Only Raised Children
81. The inauguration of ZW Corps

So many guests who came to attend the inauguration in a hotel ballroom in the city. Almost all of the guests there are successful business people who are colleagues and brothers of Thomas Wilson and Zara Diandra. 

Irfan Renaldi and his family had arrived there early because they did not want to miss the slightest moment at the event. Rico's appearance that night that looks very charismatic makes it the center of attention of some people there. Several young women also stared in admiration at the handsome man. Although uncomfortable with the gaze of the women there but, Rico tried to keep smiling kindly so as not to embarrass his parents.

Five minutes from the appointed hour, Alina's family came from a special door. Their arrival made the music that was originally played loudly into a groove, even the atmosphere in the ballroom was now quiet. Many of them were waiting for the Wilson family. Even almost the average of them is very much looking forward to the presence of the family.

Whispers began to be heard from the invited guests. Some who do not know or just hear the name Wilson so far will feel very surprised with the faces in front there. While for those who know Thomas or Zara since they still live in this city, they look to admire the figure of the couple who has long been famous for intelligence, good looks and beauty, and beauty, and their family's success. In fact, they began to wonder where Thomas and Zara disappeared during this time, so that when they returned they could be more developed from both parents respectively. 

Of all the people in the ballroom, some people were surprised by the figure of Alina in front there. Those who know Alina has a relationship with Irfan Renaldi's son clearly do not believe that Alina is the youngest daughter of successful businessman Thomas Wilson. Even Rebecca who happened to be there with her parents was shocked to find that Alina was from a great family.

Throughout the event, there were some people who realized the clothes Rico used were very similar to those worn by Alfian and Morgan. That person who initially told his co-workers about it then quickly some people in the room were aware of it, too, so that made several pairs of eyes staring at Rico while whispering. But for some people who know Rico's relationship with Alina does not care about it and only focus on Alina's family who are ahead there. 

Rico who accidentally saw the glances of some people in the middle of his focus on the delivery of the Alina family in front of him, then shifted his eyes. He looked astonished as the people there stared at him in an unusual manner. 

Some words have been successfully conveyed by Thomas and his children, now they approach one by one the important guests who are there. And the last guest they approached was Irfan and his family who were currently sitting on the VIP bench that had been provided.

"Hi" said Thomas. 

"Congratulations, Tom, on your great achievement. Although I know that your prowess is more than this."

Thomas chuckled at Irfan's words, his friend praising him too much.

In addition to Irfan, Santi and Rico also congratulated Thomas and his wife. Not to forget Morgan and Alfian also received praise from them for their success at a young age.

"It's enough to praise it, let's enjoy the event while eating the food that has been provided," said Thomas.

They also agreed and immediately returned to sit his body in a chair while chatting casually. Some entertainment events enlivened by two top artists make the atmosphere look alive. But at the family table Alina and Rico, the people there are focusing on talking about their two children's relationship that will be married in the next few months.

"Alright, then we will arrange the time for the next meeting yes," said Irfan and asserted everyone who was there.

Alina and Rico seemed to smile happily with each other's eyes, they were very happy because their respective families were very supportive of their relationship, even looking excited to announce it in front of the crowd.

The entertainment event was at a break of a few minutes for an important announcement. The artists who had enlivened the event were now asked to wait for a moment and the event was taken over by Thomas himself. The man stood alone on the stage. Although he was no longer young, but his stoutness did not make the man look like an old man who already had grandchildren. 

"The audience of your colleagues, as well as beloved friends. In addition to introducing our newly established company in this city, tonight I will make an announcement that is no less important to all of you."

"Yes, although this announcement is not very important to you, it will be very important to us as a family."

"Well, tonight I'm going to announce that our youngest daughter Alina is going to have a wedding with her boyfriend who you probably already know. He is a handsome man who is none other than the son of a famous businessman, Irfan Renaldi. For Alina and Rico to be able to come forward, honey?" thomas said to his daughters.

Alina and Rico smiled as they looked kindly at the people around. The people who were there were staring at the young couple cheering while clapping.

"This is my son, his name is Alina" Thomas said as Alina and Rico were on stage. "Alina will be getting married in the coming months with Rico. Maybe the average of you must already know who Rico is. Especially if you know Irfan Renaldi, it is impossible not to know with this handsome man yes, right."

Everyone chuckled little to hear Thomas say.

"I announce this relationship between our two children to you not to boast or any other bad thing. We make this announcement in the hope that you here can wish the best for our two beautiful and handsome children."

Long enough Thomas spoke on stage with the pride of Rico and Alina. Everyone in the room seemed to be flattering for the two families who would become families later. The businessmen who had a son thought that Rico was lucky to have gotten Alina who came from that distinguished family. Vice versa, entrepreneurs who choose girls, they will feel if Alina is very lucky to have obtained Rico who comes from a distinguished family.

But for some people who know who Rico is in the Renaldi family, they will think the opposite of both opinions. They thought that Alina was a fool for choosing Rico, who was only an adopted child, whose wealth was not permanent to her.

After Thomas finished with his words in front there, now they get off the stage and immediately invite his family and Alina's family to go first from there. They left behind an event that now left some entertainment that would accompany the end of their encounter tonight.
