Diamond Luster
Chapters 18. Waiting for answers

Mama Farida moves quickly to meet the diamond family to present her proposal at Rangga's company.

On the other hand, Bintang who is still turbulent against the matchmaking that he has agreed to by force, still looks focused on leading the meeting held in his office.

"How about Mr. Yadi, the eviction license from the prosecutor's office is out, right?" ask the stars of one of the senior staff in his office.

"Sorry sir, Mr. Farida has mengultimatum so that we cancel the eviction plan. To this day I have not dared to take any action to oppose his decision, including taking care of the eviction permit" replied Mr. Yadi diplomatically.

"Please leave this office. Pack all your stuff and you never set foot in this office again anything else shows your nose in front of me" The uncompromising star makes unilateral decisions just like that with his haughty style.

"I mean star sir, I got fired?" ask Mr. Yadi scared.

"Yes" replied the star briefly, making other staff who took part in the meeting was surprised by the big decisions made by their superiors considering that Pak Yadi is one of the senior staff who is very dedicated to advancing the plantation and the tea factory managed by pratama family.

"Sir, what are your decisions not excessive?. Mr. Yadi has served the company for many years, his loyalty also need not be doubted. It is better for the star sir to reconsider the father's decision." said one of the other staff raised his objection.

The star glanced sharply at Fadli who dared to defy his decision. Fadli who was the same age as a star was made to swallow his own saliva .

"If you object to my decision, you can leave this office. I don't need a lifetime of dedication, I just need a person who obeys my decisions, not a dissident"

All those who took part in the meeting in order to discuss the issue of eviction of settlements did not dare to oppose or express opinions. They chose silence rather than fate the same as Pak yadi. Likewise with the fadli who had voiced , now choose silence like the others. Unlike the offended and furious Mr. Yadi with a clear satire addressed to him.

"Good, star. If not for remembering the message of the late Mr. Hadi (the biological father of Bintang), I have long since resigned from this company. Maybe it's time for me to stop working because actually I never want to work without using the heart like a Mr. Bintang. Mr. Hadi who is so wise there in leading the company is very much different from his arrogant son" pak yadi frowns fearlessly. The slur of Mr. Yadi also made the face of the red Star extinguished humiliated in front of other staff.

"Excuse me"

Mr. Yadi walked out of the meeting room. Fadli cs can only gawk and disillusioned people as honest as Pak yadi in a waste of knowledge and experience as well as dedication by their superiors. While the star looks relaxed without guilt or feeling that he has made a big mistake has dismissed people carelessly.

"Nobody can move from their seats if they do not want to suffer the same fate as Pak yadi" reprimand the stars resolutely when the other staff wanted to catch up with the middle-aged man who had just received the unfortunate fate to just say goodbye. Fadli cs was forced to sit and meet in continued in an uncomfortable atmosphere.

Mama who still looks beautiful has conveyed her wishes directly in front of the grandfather dharma also grandmother Aminah .Now, just waiting for the answer from a couple who still do not believe the family pratama who are well-known come to propose their grandchildren. At that time Diamond was not at home, so Rangga could calmly accompany mama farida.

"How about dharma sir, Aminah ma'am?. Would you accept our proposal to marry a diamond to a star, my son?" mama Farida asked for the third time.

"Frankly we are very flattered by the wishes of Farida's mother who was willing to make diamonds as a daughter-in-law . But, my grandson is still very young to have a family" Dharma's grandfather replied with careful consideration.

"What's wrong?" whispered grandfather Dharma again.

"Grandmother wants to talk to both grandparents" he said.

"Bu Farida, apologize in advance. I want to talk to my husband alone for a moment" said Grandma Aminah to mama Farida who from earlier was quite patient waiting for a definite answer from them.

"Please, ma'am" said mama Farida did not mind.

Grandma Aminah and her husband walked into the kitchen and left mama farida and Rangga in the living room.

"Sir, should we just accept the proposal from bu farida?" said Grandma Aminah as soon as she reached the kitchen.

"No, grandfather disagrees"

"Grandfather, think again. We're old and starting to get sick. We can't keep the Diamonds forever. Who will keep the diamond if we are not around?. We can't hope for an arya who doesn't know where the jungle is. Grandma can't go quietly if the diamond hasn't found a soul mate who can keep as well as protect her well. Cake, we have served decades of pratama family and we already know how good the family is to us as well as the population here. Ms. Farida also seemed to love Lian very much. Grandma is sure, Lian will be treated well ", said the grandmother of Aminah explained her reasons and opinions.

The dharma grandfather kept silent for a long time thinking about his wife's words before they went back to meet Farida's mother to convey the decision they had negotiated carefully.

"How ?. Was our proposal accepted?" mama Farida asked impatiently to know what answer she would get.

A couple throwing views at each other.

"It all depends on our grandchildren. If he agrees we have absolutely no objection" Dharma's grandfather said.

mama Farida was a little relieved to hear the answer that came out of her grandparents Diamond because she was sure the diamond would not refuse in a match with the Star.

The situation is different precisely in the sense of Rangga. Rangga can make sure the diamond will reject the matchmaking and it could threaten his dream to be able to continue living in the pool of treasure.

...****************...

Angry, angry, that's what diamonds are feeling right now. He had been waiting all day for the arrival of the idol who had been separated for 11 days. Rangga should have come home from yesterday but to this day Rangga has not shown his nose, just giving news by phone was not there. Rangga seemed to be swallowed by the earth, without any news.

Actually he wanted to meet Rangga at his house. However, the diamond still remembers Rangga's message well so as not to look for her at home for any reason for the sake of their relationship. He decided to return home by pedaling a new bicycle, which he had only bought a few days from the royalties of the sales of his novel.
