The Unexpected Love Journey
ARC II: CHAPTER IV
Yunita and Dimas were choking. They almost spewed out the food in their mouths when they heard Andre's words.
Yunita blushed in embarrassment and could only look down when she saw Andre's mother and Cecilia throwing a flirtatious smile at him as if teasing him.
“M-Me-Married you said?” his father Andre's reaction was unusual because it was very rare to be able to stammer like today.
However, Yunita and Andre could be quite calm. His father Andre's eyes did not show the slightest anger, only purely surprised.
“Iya, I did not hear wrong,” Andre made sure that his father did not hear wrong.
Yunita was quite surprised as well when she saw Andre who could speak with such confidence. On a whim, he tried to hold Andre's hand. She smiled holding back a laugh as she felt Andre's cold hand, a sign that someone was nervous.
“What do you have to support him? Home itself is not there yet,” stressed Andre's father who looks quite serious responding to Andre, such as being making calculations with Andre.
“How come, my house is finished yet mom?” mukas Andre while looking at his mother. Andre's father looked a little surprised when he heard Andre's words and looked at his wife.
“New 90%, the rest of the interior alone, maybe another week or 2 weeks can only be occupied normally,” His mother Andre replied.
“Where do you get money from? Borrow your mother for sure, right?” his father Andre said
“No, remember the investment I managed?” Andre paused for a while before continuing, “Then, before I left, the value was still 1M. But while in the US, I opened an account and bought shares of several companies there while developing a portfolio in Indo also through stocks and property. And before waking up a year ago, there were already 50 or 60M-an,” explains Andre, who made Dimas again choke for the second time.
Hearing such a large number, Yunita could not hide her admiration for Andre. As for Andre's mother, she just smiled looking at Andre, then winked at Yunita.
“Wah, sister is indeed the best. Pantes buy expensive wine like gini very lightly up to 2 seeds anyway,” Cecilia interjected while clapping slowly a few times and then buttoned her thumb to her brother.
“OK, you can get married,” his father said instantly made Andre smile widely, “But, you have to lead a new branch of the papa company until you can survive the negative trend and survive a new year after that you can get married. How?”
Andre seemed to think for a moment. Yunita was a little anxious waiting for Andre's reply, though,
“Ok, I agree,” said Andre accepted his father's challenge and made Yunita smile wide until his face was blushing.
“Eits, wait a minute. You have not announced about your relationship,” chirped his mother Andre amid the excitement.
“Ah, it is being pursued Brandon,” Andre replied.
After saying his wish, Andre felt a little relieved, like something stuck in his heart had been lifted. He actually wanted to say that after he finished his S1 studies and got a double degree.
Moreover, he had also proposed to Yunita first in London while they were on vacation after earning his double title.
However, he chose to postpone it and achieve something even greater as proof to his parents. Because at that time, he also got an offer from one of the lecturers at his campus who suggested he directly continued S2 alone to be considered more prominent and increasingly contested by many companies.

Over the next week, Andre and Yunita began giving hint to many people by wearing various kinds of coupler items in accordance with the idea of Brandon who wanted to light a fire that was small by turning the lighter, little by little.
Starting from a small thing, such as a couple bracelet, then a sweater couple that they wear in a separate place and time, the same type of pet, shoes couple, and so on, until the release of their vacation photos together that were edited so as not to show their faces on IG each.
“Why should we be paparazzi anyway? Bos lu is the heir to the company with the largest valuation in Indonesia. Can't hire what people?” Stefani grumbled as she and Brandon followed Andre and Yunita from behind.
“He just wants the results to be more optimal, understanding a little,” Brandon back nagging Stefani.
Stefani can only shake his head to see Brandon who is too immersed in his character as Andre's secretary.
His reason? Because usually gossip journalists like to go back and forth with pseudonymous accounts on occasional shippers accounts. Not until there, he also uploaded the photos to various gossip forums and some journalists from the media are quite popular with anonymous accounts to heat up the atmosphere.
“How?” as soon as he got in the car, Andre asked.
Brandon raised his thumb, “Beres, a lot of people were immediately excited. His comments were also positive,” Brandon reported everything.
Thanks to the popularity of Yunita, in just 3 days all the media immediately released articles about Yunita and Andre. And, the next few days, without Brandon having to do something, the old video when the announcement of the breakup of Andre and Yunita was back in circulation and became a hot conversation on social media.
“Wah crazy also turns out to be your popularity,” said Andre when he and Yunita were on their way to his new home to see where the progress was.
All of you also to give feedback to the Interior Designer that they have agreed to meet directly. He did not expect that the news effect of the two of them would also make his father's company shares rise 3 - 5% in just a few days.
“Yes, he is now a top-class artist and a producer. Definitely dong, of course,” chirped Pak Budi who happened to have come home from US— somewhat later because he had to take care of some of Andre's belongings first which could not be taken in 1 flight— and become the driver again.
“That bet, Yunita's name is ranked 1st most popular search, but the name of our Boss sir is only in the rank of 8,” Brandon agrees with the words of Mr. Budi.
Andre sighed, “Indeed, it seems I can't beat the popularity of our great artist yes,”
“Apaan anyway. It's all thanks to you, too. If your mother hadn't given you that chance just yet, maybe I wouldn't be like this right now,” Yunita denies Andre's words.
She could not forget the services of Andre's mother during her career journey from 0 to what it is today.
“Am I trying to be an artist too? Who knows, with a handsome face, above average intelligence, and a good image, I could be more popular than you, Hon,” Andre.
According to him, memorizing the script rather than the thesis in English so much would be easier, right? Besides, as he just said, all these things he thinks could be his attraction .
“Halah, your dream. Already, just focus on your father's company. Let it be later when you have children, your wife is at home until your child is a little big,” Mr. Budi broke Andre's wishes and advised him.
“Ish,” Andre sneered, “Why are you smiling?” he continued when he saw Yunita who was holding back a laugh while looking at him.
“You are the same Mr Gudi kaya getting more familiar, since abroad? So rich just relax say so,”
“From the beginning it was like this. But indeed, since returning from the US, the fathers in front of this I have considered my own om. And you want to know, there was a silly incident.”.
Mr. Budi who saw the road in front of him a bit empty, immediately stepped on the accelerator deep enough to make Andre and Yunita jerked to shut Andre's mouth, “Awas you yes...” said Mr. Budi with eyes ready to pounce on Andre.
Andre was not angry, and even teased Mr. Budi by putting on his ignorant gaze.
***
Arriving at the location of his new home, Andre was shocked by what he saw. Of the 4 people standing and talking to each other. He saw a woman whose face looked familiar to him, Diana who was talking to some people there.
His voice does sound different, which is natural because the voice does change with age. But the characteristics of Diana's face; a sharp nose, eyes that are slightly wide open, and most make sure, is a mole on the left chin.
Even so, Andre did not want to directly call out his name; just in case he might be wrong. He just kept walking, walked up to the person, and let Yunita keep her arms around.
“Halo,” Yunita greeted first, while Andre was friendly to everyone, except Diana.
“Ah, Mr Andre huh?” greet one of the four people while sticking his hand out. Andre tried to be ordinary, not looking at the woman he thought was Diana, and reply to the person who greeted him. “Include, I am Agus, the three of them are my assistants, Haryono, Wibowo, and Diana,”
