Ardi clasped Ella's hand and carried the girl through the party room. Walk to the center of the party where his parents were standing. Ardi knew very well that the girl was agitated and very frightened. Ella's hand that he was still holding shook, and it felt extremely cold. Ardi further tightened his grip on Ella, wanting to give the girl a little strength, warmth and encouragement.
Ardi's heart also beats very fast when carrying Ella in front of his parents. There is a fear that they do not like the girl of his choice. But according to Ardi's consideration, how unhappy they would be they would not drive out and act rudely to Ella in the midst of the party. Not in front of the guests present.
"Pa, Ma, this is Amellia. Ardi's girlfriend" Ardi introduced Ella to both her parents once their position was very close.
At once Ella could feel the piercing eyes of the people around her who heard Ardi's words earlier. Especially the eyes of both pairs of Ardi's parents in front of Ella who seemed to be able to penetrate Ella's body...
'Dead me.'Where is this.I have to how next...' Ella's mind screamed so confused.
A little awkwardly and a little late Ella reached out her hand and crucified Papa Ardi. "Ella, Om" he said. Then he went to crucify Mama Ardi whose gaze was laser-sharp on her from "Ella, Aunt"
"Greetings to Ella" said Papa Ardi kindly.
"Oh you said the doctor was?" Mama Ardi said with a sharp tone. Makes Ella's guts shrivel. Do you think your mom doesn't like me? inner Ella.
"I, yes aunt. I'm an interenship doctor at RSUD G" Ella replied very nervously.
"What does Sari mean?"
"Yes right. I have an interest in dr. Sari" Ella confirmed.
"Judek. Welcome, please enjoy the party" said Mama Ardi with a flat tone that tends to be cold and ketus.
"thank you. Happy birthday aunt, may you live long" Ella cursed herself who had forgotten to say congratulations as a formality, so nervous.
Kartika Pradana only responded to Ella's congratulations. He could not take his eyes off the girl, the girl who had managed to steal the heart of Ardi, his beloved son. He continued to closely watch the girl as if to judge and dive into the thought of the girl who looked so graceful, beautiful and intelligent. The kind of girl that is hard to manage seems like.
Ardi again grasped Ella's hand fingers gently. He asked his parents to resign. Guided and directed the girl slightly pulled over from the center of the party crowd. To the edge of the party room, to the food booth section.
"Els? Ella darling? Are you ok?" Ardi asked a little worried to see Ella who looked dumb and silent.
"Eh?..yes yes I'm fine." Answer Ella. It seemed like he was daydreaming, too busy playing with his own thoughts. Too agitated and nervous to think about how the impression he made to both parents Ardi. Did he make a good impression? Would they accept her as her son's lover?
"What do you think? How about daritadi?"
"About my impression is good not to papa and mama Mas Ardi?" asked Ella a little worried.
"Hmmm how ya. Papa the kayak Ok aja. Mama's a little hard"
"I don't think Mama Mas Ardi likes me?" asked Ella in despair.
"Aren't you talking about it?" Ardi Protest. "Yes because I don't know it yet. Mama is almost the same as Laras, if you already know well" Ardi tried to comfort Ella.
"Yes, I'm looking forward to."
"Oiya you daritadi haven't eaten anything yet right? Not wanted?" Ardi tried to distract Ella.
"What's this good?"
"Lontong kikil, meatballs, kebabs, martabak, salad I've tried all delicious hehe"
"Duh load that belly?" Ella gave a small laugh at the food menu that entered Ardi's stomach.
"Create donk. Which one do you want? I take it" Ardi offered.
"Martabak. Same lontong kikil I take it myself" replied Ella before they split into their respective food targets.
Soon they got together again and enjoyed their meal together. While occasionally chatting discussing light things that are fun.
Linggar approached them moments later and asked Ardi to come with him as the main event was about to begin.
"First, Nggar. I followed Ella" Ardi ordered to Linggar.
The flag soon passed from them. While Ardi was still waiting for Ella to spend her pebble droplets patiently.
"Slowly eat it. At most just a procession of singing, blowing candles is the same cut doank cake." Ardi smiled seeing Ella eat in a hurry until her cheeks seemed to bulge.
Right after Ella finished her meal, Ardi thrust out a glass of orange juice which Ella immediately gulped down. "Thank you, Mom," said Ella. Put the plates and glasses on the table where the plates and used glasses are collected.
"Let's go there, it's not good if waiting for the crowd" Once again Ella felt restless, she was afraid that others thought she was hogging Ardi, preventing Ardi from gathering with her family.
"Aman, just singing. They need me the most if they cut the cake. Keep shooting sessions" replied Ardi casually.
When Ardi and Ella reached the center of the party crowd, Mama Ardi had blown a candle shaped number 55 on the big cake. Applause and cheers raced throughout the room for the lady of Kartika Pradana who is celebrating her fiftyth birthday this year.
The next step is to cut the cake. Mama Ardi with the help of a maid cut a slice of cake and put on a small plate.
"First cut for who's the mistress?" ask a man who served as the host today to Mama Ardi.
"To papa Erwin Pradana of course." Mama Ardi gave her cake to her husband. I fed my husband with that cake. The husband smiled widely and gave a sweet reply in the form of a light kiss on the woman's forehead. A really sweet couple despite being in their fifties.
"Second cut for who?" the MC asked again as soon as Kartika Pradana finished her second piece of cake and placed the cake on the plate.
"For my naughtiest son....Linggadjati... Here dear" Kartika handed her second plate to Linggar who had advanced standing beside her mother. He fed his son and gave him a cake plate. Linggar also replied by giving a warm kiss on the cheek of his mother.
"Third cut for who's mistress?" the MC again asked as soon as the maid finished her third piece of cake, put the cake on the plate and handed it to Kartika.
"For my most beautiful daughter...Larasati.. come to mama" Kartika handed her third plate to Laras who had stepped closer to her mother. She fed him her daughter and gave him a cake plate. Laras did not want to miss retaliating by giving a warm kiss on both cheeks of his mother.
"The fourth and final cut of the day for whom is Madam?" the MCs asked more dramatically. Maid then cut the cake into a fourth piece, placed the piece on a plate and handed it to the lady of Kartika Pradana.
"For my first son who was amazingly great...The Lazuardi... Come here son" Kartika called Ardi. Ardi takes his hand off Ella and asks Ella's permission to leave the girl for a moment. Ella answered him. Ardi walked over to his mother in the crowd.
"But tonight Ardi Pradana did not come alone, it seems like there was already a girl accompanying my son..." Kartika added. Ardi felt a little awkward with this announcement. When did your mom announce her relationship with Ella in public?
"Mayang Sari Hartanto's. Come here baby" said Mama Ardi this time can mute the entire room for a moment, so shocked. A few moments later the whole room became rowdy to mutter and comment.
It was as if there was lightning blaring and snatching Ella's body as soon as she heard not her name being called by Mama Ardi. It was not her who was called Ardi's companion. So it's true that Ardi's mom doesn't approve of her relationship with her son?
So Mama Ardi prefers Sari as his son's companion. And why should Sari? It wasn't Sari herself who introduced Ella to Ardi. Pain, pain, tightness and bitterness, all the uncomfortable flavors seemed to merge into one blasting into Ella's heart at once.
Ella felt tight, hard to breathe and suddenly her vision began to blur and indistinct, blocked by a thin layer of water. Ella's eyes were already teary at this moment, her tears like they could melt at any moment. The girl bit her lips and clenched her two knuckles to hold back her urgent tears from falling as hard as she could.
Sari suddenly appeared in the spotlight of the party with a mini dress in tuscany that looks fresh. The girl seemed a little confused as well with her name suddenly being called.
Kartika handed the cake plate in her hand to Sari who was already standing in front of her.
"For this last cake should be Sari who feeds Ardi" he said, who was immediately greeted enthusiastically by all guests present.
"But ma!..."
"But Budhe!"
Ardi and Sari protested Kartika's remarks almost simultaneously. But the atmosphere of the entire party room was already too rowdy and noisier. No one listened to and protested both of them.
"What about Tina's deck, Gatot Hartanto's deck? You don't mind if Ardi is with Sari? They've been familiar since they were little" Mama Ardi explained the conversation to a couple who were standing not far from him. It seems like both of them are the parents of Sari.
"I'm up to the kids" replied the woman called Tina earlier. And her husband agreed.
Ardi cursed and cursed in the heart of this deed of his mother. Her mother was so outrageous! But right now he was helpless, his position was completely stuck, it was impossible to resist or dodge this situation. The pride of too many people must be at stake if he dares to refuse this order of his mother. Maybe tomorrow he and his family will be in the news headline Radar Banyu Harum.
Sari also seemed to think the same as Ardi. He certainly did not dare to take risks that could humiliate his family and Pradana family at once. With a body gesture very clumsy and forced Sari finally stepped closer to Ardi. The girl fed Ardi with a spoonful of cake in her slightly trembling hand.
"Reply reply!!"
"Reply Reply Reply!!"
"Kiss kiss kiss kiss!!"
The audience who saw the show that deserves this drama is getting excited to demand Ardi to react to Sari's actions. Making Ardi inevitably have to react to give his response.
Gritting his teeth slightly and clenching his hands tightly Ardi approached Sari. Then Ardi gave a short light kiss on the girl's forehead.
The atmosphere of the room is becoming a scene made. Applause, muttering, screeches, praise and all sorts of commotion enliven the atmosphere.
Crushed...It was as if something was broken and broken to pieces in Ella to watch the mesrah scene of the two lovebirds. Scenes that are even as sweet as romantic scenes in koreya dramas. Ella's tears were unstoppable, melting and spilling all over her face.
Run...I gotta get out of here...That was all Ella had in mind right now. His brain felt so empty he could think of nothing more. His common sense was defeated by the pain that rained down in the depths of his heart...One thing he realized was that he had run away from the party room. Run and keep running out of the big house with more and more tears streaming from both eyes.
