The Love Struggle of Young CEOs

Chapter 15

"Woy breng**why do you hug Ica" a male voice sounded rude, and Raissa immediately took off her arms.

Darren approaches and hits Al, but Al doesn't retaliate because he feels useless, he turns to Raissa and leaves.

"I'll go home first, if there's anything, wait for me" Al said as he rubbed Raissa's head.

Then he went to walk to his car, timey right in front of Darren he whispered a little and patted Darren on the shoulder.

"Never hurt him"

After Al left the atmosphere there was still tense, Darren had not let Raissa into his apartment.

"Whether you're hugging her, you know if you're my future wife?" Darren slightly snapped at Raissa.

"and I never did, I just kept quiet according to my parents' wishes if it made me feel comfortable, in fact, for several years, none of my treatment could make me comfortable" Raissa bravely fought back, said Darren.

"But our parents have already betrothed each other, you want to make your papa mama disappointed?" yes this is the trick that Darren always uses to defend Raissa.

"As for you, I'm tired of going in, bye" Raissa left Darren alone in the loby of the apartment.

.

After leaving Raissa and Darren earlier, Al was now in his own apartment, he dudu silent on the balcony of the room with a glass of coffee accompanying him, he wanted to release the fatigue in his head, he said, he wants to refresh his brain, he wants to disappear for a moment from reality that is not as he wants. Late at night he just broke his body and fell asleep.

.

Al days passed as usual, what was unusual was his feelings, he still asked, what if for example Raissa's parents still did not allow him to return close to Raissa? Does he still stay on this road? What was the purpose of this success he dreamed of?

Until one month later, just where Raissa's graduation day and her class, including Darren, Caitlyn, Christy, Angga, and Marcel"

Al and Edo are also preparing to be present for different purposes, if Edo only wants to congratulate, then Al is different, Al is different, he wants to re-expose his feelings and ask permission directly in front of Raissa's parents.

After graduation, everyone is busy taking pictures, there is a family meal at the table table that is provided indeed for one family, because it consists of 6 - 8 chairs per table.

Raissa's family and Darren's family sit at 2 tables that are made into one, until now it looks the most spacious table.

Now that Al had reached the entrance, he looked to the left right, until his gaze was fixed on the corner where there were some people sitting around the largest table in the room. Al walks over with his hand carrying a bucket of roses and Raissa's favorite daisy.

"Excuse me auntie, sorry to be late" Al came and greeted Raissa's parents, brother and sister-in-law, with Raissa herself smiling and nodding.

"You who? I didn't invite you to come here" said Papa Raissa.

"I brought Al here pa, 3 days ago we met at the mall and he drove me to the hotel because he brought a lot of stuff" said his brother.

"Let's sit Al , eat first if you haven't eaten" Mama Raissa received it well.

Al gives a bouquet of flowers to Raissa and sits between Raissa and her sister Gilang.

After that Raissa's family and Darren's family continued to chat intensely, Al just kept quiet and listened.

From what he heard, both Raissa's parents and Darren's parents wanted their child to be engaged immediately, so that his status was clear, and did not make people's speculation about both families bad.

"Why if the engagement is carried out when it reaches Indonesia?" Ask Papa Raissa.

"If I agree anyway, as long as the child is also willing" said the woman who may be Mama from Darren.

"I agree ma" Darren said.

"What about Ica, son?" ask Mama Raissa.

"What's the reason you say that?" papa Raissa's tone has started to go up.

"It's not like there's any feelings for Darren, Ica also feels uncomfortable" he replied fearlessly.

"Definitely because this man is you rejecting the request of your parents" Darren began not to accept while pointing at Al.

"What did Darren Raissa say!" snapped Papa Raissa.

"Pa already, don't be too hard to Ica, she might have her own reasons" defended Gilang her brother.

"What's the reason you refused papa's request because of him?" he asked, pointing at Al.

Raissa just looked down not daring to answer.

"Raissa Jab!" Snapped Papa again.

Having been unable to bear to see Raissa being cornered, Al spoke up.

"I apologize in advance if I interfere with this matter, please do not corner Raissa Om, here the victim of all the roots of this problem is Raissa. If you need an answer to what you asked earlier then I will answer as clearly as Om".

"It's your business to interfere with our family matters, Hah.

"My deal is because you guys cornered Raissa that it's not wrong what"

"You don't have to be pretentious to defend Ica, surely because of your incitement, is he not obeying his parents?" darren's sarcasm.

Al smiled cynically "Well, if I wanted to incite already from 4 years ago I would incite Raissa to go against her parents' will"

"What part of you don't realize that Raissa's been depressed all this time? Even I who had only seen him a few times could clearly feel it"

"What do you mean Al?" ask Raissa Gilang's sister.

"this sister, have you ever asked Raissa's will? Have you ever asked about comfort? Have you ever asked about his feelings? I don't think so, do I? Then how can you conclude that Raissa was okay before and like now because I influenced her?" Al stared firmly into the eyes of the people there, he only looked down when he looked into the eyes of Mama Raissa, and smiled only at Raissa.

"I came here to congratulate her on her graduation and engagement plans, I never once had the intention to cancel if it made Raissa happy. To be honest I still have feelings from 4 years ago to now, but I try to be willing if it is the best. But during the month I was monitoring, I felt more and more convinced that Raissa was inappropriate with the less jar man**" Al vented his emotions while pointing at Darren.

"What do you mean to call my son that? I could have reported you on defamation" threatened Mama Darren.

"Please, later also the good name of your own family is tainted. yes no bro**?" he glanced at Sinin Darren.

"What do you mean*?" Darren's starting to feel wrong.
