The Bride of the Successor Mr. Angrier
Erick Nugraha's

After Mr. Adi signed the agreement, they immediately resigned and went home.

After the death of Mr. Adi's family, Daniel was still staring at a piece of paper signed by Mr. Adi with a flat face expression.

"The news of this marriage has already spread and if this marriage is annulled, where will I put my face? So, there was no other choice but to accept the girl as Adelia's replacement. Then ... what should I do to that strange girl? Do I have to make herself a servant in my house, Roy? But it doesn't feel right, she's beautiful. Right? Do you think that weird girl is pretty?" daniel then.

Roy nodded slowly. "Yes, I think Miss Dania is beautiful, sir."

"Oh yeah, Roy. Now take care of everything, change Adelia's name to the girl's name!" daniel's orders rose from his position.

"Good, Sir. I will do it" replied Roy firmly.

Roy followed Daniel's footsteps from behind. It was time for lunch break and as normal humans, the two men were hungry and needed food to prop up their empty stomachs.

The day changed, and it was not felt that the wedding of Daniel and Dania would be held in a few days. Today is the last day of Dania's learning and teaching activities for her students. Before tomorrow he must prepare for his wedding day with Mr. Daniel.

Using her favorite bicycle, Dania arrived at the place. The arrival of Dania was warmly welcomed by Erick Nugraha, his best friend and owner of the foundation. The man, who was the same age as Mr. Daniel, walked up to Dania and greeted her, just like always.

"Morning, Dania. Tumben's late," said Erick with a smile.

"Again, Mas Erick. I'm sorry, I'm late because there's something I have to do this morning, which I can't leave behind" Dania said as she smiled back at the man.

Actually this morning Dania again argued with Pak Adi and Bu Ida. The two old men did not want to try to find Adelia's whereabouts after Mr. Daniel was willing to accept her.

After finishing parking her bike, Dania and Erick immediately entered the place, where their students were waiting to get a lesson.

"What's wrong with you, Dania? Looks like you're having a problem. Tell me, who knows I can help you," said Erick, who noticed Dania's disheveled face a few days ago.

"That's it, Dania, don't lie. I've known you for a long time and I can tell your facial expressions apart when you tell me lies. Look, your nose is blooming and you don't dare to return my gaze. Now tell me the truth, who knows I can help" Erick said.

"This could be! The hell's my nose goofing off?" Dania held her nose while looking at the man with a bent face.

Erick chuckling. "I'm serious! Test when you tell a lie and look at your nose. Your nose will flower on its own without you noticing."

Dania laughed softly after hearing the man's words. However, the next few seconds, Dania's facial expression again looked tangled and seemed full of burden.

"Does Mas remember that a week ago I told you that my sister Adelia ran away from home?" dania said, trying to tell me about the incident.

Erick nodded his head. "Ehm, yeah, I remember. Why why?" ask Erick again.

"Lelaki who became Kak Adel's prospective husband did not accept and he asked for compensation with a certain amount of money not a little. So, instead, I have to replace Kak Adelia as her bride" Dania said with teary eyes.

"What?!" squeak Erick with round eyes. He does not believe that it turns out that Dania will soon get married. "Then what about me? Um, wrong! I mean, what about the fate of your protege? They still need you, Dania."

Erick looked at the girl. He hoped that what he had heard before was just a joke and not the truth.

"Eitherway. I myself do not know how my fate in the future with that man. A man I don't know who or how he is. But, hopefully, he will not forbid me to continue teaching here" Dania said with her head bowed.

"Mania ...." Erick grabbed Dania's hand then clasped it tightly. "Can't you just refuse it?" erick continued while staring fixedly at Dania's face.

Dania shook her head slowly. "If I refuse then my father and mother will have to compensate the man, Mas. Just imagine if the man's losses amounted to 100 million, and he asked to be replaced 10 times, 100 times 10, ah!" Dania covered her face with both hands imagining the amount of money.

Erick was silent for a moment while thinking hard. He let go of his hand, then patted Dania's shoulder slowly, to calm the girl down. "Patience, Dania. May God open the man's heart and let go of your family" Erick said.
