Angel For Thugs
Dinner

Aliyah met Jack at the restaurant. Aliyah told Jack about the match.

"Jack has something I want to say, it's important" Aliyah said after eating.

"yes Lia? what's up?" ask Jack

"not here Jack" said Lia

"hem.ayo we find a comfortable seat" said Jack

The two went from the restaurant to the city park. Aliyah and Jack walk the night road enjoying the cool breeze in the park.

Aliyah finally told Jack about the match. Jack's reaction was shocked.

"what!!? no Aliyah, no" said Jack

"i also don't want this matchmaking to happen Jack" Aliyah said

"Aliyah.me..what should I do Aliyah?" jack panicked

"Jack.you have to meet my father, and ask for his blessing" said Lia

"i'll do it for you whatever Aliyah is" Jack said.

Jack fell silent and thought it was time he told Aliyah who he really was.

"Aliyah.I also want to say something" said Jack.

Aliyah looked at Jack and listened to Jack.

"as I said now I've been living with my biological father Lia, he's Tomo Albintara" Jack said

Aliyah was like no stranger to the name, yes Aliyah was long living in Jakarta and most importantly that her future sister-in-law was Elang Albintara

"wait, like I know that name Jack..The albintara?

"Albintara Family? it was his family Mas Elang" said Aliyah remembering it

"Aliyah.You know the Eagle? he's my brother Aliyah" said Jack who was also shocked.

"i know Jack, because the Eagle was the future husband of Nisa's brother Jack, and my family also know Om Tomo and Oma Elva" said Aliyah still surprised

"you.are the son of Tomo?" ask Aliyah

"iya Lia.I'm Tomo's last child from his second wife, papa's first wife is Eagle's mother, but they are now gone" said Jack.

"why didn't you tell me from the beginning?" ask Aliyah

"i'm sorry Aliyah.honestly, it's been a very difficult start for me" said Jack, feeling sorry.

"yes it's Jack, the important thing is now that you're honest with me" said Aliyah.

"i'll tell my mom and dad Aliyah, I'm really serious about you, I don't want to lose you" Jack said.

"i'll also talk to my parents Jack" Aliyah said

The next day Jack talked the matter over to papa and mama, that he wanted to get serious and proposed to Aliyah. Jack told me who Aliyah was, her family and everything.

Jack, mom and dad sit down at Maja eat, all three finish breakfast.

"applying girl? who?" tomo said in shock

"Aliya?" mom guessed

"yes ma, pa..Aliyah" said Jack

after Jack told the family Aliyah papa was very surprised.

"what?!! the son of Ustad Bakhri and Rani? Anika? so that family again?" tomo said in shock and such annoyance

"why pa? why is papa's reaction so" asked Jack

"Jeffery..Your brother Eagle, was almost the daughter-in-law of the family, but, since fate says another marriage is void, and what makes papa angry and upset at them is, they blame the Eagle for all the events that happened to Anisa, Rani said that their child was admitted to the mental hospital because of the Eagle, how papa was not angry with them" said Tomo.

"pa.. it is the past, and it has nothing to do with me and Aliyah pa, pa I beg you to meet them for my sake pa.maa.." Jack started to whine.

"pa..papa promised!!" said Jack

"papa must fulfill papa's promise, or I will not fulfill my promise to papa" Jack threatened.

"okay ok.papa will meet them, but if they refuse, papa will not want to anymore" said Tomo firmly.

The test of love is heavy for Aliyah and Jack, yes.perihal soul mate who can manage, some come easily and some with obstacles. Some come quickly, some come slowly. That's how no one knows.

Tonight Jack's family came to Aliyah's house. Umi was really shocked at him, umi was very unexpected that Jack was not an ordinary market thug. The two families sat in the living room, and began a conversation.

"coincidentally quite funny, the market thug turned out to be the son of a rich man who used to be almost my besan" said Umi slowly with a soft tone, lucky jack's family did not hear.

"so we came here to propose to Mr. Bakhri's son and Mr. Rani's mother, Aliyah to our son Jeffry" Tomo said

I don't know what to say. Umi spoke straight away.

"sorry, but Aliyah has been betrothed by others, so in vain Mr. Tomo and his family came here" said Umi

"mi..Aliyah does not want to marry Fero mi" said Aliyah.

"aunty.I promise to be a good husband to Aliyah, om.tante.I beg you, for the happiness of Aliyah" said Jack.

"you won't understand what Aliyah's future husband looks like, she's 100x better than you, and Aliyah can't marry anyone other than Fero" she said

"umi.ini can be said again, pity Aliyah she does not want to marry Fero, do not be forced" said the father

"father silent. Sorry, Mr. Tomo and Ms. Juita, I sacrificed enough for Anisa, I am very sorry for my decision, and now I will not fulfill Aliyah's request to marry her father's son" said Umi

Hearing that all the tomos so could not stand it and were fed up, tomo decided to leave feeling annoyed

"well, we're leaving, and I'm honestly grateful I didn't get any message from this family, excuse me" Tomo said, taking Jack and Juita out.
