Forced Marriage Alea
PPA 17# Serious Talks

Alea noticed the look on the face of her husband and the two women she had left in the living room speadboat. Her husband hasn't changed much. Flat face without expression is often shown. However, it is different from the two women who were flirting and seducing her husband.

What happened to those two women? Didn't they manage to seduce Mas Ravka? Why was his face so strange now? - Inner Alea when she saw the look on the face of the Nesti and Diva who were going down the speadboat. They seemed to be chasing time and wanted to rush out of this place. The expression on his face could not be read at all, whether angry, upset, embarrassed as if mixed into one.

Alea then followed behind her husband. Fearfully Alea descended the speadboat. Lucky this time Nino showed a little gentle nature. He helps Alea while descending the speadboat and offers the girl to carry the suitcase she was dragging. The two then rushed after Ravka who had walked first to the resort where the event will take place later tonight.

"Why did you just arrive? Your grandfather has been asking for your whereabouts since this afternoon," Ravka's arrival with Alea and Nino in the resort lobby was immediately met with the anger of his mother. "Hurry to meet your grandfather now" continued Dilla.

Ravka hurried to follow her mother's orders. Although Grandpa was a good and understanding parent, but he was a very strict person. So it was better to follow his will than to have to see the old man go berserk. Besides, if Grandpa meets waiting for his arrival, there must be something important that will be conveyed by his Grandfather.

"Nino you're here" cried Dilla as she saw Nino about to chase after Ravka after handing Alea the handle of the suitcase.

"Okay, ma'am" replied Nino, bowing to Dilla as a sign of respect.

"Why are you dressed like this? Didn't Bi Mimah tell you that today you have to attend an important event?" Dilla asked as she narrowed her eyes probing the appearance of her ordinary-looking daughter-in-law.

"I'm sorry, I only have this I can wear" Alea said awkwardly. He was still not used to facing his in-laws. To make the girl clumsy do not know how to behave in front of her mother-in-law.

Dilla frowned in surprise. Uncle Alea is one of the famous businessmen in Jakarta. So it should be, the girl is also struggling with property even though the strata are far below the Dinata family. But in fact, his daughter-in-law does not even have the appropriate clothes to attend an important event.

"There's still enough time until the show starts. Nino, you take Alea to the butiq at this resort. Meet Shanti, she knows what to do with Alea. After that immediately take Alea to the ballroom," Dilla gave his wife. "Oh yes, here's your room key" Dilla added as she handed the hotel room key into Alea's hands. The middle-aged woman then rushed to leave Alea who was still pecking at where she stood.

"Hayo, we don't have much time" said Nino pulling Alea's arm. He first called the roomboy, ordered him to bring Alea's suitcase to his room and gave Alea the key that Dilla had given him. Nino was surprised to realize that the room given to Alea was one of the exclusive rooms at this resort. Making the young man even more curious what kind of relationship Alea had with the Dinata family.

"It's okay, the important thing is that you've got here. Sit down, Grandpa wants to talk to you about something" Bayu said, pointing to the sofa not far from the sofa he was sitting on using a wooden stick that always accompanied him a few years ago.

"Good Cake" replied Ravka who then threw her body on the sofa that was shown by her Grandfather.

"Grandfather won't mince words. Grandfather will immediately talk to the subject," said Bayu as he let out a long sigh.

In front of Bayu, Ravka waited for the old man to continue his words with an irregular heartbeat. He could feel his Grandfather's tension rubbing against him. He could not guess what kind of thing the man who always gave him affection to say. However, seeing the look on the face of the man who had entered the age of eighty years, made Ravka feel something would hit her heart through the words that came out of the mouth of the Grandfather.

"You know that today's event is not just a charity auction like Dinata Group used to hold," continued Bayu after a moment of silence without a word.

"There have been many who have heard, both our colleagues and business competitors, that on this occasion Grandfather will announce the successor who will lead the company," Bayu again stopped talking. Scrutinizing the flat face that her granddaughter cast. There was no response that Ravka gave, making the man who had entered his old age again continue what he wanted to convey.

"In fact you are already Grandpa prepared to hold the reins of leadership. Grandfather believes you can herd the company to rise and leave all the storms that can hit the company. It's just that right now the entire business in the world is being tempered by a storm. Not a few companies that give up and fall at the bottom until they are no longer able to rise," continued Bayu while laughing. Given that some of his colleagues were swept away by the storm, slumped and could not rise again.

"Grandfather do not worry, currently the company under the auspices of Dinata Group is still in stable condition. Especially with the support provided by Sanjaya Group, making us stronger in the face of the upcoming shocks" Ravka said steadily. All this time he has tried very hard to make the company can pass the storm of economic crisis that hit the world. Ravka was fully convinced that she would be able to maintain the company that her Grandfather had fought for since she was very young.

"That's the problem, son," Sambar Bayu. He took a deep breath again for the umpteenth time he had done it in the last few minutes. "Ferdian Sanjaya provides help to us not free of charge. There are conditions that come with it,"

"I understand Grandpa. Hasn't Grandpa already conveyed this to me?" Ravka replied steadily, beginning to understand the direction of her Grandfather's conversation.

"Yes, that's why Grandpa betrothed you to the only girl he had. It's just that God wills another. He already has his own plan for you," Bayu grabbed Ravka's hand to hold it in order to channel his support to the grandson.

Ravka simply replied with a smile at what her Grandfather was doing. However, the old man before him has given a lot of happiness in his life and thousands of people out there. He did not want his Grandfather to worry about his already chaotic life in Grandpa's old age. He must look strong and fine in front of Grandpa Bayu.
