" You must marry your son to mine." Said Mr. David.
Bram was so surprised. Heard what David said to him. He did not expect Mr. David to say that. Bram's face suddenly turned deathly pale. His heart is racing. Hands shaking. It made him nervous and confused what he should answer to Mr. David. While he knew he could not marry off his very young daughter any more with young master Andrew who was eight years old with his daughter. Bram knows who Andrew is. Bram seems to drop his daughter into a deep hole when she marries Andrew. But he is not capable of doing anything. Because that was a request from Mr. David. He needed the help of Mr. David
Nervous and trying to control himself.
" M.. I mean my son and young Master Andrew?" Bram replied in surprise.
" Yes Bram I want your son to marry my son." Said David.
Bram seemed to think. I don't know what's on his mind. His mind wandered into the outside world. He began to think about what the consequences would be if his daughter married a young master who was notoriously cruel and liked to play tricks on women. And what will happen if he rejects Mr. David's request, he will lose the company and all the luxuries he has. He wanted to hit his head to solve this problem.
" How Bram do you want to marry your son to mine?" Ask David again. That surprised Bram.
Bram took a deep breath. Then ventured to look at Mr. David with a hopeful look.
" What's..You want to give me a chance to talk about it with my son Serly?" Bram said he hoped David would give him a chance to talk about it with Serly and his wife Dina. However, he could not decide for himself something like this.
Hearing what Bram said David's face changed. He scrunched his two eyebrows.
" What chance did you ask for bram. I've been kind to you. Made an incredible offer to pay off your debt to me. Not only that I'll definitely help your company get out of trouble as long as you want to marry your son to mine." Said David firmly.
" But.mr...." Bram said cut. He was trying to appeal to Mr. David.
" Bram. I'm giving you an easy way to pay off your debt. What else do you think. If you don't accept this offer tomorrow the company you built with great difficulty is just a name." Threaten David who made Bram's face paled.
Bram can only give up on what Mr. David wants. He could not refuse again. His heart raged in his mind between his family and his company. A very heavy choice for him.
He does not want bad things to happen to his daughter and his company. But he could not make a decision in this case, a decision that he had difficulty deciding. While Mr. David did not give a chance to pet and think about it.
But without thinking.
David took a deep breath. " Alright I'll give you 2 days, give me an answer in two days. Your company's fate depends on your answer Bram." David said firmly and his decision could not be challenged anymore.
Bram walked out of the luxurious office. His face was confused and confused.
" What should I do." He muttered in his heart after his car drove away from the Bastian corporation.Ingin it feels like he shouted and cursed at himself who was not able to take care of his family and company. He felt like a coward as a man and a father. He felt like he was failing as a human being.
Finally his selfish and arrogant feelings won in his inner fight.
Because of that attitude he always maintained while leading the company. Even Bram does various ways to win a tender or project. Bram is a selfish guy and wants to win by himself. He never thought about the feelings of others.
" I don't want to lose my company. I have to marry Sherly to young master Andrew that's the only way to save my company." The connection in the heart. It was the decision he finally made. He would rather secure his company than his daughter's future.
Bram asked the driver to go to the house. Because today he doesn't want to go to the company to work. He wanted to say this directly to Sherly and also Dina.ia sure Sherly would not refuse it. Because all this time he has been a good father for him even he so spoiled the beautiful girl. Sherly's wishes are always fulfilled. And he also knows what Sherly's nature is like. Besides being beautiful and smart in an understanding and affectionate girl. Bram is sure Serly won't let him down.
🌷🌷
Bram's car has arrived at a whitewashed house in a modern style.
Dina who was in the yard watering her favorite plants turned to her husband who did not usually come home quickly. Especially with the current state of the company.
Dina greeted her husband who had come but Bram did not listen at all. All he had in mind was how to save the company he had so long since built.
Bram's face looked tense and confused. He did not answer the question of his wife who welcomed him. Dina was silent and tried to smile so that her husband's mood was not damaged.
Bram walked quickly to his study and said.
" Suggest Sherly to see me immediately." Reply Bram and walk away.
Dina is a little confused as to why her husband came home early and asks Sherly to see him. She asked her husband what was going on.
Dina was sure something had happened. There was an unpleasant feeling in his heart. But Dina tried to pull him off. She did not want her husband to be more depressed about his current situation.
Dina chose to follow her previous husband Dina to go to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee for Bram after she was ready she stepped towards Bram's study and when she arrived at the door of her husband's study she knocked doorway.
It..tokkk.tokk...!!
" Can I go in Bram?" Ask Dina from behind the door.
" Come in" replied Bram from the inside.
Dina berahan opened the door of Bram's study and stepped in. Dina smiled sweetly at the sight of her husband sitting at his desk even though Bram was not paying attention to him.
Dina stepped closer to her husband's table where her husband was sitting. Bram bowed while massaging his temple with one of his hands. It is clear in his face that Bram is in a bad state and he looks very depressed.
Dina tried to comfort her husband she kept a face full of sweet smiles on her face. Then she stepped behind Bram who had previously put down the cup of coffee she made and massaged her husband's shoulder affectionately.
Dina tried to ask her husband. About the reason he came home quickly and how the company is doing. Dina tried to comfort Bram who looked very depressed. In addition, Dina was curious why her husband asked Serly to talk to Bram immediately. Dina thinks something happened.
Bram lifted his face and turned towards Dina who was gently massaging her shoulders. He looked at Dina's beautiful face.
Bram answered briefly. He kept asking Sherly for Dina. This made Dina even more sure something had happened to her husband.
Dina gets confused as to why her husband keeps asking her whereabouts of his daughter Sherly. There was a feeling of fear that enveloped Dina's heart.
With a smiley and gentle face, Dina told her husband that Sherly was not home. Sherly is in college and hasn't come home yet. So Dina asked Bram to wait a little longer. Because Dina knows that Sherly will be home soon.
The feeling was even more obvious when he saw Bram who looked confused. There was something important so he had to meet and wanted to talk to Sherly right away.
Dina raised both her eyebrows. Bram doesn't usually come home fast just to talk to his daughter. Dina returned to her bad thoughts that something had happened to her daughter
" What's this important thing you want to talk to Sherly Bram about?" Asked Dina who could not help her curiosity. He was a little afraid to ask Bram important things. But he ventured to ask because this concerned Sherly daughter only wayangnya.
Bram did not pay any heed to what Dina asked.
His mind was only focused that he should immediately talk to his daughter about what Mr. David wanted.
Dina finally chose silence and no longer asked the question that made her feel curious.
Dina did not want to force Bram to say it she could tell that there was something important that she wanted to talk to her daughter about immediately.
Dina who massaged her husband's shoulder she knew Bram was so stressed and depressed by the state of his company. But Dina could not help anything at all because she was not very familiar with business and the like. All she could do was pay special attention to her husband. Only love and comfort can be given to her husband.
Dina tried to divert the conversation. She no longer asked about her husband wanting to talk about important things with his daughter.
" Bram are you going to see Mr David?" Tanya Dina started a conversation with Bram.
" Emmr... " Answer Bram
" And...?" Dina wondered what was decided between Bram and David.
I wish there was something good after their meeting.
" Wait for Sherly to come back you'll know" Bram replied, which left Dina disappointed and curious about what Bram would talk to Sherly about. Dina believes it must be related to her husband and Mr. David meeting today. But he again hoped that it was good and happy news.
🌷🌷🌷
Sherly who just entered her house and a little screamed for the whereabouts of her mother, because of her habit of going home from college Dina would welcome her and ask how she was on campus. He stepped in and wanted to see Dina immediately.
Because Sherly will run into Dina's arms and give a loving kiss to the most precious person in her life.
He was looking for the figure of Dina who would usually welcome him when he came home. But he saw no one he was looking for
Sherly who does not find Dina because it is not usually Dina does not welcome her. Sherly was a little worried, but she immediately brushed the thought.
Sherly begins to think positively that maybe Dina is out and not home.
Sherly flushes her tired body after attending a lecture in the living room.
He just kept his eyes closed.
But a few moments later appeared Dina and found her daughter was already at home. Dina immediately approached Sherly and gave a warm smile to her beautiful daughter. See who came Sherly so happy.
" . Where did my mom come from.. Sherly cariin from earlier." Sherly said spoiledly. Then he got up and ran to hug Dina.
So did Dina who immediately welcomed the embrace of her daughter whom she loved the most.
Dina smiled and kissed the soft tip of her daughter's head.
Sherly looks confused because she feels strange that Bram has come home. There was a feeling of worry in his heart as it was not usual for Bram to be home soon. He immediately asked Bram's condition which was unnatural for him if a clock like this Bram was home. Bram came home late. Not even going home. He spends more time at work than at home.
Dina smiled warmly. Dina knew what Sherly had in mind when she found out Bram was home. Then he told his daughter that Bram was fine. And Dina also said that Bram wanted to have an important conversation with her.
" What did ma talk?" Sherly replied curiously and at the same time confused. Because usually Bram will invite them to talk while at the dining table. And it's a strange thing for Sherly because her father asked her to come to his study. And plus there was something important that was discussed with him.
Dina shook her head. She also can't answer Sherly's questions because she has absolutely no idea what Bram will talk to Sherly about.
" I don't know, papa said he just wanted to talk to you." Dina answered, which made Sherly curious about what Bram would say to her.
Sherly could guess that what Bram was going to tell her must have been very important. But Sherly has no idea what Bram wants to talk to her about. Because it's not usually Bram will invite him to talk in the workspace. Sherly is a little worried about what Bram will talk to her she can also guess that the money thing Bram wants to talk to her is definitely about the company and the like.
" Us... Meet your dad in his study your dad's been waiting for you." Dina told Sherly. The one who could read the girl's mind was seen from the look on her face.
Without waiting for long Sherly immediately got up from her seat and stepped towards Bram's study.
Arriving at the door of Bram Serly's study stopped and took a deep breath before Serly knocked on the door and entered the room.
GECK..TOKK'S.
" pa. It's Sherly "Sherly said from behind the door.
Then Bram lets Sherly in. With a sweet smile on his lips he entered Bram's study.
Sherly gets curious about what Bram is talking to her about. Sherly approaches Bram and asks if what Dina says is true if Bram wants to talk to him. Bram confirms what Sherly told him. It's true that there's something important that he needs to talk to Sherly about right away. Because it concerns his future and the survival of the family and his dignity as a businessman.
" Yes... There's something you want to talk to me about." Said Bram who lifted his head and looked lovingly at Sherly.
Sherly had suspected that it was very important that Sherly sit in front of Bram and be ready to listen to what Brama wants to talk about her uncle
Bram took a deep breath before he started talking. He didn't want to surprise Sherly. He began to speak in a soft tone.
Before starting to get to the core of the conversation Bram explained and gave a little explanation to Sherly about the state of his company. Hoping that Sherly would get worried and that way Bram thought that Sherly would agree to her request. Bram began to tell a long story about his company that was on the edge of the horn.
Sherly nodded her head. Listen to what Bram told him about the state of the company. There was a worried look emanating from that pretty face. Bram's heart was very happy. Because he's convinced that Sherly won't let him down. Then he increasingly put on a face filled with pressure that makes Sherly increasingly worried about the state of Bram and the company.
" Papa's got big hopes for you, Sherly." Bram said with great emphasis and hope.
" Tell me what Serly can help. Serly would be so happy to help papa." Serly replied with a sweet smile adorning her lips
Bram took a deep breath before he finally spoke and expressed his wish. Although there was a speck of unbearable feeling with this daughter he had raised so lovingly. But again selfish feelings filled his heart. He becomes an arrogant parent and does not care about the feelings of Sherly who is his family. Bram confidently said he wanted to talk to Sherly. And he's also a thousand percent sure that Sherly won't let him down.
" Papa asked you to marry young Master Andrew." Bram.
.....!!!!!!
Hearing what Sherly's father said was so shocked. It was like lightning striking Sherly's heart. Sherly did not expect her father to ask her for this. His father knew he was too young to get married. He just wants to focus on his studies and he wants to finish his education to become a famous designer. Sherly's face was slightly disappointed by Bram's request.
Sherly shook her head in disapproval of what Bram said.
Sherly resists Bram's wishes. Sherly does not want to marry young and sacrifice her ideals. Sherly refused. However, Bram does not want to give up, but he still asks Sherly to get married. She insists on marrying Sherly to Andrew. Bram no longer cares about his daughter's future. For him love will come on its own as time goes on. Bram is further enraged and angry that Sherly still does not want to approve the marriage. Although Bram reasoned this was because. Although Sherly is already crying and begging Bram to cancel his intention to marry her.
Sherly was crying so much that she really didn't expect Bram to do that to her.
Sherly thinks that Bram has sold her to Mr. David to save his own company.
Thousands of needles pierced Sherly's heart. Bram's request could not be fulfilled at all. Serly was very disappointed. Sherly thinks Bram has pushed her down a deep abyss.
" Not selling son.but helping papa, that's the only way to save papa's company. Papa asks you, Sherly, don't turn her down so it'll be fatal." Bram said firmly. Bram has mastered selfishness and arrogance. He no longer cared about the heart of the girl in front of him who was already crying. He doesn't care what if Sherly gets married at a very young age.
Sherly lowered her head the clear liquid was steadily wetting her white cheeks. His heart ached like thousands of swords slashing at his heart. Her chest feels tight. He still could not believe what Bram was thinking. A father would do a good thing to protect his daughter not to plunge her for her ego.
" Sherly doesn't want me. Serly doesn't know Mr. David's son." Sherly lirih said. She was afraid because the man who would be her husband did not love her or know her at all. How will she live after she becomes a stranger's wife.
Bram is getting angry. He is angry and upset that Sherly has refused his wish. At first he was very sure that Sherly the child who would be devoted to his parents and Sherly would not disappoint him but all was his imagination and now Sherly refused his wishes. Bram was so angry that he got him on a blackboard.
Bram was like a volcano ready to explode. His breath was hunting fast from anger.
" The problem of knowing each other you can do later after marriage." Said Bram annoyed at the high note, all he wanted was Sherly to agree to his request and his company would be safe and away from bankruptcy. He did not want to lose the luxury that he had worked so hard to achieve.
Serly was sobbing more and more he remained with his stance. He thought why his own parents could do such a cruel thing.
Bram knows what Sherly wants. He really wants to be a person who can be proud of by achieving the ideals that he has long wanted.
Sherly tries hard to learn and is always the first.
Bram is silent and restrains his anger at Sherly's refusal. His eyes were staring intently at Sherly who was already crying.
Bram was filled with the fire of anger that had burned fiercely in him he no longer cared about anything else let alone Sherly's feelings. Now all that matters to him is the company's safety from bankruptcy and making him poor.
Sherly is increasingly unable to contain her feelings of disappointment and pain. He refused even he said it was better to live a hard life later than to be married at a very young age and with people who Sherly did not know and what else had feelings like love.
Bram continues to coerce Sherly and explains to Sherly that everything he does is solely for the common good. In his heart he was blinded by power and luxury
Sherly was crying. He does not want to obey Bram's wishes that make no sense to him.
" Papa knew Sherly was still in college when she was only 18 YEARS old how papa could ask Sherly to marry a man who serly did not know. Is it because he's a rich kid?" Shouted Sherly in between her cries.
" Look at you Sherly" Bram snapped angrily
" If you love your children, you may not prefer the company and sacrifice your own children" shouted sherly poolu
Plakkc....
A slap landed on Sherly's smooth cheek.
That smooth cheek turned red because of the slap. Sherly was silent, feeling tight. His heart made him unable to breathe. But Bram did not stop and did not put his pity on him he remained with his stance.
" It's papa do it for you and your mama for all of us. Are you not willing to sacrifice for the family after what I did for you and your mama aghh...." Hardik Bram is getting angry.
Sherly held her red cheeks. This is the first time Bram slapped her.
" Papa is evil..!" Shouted Sherly and ran out leaving Bram with his anger.
Sherly ran with tears and red cheeks from Bram's slap on her face.
Dina who heard the commotion immediately approached Bram at the door . Dina was about to open the door to Bram's study but it was opened first by Sherly who was already crying. Dina was surprised to see her daughter like that. Then Sherly steps away leaving Dina who is sculpting.
Dina stepped in closer to Bram. Dina could not help but be curious about what happened between Bram and Sherly. This was the first time Dina had seen both father and son quarrel. I don't know what's being discussed so they're like that. Dina doesn't know at all.
Dina was trying to figure out what really happened between the two of them. But not the answer he got but a murderous gaze that emanated clearly from the eyes of Bram who was red because it was so upset. Bram asks Dina to teach Sherly how to return the favor to the person who has cared for her and raised her. What else Sherly always spoiled by Bram. He was given a luxurious and comfortable life since childhood.
Hearing that Dina was so surprised she did not expect that Bram would tell her about his daughter. Dina did not expect that Bram would demand a return for what he had done to her and her daughter.
Tear drops began to quietly wet Dina's cheeks. His heart was so wounded hearing all from the mouth of the husband who had been accompanying him and received everything that was in him. Arrogant taste dominates the mind of Bram's mind at this time so that spicy and heartbreaking words are thrown from Bram's mouth.
Dina still did not understand what caused Bram to say that cruel to him about Serly. Dina tries to ask Bram and tries to find the cause.
" I want Serly to marry Mr. David's son." Bram replied without burden. He was already not thinking about Dina's heart and feelings after saying this. All he thought about was the company. And how to get out of this problem.
" What...!!!? Bram Sherly is young and in college. Are you crazy." Dina was upset and disappointed to hear what Bram said.
" I'm doing this for all of us Dina!" Snapped Bram wrathful
Dina did not expect the man who had been her husband for a long time would have the heart to do this small thing for the sake of property and company.
Even more, Dina thought Bram had brought up the past that Dina had hidden. The truth Sherly never knew. Pain in Dina's heart when Bram demands his daughter to reply. Dina knows Bram is a good man and loves Sherly. But at this time he prefers the company from his son's pad.
Dina is increasingly convinced that what Bram is doing is not solely for her and Sherly's sake but for the integrity of a company that is almost bankrupt. Bram is a selfish and arrogant man. After knowing everything Dina refused and did not support what Bram wanted to do. Because it was the wrong thing. He did not save the family as he said but instead sacrificed his family. Dian tried to explain everything but never listened to by Bram who was dominated by anger and arrogance.
Bram is upset that Dina also does not want to support and understand him
" Yes... Yes ... This is true egoku. Karan I'm afraid of losing the company and everything I've had and you're enjoying with Sherly." Bram replied that made Dina like she was shot by thousands of arrows.
Dina was so shocked by what Bram told her husband after 19 THN marriage it was the first time Bram had said that to her. Where Bram went the good man who married him lovingly. The man who always loved his family. A man who loves his wife and children.
Everything was lost because of the company and the treasure
