"Sorry, Uncle, Auntie. Radit promises not to carelessly talk," said Radit, who had previously received a lecture to enlighten the liver an overdose.
It doesn't make sense, makes that person's ear hurt.
At that time Radit, Mr. and Mrs. Sanjaya was in a room for an exclusive meeting about family matters. Outsiders and potential insiders are not allowed to join.
Are limited to the nuclear family and the parties concerned.
The topics discussed are sensitive.
"We've been on your side all along, son. Even when you speak ill of Redis who is a year above you. Redis is Uncle and Aunt's, son. You should respect Redis," said Mr. Sanjaya, the fifth time alluding to respect for elders.
Radit smiled, otherwise his uncle would be even more annoyed.
"Once again, I'm sorry Uncle and Auntie. Radit promised not to act like that."
Could what Radit said to be sincere...?
Of course not!
The annoyed person. How could Radit be trapped in a condition that should be for someone else?
Radit likes to see other people upset, and now he gets lectured.
"We will keep an eye on you. Remember, we have always been on your side, Radit. And now you have crossed the line. If you violate, be prepared to become enemies of the Sanjaya family all cooperation can be broken, including good relations. Remember and bear that in mind, young Mr. Samira."
"Pa, this is too much. We talking to Radit, not the head of the Samira family. Besides, Samira and Sanjaya are families," said Mrs. Sanjaya gently rubbing her husband's arm, trying to calm the person down.
Radit offended physically and mentally. The fierce competition between the two companies has been going on for a long time.
The company Sanjaya Corp has many overseas branches. Meanwhile, Samira Corp. is still lagging in this field.
It's just that in the country, Samira is superior. Even so, Radit can not be silent. What his uncle said flicked the corners of the person's heart and mind.
One thing to note, Radit is a CEO, mature and established. This of course made Radit know for certain the opportunities and times when they would not want to have a stock war.
The head of the Sanjaya family has declared war even though it is still not official. But it will certainly bring its impact.
What is clear is that Radit does not accept it!
Various plans immediately went back and forth in the person's mind.
Uncle, Aunt, cousin, family...?
Sounds disgusting.
"Of course Mr. Sanjaya. I'll keep that in mind."
Now there is no more words 'uncle,' Radit calls formal.
"Son..."
Mrs. Sanjaya stops talking. Her husband squeezed her arm tightly. A clear sign. Then the situation got hotter.
"After this, Uncle will call your parents soon. Get ready."
Instantly Radit's hands clenched tightly. Is there still love from a Radit Samira for their extended family?
There is!
Unfortunately, it is covered by a high ego. The will to win. The two cousins grew up 'indirectly' in an atmosphere of intense competition that continued into the company.
Radit is not as good as his parents thought all this time.
Radit was full of hate that can burn anything.
Redis' attitude that Radit wanted to win and stay ahead was the main trigger.
Hey come on, age is not a reference for someone to be pretentious.
What Radit did was not as bad as it seems if Redis didn't start first.
What is wrong is Redis, not Radit.
Look, it wasn't Radit who fell first, but Redis.
Age is not guaranteed. Specifications and competencies that play a direct role.
"Sure, Uncle, I'll excuse myself. Thank you."
Disgusted. When scolded, where did anyone say thank you? With great compulsion, Radit said so.
"Wait Radit, hear Auntie. We are still family, don't overdo it. After all, the family relationship is very strong. Blood is thicker than water."
Poetry or even a series of pearl sentences. Ah well, Radit doesn't want to think about it too much. Whatever happens, what is clear is that Radit wants to leave that place.
The night is getting late. Then the demands of work make Radit have to be extra careful.
While on his way home, Radit met someone who was still mysterious. But lo and behold, that person is blocking his way home.
Unfortunately, the chosen place is not good, namely, the parking area is quiet. Radit deliberately chose a place where people rarely saw him passing by to park his car.
"What's the matter, future sister-in-law?" asked Radit.
Eyebrows raised while smiling.
That woman's guts are pretty good too.
Meanwhile, Rein didn't speak, she was still looking straight at the person in front of her. Rein had planned this.
She said he wanted to go out for a while, the way he spoke was natural, then Meri finally let Rein go.
Rein smiled sadly, before long drew closer to Radit.
Right now, the two of them were only a step apart. The two of them faced each other.
"I don't know what happened between you and the Sanjaya family. Nor is the relationship between you and Redis. However, I emphasize not to be rash. Revenge and hatred make life uneasy. Before the person you hate loses, then that hate will continue to eat away like a chronic disease. What happened? The rope of strife never ends. You will continue to do so even when you die you pass it down to posterity."
Radit snorted. He tilted his head to look at Rein. While smiling the person spoke.
"Who are you, oh I forget. One night stand victim."
Plak!
Rein's slapped Radit. All that Rein did 100% consciously. It wasn't a wrong action she took at random.
Who is silent when others insult outright?
Radit rubbed Rein's slap then after laughing.
"I will not return this slap. Consider this an opening wedding gift from me. Sister-in-law-to-be, I'm trying to be nice. Because you seem like a good person. Then what do I get, this is a complete humiliation. Sincere feelings..., only false hopes."
"You don't also believe in love and sincerity?"
Rein stared blankly. The person in front of her was not much different from Redis. Rein was sick of meeting people like them.
Still the same, Radit's smile didn't shift a bit.
"What? Of course. I believe it. But, all of this is too difficult. It's a hassle," added Radit, putting his hands in his pants pockets.
Looked relaxed, as if nothing had happened before. Doesn't show the person who's been slapped at all.
Rein chuckles. It's as if the wonders of the world are lost and replaced by new ones.
It's so funny.
"Does sister-in-law want to be a wingless angel, who fixes crazy relationships between families?"
Hah..., hear what that guy is saying now. It's getting weirder until Rein feels like sinking herself to the bottom of the earth.
Or, is it better than Radit he buried?
"It's just that Sister, I prefer to call you Rein. Because..., you are indeed younger than me."
Immediately Rein froze in place, Radit whispered the sentence to her.
Rein's reflex pushed Radit. The position is not safe.
The girl's blood was boiling and seemed like it was bound to explode!
