Forced Marriage Alea
PPA 10# Grateful and sincere

While walking up the stairs to the kitchen, Alea and Bi Mimah came across one of the house assistants. Bi Mimah then asked the housekeeper to gather all the workers in the kitchen right now.

Alea's eyes seemed to be treated to an exotic scene that had long been one of his dreams, when setting kakinua in the kitchen. He always wanted to have a house with complete cooking utensils as he sees it today. The kitchen with all its equipment is like a gallery chef in a cooking competition show on television. There are many supporting equipment to juggle the ingredients into a tempting dish like a high-end restaurant.

"Wah Bi, the equipment is complete well. The kitchen is also spacious. It would be nice to be creative here" Alea said spontaneously with intense interest emanating from both eyes.

"Of course Non Alea can use this kitchen whenever Non Alea wants it," Bi Mimah said making Alea carve a smile on her face.

Bi Mimah then gave instructions to one of the chefs in the kitchen to make a dinner for Alea. After that he introduced Alea to all the workers in the house who had gathered in the kitchen. Alea tried to braze the names and their duties in the house inside her head.

"But if Non Alea needs something, Non Alea can tell me," said the middle-aged woman who turned out to be the head of the housekeeper there.

After that Bi Mimah took Alea to the living room filled with various antiques and luxury.

Alea's eyes probed the entire corner of the room. His eyes were fixed on the large frame attached to the wall, a frame that contained many unfamiliar faces of Alea inside.

"This is the whole family of Den Ravka Non," Bi Mimah said pointing to the frame that Alea noticed. "Non Alea knows anyone?"

"It's just Ravka and her parents, Bi" Alea replied, leaving Bi Mimah flabbergasted. However, he quickly changed the water of his face as if he did not care.

The middle-aged woman then told Alea one by one the faces in the family photo.

"There are many who live in this house. But how come Al hasn't seen anyone since?" Alea asked realized that from earlier what she had seen pacing back and forth inside the house were only the workers in the house.

"Didn't Non Alea know that Den Alex, Madam Erika's son is married today?"

"Married? today?" Alea muttered while shaking his head. Although only murmurs came out of his mouth, but Bi Mimah was able to catch what Alea was questioning.

"Yes Non, This afternoon Den Alex is married to Non Sherly," Bi Mimah said hesitantly when referring to Sherly by name. However, considering that Alea knew nothing about her employer's family, the middle-aged woman guessed that the girl before her was certainly not aware of Sherly either.

"Therefore, everyone now goes to attend Den Alex's wedding, as well as his reception held tonight" Bi Mimah explained.

Alea pias' face instantly realized that not only was she about to enter a new life becoming part of this family, but there would be other women who seemed much more welcome in this family.

What is all this punishment for this unintentional mistake? Or because they don't like me? But why did they force me to marry Ravka, if they did not accept my presence in their family? - Alea's mind raged. He had to start preparing his heart for a state that was even worse than he had expected.

"Non Alea why?" Bi Mimah asked worriedly as she looked at Alea's blank stare.

"Eh no Bi, it's okay," Alea said waking up from her daydream. He forced a smile to adorn his lips, trying to cover the anxiety that arose when he realized his position in this house.

"Non Alea really is okay?" Tanya Bi Mimah was concerned. He seemed to be able to feel Alea's disappointment clearly drawn on the face of the girl he was trying to cover up.

He felt enamored with this innocent and simple looking girl. Bi Mimah could realize that she was feeling disappointed and neglected, but she tried not to complain and still reviewed the awkward-looking smile on her lips.

Despite not knowing the problems that happened to this girl with the family of Mr. Dinata, but he felt called to be able to provide support to the young girl in front of him.

"Yes Bi, Al is okay," Alea replied after being able to control herself. Close the ambushing disappointment with the cheerful smile she was feeding. He should be excited about his day at home.

"Remember Al, always do good and plant that goodness in your heart. Because that goodness will come back to you"

The words of her mother that Alea held in living her life after being abandoned by her parents. And all this time he was fine going through his life holding on to his mother's advice.

"And do not forget to always be grateful for what God has given you. Do everything sincerely as a form of your gratitude" said his father before leaving him for good.

This is what he will do in this house. Thankful for whatever happened in his life. There were still many who were far more unlucky than him. He should be grateful and sincere in living all that Almighty has laid out for his life.

"It looks like the chef has finished preparing dinner. Non Alea wants to eat now? Let me prepare," asked Bi Mimah later.

"By Bi. We eat together. Bi Mimah accompanied me to eat," Alea said. He turned his face once more on the faces inside the frame. The faces that will be a part of his life after this. Although it was unthinkable to him what kind of life he would live.

Alea then stepped into the kitchen with Bi Mimah beside her. Stabbing dinner at his new abode in luxury, yet lonely. It made his heart beat faster than when Uncle and Aunt brought him home to live there after his parents' funeral.

In his breath deep. Once again he had to adapt and adjust to the new environment from the beginning back.
