THE DESIRE OF FIRST LOVE
CHAPTER 47. Antique keris

***Anian office space in Jayanata Company***

David was in the room to report on the development of another small project that Chandra handed over to Dian.

Since the incident in the meeting room two days ago, all employees of every department of Jayanata Company worked hard to carry out Dian's orders related to AI projects.

They no longer dared to offend Dian. Only Anggi was still giving a look of hate in front of Dian, at every time an accidental meeting inside the Jayanata Company.

Dian did not care about Anggi's insolent attitude because Chandra was going home in the near future. Dian focused more on her work piling up.

Dian's phone rang so that the young girl picked her up after seeing the name that appeared on the phone screen.

"Hello Billy," said Dian.

"Hello princesses. I've arrived in front of the company" Billy said.

"alright. Waita minute. I'm coming down, right away" said Dian.

Dian took her car keys from the desk drawer and handed them to David.

"Davids. As always please take my car to the apartment" Dian said.

"Well Miss Dian," answered David obediently.

The security of Regal Residence apartments is not in doubt. David will leave Dian's car keys in the apartment lobby officer after finishing parking the young girl's car.

David follows Dian leaving the office space to the elevator. Dian exits the elevator when the elevator stops on the first floor of the company, while David gets off on the basement floor to pick up Dian's car that's parked there.

Tonight Dian and Billy will be attending a private charity auction. The money generated from the auction will be donated to some orphanages in need.

Charity auctions like this are often held every month. Many artists and entrepreneurs will be present to enliven the auction event.

Wijaya and Tatum's families took part in donating valuables at the auction so they got an invitation to attend the auction.

By the time Dian and Billy got there, the front seats were almost full so they were both sitting at the back.

Dian circulated her gaze around and recognized the many faces of the businessmen she knew. They greeted each other with smiles and nods of their heads.

The auctioneer gave the auction's two numberboards to Dian and Billy. Each guest gets a board with a different number. They will raise the number board if they are interested in the auction objects shown on the stage.

Dian and Billy only represent their respective families to attend the charity auction tonight so as to put the number board on each other's lap, with no intention of buying anything later.

Dian's face turned cold when he saw in the front row of the seats there were two female figures that he did not like. Billy also realized the direction of Dian's view.

"It was unexpected that Anastasia was wall-faced. Hot rumors about him have just subsided a few days, he has dared to appear in public places," said Billy.

"He wants to use this charity auction to improve his already ugly image," Dian replied casually.

Billy immediately understood what Dian said. The proceeds of the charity auction will be donated to orphanages in need. If Anastasia buys one of the objects at a high price then her name will be famous as a generous donor.

"Whatever thing he wants to buy, I'll snatch it," Billy replied with a meaningful smile.

"What if he buys jewelry? Which girl will you give it to?" ask Dian, kidding.

"For you, of course" Billy replied spontaneously.

"My jewelry is already a lot in the mansion. You give it to aunty only," said Dian.

"We'll see" replied Billy.

***

Moments later the charity auction began. The organizer introduces one by one the objects and the base price benchmark for auctioning. Each item has a different base price.

The auction went on for almost an hour, but Laura and Anastasia did not take part in bidding for any objects.

Billy also did not bid because the jewelry auctioned is very far quality compared to Dian's personal jewelry.

By the time the host introduced an antique kris Dian increasingly understood Laura and Anastasia's hidden intentions.

"This antique "cris came from the Bramasta Family. Thank you Mrs Laura and Ms Anastasia for participating in this charity auction" the hosts said.

"That's arrogant! Keris is ordinary. Grandpa also has a large collection of keris in the mansion" Biily said.

Billy believes the host introduced the name of the couple's cocky mother son to be at their request to the event organizers.

The proof of the items donated by the Tatum and Wijaya families for the auction is not mentioned from whom by the host.

"That's no ordinary kris," Dian replied in a small voice.

The antique keris is slightly larger than a regular keris and has holster ornaments and a more complicated shape of the keris handle design.

Dian recognized the antique keris for having seen it at the Bramasta Mansion. Antique keris is a hereditary heirloom of the Bramasta family and always stored in the workspace Adi Bramasta.

Antique keris is Adi's favorite object. Only the closest family had ever seen the keris. Dian had seen Adi clean the antique dagger attentively in the living room.

Dian spread her gaze around again to find the figure of Stefan or Adi, whether there is in this room. A thin smile expands at the corner of Dian's lips as she believes Laura and Anastasia are bringing the antique kris to auction without Adi and Stefan's knowledge.

"Two fools!" inner Dian.

***

"We're starting the auction now. The starting price was five million," the host said.

"Five million!"

"Ten million!"

"Twenty million!"

"Twenty-five million!"

Laura and Anastasia were calm about not raising the number board in their hands because they believed the antique dagger would eventually fall in their hands for a high price.

"Twenty-five million once! Does anyone want to bid again?" ask the host while giving a short time to wait.

A wide smile expanded at the corner of Laura and Anastasia's lips as there were no more sounds of people bidding over twenty-five million.

It was Billy who bid twenty-five million and stopped his action after Dian gestured to him.

Laura lifted her number board. " Fifty million!" laura said arrogantly.

"Wow fifty million for one kris? The Bramasta family is very generous in donating to the orphanage."

Several businessmen from the Bramasta family praised Laura and Anastasia.

"Thirty million once! Fifty million twice!"

"Hundred million!" Dian's melodious voice echoed inside the auction room so that the young girl became the center of attention within seconds.

Laura and Anastasia stared intently at Dian. The young girl replied with a small smile at the corner of her lips that made the two of them panic.

"Damn it! Why is Dian here?" inner Laura.

"Dian deliberately raised the price!" inner Anastasia.

They both knew Dian recognized the antique kris and must have deliberately made it difficult for them to get antique kris by bidding for a high price.
