The Love Story of Five CEOs
Don't make marriage a toy

" Rend I'm going to go to the toilet first, my stomach suddenly hurts. Kam, you change me to play. Don't lose yes" said Arick as he passed away without waiting for a response from Kama.

"Well, how can I be your opponent, Rend. There's-there's Arick," Kama grumbled but still obeyed Arick's will to replace him play.

"Rend, it turns out that the woman you brought is beautiful huh? you brought him in because you wanted to make Arick accept Calista completely, right?" kama said while running her chess piece.

Arend stared intently at Kama. He did not answer Kama's words.

"Why don't you answer Rend? i right? If I really want to get close to him, can't I?"

"Me and her are getting married" Arend replied briefly.

"What?! married married married? did I not hear wrong? how do you marry a girl you don't love? your sacrifice is absurd, Bro." said Kama, shaking his head.

"It's up to me, Kam. Please don't interfere." said Arend ketus.

"I know that you don't love him. Poor that girl. Did you get married just for a while? if so, I can keep him close, so that when you two separate, he and I don't have to approach."

This time Arend not only did not answer, the man immediately stood up and left just like leaving Kama.

"Arend, why are you leaving?! who am I here with?!" yelled Kama, annoyed.

"Where's Arend?" suddenly Arick appeared and circulated his gaze to the corner of the room to look for the whereabouts of his twin brother.

Kama did not answer. He just shrugged his shoulders, in response to Arick's question.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Arend can we talk to you for a second?" Aby came to greet Arend who was standing while leaning his body on a pillar with Yanga's hands crossed to the chest.

"What's up, Pa? why ask like that? Papa talk to me." Arend replied, changing his position by standing straight facing his papa.

"Rend, we're talking in the study, Papa. If you don't want anyone here to hear what we're talking about,"

Arend frowned, puzzled as to why his Papa did not want anyone to hear their conversation.

"Is that really important, Pa?"

Aby just nodded and walked first, meanwhile, Arend stepped following his papa.

Arriving at the workspace, Aby accidentally closed the door of the meeting, so that no one could hear their conversation, because the workspace was deliberately designed soundproof.

"You sit down first!" tell Aby, because Arend still stands with a confused face.

Arend then stepped towards the sofa and landed not sitting on it.

"Pa, is there a pa anyway? looks like papa's serious." Arend looked at his papa with beads of eyes staring full of question marks.

"Rend, you know, actually, that you don't love Alena, right?"

Arend gasped in shock, hearing his papa's words that were on target.

Aby sighed, looking at her Son who was unwilling to be honest.

"You know Rend, if you marry him because you want to see Arick not feel guilty about you, right?" aby said again, staring right at Arend's bead.

Arend shook his head, did not answer his papa's words, because he knew that Aby his father must have investigated everything.

"Does papa follow me as long as I'm outside?" hatch Arend with raised eyebrows, probing.

"Not papa, exactly man, papah." said Aby, relax.

"That's the same, Pa."

Aby exhaled a little long. "Papa did it because he did not want anything to happen to you, even though you were sincere to release Calista along with Arick, papa's heart remained unsettled" Aby said, making Arend feel moved.

"Papa, you know when you help a girl to pay for drugs at the pharmacy because the woman's money is behind. Papa does not question it is precisely papa happy you have empathy for people who are in distress. Papa also knows that you helped the same woman, by taking her child to our hospital and paying all the fees, and papa doesn't mind that either. And papa also finally found out that the boy was not his son but he found him at the door of his contract and finally decided to take care of him." Aby was silent for a moment to take a pause, as well as breathing oxygen to fill her lung cavity. While Arend was silent, waiting for his papa to continue his words.

"Papa knows, you two agreed. And this makes it hard for papa to approve your marriage,"

Arend raised his eyes, feeling shocked by his papa's words. "But, Pa? did you agree to it?" protest Arend, worried that his papa changed his mind.

"Papa's not done talking, you don't interrupt what you want to talk about anymore,"

Arend was speechless hearing his papa's stern words.

"Papa's been investigating who Alena is. She's a good girl. But her aunt is dangerous. Just so you know, papa has also investigated the case of an accident that befell Alena's parents is because of the actions of her aunt who worked with her daughter, because the parents, Alena has a fairly large insurance, Alena has a large insurance, and his uncle didn't know it was his wife and son. When Alena was expelled her uncle also could not do anything due to intimidation from his wife."

Without Arend noticing his hands clenched tightly, feeling furious at his aunt Alena.

"Papa doesn't question if you're married to that girl. But the one you want, you're willing to marry her. Don't make marriage a game, Rend. If you do decide to marry her, you must be prepared to guard her from her aunt's evil actions. Especially if one day her aunt finds out that the girl is married to you. There will be envy in Alena, later."

Arend fell silent, hearing his papa's explanation. He thought what his father said was true. But the problem is now how can he live with Alena if he does not love the girl.

"Why are you silent? do you feel inadequate?" aby's chirps woke Arend out of his mind.

Arend remained unmoved, unable to answer his papa.

"If you marry her, try to love her, because papa is sure, to be able to love her, it will not take long." continued Aby back, seeing Arend who was still hesitant.

"Arend, the one thing you have to instill in your heart, marriage is not for toys. If you have decided to get married, you must be committed to what you decide and ready with all the consequences. Papa doesn't want his son to hurt a woman, let alone a good woman. Do you remember, how did you marry, your mother? papa was sincerely married to your mother who at that time was pregnant with you two. Though papa, did not know that the baby he contains is my own child. At that time also papa did not realize that papa loves your mother. But, at that time papa had no intention to divorce your mother." said Aby, reminding his story first.

Arend, take a deep breath and exhale it back into the air with a single blow.

"Good, Pah! I will marry her and try to accept her. And protect her from her aunt and cousin" said Arend, firmly.
