Forgetting the Ex
Chapter 34

"Mom, there's something I want to talk about" Sabrina said as Mila enjoyed the television broadcast.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Mas Arvan wants to propose to me," Sabrina replied carefully.

"Oh" said Mila briefly.

"Why oh?" sabrina was confused.

"What do you want to answer then?"

"Well answer me 'yes, surprised or happy." Sabrina.

"Mom knows that Arvan will propose to you." Mila.

"When did Mas Arvan say it?"

"It was a long time ago, a few months ago, he also met your father" Mila replied.

"So, Mas Arvan has already talked about this. Why didn't you tell me?"

"Son, you run the wedding. So we leave it all to you" replied Mila.

"This means, it's not a surprise for you guys anymore dong, he's been talking," Sabrina said a little annoyed.

Mila laughed at her daughter's face. "Arvan took our hearts first, but not yet yours. So the decision is in your hands, accept it or not. The boy seems responsible and loves you, the evidence of him secretly meeting us" he said.

Sabrina hugged her mother's body from the side. "Restui us, Mom!"

"Mother bless you, tell her to meet us with her family" said Mila.

"Yes, Mom. Tomorrow I'll talk to him" Sabrina said.

"Thank you, Mom."

"Have you fallen in love with her?" ask Mila curious.

Sabrina nodded her head.

"Finally, Mother's daughter has moved on," said Mila relieved.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

This morning Arvan picked up Sabrina, the man will faithfully be a private driver to get closer to his shrine.

"The car is still in the workshop, we ride the bike again" he said.

"It's okay, Mom. Most important to me, to the workplace." Sabrina.

They also headed to the store. At the crossroads, the motor stopped. A black car stopped its tracks right next to her, Sabrina knew if it belonged to her former in-laws judging by the license plate of her vehicle.

"Sabrina!" call Yana to open the car glass

The woman looked towards the voice.

"You got on a motorbike?" Linda began to quip, the woman sitting in the driver's side seat.

Sabrina simply answered with a smile.

"Pity him now, Ma. Apart from Judis there was even such a man," Yana quipped.

Arvan turned his head and just kept quiet because Sabrina did the same.

"Mas, move!" sabrina's orders whispered.

Arvan proposes his motorbike because the traffic light is green.

Yana and Linda also continue on their way, as the horn sounds from behind are mutual.

"It's so arrogant of him, Ma." Yana Saying.

"Don't think about it, after all, she's just Judis' ex-wife. Our goal now is to have Judis separated from Nora, her secretary," Linda said.

"Yes, Ma. What 'sih did Judis see from Nora?" ask Yana.

"Okay, Mama doesn't know either. Stella seems to have given up pursuing Judis, too" lamented Linda.

"Why don't you give them back?" asked Arvan who was still on the running bike.

"For what, Mom?"

"Their words have crossed the line" said Arvan.

"Mas, let them. I'm lazy to argue, just embarrassed." Sabrina.

"You are so good" said Arvan.

"Because I'm healthy, ma'am." Sahut Sabrina though not connected.

"You're funny too" said Arvan.

"Don't talk to me, Mas. I'll be late" Sabrina said.

"Sorry, Miss. All right, we're gonna speed. Hold the strong," Arvan drove his motor speeding.

Sabrina, who was starting to get scared, hit Arvan on the shoulder.

"Mas, slow!" his yell.

The arvan also reduced the speed. He laughed at the frightened Sabrina.

"Laugh, you want to cancel the proposal?" ask Sabrina ketus.

Arvan stopped the motor. "What did you say?"

"Say what?" Sabrina forgot.

"You said about the proposal" said Arvan.

"So I'm accepted?" asked Arvan with a happy face.

"Yes, Mum."

"Next night we're going to your house" said Arvan.

"Why so fast? I must be overwhelmed to prepare dishes for you," Sabrina said.

"Then, tomorrow night."

"Yes, tomorrow night!"

"Are you not hungry? It's lunchtime" Nora said.

"I'm not hungry yet, if you want to eat. Please!"

"Do I need to buy food?" nora Tawal.

"No, no" Judis refused.

Nora left her boss in her room, and went to the office cafeteria to enjoy lunch with other employees.

"Where's your boss who's a cool widower?" ask Lina, Nora's friend.

"It's still busy in his room" he replied.

"Looks like you guys fit in," chirped Noni.

Nora laughed then said, "The name is fierce!"

"Have you met?" ask Lina.

"Then, on Saturday, I and Mr. Judis went to his house in town B" Nora replied.

"Well, it's serious." Noni Sahut.

"He told me to pretend to be his girlfriend" Nora said.

"Why pretend?" ask Noni.

"Because Mr. Judis does not want to be betrothed, let alone he still loves his ex-wife." Obviously Nora.

"What are they divorcing for?" Lina curious.

"Because of Mama Pak Yudis" answered Nora.

"If I had in-laws, I couldn't stand them either" said Noni.

"That's it, so am I." Nora Yell.

"Hopefully I get a kind-hearted in-law" Lina hoped.

"Me too" said Noni.

"Sama, me too." Nora rubbed both of her palms on her face.

Enjoy lunch with your friend,

nora's phone rang.

"Hello, Sir!" said it.

"Get me some food and deliver it now!" judis's orders then closed his call.

"Huf..!"

"Who?" ask Lina.

"Other bosses, ask for food." Answer Nora.

"Here you quickly bring him food, can pass out later" said Noni.

"Now also eat half," complained Nora. He also ordered soto rice and parchment for Judis while waiting for her to eat the rest of her rice that had not been exhausted in a hurry.

After eating, Nora stepped quickly into the room of Judis. He brought a plate containing rice and parchment and a bowl with the contents of soto sauce with chicken suwiran.

"Father said I didn't want to eat, I was in a hurry to have lunch" Nora protested.

"Who said he didn't want to eat? I'm just not hungry yet" said Judis.

"Yes, Sir. I was wrong" Nora said. "Then I get permission to go back to work" he continued.

"You accompany me to eat" Judis asked.

"All right, sir." Reply Nora lazily.

The woman was waiting for Judis to eat, she also provided water at her superior's desk.

"My mom wants to see you again" said Yudis, opening a conversation that had stopped because he was eating again.

"Well, what for?"

"She wants to ask you something" he replied.

"But what do I have to answer?" Nora was confused.

"I'll help you to answer questions from Mama" she replied.

"If we get caught just pretending, how?" He also began to worry.

"You take it easy, you won't get caught. If it happens 'yes we must get married" said Yudis casually.

"No, Sir. I reject you!" nora said with an annoyed face.
