Marrying a Sister-in-law Candidate
I'm fooled
The morning was bright, the sun was shining as if trying to wake up Miss Afika Hadiwijaya.
ring.kring...
The alarm went off at 6am. Afika also tried to blink her eyes resisting her drowsiness and then instinctively yawned.
"Hoaahhmm.ah I am so sore today" said Afika.
tock.tok..
The sound of the door being knocked.
"Miss Afika are you awake?" anggi.
"Come in Anggi."
Anggi entered Afika's room with a tablet in his hand.
"Miss at 08:00 meeting with investors from Japan. At 10:00 fittings bridal dress in Hwang Tailor. At 14:00 the board meeting was related to Miss Japanese investors" Anggi explained.
"Because at 10:00 the lady must fit the clothes then the meeting with the directors at the retreat at 14:00"
"Is it that important Mr. Hwang to back off my meeting? Can the schedule to Hwang Tailor be changed at 14.00 noon? I don't like to go back and forth in the office like that" Afika protested.
"I will make a reservation first. Miss, please take a shower and have breakfast."
"Hmmm..."
Afika took a bath and wore a maroon suit suit with black interior and not to forget 3cm black heels with hair on the ponytail. With the tablet in hand he was checking the preparations for his meeting.
Then Afika went downstairs and had breakfast with her parents.
"If it's breakfast first, the tablet put it first" said the mother.
"Yes, Afika was studying the curve of the company's economic growth. Mr. Yamamoto will definitely ask about it." explained Afika with her eyes that could not be separated from the tablet.
"You don't have to worry that Dhimas will help you" said the father.
"Mas Dhimas helps, how do you mean?" ask Afika.
"Dhimas yesterday helped Dad to lobby Mr. Yamamoto to invest in our company. Incidentally, Dhimas company is a multinational vendor, so a little bit of Dhimas has helped our company to reach investors to invest in HDW Group.
Afika just remembered when he was with Devan and 2 friends met with Dhimas at the Astrawijaya hotel, at that time Fikry secretary Dhimas mentioned that Mr. Yamamoto is coming.
"So later during the meeting Dhimas became the spokesperson of our Company Afika. You don't have to worry too much." Dad explained.
"Good Dad."
"How come is Mr.Hwang on schedule at 14:00?" ask Afika.
"Sorry Miss Mr. Hwang will land in Singapore at 12:00 so cannot be delayed until 14:00."
"Ok is okay."
"Today you all come to the office just so that at 10 we will go directly to Hwang Tailor with Dhimas as well."
"Ok ma'am" said Afika.
After breakfast, they leave for the office. Afika's father and mother used her luxury sedan with Secretary Wilham while Afika used her personal car with Secretary Anggi.
When in the car Anggi took the time to check his cellphone whether there was a notification from Devan. It turns out there is nothing, usually if it is not told 5 minutes he has been babbling. The last time they communicated was when Afika finished holding a board meeting. Then Afika also recalled the incident yesterday when Devan was in the car with Chelsea. Afika thought about asking Secretary Wilham directly about the investigation he ordered yesterday,but because Wilham was in the car with his father and mother Afika could not call him at this time even though he was very curious about the results of Wilham's investigation.
'i should just focus my mind for a meeting later' he murmured inwardly

In Office.
The Commissioner and President Director's car arrived in front of the HDW Group Building lobby.
One by one they got out of the car, followed by their respective Personal Secretaries. All employees respect them by bowing their heads and saying Good Morning. Some are really sincere to say there are also those who are trying to find face with the higher-ups. Yes, that is common in the world of work.
They headed to the 5th floor and immediately headed for their respective rooms.
Shortly from that Dhimas car arrived at the HDW Group office lobby and went straight to the 5th floor where the Main Commissioner's room was located.
After arriving at the 5th floor lobby, Afika and Secretary Wilham were talking, when Dhimas came the two reflexively looked directly at Dhimas.
"Good Morning Afika, Miss Wilham."
"For Mas.. Morning Lord Dhimas." said Afika and Wilham simultaneously.
"Is Mr Chandra in the room?" ask Dhimas.
"There's Lord Dhimas. Let me drop off." said Wilham.
"Thank you, Mr. Wilham, I'd like to have a quick chat with Afika."
"Good sir."
"Afika can we talk in your room?" Dhimas.
"Oh yes please. Come Mas. Secretary Wilham after I had a conversation with Mr. Dhimas immediately to my room ya." pinta Afika.
"Well miss."
Afika and Dhimas headed to his room.
"Has breakfast?" ask Afika.
"It's Fika."
"Please sit down, Oh yes, what do you want Mas to talk to me about?" ask Afika.
"It's about Devan and Chelsea's information."
"Tell me well."
"Before hearing this news I hope you can temper your emotions."
"According to the research conducted by my men. They declare that Devan and Chelsea are lovers and are getting married next month."
"What?" asked Afika half in shock.
"Whoever?" ask Afika again.
"Yes, at first they were betrothed long ago to their parents. But besides that, they like each other."
"How long have they been lovers?"
"Since their meeting for matchmaking was 2 years ago."
"2 years ago? But that was the time of my relationship with him. How come?"
"Okay, they just say so. If you really want to know next I'll do further research."
"Don't let me find my own thing."
"Are you okay after hearing this?"
"I'm fine if this news is true I'll become more convinced by our marriage at least I won't have the guilt of having left Devan. But I'll figure out Devan's motive for approaching me all this time in my own way."
"Alright if that's what you want. Ohya talks about work. Today is a meeting with Japanese investor Mr. Yamamoto you take it easy I will handle all this."
"Thank you" said Afika.
"Then I went straight to Om Chandra's room first." said Dhimas.
"Yes..."
Dhimas.
"Hm.."
Afika approached Dhimas and corrected the Dhimas tie which was accidentally slightly tilted. With a little tiptoe even though Afika has been wearing heels 3 cm with a height of 170 cm Afika still have to tiptoe when dealing with Dhimas who incidentally Dutch descent and has a height of about 186 cm.
"After that's your tie tilted, here I help fix it."
Dhimas watched Afika gently and kissed her forehead.
cupps..
Afika was shocked and blinked her eyes.
"Mas... soon I will be your wife so something like this will be your daily food" said Afika with a red face.
Cup.. Dhimas dipped the right cheek of Afika because Dhimas was so anxious with the shy but willing expression Afika gave.
"And you also have to adapt to this." Dhimas said as he passed into Mr. Chandra's room. Afika lives with her face flushed like a tomato on her cheek.

After Dhimas came out of his room Afika told Secretary Wilham to come to his room .
"Please tell Secretary Wilham to come to my room immediately "
"None"
Then Anggi immediately to the room of his father who is Secretary Wilham, while bringing food supplies from his mother who forgot to be taken by his father because they had left in a different car.
tock.tok.
"Lake in."
"Miss Anggi's father called for Father to immediately go to his room "
"Yes well, I'm going to the office."
"Yes dad. This is my food box left at home because I was in such a hurry."
"Oh yeah I forgot. Thank you son.. Forgive me for being a little forgetful for the many things I have to take care of."
"Never mind's. Stay healthy's. I'm back in dad's room."
"OK."
When Secretary Wilham arrived at the boardroom.
tock.tok..
Secretary Wilham knocked on the door of the room
"Yes in." replied Afika.
"For Miss. Can I help you?"
"Yes Secretary Wilham, have you heard from your informants about Devan and Chelsea?"
"Yes Miss. Maybe this info is a bit uncomfortable for Miss."
"Call down, say it."
"Devan and Chelsea were already betrothed by their families two years ago. Devan initially refuses because he already has a girlfriend, Miss Afika. But after Devan told her about Miss Afika to his family, especially the father opposed her because her relationship with Mr. Chandra was not good it should be said they were sworn enemies. Then Devan said that he would accept this match, but please do not disturb his relationship with Miss until graduation" Wilham said at length.
Afika listened carefully
"Find out when they're getting married, where and please figure out Devan's motive for approaching me."
"None"
After Wilham left Afika's room, he was amazed by Wilham's explanation. Her tears seemed to be inundated because even though Devan accepted the match, she still wanted to be with Afika. And that made Afika disappointed and angry.
"You can hang my heart. Maybe it was true when I just returned to Indonesia and the one who picked up Devan's phone was Chelsea. They were having fun behind my back. All of Chelsea's words at the time were true. I fooled their game. Why do I look so stupid in front of them."
