Tone of Nara
Chapter 64 PLD, The Appearance of Two of Three

POV Mahardika

“Thanks July. It is an honor for me to represent my late mother, Lidya Dirgantara and the Dirgantara family giving this memorable necklace to be auctioned off at the big launch of LC. Incidentally this company I started myself as proof of my grandmother.  Aerospace and extended family, that I am part of this family that I have always been proud of,” Franco seemed to open the box and took out a necklace with a pendant inscribed with a beautifully elongated PLD, diamond-studded. Very Beautiful.

“In order to look beautiful, it looks like this necklace must be in the right place. Sorry Mr. Pradipta, borrow July for a while yes,” said Franco teasing Pradipta and approaching July. One of Franco's assistants “Nah beautiful right. As pretty as wearing it. Oops! Sorry bro. Just kidding,” said Franco laughing.

“I want to ask the help of my best friend's lover, to show the beauty of the jewelry of the escort queen Dirgantara. Of course you know, the initials on this necklace are PLD, namely Putra-Lidya Dirgantara. The symbol of our father and mother's love. Anyone can have this necklace tonight and the funds will be donated in the name of Mother Lidya to disadvantaged siblings in their orphanage and education. We hope that with this LC concern, they can study as high as possible and become part of LC in the future,” said Franco who was greeted with thunderous applause.

Whahuh? I know this bastard. How dare he acknowledge Mother as his mother. I even know how he and his mother were driven out of the house contemptuously. And now he dares to claim to be part of the Aerospace? Well I know, it was Grandma Dirgantara who pulled him back to the Aerospace house. But that does not mean he has the right to recognize Lidya Dirgantara as his mother. Even the meaning of the word PLD he did not know. That necklace is a necklace of memories of the three of us.  Dad made that necklace for Mommy. Besides that necklace, I made two small platinum dogtag necklaces with PLD inscriptions for me and dad. We wore it until the moment the incident at the warehouse happened. PLD stands for Putra-Lidya-Dika. I was angry at what was done

Franko. Two out of three have appeared. How could she have a Mother's necklace? Where's dad's necklace? Do they have it too? I felt my chest and squeezed the little box that was there. Dogtag with PLD.

At the same time, Juli looks very happy wearing the beautiful necklace. Repeatedly his finger stroked the necklace that was worth hundreds of millions. I'm still feeling unhappy, that beautiful necklace on her neck. I was determined to get it, no matter what.

“It looks like July likes it too, bro. What if you bought it for your girlfriend? Follow you,” said Franco teasing Pradipta who is also still on stage. Juli appears smiling sweetly at Pradipta while stroking her necklace.

“Wow, it was amazing. It's exquisite. Moreover, the necklace is a beautiful embodiment of love

Aerospace. Hopefully my money is enough to compete on the auction floor later yes bro,” Pradipta said with a laugh.  Do not expect you can get the property of the Dirgantara family. I'll take it.

Franco whispered something to Pradipta and the man nodded. After that, Pradipta approached July, took the mic in his hand and handed it to the MC. He whispers something to the MC and takes Juli off the stage. Mr Franco followed the couple and sat in the VIP seats backstage.

“Alright ladies and gentlemen, this spectacular loving couple will be going around to visit you the necklace that is about to be auctioned tonight. Prepare your check and feel free to get this beautiful necklace,” said the MC announced.

“Aware bro? That you never really love ? That Papa Shasa is right?” adrian's whispering made me think, But I chose to be quiet. Yeah, my best friend and Papa Shasa once commented on my relationship with Juli. But like Papa said, “Let him realize it for himself, Ian, Henry. He's too stubborn.”

Henry's back on my shoulder. When I poke, she points at Nara with her gaze. I saw Pradipta and July approaching Nara. Adrian gets close to Nara, barely clinging. Pradipta walked a bit behind July. While in front of Nara, Juli stopped to look at Nara for a moment. The girl looked at Nara while frowning. Nara was silent without expression.

“It looks like Nara is trying to imitate your flat face Adrian,” I said slowly. I heard Henry screeching behind me answered with Adrian's gurgle.

“Goodnight July. It's a beautiful necklace around your neck. It's amazing indeed. It must have been nice to be able to wear it even though temporarily,” I heard Nara's sweet voice.

“Ah yes, good night. Sorry I don't know your name. You're the new model, right? Yes this necklace is very beautiful and only a certain person can wear it,” Juli said in a slightly cynical tone. Nara looked a little surprised by July's reaction. I know, Nara was wondering why Juli didn't seem to like her. Nara was too innocent to face a situation like this. Of course Juli doesn't like Nara. Even July already considers Nara as a rival that will threaten its existence in the world of models and artistry. Juli is not stupid. Although both are beautiful, Juli has had to fight for years to get to her position. While Nara in just a matter of weeks can reach a position that is not much different. It would be no wonder if in a moment, Nara would take her place. For Nara, her presence in the model world is just a way to get her husband back. For July, what he achieved now was his dream.

Nara replied, Juli has moved to a woman who looks very rich with jewelry along her arms. The woman stood right beside Nara, making Juli and Pradipta not shift much.  I saw that bastard taking advantage of this opportunity to be able to attach his body to Nara. Her face was memorizing to the woman who was talking to Juli and smiling at the woman. It was as if she didn't think Nara was there. The man's shoulder against Nara's shoulder caused the girl confusion. He couldn't possibly shift to the right, because there was someone beside him. Behind me was Adrian. Seeing this, Adrian silently held Nara's waist and rewinded the girl's position to free from Pradipta's shoulder. In wonder Pradipta looked at the now empty side. Adrian and I can read the hidden look of Pradipta's loss and interest in Nara.

I smiled at the situation. Adrian and Henry looked at each other and understood the situation. As always, we can communicate without talking. We both know that we are in the same zone. There's a brilliant idea in my head that they understand.  We've got the idea of how to approach Pradipta and Franco for Nada’s Project and our secret grand mission, which is more important. I went back to myself and forgot my emotions. I know, if I get caught up in the past emotions, then it'll all be for nothing.  It takes vigilance and genius to carry out this mission. There is no place for the slightest mistake. I think I need to see that data again. I need my iPad. I extended my hand to Henry without speaking. The man seemed to know what I wanted. He gave me the iPad in his hand and let me fiddle around for a bit. When I finished, I showed the screen to him. He immediately nodded in understanding.

“Adrian,” whiskey. The man immediately looked at me. Immediately I sent a message through the finger that he immediately replied with a nod. My eyes returned to Nara, who had been abandoned by the entourage of July and Pradipta. Meanwhile Nara still looked seriously at Pradipta. This woman seemed to be thinking hard how to approach Pradipta. With such a look and slightly pursed lips, this woman looked extremely adorable. Her face was really pretty and became my best mood booster. There was an irresistible desire in my heart to tease her.

“Nara, watch your hair go bald. Don't think for him. I've found a way. You'd better come with Adrian and we'll meet in the next room. We'll maneuver the plan and make you the center of attention, not just the Pradipta, but the entire invitations in this ballroom.  Go!” I said at the same time giving the same orders to my two assistants. Adrian who had received the previous order immediately moved to lead Nara.

The show in the ballroom itself continued. MC is busy with the auctioneer on stage.  LC Charity Night goods and jewelry auction has started. There were dozens of items auctioned that night. All of them are valuable items from LC clients that are far from cheap. Actually understandable. The invited guests who were present that night were indeed not ordinary guests who referred to the hundreds of dollars as pennies. Even so, the Aerospace Family Necklace is one of the items that many people want. This necklace will be an auction

the last one to close the show.
