Who is the real man?

It doesn't feel like two weeks have passed since Anna returned to her parents' house. And two days later the proposal ceremony took place at the same time determining the wedding date which fell five days from the day of the proposal.

It's been three days since the house where Anna's parents lived was busy with all the wedding preparations, they didn't have a lavish party because they were still in mourning.

And this is not a wedding full of joy like a wedding in general. But, even so, you still have to prepare as best you can.

Anna did not involve herself at all in everything that needed to be prepared, for her whatever was prepared she would accept without rejection.

Even when her father forbade her to cross a week before the wedding, she did not rebel, she decided to go with the flow. Everyone seemed concerned about Anna's change but there was nothing they could do.

Currently, Anna is enjoying the morning air from her room on the second floor, she looks up at the clear sky with thousands of thoughts drifting away. Anna reluctantly looked at the garden where people were busy decorating the garden that would be the venue for the wedding ceremony tomorrow.

Meanwhile, in another place, a luxury car stopped in front of the lobby door of a five-star hotel that reads 'ZCG HOTELS' followed by several cars that are no less luxurious behind it.

After the driver got off, he immediately opened the door for the person in the car. With a dignified movement, a man in his 80s descended, followed by a pair of middle-aged men and women who still looked handsome and beautiful even though they were not young anymore.

The hotel director and several staff stood respectfully in front of the hotel to welcome them. As a manager, Fania also welcomed the important guest.

"Welcome," said the hotel director bowing respectfully followed by the rest of the staff.

The hotel director invited the guests and then escorted them to the front of the elevator, there were several bodyguards with large postures wrapped in expensive suits and earphones in their ears ready to guard the three guests.

"You're welcome," they replied with a friendly smile and stepped into the director's special elevator. All visitors and staff in the hotel lobby trying to guess how rich they are to get a special line belonging to the director of this luxury hotel.

"Where's the bad boy, Smith?" asked the old man in his bass voice as he walked towards the elevator.

He still looks dignified even though he only wears a shirt and casual pants, he walks bravely even though he has to be helped by a cane made of beautiful maroon mahogany wood.

Fania who was following behind slightly lifted her head when she heard the voice and looked at the person being asked the question. Instantly, Fania was surprised, her eyes widened slightly when she saw the face of the man called Smith.

'Isn't this the man who came yesterday with his future Anna?' She thought.

"The boss is in his room, sir," replied Smith respectfully.

The old man only nodded slightly in response, while Smith noticed Fania's surprise.

"Have a good rest, ladies and gentlemen," said the director after escorting them in front of the elevator doors with a respectful bow while Fania looked at Smith with an incredulous face. Smith who was already in the elevator just bowed respectfully to him and pressed the elevator button to the 30th floor.

"Sir, I want to ask, who are they?" asked Fania hastily to her boss as soon as she woke up from her shock, and saw that the elevator door was closed.

"Important guests, make sure their needs are guaranteed, Fania," said the director ambiguously without explaining how important they were. After saying that he returned to his room.

"Why don't I know if they stay here," Fania muttered as she walked away from there feeling still confused.

'Ting'

There was the sound of the elevator and after the elevator door opened they immediately went out to go to the room that had been specially prepared.

"Shouldn't we meet with Ibas first?" asked the middle-aged woman named Louisa to her husband. She wanted to see the child he missed so much because they had rarely seen each other so far.

"Rest first, we will meet him at dinner tonight," replied the middle-aged man named Musa to his wife, Louisa nodded with a beautiful smile.

"If you need anything you can call me, sir," said Smith to his boss's parents as he ushered them in front of the bedroom door.

"Hmm ...," replied Musa then entered the room.

"Smith, take me to Sebastian's room," said the old man who was none other than the great master Az-Zachary, Sebastian's grandfather.

After one of the bodyguards escorted him to his room he came back out because he wanted to meet his favorite grandson.

"But …" Smith couldn't continue his words due to getting a glare from the big lord.

Smith had no other choice but to take him to meet the boss who didn't want to be bothered by anyone at this time.

After finishing dinner with the extended family at the residence of Mr. Wijaya, the four brothers/sisters consisting of Ammar, Fitra, Alya, and Fania went to a place to discuss something. The four of them are now sitting on a park bench that has been conjured so beautifully for the wedding that will take place tomorrow.

Fania said that if there was something important she wanted to tell them, about what had been bothering her since this afternoon, what she saw at the hotel where she worked, the story would flow.

Only Alya showed some reactions in response to what Fania said. Meanwhile, Ammar and Fitra became good listeners without responding, but they seemed to be thinking and digesting the whole story that Fania told.

"I thought that the man named Sebastian was not a random man, seen from his cold and mysterious demeanor."

Alya's hypothesis worked as she nodded her head, confirming her guess all along.

"Yeah …, good, that means he can take good care of our sister," Fitra replied calmly.

"Yes…, but how can Anna be able to live with such a cold person? after all, we don't know for sure the man's background." Alya objected while looking at her three siblings.

"When we will answer, the most important thing is that the man must come from a good family, as we know that he is a surgeon at the ZCG Central Hospital, everyone knows that the hospital is one of the best hospitals in the world, not just any doctor can do it. Working there, as far as I know, it is not only skills and education that are prioritized when recruiting doctors at the hospital but also a guaranteed background is an important requirement. That applies to all hospital staff and all companies under the auspices of ZCG," explained Ammar who was nodded by Fitra and Fania, "and most importantly the man was chosen by the late Fateh, our younger brother," he continued.

He insisted that there was no reason to make them hesitate. To be honest, he didn't have any doubts about the man even though he had only met him once.

"It's true what Ammar said, I also went through a very difficult selection at that time. ZCG was very selective in recruiting workers," said Fania confirming Ammar's statement.

She remembers that everything related to 'ZCG' must be perfect, no wonder the company is booming and has great success in various countries.

"So, you mean, seedlings, the weight of the man is guaranteed, then?" Alya asked the two of them, both of whom immediately nodded.

"Besides, if he doesn't have a clear background, how could the deceased entrust Anna to him, Al," Fitra said to Alya. Alya confirmed it in her heart.

'Fateh always gives the best for Anna.' Alya thought.

"Why don't you try to find out his background? So, we know who he is," asked Alya again who was still not satisfied.

"He will become part of our family, is it polite if we find out secretly?" asked Ammar with a statement, and it made Alya's lips swell because she felt that what her brother said was true.

"If you're still curious, we'll meet him, family tomorrow, after that I'm sure you won't hesitate anymore," continued Ammar while gently ruffling Alya's hair which made Alya even more annoyed because she was treated like a child.

Seeing Alya's annoyance made the three of them laugh lightly then they changed the topic of discussion to refresh their minds.

"Honey, can mom and dad come in?" asked a soft voice from outside as she knocked on Anna's door. It was Lusi's voice who had come with her husband to see Anna's condition.

'Check'

There was the sound of the door opening even though the occupants did not answer. After opening the door, Anna made room for her parents to come in.

After entering Anna's room, they could feel the room was so cold that it seemed uninhabited, even Anna didn't even take out her clothes that were in the suitcase, since two weeks ago. Their hearts hurt to see that.

Anna seemed to confirm that this house was no longer her home.
