“Can we talk to you for a minute?” Aris without further ado, went straight to the table where Adelia and the friends were sitting.
“Father already spoke.” Adelia answered with a pacifier. This time, he chose to speak politely. Let's say, they are still in the campus area.
“I mean, talk to both.” Aris quickly corrected. “I need to talk alone with you.” Repeat the lecturer, staring at the other two people on the table.
Adelia did not answer. He first thought, while looking at his two worried-looking friends. Let's just how, Marcel's talk made everyone anxious.
“But I still want to be in a crowded place and can be watched by two of my friends this.” Adelia finally agreed to talk to each other.
“After not believing it on me?” Aris frowned at the sign of dislike.
“After what happened, you think I still believe?” adelia asked with her eyebrows raised. “You and my papa are planning a kidnapping and it's a criminal act.”
Aris growled at hearing that. What Adelia said was right and she had no choice but to comply with the request of the young woman in front of her.
“So what does Mr Aris want to talk about?” adelia asked after they had sat alone. “If you can, don't take too long because after this I have an appointment.”
“You want to meet that office boy?” Aris laughed grimly, when saying that. “What a great he compared to me.”
“First. Daddy Delano is not an office boy anymore.” Adelia began to explain. “Both. He never committed any criminal act. He also never forced his will on me.”
“I'm sorry for that one, but that doesn't mean your boyfriend won't do the same.” Aris tries to seduce. “He is poor, given a little money he would want to be told anything.”
“I also gave him money,” reply Adelia calmly. “As long as the money I give is bigger, Daddy Delano will listen more to me.”
“But that does not mean there is no higher offer right?” asked Aris confidently. “There are still many people who want to pay dearly, for a man like him.”
Adelia's forehead shriveled hearing that. For some reason, the sentence issued by the lecturer sounded a bit strange in his ear. Too bad, Adelia could not interpret properly and the man was already standing up from his seat.
“I just want to say be careful on him.” Aris spoke again, before actually leaving. “There are people who will always want you to be unhappy and will use any means to do that. Then I, will still try to approach you.”
“If the forced way does not work, I will try even more gently,” continued Aris with a thin smile on her face.
Hearing that, Adelia could only sigh in resignation. She couldn't possibly forbid Aris from having feelings for her and she couldn't reprimand anymore either. That's Aris's right and he's also pretty stupid.
“It's okay, Adelia. Daddy's not that bad and Aris will also be aware.” The woman muttered in her heart.

“Wah, your work is neat yes.” Someone praised.
“It feels like an exaggeration. I only work according to the instructions.” Delano was as low as ever.
“No. This is neat and the report is also nothing wrong, most just a little typo.” Others who praise.
Delano's smile grew wider and wider, and his face was also slightly red. In fact, he really does work according to directions only.
“Oma is happy because it turns out you seem to be at home and your job is good.” Oma Tessa, who took the time to look at Delano, praised him.
“Oh, stop low.” Oma Tessa waved her hand. “I know you it's actually brilliant, it's just that it's in the wrong place.”
“Thank you for the compliment, but I think it remains excessive.” Delano is still low.
“Let him alone, Ma. I think this kid would rather be called no becus.” Om Bayu ultimately chose to be funny, even though it was not funny at all.
“Basic you this.” Oma Tessa will obviously reprimand. “Your humorous taste is not good at all.”
“Ya already.” Now Oma Tessa turned to the young man standing in front of her. “You must still have a lot of work and this is also close to home hours. You can go.”
Delano immediately heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. He actually did not have enough work, but the clock back home was almost here. Today, he already has an appointment with Adelia and needs to get home on time.
“Oi, No.” Mr. Jamal, the owner of the boarding house, called when Delano had just arrived at the boarding gate. “New home?”
“Iya, sir. But this is leaving again.” Although he knew it was just a small talk, Delano still answered politely.
“But it's a guest for you.” Mr. Jamal said that with a suspicious look. “Female. Again pregnant.”
Of course Delano's forehead shriveled hearing that. Though he had just returned to the boarding house, only to get Adelia the item that had been left behind for a long time. Then suddenly, there was a pregnant mother who was his guest.
“Bella?” Delano called out hesitantly, as he looked at who was his guest.
“Sweetie you still remember me. Delano right?” bella asked with a big smile.
“What are you doing here?” Delano asked back. “Adelia no longer lives here. She lives at her mom's house.”
“I know.” Bella nodded slowly. “Therefore I came here to meet you. I just want to talk four-eyes. There is a time, right?”
“Sorry, but it doesn't seem to be.” Delano quickly refused. He did not even bother sitting in the shared living room on the first floor of his boarding house. “I have an appointment.”
“Just for a moment and this also concerns Adelia and your life going forward.”
Delano's forehead immediately crinkled to hear his guest's speech just now. He had no idea what Bella meant. How can a pregnant woman determine her future.
“I want to propose a deal with you,” muttered Bella more cleanly because this is something that can be said to be secret.
“Whatever it is, I don't think I'd be interested.” Delano quickly refused, though he had not heard anything.
“Then it is in the form of billions of rupiah?” ask Bella carefully.
“What do you mean?” delano looked confused.
“I offer you billions of dollars, Delano,” reply Bella with a smile full of victory. He felt that the man who was much older than him, had started to be tempted.
“Just help me a little and you can get some of Adelia's legacy,” continued the pregnant woman with a smile that was getting wider because Delano looked shaky.
