anything.Focus on your health .

about the company.., just leave it.Let Jordi take care of it, don't waste your time on anything else, focus on your health " said Mr. Gunawan who was answered nod Dila . Both of them were silent for a moment .

" Let mak Asih stay at home, I will ask Nurdin to send servants to take turns to look after you" said Mr. Gunawan later .

" thank you kek.." replied Dila politely .

" Dila..kakek is old.we do not know the age of someone may arrive grandfather left like Eyangmu . grandfather will be calm if you already have a companion when grandfather left . at least ...one of Grandpa's promises to Eyangmu will be fulfilled if when the grandfather leaves you already have a life companion "Mister Gunawan arrived to speak in a calm tone .

" what grandfather said , grandfather will live happily and long-lived" replied Dila quickly .

" the age of a person we never know for sure " muttered Mr. Gunawan with a blank look .

" bring someone you love, grandfather will make sure you are with someone who loves you all his heart" said Mr. Gunawan with a warm smile on Dila .

" there's nothing like that cake.. Dila was quite happy with the current state of affairs " said Dila while holding a smile .

" if there is no one else, why not with Jordi alone . You also more or less know what kind of character "mister Gunawan back tease Dila .

" are you willing? , Grandpa just ..yah what's wrong with opening the heart? , sometimes love comes because it's used to " said Mr. Gunawan break their silence .

Dila was just speechless, unwilling to discuss something that made his heart uncomfortable, but he also did not want to disappoint Mr. Gunawan .

" honestly, I really wish you could be grandfather's son-in-law's granddaughter, long before grandfather knew the relationship between you and Jidan "mister Gunawan again muttered .

" pardon Dila.but...

" grandfather knows..., but why don't you try it.., try to get to know Jordi more deeply.., grandfather is very sure he also loves you very much, grandfather can see it on his face " mr. Gunawan cut Dila's sentence .

both of them were silent, drifting in each other's minds .

" does your friend know how you are ? " ask Mr. Gunawan for a moment then try to melt the atmosphere that arrived stiff .

" yes.., this afternoon they came "answer Dila while forcing a smile .

They then spoke casually . Soon Mr. Gunawan said goodbye and took Mak Asih home to the big house, but Mak Asih chose to stay at the hospital to accompany Dila .

" Have you gone home ? . Mr Jordi is not back in the office, sir ? " ask Dian with enthusiasm .

" go home.we also want to go home nih.." said Adam who understood why Dian was so excited . he knew Dian was very diligent and obedient , he always comes early and will go home if Jordi and himself have gone home .as a young child, of course, his working hours are very time-consuming .

" thank you sir." replied Dian with enthusiasm .Adam did not care what the girl said, he immediately chased after the figure of Jordi who was talking with a face that had been with him in front of the elevator .

" wait .." cried Adam as the two entered the elevator, and Isabella who saw his figure immediately pressed the button to hold the door from closing .

" Thank you "he said as soon as he got into the elevator, joining Jordi and Isabella .

" Dam between Bella and go home, she didn't bring the car " said Jordi while playing her Handphonenya .

" no need to take a taxi" Isabella said .

" we discuss it tomorrow "answered Jordi who noticed the floor designator screen . shortly the elevator door opened, they had arrived at the lobby . Adam invites Bella to get to his car, while Jordi is busy receiving calls from no one .

" O..., are you okay living with them ? " Ask Adam .

" they are good.I feel like I have parents again "Answer Bella .

" yes Mrs Irma is good, but Tania is a little haughty" Adam said .

" at first I also thought so , but apparently not , she was just a little shy "Bella said while leaning her head against the chair .

" do you seem to know the Gunawan family well ? " ask Adam while watching the heavy traffic before him .

" i'm lucky they think I'm like family, all because I'm Dila's cousin" replied Bella with a knotty smile .

" are you alone? , it looks very familiar with Jordi, you guys are like friends "ask Isabella .

" my father worked for the company, then died in an accident . then the big master paid for my college, he also gave my mother a job 'maybe we know each other since we were teenagers . Ms. Narti is my mother "The story of Adam .

Adam shook his head, his eyes could not be separated from the increasingly jammed streets .

" we must not forever depend on others . I want to be independent, open a simple business and be free from the help of the Gunawan family "Adan replied casually .

" but it's not easy to start something when we don't have what "he continued while laughing .

" this is Life.There are people who are endowed with so many treasures that do not know how to count them, I sometimes laugh when the big master asks "we do have assets there ? , or when do I buy the car? ? , while to have this car alone I have to set aside money every month to install it to the bank " Adam said as he played his finger over the steering wheel of the car .

" yes.you are right ..." said Bella with a laugh .

" you want to stay here ? " ask Adam arrived .

" haven't thought until there , and again the process is quite long " replied Bella while turning her eyes on the mansion they passed through . they have indeed entered the housing complex where the aditya lord lives .

Adam stopped his vehicle in front of a high fenced house, before long the gate was opened .

" It's all right I'll just take you to the gate ? " ask Adam who pulled the car over .

" its okay.usually take a taxi as well.I can not bring a car, actually Mrs Irma told me to use her car" said Bela while opening the seat belt .

" thanks you so much." said Bella as she opened the door and got out of the car .

" You are welcome "answered Adam, waving his hand . he turned his car around and went straight into the gas as soon as he saw Bella enter the gate of the house, and the door closed again .

" aih's...Bella who's with you ? " Ask Mrs Irma who was sitting in the living room .

" Jordi Aunty's assistant" replied Bella while sitting in front of Mrs Irma .

" ah.kok not enter? , aunty cook a lot . people in this house is indeed bored aunty is tired of cooking no one goes home quickly "he complained .

" It's lucky there's you, so Auntie can confide in you "voice lady Irma .

" Sok.. wash your hands first, we eat together "Say then .

" get ready aunt.." replied Bella while laughing, she stepped quickly left Madam Irma who was immediately busy asking Art to heat the food she cooked .

Isabella was surprised to find a dining table filled with many side dishes as she returned to the dining room.There are fish pepes, capcai, squid sambal and not to miss tempe bacem . Mrs Irma was already sitting in waiting for her arrival .

" wah.pesta ni aunty "Say Bella while pulling a chair .

" was going to look at Dila while bringing food, but not because you got news papa to the hospital to visit Dila" replied Mrs Irma .

" So Mr Gunawan already knows ? " Ask Isabella .

" Heem.but he said not angry , Papa now has changed , more calm like .you know Jordi is also more mature now , Dila it is indeed ...." madam Irma gave her two thumbs up .

" the girl was really able to make someone change for the better" he continued while smiling cheerfully .

" let's eat, eat a lot of Bella, you're slim don't have to diet" he said while putting rice and side dishes on his plate .

" yes aunt.." replied Bella while following what Irma did .

they enjoy dinner just two while occasionally telling stories about the variety of Nusantara cuisine . Bella seemed excited to listen to the story of Mrs Irma .

after finishing eating the two were still chatting coolly, while Art was tidying up the table and leftovers .

" you just spend the food, for the front man also Nur " said Mrs Irma to Sang Art .

" thank you, ma'am..often often aja kayak gini, let us eat delicious continue "Answer Nurma while laughing .

Bella and Mrs Irma laughed .

" you know how far Jordi's relationship with Dila has gone ? " mrs Irma suddenly asked .

" I don't know aunty" replied Bella honestly .

" it's frank to follow a heavy ego like releasing Dila for another man, but auntie sure this is the best for Dila . and somehow last night aunty had a weird dream..." Mrs Irma spoke with a sad mimic .

" aunty sees Jidan stuck in a street and can't get out, has she ever promised someone something and hasn't paid for it yet ? " that's what aunty always thinks " said Mrs Irma with sadness .

" people say when we leave this world if there is still a promise that has not been paid, then we will not find the way to God" he continued later .

" Jidan Aunty good person must be many who pray for her kindness" said Bella who saw the sad face of Ms. Irma .

" what do you think because there's something unfinished between him and Dila ? " Task Mrs Irma while looking at Isabella .

" do you mean Aunt ? " Tanya Bella doesn't understand .

" the two hold true to their respective principles, maybe in nature there Jidan regretted preferring to be a soldier rather than Dila . because Auntie knew Dila also regretted not being able to accept Jidan as he is , their relationship is like something unfinished" Mrs Irma said .

" aunty can feel that is the deepest regret of Dila . let all remain unclear until death separates them " Madam Irma wiped away the tears that had arrived to flow just like that from her two eyes .

" Dila the poor ..His sorry feelings must have been very torturous to his heart .he also will not be able to step forward, but will not be able to go back in the past . the regret will continue to haunt her steps . it will be difficult to open her heart "mrs Irma wiped her tears .

Bella got up from her seat and approached Irma's mistress, she patted the woman's back gently .

" i'm sure the two can come to terms with the reality of auntie.., Jidan is already calm in nature, and Dila must be mature enough to start a new page" Isabella said trying to calm Mrs Irma .

" yes. yes.. you are right, you are right "Say mrs Irma while taking a deep breath . they did not realize Tania who had returned home was glued to silence near the dining room while listening to their conversation from the beginning . the girl stepped slowly up one step after another as she pondered over her mother's words .

Tania took a deep breath while putting the bag that had been hanging on her shoulder .The girl closed the door slowly and sat down in front of a study table . He put his face on the table while staring at a portrait of himself and Jidan .

" Aa' ..Is Aa' really gone? ? , Brother Dila... Nia knows she cries a lot . whether Aa' is not kasian . Nia does not want Aa' to lose her....hurry back before her love for Kak Jordi grows bigger . or Aa' wants Kak Dila to open a new page ? , what should Nia do ? " he muttered as he stroked the portrait of Jidan who was smiling warmly at the portrait .

" do we really have to let go of this fate.., "the girl muttered again with tears that began to drip from her two tired eyes .
