The Story of the Young CEO
CHAPTER 59 ASSERTIVENESS

Please note that the matchmaking event that was supposed to be held at the residence of Pak Baskoro without the knowledge of Raihan and Bayu. It means that Raihan wasn't told that tonight he'd be betrothed.

More do not know anymore that it turns out the girl he will be betrothed to is Michella. Because the girl was not frank with Raihan or Bayu when they asked, who was the young man Michella was betrothed to.

While Raihan and Bayu also did not want to force Michella to say who the young man who was betrothed to him.

In that case, why wasn't Raihan told that he would be betrothed?

Keep in mind that actually Raihan has been betrothed twice by his parents, or more the mother, Miss Retno who betrothed. But twice he refused, firmly.

And the reason Raihan refused matchmaking was very basic. Making his mother can not argue Raihan's rejection.

That's why Bu Retno did not tell Raihan in advance that she would rematch her son this third time. Of course with another girl.

Ms. Retno was worried that if she told Raihan directly that she wanted to be betrothed, she was afraid that Raihan would refuse again.

Ms. Retno only conveyed an invitation to Raihan through WA so that Raihan would come to the mother house tonight. About family events, said Ms. Retno. And Raihan is supposed to come tonight.

As for Fauzan and his wife, Jovanka, Shafira and her husband, Dr. Kenzie and Marsha, Miss Retno didn't tell them all either. Who knows the matchmaking problem besides her husband, Mr. Baskoro.

While Mr. Baskoro is actually not very supportive of the matchmaking. Because he still does not consider Raihan as his biological child.

But because the parents of the woman Raihan was betrothed to was one of the big businessmen, then Pak Baskoro finally supported as well.

Mr. Baskoro supported the match because he had a personal purpose. With the matchmaking, it will be established business cooperation with the prospective besannya it. Of course, Pak Baskoro's efforts will be even greater.

How sad that old man was. He did not think about his son's well-being. All he thought about was his personal gain.

But Ms Retno also invited her two children who had married to come to the mother house. With the same thing with the invitation to Raihan, which is a family event.

Please note that Shafira and Dr. Kenzie got married 2 months ago. The show went on smoothly and festively, as expected.

Moreover, Raihan and Bayu attended the wedding of their brother, although Pak Baskoro did not want their presence.

If you do not remember his wife's heart disease, Pak Baskoro really forbade Raihan and Bayu to come.

In addition, the businessmen have already learned that Raihan and Bayu include his family. Especially Raihan, not a few people already know that the young man is his son.

★☆★☆

Long story short, Raihan has come to the mother house to meet the invitation which he said was a family event. And he came alone, unaccompanied by Bayu.

Bayu did not come with Raihan, or rather he refused to come because, in addition to the invitation was a family event, he said, Bayu can not leave Michella alone who obviously has not been able to adapt to the residents of the house.

And indeed Michella does not want to be abandoned by Bayu. He wants Bayu to accompany him tonight.

While Raihan understood the reason Bayu refused to come with him. In addition, Raihan also gave his sister the opportunity to get to know each other further with Michella.

Because Raihan really hopes that both can be and love each other.

Now Raihan is already in the mother house, and he is already in the middle of his family. They are currently gathered in the family room.

There is already Bu Retno who sits next to Pak Baskoro, their two married children, and Raihan.

There was no Marsha there. The girl would rather be with her niece Berly than attend the meeting. She doesn't disrespect her brother, Raihan. But he was lazy to be in the same room with his papa and Fauzan, his first brother.

"Well why don't you come, Rai?" tanya Bu Retno started to open the conversation.

I don't know, it seems like the question is just a pleasantries. Because since then he saw that Raihan only came alone, not with Bayu. The old woman did not ask. Now he asks.

"I'm sorry, Mom, she can't come" Bayu said in a polite tone, "because there's work she can't leave."

Obviously Raihan will not tell the truth why Bayu did not come. He only answered with a common word.

Please note that Raihan can already consider Bu Retno as his mother who gave birth to him, no longer consider like others.

He tried to forgive and forget the actions of his mother when he was a child, who incised a long and deep wound in his heart.

So now she calls Miss Retno 'mom', another book with the call 'mistress'.

"Your sister can be arrogant too, right?!" fauzan chirps are sarcastic and cynical. "Great meeting like this he has dared to take it trivial."

"But it doesn't seem important that he is present either" Fauzan continued in a derogatory tone, "because he is not...."

"Fauzan! No one told you to talk!" cut Bu Retno sharp and firm. His tone clearly gave off anger.

Whereas Raihan did not respond to the man's humiliation, nor did he look towards him. He just sat down without looking at anyone.

Mr. Baskoro was silent as well. Like not wanting to respond to the words of his eldest son or add. But when Raihan spoke, he responded cynically.

Jovanka, Shafira and Dr. Kenzie did not give a serious reaction to the initial conversation. They seemed to be silent, and busy with their own thoughts.

"I know that you and Bayu lately have been very busy taking care of your successful company" Ms Retno said in response to Raihan's response. "Mother is happy for the success you have achieved...."

But. the busyness of your sister," continued Ms. Retno, "yes. she should also take the time to participate in meetings like this. Moreover, this is a family gathering...."

"Ma.., don't care too much about the damn child," said Fauzan annoyed. "You come or you don't, you don't have to take care of me...."

"Again he is not our family," continued Fauzan further insulted his tone. "She's just a despicable child who doesn't deserve to be cared for...."

Fauzan's contemptuous remarks clearly made Dr. Kenzie was immediately surprised, not expecting that a Fauzan could make such a remark.

While Jovanka and Shafira can only stroke the chest to hear the words of the young but arrogant man.

As for Raihan....

★☆★☆

"Mr Fauzan! If you can't keep your mouth from insulting my sister," Raihan said despite being calm but sharp, "don't blame me for being rude to you!"

"What can you do, Goddamn kid?!" challenge Fauzan clearly did not want to lose with a furious tone. "Are you still successful, continuing to show arrogance in front of me, is that it?"

"When I was a kid you could only break my hand" Raihan said. "But now, I can do more than you. I can break your neck!"

"You have the courage...."

"It's over!" snapped at Ms. Retno in a loud voice. "You didn't invite me here to fight!"

"The son of a bitch has dared to be insolent with me, Ma," said Fauzan in self-defense. "Mama should...."

"Shut up!" snarled Bu Retno again. "If you can't stop talking before being asked, just get out of this room!"

"Ok, I'd better get out" said Fauzan coldly mixed with cynicism. "Mama's more defending that son of a bitch than me."

"At the same time I'm sick of meeting this fucking kid!" fauzan continued to be cynical.

Then he stood up, and his right index finger pointed rudely with contempt at Raihan, continuing to say threateningly.

"Review you!"

After that he stepped out of the room with wide steps. By bringing a great anger.

While Jovanka was immediately confused, whether to stay here or follow her husband. But, as soon as Mr. Baskoro told her to follow her husband, the woman went out half-run after him.

While Bu Retno still calms her feelings that had rumbled due to a quarrel between her two sons. While Mr. Baskoro helped calm his wife.

Raihan remained calm in his seat. His attitude and facial expression showed no reaction.

"Ma, what exactly is the purpose of mama ama papa mengumpulin us here?" tanya Shafira wants to the point only after seeing that Bu Retno has calmed down. "There must be some other meaning, right'?"

"Ma, you better tell your son that," said Mr. Baskoro like commanding while glancing at Raihan, "what purpose we invite him here."

After convincing himself that his feelings were really tenant, Ms. Retno began to say again.

"As you already know that your two brothers are all married. So.., I hope you get married soon too. Moreover, your age is already worthy of marriage."

"Slave, Ma'am," Raihan said politely. "I'll get married when it's time. And obviously I'm going to marry the woman I love."

I don't know, it looks like Raihan already knows where Bu Retno's talking is going. That's why he immediately spoke like that to refute the veiled intention of Miss Retno's speech.

"Love will grow by itself," said Bu Retno as well as know the meaning of Raihan's speech, "provided the partner is good. Isn't that right, Rai?"

"Mom meant to betroth me again?" guess Raihan directly.

"Yes.. more or less like that..," said Ms. Retno with an implied sentence.

"I'm sorry, ma'am," Raihan said in a statement. "I have my own partner. I hope you don't force me to marry someone I don't love...."
