More questions sounded like forced advice left Andre a little astonished.
“Why suddenly discuss the Acceleration” class, he said in his heart. Although in fact, he had been thinking about it for the past few months. His reason? There was nothing special, only that he wanted to get done quickly, and could enjoy more time relaxing before his father would drag him into corporate affairs which would take time, thought, and time, and raga.
“Calm down, mama does not want to tell you to quickly continue the position of your father,”, said Andre's mother who saw a frown on Andre's forehead.
“Indeed why if I finish normal 3 years?” Andre then asked because Sedkit wanted to satisfy the curiosity in him about the reason his mother told him to take Acceleration classes.
“Nothing, it's just, the sooner you finish it will be better. Even better if you get S2 before the age of 25. So it can be a plus in front of investors and the board of directors,”
“But instead it's our family's exclusive right about who's the next company leader?”
The answer to his mother doesn't make much sense to Andre. Moreover, as long as they have been, their company has never plunged into an IPO. And also, as he recalled, through his habit of sometimes eavesdropping, or accidentally reading some papers while tidying up his father's office,—80% of the company's shares are still controlled by their families.
“Our company now is not that simple. And even if we have such exclusive rights. Still, the opinions and loyalties of the Directors are important. And the way to earn their trust, in addition to money, is certainly with the expertise of the leader himself. In this case, you,” explained his mother.
“Change, let me think first,” Andre replied while walking away about to leave the room. He was indeed eager to take the Acceleration class that was always said by many to be a special elite class of people with the best intelligence.
Before entering SMA M, Andre had decided unanimously to try to get into a class dubbed the people who failed to survive there as, ‘class hell’. But, her unanimous decision slowly eroded as time went on, especially after dating Yunita.
I don't know, in his heart like a sense of wanting to graduate with Yunita, enjoying prom night together, attending graduation events together. Everyone wants to do it with Yunita. No wonder Dimas and Brandon often call it ‘bucin level acute’.
“Dan, you can stop telling Dimas or Brandon to investigate how Yunita became an artist,”, said Andre's mother, just as Andre was about to press down the doorknob he already held.
His mother's words surprised Andre, he would never have guessed that his mother would say such things bluntly. What is clear, his mother's words are like a confession that is subtly hidden.
“So, everything that happened in the past is not enough also yes ma?” said Andre, releasing his hand from the doorknob and turning and looking at his mother who was tidying his father's table.
Whether or not he would be able to look at his mother in the same way again as before or not after he came out of this room, Andre muttered in his day. Moreover, after the actions of his mother in the past that almost destroyed the lives of others.
“You mean?”
Seeing his mother who did not even look at him even though he brought up the incident, made Andre quite furious until he clenched his hands so strong that his veins had stood out.
“Does mom have to get there like that? To attract someone like Yunita to our world? Do you know how people will look at him later?”
Andre's words were not without reason. Mealinkan, because she had already seen firsthand how the people in her school looked down on Yunita when they were caught courting. It was new in the school environment. And do not go far, his grandfather from his father just looked down on Yunita by introducing another girl even though there was Yunita.
And with Yunita becoming an artist, it would make it easier for these people to pressure Yunita because an artist is very vulnerable to scandal. And, it only took a small scandal to destroy Yunita.
“Quiet, he won't be treated that way. And hence, you need to finish S1 as soon as possible in order to secure Yunita's position next to you and protect her. When you're done, you can take a 2-year break. Whether it wants to open a business, take a walk anywhere, whatever, mama will charge everything. How?”
At this stage, Andre admitted that the way his mother negotiated was quite great. Because at first, he thought that he could rest the longest was 1 year, before finally having to start learning to manage his father's company. And, his mother's offer that came with such a lucrative period of time made him a little shaky with his stance.
After all, his mother's words did not hurt. Come to think of it, he must come out of the shadows of his parents. It was the only way that people would not look one eye at themselves.
And, after making a strong foundation for himself, he, then he could also protect Yunita—or at least make people a little reluctant to mess with the two of them—until Yunita was quite used to the disgusting views of people who liked to look down on others.
Returning to the living room, Andre saw Yunita and Aunt Ranty look more familiar, it made him a little relieved. He was a little worried that the atmosphere would be a little awkward when left earlier. But, given the nature of Yunita who is very friendly and easygoing, he believes that Yunita can adjust quickly to the nature of Aunt Ranty who is rather chatty and cool.
“You guys chat what the hell is inside? Long time ago,” Aunt Ranty began to grumble when Andre and his mother came back and was about to sit on the sofa,
“Ah that, just discuss their vacation plans doang, while there are some documents that must be signed,”
Seeing as the response from his mother, Andre quite understand why his mother was called No.1 lawyer among lawyers. Calmness and emotional control. His mother, arguably quite great at separating emotions and keeping what can be talked about and should not. His mother's face that always looked calm made him look very mysterious and unpredictable.

After lunch with—at his mother's initiative—and felt there was nothing else important to talk about. Andre, along with Mr. Bui then drove Yunita home. On the way, Andre again thought whether the decision he took was right or not.
“It turns out your mother is smart to cook huh?” said Yunita who was seen continuing to look at the box containing food cooked by Andre's mother.
“Why? Cute?” andre asked: because he had eaten his mother's masaka too often every day, he felt nothing special.
“Yes is. Exactly the same restaurant cuisine, even though I saw earlier ngak use flavoring at all,” Yunita reply.
Most people are quite surprised to find out about Andre's mother who cooked the same without using MSG at all. Andre's mother is one of the people who are very anti with the name MSG, due to the many people who say MSG can make people become stupid or cause cancer.
Well, although actually all of that has been refuted through medical research. However, because it has become a habit, it continues to be done by his mother.
“What about your drama web project? Is there a schedule for filming?” Andre asked.
Actually, he really wanted to advise Yunita not to be an artist, but to be stopped because she did not have the heart with Yunita's struggle that seemed to be serious.
“Hm, maybe march he said just filming. But crazy too, huh? Just starting, I immediately got a supporting role, not a small role first,”
“Yes, my mother's sponsor. How could PH people argue. Can be withdrawn all sponsorship funds,” said Andre in his heart, “Ya good dong then, means they see something in you, or.” Andre held his chin and looked at Yunita closely from top to bottom.
“Or what?” yunita asked, who was now crossing her hands in front of her chest.
Seeing Yunita's behavior, Andre thought of teasing Yunita. He then moved forward until Yunita was cornered and could not stay away anymore; then approached her ear and whispered “They were only interested in your beauty,” whispered while slightly blowing on Yunita's ear.
Seeing Yunita's face flushed red just due to such light temptation, made Andre recall with Dimas' words. “The woman will be more easily blushed and provoked his lust if in front of the person he loves.” Fortunately, they were both in the car and there was Pak Budi in front. I don't know what Andre would do to Yunita if they were alone. Moreover, Andre's mind now had drifted a little everywhere. (Learn yeah, his name's a boy)
“Hah, next time,” murmured Andre in his mind.
Actually, she wanted to ask Yunita to consider once again the matter of wanting to become an artist. According to Andre, there are many ways to make money without having to sell privacy. Maybe a Youtuber? Or selebgram?. Bad thinking about how the obstacles that Yunita will face in the future always cross Andre's mind. Not negative thingking, but can not be denied if the job as an artist is one job that requires mental steel because it has to face the spotlight of various people.
He, Andre, could only hope that his mother would actually keep her word to keep Yunita from ever falling into the abyss of scandal that always lurks. Especially from people in his company who want the destruction of their families in order to take over the company.
