Chapter 1 Ariella
It was the summer season, the period when farmers are filled with great joy because they get to harvest what they sow. happiness rules their hearts with the certainty of accomplishing their goals. and they are sure of satisfaction with at least half of what they have planned since they start farming.
In a small town, the old man John, the owner of a big agriculture company and enough stores for the production of crops, was seen busy counting the income he collected that morning. just this morning he had collected a large amount of money and ordered a young man to take it to the Bank. the young man is his second son, his name is Alfin. while his first son was seen at one table counting the loads entering the stop in a different building. The place is an area that was not busy all the time but because it was the harvest season there were a lot of people gathering in those areas.
different cars entered and they arrived and took the crops of rice, peanuts, maize and others and then left with them towards the city. there was only one normal car that entered the area and then stopped. It was a very different and unique car, except for the many lorries that came to fill with crops. It was a family car, not a passenger car for the beauty and uniqueness that went with it.
Elder John raised his eyes with a big smile after removing his glasses from his eyes, he slowly moved to the front of the car and showed the place where the car was parked, a little far from the area where old John's machines were.
After all the doors of the car opened, five men appeared in one swoop. two men were adults of old John's age, although one seemed to be bigger than old John and his companion. and two were young men about 28 to 30 years old. Just by looking at them, you would realize that there were fathers and their children. another man was very old and surpassed all the other people.
"I can't believe that today Mr Badru has stepped on our land with his young men and his younger brother," old John spoke after shaking hands with the older man.
"There was a necessity John. it has been many years without seeing each other for 10 years now until I have forgotten the land, that is, I can't believe that things have become this good," said the man known as Rashid Badru.
"How are you Mr. John" a man greeted old John, he was identified as Yusuph Badru. old John responded to him. then the young man also introduced himself as "Maksim Badru, the son of Yusuph Badru" old John responded while congratulating Yusuph and telling him. "Now you have grown up Yusuph, soon you will be called a grandfather now" Yusuph smiled happily to indicate that very normal action.
The other young man was silent the whole time until he was told to greet the old man John with discipline. he did so, although he didn't seem very happy.
"Nowadays Duncan has become a man. handsome and calm, but his calmness is unusual, he wasn't like this in the beginning" said old John. all the people remained silent, no one contributed to the argument.
old man John without hypocrisy left all his activities and took the guests to his house. old man John grew up with a lot of money in the village, so his house was very special, even though it was in the village, it was a very nice place.
when they arrived home he welcomed his guests, his wife also arrived and gave a smile after seeing the unexpected guest. She seemed to be familiar with two men including Duncan whom he called Aunty.
The mother entered the room with her husband and they started talking.
"Have you already talked to your daughter about this day? I want to know how she responded to my wife" The woman with a gap between her teeth, lacked a good answer to give to her husband and found herself holding her cheek and then spoke. "As you know your daughter ARIELLA, do you think it would be easy, I have decided to keep quiet until she sees them first and then I will explain to her about the issue of marrying Duncan ".

It is inside the village of Masasani, at noon in the afternoon at a restaurant, many men and many young people crowded to get food. the food at the restaurant was a little expensive, unlike other restaurants, but still, the customers flooded and got food in that restaurant. there was a girl who seemed to be busy with recipes, she caught her spoon well while turning the pilau in the pot. A woman came to her and said.
"Ariella, mother has asked do you at home" The woman after speaking ordered the other two daughters in the kitchen to continue their work.
"but how do we leave sister-in-law when the business is about to get hot?" answered Ariella. with a beautiful face and chocolate colour, she wore a scarf on her head to cover her hair. in short, she is very, very beautiful.
"no Ariel, it has never happened that Mother needed you like this. it will be an emergency, hurry up" Her older brother's wife stopped her from continuing her activities after taking away all the notions of work and then she took her hand and left with her.
ARIELLA agreed to leave but her heart was not completely satisfied to leave and quit her job, because that was a good time for business, because of her sister-in-law she insisted that she had no choice but to agree to be with her.
while they were on the way, they reached the machine area and saw her older brother, ARIELLA looked at her sister-in-law and then told her. "Sister in law go ahead, give me just five minutes, it's been a long time since I saw my big brother, and I don't know when he arrived here from the city, I'm coming" Her Sister in law looked at her and thought to reject her, but it was as if ARIELLA understood her Sister in law's thoughts and quickly told her.
"no sister in law, It won't be long, please" Her sister-in-law had no choice but to accept and let her go to talk to her brother.
When her sister-in-law arrived home, she was shocked after meeting guests she greeted them while regretting leaving Ariella behind. She entered the kitchen when her mother-in-law arrived with another girl, who is the wife of Ariella's younger brother.
"Mom, I am sorry, I left Ariella behind," she said sadly with pity in her eyes.
"What have you done now, I don't even understand what Ariel will look like when she arrives. I understand well that the girl will embarrass us in front of the guests only on the first day" Her mother was filled with sadness, then she quickly ordered her in-laws to prepare food for the guests. At the dinner table, old John and the guests were talking happily while reminiscing about the old times with each other but Duncan was silent the whole time.
After the meal, the adults sat in the living room to talk about the main thing that brought them there. Duncan agreed with everything that was discussed, after a lot of conversation, Duncan asked to go out immediately because he had an important call on the phone, so the younger daughter-in-law of old man John had to show him where to go so that he could have privacy.
at that time, Ariella was returning home very tired after spending a lot of time in the machine, the dust of the rice that was being cleaned ended up on her, so she was afraid to go inside directly, so he had to go through the back door to clean herself so she could go inside. when she reached the water tank, she opened the faucet and started washing her hands before she heard the sound of someone coughing. mmhh, she cancelled the first wash, so she had to look behind the tank, 'who will that be?'.
while she was peeking, the man behind the tank also got the idea to peek and their eyes met. Duncan was most disgusted by the look of that very dirty girl, he turned pale from the dust of flour and rice, so he did not see her face well and quickly turned away. Ariella wasn't bothered by this, she simply asked
