Annanta
Shirt Fittings

A handsome man with an athletic height got out of his car. The suit that had been attached to his body since morning was now perched on his right hand.

"Welcome, sir." A housekeeper, Bi Ijah.

"Yes." Yeah." That was the only reply from the man. Bi Ijah who is an art and worked almost 3 years in the house, understood him. That was the nature of his master, Elvano Prasetya, an untouchable cold man.

The nearly 60-year-old woman closed the door and followed her master.

"Where's Evan?" He asked, when he didn't see his son. Not usually the son was asleep at work like this.

"Young master was taken by the madam this afternoon, sir."

"Mama?" His forehead shriveled. His mother never took Evan without his permission. "Go back to work!" His orders, which Bi Ijah directly implemented.

Elvano took her steps towards the room. Throwing a suit, car keys and cell phone on the bed, then sitting on the edge of the bed.

Drrtt... Drrtt.. Drrtt...

The vibration on his phone made Elvano turn his head. His hand immediately grabbed the phone and answered it.

"Hallo, Ma?"

"Have you gone home from work?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Get Evan! Well, there's something Mama wants to talk to you about."

"Yes." Yeah." That short answer came out of Elvano's mouth. After the call ended, he grabbed his car keys and got out without changing the shirt he was wearing. At moderate speed, he drove his car towards the house of the mother.

Close enough distance, it only takes 15 minutes. The man parked his car and just walked in.

"Welcome, young master." Greet the house maid.

"Hm... Where's Mama?"

"Mrs is in the playroom, sir."

Without saying much more, Elvano segere headed for the playroom. The space that his Papa made especially for Evan.

Seeing the arrival of the Papa, Evan who played also smiled cheerfully. His hands were clapping. That made Grandma and Grandpa look at Evan.

"Pa..." Babble the boy, then crawl closer to Elvano. The man swiftly caught his son and carried him.

"Papa's son." He said, while peeking at Evan's cheek.

Devita and Haris just quietly pay attention to the interaction of Elvano and Evan. It's always like that. Evan can always make a cold guy like Elvano smile.

"Vano." Haris's call made his son look over. "So, Mama wants to talk about something."

"Yes. Just talk to me." The answer. The man then slipped his son's cheek again. His hand moved rubbing Evan's hair quite dense.

"We're just going to the living room." Devita.

They're going to the living room. Elvano sat down while holding Evan and without realizing it, the boy was already getting sleepy.

"What do you want to talk about?" Ask Elvano.

Haris and Devita stared at each other. After getting a nod to his wife, Haris began to open his voice.

"Same father Mama wants you to get married."

Elvano smiled cynically. He had guessed. This is not the first time they have asked for her to marry me.

"I don't have time for that." Answer's relaxed.

"Vano!" Haris has been provoked by his emotions. This son really made him unable to stem the anger. Fortunately, Devita was holding him back.

"Quiet, Pa." Devita said, trying to dampen her husband's anger, even though he was also equally angry at his only son.

"Mama has found her bride. Have time or not, you must stay married."

Elvano smiled again. A slanted smile that explains if he is not out of thought with the mind of his parents. Always like this. Imposing will.

"Smart Mama looking for a future wife. But baby, Vano still has no time for that unimportant thing." His work. And without saying goodbye, Elvano departed from that place.

"If you refuse, Evan's custody will go back to Mama! And don't ever think of us as your parents!"

Elvano's steps stopped. That's weakness. Evan was everything to him. If Evan's custody goes back into his mother's hands, it will be hard for him to reclaim it. And as for his parents, even though he was angry at the two, they were still his parents.

"I'm getting married. But, it won't take care of the preparations." Said the man, then hurried away from there.

Devita and Haris who heard it immediately smiled happily. Devita jumped up and hugged her husband. Haris was worried about his wife.

"Don't jump around, Ma."

"Mama's really happy, Pa. Mama's threat succeeded in silencing your cold son, too."

"He's your son too, baby."

"Hehehe... Aye." Yeah."

***

The clock still shows at 8 p.m. Elvano had just finished accompanying Evan to sleep. These last two months, the boy's always fussy when going to sleep at night. I don't know what caused it, Elvano doesn't know.

Elvano focuses on the laptop screen in front of it. Re-examine the documents sent by his secretary, Risma.

Drr... Drrtt... Drrtt...

The vibration of the phone makes Elvano take his eyes off the laptop. Take off the radiation glasses, then reach for the phone.

"Hallo, Ma."

"City, Vano. Mama has taken care of all the wedding preparations. Three more days of your wedding."

"Three days?" Beo the man. Is your mom serious? Isn't this too fast? Just last night, her mom was talking about marriage. And now, everything is ready. Only three days later the wedding was held.

"Yes. Tomorrow you go with Mama to the boutique, okay? We want your wedding dress fittings. All Mama know you with your future wife."

"Ma, isn't this too soon?"

"How fast? Never mind, you are this. My mother's invitation was ready too. Stay spread out tomorrow."

"Don't invite too many people! Enough family."

"Why?"

"This wedding, Mama will. Not me!"

"That's a condition of Vano."

Can Elvano hear the rough breathing of his mother. But, he doesn't care. He did not accept this marriage. And he did not want outsiders to witness this forced marriage.

"alright. Mama agrees to your terms. But you have to come tomorrow! If not, Evan Mama take it, and do not expect Mama to think of you as a child again." Devita said, hanging up the phone unilaterally.

"Arrghhh..." Elvano scratched her hair. His mood to check back on his work documents is gone. Get off the couch, and lay his body on the bed.

A woman's face as she closed her eyes. "If it wasn't for you, things wouldn't be like this." He murmured slowly, without opening his eyes.

***

A smile expands on Devita's face as she enters Ricky's nursery. The arrival of the woman was warmly welcomed by Anta, Tiara and Ricky.

"How are you, Ricky?"

"Ricky's getting better, Mom."

"Thank God. What about you, Tiara?"

"They're always good, ma'am, always healthy." Answer the girl.

"Thank God. Oh yeah, here, I bought it for you." The woman held out a bag of fruits that she bought to Tiara.

"Thank you, Mom." Said the girl.

Anta just smiled at Bu Devita's interaction with her two younger siblings. The woman was really good at taking Tiara and Ricky's heart. And Anta was happy to see the smiles on the faces of her two sisters.

"Oh yes, I am here also want the same permission for the two of you to bring Kak Anta. May it?"

"Take me?" Anta was quite surprised by Miss Devita's words.

"Lho's? How are you taking it now, Mom? Not for two more days, sister Anta followed her mother? Why today?" Ask Tiara. His eyes began to glaze over. He's not ready if his brother's gonna leave him and Ricky.

Ricky who heard it just fell silent. He was sad, but couldn't say anything. He knew all about the cost of his operation. Everything Anta sacrificed for him. Even the future was sacrificed for him.

"Mother just take Kak Anta for a while to find a wedding dress. After that, I brought you back here. The wedding is three days away. The day after tomorrow I'll pick you up again."

Tiara and Ricky breathed a sigh of relief. After saying goodbye to the two children, Anta and Devita immediately headed for a boutique. In the car, she just stayed quiet. Not a word came out of his mouth.

"What are you doing to shut up, son?" Devita's voice made Anta turn her head. The girl smiled at her future in-laws.

"There's no topic to talk about, ma'am."

"Aren't you curious about your future husband?" Anta shook her head slowly, making Bu Devita take her breath.

"Receive what Anta's husband will be, Mom." Said the girl. Devita was silent at the answer of her future daughter-in-law.

The car they were riding entered the boutique area. Bu Devita's driver immediately parked the car and opened the door for Devita's bu. Meanwhile, Anta, the girl opened her own car door.

A smile appeared on Devita's lips as she saw Elvano's car parked not far from where they were parked.

Apparently, the boy also came. Batin Bu Devita's.

"Come, Anta!" The woman grabs Anta's hand and brings the girl in.

"Vano."

The man who was sitting on the sofa turned to hear the mother's voice. He stood up, looking at the mother with his cold face.

"Vano is done. There's something Vano has to take care of at the office."

"You, have you tried his suit?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"You haven't met your future wife."

The man's eyes glanced at the girl standing beside Bu Devita. Anta lowered her head, not daring to look at him. He could feel it if the man didn't like him.

"I'm Elvano." Said without stalling the introductory sign.

"My-my, Anta."

"Introduction already. I have to go to the office again." Without waiting for his mother's answer, Elvano left so.

Devita looked at her son with a pushy look. He never expected his son to be like this. He wants Elvano back to what he was.

"Tante," The gentle voice of a woman made Devita turn her head. So did Anta. A beautiful woman stood before them with a sweet smile.

"Dinda," Miss Devita hugged him right away. "Why are you here? Are you not going abroad? Where's your mom?" Bu Devita asked, taking off her embrace.

"I'm not going abroad, tan. Fahri cannot. Mama again accompany Papa to meet the client. So, Dinda's taking care of the boutique."

Ms. Devita smiled and gently rubbed her hair.

"Oh yeah, introduce, this is Elvano's future wife."

Dinda smiled at Anta. He extended his hand to the girl. "Hi, I'm Dinda. Cousin Elvano."

"I'm Anta, Brother." Anta said, returning Dinda's hand and looking up at the woman.

"Pretty." Dinda muttered involuntarily, making Bu Devita smile.

"Hows it? Aunt's choice isn't to blame?"

Dinda shakes. "No, tan. Not wrong. Anta's pretty, and I think, she's nice too. It fits with my cousin." Said Dinda with so much spirit.

"Elvano tried the suit, right?" Dinda nodded. "Now, please help Anta cobain dress."

"Okay, tan." reply Dinda. "Come, Anta! Let's try the dress."

Dinda immediately pulled Anta's hand following her. They entered the dressing room. While Ms. Devita was waiting outside.

Dinda who was in one room with Anta was amazed when the wedding dress was attached to Anta's body. Even without makeup polish, Anta still looks beautiful.

"You're beautiful, Anta. Elvano should be grateful to get you." Said Dinda, who was met with a faint smile by Anta.

"Thank you, brother."

"Come, we're out! Aunt must be amazed to see your appearance."

The two women came out immediately. Devita, who had been staring at the dressing room, was amazed to see her future daughter-in-law coming out of it. Anta is really pretty with the dress she chose.

"You're so pretty, son." His word. "Dinda, wrap the dress. Don't get broken, son."

"Every aunt." The woman replied, spirit. Making Bu Devita chuckle at the sight of her bangs. And so did Anta who chuckled.
