The Bitter Three's
Not Apply

Susan with firm steps and a sullen face stepped inside the lobby of her office building.

Damn the Indra, he swore in his heart.

The heart is asking for the heart, and also for the brain and other parts of the body! The greedy Director is not self-knowing! If it wasn't for me still honoring your family, I'd cancel all contracts! Grouse Susan.

So this afternoon's meeting didn't seem to go as smoothly as Susan's plan. There were clauses discussed not in time and it seems to have been talked about behind Susan before. The Indra company wants assets on all of David's holdings in Amethys. And seen so the number of losses Amethys group, it can be possible management will release ownership without resistance. If it lasted another 6 months, the losses suffered from operating costs alone could reach 50 billion, who would be willing to bear such a huge loss?!

This was because Susan was determined to buy a wine farm in Italy and a wine factory in Jakarta. The cost is much higher than the profit! While Indra will acquire all to be a franchise of small – cafe cafes such as Galuh's, and company provider.

Francise from MSMEs, why did it not occur to Susan from yesterday? Though he invested in Coffee Shop Galuh personally! Why didn't he think of developing a branch and selling his patents? Uh! It is this Indra's cunning!

Cunning and intelligent, slippery like an eel and sharp like a sword of a marlin.

The directors of his company were definitely furious. It has to do with their income. Working under Indra Yodhayasa is like working in Hades' hell! Yes, it has to do with work ethic, anyway. There will be no more leyeh-leyeh, casual work, lunch in working hours, religious activities as a pretext to avoid meetings, maybe there will be no more embezzlement of funds from entertainment costs.

Inwardly, Susan was pleased. It's delicious! Thought insinuating. But he must also be prepared with blasphemy and terror. Fun activities of the directors have lasted dozens of years, the name of the habit must be difficult to remove. The disappointment in their faces made Susan chuckle.

No more fengshui experts come to the office, directors who casually bring toddlers to the office, or even their pets, or even their mistress sitting in the secretary chair, she said, there will be no more wives of directors involved in the business and arbitrarily interrupt every decision. Under the leadership of Indra Yodhayasa and David Yudha, it was just a beautiful dream.

Does it have anything to do with Susan's gender? So that he is unable to reject all the input that occurs? To be sure, since the start of the takeover of shares by David and Indra, Susan's bodyguards are no longer Galuh and Raka. But four people dressed in black suits were now following him this.

“Great also you, from Sous chef now so Paspamres (President Director's Wife Security Force. Hehe), and you're not the dishwasher at the Galuh cafe huh?” satirical Susan.

“We can be anything depending on the order,” says one of them while grinning.

“Say to Indra, I want a female bodyguard only,”

“I am a woman, loh,” Said the third bodyguard who walked behind the former dishwasher.

“You woman?!” susan exclaimed in shock as she stopped her steps.

“My name is Jeni, Bu,”

Susan looked at the figure from top to bottom. “You're transgender?”

“I'm a real woman kok bu,”

“Lesbian?”

“Not, I also have a husband and children kok bu,”

“Cock handsome?”

“Build birth bu,”

Susan squinted uncertainly, then she waved her hand. “Already,” hisses and continue his journey to the office room.

“Make sure no one can get close to me, I am badmood do not want to receive complaints in any form, except from Raka or Galuh, he said,” Susan said as the elevator was almost on the floor of her office.

“Ready bu,” says all four of his new bodyguards.

Ting! The elevator stopped on the 15th floor.

And they were welcomed by ... Rabbet.

“Bu Susaaaaaaaan!!” exclaim Raka jolly.

To the extent that Susan took a step back and crashed into the Bodyguard behind her. “What the hell?”

“I tomorrow sudden leave yes,”

Susan sneering. “Crazy you huh?! None! Office again ribet!!” exclaim Susan.

“Ribet what, just wait to be taken over,” grunts Raka.

“Yes you have to take care of the legalization,”

“Do we spend salary for Legal teams? Just fire everything,”

“Kok you so curas so,”

“I want to pick up my Father-Mak to apply for this Alwa loh,”

“Eh?” Susan widened her eyes. “What did you say?”

Raka grinned, “Alwa was yelled by Mr. David this morning,”

“Haaaaahhhh?!” susan was shocked. “So you want to propose to him now? You crazy? There are rules woy!”

“Important booking first ma'am! The wedding will be over if iddah is done!”

“Sinting, you think the villa is booked,” grumbled Susan while snatching her phone to confirm the veracity of that info.

"Marriage isn't a race, it's not a matter of sooner or later. But who is ready to have great trust." (Quotes of NN)

Papa David gawked when he found a handsome young man who felt foreign in his eyes came to see him with his parents. Even more surprising, David was there.

“Assalamu’alaikum Pah, how are you?” ask David.

“Wa’alaikumsalam. Who is this?” Papa David looked at Raka.

David and Raka have a lyric. Then they both grinned.

“Pah, sit down first,” David helps his Papa sit on one of the long sofas in the living room. While Raka and her parents were sitting on opposite sides.

David sighed to gather his strength.

“I've ingested Alwa verbally,”

“Sabar first Pah, all there is a trigger,” David said.

“But you did it all without talking about anything with Papa!”

“I was also told to do everything without having time to refuse, thought I care about the situation of Alwa and Hanifah? Were it not for Suleyman asking, I would have left everything,” David replied.

Papa David fell silent, not just him, all speechless.

Especially Raka's parents who only described a handful. They didn't understand what was happening, but they could figure out the outline. In front of them was the Foundation Chair of one of the famous Mualaf Centres in the country. People and not just any citizen.

How could his son, Bang Raka, a former street thug, be familiar with this kind of society, it made Mr and Mak amazed.

Who exactly is the angel who wants to be betrothed by his adopted son?

Papa David sat languidly on the sofa while stunned. What happened to this child's household? He thought all this time everything was fine.

“Pah, I also had a marriage by being forced to protect the trust of Suleyman. Do you think it's easy to marry someone we don't love? Is it easy to do a bed scene with your ex-wife? No Pah, all that I have withstood for almost 3 years while cleaning up Suleyman's problem. Now there is no terror anymore, and at the same time Divine Destiny makes us have a suitable way out,” David turned to Raka.

“Include, this is Raka and her parents. Raka is Susan's assistant, she from the beginning knows her problem. Alva ... Alwa confessed to me that she likes Raka,”

“Astaghfirullahaladzim,” murmured Papa David.

“For me it was Alhamdulillah, I was even at first skeptical anyone loved Alwa to the extent, as much as Suleyman loved Alwa, after a long time Alwa ate heart with my behavior,” Siss David.

“It's the best way out Pah, they like each other,”

“That's just his name for adultery, David,”

“Is it better to make Alwa depressed only?” challenge David. “I myself love others and it is not Alwa, all this time I have not been fair because Susan has taken over all my heart. There's nothing left for Alwa, Papa wants to let Alwa live in a dark pit like that?”

“If Papa does not agree with Raka, I will still make Alwa a widow. Let him find his own life priest,” David Leaned while folding both his hands on his chest.

Papa David could only shake his head at his son's behavior.

“Then what do you expect from Papa now?” ask Papa David.

“Talk everything, with Raka,” says David.

Then he shut up, just watching. Until here the portion is finished.

Before facing Papa David, Raka and David had discussed how to declare the condition of Alwa and Raka's feelings.

Because,

If he is still a wife of someone then it is illegal to be lynched either clearly or satirically. Whereas if it is in the period of iddah then it is illegal to be clearly betrothed. As for the satirical dipinang, if he is in the period of iddah because of talak raj’i (Talak when the husband is still alive) then it is illegal to ask for her innuendo because she is still a wife. Whereas if he is in the period of iddah because he was left dead or what is meant by him such as talak bain and fasakh then it is not illegal to ask him with satire.

So the only way of wining is the declaration. Info if their feelings are the same, and take the heart of Papa David to support the two to be close to each other, be it ta’aruf or just lunch together.

“So you caused all this to happen? Who are you?” papa David asked half a grumble.

“My name is Raka, Sir. I've been an assistant to Susan for 9 years. I've known Alwa since Mr. David married Miss Susan. I'm sorry sir, I know everything that's happened, and I'm very sincere in helping to solve the problem. However, apologize as well,” Raka glanced at David, saying,

“Regarding the past, Alwa's plight, and Mr Suleyman's case, I also knew from the beginning, and since then we have confided in each other. Maybe from there my feelings for Alwa grew,” said Raka.

“What do you expect?”

“I want blessing to be closer to alwa, father's blessing as his guardian will be very helpful. Especially because Alwa has been very guarded by Mr. David, I also want to take part to guard it,”

“And your destination? To be husband in his future Alwa, replace David?” guess Papa David.

“When the two people love each other, what is expected? Surely all dream of being able to face the marriage level,” said Raka.

“Cannot apply, still iddah time, and not yet legally managed,”

“I understand Sir. But I need my father's blessing to be a close friend of Alwa, until the time comes. Unpretentious women like Alwa should not be carelessly close to non mahram,”

“Friends close, heh?! How about I plan to match Alwa with another man after the end of iddah period,”

Raka also sighed.

“It's up to the father as the guardian. I came here, right now, my mission is just to let you know that I love Alwa. My Father and My Mother testified,”

Papa David took a deep breath.

----***----

"Basic semprul!" Mr. jerked Raka's tubers with anxiety. "Udah make aje hanger, I think really a proposal!"

"The important booking code is already in hand," said Raka.

"Lu think plane ticket?!"

"It's a private jet, you know,"

"Damn! Crazy boy!!" back Father shook Raka's head, ending with Raka's happy naughtiness.

"I will speed up the legalization process" David said as he checked his watch, "Take the road, if you want to plan a party or anything else, if Alwa is not told,"

"Yes sir, I will renovate the house in Depok. It's currently being contracted, so I want to be as comfortable as possible for Alwa to live in" Raka said.

David put one of his hands into his pants pocket and looked at Raka thoughtfully, "Raka," he called out.

Raka stopped her grin and wishful thinking, and immediately focused on David.

"Raka, there's no guarantee you can get Alwa in this. All I can help is speed up the divorce process. After Papa I became Alwa's guardian, all decisions were in his hands. So you're good at taking advantage of opportunities. But I'm glad you're moving fast, it signifies your earnestness" David said.

"I love Alwa, and don't want her taken away by anyone" Raka said.

"That's beyond human power," David smiled wryly.
