Coming home greeted by a sharp gaze from Gerald was one thing Hanna had predicted. Although the girl had already prepared herself and her nervous answer was still difficult to overcome.
“Where are you from?” gerald asked in a cold voice and a sharp look that led seriously to Hanna. To amplify the intimidating aura from him, Gerald also folded his front chest hand.
Making Hanna have to gulp repeatedly, in order to calm down.
“I ... abis out. Streets.” Hanna answered as Salina had taught her, to make Gerald even more angry. “Why do you like to set-up me?”
Hanna intends to end this as soon as possible, because she can not bear to look at Gerald's anger any longer. The girl can't.
So, Hanna tries to pass through Gerald's body standing facing her in front of the door. It was about to break through, but Gerald very easily blocked the girl's wrist.
Hanna had not been allowed to digest her husband's actions, when the girl's body was carried moving without direction, then stopped when her back was pressed against the wall. Meanwhile, Gerald immediately closed the chance of Hanna's movement by standing right next to his wife. The distance between them is removed perfectly as Gerald steps forward until the tips of their shoes meet.
“Hanna,” call Gerald in a low voice while bowing to meet the face and direction of their faces.
However, Hanna kept her head down in order to avoid Gerald. In addition to being seen ignoring the cousin, Hanna must also secure herself from a loud thump in the chest due to the actions of this young man.
“Gerald, I'm going to room.”
“Wait a minute, because I want to talk.” Gerald coldly replied. “Where are you from? Answer, with, honestly!”
“Streeting. I answered earlier,” replied Hanna firmly.
Gerald raised next to his eyebrows, doubting clearly the answer of the girl.
“But not honest.” Gerald replied with a cynical tone.
“You can read people's minds? Naw? So, don't be so smart!” Hanna immediately shifted Gerald's body from before her.
The young man seemed resigned to letting Hanna find her own way, and left the cage earlier. In place of standing sculpting, Gerald just looked at the departure of the back wrapped in the army green blouse, until it disappeared from view after arriving on the second floor.
Gerald sighed, rubbing his face violently.
Then, with his jaw firmly fixed perfectly, Gerald also walked quickly. First close and lock the door of the house, then follow Hanna to the room.
Gerald found the room empty when he arrived, making him hesitate for a moment. However, hearing the sound of the shower being lit from the bathroom, Gerald began to look relieved.
The young man closed the door of the room without turning around in the slightest. Then lock it in a very slow motion, almost without sound. He walked cautiously towards the nightstand, where Hanna's phone was.
Gerald looked very relaxed as he carried the thing sitting with him. He checked the messaging, and his fingers were very agile tapping on the name of the mother, for the sake of reading the message there.
As Gerald used to do, almost every night.
And at once, he found the last message from Salina that made Gerald's eyes become sharp, issuing a great anger.
Aunt Salina :
What do you think of Rayhan, Hanna? He asked you to come to Auntie, and Aunt hasn't told you about your marriage.
Who knows, he's the best mate for you, Hanna. Same with your character.
Better than Gerald.
Supposedly, Gerald was just reading the message. As usual.
But this time not.
Gerald could not prevent his own hand from typing a reply.
^^Hanna :
^^^
^^^Mama mending prepare herself so grandmother starting today.
^^^
^^^
After pressing ‘kirim’ for the two messages, Gerald turned off the phone. He put it back on the nightstand, then looked straight at the bathroom door.
Right after the door opened from the inside, Gerald also stood up. So that Hanna who had just come out, was petrified on the spot.
In fact, the girl retreated spontaneously as Gerald moved forward while pulling the black jersey off her body.
“G—Gerald ..” Hanna squeaked in fear, but could not stop her cousin's movements.

“What according to Papa his approach Kania same Gerald in the office?” Salina asked as she was having dinner with her husband at the dinner table.
“Regularly, Ma.” Fauzan replied nonchalantly without stopping his eating activities altogether.
Both of Salina's shoulders were instantly limp, so her hands seemed to be not excited at all to lift the spoon and fork.
“Let's go, Ma, if Gerald is dating Hanna. We can what?” Fauzan offered to give up, which immediately raised the spirit of the wife again.
“Now, Pa. They are not fools at all. It's just a small incident. If Gerald can be away from Hanna, he can PDKT same Kania and can definitely fall in love with Kania. Kania is more up to standard than Hanna,” explained Salina regarding her opinion on the mate of the son. “For that, they must be brought closer, with no Hanna among them. Mama tried to let Hanna stay away from Gerald. Mama plans to take him to Rayhan, Pak Kamil's son. May aja—“
“Ma ..” Fauzan immediately called in a serious tone to warn his wife. “Rayhan already has a fiancee, Ma. Why did Mama even make Hanna's life more complicated, with her deketin all sorts of Rayhan? Papa though nerima him if he wants to work at Papa's company. Mama why even move someone else, instead of asking Hanna to work at Papa's company?”
“New fiancee too, Pa, it doesn't matter if Hanna turns out to be a match for Rayhan. Although Mama can't bless Hanna and Gerald, Mama still wants to choose the best for Hanna. Rayhan is the right choice,” said Salina full of confidence, as well as a mysterious smile on her lips. “Moreover, Rayhan also looks interested in Hanna. It'll be easier than you think.”
Fauzan could only cluck a few times to hear the words of his wife.
“Mama want to choose the best, or want to drag Hanna to a more difficult problem?” fauzan asked in a soft voice as if he was just talking to himself.
“Papa will not understand!” Salina reply sharp. “Ah, Papa makes males!”
Salina moved from her seat after drinking two sips of water. He left the dining room, headed for the room. Picking up his phone, and finding a shocking message from his niece's contact. However, recognizing the way of writing there that was different from usual, Salina was immediately convinced.
That the message was answered by the child.
Rather than typing an answer message, Salina moved to Kania's contact. Sending her a message as her direction for tomorrow.
Salina :
Tomorrow, Auntie will keep Gerald busy at work. You're keeping him, right?
However, after the message was sent, Salina seemed dissatisfied. The progress of this standard plan will be very long, while Salina is also competing with time. Don't let this forced marriage turn into a rut between Gerald and Hanna, creating comfort, and slowly turning into feelings of mutual affection.
If that happens, it will all get harder.
So, Salina tried to break down a rather dangerous plan.
Salina :
Tomorrow we will come home. Aunty wants medicine for Gerald. You will love him secretly. He doesn't like to eat medicine.
Temenin him later yes, do not get far away.
If Hanna and Gerald's marriage is intertwined over an accident, then Salina can also make Kania and Gerald's relationship over an accident.
The drawer of the cabinet at the very bottom was opened, where some medicines were located. Salina scrambled the contents, and took out a small box, and took out one board from there that contained four blue-colored medicinal pills.
Salina gulped roughly, appearing to hesitate for a moment. However, he did not want to stop his plan.
