Chapter 50 - Aruna Or Tania

Aruna or Tania.

"What do you mean, grandpa? Why should I choose?!" Hendra tried to find the meaning behind the request.​​

"What else?! I will support you according to your choice. Now it's all up to you." Wiryo added.

"I can't decide this quickly." Hendra realised that every choice that his grandfather proposed had long consequences.

"This girl's father will come soon. And your time is only until he comes." It was so easy for Wiryo to press his own grandson.

Hendra shook a little.

He didn't know what to do. He couldn't even understand the meaning behind his grandfather's request.

This was out of the ordinary. The old man was usually told not to give a choice.

"May I know if I choose one of them, what kind of consequences do I receive??" Hendra didn't want to make mistakes.

"It's easy. I let my grandson get married to get the successor of Wenceslas's family. For that, whoever you choose, you have to undergo this marriage normally like a husband and wife." Wiryo started tapping his fingers.

"Grandpa doesn't care about your trauma or whatever. You have to go beyond your limit."

Wiryo's gaze made the blue-eyed man start seriously examining the two photos in front of him.

'Aruna will get back to her own life. She will definitely shine even more without this marriage agreement'

'Tania? The woman is easy to control. She will accept all my requests without the slightest rejection'

'If I choose the easiest one, Tania is very precise' Hendra's hand started moving closer to Tania's photo.

He then paused for a moment.

Why was there such a heavy feeling in his heart? There must be something.

'Why am I afraid of losing Aruna?' Hendra whispered to himself.

"You know when I let your uncle get married, He didn't have the slightest interest in me. More precisely, I forced him." Wiryo seemed to participate in providing directions.

Hendra stopped.

His eyes turned to Aruna's photo. But, his movement logically led to Tania's image.

Tania was the most correct reality.

"At that time, even the whole family rejected my decision because your grandma was a girl from an ordinary family. But, my heart said differently. She convinced me that we can survive our lives together."

"Now choose seriously." Wiryo carefully watched his grandson's movements.

'Aruna? I wish I had chosen it. My married life will only last for two years.'

Hendra's feelings and thoughts were chaotic.

"Knock... knock... knock...." Someone knocked on the door, breaking the tension a little.

Andos sneaked in to inform them that Aruna's father had come.

Wiryo took the two photos back, asking his secretary to bring Aruna and her father in.

"Remember, this is your last chance." His grandfather's words drained Hendra's heart and mind.

The girl walked with her father. She was a little scared.

She must have heard many stories about the Wenceslas family.

Wiryo stood up and smiled at Lesmana, asking his former secretary to sit in a chair near Wiryo.

Meanwhile, Aruna and Hendra stood stunned together.

"How is Aruna?" Aruna looked up at Wiryo's question.

"Good grandpa," Aruna replied briefly.

On the other hand, Hendra was clearly observing her.

'Who should I choose?' Hendra's mind raged.'

"Your daughter is getting cuter, Lesmana." The old man turned to Lesmana.

Lesmana then gave a careful smile.

To be honest, Lesmana was confused. Aruna couldn't possibly have the initiative to appear like this. Who prepared it all?

"How was your college? I heard that you are very busy. Even my grandson has a hard time seeing you."

Wiryo tried to buy time up to a certain point before he was actually going to ask the willingness of a pair of young couples in front of him.

To get married or to stop here.

Aruna just smiled, confused about what to answer.

She turned to Hendra.The girl asked for help.

Aruna's face was so cute in Hendra's eyes. His entire bloodstream was warm.

"It looks like I'm the one who has trouble matching the time with Aruna. So we had several problems."

"To be honest, outside of this, Aruna and I made an agreement to meet." Hendra tried to calm Aruna down.

The girl looked relieved and showed a grateful face.

"Alright, now I want to hear directly from Aruna." Wiryo's statement made Hendra tense.

"Because my grandson has difficulty making choices. Now I give that right to you." Said Wiryo.

Cold and sweat ran down Hendra's temples. He didn't expect his grandfather would go this far.

Every Wiryo's word blended into a calamity for Hendra.

"What do you think about this marriage?"

Aruna seemed confused to understand Wiryo's question.

She glanced at her father.

Lesmana moved his mouth, expressing the word 'honest' without a sound caught on.

"Actually, I hope this marriage..." Not yet over, Aruna answered.

"Let's do it!!" Hendra grabbed Aruna's hand and held it tightly. He cut off Aruna's explanation.

'What I have grasped, I will not let it go.'

Suddenly, Hendra remembered the strong statement he said to his grandfather and to himself.

Initially, Hendra was not brave enough to take the risk of choosing Aruna.

It turned out that there was a greater fear than that.

He was terrified of losing Aruna.

'What?!' Aruna secretly tried to release Hendra's grip.

The little girl even squeezed one of Hendra's fingers with her nails. Hendra did not flinch.

"I'll try to keep it as best I can." Hendra's next statement was a request for permission from Lesmana.

"I will try to go beyond my limit, grandpa." The statement this time answered his grandfather's request.

It was about the syndrome he was dealing with.

"You know how much risk?" The old man suddenly asked a question that only he could understand.

"I know. I know it very well, and I will try." Hendra made up his mind.

"What about Aruna?" Aruna waa still busy looking for a way to release Hendra's grasp.

She was a little surprised by Wiryo's question.

The girl once again glanced at her father.

Lesmana nodded, affirming the permission Hendra had just issued.

"I will accept my father's decision." Aruna's answer was soothing to anyone who heard.

Hendra clearly captured the interaction between father and daughter.

He was stunned.

How could Aruna easily comply with every of her father's requests?

Did this girl have no other strong will that she needed to fight for it? or at least care about herself?
