# "Everything happened so suddenly. I wasn't ready. But just when I thought I had lost something, someone reminded me that I never had anything in the first place." (Aleta)

"Really, Pa?! We're going on vacation together this weekend?!" asked Aleta excitedly. The 17-year-old girl stormed Hendra with a hug that was so tight. She laughed happily. Her adoptive father hugged back until Maharani cleared her throat sarcastically from behind.
"Ehem, Leta… Mama didn't invite you to hug her, did you?" Maharani said.
Aleta looked up with a grin. "Here, Mom! Join quickly! We'll punish Papa with a magic tickle!"
"Hahaha… okay!" Maharani joined. The woman also attacked Hendra with a tickle with Aleta. In fact, the man who became the CEO of Xaviery Corporation in the West Jakarta area had just returned home. Still wearing his suit, still carrying his suitcase, still standing in the very high main doorway, and behind him is still Raymond the most loyal right-hand man who faithfully follows with the car keys.
Raymond just kept quiet and bowed his head like the servants lined up at the door. There was Eve, his two most loyal servants, as well as his subordinates on duty that day. They pretended not to know. Be obedient as usual when Hendra, Maharani, and Aleta laughed until their voices were almost gone.
Hendra is the type of man who is very busy. In addition, he is also a workaholic. So, Aleta's time at home was only with Maharani and the servants since the girl was raised from an orphanage at the junior high level.
Aleta is often sad even though she was appointed by the conglomerate couple. She used to cry when she missed being with Hendra especially when he had been out of the country for a few weeks. Coming home at midnight, the man would only leave again the next day.
Xaviery Corporation is indeed a very large company. He is engaged in malls, hotels, textiles, coal, and palm oil. Aleta, who since she was a baby in an orphanage, never dared to imagine that the two of them would be taken as children. However, when she was 14 years old… it all just happened.
Aleta is really happy, but Maharani is also firm in educating her so as not to become a person who is blinded by arrogance even though she has become a princess suddenly.
Aleta also received a good education. She had complained that after school there were still more lessons at home, but gradually she understood what role she was taking.
Aleta is the successor. And Hendra's love with Maharani was given to her completely. However, only this year Hendra had time to celebrate her birthday outside the city. They are going to Bandung! Three! Full week vacation plans! No one bothered and it had been Aleta's dream for a long time.
Aleta is so excited that she can't sleep at night. She kept on choosing which clothes to take with her while she was away. And among the hundreds of shoes on the shelves, she tried 15 more that she didn't even realize it was morning.
Aleta ended up sleeping in the car alone. He lay in the back seat while Maharani just kissed her forehead before the woman sat in the seat next to the driver's seat.
