THE DESIRE OF FIRST LOVE
CHAPTER 67. Jackson's Return

***Stefan's workspace at Bramasta Company***

Stefan held the phone tightly in his hand after the phone connection was unilaterally disconnected by Adi Bramasta.

"Luisne. Find two experienced bodyguards to stand by near the Regal Residence apartment. Their job is to protect Dian secretly!" stefan's orders.

"Okay, Stefan!" answer Luis.

Stefan let out a long sigh as Luis left the room.

Stefan blames himself for not being able to protect Dian at the moment.

Although Adi Bramasta has retired, but his power in the Bramasta Company is still large. Stefan is determined to seize the power so that Adi can not intimidate Dian anymore.

***Mansion Bramasta***

Anastasia, who was standing by the stairs, eavesdropped on Adi's conversation with Stefan, smiling widely, then returned to her room to call Gisel to tell him the good news.

Last night Anastasia who provoked Adi to carry out the plan because it has been more than seven days Stefan still has not managed to get an antique keris.

While Adi with a happy mood out gathered with friends to play chess together until returning to the mansion at night.

When Adi arrived at the mansion, the old man called Mr. Eko, the butler of the mansion.

"Sir Eko! Dian called the mansion?" ask Adi without a stale base.

Adi was sure Dian must have been depressed with all the sloping news and must have called to the mansion to ask to meet her. Adi had imagined Dian kneeling apologizing and returning the antique kris.

"There is no call from Miss Dian," replied Mr. Eko.

"What's he doing all day?" ask Adi curious.

"Miss Dian didn't come out of the apartment all day and also didn't clarify all the bad news about her," Mr. Eko replied.

"He must be ashamed and hiding. I'm sure he'll call me tomorrow" Adi said.

The next day Adi was in the mansion all day waiting for a call from Dian. His wait was in vain all day until the next day again, Adi felt annoyed and agitated since morning and finally could not bear it anymore so asked Pak Eko to contact Dian with the mansion phone during the day.

***

Dian and Kelvin sit back in the living room watching the drakor while waiting for five in the afternoon to pick up Jackson and Raisa at the airport.

They both enjoyed a period of self-quarantine. Every day the servants of the mansion will come several times to deliver food, snacks, and groceries Dian and Kelvin. Even Sherina joins Dian's apartment every day.

The security of Regal Residence apartments is very guaranteed so that journalists can only wait in front of the entrance of the apartment.

Dian's phone is ringing. Kelvin looked towards his beloved sister. "Who?" ask Kelvin.

Dian squinted his eyes to read the row of numbers that appeared on the phone screen. "Mansion Bramasta," Dian replied briefly as she pressed the button to reject the call.

"Surely old bangka!" kelvin.

"The antiques are still in my hands" said Dian.

While at the Bramasta Mansion, Mr. Eko looked at Adi with a wrong look.

"Not yet lifted?" adi asked impatiently.

"The call was rejected" answered Mr. Eko honestly.

"Call again!" adi's orders while grinding his teeth.

Mr. Eko called Dian repeatedly until finally Dian received a phone call.

"Who?" ask Dian.

"Mr Adi. Miss Dian has picked up the phone," said Mr. Eko with enthusiasm so that a small laughing voice from across there.

Mr. Eko closed his mouth with his hands spontaneously due to getting a sharp gaze from Adi.

Adi took the phone from Mr. Eko's hand. "Dian! It's a waste of all your efforts to clear your good name. Except the Bramasta family helped with the clarification. You know what you're gonna do now?" ask Adi haughtily.

A few seconds passed, Adi did not hear Dian's answer but the sound of Korean drama that was getting bigger so that Adi's face became red instantly.

Dian was deliberately received a phone call and pressed the speaker button while watching so that Kelvin was heard clearly Adi's question.

"Bring an antique dagger to the Bramasta Mansion and kneel apologizing to me right now!" adi's orders.

Adi slammed the phone hard. "Dikasih begging for heart!" furious Adi.

***Mansion Wijaya***

The perfect disguise plus protection from the bodyguard makes Dian and Kelvin manage to leave the apartment unnoticed by reporters.

They were both waiting for Jackson and Rossy to return at the Wijaya Mansion on the advice of Bagaskara to avoid the reporters who had gathered at the airport.

Jackson and Rossy give a warm hug to Dian and bring him many gifts.

Dian sat in the middle of Jackson and Rossy while embracing the hands of the two of them, while Kelvin and Chandra sat side by side.

Wijaya's small family gathered in the living room and joked. The gossip that was circulating heated up outside did not affect the mood of all of them.

There was a ringing of the mansion's phone twice and Mr. Lesmana picked it up immediately. "Mr Jackson. Call from Mr. Adi Bramasta," reported Mr. Lesmana.

The thin smile on Jackson's face disappeared instantly and raised the handle of the phone. "What's the matter Adi?" ask Jackson.

"Jackson. I know you and your wife have returned to Bali. I want to invite you to dinner together tomorrow" Adi replied kindly.

"There's a small problem in the company that I have to take care of. What if Pak Adi and his family come to the Wijaya Company's birthday celebration three days later?" ask Jackson.

"alright. I must be present," Adi replied with certainty.

Adi wants Jackson to work with him to force Dian to give up the antique keris because Jackson certainly does not like Dian who intends to become the daughter-in-law of the Wijaya family.

***Ballroom Hotel***

The Wijaya Company's birthday celebration event is celebrated festively in the ballroom of the five-star hotel, located in the Nusa Dua area, Bali.

Bagaskara and dozens of bodyguards stood guard at every corner to ensure the festivities went ahead.

The invitations came from various corporate entrepreneurs, local celebrities, and also the department heads of each Wijaya subsidiary.

Of course Sherina and Leon were present with Adrian and Raisa. Sherina wears a brown evening dress that matches Chandra's brown suit.

Chandra's favorite color is brown so the young man wants to look perfect when announcing his relationship with Sherina later.

Ever since Sherina arrived at the ballroom, Chandra always clasped her hands tightly and walked side by side with the girl of her heart, while Leon became a submissive son following Adrian and Raisa from behind.

The hotel's ballroom provides one special room as a dressing room for Dian. Party dresses, makeup artists, and jewel necklaces for Dian are readily available in the room.

Jackson and Rossy walk over to Dian who is being groomed by a makeup artist. Dian was still wearing a casual long dress at this time and would replace it with a party dress by the time the event started.

"Princess mommy is the prettiest" Rossy said.

"Beautiful like mommy," Dian replied with a small laugh.

"You're both just as beautiful" Jackson said.

The three of them laughed at the same time. Jackson and Rossy are very happy because soon everyone knows the identity of Dian as the youngest daughter of the Wijaya family.

Chandra and Sherina walk into the dressing room. "Daddy, mummy. The Bramasta family has arrived" Chandra said.

"Come, Rossy. Now is a good time to meet them," Jackson asked with a faint smile.

Rossy nodded his head and embraced Jackson's arms affectionately. Chandra follows her parents from behind, while Sherina stays in the dressing room to chat with Dian for a while.

***

The author apologized for the story's missed prediction. Dian's identity is revealed tomorrow huh. The story in this chapter has accelerated as much as possible and can only arrive at the beginning of the celebration event.

It is not the author's intention to delay the story. Each chapter is typed on the same day and uploaded. Each chapter spends hours to make it because the author is just an amateur writer only 🙏 that pours imagination in writing.

The author must divide the time with the busy reallife so that he can not continue typing the script tonight.

Please readers faithfully acknowledge it 🙏.

THANK YOU

GREETINGS DEAR
