THE PASSION OF THE CEO
BAB185. WINDMILL COUNTRY
The air began to feel cold, September began to enter autumn. One of the houses in Hillegersberg in the Dutch city of Rotterdam saw Iva breastfeeding her child while sitting near the window looking out. The front yard of the house there is a garden with colorful tulips, a two-story house with a modern Dutch design that is inhabited by only three people. The woman gave birth to a son a week ago. The baby was named Riva Marcelino, his face was very similar to Rico's.
“Kak Rico, our son is born. His face is very similar to yours, all my longings are taken care of every time I look at our son's face. Hope you're okay there, brother. I still love you.” His tears dripping down his face. Ever since she and her mother decided to move to Holland to forget Rico, the more she tried to forget him, the more she missed him. The man who was serving the sentence for fifteen years even to this day did not know the reason why Iva never visited him again.
“Why cry Iva?” asked his mother when approaching Iva who was daydreaming while crying.
“Eh...it's okay mama.”
“You miss Rico?”
“Hiks....hiks....hiks. Is it wrong if Iva still misses him?”
The woman's hand stroked the daughter's back just like her, she understood how her daughter felt let alone already having a child with Rico. No matter how bad the man was the father of his granddaughter.
“Nothing wrong dear. Be patient, remember now there is Riva who is your responsibility. If fate reunites you with Rico, it means you are a match but think about your future. Mama and papa are getting older, someday you will take over Baratha Group.”
“Iva tau, mom. If you can, I want to continue S2 here.”
“That's great, mama agrees. You can wait until Riva is one year old, mama will help take care of him while you are in college.”
“Iya, mom. Thank you for always supporting Iva. It feels like I sinned once to disappoint mom and dad.”
“Don't talk like that, honey. All this is the destiny that must be lived, so that you are more mature and strong in facing the future life. Mama hope someday you can open your heart to others and find someone who loves you.”
“Ma....for a while I do not want to be in a relationship with anyone. Rico made a big mistake but I still love him.”
“Open your eyes and mind Iva! Do you want to wait until fifteen? Don't be crazy Iva! Your life is still long to live.”
“Do not force Iva! I can't forget Rico.”
“Already! Mama's dizzy talking to you, I don't know when your brain is right. Don't let papa know about it you can scold your papa all out. If you really want to go to college again, you better just focus on college.” said the woman was upset and left her daughter.
“I'll continue my studies. When the time comes I'll take my son back to my homeland and see Rico. He has the right to see his son.” Iva muttered while looking at his son's face.

“Is papa sure to sell everything and return to Indonesia?” ask Darma to his father-in-law.
“Iya. Papa wants to spend his old age with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. If we sell all the papa companies and properties in Europe, the money will not run out of seven derivatives. Deandra and my great-grandson can enjoy the money, you just focus on taking care of the company in Indonesia. Don't push yourself too hard, you're not young anymore. Years of your time wasted, now you can spend time with your children and grandchildren, just like papa. We can go golf with Yahya. If you're bored, maybe you can start thinking about remarrying.”
“No, pa. I don't want to get married anymore, I love Berliana forever. Nothing will replace him in my heart. Reuniting with Deandra has been able to treat my longing for my late wife.” said Darma with a blank look. He swore he would never marry again after the death of his wife.
“Alright if it's your decision. Let's get some food first, how about we go to Van De Leur's restaurant or you want to eat at Sate Lounge?”
“As for papa, just want to eat where the important food is good.”
“Then we go to Van De Leur only.” Viktor said. The two men enter a black car that takes them to Viktor's restaurant. Thirty minutes later they arrived at the destination restaurant, at the corner-most table and somewhat covered by the ornamentation of plants already seated lawyer Viktor who was ready with some documents requested. “Sorry Jade has made you wait.” said Viktor “You still remember Darma, don't you?” while introducing Darma to Jade. Jade is Viktor's lawyer who has worked with him for years. The man was ten years younger than Viktor.
“Happy to meet you Mr. Darma.” says Jade salutes Darma.
“Mr Viktor here are all documents of sale of shares of your company, try to check if it is appropriate. They have also transferred the money to your account.”
“Iya, Thanks Jade. I have received the money. This is a check for you, as a thank you to you who has worked for me for so long.” said Viktor thrust a large cheque that made the lawyer's eyes sparkle.
“Mr Viktor isn't this too much? You've been so good to me and my family all this time.” Jade said. For him Viktor is his family, the man has helped Jade's career so much that he can become one of the famous lawyers in the windmill country.
“That's nothing compared to your sacrifice all along Jade. Me and my son-in-law will return to our country, if you have time to spare come visit me there. I'm old and want to spend my time with family.”
“I promise I will definitely come visit you, Sir. Your decision to sell the company and all your property is right. Family is much more important, after all your total wealth can very much guarantee the life of your grandchildren and great-grandchildren later.”
The three men engaged in business-related conversations and other things. Viktor was relieved, he was finally able to retire and spend the old days with his great-grandson. His decision to sell all his property was right. He left only a large house in Amsterdam, the one he had bought as a wedding present for his wife. He had no intention of selling the house and passing it on to Deandra. A large house with a classic design and a spacious courtyard located in the elite Bloemendaal area in the city of Amsterdam. Viktor bequeathed the mansion to his grandson Deandra Ailsie who had the same name as Viktor's wife. “I used to buy the house as a gift for my wife Deandra Ailsie and now the house I left to my granddaughter Deandra Ailsia who was named after her grandmother. I will ask my grandson to take a vacation and stay at the house later.” Viktor told Darma.
