Reyvan continued to stare at the face of the man who was standing not far from Jerry. He tried to remember who he was, but still failed. Reyvan doesn't remember who he is and what he has to do with it.
"Please sit down, Mr. Rey! This is my sister, Amalia Demitry, and this is my brother-in-law Adriano Beltrand. It just so happened that they came here, so .. let's eat together," Jerry said.
"Oh yes, sir." Reyvan smiled and then looked down respectfully. "Mrs Amalia, Mr. Adriano, greetings. I'm Reyvan Altan Arkatama from Indonesia" he continued.
"Greetings, please sit down!" answer Adriano.
Shortly thereafter, Reyvan sat in one of the chairs laid out there. He sat right next to Jerry, in front of Amalia and Adriano. At a glance, Reyvan glanced at Jerry, and again he caught another expression on the man's face.
"Either my feelings or it is true, Mr. Jerry's expression is not like it was yesterday afternoon. Now, he's like saving something unpleasant. Wh why? And ... Adriano here, who is he? Her face was completely unfamiliar," Reyvan inner.
A moment after Reyvan sat down, there was another middle-aged woman present there. Carrolina Agnese, Jerry's wife. Then, they began to take the dishes that had been served.
Among the many typical Spanish menus, Reyvan chose paella—a rice dish rich in saffron spices. This food is cooked with meat, seafood, and vegetables. Very pampering tongue. While drinking it, Reyvan chose hot chocholate. It is the only non-alcoholic beverage available there.
"Mr Rey, if you may know which side of Indonesia are you? Coincidentally, I have a friend who lives there," asked Adriano to open a conversation with Reyvan.
Jerry and Carrolina looked at each other. The look in their eyes implied a feeling of displeasure.
"I live in Jakarta, the Capital of Indonesia. Which city do you live in, sir?" Reyvan asked back.
"I don't know exactly where, I'll ask." Adriano smiling. "Jakarta, what a coincidence. He can get here, certainly not just anyone. I'll find out about you" he said in his heart.
After that, no more conversation. Jerry and Carrolina were more silent, even with Amalia and Adriano. Reyvan kept quiet and enjoyed his dinner.
But Adriano was not really quiet. While bribing half the food, he pulled out his phone and found out about Reyvan Altan Arkatama. Then, his sneaky smile was perfectly reviewed when he found out about Arkatama Group, a fairly large property company.
"This is the way to get what I want" Adriano said.
About half an hour later, dinner was over. The dirty equipment was brought to the kitchen by the waiter. They stay talking. Although sometimes it sounds like laughter, but actually very awkward. Reyvan can feel that.
"Mr Reyvan, actually I also want to renovate the office building. But, the designs submitted by some architects are still not fit. Would you be willing to look at my office and try to come up with a design for me?" Adriano spoke seriously again.
"Design? For You?" Reyvan surprised.
Judging from his appearance, Adriano was not a simple person. In fact, he looked more established compared to Jerry. What a fortune I would have if I could work with him. However, something big is unlikely to come so easily, unless there is another intent to join.
"Yes. Although I don't know who you are yet, but looking at your persistence I'm interested. You dare to come here, of course your design is not simple. I'm sure your abilities aren't simple" Adriano replied.
Reyvan nodded slowly, what Adriano said was quite reasonable, although it was still difficult to digest.
"alright. I'll try" Reyvan said moments later.
"Thank you very much. It's a fortune to meet you" said Adriano.
"I'm the luckier one, sir." Reyvan smiled broadly.
"Sister-in-law, stay here. Let me drive Mr. Rey. Calculate it while discussing the design I want," Adriano said. Although he looks reluctant, Jerry echoed the proposal.
After Adriano and Reyvan left, Jerry looked at his brother with a little sharp.
"Sister, now what else do you want? Can't life be good without making a mess?" Jerry talking cynically.
Amalia laughed, "What are we doing? We just came here to visit you, you happen to have guests."
Jerry snorted, he knew Amalia's answer was just pretend. Since yesterday her brother had known that he would have guests from Indonesia.
"I should keep this secret tight, that way they won't act out" he said.
"You see me, brother, not starving despite not cheating. I can support my wife's children well. Then why can't you? Why so greedy, not even to think of others? You know, he's also a man created by God. You guys don't be arbitrary. Remember, karma is real!" said Jerry was trying to wake up his brother. While Carrolina, she chose silence. Tired of giving much advice, the edges are only denigrated because social status is not as good as Amalia and her husband.
"That's it, there's no need to talk much. The proof is, you can't be like me, right? Everyone in this country knows who I am, they are vying for shelter under the Beltrand Group. They adore and flatter me, no one dares to insult. You think ... This isn't an extraordinary achievement?" amalia answered proudly.
"Yes, that was amazing. But, it's not your right if you forget, brother. There are so many lives you have sacrificed for your ambition!" Jerry's voice was slightly raised.
"Then, why? There must be a struggle that is sacrificed."
"But, that doesn't mean sacrificing family, brother!" jerry quickly.
"My family is you, not___" Amalia hung up the sentence just like that because Adriano was back there.
Amalia again sat quietly with her elegant attitude, as if there was no discussion of anything between her and Jerry.
However, unexpectedly, Jerry immediately took action. He hurried to his feet and cast a sharp glare towards Adriano.
"Sister-in-law, Mr. Rey is my man. You don't throw him in your dirty tricks!" said Jerry.
"Your people? Your partnership with him hasn't been established and you said he was your man. Very funny, Sister-in-law." Adriano chuckles.
"She__"
"Enough!" adriano snapped with a more deadly look. "Destroying your business as well as your family, it's very easy, not for a day. So, take care of your attitude if you want to survive. Understand!"
"You!" furious Jerry.
"It has. Let's just listen to what Brother says." Carrolina clasped Jerry's hand and tried to calm her emotions.
Carrolina will no longer oppose Adriano. As long as he doesn't bother his family, let him do what he wants. Because for Carolina, Adriano was no longer a human, but a demon.
"Killing his biological sister alone he was brave, let alone me and Jerry who were just sisters-in-law," Carrolina said.
