YOU'RE A LICK OF ME
54. Find Other Candidates
"Why must Decky pa's ex-wife? aren't you looking for another candidate?" ask Egi who tries to subtly refuse.
"Papa doesn't want another woman. Papa just wants him! papa knows papa's late. But frankly, I feel guilty about the kid. Maybe you'll think, papa wants to make you a family victim. But trust me, he's a good, smart kid. If you know Decky will waste the child, of course from the beginning he will be a match with you," said Hanggono at length.
"But if you refuse, it's okay. Maybe in old age you have to feel the feeling of being disappointed by people who are dear to you," continued Hanggono.
Egi took a long breath. Hanggono seemed to give himself the freedom to choose his soul mate, but on the other hand Hanggono seemed to give an ultimatum.
"alright. Just set it up then," said Egi who made a smile on the wrinkled face of Hanggono inflate perfectly.
"Papa knows you are indeed my beloved son. Tomorrow I will call the boy here to discuss this matter with him. Papa wants you to get married as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if you don't want to publish your marriage. The important thing is that you are married first" said Hanggono.
"But papa don't pressure the boy if he doesn't want to do this marriage. I don't want the results to end badly, and he'll run away after finding out I'm a pretty grown man. If you can tell, how old is that kid?" ask Egi.
"19 years. He just had a birthday." Hanggono's answer made Egi so surprised.
"19 years?" ask Egi.
"Yes. So you have nothing to lose by young leaves." Answered Hanggono chuckled.
"Young but still used. It could've given me the rest of that son of a bitch" Egi said.
"Like you're not just a bastard. We are both entrepreneurs. Do you think a businessman never got away from a scandal with a beautiful woman? Papa is sure you have done it too. Yes, although not all entrepreneurs are like that, but papa is sure you are as bad as papa," said Hanggono while chuckling, while Egi just shook his head.
"But even if you're a bastard, you should also know the limits. If there is a mistake while adventuring, you must dare to be responsible for your actions," continued Hanggono.
The words of Hanggono reminded him of the figure of Leony. He wanted to tell me about Leony but he was sure that Hanggono would not like that. Leony has been married and has children. Not a status that might be said by Hanggono, but the story of their bitter past makes Hanggono blacklist Leony as a prospective son-in-law.
"I could've made that mistake with Leony. If you find out, you will be disappointed. But what's wrong with Leony? I'm the one who started first. I better follow this matchmaking first, maybe the child can I compromise in the future," Inner Egi.
"You have to believe. If you don't choose a mate wrong for you. Papa just doesn't want him to fall for the wrong guy anymore" said Hanggono.
"Do you think I'm a man worthy of him?" ask Egi.
"Very." Answer Hanggono.
"If you think she's the woman I deserve, and I deserve her. I will grant papa's wish," said Egi.
"Good boy" said Hanggono, patting his son on the shoulder.
Meanwhile in a different place Decky was having a warm conversation with Riki. Decky's mood is not good at this time, because it has been one week Olivia is in Singapore for a walk. Plus he couldn't find Deva's whereabouts, to ask about the fake certificate he had.
"You promised to go home tomorrow!" said Decky across the phone.
"I'll be waiting for you at the airport tomorrow morning, period."
"Yes already. Be careful! love you,"
Decky ended the conversation over the phone call.
"That's so good of you guys. Not bored what I keep seeing? let him spend his own time. He also needs to enjoy, not to wait for you in bed," led Riki.
"Just the word of a single person is so," Decky said as he chuckled.
"Oh yeah by the way it looks like Deva has met my grandfather," Decky continued.
"Because Grandpa already knows that Deva and I are divorced. I can't wait to teach that brat a lesson. How dare he trick me" Decky said.
"Before you teach him a lesson, leave him to me first. Anyway, the bandits must remain mine. I want him to feel the pain in his precious part due to his abusive treatment" said Riki.
"We'll calm down. I still remember your suffering caused by it" Decky said.
"So when are your wedding plans with Olivia?" ask Riki.
"I don't know yet. Olivia wants to pull back in a minute. I don't know why he wants to be like that. Though other girls if invited to marry by me, definitely do not think twice. Olivia is special." Answer Decky.
"Oh yeah. Who's Olivia going to Singapore?" ask Riki.
"Well his friends." Answer Decky.
"Friends? which friend is it? the feeling during your 3 years of dating, never saw Olivia hanging out with girlfriends. We're always gonna play three?" ask Riki.
Decky's speechless. The man seemed to remember the truth of his best friend's words.
"yes too. Whose friend of Olivia's? I never met his best friend. You could say, I'm his girlfriend and his friend, "inner Decky.
"I'll make sure. Maybe it's her friend at school, or her friend at a modeling agency first" Decky said.
"Yes, I'll unplug it first. It was late to rest," said Riki.
"OKAY. Be careful!" decky.

"Is there anything that Hanggono's grandfather has contacted me?" said Deva lirih.
Deva shifted the green arrow, and received the call.
"Yes cake?" asked Deva while linking a bag containing a laptop on his motor matic.
"Are you in college today?" ask Hanggono
"Yes cake." Answer Deva.
"What time are you home?" ask Hanggono.
"Today we're home at 2. What's the cake? does Grandpa want anything?" ask Deva.
"Grandfather wants to talk to you about something important. Can you stop by the pavilion?" ask Hanggono.
"Can cake. After I get home, I will definitely stop there. What's grandpa gonna bring?" ask Deva.
"No need. Grandpa just wants to see you," said Hanggono.
"OK cake. See you later!" said Deva.
Deva and Hanggono ended the conversation. Hanggono could breathe a sigh of relief, as Deva agreed to meet him. She is very hopeful, Deva agrees to her proposal to marry Egi.
