Discernment
Ch 7's. Engagement

The next day Aya met with Lissa, her best friend.It also happened to be Lissa today on leave of work because she was not feeling well. Be Aya go to Lissa's house to see the situation of her best friend and want to tell her about her marriage to Darren.

“Crazy you, Ay! What about Gandhi? Not that you guys are equally loyal.” Lissa asked who was very surprised to hear the news of her best friend's matchmaking.

“I won't tell Gandhi, Lis. Because Darren and I have agreed to divorce after a few months we get married.”

“You sure of the plan, Ay? Because as in most novels I read, it is precisely marriage with matchmaking that initially are not interested in each other end will be mutually bucin loh. I can't imagine what Gandhi's fate would be.”

“Don't be confused with dong's novel story, Lis. And there's no way I'm falling for a stiff guy like Darren. Likewise with him who seems not interested in women.” Say Aya as is.

Lissa just took a slow breath. But when she met Aya yesterday with Darren, Lissa knew that she looked really cold. But it does not rule out the possibility if one day Aya and Darren love each other. And that means,.. Lissa reviewed a thin smile without Aya's knowledge.

“Ya already if you want that. Later if you divorce, manta your husband for me, can ya?” lissa asked as she rolled her eyes at Aya.

“Basic!!” Aya shook Lissa's head as if Lissa's words were just joking.

After that the two friends spent all day in the room, as usual, they will watch their favorite drama. Though Lissa herself was sick, but with the arrival of Aya, the pain in her body was gone.

Aya and Darren's engagement day arrives. The event was held very simply at the residence of Mirza. Only the nuclear family was present. On the part of the Darren family, only Mr. Melviano and Julian, Darren's personal assistants.

The engagement was short and smooth. And the wedding plan Aya and Darren will be held after Aya graduation. Of course it was very surprising for Aya. Not with Darren. Because the man always showed his flat face. And keep in mind, if Darren is also not interested in his second marriage, especially from the beginning Aya has intended to play games with marriage.

Aya also asked both her parents and the Darren family if the wedding will be held simply without a fancy party. Mirza had refused, but after that his wife agreed to Aya's request. Finally Mirza just according.the important thing is their marriage is legitimate.

Now everyone has gathered in the dining room to enjoy the banquet of the Mirza family. While Aya chose to come out for a moment because she wanted to invite Darren to talk.

“Sorry, everyone. Aya get out first.” Pamit Aya and got a full look at her Papa.

Now Aya and Darren are already on the porch of the house. As usual, Darren is always not interested if invited together with Aya. But it seems there is something important that will be conveyed his future wife.

“You remember our plan the other day?” aya asked and got a nod of the head from Darren.

“Good then. Later I think again about the plan how we will divorce, so as not to make both our parents suspicious.” Aya.

Darren did not give any reaction at all. After that he moved from his seat and left Aya just like that. Obviously Aya was very upset with Darren's attitude like that. Aya quickly blocked Darren's arm that was about to enter the house.

“Can you not be cold like this? I know that you also do not like me and do not want this matchmaking.at least do not I just try to find a way for us to separate later.” annoyed Aya staring sharply at Darren. After that he left first leaving Darren who was still silent.

Darren's still glued to his place. It was true that he also did not want this matchmaking.after hearing Aya's expression of annoyance just now, why did his heart feel bad about the woman. he should also be trying to find a way how he can later part with Aya. If he is silent like this, it is impressed that he actually wants this matchmaking.

“You looking for Aya, Ren?” ask Mirza.

Darren only nodded faintly for the sake of not arousing suspicion towards Aya's two parents.

“Aya said goodbye to go into the room because his head was dizzy. forgive Aya yes, Ren. He's still a little labile.” Sahut Mama Devina's.

“Ehm, it's okay Aunt.”

After finishing his dinner, Darren's family bounces home. Mama Devina was forced to call Aya because it felt inappropriate if her daughter did not take her future husband's family home.

Aya kissed the back of Papa Vano's hand. And it made Darren touched. Even his wife who is famous for soft-spoken once never once did anything like Aya. Papa Vano himself was very happy to see Aya's polite demeanor. Even the man rubbed Aya's head gently.

“Om can't wait to have a daughter-in-law like Nak Aya.” Papa Vano said.

Aya simply commented on the smile after which looked coldly at Darren who had upset her. The warm feeling that had approached Darren was destroyed instantly when he saw Aya's cold gaze.

After the return of the Darren family, Aya went back into the room, but suddenly her Papa stopped his steps and asked Aya to sit down.

“What the hell is it, Pa? aya's head is dizzy.” said Aya with a lazy face.

“Dizziness what a lie?” ask Papa Mirza who understands that his son is lying.

“Papa know that you you and Darren don't love each other, Aya. There are many reasons why Papa wants you to get married. Papa strongly believes that Darren is a good man, despite his cold attitude, and Mr. Vano has also long been a business partner of Papa who is like his own family. So please, obey Papa, Aya. The old man was never wrong in making choices for his son.” Papa Mirza said gently so as not to make Aya emotional.

Aya just shook her head. Living a household with someone she doesn't love is hard. Especially his first experience. And good capital is not enough according to Aya. He had a long relationship with Gandhi. Obviously he already knows the inside out, the good and bad side of his lover who he thinks is better than Darren. Why did his father disapprove of his relationship with Gandhi.

“Papa already know that Aya is in a relationship with Gandhi? Now Aya asks, why is Papa against Aya's relationship with Gandhi? Please Papa tell us the obvious reason!”
