“This is everything?” bella asked with round eyes and mouth.
“Yes. This is it all,” Betsy replied calmly. “There is only one common house, one boarding house and one apartment. A number of deposits, savings, gold and also a few stocks with a total of about several tens of billions.”
“Several billion is a lot.” Bella unexpectedly screamed quite loudly.
“That's not even fifty billion, how can you call it a lot?” betsy looked so arrogant. “Mother Paula is the client with the least possessions.”
Bella's lips opened. She never thought that her mother Adelia could have that much for her son. Knowing so, she would rather stick to Adelia alone than have to sleep with a man much older than her.
Let alone Bella, Adelia alone to the surprise of hearing it. She knew her mother came from a rich family, but their relationship was not good. His father was quite decent, but he started from scratch and did not seem to have that much treasure. A dozen billion are already many.
“So, sister Adelia will receive all this at the age of twenty.” The notary explained. “Before that, the money can be managed by the one you trust,”
“In this case is a pair.” Farhan the lawyer added. “Do you already have a girlfriend maybe? Who is ready to marry of course.”
“I have a boyfriend, but ...”
“These wills are ridiculous.” Suddenly Aditra interrupted. “I can understand that Paula gave everything to Adelia, but to a couple? Adelia is only nineteen years old.”
“It was the wish of the lady Paula.” This time Farhan took over the conversation. “We, more precisely my company only helps to certify the will documents.”
“But wouldn't it be better to leave it to the nearest person. On his father Adelia may,” added Bella who did not want to miss the opportunity.
“The one making the will is Mrs Paula.” Betsy is back. “Only he determines what it contains. We can advise, but still can not force.”
Bella was silent to hear that. He was really upset to hear everything. Aditya may have a lot of money, but now Adelia is definitely more. At least that's what he knows now.
“Adelia.” Bella quickly put on a sad face. “Do not believe in just any man, especially your girlfriend. He must be only targeting your property, because he is poor.”
“Then, I can say the same to you right?” asked Adelia with a grimacing face. “You approached my papa for treasure.”
“Adelia.” Aditya would certainly reprimand his daughter.
“Sorry, but please don't argue here.” Farhan soon mediates, before Adelia or Bella open her mouth. “More precisely, before arguing, let's finish first the procession of reading this will."
Of course what Farhan said was just to make everything quiet. What he said next was to discuss the matter of Adelia's partner and honestly, it made Adelia very confused. The little girl with the tanned hair, didn't know what to do.
“If you are not so sure, how about meeting with your mother's candidate first?” tanya Farhan gave me an idea. “After that, you can compare which one is the most suitable.”
“How can you guys ask a nineteen year old to get married?” aditya disagreed. “She's still a kid.”
“In law, nineteen year old is married.” Farhan quickly denied.
“May I think about it first?” adelia asked still looked so confused.
The young woman's head was already full and at this moment she needed some time to herself. Adelia was not wanting to hear any of that debate. He needs a quiet place to think.
“Of course.” This time Betsy answered. “You can also ask others for their opinion if you like.”
Adelia simply nodded in response. He then quickly stood up to be able to go home immediately, even to the point of forgetting his leave. All of this was too complicated for him who did not know the law at all. Unfortunately, it's not that easy.
“Hey, wait a minute.” Not getting an answer, Bella pulls the hand of the woman she called.
“Let go of me.” Of course Adelia will shake that hand. “I want to go home.”
“You can go home after I talk,” muttered Bella trying as gently as possible. “This is for your good and for your future.”
“Since when do you care about my future?” adelia asked with a loud snort. “That you care only about yourself.”
“Adel, please.” The father eventually counselled his daughter. “I think this time Bella was right. You should hear us first.”
“OK alright.” Adelia folded her hands in front of her chest. “Just tell me I want to hear.”
“But this is in people's office lobby, Del. Maybe we can talk in a more comfortable place.” Bella quickly rejected the idea of her friend.
“I want to talk here because I want witnesses to hear. I want everyone to hear, how you only care about treasure and because of that treasure you snatched my papa from mama.”
Hearing the blasphemy, Bella glanced left and right. They were already in the lobby and there were some people listening. He didn't like the people's view of him.
“Adelia, can we talk about this issue elsewhere?” ask Aditya who has also started to feel uncomfortable. “Let's how, this is not something that should be public.”
“Lah? Who speaks here first?” Adelia would obviously feel strange. “He first pulled my hand and talked about the future.”
Aditya sighed hearing that. What her daughter said was not wrong either, although Adelia also urged to talk on the spot.
“Already. We go home first.” This time, Aditya chose to give up.
“Loh, that's it anyway.” Bella refuses to do that. “This is for the common good, Dad.”
“Lantas you want to talk here? In public?” asked the man who was much older than her lover with glaring eyes.
Bella grunts annoyed. He naturally did not want to stand in the lobby and talk a lot with Adelia who was willing to humiliate him. Moreover, the notary and the lawyer had just arrived at the lobby. Inevitably, Bella was forced to comply to leave.
Adelia would have left, but waited for the two most annoying people to leave. However, he instead saw someone who was not supposed to be in the law firm.
“Delano.”
Hearing the name being shouted, made Adelia even more confused. Moreover, the one who shouted it was the notary, Betsy. Even more confused because the greeting sounds familiar.
“Daddy?” Adelia called, when the man she knew was approaching.
“Adelia?” Delano was confused.
“Why Daddy Delano can be here?”
