Her night.
In the Dirgantara family residence, because the work at the office today is quite draining time, also coupled with several meetings with some of his business colleagues, he said, making Ansell exhausted until when he got home he immediately laid his body on a large sofa in the middle of his house.
Till..
“ANSELL.!” call his father in a high enough tone to make Ansell wake up instantly.
“settle yourself pah.” said the mother who tried to calm her husband.
Within seconds Ansell's drowsiness disappeared, he tried to get up from his sleep while holding his head for a moment because he felt a little dizzy being forcibly awakened like that.
Both parents were sitting on different couches waiting for their son to collect his life, and could start talking.
“papa, mama, already home. (his murmur then took a glass filled with mineral water on the table, and sipped it a few times before returning to speak)
Not that this is still far from the schedule of homecoming.” Imbabnya while putting the empty glass back to its original place.
“how now..?!
Do you still want to argue with your parents, after what that lowly woman did to you, Ansell.!” mukas Andrew while sharpening his gaze towards Ansell.
“chi..
How quickly the news reached papa, has papa been telling people to keep an eye on Ilona.?!” his stranglehold is no less sharp than the papa.
“KAU..!!” snapped her papa while trying to get up from the sofa but Carrisa the wife held her husband's arm to stay calm, so he sat back and regulated his emotions.
“Ansell, at least once you meet him yes, mommy beg you.” Pinta the gentle mother complete with a shady gaze that made Ansell's heart a little calmer.
“oke just like this, if indeed you still do not want to meet him even though he has met, mom and dad will give up. Mama won't force you anymore, how about.?” Carrisa tried to negotiate with her stubborn son.
“but mah.!” her husband disagrees with her decision.
“oke, I want to meet him.” Say Ansell steady.
“mama and papa must keep their promises, if I do not fit him, do not force me again to marry him.” Ansell continued.
“oke, we'll meet this weekend, yes. At Zeus hotel VVIP room, you must not be late at least you must show your respect, Ansell.” My mother said in the same tone.
“ok.”the response is short then get up from the sofa.
“wait..!
Don't you want to see it first in the photo.?” his papa said that made Ansell turn her body back.
“not necessary,
I've seen his childhood photos, and it's enough to make me. goosebumps.” he said then passed away.
“Just..!!
This kid really.!!” angered Andrew who then got up from the sofa, but again Carrisa prevented it.
“let the reward, you still do not understand the character of your son, violence will not work especially if you continue to suppress it like that. Because you guys have similar properties.” Carrisa said as she patted her husband's shoulder gently to calm him down.
Andrew the husband again tried to calm his anger and sat down at the original place with Carrisa sitting next to him again.
“ahh yes, which photos did Ansell see, mah.?” Andrew asked a little confused.
“ohh that, when I asked for photos of Ahreum, Enzy said she only sent photos of when Ahreum was small by Seno, hehe.” His mouth was accompanied by a crisp laugh.
***
A few days later.
Flower boutique, a boutique shop subscription Enzy, arguably who owns the boutique store is a friend of the campus first, that is why Enzy often shop for clothes in the boutique store.
In addition because the owner is his best friend, also the clothes are good and always follow the trend today. Until never once it looks lonely because of the many visitors who always come to see the latest models of clothing output.
“you have come.” greet Oliv, when he saw his sidekick opened his boutique door followed by his daughter who walked behind him.
“hey, Ahreum..
Looks like I just met you this time huh, you are so beautiful.” After greeting his sidekick, he immediately turned to Ahreum who was standing behind Enzy still with a large backpack on her back.
“thank you aunt.” Ahreum returned Oliv's greeting with a faint smile while bowing his head slightly.
“ayoo come in baby, auntie has prepared some dresses for you you can try everything.” Take Oliv while embracing Ahreum and walk into the fitting room.
“no need to be too open Oliv, instead I want to show his cute side.” Enzy said on her way to the fitting room.
“iyaa.. yes I know, you think I will choose a dress according to my taste, huh.” said.
“attract your bag Ahreum.” said the mother when she arrived at the fitting room.
Ahreum said, he took off the backpack on his back, then immediately approached some dresses that had been prepared by Oliv.
As with most people who are trying on some clothes, Ahreum will appear in a different dress from behind a small room where to change clothes. It was then shown to her mother and Oliv.
The change of clothes continues over and over again because both Enzy and Oliv still have not found a dress that matches the image of the cute Ahreum.
Up to the 5th dress, they both nodded in agreement and gave 4 thumbs at the same time. Made Ahreum exhale leganya, because the activities were quite tiring it was finally finished with her 5th dress.
A short pink dress with lace brucat that encircles the shoulders wide enough. Not enough with the dress she wore, Enzy also gave the task of makeup and styling her daughter's hair to Oliv's assistant.
“what is not excessive, ma'am.?” Ahreum asked who was sitting in front of the mirror waiting for Olive's assistant to prepare everything.
“engga really, you do not need to worry, I have told Oliv's assistant to give you a simple makeup, and your hair will be styled so that it is more tidy just not tied just like this.
Gpp yes dear..?” obviously the mother held Ahreum's shoulder from behind and looked at her daughter from the mirror before her.
“iya bu..” response.

Her night.
Hotel Zeus, more precisely in the VVIP room that has been determined before, the Dirgantara family was already present in the room, complete with Ansell who just came 1 minute ago.
The sound of the door of the room opened again, a female servant was opening the door for guests of the room. Ahreum family also sprang up 1 by one starting from Seno the father then the mother and Ahreum the last.
Until the father elbowed his body, trying to signal if he had to show respect to the Baghaskara family. Ansell got up from his seat lazily and greeted the Baghaskara family as he wished.
“waaah you look very handsome when seen directly yes.” Praise Seno the father of Ahreum.
Ansell only smiled fakely hearing him while bowing his respect, then switched to greet the enzyme who was beside Seno.
“Yes yes, it is lucky that you have a handsome son Ansell, Carrisa, I envy you, haha.” Timbrung Enzy laughed crisply, then sat down simultaneously with the others.
“ah yes introduce this Ahreum aunty princess, Ansell, this is your first time meeting right?.?” continued Enzy while showing Ahreum who was beside her.
When his gaze reached the girl, his reflexes were rounded as he recalled the incident a few days ago on the tragic night when he caught Ilona having an affair.
While the girl just smiled at Ansell, as if she did not remember the incident when they first met.
“you are hungry Ahreum..?
Let's better eat first.” take Carrisa.
Then one by one they began to take his food by throwing friendly smiles at each other. While Ansell still with his flat face as if he wanted to show everyone if he was really uncomfortable at this time.
“oh yes, I heard you were still in college huh Ahreum.?” Ask Andrew before eating his dinner.
“Iya om, I'm still 5 semesters this year.” Ahreum answered.
“how does Ansell, Ahreum look so beautiful right.?!” said the papa while pressing Ansell's shoes with his feet, like someone was giving a signal to answer the question correctly and not to speak.
“ahh.. i.iya that's it.” Ansell's slightly agonizing response and the fake smile she showed to add spice to her performance.
Ahreum who heard the compliment also returned a sweet smile.
----
30 Minutes later, after much talking, he had finished his dinner.
“oh yes, what if you two take a walk for a while, maybe you also need space to get to know each other instead.?” carrisa's suggestion, which was immediately enthusiastically responded by Enzy.
“Iya right, I agree, they might look awkward at the moment because there we are, right, if they are just the two maybe they can chat freely.” Excited enthusiastically.
But it seems Ansell was so dislike of the suggestion that she made an indirect rejection by glaring at her mother, hoping that she would retract her words.
“sorry Ahreum, this child is a shy person, so he is a lot of silent, but actually om sure if Ansell juka is interested in you. Yes, Ansell..!” Andrew emphasized at the end of his sentence as well as his two sharp eyes that made Ansell exhale his breath.
Ansell gave up and followed her parents' willingness to take Ahreum for a walk.
Both of them moved from their seats simultaneously and walked out of the room after saying goodbye to their families.
“ekhem.. (Anseel cleared his throat before trying to talk to the girl who was walking beside him)
I just want you to know, I don't want this matchmaking. So please tell both your parents to give up.” Ansell's Order.
“if that's what you want, you'll just cancel it.” Ahreum's response continued to walk out of the hotel.
“hahaha, I expected, you will definitely not just let go of me, yes also who will refuse to be betrothed to me.” Ocehnya while walking to follow where Ahreum stepped unconsciously.
“I don't care who it is, even if it's not you, I'll marry her.” His words were steady as he opened the door of the convenience store followed by Ansell who was still following him from behind.
“ciih..!!
You think I'm gonna believe your bullshit, I admit you're not so bad, but still you're not my type. Wait, this is where..?!” the thrill when it dawned if he was already inside a convenience store.
“ngapain you brought me here.?!” pekik Ansell who was still circulating his gaze in any direction.
While Ahreum prefers not to care and do things that have been planned beforehand, still hungry, the sweet girl decided to brew noodles complete with iced tea she took from the department store.
After adding hot water to his noodles, he immediately walked towards the seat in the corner of the room.
“hey..!!
You didn't listen to me, why did you bring me here.?!” he cried again while sitting in a chair beside Ahreum who was waiting for his noodles to mature.
Tuk. tuk.. Ahreum clapped his fingers on the table and set his eyes out the window.
“AHREUM.!” snapped Ansell was annoyed that the girl just kept ignoring her.
“I don't need to be your type, because marriage was just a condition for a silly appointment in the past. So I hope you can work together for the wedding, just for a few years, after that we can split up, right.?” he said at length trying to persuade Ansell.
“so you thought marriage was just a game.?!” ansell screeched in disbelief that Ahreum would tell her that.
“then you yourself decided to cancel it.” Ahreum responds while stirring his noodles that are ready to be eaten.
“didn't you eat earlier.?” Ansell instead diverted his talk when he saw Ahreum start eating the noodles he made.
“although there are many good foods, but I can't eat as much as my stomach. It would be embarrassing.” he said.
“ciih..!
You have 2 masks apparently, there you look like a graceful and sweet girl, but.”
“you have never heard of a saying that says, if the man has 3 masks. First the mask is shown to everyone, second to close friends also family, and the third.”.
“third what.?!” He asked curiously because Ahreum stopped talking.
“which you see at this time.” he said as he glanced at Ansell with both sharp eyes.
Ansell was silent for a moment as if her entire body was frozen, even to breathe was so heavy, that..
“AHHaahahaaa.!” ahreum's laughter broke when he saw Ansell who looked scared to death.
“you're scared apparently, hahaha, so funny.” Imbuh Ahreum, making Ansell able to breathe normally again knowing Ahreum only fill him.
“it's not funny at all tau.!!” ketus Ansell upset while folding both hands on it and turned his face that still looked nervous.
“follow what our parents will do, I promise I won't bother you and you won't have to be burdened by my presence,
I mean, if you refuse this matchmaking because you have someone, you don't have to worry because I won't forbid you from connecting with anyone.
Let's just say we're only 2 people who happen to live together.” Clearly again complete with a sweet smile at the end makes Ansell's heart feel disturbed.
