Throughout the night neither Mark nor Adisti could sleep. Their minds were busy staring at the events that had just happened some time ago. A beautiful proposal, but dear does not end as beautiful as hope.
"Old people huh? Also true. What if padre and madre won't accept Adisti as my future wife?" mumbling Mark. "I don't want to make Adisti worse. Ah, rather than guessing things like this, I'd better call Padre and Madre right away" muttered Mark who immediately picked up his phone.
However, just now Mark was about to contact his parents, suddenly he realized that the clock was showing early morning. Mark also denied his intention to contact his parents because he did not want to interfere with their break time.
Just like Mark, Adisti was restless. If Mark were still the usual driver he used to be, maybe he would consider his application. But, after learning that Mark is not a random person, Adisti suddenly insecure. Too much was his consideration and he did not want to repeat the same incident because he was not sure after this there was someone who was able to save him if again had to experience humiliation from the rich.
The next day, Adisti continued to work as usual. So did Mark. But today Mark did not pick up Adisti because he had to come early in the morning to the Rainero residence.
"Mark, can we talk to you for a second?" ask Mark Axton.
Mark nodded, "please, sir. What do you want to talk about?" ask Mark wonder.
Then Axton took her to Rainero's room so they could talk more casually.
"Look, Mark is now in trouble with the Alv Company company, which is attracting all of its investment in Jevian's parent-owned company. Doesn't Alv Company belong to your family? Do you know why the Alv Company suddenly withdrew its investment?" axton asked as he looked at the curious. Moreover, Jevian is his best friend, making him wonder what happened?
Mark let out a long sigh, "it's at my own request."
"What's? Wh why? Do you have a problem with Jevian?" cecar Axton is curious.
"Yes, pretty big deal. This was due to the arrogance of his own family. Responsibility for its own consequences. I warned them, but they still did. So don't blame me if they're going through any of this. Everything has consequences, no." Mark explained casually. Making Rainero who was sitting in his great chair was also curious.
"What have their families done until you've acted this far?" ask Rainero at last.
"His mother, his aunt, even almost all of his family members have denigrated Adisti. Blatantly insulting him in front of everyone. Do I have to keep quiet when they do this disgraceful thing to Adisti?" I heard a growl from Mark's mouth. Even the look in his eyes was red, looking fiery showing how much anger Mark would have for what Adisti was experiencing.
Rainero and Axton were stunned. If he's in Mark's position, they won't stay silent either. Moreover, Adisti is like a member of their own family. It's only a few days now that Jevian hasn't shown him his nose. It is like disappearing into the earth. Maybe he was embarrassed to meet Rainero and Axton. Moreover, Jevian knew what kind of relationship between Adisti with Shenina and Gladys.
"But what makes me wonder, why are you acting so far? Do you have a special relationship with Adisti?" Axton asked again.
A small smile rose on Mark's red-and-black lips, "yes, I want Adisti to be my wife."
Axton glared, while Rainero looked so calm because he had long been suspicious of Mark. Several times Rainero caught Mark staring meaningfully at Adisti. He clearly knew the meaning of that look.

"Hello Madre, how are you?" greet Mark when his call is raised by his mother.
"After more than two years of disappearing and never coming home, have you finally contacted Madre again? Have you recovered from your amnesia?" mark's mother's nagging.
Mark chuckles, "sorry, Madre. I Miss you so much."
"If you really miss this old lady, why don't you come home, huh? Will the new contents return after hearing the news of my death?"
"Madre, please, don't talk like that!" melas Mark felt guilty for leaving and then disappeared.
"A few days ago you could have called Padre, but why didn't you call Madre, huh?"
"I'm having business with Padre. Urgent."
"Curly, sucks! Why did you call Madre? No need to make small talk," said Mark's mother.
Mark's mother was stunned by the son's out of the box question.
"Why did you suddenly ask that? Or maybe ... " Mark's mother's smile was instantaneous.
"Just pray, Madre. It all depends on you. Therefore, tell me your daughter-in-law's criteria?"
Mark's mother chuckled, "you know, neither Madre nor Padre have any specific criteria. But the important point is that the girl is kind, honest, and responsible and loyal. Beautiful problem, as long as there are all women who can be beautiful."
"If it's social status? What if the girl is ordinary? An orphan? Poor fellow?"
"We're rich, Mark, why look for a girl from a rich family? You alone, without the hassle of working, your money has flowed without pause, is not it. You're the only one who's happy playing around out there. In Indonesia you even become a statue of a silver man, then an online motorcycle taxi driver. The last taxi driver to meet the young master of the Sanches family who then made him a private driver. You this ... Really ... "March's mother's teeth fluttered with annoyance, but she couldn't ban it. The important thing is that his son did nothing that broke the law he thought. He just let it go. Moreover, he knew it was Mark's way to treat his heartbreak so he chose to do strange things to eliminate his confusion. Mark just chuckled. No wonder her mother knew everything she was doing. Not impossible, his mother already knew about Adisti.
"Ekhem, we go on. You said earlier, what if he's an orphan? If he is an orphan, it means the task of Madre and Padre is to give him affection to replace his parents. We can't look down on other people, Mark. The wheel is not always on top. Don't you copy that Austin family. Madre is proud of your actions. They must indeed get lessons so as not to arbitrarily in the future," said Mark's mother who also had received a story from her husband if Mark asked her to revoke all investments in the Austin company. Although not yet get more complete information because his men are only in charge of monitoring from afar, but in general he already knows it.
Marquez Alvernon or more often called Mark was smiling widely. He concluded that his parents would accept Adisti with open arms regardless of social status or origin.
"Thank you, Madre. You're the best."
"Yes, yes, yes, but Madre doesn't need your praise."
"Lantas, what does Madre want?"
"Remember your agreement with Padre?"
Yes, Mark did have a pact with his father. One of the conditions for his father to help him attract investment in an Austin-owned company, Jevian's father was to return to his country immediately and want to lead one of his companies. Mark agrees, but not in the near future because he still has goals that have not been achieved. Can readers guess what that is?
"Madre take it easy, when Mark's goal has been achieved, Mark will be back soon."
After talking for a while, Mark immediately closed his call.
...***...
Adisti just finished his job. Now he is preparing to go home. Because the distance of the restaurant and apartment building is not so far away, even though the day is not too dark, Adisti also chose to go home on foot.
But while walking on a small road, suddenly there was someone who smothered his mouth from behind. Suddenly Adisti lost consciousness. Then someone who smothered him put Adisti roughly in the car. After that, the car was driven as fast as possible to a place.
"How's it?"
"I got it."
"good. Do it as planned. Remember, don't die in the footsteps!"
"Good."
