Meeting today is quite draining energy and mind Gian. Some of the projects that Gavels handled were less than satisfactory in the past few months. The meeting went on for quite a long time, until when Gian came out of the Meeting room to his room, the day turned out to be already evening. Inadvertently Gian meets Vanya, while about to enter the elevator.
“Hai, Gi.” Sapa Vanya's.
“What's going on here?” Gian said in response.
“Meeting with his team Om Bayu, to talk about technical investment in my company.”
“Oh. Congrats yes, have passed the pitching and join Gavels.” Gian. They entered the elevator.
“I think will pitching with you.” Vanya said, there were only the two of them in the elevator.
“Om Bayu is more expert at F&B, besides this is a new industry that Gavles handles. Must be the same experienced first.”
“Not because you don't want to see me, do you?”
Gian was silent. Not to dispute or agree to Vanya's questions. Some of them said yes. He doesn't want to deal with Vanya due to unpleasant past events as he attempts to influence his grandparents to match them. The other thing was that Regina was so jealous of Vanya. Managing the Vanya company will only add to the problems associated with Regina.
“I really want to talk to you, it's been a long time.” Vanya.
“Ya please.”
“Ga here, mementin I eat malem. Can?” Vanya said with a smile.
“I have to go home.” Reject Gian.
The elevator clinks and then opens. Gian was just about to step his foot out of the elevator, but Vanya grabbed Gian's arm to stop him.
“I want to ask about grandpa's will.”
Gian looked at the confused Vanya. Clenched both his eyebrows. How did Vanya know about his grandfather's will? Only the Airlangga family and Pak Narta knew of the will from his grandfather.
“Kok you know about grandpa's will?” Gian asked suspiciously.
“Temenin I eat first. Later I'll clearin.”
“Wait in lobby.”
Gian got out of the elevator and walked into his room. While Vanya continued the elevator until getting off in the lobby. He waited for Gian on the sofa near the reception.
They arrive at the mall, Vanya invites Gian to eat sushi. He ordered salmon sashimi and hamachi. Gian has no appetite and orders only orange juice, he wants to go home and have dinner with Regina.
The order has arrived at the table. Vanya immediately devoured the food in front of him. Gian only watched while occasionally drinking his orange juice. He allowed Vanya a while to enjoy his meal before speaking.
“So what do you want to say?” Ask Gian who wants to go home soon.
“Ga very adventurous anyway, Gi. I'm eating again.” Vanya said with a smile. He stopped eating and looked at Gian “You've finished the honeymoon from the Maldives the same Regina? Though I used to often tell the front story of you and grandparents if I want a vacation there, if I marry. And what I want me to do is go there with you, Gi.”
“I think you should move on, Van. I don't have any feelings for you, even if you bring my grandparents and let me feel guilty.”
“I know. You are so brave that I want to be in front of your family, in front of my grandfather who loves me so much, and stupidly I still hope for you.” Vanya said while playing food in front of him with chopsticks “But I think I'm really stupid anyway. I thought I could get over you, but no. I couldn’t. You don't know how badly you married someone else. You should have married me.”
“I won't marry you, Van.”
“You should have married me, Gi. That's what it says on grandpa's will.”
“Means?” Gian asked confusedly.
“Your accusations are unfounded. I didn't know anything about the contents of Grandpa's will until it was read out in front of the whole family a few weeks after grandfather died. Why don't you ask Mr. Narta about the truth of Grandpa's will? Don't you just want to know the contents of grandpa's will.” Gian replied to Vanya's accusation.
“Pak Narta shut up until now. You must have paid him dearly, didn't you, Gi?”
“I'm sorry for the rude words I used to say to you and I can't reply to your feelings, but that doesn't mean you're making accusations that are obviously rich like me, Van. The only people who know about the will are grandfather and Pak Narta. If you think you are real, bring the evidence about the falsification of the will to me.”
“I can't prove anything. Pak Narta is on your side.”
“Then I think you should stop. Don’t hurt yourself, Vanya.”
Vanya. He knew he had no chance, he could not prove anything about falsifying grandfather's will and making Pak Narta open her mouth. Nor can she force Gian to love her, in any way. He just wanted to throw his frustration away, and the anger was left in his heart. Gian won't falter, but maybe Regina can.
“Why should Regina, Gi? Among all the girls you can choose, compared to me who has been you since childhood. Why him, Gi?” Ask Vanya in despair.
Gian took a deep breath before answering Vanya's question.
“Maybe because Regina doesn't mean I made love with her, like you did. You use any way you can get me, even manipulate my grandparents so they can mate with us. You know my weaknesses best, are too obedient to them. But you are wrong, for matters of the heart I can oppose anyone. I don't want to be controlled. Regina let me fall in love slowly, without demanding anything.” Gian even recalled Regina very casually responding to Gian who was still hesitant to continue their contract relationship into a husband and wife relationship in general. Regina does not become resentful and angry at him, giving him time over and over again to think about the reliability of their relationship.
“But he doesn't know you, Gi. He doesn't even know we're victorious, or about our failed matchmaking. Aye right?”
“It was my fault. I didn't tell her, and I didn't think it was important for Regina to know. I still have a lot of time with Regina to get to know each other. All my life, I've had that much time together to let each other know.”
They ended the conversation and left the sushi restaurant. A new question arises in the mind of Gian, is everything that Vanya said true about the contents of grandfather's will? He knew Vanya loved him very much, but to dare to lie like that seemed excessive. His grandfather loved Vanya dearly, it makes sense that Vanya was present when the will was made. But did any of his other family members attend and know about it? Gian must immediately ask this to Pak Narta, although there is no guarantee he will tell the truth to him.
While walking among the shops in the Mall after their conversation, Vanya increasingly wanted to hold Gian's hand. Walk like a couple. The man who had always filled his heart since he was a teenager, remained unachievable. She loves Gian so much, she has always been by his side for more than half of her life, she got rid of the obscure women who approached Gian, she has always been a best friend and the closest person to Gian. Why has he never looked at her? Why did he keep walking in front of her and never look back and stare at her? It's always been like that since a long time ago.
“Gi, my mom's birthday is coming up in a week. You want to come to my mom's birthday?” Vanya said suddenly, stopping Gian's steps.
“I asked Regina first.”
“Why? He won't give permission? My mother is a circle with your wife. You guys are definitely invited.”
“If he wants to come, I'm with.” Gian then walked back. But Vanya stopped him again.
“You want me to buy a gift for my mom?” Vanya asked, she could already see the expression of objection from Gian. “Please, this is my last request with you.” Continued pleading.
With a heavy heart Gian agreed. They broke into the store of one of the branded bags. Although reluctant, Gian still follows Vanya who drags him with passion. Vanya browse the latest beautiful pouch output.
BHUG!!
Loud sounds are heard. Someone hit Gian's head with his sling bag.
“Regina?” Gian said in panic.
Regina turned around and left quickly. Gian followed him in the back. Trying to call Regina over and over again. But the woman had now run away quickly leaving him. Vanya just looked at where she was standing, then continued to choose a pouch for her mother's gift. She had seen Regina earlier among the pretty bags on display in the store. That's why he took Gian there.
He knew he could no longer convince Gian. But his anger and hatred should be directed at someone. Regina is the right target. Making small cracks in their connections they can do Vanya. Regina doesn't know Gian yet. Vanya is superior compared to him.
“Weak.” Vanya said with a smile.
