THE PASSION OF THE CEO

CHAPTER 64. RICO'S BAD FEELING

Rico had just entered his room uneasily. The diamond ring he bought to propose to Deandra fell on the plane, had been searched for but the ring was lost never found. Bad sign, this is a bad sign.

 "Squeaky. Where did the ring disappear? I got on a private plane, the ring fell on the plane. Why can't you meet? What is this sign?"

He grabbed a cell phone on the nightstand. Just now he wanted to contact Yoga, apparently his friend had contacted. Without waiting for long Rico immediately received the incoming call.

“Halo, Any info?”

“Ya, the girl was indeed sold her uncle.”

“Means?”

“Pak Surya received a very large amount of money from a man.  The numbers are fantastic, bro…..Mr. Surya sold the girl to the man. According to the info I got, Mr. Surya has signed a letter of agreement with the man.”

“So she really sold?” Rico choked.

“Iya, brother. Even according to the info I got, the contents of the agreement stated that the girl was bought as private property forever. In essence, the girl's life already belongs to the man who bought her.”

The explanation of Yoga really made him freeze in disbelief. How did this happen? If I wasn't busy working and going abroad, this wouldn't have happened.  Rico rubbed his face rough while looking at his photo together with deandra a few months ago before he left for overseas.

“Deandraaa where are you?” lirih. Remembering the girl he loved that he had taken from a man who became deandra's lover. Now he was frustrated when he found out from Yoga that Deandra was sold by his uncle.

“Who is the guy who bought the girl I can't get either. If you look at all the facts that there seems to be a man that is not a random person, Bro,” said Yoga again.  He had already dug in and searched everywhere for information but he could not get the slightest bit of information about the man who bought Deandra.

“Even the whereabouts of Mr. Surya, the girl's uncle can not be traced.  All access I can't find.  Only one data I obtained, the last location of Mr. Surya was in Singapore, before there he also had a few days in Macau. That's it, it's weird. Only people who have a big influence can do this bro.” said Yoga explained.

“What about his wife? I mean Mr. Surya's wife.  Are they together?” ask Rico.

“There is no data of his wife Diah's mother.  All access was not found, it seems to have been removed. His last location was not traceable at all.”

The explanation he had just heard from Yoga made him even more confused and dizzy.  Why would an uncle sell his own nephew? Is surya in debt? Then, why didn't deandra contact me and tell me? If he told me everything, I definitely wouldn't let that happen. Sold? Oh, geez.

He slammed his phone into bed. Rico went into the bathroom in his room and flushed his body to calm the anxiety of his heart. “Try going to Singapore who knows you found it there, it could have been sold to the casino or-my advice at least you can find the answer if you can find Surya there.” remembered the greeting Yoga before ending the talk. 

There is no harm in me looking there, if I can meet Mr. Surya then I will find the whereabouts of Deandra. But I can only go there after Verrel's wedding.  Rico grabbed his phone and called someone.

...*...

Andini sat leaning on her bed while staring at her phone.  See news about Verrel's wedding. Her heart ached and became angry when she learned that the first child of her husband's first wife was to be married.  A shadow of past events appeared before him.

“What's wrong with you, ma? From earlier your face was gloomy.” asked Amran to his wife and sat beside Andini who was still silent like she did not hear her husband's words.  The sound of the woman breathing a long sigh made Amran understand if his wife was having thoughts.

“Ma, why? Is there anything you want to tell me?”

“It's about Rico.”

“Why with Rico?”

Andini turned her head to the side and looked at her husband without blinking.  His face was crumpled and pias was not as usual.  He seems to have no spirit at all.

“Pa, Do you agree if you betroth Rico and Iva his daughter Baratha sir?” with a sad face melted while shedding crocodile tears.  Indistinct flattery came out of his mouth, irritated and angry at a girl he did not know at all.  Just because Rico said that he already had a lover from an ordinary family, made him swear at the girl. 

Never before did Rico refuse his mother's request, he always obeyed whatever Andini's request. But Rico had rejected his mother's desire to match him on the grounds that he already had a lover and would marry his lover. He even had a debate with his son.

“Oh. So this is about Rico's matchmaking?” amran asked, which Andini answered with a nod.

“Have you talked to Rico?” patting his thigh asked his wife to sit on his lap.  This is how Amran's attitude persuaded his wife that Andini put a frown.

Andini again shed tears while shaking her head. Pretending to cry is her ultimate weapon to attract her husband's sympathy.  “Pa, can you talk to Rico about her wedding?”

Amran assented “Iya, can. Papa's gonna talk to Rico. Papa make sure the boy won't turn down.”

Feeling victorious, both of Andini's hands coiled her husband's neck and kissed the middle-aged man's lips affectionately.

“Why do you want Rico to get married as soon as possible?” asked Amran who actually felt a little surprised by his wife's desire to urge Rico to get married as soon as possible.

“Hemm. Iva her daughter sir Baratha she loves Rico.” Andini said smilingly.

“Really?”

“Iya, Pa. Mom asked Iva. He also wants to be betrothed to Rico.”

“Then Papa will talk to Rico as soon as possible.”

“Ahh. Mama dear same papa.”

...***...

“What? Do you have a boyfriend?” ask Andini to her son.

“Iya, ma and I will marry her.” Rico replied.

“Which businessman's son? What's her parents' name?”

“He's not a businessman's son, ma. His father was just a teacher. Both his parents are gone.” replied Rico origin because he never knew the work of deandra's father.

“Gosh! What's in your brain is Rico? How can you date a lower class?” the woman couldn't believe Rico's words.

“It was wrong? I love her, ma. I promised her I'd marry her.”

“ENOUGH! Pekik Andini's. His eyes glittering full of anger “Enough Yes Rico. I don't want to have a daughter-in-law from the bottom. Forget the girl and marry the rich businessman's son.  Mama has a choice.”

Rico only fell silent after his mother left with emotion. Even Andini did not care about the call of her son.  “Love? Huh...is he able to live well with love? How could he love a lowly woman? I won't let it. Rico has to marry the rich girl of my choice.

I'm gonna find out who that girl Rico meant. I made sure the girl would leave Rico and I taught the lowly woman a lesson.
