The Successor of the President

Episodes 15.

"A, Hanna. It's delicious!" Alden closed his eyes, enjoying Hanna's hand massage on his shoulder.

His solid routine plus a day of serving Hanna's relatives makes Alden's body tired and achy, he uses Hanna to slightly relax his body.

"More hard!" pinta Alden's.

Irritatedly Hanna added to her strength, massaging Alden's shoulders as she continued to grumble, her beautiful face growing sour and bent. Again he could not resist Alden's coercion, the man said this was a punishment because Hanna had dared to flush it.

"Easy, huh? My hands are tired!" lamented Hanna.

"A little more, the time stops fitting again delicious," said Alden did not know himself.

Hanna clucked violently, it felt like she wanted to hit Alden on the head until the man fainted so that he could stop following all his orders.

"Therefore don't make me upset if you don't want to be punished," continued Alden.

"What kind of punishment is this?" hanna protest.

"Have enjoyed it, don't protest too much" Alden replied lightly.

"What is there to enjoy? The one with my hand is aching now," Hanna was upset.

"Later you can hire a masseuse to massage your hands."

Hanna snorted, it was hard talking to Alden. Let alone to win, a draw is difficult. Finally Hanna was silent, she kept massaging Alden's shoulders with a cocky feeling.

But it seemed like the universe was being kind to Hanna and wanting to save her from Alden's oppression, her phone lying on the nightstand suddenly rang loudly.

"My phone sounds, I want to see first. Who knows how important." Hanna stopped her massage and ran closer to the flat object.

Alden no longer held her back, and let Hanna stop her massage.

Hanna was stunned when she saw the writing on her phone screen.

Niko ....

It's been a long time since the incident that night, Niko never contacted or saw him again, even her little friend was never seen.

"Why not answer?" alden asked in astonishment as Hanna stared at the phone in her hand that kept ringing.

Hanna stared at Alden, "Yes, this is to be answered."

Hanna swiped the green button on her phone screen and the call was connected.

"Hello, Nik," Hanna said a little awkwardly.

"I heard you're married, huh?"

Hanna was suddenly nervous, let alone Alden continuing to look at her, "I-iya, but it was just a simple party. So it's just family, so I didn't invite you."

"It's okay. I also definitely wouldn't have come if you had invited."

Hanna is speechless, she knows Niko is angry and disagrees with her marriage to Alden.

"Han, I can only congratulate you, may you be happy with your choice."

"Thank you, yes, Nik," Hanna replied in a trembling voice, for some reason she felt sad to hear Niko's words.

"Then I close first."

Niko immediately cut off the phone without waiting for Hanna to return her words.

Hanna was stunned while pulling her phone away from her ears, Alden who saw Hanna's sad expression was curious.

"Who's on the phone?"

"Niko," Hanna answered briefly.

Alden thought for a moment and then remembered something, "Oh, your girlfriend?"

Hanna immediately glanced at him cynically, "How many times should I say? She's not my girlfriend, we're just friends!"

"But he seems to like you."

"You're so fucking know!" hanna's lips that were upset to hear Alden's chatter, he put his cell phone on the nightstand and rushed into the bathroom.

Alden glared in disbelief, "Hey, your punishment is not finished yet!"

"Super stupid! I'm gonna take a shower!" hanna shouted from the bathroom.

Alden grinned, "Basic bad girl! Watch out!"

"Open the door!"

"What do you want?" ask Hanna to panic.

"Just open it! Or I'm breaking down" Alden threatened.

"Don't fuck around! Or I'll scream, let an inn come here." Hanna threatened Alden.

"try it! I'm not scared!" challenge Alden, he then broke down the door slowly, suddenly making Hanna scream in the bathroom.

"Alden, crazy! Bawdy!"

Alden laughed out loud, he was satisfied to have succeeded in tempting his wife. He was just joking, but Hanna took it seriously.

After he stopped laughing, Alden sat on the edge of the bed and turned on his phone which he accidentally turned off last night. There were dozens of messages and notifications of missed calls coming in, Alden opened and read them one by one.

A smile immediately rose on his lips, and he immediately contacted Jojo.

***

This morning the entire business world was excited by the news of Alden's wedding held behind closed doors in Bali. Because the wedding photos taken by Jojo yesterday deliberately spread the man according to his plan, some colleagues immediately send congratulations to Alden. This clearly breaks the rumor that Alden is not married because he was dumped by his lover.

Jojo flinched when the phone in his hand suddenly shook and then rang loudly.

Mr. Alden calling ....

The man with glasses quickly answered.

"Hello, sir."

"Our plan was a success, Jo!"

"Yes, Sir. People believe it's Miss Raline" said Jojo.

"So soon the damn gossip will be gone and my good name will be saved."

"Really, Sir. Now we just have to wait for Miss Raline and her family to open their voices" said Jojo.

"Yes, let's see what he and his family will do."

In a different place, Raline was crying sobbing, she stared at Alden's wedding photo with nanar. Just now Raka showed him the painful news.

"Are you going to clarify and refute all that?" ask Raka.

Raline shook her head as she wiped the tears on her cheek, "No, leave it alone."

Raka frowned in surprise, "Why?"

With wet eyes, Raline looked at Raka, "I've caused her good name to be broken so she's considered a loser by others, so just consider this my apology. If I can't make her happy with love, at least I've saved her with my name."

"But it will hurt you, Raline! Aren't you afraid all of this is gonna ruin your life?" sumpul Raka is anxious to see Raline so foolish as to let her name get carried away in Alden's marriage.

"What else should I be afraid of? My life has even ended since breaking up from him" said Raline Pilu.

"Don't talk like that! You must keep the spirit to live."

"My spirit is no more, Ka. So let all this go!"

Raka rubbed her face and sighed resignedly, "Alright, if you don't want clarification. But what about your mom and dad?"

"I'll ask them to shut up. But I guess they won't care, for them business and possessions are more important than me." Raline bowed sadly.

Raka felt concerned, "Don't talk like that! They must care about you."

Raline did not reply, she just fell silent withstanding the pain that had invaded her heart when she remembered that she had been ignored all this time.

"But in hindsight it's weird too, huh? How could Alden's wife look like you? To the extent that everyone thought it was you," Raka's lick suddenly, she wanted to divert Raline's grief from her parents' attitude.

Raline immediately looked up to Raka, she forgot about it because she was so devastated and sad over Alden's marriage.

"You're like identical twins" Raka continued.

Raline turned to look at the photo of the woman beside Alden, they were indeed similar. For a moment Raline suspected, was Alden deliberately looking for a woman similar to him because he had a certain intention? But who's that woman? Why are their faces so similar? Can't be if they are twins?

Because as far as Raline knows, she is the only daughter of the Adiwiyata family.
