The Gambling Bet
Oma arrival.

         A month had passed, Adrian who was preoccupied with work that had long been abandoned, making him so tired, plus so many problems that came in a row made the work pile up.

         Puspa, who was demoted to OB, is now returned to his initial position as secretary, because of his services that have saved Alya from stabbing Baron.

        Puspa who used to look glamorous and make up thick, different from his appearance now. Now the appearance of Puspa dressed modestly, even Puspa makeup his face with makeup and thin lipstick looks natural but does not eliminate the look of his beautiful face.

         Adrian who was in his room had several times massaged his head that felt throbbing pain.

          Tok.dok..

          "Yes in!." Adrian Sahut.

          Bayu appeared from behind the door with a few maps in his hand. Bayu pulls up the chair and sits in front of Adrian. Bayu's eyes looked at Adrian who was sitting in front of his laptop looked so tangled.

         "New bride kok tangled." Sayu quipped.

        Adrian did not respond to Bayu's babble, he only glanced at Bayu who sat in front of him.

          "Bay, how are we developing our cooperation project with Sudirja's company, I want you to monitor it." Adrian.

         "Thank God it's going well, it's already running twenty-five percent, but you need to go to the field as well bro so you know the quality of its work." Answer Bayu.

         Adrian nodded his head, he was thinking, the project is now working with Sudirja company, he wants to investigate who can be trusted, he said, and Adrian wants to get closer to the Sudirja family. Because Adrian wants to know, why until this moment from the Sudirja side there is no sign of finding out that the Sudirja heir is still alive.

          "Bay sent someone to sneak into Sudirja's company, what percentage of shares belong to Sudirja." Adrian looked towards Bayu.

        Bayu furrowed his brows he did not understand why Adrian asked him to investigate.

         "For what.?" Ask Bayu.

         "I want to know Bay, Alya has a few percent stake in Sudirja company, because in the data I have does not match the stock chart owned by Burhan." 

         "Yes, there is a high chance of cheating bro, whereas Alya did not know until this moment her identity." Answer Bayu

        "true." I want you to investigate.!" Adrian.

         "Well then 'I have Jonathan look for someone who can sneak in there." 

         "Hem." 

          Bayu rose from his seat & left Adrian in his room.Adrian who sat alone now his mind floated thinking of Alya.

        Adrian hopes Alya can accept himself and the new relationship that has been built. It has been a month since Adrian and Alya's domestic relationship has made no progress. Alya is still shutting himself off from Adrian, it may be difficult for Alya to adapt.

             Adrian grabbed his phone several times Adrian shifted up and down his phone.He looked at the wedding photo with Alya. The picture that was immortalized by the photographer was a tired elixir Adrian.

           "I'm sorry Alya, I can't reveal who you are yet, I need time to know everything" Adrian murmured.

          Adrian looked at the photo of Alya, looking a sweet smile painted on his lips. In the wedding photo, Alya is very happy.

              ******

           Tok…

          Hearing the door being knocked from outside, Dona who was busy playing her phone rushed up from her seat. Dona, who was given the task of keeping Alya and her son safe, is now walking near the door. After the door opens.

        "Where's Adrian.?" I want to see him." Oma Jayanti .

         "Sorry madam, you're not allowed in." Dona said politely.

         "What.?" This is my grandson's house, who do you dare to forbid me.?" Answer oma Jayanti ketus.

          "Call him.!"I want to talk to him." Oma Jayanti yells at Dona.

          "Master is resting, madam." Answer Dona.

           "Adrian..Adrian.."Exit.! Oma wants to talk." Shouted oma Jayanti.

            Adrian who was in his room rushed out, Adrian's eyebrows linked to look at the oma Jayanti who stood face to face with Dona who tried to block.

            Adrian approached the oma Jayanti, clearly visible from the look on his face oma Jayanti harbored his anger.

            "What's the oma.?" Ask Adrian.

            Alya emerged from her room from hearing the commotion from outside.

        Highlight the eyes of oma Jayanti stared intently at Alya. His anger instantly soared to see Alya. Oma Jayanti walked towards Alya, Adrian swiftly pulled Alya's body behind his body to protect Alya from the anger of his oma.

           "Oma, what's this, when suddenly comes immediately angry.?" Ask Adrian.

           "Enough.!" Oma, can't you talk okay .?" Adrian.

         Alya who hid behind Adrian's body immediately closed his eyes, he tried to hold back the tears that would fall because he heard the insults of Adrian oma. 

         "How dare you live with this lowly woman in your apartment.?" Jayanti's oma said with up and down breath.

          Adrian takes a rough breath trying to hold the anger that almost exploded, if only not the current oma in front of him and insulted Alya who was already his rightful wife, maybe Adrian threw it into the red sea this second, too. Given that oma Jayanti was the person she was most disinclined to be after her mother, she tried not to do anything stupid.

          "Oma, who do you mean by that lowly woman, she is my wife and I have married her because of Allah oma." Adrian clenched both his hands.

          "But I will never give my blessing to you Adrian." Shouted oma Jayanti loudly.

           Adrian grasped tightly Alya's hand, as if there was power flowing from Adrian's body, Alya permeated Adrian's hand grip he felt as if protected from Adrian. 

          Debate with oma Jayanti completely drained Adrian's mind, Adrian took his breath to unravel the anger that had been held since. 

         Oma Jayanti was very furious with Adrian's defense for Alya, oma Jayanti stepped forward towards Adrian , while oma Jayanti wanted to reach Alya, Adrian advances forward like a shield protecting Alya. The frightened Alya just kept quiet with her body shaking.

            "Surge.!" You're okay Adrian." Ima Jayanti said.

            "Oma, let's talk good." Refer Adrian again.

           "Talk well, there's no need." Oma Jayanti turned her eyes to stare cynically at Alya behind Adrian's body.

         "You're really crazy Adrian, you don't think about the honor of the Dharmawangsa family, having to marry a woman like this." 

         "Oma, what kind of woman is Alya.?" 

          "Did you forget.?" This woman has already sold her body to you, so maybe she just wants to live a good life.?" 

                 Deghs.

               Destroyed already Alya heart listen to the insults from oma, Alya squeezed the tip of the shirt, not felt now the tears that he had been able to endure had finally fallen as well.

            "Of.o.!" Pekik Adrian inflamed.

            "With or no blessing oma, Adrian will still be Alya's husband, until death will separate us both." Adrian said loudly.

           "Omma should go home.!" Before I call security." Adrian .

             All over the body of Ora Jayanti bristled when she heard Adrian his only grandson, had dared to expel him. Oma Jayanti with a stomping step left the expressionless Adrian.

              ******

           The atmosphere of the house is much calmer after the departure of oma Jayanti. Adrian still holding Alya's hand. Alya who was frightened just according to when Adrian led Alya into the room, Adrian then sat him on the edge of the bed.Adrian sat beside Alya.

           "Alya, please forgive oma yes, oma is actually a good person, it's just that she doesn't know you any closer." Adrian said 

          Alya did not say, he was silent in his sobs, his heart was completely wounded, his life was meaningless and worthless.

           "Sorry sir, may I ask.?" Said Alya faltering in her tears.

          "Hey, I'm your husband, did you forget we were married.?" Adrian gemas.

         "Ma.pardon me." Alya clenched her lips tightly. He was afraid Adrian would bite his lips. 

         "Say!" What do you want to ask.?" Answer Adrian.

          "Why do you have to marry me, you know I'm a despicable woman as I said to oma." Alya.

          Adrian took a deep breath and took it out through his nose.

        "Alya, marriage is mandatory law, for us to breed increase offspring, the problem I marry you, you already know the answer, I do not want to be a cowardly man."

        "Right now you can't accept me as your husband, but I'll wait until the time comes, I know one day you can love me." Adrian said at length.

          Alya was amazed to hear the answer from Adrian, he did not expect if this man did not mind his status where he came from. 

        There was a certain inner calm for Alya after she heard Adrian's words.

        "We built this house, for our son's sake let it be a complete family, I promise I won't touch you until you allow it." Adrian said back

         "How's it.?" Do you agree.?" 

         Alya nodded her head slowly.  Adrian wants to open the way of Alya's mind, so as not to be too afraid to face everything whatever, for a while they will live in one roof in the shade of the household .
