The Line of Destiny Iriana
The arrival of Taomasa

Iriana was relieved because during this day she did not even meet the man who always bothered her.

William himself was so busy with his work that there was no time to disturb the woman he often called the little Devil.

The afternoon has now changed Night, the peak event of the annual party this time closed with an auction event of rare items at fantastic prices.

Later the money collected will be donated to orphanages and schools in various countries, indirectly this auction event can be said to be a charity event.

An Afslager or auction guide is now standing on the stage, in front of him there are dozens of successful business people who are impatient to compete for the highest price for rare items they want.

As well as Iriana, the girl hopes to find a suitable item as a seventy-five-year Taomasa birthday gift that will be held exactly a month away.

" Well before this event I begin let's welcome in advance the special guest and owner of the yacht that is currently taking us sailing the ocean, Mr. William Anderson!" Afslager's speech was followed by the sound of applause from the guests present.

All eyes were on William who was walking gallantly towards his seat which was in the front row, next to him was a beautiful woman who was walking very elegantly.

Behind William of course there is Kendrick who always faithfully follows wherever his Master goes.

" Cih a matching couple." Iriana stared at the cynical William with both hands folded in front of her chest.

Victor just sat quietly beside Iriana, their seat was behind William by a margin of two rows.

Until the event began one by one goods began to be issued for auction.

" 355 Billion." Iriana lifts her auction number when Afslager opens the price for an ancient dagger that is claimed to be a dagger of ancient Egyptian royal heritage.

" 358 billion." said another guest.

" 365 billion." Iriana Sahut no longer want to lose.

" 365 billion by Miss Iriana, does anyone still want to bid more?" afslager said when a few seconds of silence occurred.

" 379 billion." Now it was William's turn to raise his number when he found out that Iriana dared to raise the price higher than the previous offer.

Iriana's sharp gaze lay on Wiliam who was looking at him with a cynical smile.

" I can't lose to him, I have to get that dagger!" iriana murmured in heart.

" 382 billion." said Leonard who was not initially interested now began to be tempted to enter into the competition of Iriana and William.

" 389 billion." Again William offered a much higher price than Leonard.

" Do you really want that dagger? if I did I'd get it for you." Victor said when he saw Iriana speechless while biting her lower lip.

" I have to buy it with my own money for Grandpa." looked Iriana. Victor's head nodded in understanding.

" 395 billion." Rose again while the other guests were already whispering to each other about the fierce rivalry between William, Iriana and Leonard just for an ancient dagger.

" 450 Billion!" william's reply made Iriana lose this time because the price that the man gave was no joke.

" 450 billion one, 450 billion two, 450 billion three." Afslager starts counting after no more offers from other guests.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

The sound of wood being tapped with a hammer three times sounded.

" This ancient dagger has finally been won by Mr. William for 450 billion, Congratulations to you, Mr. Afslager said, followed by a boisterous applause.

" I'll still get it." Lirih Iriana with a sly smile.

Let it be that this time William has that dagger for a while.

" The next item is a beautiful necklace inlaid with a very charming pure diamond, this necklace is open at a price of 400 billion." afslager continued when a committee pushed a trolley on which there was a glass box containing a diamond necklace.

" 600 billion." Without further ado William immediately raised his number and bid at an instantly high price.

He did not want to be too wordy and make deals with others, however he had to get the necklace.

And sure enough no other guest dared to bid at a higher price.

" 650 billion." Victor made Iriana's eyes growl and immediately turned to the man beside her.

" Victor, why are you spending your money on a necklace? don't tell me you want to wear it?" ask Iriana in disbelief.

" That's for you." replied Victor flatly.

Victor's head nodded briefly with a faint smile. " I've never given you a special gift" said Victor.

" You're crazy! Special gifts don't have to be that expensive stupid!" Maria paused her words for a moment. " For me a gift from you and the other friends is always Vic's special." Iriana's head shook with a faint smile on her lips.

Victor was always able to warm his heart making him feel what it was like to have an older brother.

Yes Big Brother because all this time Iriana considers Victor as her older brother and Iriana very fond of Victor and vice versa.

William smiled grinningly at the interaction of the two, although he did not hear clearly what the conversation of Iriana and Victor was but from their chatter, William was already very confident that Victor would give the necklace to Iriana and he would not let it happen.

" 740 billion" said William.

" Enough Vic! I don't want that necklace you'll give me enough warm chocolate milk when we get back." Prevent Iriana when Victor wants to pick up her number again.

A few moments quiet. Until the sound of Afslager was heard breaking the silence.

" 740 billion one, 740 billion two, 740 billion"

" 800 billion." The heavy sound of someone cutting off the words of Afslager that began to count.

Everyone without exception turned their heads towards the source of the voice coming from the entrance, seen a man with a wooden stick in his hand walking full of Wibawa with a very powerful aura dominating.

" Grandpa!" iriana's strangulation was restrained when she saw Taomasa walking in followed by Justin behind her.

The two men of different ages were getting closer to Afslager.

" Tu-Master Taomasa? welcome sir, what a surprise to all of us is that a legendary businessman is coming to the summit of this annual feast." Afslager.

After a short chat Taomasa and Justin immediately sat in the chair that had just been provided by the committee.

The show is back on. Again William bid a higher price than Taomasa.

" 850 billion." William bargained.

Ever since Taomasa's arrival a terrible expression was clearly drawn on the handsome face of the man.

" 950 billion." really two very stubborn men who didn't want to budge, that's a title worth pinning for Taomasa and William.

The fierce competition between them can be felt by all the guests present, even now Afslager's body has been cold sweat facing two men who are very influential in the business world.

The two men who both have the largest business empire.

" 1 trillion." Barat William who eventually became the winner of the diamond necklace. Because Taomasa no longer offers prices above that.

All the goods have now been exhausted at auction, the funds collected reached trillions, Taomasa also donated his money for free without getting the auction.

After the show finished Taomasa and Justin immediately met with Iriana and Victor.

" Grandpa." Iriana hugged Taomasa's body tightly.

" Are you okay?" Taomasa gently stroked her grandson's hair.

Iriana just nodded in Taomasa's embrace then after being satisfied the girl broke her embrace.

" Grandpa why wear a stick? is Grandpa sick?" ask Iriana worried.

The corner of Taomasa's lips lifted, "Grandpa is fine, be prepared you will come home with Grandpa tonight too!" The word Taomasa is firm without wanting to be disputed.

" Hmm like here is also very boring, then Ana went back to the cabin first to change clothes and take a cell phone ya." Pamit Iriana then kissed Taomasa's cheek.

" Let me be with you." Victor.

" There's no need for you to stay here with Grandpa and Uncle Justin." Iriana refused and left immediately.

" Let's not let Ana know about my current health condition." Pinta Taomasa to Victor and Justin, his eyes focused on looking at Iriana's back that was getting away.

After feeling that her body was better, Taomasa decided to follow up and bring her granddaughter home, so that Iriana would be spared from William and Leonard.

Indeed Taomasa did not hate William only he did not want if Adriana stuck deeper relationship with the favorite grandson of his best friend who died a few years ago.
