Not a Priority

El who finished out of the room and headed to the back garden where he held a party. Join a family that has gathered.

Choosing a seat next to Freya, made the beautiful girl between two handsome men.

Freya who saw El is still in shy mode. So far he knows El indeed only this time he saw El with a towel on the waist.

Even though he had seen El while swimming in his swimsuits, it somehow felt different. He slightly justified his papa saying that if he had grown up and it would be different if both.

A moment El sat down. Theo Julina - grandfather Freya is coming. He is indeed deliberately invited by Bryan, considering he is Freya's grandfather.

“Please Uncle,” Bryan told Theo.

“Thank you for inviting me, Bry.” Theo sat down next to Daniel. He had been friends with Daniel for a long time. Until finally his friendship decreased in his children and grandchildren.

Bryan stood up, raised the glass and tapped it with a spoon, gesturing to the guests. “Today we gather to celebrate the return of El and Freya. I hope they can start their work here. Achieve what the two of them aspire to.”

Everyone knows what Bryan said. Wishing the best to Freya and El.

Continuing the event, they started eating together. Enjoy the show by exchanging stories. All late in the party tonight. The warm susana created makes everyone feel happy.

After they finished eating, they continued to talk. The women chatted alone and the men themselves. Different discussions made them into two camps.

“Cucumu Al is really great. I salute her,” Thea said while chatting with Daniel. “He is one of the great young entrepreneurs,” he added while patting Al on the shoulder.

“He is great, two years he has shown his achievements.” Daniel chimed in on Theo's remarks.

“Yes, you two are lucky to have grandchildren like Al,” Thea told Daniel and Andrew.

Andrew and Daniel as Al's grandfather feel proud, but the sentence conveyed Theo is too to the point considering there is El next to him.

“You should come home with Al at that time El, so you can already be as successful as Al now,” Theo told El.

Bryan, Felix, Daniel, and Andrew are increasingly surprised by Theo's remarks. They thought maybe Theo was telling the truth, but he indirectly compared the more successful Al to El.

“Because there's something I need to do first, Cake. So coming back wasn't my priority back then.” El calmly answered.

El's answer that looked unscrupulous made all feel relieved.

“The success of each child is different, Pa,” Felix defended.

“Yes, but an opportunity should not be wasted. ” Theo was a little upset when he answered his son's words. He was very disappointed with Felix. If his son wanted to grow his company, as Al did, he might now be the CEO of Julan Company.

Felix was very lazy to reply to his papa. He realized that his father was tucking his pity into his speech.

“You should, El, develop your daddy business with the knowledge you have. That way the family company can continue.” Theo looked at El and advised him. “Don't be like Felix who chose to work in another company.”

Felix was upset to see his papa act. It could be that his papa said that, when it clearly has nothing to do with Eleg. The atmosphere is getting tense. Felix who saw it finally chose to end it all. “Ayo El, it looks like this chat does not match us.” Felix pulls El's hand and invites El to leave.

Theo who was getting annoyed, vented his frustration. “The child always just won't listen to parents.”

“Child has his own choice. As parents we should provide support.” When his friend is emotional like this, Daniel tries to calm down. “Come we should chat with enjoying a cup of coffee.” Daniel looked at Andrew giving the code to go with him.

After a few people left, there lived Al, Bryan and Regan who were still standing in their original place.

“You don't want to chase El and calm him down?” ask Regan. Even though his son was praised, he still felt unacceptable when El received bad treatment from Theo. To him, El was also his son.

“There's Felix, I'm sure he's fine.” Bryan smiled, feeling his son was in good hands.

Felix takes El to his rooftop. There is a gazebo to enjoy the night sky. Through the side stairs, they went there and enjoyed time together.

El smile. Actually, he was not offended. “Why didn't Papa continue Grandpa Theo's business?” Curiosity surrounded his heart.

“Because at that time I didn't like him. So I chose not to be part of his company. I chose to work together with your daddy. Your own grandfather taught us and I got comfort.”

El nodded to find Felix's answer. “Then why allow Freya to continue?”

“As bad as I am, I can't bear to see my parents. So I let Freya continue so that papa doesn't feel if his lineage won't continue his company. Anyway Fryea seems to like the job she will be doing.”

“Yes, he always said that he would be the CEO of Julian.” El smiled remembering what Freya often said.

“Keep trying, I'm sure you'll be more successful than your grandfather and daddy.” Felix patted El on the shoulder.

“Thank you, Pa.” El smile. When there was so much support, he felt so excited.

“Do you like Freya?” felix Goda.

El gasps to find Felix's question. His mouth froze not knowing what to answer. “A-a-aku .. “ answer is stamped.

“No need to answer. I'm just envious sometimes, because you're much closer to Freya than I am.” Felix switched the conversation, not wanting to make El misbehave with his question.

“Maybe because we are close from small, Pa.”

“Iya, maybe because of that,” replied Felix, “thank you, El, you've been looking after Freya during college.”

“I do it because while working, Pa. So don't thank me.”

Felix simply replied with a smile.

“Why are you here?”

While being engrossed, a voice sounded from the direction of the stairs. Freya walked over to her father and friend.

“Where did you know we were here?” El asks instead of answering Freya's question.

“I saw you guys earlier, so I followed. Why are you here?” Freya chose to sit between Felix and El. Making two friends and her papa gives room for Freya to sit down.

“We just talked,” El explained.

“Should both be so?” freya asked still in disbelief.

“Already, Papa wants to come back.” Felix didn't want to answer his son's questions and chose to leave.

“Pa, are you keeping something a secret?” asked Freya shouting.

“If you guys are done chatting go back down.” Felix didn't answer Freya's question.

Finding her papa dodging, Freya looked at El. “What do you talk to?” tanyakanya. He wondered why he should talk to both of them.

"Talking about our marriage."

Freya's eyes were round, not expecting El to do that. They are clearly friends.
