“I wouldn't have a daughter-in-law like you! Village women like you must only be targeting our family property,”, said mrs Belinda still with a look down on her.
“Sudi does not want, aunt still has to accept me. Grandpa Geoffry has chosen me for a match with Richard, my aunt's son. Shouldn't aunt appreciate Geoffry's grandfather's choice?” Richela was already used to getting such a look and not paying him any heed at all.
“Not—I won't let you marry my son. Even if it was his grandfather Richard's choice, I could definitely change it. Soon I will expose your true intentions to grandfather Richard. Then you will never again be able to set foot in this residence,” concluded Belinda, harsh on her decision not to accept Richela.
“Truly tan? Well I am looking forward to it but even if aunty can,” Richela quipped directly, making mistress Belinda feel provoked.
“You don't underestimate me!” the memory of Belinda. “A village girl like you will definitely manage to get rid of me from here. Your grandfather Richard's choice is just luck and it won't last long. His grandfather Richard was wrong for choosing you,”
“Today aunt! I don't know what he did, until grandfather betrothed him to a cousin!” timpal was a girl who had just come out of the Vilhelm residence. He looked dislikefully at Richela.
The girl's name was Theresia, Richard's cousin. She's only 18. He is childish and likes to be outspoken. However, he loved Richard as his cousin. So he wanted his cousin's brother to get a good wife, classy and clear background. Seeing Richela's appearance, of course he also thought the same as his aunt. This is because Richela's background is unknown. They could not find out his background without the permission of Mr. Geoffry—the great lord of the Vilhelm family, as well as the grandfather of Richard.
“As far as you want to say what. Obviously I came here to fulfill the request of my grandfather and Geoffry's grandfather. So can you tell me, where's my room? I am tired and want to rest,” asked Richela casually regardless of the gaze of the two people before her.
this village lady is really annoying! I'll teach you a lesson!` inner Theresia
“Your room is on the 2nd floor. Room door was black,” Theresia replied with a forced look.
The room Theresia mentioned just now was Richard's. Theresa planned to avenge Richela by making her enter her cousin's room. He knew clearly that Richard was very nobody to touch his stuff. Especially to get into his room. Richard would have been very angry and that's what Theresia wanted. He wanted Richela to receive anger from his cousin's sister in retaliation from him.
“Theresia—” mistress Belinda wants to be angry at her niece for notifying Richard's room but directly in between Theresia.
“Don't be mad at me auntie! This village lady is a guest in our residence. What would Grandpa say later, if until we do not give him a room to rest. Could have told grandpa later and it's not good, right aunt?” Theresia spoke while giving a signalling look at Aunt Belinda.
`What is this child planning?` inner mistress Belinda
“Ya-yep. You go to that room to rest!” mistress Belinda was forced to say what Theresia said. He knew that his nephew must have planned something.
“Then thank you, aunt. I went to rest first,” without the slightest suspicion, Richela immediately pulled her suitcase and Theresia gave way for her to enter.
Richela walked into Vilhelm's residence. Richela had a debate between Belinda and Theresia. Mrs Belinda certainly did not agree that until Richela entered Richard's room. But Theresia immediately explained her plan and eventually mistress Belinda understood.
“Good plan, Theresia!” praise mistress Belinda grinning.
“Iya dong aunt,” sahut Theresia smiled satisfied.
Then the mistress Belinda and Theresia walked into the residence. Continue their activities to relax in the family room.
***
Arriving at the room that Theresia was referring to, Richela put down her suitcase. Then walk through every corner of the room dominated by white paint. The size of the room is very large and spacious. Completed some more room furniture items into the Masculine style. But Richela did not think strange about all that. He continued to explore every corner of the room until his steps stopped right at the glass door that connected the room with the balcony of the room.
He slid the door and walked to the balcony. His eyes looked in amazement at the view of Berlin he could see from the balcony. Both of his hands were holding the Balcony fence.
“Berlin city is indeed beautiful,” Richela develops her smile.
Richela slowly closed her eyes. Feel for a moment the fresh breeze of the afternoon in Berlin. The bangs of his hair flew because in the wind blows it.
“Well even though I came here because I was forced to comply with grandfather's request but it doesn't seem too bad. I can take advantage of the betting time during these 3 months to take a walk as well,” he continued along with opening his eyes again.
Richela came here indeed because of demand, as well as betting with her grandfather. The bet concerns his and Richard's bet. Her grandfather—tuan Hans, asked her to be Richard's secretary for 3 months. Actually, not only for that, but this 3-month period aims to foster his feelings for Richard. If for these 3 months Richela remained devoid of feelings, Mr. Hans would have annulled his betrothal.
“No—grandpa no! I don't want to be paired with him!” whining Richela on her grandfather—tuan Hans.
“Why not want? Richard's son is a good man. Grandfather is sure you will be happy with him,” Mr. Hans rubbed lovingly the head of the granddaughter.
“Kakek—” Richela wants to protest again but first in between the lord Frederick—Her father.
“See your grandfather's request, Richela! Your grandfather's choice was never wrong. Papa guarantees it,”take lord Frederick to his youngest daughter's.
“But it could have been the choice of grandfather this time wrong,” chirps Richela made the three people who were sitting with her, shaking their heads.
“You must not doubt your grandfather's choice, dear. Your own mother is like your own. Guarantee that your grandfather's decision or choice is never wrong. Believe!” ms. Nanetta tried to persuade Richela to accept her betrothal to Richard.
“Iya ma, I believe. I also believe that grandfather's decision or choice is never wrong. But this time it could be different. We never know. Moreover, it concerns my life. Can't I choose my own partner, cake?” pinta Richela turned to Mr. Hans.
He really doesn't want to be married. Especially with a guy like Richard, that flat face. Huh would never want to!
“Grandfather instead does not allow you to choose your own partner but this matchmaking has been set for a long time. Grandfather and grandfather Richard arranged for you to strengthen the friendship relationship,” Mr. Hans understood the wishes of his grandson.
“Then should I be the one sacrificed here, cake? I don't want to be married to a man I don't know. Especially with men who are exposed will flat face it. I really don't want to. Cancel this matchmaking well, cake! Please!” Richela was whining more and more at Mr. Hans. Wishing his grandfather would grant his request, as usual.
“You only know Richard from the news. Never met him in person and knew him more deeply. Richard was actually a warm man. It's just not seen,” said Mr. Frederick while drinking his warm coffee.
“Ish papa know where all that is?”hiss Richela looked at her papa.
“Papa met him several times. Hence papa did not hesitate to say that,” said Mr. Frederick.
“Have you heard what your papa said, honey? Mama hope you agree. At least to get to know him more closely first, no problem. Right pah?” madam Nanetta glanced at her father-in-law Hans—papa.
“Iya true. You can get to know Richard better. His grandfather and grandfather had also agreed on one thing. You worked as Richard's secretary for 3 months. That at once for you to recognize it more deeply. If during those 3 months, you still have no feelings for Richard. Grandpa is willing to cancel. How about this?” proposed Mr. Hans who had thought about this.
Mr. Hans recalled how stubborn Richela was. Only this way would succeed in persuading him.
“Hmmm,” Richela cleared her throat lightly while weighing the proposal from her grandfather.
“Your grandfather's proposal is pretty good. Are you sure you don't want to try it?” ask Mr. Frederick to Richela.
“Your grandfather's proposal benefits you too. Try it first, baby! Like you said, we'll never know. Yeah--will never know if it hasn't been tried,” mistress Nanetta stares warmly at her daughter. As the person who had given birth to Richela, it must have understood very well her nature. His daughter was stubborn and not easily persuaded.
“If I try it, how about my lecture?” that was one of Richela's considerations, before agreeing to his grandfather's proposal.
“Mildly only. Papa will contact Egon so that your internship time is accelerated,”sahut mister Frederick provides a solution.
“Hmmm then fine, I'll try! Just 3 months and grandfather had to keep the grandfather's words,” Richela said approving his grandfather's proposal, after thinking about it for a while.
“Grandfather will not renege,” reply master Hans smiled satisfied with his grandson's approval.
#Flashback Off#
Satisfied with the wind of Berlin, Richela walked back into the room. Do not forget also the door was closed and all the room curtains on the pull, because the sky was getting dark. The room lights are all on too. Before laying herself on the bed with that soft-looking mattress, Richela decided to change her clothes first. He had taken a shower before leaving. No need to shower anymore.
