The Prettiest Woman

Sergio Nino Alfredo had to accept his father's decision to disapprove of Nino's romantic relationship with Regina Pauline, a 20-year-old woman from a small village in West Java.

Their meeting occurred when Nino visited the village to expand his father's plantation business there. Nino was forced to live in a resident's house with several of Mr. Juan's employees.

It's been a month since Nino lived there while

approached the local people, so that they would sell their land and house to turn it into a strawberry plantation in an area that was still very beautiful.

Some of the residents finally agreed to sell their land and houses on the condition that Nino and his father had to compensate the people three times over.

After meeting his father in the village, Nino also paid compensation according to their terms and demands, even among the residents there were those who were used as workers by Mr. Juan Roberto Alfredo in another city.

During his stay in the village, Nino got acquainted with many beautiful and charming village women. Nino's friendly, kind, attractive, and good at seducing nature, made anyone who knew him immediately liked and fell in love with this Mexican-Indonesian man.

Although he was forced to live in a resident's house because he was not used to staying in a simple place, but that's where he found his love. A few months after breaking up with his ex-lover, his heart was quite comforted when he was close to a woman who is innocent, beautiful, and had her own charm.

Unfortunately, Nino's father didn't know about their relationship until Nino introduced Regina as his lover and intended to marry an innocent woman, whose house had been bought by Juan.

"Dad, this is Regina. The prettiest woman from the village where I lived for a month there," said Nino in front of his mother and father.

"Hmm ... she is very beautiful, Nino. It seems she is suitable to be your wife," replied Nino's mother.

"Thank you, Mom. I really want to marry Regina as soon as possible, how about it?" asked Nino hoping to get the blessing of his parents.

"Juan, how about it? Do you agree with Nino's choice or not?" asked Triana, Nino's mother.

"Nino, you should wait for your brother and sister to come home first, when they come home then we will talk about this again," said Mr. Juan.

"Yes, Dad. I agree, then I want to take Regina for a walk around the complex first, so that later she gets used to living here," Nino was sure that his father would approve of their relationship.

"I am coming with you, Nino. Since your sister got married, Mom doesn't have a friend to talk to, maybe your girlfriend can be a fun chat buddy," said Nino's mother, looking at Regina's face.

The woman felt awkward when Triana stared at her, she didn't know what to do with Nino's mother. Regina was also very quiet and introverted, besides she was not used to talking to people who were far above Regina's rank.

"Mom, Regina definitely wants to be a friend to talk to you. Well, let's go for a walk outside while looking for special Jakarta food for Regina," said Nino happily.

"I'll be out for a while. At least, I'll be back in half an hour," Triana asked permission to go out with Nino and Regina to Juan.

"It's okay, Triana," Nino's father didn't seem to like it when his wife was around the woman.

"Alright. Let's go first," said Nino smiled widely.

Nino, Triana, and Regina took advantage of a sunny Saturday afternoon in the East Jakarta area, to take a walk around the housing complex and get to know each other better.

Their joy and excitement would not last long as Juan already disliked Nino's relationship with Regina.

"That kid ... why did he fall in love with a country girl? Nino was never a professional at work, he always was," Sinatriya muttered as he watched the three of them walked towards the gate of the house.

Sinatriya planned to instigate Carla and Esperanza, so that the two Nino's sisters hated Regina who was both innocent and humble.

Triana really liked Regina as she chatted with her along the streets of the Fuchsia Regency housing complex, while Nino was left alone behind them.

Triana didn't even give Nino a chance to chat with Regina because she knew that if Nino was a great seducer. Triana didn't want Regina to get into serious trouble before their wedding took place.

"Regina, when you get married to Nino, do you still want to work or not?" asked Triana softly.

"Ehm, I want--"

"She still wants to work, Mom. Of course, she works at our company, but not where she comes from," Nino suddenly interrupted.

"By the way, how many siblings do you have, Gina?" Triana asked again without paying attention to Nino's words.

"I have five siblings, Auntie," She stammered nervously.

"Gina, you wait a moment. I want to buy it first," said Triana, pointing to the Jakarta's food seller behind the complex.

"Yes, Auntie."

"No,do you want to eat that food too?" offered his mother.

"Yes, I want. Gin, you also eat, okay?" Nino persuaded his lover who seemed reluctant to Triana.

Regina nodded at Nino, the handsome man who had chosen her as her lover among Regina's friends in the village.

Regina Wijaya did not come to Jakarta only with Nino, but all her family also went there to become workers on Juan's company.

That way Nino could meet Regina at the hotel every day because for a while Regina's family was placed in a luxurious hotel near Fuchsia Regency by Nino himself.

Bryan Airlangga is the owner of the hotel that Regina occupied with her parents and four unmarried siblings. Bryan is Nino's college friend, they were best friends and often hang out in cafes or just had a drink at the bar.

Sergio Nino Alfredo, a 31 year old. He is handsome, intelligent, tall, dashing, and athletic man. Kind, charming, and also a playboy, there is no difference with Bryan.

Nino was indeed a playboy, but after meeting Regina his playboy nature gradually diminishes. He made up his mind only for Regina, and even wanted to get married soon, so he wouldn't fall into the temptation that Bryan always offered to Nino.

Especially wanting to forget about Anna, Nino's ex-lover who turned out to be close to Bryan. Anna Martinez, a Chilean woman who had a relationship with Nino while visiting her aunt there and managed her father's winery for two months.

After years of being in a relationship, they finally broke up due to Nino's infidelity. After the relationship ended, Anna again looked for Nino and chased him all the way to Indonesia.

Before meeting Regina, Nino was indeed close to his own father's staff and then broke up in the middle of the road because Juan did not approve of Nino and Scarlett Wiranata's relationship.
