About four days passed. Slightly missed the estimates of Jeffri and Adrian before. With all due consideration, the two sides finally decided to meet.
Since morning Clara's two best friends, Friska and Valerie, have been busy bringing Clara to their salon subscription. The salon is owned by a famous makeup artist, who has had high flying hours.
The client is not an arbitrary person. Starting from office children, crazy rich, to capital artists. Clara was dandy there and happened to be yesterday Valerie had prepared the most luxurious and certainly expensive dress for the woman.
But, there was not the least bit of happy look on Clara's face that day. So that the beautiful makeup is like less than a few percent. He still remembers Ferdi and misses him a lot over the last four days.
He did not try to contact Ferdi, and Ferdi did. Presumably the young man had indeed been steady to accept the arranged marriage that his parents had arranged. Or just being happy to get away from Clara who is a widow.
"Lo why the hell, say?" valerie asked Clara.
"Definitely still think of the crowd ghosting right?" Friska.
"Somewhat a bego."
Clara stood up while trying hard to smile. It turns out that pretending to be tough really feels torturous.
"Ngapain anyway, still thought of" said Valerie again.
"Tau, he just left lo. Don't believe it, Cla." Again and again Friska chimed.
While MUA continues to do the final finishing on the makeup on Clara's face.
"The old ones sometimes leave, especially the ones who flocked." continued Friska.
Clara is silent, now her mind turns to the man that Glenca will introduce to her. He wondered why Glenca refused to give him the photo of the man she was about to introduce. Clara asked for it several times.
Glenca said it was for a surprise. And he also said that if the man he wanted to introduce, it would definitely make Clara like it automatically. Because he said again the man was very good looking and high quality.
But Clara was a little hesitant and scared. Afraid when what Glenca said turned out to be a zone.
But back again, he really needs a husband figure at this time. In his interest, he overthrew the former. Therefore according to him, it is okay no matter what the man looks like.
"Well, it's done with Clara. Look in the glass."
MUA who dressed Clara dodged the glass she had been behind. Clara, Friska, and Valerie were both able to see how beautiful the woman reflected in front of the mirror was.
"Crazy, beautiful." Valerie said with a smile, as well as Friska.
Clara just kept trying to smile.
"Yes, now we help you wear the most expensive and most luxurious clothes in my heart" said Valerie.
So Clara went and wore the dress that her best friend had prepared.

While at a super fancy restaurant, a fairly large room has been rented by Adrian. As promised, he did not want Jeffri's family to look embarrassed in front of Clara.
Although the company is in trouble. But at least Jeffri is not a soap opera character torment Indosi@r. Which if it falls poor then until the savings money will run out without rest, and the clothes used turn into holes by itself.
They still have the honor, let alone to achieve greater profits. It's okay to spend more for all that.

"Ma, ma'am. We have to go."
Frans said at the door of the mother's room. Before long Aini came out with her elegant and super luxurious robe.
"This is what you want to apply for, that's a girl what's mama anyway?" Frans.
Aini was indifferent and immediately looked away, while Frans just shook his head while laughing.
"Uhuk."
"Uhuk."
He was really tired, when the schedule of meeting with the widow had a deal. And now he is preparing himself for it.
He was neat, yet so lazy to step out of the room. For the shadow of Clara now continues to pass in her and her mind. The young man's heart ached, remembering his life which was not his own choice.
"Ferdi, hunt said papa. We're leaving."
Frans shouted from below. Ferdi then took a deep breath and noticed himself in the glass. The only way he should be calm in the face of all this. He got down and the family left in two cars.
Jeffri and Aini are in the main car, which is currently being held by the driver. Ferdi was in another car with Frans.
They set out, and along the way Ferdi remained silent. He smoked a Vape pod or e-cigarette, although still coughing and his breathing was quite tight.
"Are you ok?" frans asked his sister.
Ferdi did not answer. This has made Frans think about the actual condition of Ferdi. Behind the calmness and rigidity that he had been showing since.
Within a few minutes, Jeffri's family and Ferdi had arrived at the location. Adrian and his family had been there first. There was also Nadia Frans' lover there.
"Gue wants to go to the toilet" said Ferdi, as Jeffri and Aini sat on two available chairs.
"Sama, I too." - Frans.
Ferdi did feel lazy to interact that day. He went to the toilet for an excuse to sit down and calm down. While Frans did want to do it, because it has not been able to urinate since the trip earlier.
When they both came out of the toilet, Frans approached Ferdi, who continued to smoke an e-cigarette in a corner. Frans then tried to make his sister feel strong, by giving him advice and encouragement.
While outside, Clara's side had already arrived. He was surprised to see Jeffri and Adrian there. Because he had attended the event held by the two people some time ago.
Glenca introduces Jeffri as well as Aini and Adrian, as the parents or guardians of the men she will introduce to Clara that day.
But Jeffri then opened a conversation, that since he first met with Clara at his company's event at that time. He was already interested in making Clara his son-in-law.
Of course with a certain intention behind, but he did not explain the intention. He only asked Clara to be his daughter-in-law in a serious tone of speech.
Aini as the mother also added that her son and Jeffri are good children, and indeed all their children are betrothed. Aini said they deliberately sought a mate, so that their children did not fall in love with the wrong person.
That day all acted in accordance with their respective roles, just for the sake of making the match run smoothly.
Clara is now forced to respond to Aini and Jeffri's remarks by berkilah. He said he was looking for a companion to look after and protect himself.
At all he did not tell me, if he wanted to marry randomly for the sake of the company.
Glenca himself had cut off the conversation and told Clara, if the prospective family had known she was a widow with three children. Because Clara was about to say that but hesitated.
"We don't look at the status of widows. For us the widow is not a disgrace" said Aini, clasping Clara's hand. For this, Aini and Ferdi's family are sincere. They never look at single people or widows.
Clara felt more and more haru, but suddenly her heart ached for Ferdi. It was still Ferdi who was in his heart at the moment, even though the man had abandoned him.
"Oh yeah, we didn't see which father?" valerie told Jeffri and Adrian.
Just as Jeffri was about to reply, Ferdi suddenly appeared with Frans.
"This is the man" said Aini, clapping Ferdi's hand, as Ferdi was standing next to his mother and was about to head to a chair.
"Ferdi, it's Clara" Jeffri said.
Even when time freezes. Clara was surprised to see Ferdi and Frans, and vice versa. Ferdi's body trembled, not believing what he saw. While Frans himself as in a stab from the back to penetrate to the heart.
"Clar." Those words just came out of Ferdi's mouth.
"Fe, Ferdi." Clara answered emotionally. It was as if his cry was about to explode right then and there.
Immediately Ferdi approached and hugged Clara tightly and vice versa.
While Jeffri and Adrian and others are not moving. Only their eyes blinked in shock.
