"Ehm... "Bu Rita cleared a little gerogi. She looked at her husband for help.
Meanwhile, Ms. Mirna, Alya and Ardi looked dheg-dhegan waiting for Bu Rita to open her mouth.
"I gather you here, because " Bu Rita's words are cut off.
"We will discuss about the marriage of our son" said Mr. Aryo cut his wife.
"What?" asked Ardi shocked, a little happy, but also confused when Ardi had never told about Lian.
"What Om? A wedding? Meanin?" Alya was very shocked and did not understand.
"Yes, Om wants you and Ardi to get married soon" replied Mr. Aryo briefly.
"I mean piye? You want to betroth my precious daughter to your son's son?" ask Miss Mirna. Miss Mirna wanted to refuse, because from the beginning Miss Mirna did not like Ardi's temperament.
"In the meantime, Jeng, I will explain" replied Bu Rita did not think the response of Ms. Mirna was not good. Then Bu Rita looked at Alya and Ardi.
"What does Aunt mean?" alya asked with a different call due to shock.
Bu Rita also lowered her head, doubting her desperation was wrong and would be hated by Alya. Bu Rita swallowed his saliva, again determined his intentions were right and had to succeed.
"Alya, there's something Mama wants to say" Ms. Rita replied gently and carefully.
Hearing Alya's words, Ardi was startled and looked at her mother. Ardi did not expect the woman he knew Lian was Alya. Who his mother wanted to introduce.
"Alya Mah?" tanya Ardi whispered "She's Lian not Alya".
"Shut up!" Bu Rita stomps on Ardi's feet ignoring Ardi's question.
"Mas Aryo, Jeng Rita, quite frankly I don't agree that suddenly this is the case, let alone my son being betrothed to your son this sontoloyo" Ms Mirna broke through the conversation, saying, not accept having an arrogant and unfriendly ghost.
Alya smiled with relief at hearing her mother defend her. While Ardi, furious, felt insulted by the statement of Miss Mirna. Seeing the situation heat up. Ms. Rita took her weapon stored in the envelope.
"But our children love each other Jeng" replied Bu Rita launching the action. "Well, son?" asked Bu Rita looking at Alya and Ardi.
Ardi scratched his head. What drama did his mother make. Her mother could say that.
Alya was very shocked by Bu Rita's statement."Love one another, love one another?" alya's mind doesn't make sense.
"Alya doesn't understand, what does Mama Rita mean?" alya asked with a pale and dry face.
Then Ms. Rita took out the photos inside the envelope. All eyes were on the pictures. Alya's face instantly blushed red and held in shame. Never thought, there was even a person stalking her, taking her picture. It's a criminal act.
"Bah!" Ardi screeched disappointedly looking at his papa who had seemed calm earlier. "Ardi's an adult, Pah, why is Papah still hiring a bodyguard for Ardi's tail?" tanya Ardi was disappointed in her father.
"Father, will not hire a bodyguard if you obey the words of your father and mother" replied Mr. Aryo calmly.
"And accept Arlan as your driver" continued Mr. Aryo, he wanted Ardi to have a driver and assistant so as not to act as he pleased.
While Ms Mirna grabbed photos of her favorite child. Miss Rita was a bit surprised to see it. Alya looks close to Ardi the man is not polite. But there's nothing wrong with that photo. Just looks like two lovebirds who are shy on a first date. It wasn't that critical until he was called in the middle of the night.
"So how's Jeng?" ask Ms. Rita to Ms. Mirna.
"The two of you" said Ms. Rita looking at Ardi, "We are your parents, we will be very happy with your honesty, be honest with us, do not act behind until misstep" bu Rita looked at Alya.
Ms. Rita really hopes that she's right. Bu Rita thinks Alya and Ardi are ready. Alya nolak Farid. But there is something strange about Ardi for refusing to be introduced to Alya. So meeting them in this way is the right action.
"Mang No. It's a misunderstanding. Alya will explain, the real incident is not what it looks like in the photo!" alya answered trying to explain and straighten out. There is no relationship between the two.
Bu Rita was disappointed by Alya's explanation. Miss Rita swallowed her saliva. Then remember one more piece of evidence.
Ardi still could not accept that the woman he approached was Alya. Her clenched tang felt lied to. "So she's Alya? This woman is Alya?" guman Ardi noticed what was happening in front of him.
"Mah Ardi needs to talk to Lian" Ardi replied amid tensions.
Bu Rita nodded, letting Ardi talk to Alya.
Ardi got up and grabbed Alya's hand that was sitting on the sidelines.
"Follow me" Ardi dragged Alya.
"What the hell is mas?" alya replied annoyedly trying to let go of Ardi's hand.
Ardi brought Alya the garden in front of the living room. Ardi held Alya and placed Alya standing against the wall. Ardi locked Alya with Ardi lying in front of him and hands holding the wall.
Alya swallowed her saliva. His heart was pounding with a gaze that close to Ardi. Alya harbors regrets, shocked and does not understand, why Alya was placed in a situation that is not clear as it is now.
"Tell me that you're not Alya" Ardi said looking at Alya seriously.
"What do you mean?" alya answered withstanding her heartbeat.
"What's your name? Tell me that you're not Alya!"
Alya silently grabbed the nametag that was still hanging on her Id Card_. Then show Ardi in the face.
"drs. Alya Berlian S" Ardi glared at reading Alya's name.
Seeing Ardi huffled Alya silently adjusted her breathing. Muffle emotions and try to neutralize stress.
"Say you're not a salary teacher at the parlor" Ardi said inquiring back.
"I'm not a teacher. I only visit once in a while" Alya replied slowly.
Then Ardi looked back at Alya deeply.
"So you deliberately lived in an apartment, to seduce me and cooperate with my mother? So I can marry you?" ask Ardi rudely.
Alya's face instantly reddened her blood instantly rose to hear it. Alya was very unaccepting of being teased by men. Though clearly Ardi who always comes to him.
"Plac!" Alya slaps Ardi.
"Bare to you!" said Ardi touching his cheek that feels spicy. Didn't expect the soft-faced woman in front of him to dare to slap.
"So your mouth! even I regret ever receiving help from your family, until I have to meet a dwarf-brained old man like you" replied Alya cynically behind beratai Ardi.
"What's? You're spying on me?"
"Yes! It was a mistake for me because I wasn't looking for the cost from the start! Solve any misunderstanding outside and don't see me again!" threatening Alya glared in front of Ardi.
"Isn't this what you planned. Are you not the one who wants to marry me? And tease me?"
"Brug!" Alya pushed Ardi with all her might until she fell down.
"Sial" Ardi cursed and clenched his hand.
"Listen well Mr. Ardi Gunawijaya. Even I regret knowing you and your family. I also regret reject Kak Farid if the ending is like this" said Alya cynically. "I wouldn't marry a boy like you!" alya continued to call Ardi who was standing in front of him.
Ardi's hands clenched staring at the departure of the woman in scrub and veiled. Ardi did not accept being insulted and said. Ardi was determined to make Alya regret her words.
****
In the Family Room.
"This photo does not show anything, Jeng" said Ms Mirna put the photos Alya and Ardi.
"When my son's bodyguard found out that he used to come to your daughter, my husband activated a cctv in my apartment, take a look at this video" Ms. Rita took footage from Mr. Aryo's laptop.
The recording is not complete and clear. Only Alya can see him walking to the room. Alya came out with clothes. Then go back to the room and turn off the lights. No more activity was recorded on camera until morning. In the morning Alya left the room.
Ms. Mirna stared and watched the video without the sound. The video was floating, leaving questions, but no answer to what was going on in the room. Except for the perpetrator in that room. The video only explains them spending the night together in one room.
"I believe my daughter" Ms. Mirna replied swallowing the saliva in doubt.
"I'm also trying to trust my son and your daughter Mir. That's why I invited you and brought them together. We listen to them" Ms. Rita replied explaining to Ms. Mirna.
Mr. Aryo seems convinced that the marriage that Bu Rita wants will happen soon. Mr. Aryo wants his son to end his bachelor's life immediately. Though in his heart sure Ardi and Alya did nothing. He has a longstanding opinion to Ms. Mirna that something is going on between Alya and Ardi.
"Your beautiful daughter, Bu Mirna, my son is no longer young, there are no guarantees when they spend the night together in one room, these photos as clues, there is mutual interest between them" Mr. Aryo added.
"I just want to take responsibility, and make amends I've neglected to look after Alya. Ardi my biological son I sinned if I remained silent. Rather than being left alone, it's becoming a constant, the sooner the better, right?" added Bu Rita to convince Ms. Mirna. Getting them married is the best thing.
Miss Mirna's getting cornered, her guts. Heart's scratched. Did his daughter really do such a thing? Though Miss Mirna wants to match Ustad in her village with Alya. He just got PNS teaching at SMAN. But what happens if the ustad knows that Alya is no longer a virgin.
"How's Jeng?" asked Bu Rita to Bu Mirna who looked silent.
Then came Alya from the laur and sat looking at her mother.
"Alya, explain to Mom about this video" said Ms Mirna weakly showing the video to Alya.
Alya opened the video, her mouth choked even in the apartment there was her cctv. "What's so bad about Miss Rita's family?"muttered Alya unexpectedly, Ms. Rita who was known to be angelic hearted even sabotaged her activities. Ardi came tailing behind Alya.
"Yes Ma'am, Mah, Pah. We did it" closhed Ardi from behind, making all dumb. Ardi who is not a young boy anymore caught the direction of his parents' conversation.
"What Son?" mama Rita asked in disbelief.
"Do what Mas? Don't worry about you!" alya still does not believe in Ardi's statement.
"Cloth" Miss Mirna slapped Alya. Ardi, Bu Rita and Pak Aryo were shocked to see him. Didn't expect Miss Mirna to slap Alya. There is a sense of kasian towards Alya. But they have no right to interfere in the affairs of mother and child.
Alya held her cheek. Lips choked. Alya's tears are flowing. His mother believed what Ardi said and the video.
"Mom..this is not what I thought, Alya can be clear, believe me Mom!" alya replied stammeredly, Alya felt cornered.
"Mother's ashamed of Nak as you are, Mother's ashamed, Mother's disappointed. Even you're alone with this reckless man!"
"Mom trust Alya. This video does not explain anything, there is no evidence of what happened in the room, Alya did nothing" Alya tried to explain honestly.
"I'm sorry ma'am, I'm khilaf. We do. I will take responsibility, I will marry Alya as soon as possible" Ardi interrupted Alya's statement.
Alya swallowed her saliva, hearing Ardi's unreasonable statement. Alya's hands clenched, her tears dripping down could not resist.
