Today is the day Aileen and Archie meet for the first time, Aileen is very opposed to her papa's request, but last night her mother tried to persuade her and Aileen finally agreed to her papa's request.
Flashbacks
When Papa Gino's departure, Aileen leaned against the wall of her room and cried a sigh thinking that her fate was very bad.
"Why? Why am I lucky like this? Why should I be in a match with a man I don't even know hikss, hikss.." murmured Aileen who was still crying.
Tok,, tok,,tok,, tak,,
Mama Rahina opened the door to Aileen's room and saw the state of her daughter who was very shocked to hear the news of her match.
"Aileen dear.." greet mama Rahina.
Hearing the typical voice of his mother made Aileen turn to the origin of the voice and immediately hug her mother's body tightly.
"Hikss, mama why ma? Why did you make your own decision? Hikss, Aileen still wants to play enjoying Aileen's youth, Aileen also wants to study and work according to Aileen's wishes, hikss.." said Aileen to her mother.
"Darling, don't cry, I know it's hard for you, but trust me, everything your father does is for your own good, Aileen." Mama Rahina.
"What's up ma? What kind of good is matching her own child!?"
"What's wrong with marriage? Aileen, we live in a world where people talk more cruelly than anything, your father has often gotten a bad talk about you who always hang out with men, he said, you who always come home at night in the same bell different men, papa's heart and mama's sick to hear it dear." Obviously mama Rahina.
"But Aileen isn't that kind of woman ma!"
"Mom knows honey, but people around us only believe what they see, papa and mama get sick every time they say a no-no about our daughter."
"But Aileen didn't know him and didn't like him." Aileen.
"That's why we told you to meet each other to get to know each other, and believe that love will come with time." Obviously mama Rahina while smiling towards Aileen.
Aileen simply fell silent without saying anything, her gaze blank as to what she was thinking.
"Aileen, don't daydream like that baby, how did you decide? Do you want to meet Archie?" Ask mama Rahina.
"Can Aileen ask ma?"
"Oh, honey, what do you want to ask?"
"Mama know that guy?"
"Who do you mean? Archie's? Of course you know her, back when you were not born Archie was very small and still often came home with aunty Yasmine, but because of her husband's work, they all moved abroad, she said, you call him Archie's sister or mas ain't nothing."
"How is ma? Is he a bitch?"
"If it's also mama don't know yes, who you know now he is very handsome, his life is guaranteed and mama sure that you will be happy with him."
"We'll see tomorrow, whether I like that om-om or not."
"Hus! You can't say that!"
"What's your real ma, how old is he? Must be a long way from Aileen?"
"About 10 years different from you, ga really old, it's good to have an older partner in order to guide us if we're wrong."
"Old ga said mama? I'm sorry it's an om-om for me!" Inner Aileen
"Well ma, tomorrow Aileen will meet him, so I don't have to worry about Aileen not going out of the room."
"Thank you, baby, then mama's out first." Pamit mama Rahina's.
"Okay Aileen doesn't matter, you can invite the man to cooperate later." Mumbled Aileen.
End Flashback
"What the hell ma, Aileen doesn't like to dance like this!" Ketus Aileen's.
Chequek!
Hearing the sound of the door opening made Aileen and her mother turn towards the door, there was a young man who entered with a smile that expands on his face.
"Arlo! What are you doing here? This is the girls' room!" Ketus Aileen's.
"Oh my sister, I also want to see how my beautiful sister is doing in the dress up." Ejek Arlo's.
Yep! The young man is Arlo Guntoro who is none other than Aileen's younger brother, Arlo is 14 years old, he is very nosy and always mocking his older sister.
"You better be waiting for guests!" Mama Rahina.
"Oh mama, Arlo is bored there, papa is just talking about the students at his school." Arlo Protest.
"Well, how else, my mom and dad's job as a teacher so what we told you was definitely about the students at our school." Mama Rahina replied while shaking her head.
Both of Aileen's parents are teachers, Papa Gino works as a principal at one of the famous SMKs, while Mama Rahina works as a school representative at the famous Junior High School. Although both of his parents were important people in school, Aileen and Arlo never wanted to go to school where his father and mother worked.
"There you're out! If the guest has arrived you call me!" Aileen.
"Mama will come downstairs with Arlo alone yes, if the guest comes mama will tell Arlo to call you." Mama Rahina.
"Okay ma, Aileen will be waiting for the guests to arrive." Said Aileen with a forced smile.
Mama Rahina knew very well that her son was smiling by force, mama Rahina knew in her heart that her son was very opposed to this matchmaking.
"Honey, be yourself when you meet Archie and his family, they have to accept you for who you are." Mami Rahina said and went out of Aileen's room.
Mama Rahina and Arlo Finally go downstairs to wait for their special guest.
"How's Aileen? Is she okay?" Ask papa Gino.
"She's been so much better than yesterday, Mom's sure she'll be fine." Said Rahina's mother who tried to calm Papa Gino.
"Actually papa pity to see him have to be betrothed like this, but want how else, how else, before everyone gets ready and before Aileen goes the wrong way we have to marry her off to someone we can trust." Papa Gino.
"Have pa, mama knows what papa is doing is for the good of our son." Mama Rahina.
After a long wait, the Archie family finally arrived at their home. Soon Rahina's mother tells Arlo to call her sister and take her down to meet their guest.
Arlo immediately heads to his sister's room excitedly and tells her that Arlo's family has arrived.
"Your soul mate's family brother has come in a limited edition car! Oh my God, I just found out that it turns out that my sister-in-law candidates can buy a car that is only available 5 in this country!" Arlo said enthusiastically.
While Aileen did not care about Arlo's ravings, Aileen only prayed that the man she was about to meet would not like her or at least she would be invited to cooperate with him.
"Okay Aileen, we have to deal with it at all costs." Inner Aileen.
