Aline The Heir
Cancel the matchmaking

Upon seeing Aline's departure, Cleo smiled triumphantly. It turned out to be easy for him to deceive the woman, he thought.

"Let go Cle, you don't take a chance !!" Dannis forcibly pulled Cleo's hand and pushed her away from him.

"Why are you so rude ?" cleo.

"We have no business anymore, so don't ever call me again !!" said Dannis full of threats, then he stepped foot left the cafe.

"I'm sure you'll be begging me soon" Cleo said with a grin on her face.

Arriving in the car, Dannis immediately let go of his shirt. "Why boss ?" sam asked astonished at the manner of the man sitting next to him.

"Of course change shirts, you don't see" said Dannis, wearing a shirt he had just picked up from a paper bag in the back seat of his car.

"I don't like to smell other women's perfumes, other than my little cat." continued Dannis.

"Don't like it, but you want to be hugged." Sam chirps full of insinuations.

"You think I'm not disgusted that woman hugged me, I just want things to sort out fast. You know for yourself what Cleo's nature was ?" said Dannis who did not accept the words of his best friend.

"It's up to the boss." said Sam.

"Of course I'm the boss" Dannis chuckled.

Elsewhere with shaky steps, Aline got out of her car and greeted the guards at the Mansion. "Is Mr Nicholas Bryan there ?" aline asked the two security who were standing in front of the gate.

"There's Miss, please come in !!" said one of the security was friendly, it seems they knew that the woman in front of him was the prospective daughter-in-law in the house.

After the gate was opened, Aline immediately went inside. He stepped his feet through the flower garden that spread widely in the yard of the house.

"Om." call Aline when he sees Mr. Nicholas reading a newspaper in the back garden.

"God, baby, you're just surprised by Om." said Mr. Nicholas, looking happy to see the woman in front of him.

"How are you doing Om ?" aline asked by kissing the old man's hand.

"As you can see, Om is very healthy. Just one less ?"

"What is Om ?" Aline scrunched her forehead.

"It looks like Om wants to quickly get a grandson" said Mr. Nicholas chuckling.

"The production site again closed Om, pandemic." said Aline with a laugh who was followed also by Mr. Nicholas.

"Have you come with that brat ?" asked Mr. Nicholas as he spread his eyes looking for the eldest son.

"No Om, it looks like Dannis is busy." said Aline by forcing his smile, very hurt if you remember the incident at the Cafe earlier.

"He does not deserve to be called a child, he does not care at all about his father." grumbled Mr. Nicholas.

"Aline will accompany Om today, do Om want to play chess or do we play cards only ?" ask Aline enthusiastically.

"We play chess alone, Om misses being defeated." chirped Mr. Nicholas arrogantly.

"Well, Om who asked to lose ya." said Aline chuckled then he began compiling chess pieces on the table.

They began to install their own strategies to beat each other. Minute by minute they played and now it's almost two hours they are still focused.

"Silent." said Mr. Nicholas with a triumphant smile.

"Lose again, it seems that today I really am the one who lost." Aline inwardly looked at the chess piece in front of him.

"Are you in trouble, son ?" asked Mr. Nicholas who saw the girl in front of him looked sad, it was impossible he thought if only just lost playing chess and then as sad as that.

"Newly this time, Om defeated me." said Aline by forcing his smile.

"Can you cook ?" ask Mr. Nicholas curiously.

"Of course, Om want in masakin what ?" challenge Aline.

"we cook together - the same." said Mr. Nicholas as he moved from his seat.

After almost an hour of work in the kitchen, now two servings of Falscher Hase typical food of the country has been served at the dining table. Foods made from minced beef and eggs.

"it's so good, Om." said Aline when he just put the food in his mouth.

Mr. Nicholas just smiled to see the girl in front of him eating voraciously.

After they finished their meal, Mr. Nicholas invited Aline to speak in the reading room.

"I know you're not here just to play with me, now tell me if there's a problem ?" ask Mr. Nicholas to open the conversation.

Aline who was reading the book in her hand seemed to flinch, how could this old man know. Her thought.

"Om like a psychic." said Aline, who made the old man chuckle.

"Just say, Son, Om will hear it !!"

Aline took a deep breath, before she opened her mouth to start the conversation. "Papa actually gave me a month to get to know Dannis Om better" Aline said.

"Yes I know, then ?"

"I've decided, Om." Aline paused for a moment, the look on her face implied sadness and it did not escape the old man's scrutiny.

"I'm sorry, I have to cancel this match" Aline continued by holding back her tears.

"Is there a reason ?"

"I don't love Dannis. Om." Aline tried to toughen up by trying to smile.

"Alright, Om won't force."

"Om not angry ?"

"Of course not, son."

"Thank you Om. I hope Om still wants to be Papa's business partner" Aline confirmed, because he did not want the relationship that his father had built for decades with Mr. Nicholas to be destroyed by it.

"You're a very filial son, I'm proud of you."

"Thank you Om, for the last time can I hug Om ?" ask Aline.

"Of course, son. You are my little princess." said Mr. Nicholas, holding Aline in his arms.

"What the stupid boy did, until you decided on this. I know son, you love Dannis too." Inner master Nicholas.

After they talk - talk. Now Aline decided to go home, because the day had gone late in the afternoon.

"Please watch over Dannis, whatever she does. Report to me immediately." mister Nicholas ordered when speaking to someone on his cell phone.

"Based on a foolish child, you have wasted my little daughter." - Inwardly, Mr. Nicholas, looking at a picture of Dannis and himself on his desk.

Arriving at his apartment, Aline enters his room with a giant step. He didn't think his first love had run aground before it started, which is ironic. Her thought. Maybe this is a risk for him to fall in love with a playboy like Dannis, if only he could manage his heart so as not to fall in love with the playboy man. Maybe now he won't be as sick as he is now.

After reflecting on her ironic love story, Aline now moved from her seat. He immediately wiped his tears that had flowed, then he opened the closet and took out a large suitcase.
