As pretty as a Butterfly
Chapter 23. Michael proposed to Floren

"Alright I'll propose to you in front of our family, but on one condition. You have to delete and also cancel your intention to spread the video to the internet" Michael said.

Floren nodded. "Alright I'll remove it, but after you propose to me in front of my family."

Michael took a breath and tried to hold back his anger. "okay!" michael then turned his face away from Floren.

Floren smiled happily at this, he pulled Michael's chin to look at him again.

"Mike, don't look at me like that. It's all your fault Mike and that Ugly, you're forcing me to do this. You shouldn't have turned me down at that time, you should have paid more attention to me than that lowly ugly girl, too" Floren retorted spoiledly on Michael's body.

Michael smiled thinly and then took Floren's hand off his body and began to insinuate Floren for not looking at himself.

"I didn't expect it to turn out that there are shameless women like you. I think you're the one who's inferior to him, you dare to seduce and also flirt with men in public. Using various tricks and lowly tricks to attract my attention even have the heart to trap and use my weaknesses to fulfill your ambitions."

Floren drew a smile. "Well, are you angry because I wronged and also called out the Ugly, huh? ... Mike don't equate me with him, because he's different levels to me. She was just a lowly poor girl with no status and also an unclear background. Whether she's from a good family or not, her sick mother may be due to her bad past."

Michael grew furious and gripped both shoulders Floren to grimace. "He's better than you, you're nothing compared to him. If I have to choose between you or her, then I'll choose her Flo!"

Floren clucked in annoyance. "You're this ... on what grounds defend that despicable girl huh! She doesn't deserve your attention at all because she's just a poor, ugly-faced girl. He just hasn't shown his real face to you, Mike, he could be worse than me."

"It's up to you to tell me what, but remember this is Floren. I agreed to this relationship all because of coercion from you, not from my heart. So be kind to me, or at least keep your word. Otherwise I wouldn't hesitate to be rude to you!" said Michael.

Michael takes off his grip and turns to leave Floren and return to his family who are still waiting for them to return to the table to eat.

"Mike, you'll accept the consequences. You're a crazy person if you don't accept me!" floren shouted, but Michael continued walking unresponsive to Floren's insulting words.

At the dining table.

Both of Michael's parents were waiting for his son with a hint of anxiety.

"Where they go, baby, why so long. What are they talking about? Honey I'm so worried about Michael, what's wrong with him today. She seemed very upset, "Mrs Caca wondered.

Seeing his wife very anxious, Mr. Nael tried to calm his wife. "There's no need to worry, baby, maybe they're just discussing the problem of young people today. Calm down, they'll be back soon, too."

Madame Caca sighed and tried to calm down, then nodded while looking at her husband's smiling face to her.

Meanwhile, Madam Berta and her husband just smiled, they whispered about something.

"I'm sure Floren will succeed" said Mrs Berta.

"She must have succeeded because she was my daughter. Wijaksana Princess who always gets whatever we want," replied Mr. Wijaksana.

They smiled smirk, then pretended to calm Mrs Caca down.

"Which your husband said is right, Madame Caca, they young people must be solving young people's problems. You guys calm down we better sit down and wait for them to come back here" said Mrs Berta.

"Alright Mrs Berta" replied Mrs Caca, though her heart was a little hesitant.

***

Moments later Michael and Floren have returned with each other.

"Mir ... I hope you remember your promise, and I will keep my promise" Floren whispered to Michael's ear, smiling and approaching the family.

Michael did not budge, he was just trying to cover up his frustration in front of his parents.

"Michael, where have you been?" mrs Caca stood up and rubbed her son's shoulder.

"We're out looking for some fresh air Auntie," Serobot Floren answered Mrs Caca's question and sat back down next to her mother.

"Darling, tell Mamy your problem. Don't be so moody."

Michael looked at his mother's anxious face, then tried to smile. "No Mamy, I'm just tired."

"You're tired, how about we go home now. Mamy will tell them to come home soon" Mrs Caca said, speaking to Mrs Berta.

"Mrs Berta, my son says she's tired. We have to go home soon, after all it's night and tomorrow he has to go to college. Your business dealings with our family can continue tomorrow."

Lady Caca then spoke to her husband. "Darling, we're going home now."

Master Nael nodded then spoke to Master Wijaksana. "Alright Mr. Wijaksana, my wife is right. Business affairs can be continued tomorrow and next time we will invite you to eat together."

Floren stared intently at Michael, then stood up and forbade Michael's family to leave. "Sorry Aunt ... Om ... Don't you want to hear Mike's words? why did we leave so long ago."

Floren adjusted his breathing because of the emotion of seeing Michael who was silent. "Mike, I hope you remember your promise."

"What promise, honey, what do you promise Floren?" ask Mrs Caca.

"Right Floren, what did Michael promise you? answer Michael. Did you hurt him?" ask Mrs Berta to urge Michael.

"I-i ...." Michael fell silent, his tongue suddenly heavy. He clenched his hand tightly.

Floren nodded impatiently waiting for a remark from Michael, then he immediately said what Michael had to say.

"Np ... Aunt ... Looks like Mike was embarrassed to tell you, ", Floren said, staring at Michael's silent family.

"What do you mean Floren, why is Michael ashamed?" ask Mrs Berta to her daughter.

Floren smiled as he grabbed his mother's hand and said, "Yes Mami, Mike."

Michael stiffened, he stared intently at Floren as he widened both eyes. He clenched his hands stronger than before.

Madam Berta smiled widely and cheered in excitement, then looked at the two Michael parents who were silent in shock hearing it all.

"Is that true, baby? Did Michael propose to you earlier." Floren nodded and hugged his mother.

Madam and Mr. Nael looked at his son then asked Michael. "Is that true, baby?" ask Mr. Nael.

Michael nodded slowly then looked at his two unbelieving parents.

"Is it really coming out of your heart?" ask Mrs Caca back.

Michael took a breath and grabbed his mother's hands. "Mrs ... Daddy ... Believe me, what I'm doing is for the good of our family" Michael replies, then gazes at the Floren family.

"Np ... Aunt ... I'm Michael Chandra Son proposed to your daughter Floren Wijaksana."

Michael's voice echoed, causing them to pause for a moment and then slowly a wide smile was painted on their faces in delight.

But not with Mrs Caca, she felt that something was hidden by her son. He looked at his son's clenched hands and shook violently then looked at his son's depressed face while muttering inwardly.

"Miki, what are you hiding from us. Well ... If you don't want to tell me, then I'll figure it out myself."
