Love In The Throne
Billing Promises

"Alvin.... Thatuu... It never changes. Absolutely outrageous !!!" the furious voice of Oma Ana sounded extremely annoyed and threatening. His old fingers squeezed firmly into the handle of the stick when his eyes saw a pile of photographs of his men that he accidentally sent to spy on the lives of Alvin and Nanda in his new home. Photos of Alvin treating Nanda arbitrarily by deliberately lowering his wife on the side of the road, and the photo of Nanda walking alone along the streets of the housing complex both in the morning and at night has succeeded in making Oma Ana furious and angry. Alvin apparently could not hold the commitment that he had said. The promise will take care and treat Nanda well, it turns out that it is just a stale base.

The mansion he owns now feels very lonely since Alvin's surprising decision to move into his own home. Almost every night Oma Ana skips her dinner alone. Hadinata's son, he, and his wife seemed to deliberately keep her distance as an expression of their annoyance because the Oma had arbitrarily and unilaterally betrothed his only child with a woman who was neither his choice nor Alvin's choice. Although the respect Hadinata and his wife still show, but Oma Ana still feels that the respect shown by her son and daughter-in-law is just a formality. Respect for the child to his parents. There is no warmth in it. They are busy with their own interests. Even to just call asking if he had eaten or not, it has never been done again by them.

Oma Ana continues to understand. He was wrong to have married Alvin unilaterally to the woman of his choice. But Oma Ana is convinced, that the woman she chose as Alvin's wife, is not an arbitrary woman. Although Nanda comes from a family that is arguably poor but Nanda has high self-esteem. It was seen from how persistent Nanda worked day to night to collect rupiah coffers. Where the money if it has been collected directly used to pay for the treatment of his mother who is sick. His level of concern and patience was also high. Nanda was very very very close to both of her parents. In addition, what Oma Ana likes about Nanda is that Nanda does not have a lover. It's not that there aren't any men who won't go near Nanda. Nanda's sweet, friendly and uninspiring face makes many men out there fight hard just to get Nanda's heart. That means Nanda hasn't been touched, has she?

Oma Nanda has already investigated in detail about who Nanda is and how her personality is. Nanda always rejected the men who tried to approach her. Nanda's first priority is the recovery of her mother. If the mother has recovered from her illness, then Nanda will look for a life partner. Because of that reason, Oma Ana felt confident that matching Alvin with Nanda was the right decision. On the other hand, there are many consequences that he has to accept. Both from a slightly sneering corporate relationship will be poor besieging, a change in attitude Hadinata and his wife, to the attitude of Alvin himself who hates him.

The housemaid assistants have finished arranging various breakfast menu dishes this morning. Hadinata and her wife arrived at the dinner table. As usual, they immediately started their breakfast without waiting for Oma Ana to come. Shortly after, Oma Ana came and immediately sat down on the dining chair.

"For Ma.." said Hadinata politely greeting her mother. Oma Ana only gave a small nod in response to the greeting from her son.

An Art prepares a plate and pours his favorite hot ginger water.

"What menu do I want to get?" art said very politely.

"I want rice porridge only" he said in a tone full of authority.

"Good mistress" deftly Art took a medium bowl and filled rice porridge complete with side dishes as. Oma Ana enjoys the delicious rice porridge of her home professional chef's cuisine.

The three of them calmly enjoyed their breakfast without speaking. Desiana, who had finished her morning meal, seemed to be carefully wiping her lips with tissue after sipping warm pure orange water as her morning drink.

"Ma... Sorry if this might sound a little awkward. Alvin is married. As you promised that if Alvin was married, then Mama's shares of 60% will you give to Alvin? Then, when is Mama's plan to hold a board meeting for the transfer of company shares?"

"You don't have to worry. The board meeting on the transfer of company shares will be held soon. But it's not the time. I'd like to see first the development of Alvin's marriage to Nanda. I don't want this marriage to be just a formality for the sake of getting 60% of my shares" said Oma Ana was relaxed but full of emphasis. Desiana was upset because her mother-in-law had deliberately used her child for the obscurity of her obsession.

"But Ma, didn't you say that if Alvin wanted to marry the woman of Mama's choice, Mama would immediately transfer 60% of Mama's company shares to Alvin? Alvin's marital development affairs with his wife, let them know. They are also not married on the basis of love. How can it grow?" Desiana who began to be provoked by emotion stared at the anxious mother-in-law with a fleeting lazy look.

"I think what Desiana said is true Ma. Mama has to keep her own promise. Besides, didn't Alvin run what Mama told you to. Alvin was willing to follow the will of Mama by marrying the woman of Mama's choice. So it's only fitting that Alvin gets what he's supposed to be entitled to"

Oma Ana momentarily fell silent, trying to digest well the words of the child and his daughter-in-law who were very matrealist. Put it on the cutlery. Ginger water that was still steaming hot, now has shrunk the steam. The hot water was seeped quietly.

Oma Ana took a deep breath to calm her heart which began to emotion with her son's useless babble that only concerned about the matter of possessions.

"alright... Tomorrow I'll have my men prepare a board transfer meeting from my stock to Alvin's" Desiana's smile immediately expands as her mother-in-law's sweet promise is about to materialize. So happy, Desiana squeezed her husband's finger which made her husband turn towards her and come smiling happily triumphantly.

"But, I'll only give up 25% of my shares. The rest I'll give up when Alvin's son is born in this world" the triumphant happy smile that had been raised by this treasure-loving husband and wife pair was immediately replaced with a sour and disappointed smile.

"My decision is absolute. Unable to be bothered" arrogantly, Oma Ana wakes up from a sitting assisted by an Art leaving her two children who are holding back disappointed.

Oma Ana walks to the back garden to enjoy the beauty of the flowers she plants and takes care of every day. Planting various flower plants is indeed an activity that he does every day. In addition to making her happy, by seeing beautiful flowers that bloom makes her heart more calm living her leg life every day.
