When the Inca became the Inca
06
Oliver was surprised by his daughter's request. He knew Kanigara very well, because the young man had been a friend of his son since childhood. But as he remembered, neither the Inca nor Kanigara ever looked close enough to make the princess ask Oliver to propose to Asher's best friend.
"Are you sure, honey? As far as Papi is concerned, have you ever been seen close to Gara? What's the reason you asked Kanigara to be your husband?" asked Oliver to ascertain the intentions of the Inca.
"Remain pi! We are very close but I have long loved one-sided Kak Kani," replied the Inca by mentioning his surname unfortunately to Kanigara during his time as his wife first. Oliver sighed heavily and asked the Inca for time to think things through. He could not make such an important decision just because of the request of the princess. Oliver did think of the Inca's happiness, but he felt the Inca should be closer to Kanigara before deciding his future fate by marrying Kanigara.
Inka just nodded and gave the father time to think about the request. But for the sake of the smooth mission, the Inca also met Asher and asked for help from the brother to persuade the father to give his blessing and willing to propose Kanigara for him.
"Are you sure, Ka?" ask Asher who made the Inca grunt rudely because Asher asked the same thing as Oliver, the father.
"Why do you ask the question that sa ma with papi? If I'm not sure, can I dare to send that request to Papi?" obviously Inca while looking at the brother with a firm look.
Asher thought about the words of the Inca, then tried to remember the track record of Kanigara association that has always been clean. Kanigara is also a good person and very responsible. He has assumed his duties as the second heir to the throne of Janu Group at a young age because his best friend's father died when Kanigara was still sitting in high school. He and his brother named Niskala who eventually held the reins of leadership in the Janu Group assisted by the aunt. The success of Niskala and Kanigara at that time, can not be separated from the help of all the employees of the father who is very loyal to him.
"Ekhemmm," murmured Asher after he came to his senses from his daydream. In the end Asher nodded and promised to help the sister who made Inka immediately embrace the brother while saying thank you. Asher is very confident that Kanigara will be able to make his beloved sister happy.

Oliver finally agrees to apply to Kanigara after being persuaded and convinced by Asher and Elisha. Inka and Gianna were delighted to hear the news because one step in their initial plan had been successfully passed. They just have to wait according to the time set by the Inca to realize his intention, although the Inca actually still a little doubt with the proposal because in the memory of the Inca, the Inca, Kanigara rejected his proposal twice before changing his mind and marrying the Inca.
"Ehm, Ka, sorry if I have something on you. Are you sure you want to execute your plan? Do you ever think that God might give you a second life not for revenge, but to live as a new Inca and escape from the shadows of your past?!" asked Gianna who was suddenly worried that the Inca would experience the same life as before. He was not prepared to lose the Inca, when he knew what the Inca had experienced in his first life.
"Ear! But my meeting with Kanigara made me believe that God gave me a second chance, so that I could correct my mistakes and achieve what should be mine. No turning back, beb!" reply Inca with a firm look that makes Gianna raise both hands sign of surrender. Gianna knew that if the Inca had made up her mind no one would be able to change her decision except God or her own.
Inka filled her days by immersing herself in her work while waiting for the opening of their new branch in Batam to be held next month. Gianna also keeps updating information related to the list of names that are already in the hands of their hired detective named Kenneth.
"According to Kenneth's information, Leticia and her father are still in London because the mother of the woman has just died. Kanigara was also present on the day of his funeral" Gianna said, making the Inca nod their heads.
Something has changed, the Inca.

Kanigara was seen circulating her gaze around, which made Asher ask.
"Who's it from, bro?" it was Asher's tease that made Kanigara smile knot.
"Gue hing again nyari people, I just see the interior of your new office is quite cool as well," said Kanigara who makes Asher tick because he believes Kanigara is lying. Asher several times saw Kanigara steal a glance at his sister during the tape scissors event. But Asher chose not to debate his best friend, he instead invited Kanigara to get acquainted with their other business partners.
The inauguration ceremony was completed, Oliver invited Kanigara to dinner together. At dinner that time, Inca and Gianna were deliberately not included, because Oliver would submit a proposal requested by the Inca before. Oliver and Elisha fear that the Inca will be embarrassed and hurt if Kanigara rejects their proposal in front of the princess. Asher also agreed to it, because Kanigara who he knew would not hesitate to refuse something directly if it did not fit his heart.
Inka and Gianna were actually next to the room where her family and Kanigara had dinner. Gianna walked back and forth because she was worried about the results of the conversation related to the proposal submitted by her best friend. While the Inca just sit still while playing his phone. Gianna looked at Inka with a questioning gaze, because she could not read the mind of her best friend who looked so calm.
"Well, are you worried or what? Why just silent like a statue, gregetan I squirm it tau!" gerutu Gianna who made the Inca let out his grin.
"The statue can't play hape times, Gi! In my previous life Kanigara rejected my application twice, so if this time he refused, I was not surprised," replied the Inca relaxed that made Gianna glared at him.

An hour later, Asher contacted the Incas to ask them to join. Upon entering the room, the Inca no longer discovered Kanigara's whereabouts. Oliver asks Inca and Gianna to sit down. Oliver stared fixedly at the Inca, before opening the conversation. Asher looked at Gianna with amusement, because instead of looking at the Inca he thought would look anxious, but what he found was Giannah who was busy squeezing hands and looked nervous.
"Ehmmm, Kanigara accepted your proposal, dear. But for the sake of ethics, this week Kanigara will visit our house, to propose to you officially. He also asked that your marriage be held one month from now" Oliver said, to Inca's surprise. He frowned because he felt strange hearing the information that his father had just told him.
Gianna immediately embraced the Inca and congratulated him, as did her family. Inka chose to play the role of a future bride who was happy because she would soon marry a man she loved so that her family did not suspect.

After Inca was alone in her room, she sat on the sofa facing her dressing table. He looked at himself in the mirror. He saw the look of a sad face on the reflection of his original face.
"Welcome to this game, baby. This time you must be a winner, dead or alive!"
