I'M Nathasya Gustari
Dilemmas

Whispers filled the room. About Caca and Tara.

"How could you marry your own adopted daughter, Tara?" William, the eldest brother of Tara's father, raised his voice.

"Everyone knows that Nathasya is the child you and your wife are caring for. And now you're introducing an illegitimate child as a result of your relationship?" caldo Abraham or Aldo's. The youngest son of Abraham's family.

Aldo was a little jealous because Tara was the highest leader. Not himself or any of his twins, Liam and Lucas.

"Start not a bastard, Om!!" Tara was upset to hear it. Even though they were caught in sin. But Mentari, Caca was born after they were married religiously.

Caca immediately clasped the man's hand and shook his head faintly as Tara looked at him.

Tara closed her eyes, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Trying not to be provoked by emotions, or it will make it more difficult for him to get the blessing of his family now.

"We were married to the series long before Mentari was in Nathasya's womb. So Mentari legitimately my son." added the man after successfully lowering his emotions.

Where there is a father who accepts his son is called an illegitimate child. Even if Mentari was an illegitimate child, Tara would never accept it if anyone said so. What's more Caca pregnant Mentari after they married siri. Mentari is not a child outside of marriage.

The little princess hugged the mother's arm tightly and hid her face there. Afraid to hear his father cry.

"But still it will damage the family's good name as well as the company." William stressed.

"You were begging to marry Nindi. An orphan girl. We accept it because from the eyes of the people we have, she's a good girl and there's no bad intentions with our family." added the man with a heavy voice due to that age.

"We think, Devi who has a background from a good family can be a companion to the company's leadership. But you actually failed to keep it."

When Tara's parents ask permission to match Tara with Devi, they are indeed less vigilant. They thought that because the woman was from a distinguished family, Devi was the best choice at the time. Women who can maintain the dignity and dignity of the family.

They do not know if Tara was only forced to accept an arranged marriage because her master's men who threatened to cut the man out of their family. And the marriage ended badly. Fortunately they can cover up the scandal on the grounds of no match between the two.

But what do they have to say for the case this time. Married a foster child who was even born a five-year-old daughter?

"And now you're asking permission to marry your own adopted son? is that true Tara? can't you love a proper woman? There are many women in this world whose status is not your own!"

William did not understand the thought of the nephew he was proud of. He used to sincerely move the reins of his leadership into the hands of Tara. Besides because he does not have a son, also because his nephew is a hardworking man and can be trusted to advance the company. Evidently now their company has grown rapidly since being under the leadership of Tara.

Unlike Tara's number three, Aldo. The family that still does not accept leadership is held by Tara. Because Aldo still feels able to replace his eldest brother.

"But I have to marry Nathasya, om. For the future of our son who needs a father figure." Tara pleaded in frustration. Full of requests.

He thought things would not go so easily. It used to be very difficult to ask for the blessing to marry Nindi who had no scandal whatsoever. It was only a matter of social status and the woman had no parents. With Caca, there were so many things that it was difficult for Abraham's family to give his blessing.

"But, Om." Tara's face was already met with despair. He did not find a single reason for his family to give his blessing, except Mentari.

"Please if you insist on marrying her. The origin of your marriage remains hidden from the public." William stared heartlessly at the little girl sitting in fear. The face of her daughters as a child.

Tara bowed. How could he marry Caca and not introduce her to the public. He needs a wife and children to gain trust.

"And you must marry another dignified woman. Introduce her as the wife and mother of your descendants." William added with the final decision.

Tara looked up in disbelief. Staring at his father's eldest brother is most anti-polygamy and heartbreaking to women. Because even though Abraham's family was so strict, they privileged women. Appreciate and glorify those who have given their descendants to the Abraham Family.

"It's all for your own sake. If you still want to be a leader, you have to have a life partner who will carry on your legal and corporate lineage."

Tara's parents couldn't do anything. Because it has become an unwritten rule in their family. William's decision determined everything.

"What's the difference between Nathasya and the other women out there, um?"

"If others do not yet know Nathasya's status as your adopted son. Om won't ban it, Tara. Want you to marry a girl younger than Nathasya though, Om no problem."

Not for his nephew. But this concerns the good name and future of the company that does not only support Tara herself. But it also supports all the families that have Abraham's last name.

Not just their family life. But also the survival of thousands of employees who depend on their company. People who devote themselves to them. The company that Harrison built from scratch could become a giant.

"And if you still insist on introducing Nathasya as your wife. You'll see one by one our clients resign from our cooperation all along."

"Because a leader is not only seen from his work ability. But also from his personal life. How much you can carry yourself by keeping the family's good name."

Caca can only duck. Ever since Tara took her to a family meeting, she had already felt scared and insecure.

"What if I don't introduce Nathme to the public, but I don't remarry either?" Tara is trying to find a middle ground in her current problem.

"People will still not believe in our company, because of the unclear future of the company which is not yet clear who the successor. You must have a successor in order to remain a leader. And that child must be born to a woman you can publicly admit to."

In the end, the meeting that night had yet to produce a definitive decision. Now the decision is in Tara's hands. How will the man choose the choice that William has given.
