HATE Before LOVE
No one can hold back Madam Hanna.

Finally they arrived at Ardan's old man's mansion. The tall white pillars stood like sturdy fortresses. The distance from the main fence to the door of the house is also quite far. Although this was the second time Elif came to the house, still he could not cover his admiration to see a house that was as big as a palace, the courtyard was very spacious, many shady trees, and many, a comfortable gazebo under one of the shady trees, fountains, there is even a greenhouse where various kinds of flowers are there.

Teddy stepped on the brakes and pulled the handbrake lever as soon as they arrived in front of the entrance. Mr. Sukri, the head of the ART house has been standing there, waiting for the arrival of his young master.

"Welcome, Young Master" said Mr. Sukri very politely. "Miss Elif."

"How are you, Mr Sukri?" ask Elif.

"Okay, miss, thank you. I hope Miss Elif is good too." Sahut Pak Sukri's.

"Yes sir, thank you."

"What are Mom and Dad doing, sir?" ask Ardan.

"Mister and Master are waiting for you in the backyard, Mister."

"good. Come on." Ardan gently pulled the Elif's hand. They're heading straight for the backyard. How astonished Elif saw what they passed to go to the backyard. During the first visit, Elif just went straight into the house, yes as big as the palace, he did not know that in the back of the house it was more surprising.

"You got a stall?" Elif until he opened his eyes saw several stables complete with a large field for the horses to run.

"Papa has, not me." Ardan corrected very casually. "Are you ready to see my mom again?"

Elif nodded.

Ardan and Elif approached a gazebo in the backyard, close to a large swimming pool. Mr. Demir and Mrs Hanna were seen talking casually while enjoying their respective fruit juices.

"Ma, Pa," Call Ardan.

"Ah, you have come" said Lady Hanna looking at Ardan and Elif who were walking over.

"Come here, sit here, the air today is so good to relax. Not too hot, not too cloudy." said Mr. Demir.

Seeing how Mama Ardan was dressed even if only at home and sitting casually made Elif feel insecure for a moment. Lady Hanna looks so fashionable with a very elegant house dress, her hair is arranged so neatly, soft makeup make up makes the middle-aged woman look so beautiful.

"Are you healthy, Elif? You look very pale." asked Lady Hanna so Ardan and Elif sat in the gazebo with them.

"Sa. I'm fine, Auntie."

"Ardan, you know what the hell, you said Elif was your future wife, when her face turned so pale? Didn't you ever ask Elif for a facial treatment?"

"Eh-h"

"Yes Ma, later."

"Facial care is important, Elif. Not just women, men too. You look at me, who knows I'm 57. A lot of people think I'm still in my 30s." said Mrs Hanna.

Mr. Demir chuckles to hear how his wife nyerocos when it comes to beauty and the importance of caring for the skin of the face and body.

"Yes, Auntie is so young." Praise Elif very sincerely, because that is the reality.

"Skincare, sunscreen, lots of healthy food and lots of water, that's the key. Don't underestimate skincare at all."

"Yes Aunt."

"You too Ardan, take your future wife to the salon, buy skincare. You will be a couple in the media spotlight, you must appear with a healthy and glowing face. What's more, if the media has compared you to Ardan's ex, you could be out later on bull-tied"

"Ma," Cut Ardan. "Can stop talking about skincare what else until it spreads to Marsha." Ardan Pinta. "Mama and Papa didn't even ask why me and Elif came."

"Surely Mama should ask Mama's son who came home, "Do you want to come here?" That so?" Lady Hanna's.

"It's not like that, I'm coming with Elif."

"Your mom's right, son. Why should we ask what you want to come? It's weird then. Hahaha isn't Elif?"

Elif just smiled.

"You came with Elif, we didn't think it was strange. Elif is your future wife, it's not natural that you come with Elif." said Mrs Hanna. "Marsha you used to ignore often came here alone without you, and Mama never asked if she would come. What else is ca-"

"Ma, why always compare Elif with Marsha. My mom doesn't like him either." Ardan Protest.

"That's what Mama means, people that Mama doesn't like just keep Mama here as long as it's related to you. What else Elif, your future wife, of course Mama-"

"Did Mama bless me and Elif?" cut Ardan again.

"Ish you why you always cut Mama talk! Of course Mama and Papa bless you. You think Mama's been trying to match you up for what? And it turned out that Elif came and answered Mama's prayer. You finally decided to get married!"

"Where do you know that Elif and I are getting married?"

Mr. Demir chuckled crisply. "Of course, you've introduced Elif as a future wife, what's the point if not for marriage, right?"

"Is Ardan like this in the office, Elif?" Lady Hanna asked Elif.

"No Aunt, Ardan is very respected and feared." replied Elif.

Lady Hanna clucked, "Truly doubtful, you know, sometimes Mama still can't believe you can lead a big company. Because sometimes you like stupid." Sarcass Lady Hanna who was greeted with laughter of Mr. Demir and Elif.

"All right, so what do you want to talk about during the day like this?"

"As Mama and Papa already knew, Elif and I are getting married."

"But Mama needs time" said Mrs Hanna.

"Not only that, to get married, Mama wants Elif to do the treatment first, at least one month."

"Nursing, Aunt?" Elif.

"Of course." Lady Hanna told Elif to sit closer to her. Elif also shifted her seat. "You see this hair of yours."

"Yes Aunt I know, my hair is no longer helped" Elif said.

"Who said?" Lady Hanna raised one eye eyebrow. "Your hair is actually unique, and it can be beautiful if you do regular maintenance at the salon. This hair can be very beautiful. You know, it's soft, it's shining, and it's manageable even if it's curly."

"Really?"

"Of course!" Lady Hanna sounded excited. "Ah, you should meet me more often, I can make over you."

"Ma, I love Elif for who she is." Chirp Ardan. Again, Mr. Demir laughed.

"You know, nothing can stand in your way when it comes to looks." Said Mr. Demir.

"Oke Ma, it's up to Mama to how, as long as it doesn't change Elif's identity" Ardan said.

"Of course not. It would precisely make Elif emit his hidden radiance" Madam Hanna said with great confidence.

"Well, I think it took us three months to get everything ready."

"Three months?" Lady Hanna squealed. "That's too long!"

"But Ma, we need to prepare-"

"You think as soon as Mama heard the news about you at the wedding Marsha has brought the future wife to make this Mama just shut up?"

"I mean Mama?"

"Trust me, if it wasn't for Elif having to do the treatment first, maybe the day after you were married." Mr. Demir sipped the fruit juice. "Your mama has taken care of everything, the building, invitations, catering, souvenirs, fairies, decorations, wedding singers, ah, everything, you just have to take yourself." Mr. Demir explained casually.

But not with Elif who heard it made himself even frightened. What if she really married Ardan? How could she marry someone she doesn't love?

"It only took me a month to treat Elif, get to know the Elif family, and everything" Elif said.

"But still Ma, it took me three months."

"How the hell are you, intent or not to marry someone's daughter?!" Madam Hanna started glaring.

"Of course it's intent!" Answer Ardan.

"Where is the problem?"

The problem is there's a three-month deal that only Ardan, Elif and Teddy know. Ardan also did not want Elif to marry him where Elif did not have the same feelings as him. And it would definitely make Elif depressed. That's what Ardan avoided the most. And the purpose they came to say today that they would marry was for Ardan's parents to come to see Elif's parents, because Ardan had previously fallen to talk that his parents would come and meet the Elif family.

Not until it occurred to me that Lady Hanna had gone so far as to prepare everything.Yes, absolutely everything. Indeed no one was able to match the speed of Madam Hanna's actions.

"Okay, since you're ready, tomorrow we'll come to your parents' house, Elif." Said Mr. Demir.

"We'll talk about your wedding date as well."

"And after that, Elif and I will routinely go to the salon for treatment for one month" said Ms. Hanna.

"Sorry Aunt, but I also have to keep working."

"Working?" Madam Hanna laughed. "You are the future wife of a sultan, why else work?"

"But Auntie, I haven't even turned a month into Ardan's secretary."

Suddenly Lady Hanna hit Ardan's arm.

"Aw! Why did Mom suddenly hit me?"

"Why do you still let your future wife work? What was it like? A secretary? Your secretary?! It's totally out of reason! Quickly find a new secretary!"

"But Ma, it's hard to find a competent secretary like Elif. He's quick to learn, deft, and can be some language and-"

"And Elif is your future wife! Huh, you idiot! What would the media write if it knew Ardan Mahesa Demir's future wife was his secretary?"

"But Auntie, I don't mind being Ardan's secretary, I mean, that way I can always be close to him what else is Ardan's busy schedule, if not his secretary, then, maybe we'll meet less often." Elif gave an excuse that made Lady Hanna think a little and consider.

"Hmm you're right too" said Lady Hanna at last. "Well, come on, every day during the break we're going to the salon."

"B-good Aunt."

"And you," Lady Hanna pointed to Ardan, "Give your future wife time with me! I think Teddy's gonna be able to handle Elif's job for a while."

"Tamam, tamam, Hanna hanym. (OK, okay, Mrs Hanna)."

Once again, Ardan looked into Elif's eyes, a look of worry visible within, despite trying to hide.

"Good, Mama's gonna make Elif shine shimmering splendid."

"A whole new world.a new fantastic point of view..." Mr. Demir suddenly sang happily.
