Second Fate Adriana
Adriana Larasati

Exactly at five in the afternoon working hours are over, but not for Adriana. His hands were so deftly grabbing the documents he would bring to meet his client.

Adriana this afternoon has made an appointment with Frans about the obstacles that became her project, in the hope that Frans will receive an alternative solution that Adriana offers.

Adriana immediately grabbed a black handbag along with the car keys and documents she had prepared, her step so quickly left the Permata Gallery office.

Frans asks Adriana to meet at his house. Frans' home address has Adriana got via whatsapp that has been sent

by the owner of the house.

About a half-hour drive Adriana began to lower the speed of her car. Both eyes are looking for a large house painted with a white fence on the right side of the road if from the direction of Adriana's office. According to the instructions Frans gave.

Adriana soon found the house. Adriana pulled over her car, got out of the car and pressed the bell next to the gate.

Before long a man who was likely a gardener working in the house appeared, the man came to open the gate for Adriana.

"Good afternoon, what's the need?"

So polite the middle-aged man greeted Adriana.

"Sore sir, is this Frans' house?"

Adriana tried to ascertain the address she was going to.

"Betul neng, what's the need?"

"I need to talk about work sir. I made an appointment with him this afternoon. Is Frans there?"

"There is no neng. Let's go in. Let the car just get in."

So polite the middle-aged man allowed Adriana to park her car in the yard of Frans's mansion.

Adriana's steps now towards the terrace of the house. From a distance of five meters Adriana has watched Frans who was chatting with a little girl who was around the age of three years.

The boy was very adorable, his skin was white, nose pointed and eyebrows thick with bulging cheeks.

"Assalamualaikum sir Frans. . ."

Adriana greets Frans at the end of the terrace.

"Eh son Adriana, walaikumsalam. Let's get in here."

Frans was so enthusiastic to welcome the arrival of a beautiful woman dressed in a mocca hijab, then he invited her into the living room with a color design that was in line with Adriana's hijab.

"Opa opa. . aunty tantik. . "

The little girl pointed at Adriana, as if she wanted to get acquainted with Adriana.

"Introduction dong same as tantenya."

Said Frans to his grandson.

"Hay. . Beautiful, whose name is it?"

Adriana begins her conversation with the adorable dark-eyed boy.

"Lania aunt..."

"Mania. . ."

Frans confirmed the word granddaughter.

Suddenly Rania immediately approached Adriana asking to sit on her lap so spoiled.

"Atantic aunt emen Lithuania."

Adriana was confused by the boy's language. Adriana's eyes beckoned Frans to explain.

"Beautiful aunt temen Rania said."

It really makes Adriana laugh at the behavior of the boy.

"Dear, we're friends."

Adriana hooks her little finger with Rania's tiny little finger.

The boy was very pleased with Adriana's presence. During this time Rania never felt playing with friends her age, her mother was always busy alone, often ignoring the existence of Rania who was only cared for by her caregivers.

Frans and Adriana started talking about the constraints of her business project. Some alternative properties that are not available in Permata Gallery try Adriana offer, looking for a solution from Pratama Group because according to Adriana, the scale of Pratama Group's property business that is none other than the husband is quite large,but somehow hearing the name of the Pratama Group company made Frans stomp his lips with words

"No!"

There was hate speech in Frans' eyes when he heard the company's name.

"I'm sorry Frans if my words offend you."

Adriana is very guilty of the solution she offers Frans.

"It's okay, Adriana, we'll find another solution that fits."

Suddenly the clattering of steps sounded from the terrace until right at the entrance.

A beautiful woman of slender stature in a dress and handbag so dazzling entered the living room where Adriana and Frans are located. While Rania is still loyal in Adriana's lap.

Adriana's eyes widened to see the beautiful woman who was still standing in front of the entrance, as well as the woman. Her eyes stared intently at the hatred that was on Adriana, then the woman immediately grabbed Rania in Adriana's lap.

"The papah's son has come home, the tumben once"

Said Frans insinuated the return of his daughter who does not usually come home quickly.

"Adriana this is my son, Jesika Fransiska, Rania's mother."

It felt so stifling to Adriana when she heard Frans' confession. As much as possible his emotions and feelings he can endure.

Suddenly there was an incident in Devin's workroom that always made Adriana's mind crowded.

Adriana let out a heavy sigh, holding back a circle of tears that she did not want to drop in front of Frans. Until finally Adriana thrust her right hand in front of Jesi.

"Adriana Larasati."
