Dear Nolan
Derogating

A few minutes earlier in the Adiguna family living room. An adult man named Bimantara Raharja became unable to concentrate on hearing the explanation of his business partner Pak Hendrawan. His visit this time to the home of his business partner made him think of something else. The gaze of the eyes that always disturbed his mind, suddenly appeared and looked real was in front of him.

Who's the girl? Is he Mr Hendrawan's son? To his knowledge, Mr. Hendrawan only had two sons.

"Sorry Mr. Hendra," interrupted Bimantara when Mr. Hendrawan discussed the company's plans going forward.

"Yes sir," replied Mr. Hendrawan, immediately stopped talking spontaneously about business.

"Sir Hendra, who was the girl who welcomed me, is he Mr. Hendra's son?" ask the man.

Mr. Hendrawan became a little upset, why his explanation is so long and wide. It ended with a question asking her not-so-important daughter-in-law. Business is business. Although the question is off the mark, making partners feel happy is the key to successful cooperation.

"She's my son-in-law sir, she's the wife of my youngest son. They just got married a few months ago. We're having the grandest wedding of the year in town." Mr. Hendrawan said with pride.

"Yes! We haven't worked together, I'm not at their wedding. I don't think he's married. He looks young" said Bimantara.

"Indeed they got married at a young age, sir. My son was only twenty-three, and my son-in-law was only twenty-one" explained Mr. Hendrawan. He continued to develop light laughter even though their language had gone far.

For a moment the man fell silent, he recalled the incident 22 years ago.

"Sir Hendra, is your daughter-in-law's family in town?" ask the man again. He does not care anymore if the question is too close to his partner's personal problems.

Mr. Hendrawan was quite jolted at the question of his business partner. If he is honest! Will the business continue? The reason is, the past of his son-in-law is not classy and unclear origin.

"No sir, my son-in-law was an orphan who grew up ten years in an orphanage. But he was adopted by a wealthy and respectable family in this city. Mr. Doni Bagaskoro's family." Mr. Hendrawan chose Honest to make the story sound more dramatic.

"Bagaskoro? Adrian's father!" The look on the face of this adult man turned stiff. Suddenly he felt pain, hearing the girl was raised in an orphanage.

"Yes right sir! Adrian is the eldest son of Mr. Doni," replied Mr. Hendrawan. The middle-aged man is increasingly resigned his business partner even like a census officer who megabsen his family members.

Mr. Hendrawan's mind started to calm down. The demand of his business associates began beyond reasonableness. He is a little allergic to his daughter-in-law. But somehow Nesya is the daughter-in-law and beloved wife of her beloved son. He is not that determined, to let the ignorant eye admire his daughter-in-law. Mr. Hendrawan knows very well what the nature of some entrepreneurs is. They could not see the beautiful and innocent a little.

"I'm sorry before Mr. Bimantara, for what my son-in-law Nesya joined us. Didn't he have nothing to do with our language," said Mr. Hendrawan objected.

"Sorry Mr. Hendra, maybe you've misunderstood. Your daughter-in-law reminds me of someone who influenced my life in the past. I'm just gonna treat my kangen for a second. He reminded me of my long-dead brother. That's also if Mr. Hendra does not mind," said Bimantara did not reveal the real reason.

"Well Pa, I'll have Nesya join us" replied Mr. Hendrawan to accept his colleague's excuse because it makes sense.

Moreover, his partner's intention was absolutely no intention to be rude to his daughter-in-law. That means business is still running.
