ENTANGLED IN THE LOVE OF A WHIPPED HERBAL SELLER
Awkwardly..

Tio had no choice but to join his parents to meet Maimunah.

Likewise, what is happening to Mutia, Mutia is also forced to join her parents in a dinner event, where Mutia will be reunited with the children of her mother's friends.

Such a misunderstanding occurs between Mutia and Tio, which results in them getting hurt thinking each one already has a partner. Making both of them unable to do anything when both parents urge them to attend a dinner that leads to an arranged marriage.

Anatolian Resto.

The place that the Tio family chose to have a meeting with the Maimunah family.

Those who had just sat down and immediately got a drink and some snacks, made Tio feel groggy and chose to go to the toilet.

Just as Tio went to the toilet, the Maimunah family came and greeted Tio's parents immediately.

"Maimunah, long time no see more beautiful," praised Mama Tio.

"Yes, obviously, she's beautiful, you forgot who her mother is and what her beautiful mother looks like?" said Mama Maimunah who is none other than Mutia.

Mutia, whose long name is Maimunah nur Mutia, makes Tio not know if the Maimunah who will be paired with him is Mutia.

In the bathroom, Tio calls Tolip to find a way for Tio to escape his encounter with Maimunah.

"Oh boss, it's quick to see who knows Maimunah has a beautiful face" Tolip said across the phone.

"No, no. From the name alone it is impossible for the woman named Maimunah to look beautiful. He must be from the village."

"Did the Boss forget that Mutia was from the village and made the Boss feel in love?"

Tio who was reminded of Mutia suddenly felt sad and immediately turned off his call.

"I have to get out of here." Lirih Tio's.

Tio walked out of the bathroom slowly and kept looking to the right and left hoping that his parents would not know if he was planning to run away.

Tio made it through the toilet aisle and now looking behind, Tio noticed that both her parents were joking with laughter along with one other couple.

"That must be Maimunah's parents, but why didn't I see Maimunah there? is Maimunah also like me who does not want to get married because of an arranged marriage?"

"Or what if it turns out Maimunah had prepared a surprise when I got there?"

Tio kept at war with his own thoughts until he decided to leave immediately.

Brake !!

Tio who kept looking back accidentally hit a woman until she fell.

"Sorry, I accidentally bumped into you, are you okay?"

Tio helped the woman he hit, Tio was completely shocked to see the woman he hit was Mutia.

"Mutia?"

"Tio?"

Instantly an awkward feeling approached the two.

My God, if Mutia was alone I might have hugged her and dragged her in my parents' shirts so my parents wouldn't have me with a woman named Maimunah.

Tio, if only you knew that I also love me and really hope to be in a relationship that we have not had time to live. But I realized that if it was too late, you already had another woman who is now the happiest woman for being your lover.

Both are silent because they are at war with their own thoughts.

"Mutia, what a joy it is to meet you here."

"Yes, I also didn't expect that I would meet you accidentally here."

"By the way, what are you doing here?" Jeez Tio, what question are you asking right now? Isn't it very rude of you to ask such a question to a woman who already has a lover.

"Are you with your girlfriend?"

"Love? sorry."

"Ah yes, I'm sorry. Sometimes my mouth can't control what I'm talking about."

"No problem."

"Well, then I have to leave because I don't want your boyfriend to misunderstand if he sees us both" Tio said

Tio then chose to leave Mutia. Mutia then recalled the time Amar said that she met Tio and introduced herself as Mutia's lover.

"Tio, Amar and I don't have any relationship like you've ever heard."

Sret !!

Tio's footsteps that had been several inches walking left Mutia, stopped and walked backwards until he was faced with Mutia again.

"I know, you must have thought that Amar and I were lovers after Amar told you? but trust me that Amar and I don't have a special relationship."

"really?" ask Tio.

"Yes, I just wanted to convey that when I had the chance to meet you. I know that you've misunderstood me and Amar."

Tio was feeling so happy that he was eager to hug Mutia.

"I have to go. May you be happy with your partner."

Now it was Mutia's turn to leave Tio because she felt that she already had a partner.

"I don't have a partner yet, Mutia. Just so you know if I've been looking for you everywhere. My dear, when I accidentally met you. I saw you with Amar and I suspected that you and he were really lovers. Even more so when I saw Amar showing you a ring."

Mutia who initially listened then laughed out loud when she heard what Tio said.

"Sorry."

"Mutia, I haven't had a partner like you just said. I've told you before that you're the only woman who can shake my heart."

"Tio, if only we met at the right time. Unfortunately we met at a time when I was about to face the person whom I was betrothed to."

"Are you going to get married?" ask Tio.

"Yes, and now both my parents and the two men's parents are in this restaurant. That's why I'm here."

Tio looked at Mutia as he did not expect that Mutia was the same as him who was having a meeting to be betrothed by his parents.

"Are you going to accept the man your parents will be betrothed to?" ask Tio.

"I don't know, they say this is a normal meeting and I can refuse if it turns out that he and I don't have a match."

"Then why don't you now just reject and oppose this matchmaking?"

"What do you mean?" ask Mutia.

"Come, come with me to see my parents before you meet your parents. We're both gonna defy this matchmaking, and announce that we're lovers."

"What?"

Tio pulled Mutia's hand and immediately led her towards her parents' table.
