As pretty as a Butterfly
Chapter 85. Want to go back to how it used to be.
Wijaksana Mansion.
Mr. Wijaksana was upset after receiving news from his men about a dinner at the Wijaya Group company that did not invite him.
He's crossing the table and throwing whatever's around him.
"Blognal! The old man, did not consider my existence at all. Missed me and didn't invite me to the meeting, "he was upset.
Mr. Wijaksana looked at his men. "Tell me, what was he talking about at the banquet, or what was the most important event that he had to gather the entire board of directors?"
"Mr Wijaksana ... The big lord has announced the next prospective successor to all staff members and directors, and the young master will replace his position in the company later" replied the messenger.
Mr. Wijaksana tightened his jaw and rounded his eyes to perfect pattern.
She shook her head. "No ... I'm not gonna let that happen. I will not agree to that, Wiliam does not deserve the highest position in the company, because I am the only one who deserves to change the position of the old man," he murmured angrily.
"Say ... Is there anything else besides that?" ask Mr. Wijaksana.
"Mr ... The young master of Wiliam today also invited a girl with him while attending dinner last night," replied the messenger.
Lord Wijaksana screeched. "Curtain! Which cheap woman else would be invited by him to have fun," he said mocking.
"But sir, it seems like young master Wiliam this time is seriously in a relationship with the girl, even the great master had a chance to submit a marriage proposal directly for young master Wiliam in front of everyone," reply the messenger.
"Really ... Do you know who that girl is? Family background or other information?" ask Mr. Wijaksana.
"The info I got was just a little Master, and all I knew was Jelita's name" replied the messenger.
"Dark ... Is that girl young, and she's about 18?" asked Mr. Wijaksana as if he had heard that name.
"It seems so sir," replied the messenger.
Mr. Wijaksana smiled smirk. "God! Of the many women, the William even chose women belonging to the Chandra Putra family. Hem, interesting ... What if I pitted the two of them against each other" he said, then chuckled.
"What are you going to do, sir?" ask the messenger.
"Come, draw near to me" asked Mr. Wijaksana to whisper.
"Well," replied the messenger and approached to hear Mr. Wijaksana's plan.
"Do you understand?" ask Mr. Wijaksana.
"I understand Mister" replied the messenger.
"Then do it immediately! faster then it's better" said Mr. Wijaksana.
The messenger nodded obediently then left the room of Lord Wijaksana.
While Mr. Wijaksana smiled smirk while hooking his fingers to each other into one while propping up his chin.
"God! I'd like to see how well you can handle the problem this time, old man. What can your grandson Wiliam do. Will he be able to fight against Mr. Nael and also the Chandra Putra family" he murmured.
Mr. Wijaksana leaned back on his great chair, he sighed and smiled so happily. Looking forward to the shocking news of two big companies who will be at odds with each other. Just because of a young girl.
...----------------...
After dinner, Jelita was brought home by Michael and Jason.
The girl pensively thought about what happened at dinner last night. All the words of Opa Wijaya, William and even the foster mother also circled in his head.
"Opa wants to apply for a wedding proposal for my grandson Wiliam."
"Please promise me you'll be with William until that day comes."
"Married to me."
"I'll wait for you until you're ready."
"I'll make amends, let go of your foster son's title. I'm not as rich as the Chandra Putra family, but I'm still able to support you and your mother."
"Frequently play here with Wiliam."
"Opa wants to see you get married for the rest of my life."
"I'll see you if I need anything."
"Don't forget your responsibilities and obligations as a foster child!"
...***...
Jelita massaged the temples of her throbbing head. "My head hurts so much" he murmured.
"I'm fine" Jelita replied.
"Dark ... Our return journey is still quite far, you better take a break" said Michael gave advice.
"You're right, it looks like today I'm exhausted to the point that my head hurts" Jelita replied.
He leaned his head and tried to close both eyes but could not rest.
"Dark ... I'm sorry, can I ask you a question?" michael asked curiously.
"Just ask," Jelita replied sounding listless.
"Why did that man take you away and always wanted to visit you. Even she knows Maria's mother?" ask Michael.
He recalled that when he came home, William had said he wanted to meet with Maria's mother to Jelita.
Jelita sighed. "Michael ... Do you know why I could lose a father?" ask Jelita.
Michael shakes. "I don't know," she replied.
"Michael ... When I was 6 years old, I lost my father in a traffic accident, due to the negligence of a teenage boy. And you know who that teenager is?" ask Jelita.
"I don't know" Michael replied.
"Wiliam, he's the teenager. That caused my father's death" Jelita replied.
"What!" jason and Michael together.
"True, he has also been jailed for the accident case," Jelita replied.
"So did he come to see you for a purpose, like an apology or something else?" ask Jason.
"Sister Jason ... He found me after he got out of jail for wanting to make amends for all his mistakes to me and Mom, too" Jelita replied.
"Did he really want to make it up to you?" ask Jason.
"Come," replied Jelita.
Actually he was confused to be honest or not, if Wiliam wanted to make up for all his mistakes last time by getting married.
"So that guy besides being a delinquent, he's also a murderer? Jelita! why do you want to get close to him, even if you want to be held by the bad guy." Michael was upset because he didn't think it out.
"Michael ... I used to think he was a bad guy, I scolded him and even beat him as hard as I could. But she did not reply to him at all, I was also surprised when I saw the gentle side of the man. He's nice but hard to guess" Jelita replied.
"Then stay away from him and do not meet or want to be taken by him again" said Michael.
"Michael ... Something made me feel sorry for her, when she was alone and had no family. He only had Opa Wijaya, and he loved his Opinion so much. Opa once said, if Wiliam is not as discussed by the community, he just fell because of the actions of irresponsible people."
"Opa was so sure of his own grandson that he was innocent, because there was a complaint that the car that Wiliam was driving at the time had been damaged by the brakes. But I don't know if I still don't know if it's true or not." Jelita looked down, thinking back.
"Obviously his opinion is defending his own grandson, because he does not want his grandson to have a bad stamp in the eyes of others especially in front of a beautiful girl like you," said Michael keceplosan.
"Ah no, I mean where might Opanya say bad things to others," Michael errat, he glanced at Jelita because in fact Jelita is very beautiful today.
Jelita smiles. "Michael ... Sometimes I think it's more comfortable that my life before I turn out like this" he chuckled.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean, you're not grateful for what happened to you huh!" reply Michael.
"If I was still as ugly as I used to be, would there be a man who would want to be with me? Is there a man who glances at me not because of my appearance?" ask him to yourself.
"Sometimes I think, I better go back to my old life again, not seen by many, not contested by any man, not contested by any man, it's not to blame if I break the rules and I'm not to be embarrassed if I make a mistake. I don't want to disappoint a lot of people" said Jelita, she was so afraid that she would disappoint everyone.
Disappointing Michael, Wiliam, Opa Wijaya, Foster Mother, Mother and others.
"Jelita, why do you think that? You must be grateful, many people out there who want to have a chance like you, become a foster child to achieve his goals. You also have dreams and I will always support you" Michael said.
"You're right ... But Michael, the truth is that I'm stuck between the two of you, between two families and I can't choose one or both."
"If I choose your family, then the Opa family will be disappointed and if I choose the Opa family, then your family will be disappointed."
Michael was silent, I don't know what Wiliam said to Jelita, until the girl was struck with this kind of anxiety.
