The Murder of the Beloved
Chapter 18

"Of course it's best you think first, Lis" Bram said later. "Don't rush into decisions. If you mind, it's not a problem. Let me jump in on that effort. I can understand that you feel sorry for using yours because it's your parents' legacy. Of course you'll be bequeathed to Dinda, won't you?"

Lilis looked at her husband. He felt touched by that speech. Apparently Bram is well aware that what he has as a legacy from his parents will be Dinda's full rights and does not want to disturb. Such an attitude indicates that Bram is not a greedy person, especially to classify him as a man who wants to memorize the wife's property. He felt happy and relieved because the conclusion removed the prejudice. Oh, if only he could share that feeling with Dinda. It's a pity that Dinda can't be invited to share in such a thing. Everything about Bram doesn't want to be heard. Dinda has already handed down the verdict against Bram. Perhaps time can also change Dinda's stance.

"Yes. I'd better think first, Mas" he said with a face that showed the brightness of his heart. He wanted to keep Bram's hope in order not to be disappointed. Thinking about it does not mean refusing.

Bram laughed happily. He hugged Lilis until the wife was astonished. Was Bram misguided? "I'm glad you said that" Bram explained. ",That means you're wise. Thinking is the wisest move, Lis. Never do or decide something without thinking first. Especially when the problem is important. Do not be like a obedient woman who always follows her husband, even if invited to fall into the abyss."

Lilis welcomed Bram's embrace with a flowery feeling. That can be considered a compliment. And for him such praise is precious, far more meaningful than the commendation is dreadful. Maybe for people his age, the praise about the physical is not so touching anymore. However happy it is to receive praise that she is beautiful, the spirit in her heart realizes such praise is not entirely true.

"What if my thinking doesn't live up to your expectations, Mom?" tanyanya wants to know.

"Ah, whatever your decision is, it doesn't matter to me. I was very enthusiastic because I wanted to share the profit prospects with you. If you don't want to, it's okay. It just means that you're not materialistic."

Lilis smiled happily. Those words were also a pleasant compliment. But he knew, even if Bram did not show it, Bram would be disappointed if he refused the invitation.

For thought and consideration, Bram gave a stack of brochures and copies of contract papers. "This prospective partner is not only engaged in property, but also contractors. Look at the projects he has worked on. Not just government property, but private property."

Lilis had plenty of time to think and reflect. Actually, what he contemplated was not the contents of the brochure and letters that Bram gave. Bonafidity from PT Subur Mandiri, thus the name of the company prospective partner Bram did not interest him at all. He will not know much about the company even though the papers are glared at. Although it was only a matter of his willingness to let go of the treasures that I had. Of course when he releases it does not mean lost. He owns shares as his successor. But after all, for him the stock was not money that could be used at any time and had a definite value. Nor does he believe in Bram. Precisely now he increasingly trusts and loves Bram because for him all these actions and attitudes Bram has proven without having to be expressed with words. His doubts were caused because he had to move from something that was routine to something else that was completely new. In the first instance he felt safe and secure. It always occurred to him that he had a home and enough money to get through even the worst of days. But what about the second one?

It turned out that the decision had to be taken was much more difficult than the first time, when he helped Bram with fifty million dollars. The value is not the same. What used to be only a small part of his property. But what is now is everything.

She remembered Della. Does he have to repeat what he did before, which is to ask Della's opinion? But he fears Della's reaction could shake his trust in Bram. He is afraid to find prejudice in Della's speech and face. Especially the problem is bigger now than it used to be. He did not want to be influenced by Della's opinion. In addition, he was also afraid to look at the scorn in Della's expression. How can he convince Della that Bram is a loving and responsible husband? So, why ask for the opinion of someone who is ultimately just annoying himself?

He actually needed someone to talk to about the matter. Ah, if only Dinda was. But Dinda's more unlikely. Dinda is more cynical and ugly than Della. Though he should indeed talk to Dinda, considering Dinda is his heir later. But there was no point in doing that either because he already knew what Dinda's reaction would be. Most likely Dinda would have gone to great lengths to prevent and hinder had she intended to agree to Bram's invitation. Dinda must not be told. Dinda did not have to know because she was immature and the treasure was still entirely her right. He is free and has the right to do anything with his possessions. It is precisely if he accepts Bram's invitation that the goal is to multiply the treasure. It means that Dinda can receive more inheritance later.

While in the thought process, Bram was patient and kind to him. Bram never urges or wonders. It seems like Bram really understands how difficult it is to make a decision. He was very grateful and appreciated Bram's attitude. It is clear how different Bram's attitude is with Johan. In the past, Johan was known as a very impatient person. Doesn't that signify his luck, that he can get different people?

But contrary to Bram, Dinda's attitude just sucks. Since Bram lived with them, Dinda never ate a table of three, either breakfast, lunch, or night. In the morning Dinda always eats first. It made sense because he had to leave for school early in the morning. At lunch Bram was not home. But at dinner, where everyone was gathered, he refused to eat together.
