THE DESIRE OF FIRST LOVE
CHAPTER 7. Ring

***Mansion Bramasta***

Stefan arrived at Bramasta Mansion at seven o'clock at night and was greeted by Mr. Eko, the butler of Bramasta Mansion.

"Good night young master Stefan," said Mr. Eko.

"Night Mr. Eko. Mama's with Sia not in the mansion?" I asked Stefan because I didn't see a red BMW parked in the garage.

At the Bramasta Mansion, there are four cars used by members of the Bramasta family. Stefan uses a black Mercedes-Benz, a red BMW used by Laura and Anastasia, a white Rolls-Royce owned by Stefan's grandfather, and a blue Chevrolet Camaro used by Dian. There is a driver who is specifically in charge of driving each car.

"The big lady went to the shopping mall, while Miss Anastasia was on holiday with her friend in Australia" replied Mr. Eko.

"Sir Eko. Please bring my suitcase to the room" said Stefan.

"Well young master Stefan," replied Mr. Eko.

Mr. Eko opened the trunk of the car and picked up a cabin-size suitcase, then followed Stefan from behind.

Stefan made an official trip to Las Vegas for four days and arrived in Bali this afternoon so he was unaware of Anastasia's departure to Australia.

Stefan went straight to the dining room. The Bramasta Mansion waiter immediately served Stefan dinner.

Stefan glanced at Mr. Eko, who was still standing nearby holding a suitcase.

"Sir Eko. Why hasn't the suitcase been brought to the room?" ask Stefan.

"Sorry young master Stefan. Will the suitcase be delivered to the guest room or the young master's room?" ask Mr. Eko carefully.

Stefan was stunned for a moment to hear Mr. Eko's question. The news of his divorce with Dian, of course, was known by all the servants of the Bramasta Mansion.

"To my old room" replied Stefan.

"Well young master Stefan," said Mr. Eko and hurried to leave the dining room.

Stefan continued his dinner. The young man took a piece of grilled beef ribs and ate it, but his forehead suddenly shriveled so that the female servant in charge of serving food felt anxious.

"Who cooked this grilled rib?" ask Stefan to the waitress.

"Ko.koki Mansion Bramasta," replied the female servant stammering.

"The same chef?" ask Stefan.

"Yes young master Stefan," the maid replied with a puzzled look.

"Call the chef out!" stefan's orders.

"Okay young master Stefan," replied the maid.

Moments later a male chef walked hastily following the female waitress arriving in the dining room.

"Good night young master Stefan. What's looking for me?" ask the male chef.

"Why do these beef ribs taste bland? Other cuisines also taste much different than the cuisine I once ate at the Bramasta Mansion! Your cooking skills are getting ugly!" stefan said while staring intently at the male chef.

"Sorry young master Stefan. As long as this is the mistress Dian who cooks," said the stammering male chef.

The deg! Stefan could feel a small needle piercing his heart because of the words of the male chef. Stefan did not expect Dian to prepare dinner side dishes every day at the Bramasta Mansion.

Stefan thought Dian had only cooked lunch for him and delivered him to the Bramasta Company to take his heart.

In fact, he had tasted Dian's cooking every time he was at the Bramasta Mansion and Stefan admitted in his little heart Dian's cooking was very good.

"Go away" said Stefan as he flicked his hand towards the male chef.

"Okay young master Stefan," replied the male chef.

Stefan had lost his appetite and left the dining room for the bedroom.

***Stefan bedroom***

Stefan came out of the bathroom wiping his short wet hair, then walked up to the wardrobe and opened it. The clothes in the closet were partially empty. Dian did not leave a single outfit there.

Stefan knew Dian had only brought a large backpack back when they came home from Las Vegas and now the bag and all the clothes in it had been taken away by Dian so as not to leave a trace anything about that young girl

Dian's natural and cheerful face flashed through Stefan's mind. Stefan could imagine Dian spending most of her time inside this bedroom.

"Where is Dian now? Is Dian okay?" inner Stefan.

Stefan walked out of the bedroom to the guest room he had been wearing for eleven months.

The safety box was closed tightly, while near the foot of the bed lay a broken jewelry box.

Stefan bent down to get it. Stefan knows Laura threw the jewelry box away.

Stefan's mind drifted to the auction last week. The diamond necklace looked so beautiful and elegant that Stefan bought it.

In every room of Mansion Bramasta there is attached cctv so that only looking for cctv footage some days it will be known with certainty who took the diamond necklace from the safety box.

Stefan doesn't believe Laura's accusations and believes one hundred percent of Dian didn't steal the diamond necklace. However, now there is no point in finding where the diamond necklace is lost because he is divorced and Dian has left the Bramasta Mansion.

Stefan walked back to his bedroom to rest. When Stefan put his phone on the nightstand, which was beside the bed, Stefan realized something was there.

Stefan took it right away. A heart-shaped diamond ring. The ring he used to propose to Gisel in Las Vegas.

It's fitting that Stefan felt something was different with Dian when the young girl came to his office. The diamond ring is no longer coiled around Dian's ring finger and proves the young girl is determined to sue for divorce.

Stefan clasped the diamond ring tightly for a few seconds, then pulled the drawer of the nightstand and threw the diamond ring into it. Stefan immediately turned off the nightstand lights to sleep. Stefan can't sleep well tonight.

***Mansion Wijaya***

Dian rested her back on the bed while holding her cell phone.

The young girl opened a whatsapp chat group and typed in a line of messages there.

"I am back!"

A few seconds after Dian sent the message, a reply message appeared in a row in his phone.

"Welcome-back!"

"I miss you!"

"My princess!"

"When do we hang out?"

Dian gave a small smile reading replies from her four close friends.

"I'll hibernate for two weeks at Wijaya Mansion before working at Jayanata Company" Dian replied in a group chat.

"Dians. Tomorrow I go to the Wijaya Mansion!"

"Dian! Wait for me to come home from Los Angeles, we hang out together!"

"When I'm ready for my princess!"

"Dians. I'm back in Bali in a month!"

"okay! Keep in touch!" reply Dian.

***

Eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Sherina comes to the Wijaya Mansion to meet Dian. Dian was overjoyed to welcome Sherina. The two young girls chatted inside Dian's bedroom.

Sherina is the same age as Dian's twin sisters. Even so, Sherina's body is so tiny that it looks younger than it really is.

"Sister Rina is getting pretty," praised Dian.

"Dian is also beautiful" Sherina replied.

A few minutes later Sherina's phone rang. Sherina's face was met red when she read the name that appeared on her phone screen, while Dian smiled seductively at Sherina.

"Surely a call from Chandra's sister" said Dian.

Sherina nodded her head and picked up the phone. A small smile garnished at the corner of Sherina's lips while talking to Chandra, but moments later Sherina's face became tense and stole a glance towards Dian.

Dian was calm and thought something Chandra had told Sherina and definitely connected to her.

"Yes Chandra. I'll be on Dian's side" Sherina said seriously.

Sherina's words made Dian more convinced by her guess earlier. Dian waited quietly and patiently beside Sherina.

Moments later, Sherina ends the phone conversation with Chandra and looks at Dian.

"What's the matter, Rina?" ask Dian.

"Dians. There is an announcement from the Bramasta Company regarding you," Sherina replied with a reddened face holding back anger.
