Babysitter For Rain
CHAPTER 84

"A,a ... It's on, huh?"

The woman with her friendly face suddenly appeared on that white screen.

"It's on, ma'am," said the voice of the man beside the camera.

"Oh, really? Ahaha .. I'm really stupid about this."

"Mrs ..."

"Ah, yes. Sorry, sorry ... Hi all ...," said Agnes with a wide smile as she waved her hand.

"okay, seriously. Congratulations ... noon. Because it's still daylight here. I'm Agnes de Montague. I am the mother of Adam Desmond Hadinata and Marius Edmond Hadinata."

"They both .. are my precious pearls. I love them so much." Agnes wiped her tears.

"Ah, unfortunately I can't have a daughter. I want a girl." Agnes looked annoyed because of that.

"But there's one girl I really like. She's my best friend's daughter, too. Ever since I saw him, I knew he would be my son too. And when I saw one of my sons meet him when he was newborn, they looked so adorable together. Their hands ... aahh .. I knew right away they were created to be together."

"The past few days, I've always felt I might not be able to see them get married. Therefore, I decided to record all of this."

Agnes again tidied up the way she sat in front of the camera.

"I, Agnes de Montague, want Adriana Tanuwijaya, daughter of Doni Tanuwijaya and Alyana Maharani as my son-in-law for my second son, Marius Edmond Hadinata. I want them to be married and happy together as part of the Hadinata family."

"Nobody can oppose this decision, nor change my will, including Ernest. Therefore, if one day they get married, DYNE shares that I own by 30% will be handed over to Adriana Tanuwijaya."

"But, if they do not get married in the end, all of DYNE's assets and subsidiaries, including Ernest's shares and mine, will be donated equally to all humanitarian agencies. Thus, DYNE will no longer be a giant corporate group."

"His confirmation document has been prepared by a lawyer and signed by me and Ernest. Like I said before, no one will be able to change my decision."

"For Ana .. I've been wanting to say this for a long time if someday you come home as Marius' wife. But maybe, I won't have time to say it."

Agnes took her breath, then exhaled her slowly.

"Welcome to the Hadinata family, dear Ana ..."

"Have finished? Power off, power-off. Bye, all ..."

................

Ana still noticed the white screen still hanging above the sky even though the video was no longer playing. He still could not believe the Mama Agnes he knew would make such a will. Both of his hands covered his lips which continued to gap due to his shock.

"This is impossible! How could Miss Agnes make such a decision? This is really ridiculous! This is absolutely crazy," cried Mr. Hartono expressing his frustration.

But, then ...

"Mahaha ..." Laughter Mr. Wang covered up the whispers that were heard after the video finished playing. "It's really Agnes. Only Agnes could do that. Even Ernest would not be able to fight against him. Those of you who have been in DYNE for a long time, certainly know how Agnes. Hahaha ..."

Almost everyone nodded his head, agreeing to Mr. That wang.

Ana could feel the atmosphere in the room was already starting to heat up. He could feel all the eyes in the room were staring at him, questioning who he was, so that it could make the giant DYNE turned into a small paper. Ana wanted to get out of there.

"Hmm .. So do you think, if you do this, I will cancel this marriage? Haha ... Of course not. We're gonna get married, Marius." Nora continued to stare intently at Marius.

"Norah! There will be nothing left of DYNE if you get married" cried Mr. Barnett to his beloved daughter.

"I won't lose to him. He wanted to humiliate me with this marriage. Then, I will not give up until he feels that shame" said Nora who grew angry as she looked at Marius.

The room is starting to get boisterous. Those who were pros and cons yelled at each other shouting their opinions. But, Marius whom Ana saw just stood there without giving any reaction. He was neither smiling nor angry.

"What are you thinking right now, Marius?," he thought worriedly.

"Prove it!" cried Mr. Hartono. Everything suddenly calmed down. Everyone stared at Mr. Hartono.

"Prove she is the real Adriana Tanuwijaya!"

"To ascertain whether it is true that she is Miss Adriana Tanuwijaya mentioned in Lady Agnes' will, then someone who has been appointed by Lady Agnes can confirm it."

After the lawyer finished speaking, the door of the room was reopened. Back, everyone's eyes were fixed on who was behind the door this time.

A woman who looks about 60 years old in her modest attire and is clad in an unbuttoned sweater jacket, and her three-quarter skirt.

The way she walks shows the tenderness of a mother and the firmness of a strong woman at the same time. Ana could feel that the woman was no ordinary woman.

Aided by a servant beside her, the woman walked slowly through the door of the room until it finally closed again.

As the woman turned to look towards Ana, she then walked over to Ana. Her hands were wrinkled, but when she touched Ana's face, she didn't feel anything rough from her.

"Que c'est beau. Comme tu es belle," he said softly.

His hand then went down Ana's face. She saw the necklace Ana was wearing. And then, he smiled.

"C'est vraiment la prefere d'Agnes" he said again.

The woman stood straight in front of Ana. He looked at everyone who was there.

"I'm Sophie" she said in a non-fluent style of language.

"Marius always calls me Grand-mere Sophie or in your language, Grandma Sophie. I am the mother of Agnes de Montague. Oui, my name is Sophie de Montague."

It was clearly visible on Ana's face if she was really surprised. She never knew any other Marius family besides Mama Agnes and Papa Ernest. Marius never told me about it either.

At once, Ana was nervous. He was afraid of making a mistake.

The atmosphere in the room also suddenly became boisterous. Everyone whispered to each other. They were probably as surprised as Ana.

"You may find it hard to trust an old woman like me. But, I have photos that I can share for you guys."

Sophie gave it to the bodyguard who was nearby at this time. "Don't forget to give it back to me again. This is my treasure," he said. Ana smiled hearing that.

Shortly thereafter, the white screen again displayed the image in turn. This time it was a picture of the photos Sophie gave.

Ana saw there was little Marius there. He remembered the tiny face he had met 20 years ago. Among the many pictures shown, only Marius is always looking for in every piece of the picture.

Memories of his past reappear. This time, there were no bad memories in his head. He no longer remembered his past with Marius as something bad that traumatized him. Ana smiled every time she saw the pictures.

And, the finished pictures are shown.

"Agnes once told me he really liked a girl, and wanted to make her a son-in-law. Before he died, he left something to me. He said that if anyone ever doubted him, he asked me to bring him in front of the boy" Sophie said.

The waiter beside him, then took out a carved wooden box from inside the bag he was carrying. The box was handed to Sophie.

"If she is Adriana Tanuwijaya who is always mentioned by Agnes, then she should be able to open this box," he said again.

Ana knew the wooden box. The box that Mama Agnes often showed her. Mama Agnes used to let her play with this, but she never knew that today Mama Agnes used it to prove something.

Ana holds her pendulum necklace. He looked at Sophie. The woman smiled at him, then nodded her head.

Ana took off her necklace, then put the pendulum into the keyhole of the wooden box. He turned it to the right once, then to the left twice, and after that ...

HORN! .. The box was open.
