Forced Marriage Alea
CPA 35#

"Alea, your tumben is neat this early? Where you going?" asked Dilla who had just entered the dining room.

Dilla noticed her neat daughter-in-law in a pastel blazer and a black span skirt. Next to him Ravka was eating pasta that had been made by Alea. There is also a glass of mixed berry juice and a cup of coffee accompanied the young man's breakfast menu.

"Al have Ma's job interview," Alea replied unpleasantly because she had not told her in-laws about her intention to work.

"Interview job? You want a job?" ask Dilla wonder.

"Honey Ma if the knowledge that Al has learned during college if not used at all," Alea reasoned.

"If you want to work, why bother looking for a job outside? You just work at our family company" said Dilla while preparing breakfast for her husband. "Mama is sure, Ravka will definitely be able to find a suitable position for you to occupy" continued Dilla.

"Who wants a job, Ma?" asked Derry who had just entered the dining room following his wife.

Derry settles down on the chair next to Ravka. Welcoming plates containing breakfast handed over by his wife.

"Big, Pa. She said she wanted a job interview today" replied Dilla, who had breakfast after serving her husband.

"Sorry Ma, instead of Alea not willing to join the family company. Al just has no experience. Al was worried that people would judge that Al didn't deserve to be there" Alea said.

"Ngapain said people anyway. After all, you are a smart kid. There is nothing wrong with contributing to your husband's help" said Dilla.

"In fact if Mama and Papa allow it, Alea wants to find experience first. Testing the limits of Al's success in his career" Alea tried to convince his in-laws. "Al will help Mas Ravka in the family company, Al hopes people will judge that Al is worthy in that position,"

"Papa agrees with Alea, Ma. Let him seek out a lot of experience first outside. Later after a year or two, he could join Papa Bayu's company, helping Ravka and Alex. Or it could also build a company Papa with Tiara," said Derry relaxed.

Alea's father-in-law had now also started to accept Alea's presence. The middle-aged man had now no longer ignored his son-in-law since his wife heard Alea's conversation with Kania the other day. The couple began to open their eyes to see the sincerity of the girl they were now starting to consider part of the family.

"Can also help Mama manage the foundation," said Dilla did not want to lose. "Papa Bayu already has Ravka and Alex helping out. While Tiara is more interested in continuing Papa's business. Who am I helping?" dilla.

"Don't Papa work with Mas Ravka?" asked Alea astonished.

"Ravka now runs the company that his grandparents built, while Papamu built his own transportation company" Dilla explained.

A lot of Mas Ravka family business, it is appropriate that they have abundant wealth - Alea mempatin.

She had never known before what her husband's family was doing. His unwanted presence in this family, made Alea almost know nothing about the Dinata family. She only realized that her husband's family was one of the most distinguished families. He only learned of it after being married to Ravka for some time.

"Are you sure Al's gonna apply for a job?" ask Dilla again.

"Yes Ma, Alea sure did,"

"If you really want it that way. You left with Ravka, right?!" dilla again.

"Alea can go alone, Ma. Fearing Mas Ravka was late to the office if she had to take Alea first" Alea replied.

"Ravka?" said Dilla softly but conditioned with emphasis. Dilla's eyes stared intently at Ravka as if her words were indisputable.

"Okay Mas" Alea said as she finished her breakfast immediately.

The girl then said goodbye to her two in-laws by kissing the back of the hands of a married couple who were still cool eating their breakfast.

***********

"Where do you want an interview?" ask Ravka when she's in the car.

The young man intended to take into account the journey he had to take in order to get Alea quickly, then as soon as possible to go to his own office so as not to be late. This morning he had a meeting with an important client that required him to come on time to his office.

"In the Gatot Subroto area, Mas," Alea replied awkwardly.

The girl was actually unable to cover up the nervousness that was stirring her. The clear weather out there cannot make his heart cheerful. Although he got an interview offer without applying to the company he was about to visit this morning, it did not make the worry fade in Alea.

However, the company he wants to visit is one of the leading companies in Indonesia and even Asia. More than two hundred brands are circulating in the market under the auspices of companies that ask him to join.

"Subroto Statute?" Ravka seemed to think hearing Alea's reply. "What company did you get a job offer from?" ask Ravka again.

"BeTrust" Alea replied.

Ravka held a slanted smile on her lips. He almost chuckled as Alea mentioned the name of the company he was about to visit. However, the mastery of emotions that has been trained for years is able to withstand the sounds that can come out of his lips through laughter.

"You know what company it is?" ask Ravka again.

"Multinational company engaged in Fast Moving Consumer Goods. More than two hundred brands of household needs in production by BeTrust,"

Ravka raised her two eyebrows hearing Alea's reply. The girl seemed to only know surface information about the company she mentioned earlier.

"What position were you offered?"

"Analys Bussines. They offered me this job because they were interested in the thesis I made about Consumer Goods,"

Ravka just threw a smile with a blink of an eye that Alea could not describe the meaning implied there. He watched Ravka from behind the wheel. Pay attention to the handsome face that is able to make many women entangled in its charm. However, noticing Ravka's cold demeanor that the young man often showed made the sighs in Alea's heart freeze instantly. He must not allow his heart to fall to the physical wealth that overshadows Ravka, if he does not want his heart to get hurt more. Not saving any race could make Alea hurt with her cold attitude. Especially if he dared to involve his heart in it.

"At hand. Come down here," said Ravka, quashing Alea's daydreams.

The fun of diving in his imagination, made Alea unaware when the car Ravka was driving had stopped perfectly. Immediately the girl thrust her hand at Ravka intending to greet the young man. Alea's hand hung for a long time until she almost undoes her intention to greet her husband. Though long, Ravka finally gave up her hand to be kissed by his wife's soft lips.

Just this time Ravka felt the soft touch of the girl's lips during their marriage. Creates warmth that flows inside the chest.

"Thank you, you've brought me. Sorry to bother you," Alea said before taking her body away from the car.

Without waiting for Ravka's car to pass, Alea entered into the lobby of the towering office building clawing at the sky, after briefly throwing a smile at her husband behind the windshield. Behind the agonizing anxiety, Alea prepared mentally for an opportunity capable of publishing hope in the deepest of hearts.
