As pretty as a Butterfly
Chapter 24. The statement of the Grand Mistress.


Wijaksana Mansion.


Floren and his parents climbed on the marble floor of his mansion, entered the mansion and threw themselves on a soft and comfortable sofa.


Michael's proposal for Floren was rejected directly by Mrs Caca, upsetting the Floren family.


"The madam is smart, foiling our plans" said Mrs Berta as she fanned herself.


"Hm ... True darling, I also did not expect him to be able to say things that we could not easily refute. But it's okay dear, the important thing is that they are willing to match their son with Floren," replied Mr. Wijaksana.


Madam Berta clucked in annoyance. "Mrs is stubborn. It was clear Michael wanted to propose to Floren but he arbitrarily forbade the relationship. With the reason his son is still not old enough, they both are already big. What's wrong with marrying them at that age, or at least they can get engaged first. Yes ...."


Master Wijaksana nodded. "But darling, that beautiful Madam's remark was indeed true, they were both very young. We must be patient, until both are old enough. "


Floren. "No Papi, I don't think that's the reason. Mamy Mike didn't seem to like me so he turned down Mike's proposal. Especially when the big madam saw me, she seemed suspicious that I was setting her up. Didn't you hear what he said?"


Floren's remarks made Mrs Berta back in prison. "Dearly, the Madam always suspected us that Michael was being framed. The pretentious mistress turned out to be not easy to lie to, even she also repeatedly thwarted our plans and tried to protect her son. All told not to interfere in his son's personal affairs, but he himself interfered now."


"Right, if it wasn't for Mike's mom, maybe I could've mastered Mike completely. It's all Mike's mama's fault, if she hadn't interfered with me and Mike would've been engaged!" Floren clenched his hands tightly on the table and they recalled Mrs Caca's words.


"My Michael was only 19 years old, he said, I don't think it's full of seriousness. Besides Mrs Berta, I don't want to rush to get my son married. Besides they're not old enough yet, my Michael also has to finish his education and responsibilities as a child first."


"I don't know since when my son loved your daughter Mrs Berta, but I definitely want to see the relationship go slowly. I'll let them date first to get to know each other. I also want to get to know Floren and your family more closely."


" I can only match them up for now, because I want to see if their relationship can go well or not. If the relationship between the two is good, then I promise you Mrs Berta. I will continue their relationship to the level of engagement and also marriage. But if their relationship isn't good, then I'll cancel it."


"Also Mrs Berta, to be the daughter-in-law of the Chandra Putra family is not easy. My daughter-in-law must be someone who meets several criteria, as a standard by which she is worthy or not part of our extended family. For that I suggest that Floren first learn to adapt to our family."


The three of them fell silent as they recalled Madam Caca's words. They curse each other out of annoyance, but for the sake of achieving a goal they must face the challenge.


"You don't have to worry, baby. During your approach to the family, all you're doing now is figuring out how to take Michael's family, especially his mom. Mamy believes you can be their daughter-in-law, because according to Mamy only you are worthy to be the daughter-in-law of the big family" Mrs Berta assured Floren.


Master Wijaksana nodded. "Your mom is right, baby, make that big, hard-to-control lady like you first. If he's happy with you, then you can get Michael by yourself."


Floren smiled. "You're right, Mike's weakness is his family, especially his mom. Mike would've agreed to every single one of her Mammys' requests whether she liked it or not."

Next day.


.


Chandra Men's Mansion.


Last night, Mrs Caca couldn't sleep. His son's words always revolved around filling his head.


"Trust me, all I do is for our family."


"Florence ... I proposed to you."


"My promise has been fulfilled, now keep your promise."


"That girl has nothing to do with you. Let him work quietly."


He took a deep breath and pondered every word Michael said yesterday.


"Promise fulfilled?"


"Who is the girl ... Why was Michael angry when Floren discussed the girl, working quietly. What the hell is going on?"


"It's fortunate that I acted quickly to thwart Miki's proposal, what would happen if my son was controlled by that family. But what was the purpose of them using my Miki? Does Floren seriously love Miki?"


Madam Caca always muttered to make her husband wake up from his sleep. He looked at his wife who was thinking about something.


"Dear Morning, what are you contemplating?" greet Mr. Nael and then sit leaning on the head of the bed while stretching his muscles.


Madam Caca sighed. "Nothing dear, I was just thinking about what happened yesterday. I feel like last night was a little suspicious."


"What do you mean, baby?" ask the Master and then move closer to his wife.


The lady replied. "Yes, I mean, it was like they had planned. Sudden dinner invitations, proposals and so on. I think it's weird baby, the family's in such a hurry to get her daughter married. I don't understand ...." Madame Caca daydreamed while propping up her chin.


Mr. Nael looked at his dreamy wife, then smiled mischievously. "You are so enchanting darling, than daydreaming of unimportant things we better take a bath together." Mr. Nael then carried his wife into the bathroom and did not care about the ravings of the wife who refused him.


The bathroom was left open so that the sound of water gurgling from the bathroom shower and also other strange sounds that filled their entire large room.


***


The Michael Room.


When his parents were delicious to combine love, another case with his son Michael who was still thinking about the incident last night.


Michael cleaned his body, under the shower he clenched his hands tightly. His eyes turned red in annoyance given his proposal statement to Floren last night.


"Florence ... I propose to you, be my fiance."


Michael stomped his fist hard towards the bathroom wall before him.


"Bug!"


His breathing was stirring, considering the treatment of the Floren family to him. But her emotions faded further as she recalled the help from her Mamy.


"It's a good thing that Mamy was quick to oppose him, otherwise it's impossible that me and him are already in a relationship. Thank's Mom, at least I can breathe a sigh of relief now."


Michael took a deep breath, then closed both eyes and held his face up. He let his slap face was flushed by a shower for a moment.


"Jelita."


Michael opened his eyes violently as the name flashed through his mind, then recalled Floren's words.


"I won't let him, that ugly Jelita work quietly ... I won't!"


"Flo, why are you still after her ..."
