Revenge: Reborn
Chapter 283 I Appeal to You for My Son
After one week in Indonesia, Mr. Mahendra finally had to return to Hong Kong. The man felt that his task was complete, although his relationship with Ivona and Carminda could not be established, but Mr. Mahendra was relieved. The man has confessed his past mistakes, and has asked Carminda and Ivona for forgiveness. Both women have forgiven their past mistakes.
"Papa..., is papa not thinking of ending papa's service at the military command headquarters?" with an expression of objection, Frans tried to cancel Mahendra's departure. The old man looked Frans in the eyes, then smiled wryly.
"Just be at home, unaccompanied by grandchildren, great-grandchildren, will not please me Frans. I can fill my time by taking a walk in the command headquarters. Even though I was no longer young, at least I was still asked for consideration and discredited advice for military soldiers. I feel more alive and valuable in that place." Mahendra smiled, and conveyed his reasons for extending his service. With the age of 70 years, Mahendra still looks dashing.
Frans was silent, and he felt what the old man was thinking. But since childhood, their field is different. Mahendra molded him to become a reliable business man, and he managed to prove it. But seeing that Carminda has chosen to spend her life with Doctor Rafi, and Ivona is already in the villa with Aldo, Frans suddenly feels lonely as well. Although he can still take control of the company, but there is already Richard who will handle all affairs.
"Frans.., I know what you think. Papa thinks, with your age you can still get married again. Enjoy your life, give birth to another offspring to accompany you at the end of your age." As can guess what was on his son's mind, Mahendra gave advice to the middle-aged man.
"Heh.., what papa said. Ever since Frans learned that Carmind had chosen Rafi, Frans' heart had been broken. Only that woman Frans always impi and expect Frans to marry. But everything has happened.., we can't prevent it from happening." With a wry smile, Frans laughed. His love for Carminda was indeed a love of death, because of his foolishness in youth, making Carminda leave him alone.
Both the father and son were silent, they were immersed in their own thoughts. Suddenly, Mahendra patted Frans on the back.
"I have an idea Frans.., why don't you try to open your heart to Helen, Richard's secretary at the office?? It seems that the woman is still single, it is proven that she can prepare all the wedding needs of Ivona and Aldo very quickly and skillfully. Approach the woman.., papa is sure of your fondness in old age.., the woman will bend her knees to you." with a seductive smile, Frans rubbed the back of his only son.
"What the hell is papa saying.., Frans this old man. It's been over 50 years, ashamed of Richard and Ivona. Later they say, Frans the elders even odd. No.." Frans immediately rejected Mahendra's proposal. She could not forget Carminda until now.
"That's my business.., I still have one day in Indonesia. Tomorrow afternoon, I have to go to the airport. Don't think about love, you're old. Love for young people only.., the important thing is that you are not lonely." with a smile, Mahendra continued to advise Frans.

As planned, Mahendra invited Richard to speak. This afternoon, the man came to Richard's office to meet with Helen, his granddaughter's secretary. Just entering the front of Richard's workroom, it appears Helen has stood up to welcome the arrival of the old man, the woman bent her body, saluting Mahendra.
"So late Helen.., this hour why haven't you come home yet?" graciously, Mahendra replied to Helen's greeting. What the old man did was contrary to his daily life.
"Now the Great Lord.., Young Master Richard was also still inside the study. Unethical, my time left Young Master first." Helen replies to Mahendra's question, hands while tidying up her desk.
"Yes.., while waiting for Richard to finish.., how about you accompany me for a little chat!" unexpectedly, Mahendra immediately invited Helen to speak together. With a polite attitude, Helen agreed to Mahendra's invitation. The two men walked to the transit room. The place is usually used for guests who wait, if you want to meet with the directors. Because the day was off work hours, then Helen dared to use the room.
"Great Master would drink anything.., let Helen prepare for a moment!" after Mahendra sat down, Helen offered the old man a drink.
"Already Helen, don't bother. I just had tea before leaving for this company. Sit down.., there's something I want to ask you!" quickly, Mahendra rejected Helen's offer subtly. Hearing that, Helen immediately sat on the sofa in front of Mahendra sitting. The woman was a little worried if she made a mistake, until Mahendra asked her to sit in front of him. On the sofa in front of him, Mahendra even smiled looking at the woman.
"Helen.., tomorrow afternoon I have to return to Hong Kong. Well, if there's still one today, I want to make a big decision in my family. Answer honestly Helen.., are you engaged or have a boyfriend at this time?? Don't get me wrong, I'm not an old man who wants a girl like you." Mahendra went straight to the point, asking for Helen's status, and in order not to cause prejudice, Mahendra completed the sentence.
"No Great Lord.., Helen resigned how God wills. Helen's days were up to take care of the company, and when she got home she wanted to sleep. Likewise, on Saturdays and Sundays, Helen preferred to rest." quietly, Helen lowered her head. The woman did not dare look Mahendra in the eye.
Hearing that answer, Mahendra smiled with relief.
"Thank God if that's Helen.. If you want, I propose to you for my son Frans.. Look at the current situation, especially knowing that Carminda is married to Rafi. My son is like losing his spirit.., well, it might take some time to get your hearts together. But I'm sure, with your humble attitude you'll be able to subdue Frans." without further ado, Mahendra immediately proposed to Helen for his son. Indeed Helen's age is over 30 years, and for that age it is too late in this country if not married.
Helen was surprised, the young woman raised her face, and looked at Mahendra. The old man smiled, trying to convince the young woman in front of him.
