Today is Saturday afternoon, the day that Ardi promised to take Ella to Banyu Harum. He was introduced to both his parents and his entire family there.
Ella asked permission to go home early to her team at RSUD G. At exactly eleven o'clock Ardi had sent him a message. He told her he had been waiting in the parking lot in front of the hospital. Ella immediately resigned and moved out of her room to fight with internal medicine.
Ella walked slowly down the corridors and hallways of RSUD which are still crowded by outpatients who are waiting in line to get services in their respective destinations. Next Ella passed the loby, front office and continued out of the building to the parking lot. There has been waiting for Ardi with his black sports pajero.
As usual Ella just opened the door of the car she had memorized, entered the car and greeted the picker. "Siang mas Ardi" he said while installing a seat belt in his chair.
"Well where?" ardi protested while driving his car out of the hospital complex.
"Eh? Afternoon.mas Ardi..honey" ella ralat with a little clumsy, shy. He rarely used that word to call Ardi. Ella felt unprepared and deeply ashamed every time she had to mention Ardi's affection. He preferred to call the man with the gold frills alone in front of his name.
"Honey is also Ella dear" replied ardi satisfied.
"Where is ntar's plan?" Ella began to open up the subject of their conversation.
"Plan?" Ardi was a little confused about the plan Ella meant. What plan try? Time to go home alone using the all-plan? "Yes now I take you home to the contract first to get ready. That Abis went straight to Banyu Harum."
"Certainly? Stay there?"
"I'll book a hotel there. Make you rest and relax first. Maleman I'm taking you to my mom's birthday party at home. How's it?" Ardi offered one of his plans. "Are you going to stay at my house? Are there a lot of idle rooms too?" Ardi offers a second opinion.
"I prefer the first choice" replied Ella satisfied with Ardi's first plan. Well at least he doesn't have to stay at Ardi's house. Do not have to gather and hang out too long with the Ardi family which will certainly make it very irritable, nervous and nervous.
"It's up to you anyway. The important thing is that you're comfortable" Ardi agreed to Ella's choice.
A few minutes later they arrived at Ella's contract. Ella went straight into the house, washed her face, changed her clothes, and made thin. Then he went back to Ardi who was still waiting for him in the car, while carrying a backpack that he had prepared before. Preparation of all supplies for traveling out of town for two days, to Banyu Harum.
"Yuk departs" Sapa Ella as she approaches Ardi who is waiting for her in the car. The two of them immediately glided together on the paved road and under the hot sun that afternoon.
The trip to Banyu Harum from Genting city takes about two hours. They must pass through various fields that are quite stirring up the contents of the stomach. Due to the mountain roads full of forests and sharp climbs that meandering. But beyond all that travel they are able to present a very beautiful and beautiful natural scenery for them to enjoy the entire trip while chatting.
"Aren't you papa? Not drunk?" Tanya Ardi was a little worried to realize Ella was more silent than she was after their hour of travel.
"No. Not yet"
"Try to sleep. I try to drive it more smoothly" said Ardi gave advice. He feels guilty for the way he drives which may feel rough and uncomfortable for Ella. It is rather difficult to be stable without shaking with roads full of climbs and sharp turns like this.
"But later Ardi drowsy when left to sleep?" Ella was worried about Ardi.
"Let's go. I'm used to going home Genting-Banyu Harum, driving alone." Ardi smiled anxiously at Ella's answer, for some reason the girl was so sensitive and felt so much. "You go to sleep first yes, I'll wake up when I get there" Ardi raised his hand to Ella, stroking the girl's head gently.
"I'm bobbing first ya mas" said Ella as she slightly rewinded the back of her chair to a position that could make her comfortable, and tried to close her eyes.
Ardi smiled with relief at Ella who fell asleep shortly afterwards. He didn't want to see the girl drunk anymore, didn't want to see her in pain and suffering anymore. Finally for the rest of the journey Ardi alone must survive by chewing mint candy a lot to fight his drowsiness during driving. Tuning music out loud also can not be the problem, afraid to disturb and wake Ella.
After arriving in the city of Banyu Harum, Ardi immediately directed his car to the hotel Santika. The hotel is located in the city center and is the closest distance to the main residence of the Pradana family. Ardi wakes Ella as soon as she parks her car in the hotel's front parking lot.
"Els? Ella darling? Let's wake!" He gently rubbed Ella's forehead and hair to wake the girl up.
Before long Ella had already opened her eyes, with a hint of confusion she turned right and left, to regain her consciousness. "Where is mas?"
"Udah nyampe Banyu Harum's. In front of the hotel where you will stay later. Book your room and have lunch" Ardi asked.
The two of them got out of the car and walked hand in hand to the hotel lobby, booking a room for Ella. Next they both continued their steps towards the hotel restaurant and took proper seating overlooking the garden and swimming pool. It is good to wash your eyes and look at the view.
A female waiters approached them, greeted politely and handed them a menu list on their table.
"What do you want to eat, baby?" ask Ardi while thrusting the menu book at Ella.
"Beef black pepper equal soursop juice"
"El, do you believe I love you?" Ardi suddenly said seriously.
"Suddenly? Do you believe me?" ella replied casually while pretending to think hard, teasing Ardi.
"Not believing?!" Sela Ardi was impatient.
"Hehehe believed it" Ella laughed lightly at Ardi's impetuous nature.
"Later whatever you see and hear at the party don't care. There's only one thing you need to remember I love you. There will be no other woman but you"
This time Ella was a little confused about how to respond to Ardi's words. He already knew very well about Ardi's feelings, for what the man seemed to want to emphasize again, remind again about his feelings for Ella?
Is it possible that things will happen that can make him doubt Ardi at the party later? Will there be a rejection of him from the Ardi family? Ella is increasingly afraid to imagine everything that might happen at the birthday party later.
"If later you need something, if you are uncomfortable or there makes you not like. You just go find me, Linggar or Laras. It's just the three of us, don't go to anyone else you don't know"
"What's the mas? how come it's that nakutin?"
"Ella, honey...I seriously. I don't want you to get hurt or hurt. I'll take care of you..." Ardi's speech was stopped when the waiters had brought all their orders, presenting them at the table.
"Udah is all I want you to remember. Later after Magrib maybe I can't pick you up. I'll have Linggar or the driver pick you up here, depending on the situation" Ardi started eating his fried rice.
"Emang mas Ardi why can't you?"
"If there's a party like that usually I'll get stuck and can't escape. From the obligation to greet and mingle with people from the business world that is boring and annoying"
"Oh..." Ella can understand a little bit that a party for the upper class can be useful as a means to expand connections and establish cooperation.
After that the two continued their feeding procession with a hikmad. Then Ardi escorted Ella to the front of her hotel room. He handed her the Ella backpack he was carrying before leaving home. The man also told Ella to take a short break in her hotel room while waiting for an invitation later in the afternoon.
"I live first. See you later in the afternoon" his farewell while lightly patting Ella's head. The girl simply nodded in response and could only look at Ardi's passing body leaving her alone.
Ella immediately entered her room, a room that looked very luxurious and too big to be occupied alone. From the window of this three-story room, you can see the swimming pool and hotel garden on the ground floor which is neatly arranged as a view.
Ella put her backpack on the bed and laid herself on the padded mattress. Do not forget to switch AC and TV to get rid of loneliness. Then shortly thereafter the girl was asleep in a cozy kapuk island cradle.
In the afternoon, Ella woke up because there was vibration and sound from her phone. A message from Ardi for him.
Lazuardis
Baby afternoon, aren't you awake yet? At seven o'clock my driver will pick you up. Continue Linggar will welcome you in front of the house. I'll see you at the party
Lazuardis
Oiya don't forget to wear the clothes I chose yesterday. Beautiful dandan, baby!
Ella
Ok mas Ardi dear. Ready-to-implement!
Because the day had started the afternoon Ella immediately took a bath, cleaned herself and then got ready and dressed up for the birthday party of Mama Ardi. There was a fear that always haunted him, a sense of inferiority, a sense of uneasiness that he felt raging inside his chest.
Ella couldn't imagine how Mom and Dad Ardi would react to meeting her later. He also could not imagine how the reaction of other families, and their business associates when they found out the girl brought by Ardi Pradana was an ordinary girl. Not a daughter of a rich and powerful sultan.
