CHASING A DREAM HUSBAND
Gavin's Decree

Gavin rested his body on the sofa of his apartment. He then checked the balance of his personal account from the internet banking application on his phone. There was only a balance of twenty-one billion, that was all he had.

He is not a wealthy businessman who has assets of hundreds of billions or even trillions. The only asset he had was an apartment and two luxury cars. The rest of the money he had he made capital with his three friends in Germany to build a textile company there. So far, that's the source of his income so far. Although he married Agatha, a wealthy widow, he did not allow her to enrich herself.

Gavin massages his temple, he must find money to help Natasha escape the entanglement of Agatha's demands.

Gavin looked at his cell phone, he was thinking about something. Soon he took a business card from his wallet and pressed the phone number on the card to contact someone.

" Hello ..." A man's voice from across the street.

Gavin did not immediately answer the man's greeting.

" Hello, Dad ..." Finally Gavin's voice sounded choked greeting the man called Dad.

" Dad?" The man sounded jolted at the call of 'Dad'. " Ga-Gavin .. is that you?" The man's voice rang out, because since the reunion two years ago, this was the second time he had received a call from his son, it first happened a year ago when Gavin informed him that his mommy had died.

Gavin breathed deeply. " Yes, Dad. It's me ..."

" Gavin ... Dad's glad you finally called Dad, son." There was a hariu implied from the speech that came out of the man who turned out to be Papa of Gavin. " You changed your number, son?

" This is my other number, Dad" said Gavin. " Dad, is the offer to take care of the hotel that Dad once offered me still valid?"

" Of course, son. That's your right, which you've never gotten from Dad, have you changed your mind, son? Are you willing to accept a gift from Dad?"

Gavin was silent for a moment, he took a breath back, taking in air. " Alright, Dad. I'll take care of Dad's hotel in Bali, but ...."

" But what, son? Just say ...."

" Pinjury me twenty-five billion, Dad. Can Dad transfer that money tomorrow?"

" Why borrow? You just have to say ask, Dad will give it to you, Gavin."

" No, Dad. I promise I'll give it back if I have money."

" No Gavin, no need, son."

" Dad, don't make me change my mind. I'll borrow Dad's hotel, if Dad forces me to give, I cancel my intention earlier."

Papa Gavin breathes slowly. " Alright, Son. If that's what you want, Dad can't force it. Tomorrow Dad will arrange the money transfer."

" Thank you, Dad. I've already called her. I'm going to Dad's office tomorrow."

" All right, Gavin."

Gavin then turned off his phone call. Actually, his relationship with his father did not go well. Since childhood he lost the figure of a papa, because since the age of three months his parents separated. And since then his mommy always kept away from the figure of his father, until the assumption of Gavin since childhood if his father had abandoned him, and never considered him as a child.

Until finally two years ago an accidental meeting with his Daddy when he accompanied Agatha and her Mommy to visit an event in Bali. At first he felt suspicious when he saw Mommy having a very serious conversation with a middle-aged man.

FlashBack...

" Tell me, Amanda. Where's my son? Where have you been hiding Gavin all this time?" ask a middle-aged man to Mommy Amanda.

" He's my son David, have you forgotten that I've been taking care of him all this time? I'm with him not you!" sergeant Mommy Amanda.

" That's because you always stopped me from meeting Gavin. You've always refused all the money I gave Gavin."

" I can finance Gavin with my own money, David."

" Now tell me where he is, Amanda? I want to meet him, I want to hug my own flesh and blood. I miss him so much, Manda!"

" Why would you do that, Amanda?!"

" You know, if all this time Gavin thought Dad was leaving him and his Mom for cheating on him with another woman?"

" That's not true, are you the one who left me alone? because you cheated on your manager. And last I know you love your own sister's husband. Did you forget that you were the one who prevented me from meeting Gavin and you were the one who refused all the money I gave him! Why do you twist the facts like that, Amanda?! I love Gavin so much, but you forbid me from seeing him let alone touching him. Even since Gavin was six you took Gavin somewhere, never heard from him. You guys seem to disappear, but that doesn't mean I'm forgetting my son Gavin, because forever he's my flesh and blood and I love him so much even if at this time he thinks I'm the one who ignored him because of your cunning, Amanda!"

Gavin, who at that time heard the conversation of two people who turned out to be Dad and his Mom, came out of hiding.

" Mom, is it true everything this man said?"

" Ga-gavin?" Mommy Amanda gasps when she sees Gavin suddenly appear before them.

" Gavin? You're Gavin, my son?" asked the man who was looking at Gavin.

" Why has Mom been lying to me all this time?"

Flashback.

Since then, Gavin has slowly begun to accept his father's whereabouts, although he has refused to accept the luxuries his father has to offer, including accepting a five-star hotel in Bali for him, because Gavin felt bad because all this time he had wrongly hated his papa.

And at this time he took the decision to accept his papa's offer because he wanted to help Natasha, his dear sister. And it was for Natasha's sake that she dared to get rid of her shame to receive help from the father.

Tok tock..

" Gavin, are you home?" Agatha spread her arms to welcome Gavin's arrival but Gavin's hand movements asked Agatha to stop her steps.

" What do you mean pressurize Alexa by severing your cooperation contract?" asked Gavin coldly.

The face of Agatha who had been happy because of the arrival of her husband immediately turned sour.

" He complained to you apparently!" Agatha smiled cynically.

" Why are you being sneaky like this, Agatha?"

" It's all because of you, Gavin. If only you didn't love that woman ...."

" You're acting like a child, so embarrassing to your reputation all along."

" I'm gonna cancel that contract termination if you pull back your divorce suit."

" Whatever you do to Alexa won't affect my decision to split" Gavin said. " Regarding the twenty-five billion funds you have invested in the capital of cooperation with Alexa Butique, tomorrow I will transfer all. Please pull all your stuff in there, and don't you ever threaten or hurt him!"

Agatha clapped her hands mockingly. " That's great, you dare to sacrifice your treasure for that woman, the married woman. Didn't you know Natasha was married? Are you going to take Gavin's wife? Suitable couple, which women snatch men's husbands, which men snatch men's wives." Agatha laughed mockingly.

" Whatever Alexa's status, it won't change my decision to help her, nor my decision to divorce you, Agatha." Gavin then stepped out of Agatha's study. " Tomorrow if I transfer, I'll tell you" he said before disappearing in front of Agatha.
