My Beloved Partner
17

After a long journey Bia finally reached the home of her grandparents. He has memorized the road because he never once twice vacationed in Germany.

"Grandma's grandfather," Bia said as she arrived at Rasha's parents' house.He carried a large suitcase in his hand.

Antoni and Emely are shocked because their grandchildren came without notice.

"Hi honey," Emely gets a hug from Bia.

"Did you come alone?" asked Emely as she loosened her embrace. The old grandmother who was still beautiful at that age did not see the arrival of her son and daughter-in-law.

"Yes, I came alone, I'm on college leave," Bia lied so as not to make the two worry.

"Well rest in your room and then meet us at dinner" Antoni's orders were obeyed by his favorite grandson.

Antoni who feels suspicious does not necessarily believe Bia's words. He could see the lies in Bia's eyes.

"I'm going to call Indonesia" he told his wife then took the phone he had in his pants pocket.

"Hallo Rasya, why didn't you tell me that my grandson was coming, we had no preparations in advance" Antoni scolded with someone behind the phone.

"What?? we don't know Well if the Diamonds are going there, we've been looking everywhere" Rasya replied.

After Antoni hangs up the phone, he approaches his granddaughter. Emely was confused to see her husband walking quickly towards her grandson's room.

Tok tok tok tok

Antoni knocked on the door a few times before Bia opened the door.

"Diamond, can you talk?" the door to the grandson.

Bia nodded. "Did your parents know you came here?" ask Antoni gently.

Bia lowered her head and shook her head to answer the question from her grandfather. He sobbed because he felt guilty for lying to his grandfather.

"I'm sorry Diamond cake, I ran away from home," Bia said. He did not dare look into Grandfather's eyes.

Antoni brought Bia his needs."There is a problem what love story to grandfather," said grandfather Bia while stroking his long hair.

"There's no problem I just want a cake vacation," Bia still reluctantly recounts her relationship with Jaden.

"Alright maybe you need time, tell me when you're calm" Antoni said.

"What's the cake?" ask Emely to her husband.

"Actually Bia ran away from home," Antoni's words left Emely shocked.

"What happened to make my granddaughter run away from home?" ask Emely to panic.

"Either Grandma, she hasn't been willing to tell a story, we've given our grandchildren time to calm down" Antoni said wisely.

Emely, curious about her husband's words, finds out the truth by making a video call with her daughter-in-law.

"Hallo ma'am" said Ara from behind the scenes.

"What happened to my granddaughter until she ran away from home?" cecar Emely on Ara.

"She ran away because she didn't want to get married" Emely was still confused by the son-in-law's words.

"Married to whom? did you set him up with your husband's business partner's son hm?" ask Emely.

"Not ma'am, some time ago his lover proposed to him, but Bia did not want to marry him on the grounds that he would lose his freedom if married at a young age, what I love is why she doesn't want to talk well with Jaden, she just leaves him, I'm afraid Jaden has been dumped by my daughter" Ara said at length sobbing.

"Geez the boy" Emely was also upset by his granddaughter's attitude.

"Where are you going?" ask Emely to her granddaughter.

"You hang out" Bia replied casually.

"Hang out? who are you out with?" cecar Emely's.

"Sama kak Bulan nek, go first yes, later kak Bulan pick me up ko," Bia kissed her grandmother's cheek at a glance then hurriedly step out. Emely just shook her head.

She did not go out with her cousin but walked alone down the quiet streets that night. His mind was troubled to remember the stupid thing he had done.

"Jaden I'm sorry I shouldn't have left you" she said sobbing.

Ever since he was abandoned, Jaden's lover turned into a cold man. None of the officers dared to rebuke Jaden. He was the friendliest of all the officers.

"Sir this is the report you asked for" Ruby submitted a report on hotel profits last month.

"Command the HRD department to fire all female employees because we will reduce employees" she told Ruby.

Ruby swallowed her saliva. She is also female. Even though they were friends when he was a child, but he was still his boss.

"Sir if you're going to fire me too," asked Ruby a little hesitant.Jaden turned to the woman at a glance and then focused back on the report he had to check.

"Your power is still I need" Jaden replied without looking at Ruby.

Ruby exited Jaden's room and headed to the HRD room. He whispered something to the HRD head that made a shock.

Fortunately the man did not follow Jaden's orders because the hotel's top leadership was still in Darren's name.

"Has he gone mad? firing all female employees on the grounds of employee reductions, she thought I was going bankrupt," furious Darren as he heard the news of the dismissal of all female employees working at his hotel.

Then Darren meets Jaden in his room. Darren opened the door of his son's study room violently.

"What do you mean by firing all the female employees who are here?" darren's jolt that was so emotional to see the arbitrary behavior of his son.

"Their work is too slow the better I replace them with male workers," elak Jaden.

"See, just tell me you hate women" Darren said.

Jaden pulled the tip of his lips. "I do hate women" he murmured but sounded in Darren's ears.

Darren sighed. He knew his son was heartbroken. But he didn't expect it to be this bad.

"Boy I know you've been dumped by the woman you love, but it's not fair that you look ugly at all women, remember you also have a woman who loves you so much, mommy Celine," darren said as he patted his son on the shoulder.

Jaden closed his eyes. Her chest was so tight to hear the advice given by her parents. A flash of Bia's face was lying on her head. He still harbors that unrequited love. Although it is very difficult to remove.

"However you are Diamond, have the heart," he said softly while sitting limp in his chair.

Julian, who was already at the doorstep, undoes his intention to enter Jaden's study when he sees his twin brother bowing. He knew Jaden was deeply hurt after Bia left him overseas without saying goodbye. He understood Jaden's feelings.

"Why not get in?" ruby asked who was behind Julian. Julian just shook his head.

"The situation is not good" replied Julian.
