"Grandma hopes you can quickly decide to get engaged. Axelle, your age is enough to get married, son. Didn't you see Dava, your sister was even married to you. Your sister Clarinta will soon follow. You will be left behind when you are the oldest of all grandmas" said grandma Delila in her soft voice.
Evelyn held back her laughter until she who had just gulped down a drink coughed. Axelle stared fiercely at the beautiful woman, he was sure that Evelyn coughed because she wanted to laugh at him. Evidenced by his reddened face and the watery end of his eyes.
Evelyn then throws a sweet smile, in front of the future grandmother-in-law she will put on an elegant female appearance and a good daughter-in-law grandchild so that the step towards the law is easier.
"Ev, are you okay, son?" ask grandma Delila.
Evelyn nodded, "I'm fine grandma, just that I was too excited to finish this meal so I choked a little. But I'm okay!" evelyn answered with a sweet smile at the grandma of Delila.
If Grandma smiled at Evelyn then it was inversely proportional to Axelle who actually looked flat at him. Evelyn did not care at all about Axelle's cold or arrogant attitude because she believed this perfect man was her soul mate. If not through the hand of God, then through the hand of the grandma Delilah.
Axelle's charm has indeed made him fall in love so Evelyn is always challenged to be able to conquer the heart of this cold man. Evelyn had a circle of friends with many handsome and well-established men, many who were about to propose to her but Evelyn always avoided. He is not interested in them at all and when he meets Axelle for the first time in the Farezta family office, he is immediately fascinated and intends to make this man as his soul mate.
Especially after Axelle managed to take the first kiss from her, Evelyn was increasingly determined to make Axelle her husband. In Evelyn's life, she was principled that the man who would be her husband was the man who first took her kiss and it was Axelle, the man she liked.
Living in a big city and studying for years abroad, Evelyn was still able to take care of herself until Axelle finally managed to touch her lips as well as her heart.
Evelyn initially refused when her mother told her she would be betrothed to the son of the Farezta family. He refused at that time because to marry he was not ready. In fact, he had prepared himself to take an S-3 education in Europe. But after he was forced to meet the man he was betrothed to, Evelyn's heart immediately skipped a beat, even he almost lost focus as he looked at the handsome man's face and touched his hands when they became acquainted.
Fortunately, he was still able to control himself. He could read that Axelle was not at all interested in this matchmaking. Evelyn felt challenged because all this time she always refused and this time it was precisely she who was rejected. Not about ambition or obsession, Evelyn is indeed in love with this man who is said to be single.
"How's Axelle? Are you ready to get engaged to Evelyn?" tanya grandma broke Evelyn's daydream.
Answer yes please!
Axelle looked at Grandma Delila with a hard to interpret gaze. There was rejection and also a sense of unbearability on his face. If he refused then he was afraid of making grandma disappointed. But if he agreed, would he be able to live life with Evelyn–a woman who is not in his heart and always pisses him off?
Axelle was silent thinking hard, he occasionally looked at Evelyn.
Her face is very pretty even though I prefer Nurul's cute face. She looks elegant even though I prefer to see Nurul who looks what she is. Moreover, the attitude of the menu thickens it, am I capable? I wouldn't get old at an early age, would I?
"Axelle, are you thinking about your beloved Nurul?" tanya grandma who immediately made Axelle flinch while Evelyn was shocked amazing.
Evelyn does know if Axelle has a lover but if it's Nurul, is Nurul the same as Alvaro's lover?
"Grandma, why bring Nurul in this matter?" axelle said with a tone of voice that was put down.
Grandma only smiled faintly, she knew very well once she mentioned Nurul's name, Axelle's eyes immediately changed. He knew his granddaughter still loved Nurul and he also knew that only she was in Axelle's heart. But since the incident at the hospital, Grandma never again saw Axelle holding Nurul. More precisely Axelle who has rarely stayed at the main house.
"You can't be with her, Axelle. You're a single man, you should be looking for a woman to be a wife like Evelyn. What is his lack? Beautiful, highly educated, well-respected family and for sure she is still single. While Nurul, she is a single woman but she has children out of wedlock. Grandma doesn't want you to make her a wife and ruin our family's reputation!" said the grandma who finally let out his heart all this time that he always pendam to Axelle.
"Grandmas!" jolt Axelle until the grandma of Delila and Evelyn flinched.
"I'm sorry, but grandma don't talk like that. In any case, we'll be talking to the Emrick family soon. Clarinta and Danish are getting married and next month they will be engaged. Please don't be that grandma," Axelle said, he actually felt guilty for yelling at Delila's grandma.
Axelle will always be, for some reason, she dislikes hearing someone say bad things about Nurul. Axelle's heart ached, like her being treated badly when it came to Nurul.
"Enough. Our conversation is over. Grandma is looking forward to your engagement date. If you can get married after Clarinta then you are married. Grandma did not accept rejection!" firmly the old woman who still looked beautiful.
Evelyn took her seat. Axelle and grandma looked in wonder at the woman who had been quiet before, and now her face turned red.
"Sorry grandma, I didn't mean to be rude to grandma. But from then on I just kept listening here, no one wants to ask my opinion. I'm Evelyn Mahesa, can't you see and think about my feelings? I have a right to speak, too, right? I also refused this match! I can't be with a man who doesn't want me. After all I am not bad and very selling in the market. Many rich and handsome men lined up regularly to propose to me. And I couldn't possibly waste my whole life time being with her" Evelyn pointed to Axelle, "I refused too! I don't want to marry a man who doesn't want me. You think I'm not doing well and I'm losing my charm so you're acting like this?"
"And you're Mr. Daniyal Axelle Farezta, don't think you're the perfect man. Don't even think that I'm your beggar of love. Wasn't it! I'm Evelyn Prayoga Mahesa, a man like you I can get anywhere. I think our conversation is quite so and thank you for this insult Mr and Mrs Farezta. Excuse me and this matchmaking is cancelled!"
Axelle and Grandma Delila gasped at Evelyn's words just now. Both of them did not expect Evelyn to refuse and say that, what an ironic insinuation.
"Evelyn, don't talk like that, son. Forgive us, grandma didn't mean–"
"It's okay grandma. Don't worry, I'm not angry and not heartbroken. There is, this grandma arrogant granddaughter who will later regret for rejecting an Evelyn Prayoga Mahesa! Excuse me, I have to go back to Jakarta immediately" Evelyn said.
Elegantly Evelyn walked away from the dining table at the Farezta family residence. Not in the dining room, but in the greenhouse where many beautiful, rare and expensive plants belong to the grandma and mommy Axelle. Grandma deliberately asked the housekeeper to prepare their breakfast here so that the atmosphere is more comfortable and romantic.
"Evelyn wait. I'm sorry and let's talk about our engagement. When are you gonna be ready for me to apply?" axelle said immediately. Suddenly he felt uneasy when Evelyn rejected him.
Yess .. hahaha, my strategy is expensive and rejecting it is the best idea. I'm sure this method will work. And see, he wants to propose to me. Huaaa .. I'm really happy. Otw is the wife of my heart. How lucky I am!
