Alena who is now the attention of everyone becomes pounding unbecoming. Alena sighed for a moment before answering the question asked.
"I…"
Arga looked at Alena intensely as Alena was about to answer a question from Uncle Arga that was Arkayudha. Alena who was stared at like that gulped her own saliva. With a thumping feeling Alena let out her voice.
"Bismillahirahmanirahim. I received a proposal from Arga." Alena gave an answer that made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thank God, good that his proposal was accepted now is the time for the embedding of the ring as a sign of engagement between Arga and Alena." Uncle Arka directed Arga and Alena to stand up.
Alena and Arga slowly headed towards Uncle Arka. Arga took out a ring from a red velvet ring box with a heart-shaped shape. The ring was prepared by Arga. Arga pinned it on Alena's ring finger that felt hypnotized by this condition. The ring fits perfectly on Alena's finger. Alena was stunned to see the ring, even for the ring alone Alena did not choose and immediately received the ring that had been prepared by Arga. Alena felt annoyed when she saw the ring. However, the feeling of annoyance was gone because the ring was very sweet, simple but very elegant with one diamond eye in the middle. Alena loved her engagement ring.
The applause heard from both families resuscitated Alena from her daydream.
"Don't daydream" said Arga as he returned to his seat. Alena also returned to the seat provided.
After the application event, there was a meal at once to bring the two families closer together. Everyone seemed to enjoy the dishes that the host had prepared.
Leona, who is Mommy Arga, approaches Alena first.
"Thank you, Alena, you'd like to accept Arga's proposal. Mommy hope you can be patient because Arga is a very difficult person to guess. Mommy's just sometimes surprised by Arga's attitude." Mommy Leona starts a conversation with Alena while holding Alena's hand.
"Yes Aunty." replied Alena with a smile.
"Kok Aunty, call Mommy just like Arga," Mommy Leona said.
"Good Mommy." Alena said that while smiling awkwardly.
"Oh, what a sweet girl, I've wanted to have a daughter for a long time. Ever since Arga's father died I've been so lonely at home, Arga has rarely seen me. If you have, you can talk later." Mommy Leona again said as she pinched Alena's cheek. Mommy Leona's very suble carrying makes them no longer awkward.
"Ah, same thing, ma'am. This Alena also rarely goes home she prefers in her apartment because it is closer to her office." Mama Amira who was watching their conversation answered Mommy Leona's words.
"Mama, but Alena often comes home." Alena said it with a spoiled tone that invited laughter from Mommy Leona and Mama Amira.
"Yes, what is important later if you are married to Arga you must often see Mommy ya." said Mommy Leona. Mommy Leona who received Alena warmly certainly gave a warm feeling for Alena and her family. Of course, this is very important to build a family later.
"Thank you for accepting Arga's application. Arga is a very indifferent person but on the other hand he is a caring person. You have to be patient with it." Alena little knew from Grandpa Aditya's story that Grandpa Danu was sickly from fatigue leading the company only to nag when given advice by him.
Arga who heard it just fell silent and stared at Alena sharply. Alena who was subconsciously stared at by Arga immediately turned her eyes the other way. Alena who was embarrassed finally said goodbye to the two grandfathers who were still busy talking to go to the toilet. Arga who heard Alena wanted to leave immediately followed Alena.
"Why are you following me?" alena asked annoyed at feeling followed by Arga.
"I want the two of us to talk first. Before we continue this engagement any further." Arga pulls Alena slowly so that the two of them head to the garden behind Alena's house.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" Alena started the question to Arga.
"I know you don't want this engagement, do you? You must have just had to follow this proposal so that everyone would be happy." Arga started their conversation with a very serious mimicry.
"Yes, then what do you want?" Alena asked in confusion.
"We just run this engagement even if it gets to the level of marriage we have to continue it. However, you should not interfere in each other's personal affairs. You can do whatever you want, even work even if I won't ban it. I know you work at my company." Arga explained his words which according to Alena is the longest word of an Arga.
"Well if that's what you want." Alena accepts the proposal from Arga.
"But I don't want you to be in a relationship with someone else as long as we're engaged or we're married. Neither will I, I, too, be in touch with any woman as long as we're still in a relationship." Arga continued his words.
"Yes, I agree with that too. If we need to just make a marriage contract after we are officially married later." proposed Alena who seems to be thinking.
"Well, I'll think first about the marriage contract, I don't want to make this seem so complicated." Arga seems to think first because there are things that are feared by him. His grandfather was a very meticulous person, if he knew Arga and Alena had a marriage contract, his grandfather could have a heart attack so angry.
"It's up to you, I'm just proposing to you. Then, about our relationship should be exposed in the company? Considering you're the CEO and I'm just a regular employee. Our family certainly doesn't mind but I don't know anyone outside." Alena finally told her concern since then because this continued to hamper her mind. The Arga family did receive it well especially Mama Arga looks very fond of Arga, but we do not know with people out there.
"If you're prepared for the consequences of course I don't mind being exposed to our relationship." Arga answered Alena's question casually.
"I was just doubting something, afraid that I would be treated special. I don't like that" Alena said. Alena likes her coworkers, especially Vania. Vania is her best friend, later if her best friend knows that Arga is her fiance, Alena is very afraid that Vania's attitude changes towards her.
"Alright, in the meantime we just hide our engagement. If you still doubt something." Arga ended their conversation and agreed to talk about it at a later date. Finally, Arga and Alena's proposal show went smoothly and they were officially engaged.
