Aletta just dropped out of class after the Introduction to Business course. His phone vibrated with the name "my dad" on his phone quickly he shifted the green button on the screen.
"Assalamualaikum pa"
"Waalaikumsalam dear, are you busy?"
"No, Al just finished pa class, he wants to go home"
"Can you ask for help, son?"
"What pa?"
"Can you go to papa's office now?"
"Yes you can"
"You are here, son, wait. Hearts on the road. Assalamualaikum"
"Yes pa, Waalaikumsalam" Aletta frowned confusedly, "tumben papa sent to the office" Aletta who was curious immediately ordered a taxi online

Aletta arrived at the papa's office after a journey of nearly an hour.
"Good afternoon, Aletta" said one of the security people who knew Aletta while opening the door
"Prince Mr. Karim" Aletta replied kindly
The girl entered the skyscraper belonging to her family, Gemilang Group. A hereditary company that has stood for almost half a century, who is not familiar with Gemilang Group, the largest import-export company in Indonesia.
Aletta went straight into the elevator to the top floor where her papa throne was.
"Hi mbak Anggi, is there papa?" Aletta asked her father's assistant and personal secretary once she got there
The 35-year-old smiled kindly, "just go in. Mbak, you have a hard time waiting."
Aletta nodded, "thank you"
The girl approached the door that read 'Main Director' knocked on it several times and entered after hearing a voice from within.
"Hi, pa"
Ferdi, who was struggling with the file, distracted him, "honey.."
Aletta sat down on one of the chairs in front of the papa's table, "what's the matter? What do you want to ask for help?"
"To the point is great. Why are you busy? Any appointments with girlfriends?" search Ferdi
"Isa... Papa, Al tuh nanya gini because tau papa is very busy so go straight to the point."
"Really? Not because you want to meet your boyfriend?" Ask Ferdi
"Benefit father Aletta ain't got no boyfriend pa"
"Well, what a pretty daddy's son doesn't have a girlfriend?" Ferdi was teasing his daughter
"That means Aletta is not beautiful pa, the proof is that no one wants to be Aletta's boyfriend" he said with a sigh
"Haah!! You are beautiful, dear, very beautiful. They don't want to be your girlfriend but they feel inferior to you." Said Ferdi while patting his daughter's hand, "papa sure someday there will be a man who immediately came to ask permission to papa to make you his wife, his wife, sincere men love you and will take care of you"
"Aami... I've been talking about a soul mate. Going back to the main topic, what would you like to ask Aletta for help?"
"Papa wants to start from now on you learn to handle papa's company"
Aletta had expected this to happen. The day Ferdi asked him to jump right in to help him take care of the company as their agreement was.
The flashback
5 Years ago
Just where the two girls were still wearing gray-white uniforms. Alea and Aletta who are teenagers want to be like children his age can be free and achieve.
That night the two ventured to ask their parents and Princess Eyang for permission to pursue their dream of becoming an altet.
"What's? So Athletes??" The voice of Eyang began to rise
"I-iya Eyang." Alea said nervously
Eyeang pinched his forehead, his head ached as soon as he heard the request from his grandson who wanted to become an Athlete. He did not mind if his two grandchildren wanted to achieve academic and non-academic achievements is very good, he said, he did not mind if indeed they wanted to become athletes but this did not fit his mind.
He was made to ride blood when he heard Alea wanted to become a National racing athlete and Aletta wanted to become a professional martial arts altet. It was true beyond his expectations that he thought his two grandchildren were as gentle as he had always taught them.
"But it's a male profession, boys, you're girls.." Who no longer knows what to say
"Eyang, please. This time we have a chance . We promise we won't play Eyang, papa tama mama" Aletta put on her face
"Crazy loe by the way is not filtered first, but all the same will to surrender unconditionally." The Brief of Aletta
"What is important is that we get Al's permission, after all our lives are also always and must obey the same will Eyang." Alea replied
Aletta exhaled, which her brother said was true. Maybe all his life he will continue to follow the wishes of the grandmother.
"Alright, everyone give permission on condition whenever anyone asks you to stop and focus on taking care of your company should not refuse it." Speak firmly
'well, we promise." Alea Sahut
Flashback off
"Al...Aletta's.." Ferdi patted the back of his son's hand that had just been silent
"Ehhh, yes pa. sorry Al daydreams" said Aletta.
"Papa ga ask you to directly handle everything, papa just ask if you are free occasionally come to the office papa want you to learn slowly so you are not surprised later" explained Ferdi
"Yes pa Al knows what"
"So?"
Aletta nodded resignedly, "yes pa, later after each lecture Al will often go to the office to study."
"Good girl. thank you dear"
"Same pa"
Maybe if I'm busy I don't think too much about doctor Varo, inner Aletta
"Well, papa point at your room" Ferdi immediately got up while embracing his daughter out of the room
*****
Alea was packing her belongings, preparing to go home. she planned to invite Andin to hangout later tonight.
"Hi Lea"
Alea looked over to find Andin approaching her.
"Long your age, I just wanted to call you" said Alea who remembered his plan to take Andin out tonight.
"Call me? Wh why? Tumben?" Cecar Andin because he knew Alea rarely contacted him unless there was a need
"Heheh, don't papa I just want to talk."
"Related?" Search Andin
Alea nodded confidently, "yes, I don't believe you're the same."
"What are you talking about?" Ask Andin who is now sitting next to Alea's bag
Alea scratched her hair, she was confused should she ask about Nathan to Andin. He was afraid his best friend would tease him later.
Ask a question, huh? if I am curious, if I am ashamed Andin will cheat me, in Alea
"For so long Le,.lo want what? About guys?" Andin asked impatiently
"Hmm Ndinh..."
"Yes.."
"Lo's known Nathan for how long?"
Andin was stunned after hearing Alea's question.
"Are you laughing anyway?" Ask a confused Alea
"What do you want about Nathan?" Ask Andin after she stops laughing
"His past..."
"You mean his ex?" Asked Andin who was instantly taken by Alea.
Andin sighed, "as if I were Le, Nathan has a former name Renata. They broke up 2 years ago because Rena cheated on Nathan. Abis broke up Nathan directly abroad to continue his S2 in Malaysia. If you say Angga since then Nathan never had a serious relationship again with a girl."
"Do you mean she's traumatized?"
"It could be said that Le"
Alea sighed, it seemed like the journey he had conquered Nathan's heart was not easy.
