Marriage to Mr. Henry
14. Piqued

"Ehm…." Henry cleared his throat seeing Hanson so fixedly looking at Nia. Either he felt unwilling that Nia was seen so by Hanson.

"Oh, Brother Henry." Hanson raised his hand to shake his brother's hand, but as usual, Henry turned to ignore Hanson's hand. Unwelcome, Hanson was forced to withdraw his hand again and joined the dinner.

A quiet atmosphere enveloped the dining room. It's been a long-standing tradition in the Sanjaya family. They abstain from eating while chatting, if you want to talk later if you have finished eating. Only the spoon and the plate are clashing.

"Are you a student at XY University??" hanson asked when he had finished eating and Grandpa Sanjaya had passed first. Henry either escaped from the dining room.

"Yes, Mister, I am indeed a student at XY university," Nia replied as she helped the aunt clean the dinner table.

"That's it, Non, let me just." Aunty felt bad Nia intervened. Although not yet introduced directly, the Aunt had heard that Nia was the wife of Mr. Henry.

"That's okay, I can help you even if it's just a little." Nia felt unbearable as if the aunt had already entered the age of five heads.

"Then I'll come too" said Hanson holding a tray of fruits.

"Okay, aunt so not good anyway," said Aunt awkward to see the two grandchildren boss was busy cleaning the dining table.

"Not every day either, Bi." Hanson chimed in.

They help each other wash dishes. They're very compact.

"Oh, you're not the one who entered my class this morning late?" hanson asked on the sidelines putting a clean plate onto the shelf.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, Mister."

"Jeez, this off-campus just call me Hanson." He felt uncomfortable being called Mister off campus.

"Sorry," said Nia lowering her head.

"Are you really married to my sister??" ask Hanson again.

"Eh, yes."

"But ya haven't had a party yet, so it's closed because my dad's in the hospital."

"Oh, deserved." Hanson nodded his head.

"Why?"

"Not invited anyone."

"Well, after all, we are just a contract marriage where maybe your sister wants the law, " said Nia of course only in her heart.

"Tomorrow you're coming in too, right??" Nia nodded.

"Yes, the work here is done I go in first."

"B-good please." Nia sat back in the dining room alone.

In Grandpa Sanjaya's study.

Mayda locked the door and Grandpa Sanjaya sat in her big chair.

"Pa, does Papa agree with Henry's marriage?" Mayda was sitting in the front seat of Grandpa Sanjaya's desk.

"Do you see if this Papa agrees??" Mayda frowned.

"It looks like it, yes."

"Yes, indeed Papa agrees, it's Papa's hope that Henry can get married as soon as possible."

"But not the same girl haphazardly dong, Pa." Mayda's protest did not agree that Grandpa Sanjaya instead supported Henry and Nia's marriage.

"It looks like he's good too" Grandpa Sanjaya said.

"What about Alena??" Grandpa Sanjaya frowned.

"Alena?? The son of Alan's group?"

"What's wrong, Mayda?? Isn't it nice that Henry didn't get to be with that spoiled girl??"

"It's not so, Pa. But we don't know where Henry took the woman. Moreover, I saw that he was very rude." Mayda keeps pumping on Grandpa Sanjaya.

"Ah, never mind, this is in agreement with Papa and the late Roman Sanjaya, if Henry can marry whoever he loves."

"It can't be that, Pa."

"May, is this still the age of matchmaking? Enough of me and his grandmother Henry who became a matchmaking match, do not get to my grandchildren," said Grandpa Sanjaya steady. Mayda just gave a small sigh.

"Then what about the position that Henry currently filled??" mayda asked to switch the conversation.

"Henry remains CEO."

"And Hanson??" Meya reminds him that he has two sons.

"Hanson let him by his choice. Being an educator is not a bad job."

"What about this company??"

"I told you, Henry's capable."

"If you can be sure the company's finances become chaotic."

"Pope believes Henry."

Mayda also stood up from her chair, she felt disappointed her complaint was not responded by her former in-laws. Instead of persuading Hanson to help grow the company, Grandpa Sanjaya supported the decision of his second son.

Actually when they were talking to each other, Henry listened carefully from outside the room. Henry seemed to smile with satisfaction as his grandfather agreed to maintain his position as CEO of Sanjaya group.

"It turns out Grandpa trusted me like this." Different faces are different, that's Grandpa Sanjaya. Actually, Henry had been afraid from the beginning if he did not approve of his marriage to Nia.

"Henry, when were you there?" Selidin Mayda was so out of Grandpa Sanjaya's room.

"Just through, why the hell, Ma?" henry asked pretending not to understand the content of the conversation between Mayda and Kakej Sanjaya.

"It's okay." Mayda just passed by Henry. It's been a habit of his since, both Mayda and Henry are so ignorant of each other, only to talk when there are things that need to be done. Unlike Hanson, Mayda is always warm with her second child. I don't know why he distinguishes his two sons so much.

"Yes, Mama wants to go up first." Mayda left Henry alone.

"Oh, tomorrow don't forget there's another class, right?" Henry looked at where the voice came from. Hanson and Nia. They look very familiar.

"Oh, so you're Nia's lecturer?" Henry's investigation into Hanson.

"Heem, he's my lecturer" replied Nia. He did not expect the world to be so narrow. That handsome lecturer was what Nia actually looked at secretly but Hanson's attitude on campus was only known as a scary killer lecturer. But Nia felt challenged, uh even now she became his sister-in-law. Huh, it sucks indeed.

"Nia, come on in." Henry took Nia to the room. Tonight they were asked by Grandpa Sanjaya to stay the night. Nia complied with her husband's will, because indeed she was pulled rough by Henry.

"You've known Hanson for a long time?" henry asked Nia when they got to the room, not forgetting Henry locked the door.

"Here you go, she's my lecturer" said Nia lazily discussing about Hanson.

"You moved to college." Nia's eyes widened.

"Honest of all, I'm not going to move" said Nia.

"Why??"

"I went to college there to fight, even if it wasn't for the scholarship I wouldn't be able to go to college."

"I'll finance you." Either Henry just doesn't like to see Nia familiar with Hanson.

"Huh, cocky! I prefer my own results." Nia dropped herself on a super soft mattress.

"Who asked you to sleep there?"

"Bodo very! If you don't want to sleep on the floor there." Nia pulls her blanket without caring about Henry anymore.
