I'M NOT A MATRE GIRL
Chapters 18. Dinner

This morning Mama Meri came to visit her son's office. No crap to anyone the woman went straight into Daniel's study.

Daniel, who saw the mother coming, invited the woman to sit down.

"Daniel, not busy tonight?" asked Daniel's mom who was sitting on her couch in her study.

Mama Meri came to make sure if later tonight there is no meaningful activity for her child just because she has planned something for her child and can be sure this will make her happy.

"none. Why, Ma?" Signing important files and also checking one by one the files, Daniel looked serious with his work.

"No." Mama Meri walked closer to Daniel, gently rubbed her son's shoulder and kissed the tip of his head. "Let's not go home tonight, huh? 7 O'clock should already be at the usual dining place our family spends on Sunday nights!"

Hearing that made Daniel rewind his head, looking at his mother with his search. It was not a Sunday night or a holiday but her mother asked her to go to the place to eat. He was not suspicious because it was indeed their family's subscription place to eat, but not usually they would eat there on weekdays. "alright. Daniel will be home in the afternoon."

"thank you. Mama went home first," she said after peeping Daniel's head again.

"Be careful on the road, Ma."

After his mother's death, he was preoccupied with existing files. Signature and also checking and front laptop that can not be left because of his work is very much. Daniel also loosened his tie, then scrambled the origin of his hair because of the many jobs that were before him at this time.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, the employees returned to their homes. There are some who are overtime, but Adelia first say goodbye if she will go somewhere because there is a need. Daniel agreed and could not deliver.

There are only a few files to do. Daniel also speed up his work, he does not want to come late and disappoint his mother. Her mother's happiness is her happiness.

An hour had passed, Daniel was done with his work. He hastened to clean himself in the secret room in his room and has changed his work clothes with a shirt suit with a different color.

Walking to his car, he wanted to drive his own car without a driver to the place of eating that his mother had intended earlier this afternoon.

Here is where he is. The building consists of several floors, Daniel is on the 56th floor of the building. He walked closer to his parents who were already sitting there. They were the same as her, wearing semi-formal clothes like there was a family event.

Classical music accompanied Daniel's footsteps, sounding melodious and soothing. For a moment, the man closed his eyes when he heard the sound. His heart felt warm and cold. The choice of the place that his mother chose was not bad.

Daniel continued to step up, then kissed his parents' left and right cheeks, then sat down next to his mother.

There are five seats, which means there are three more people sitting there with them. Daniel is not sure if it is Adelia, because the article was his lover permission to go somewhere because there is a need.

Did her mother allow herself to be with Adel? That seems impossible, knowing that his mother was a little bit tired as they chatted, making Daniel get rid of the thought. He also shook his head slowly.

"What's up, Niel? Dizziness?"

Not long after Daniel answered that, Sindy came with her parents. Walking closer, it can be ascertained if it is indeed Sindy not Adelia like her prejudice. Mama Meri drew Daniel's hand to stand, welcoming the arrival of the Sindy family.

"How are you, Jeng? May you always be healthy, huh?" Mama Meri's smile continued to expand as she greeted the Sindy family.

"Thank God, Jeng. How's your boutique business? Smoothly?"

After kissing the right and left cheeks, both of Sindy's mama's hands still held Meri's mama's arms. His smile was no less fluffy.

"Fluent. Please sit!" Mama Daniel told the Sindy family to sit down immediately.

Daniel who is next to Sindy, his mother is in the middle of— opposite mama Meri. Since the arrival of the girl's family, she's been digesting all of this. The incident the other day when Sindy went to her office, made Adelia jealous, then today.

"Daniel, have a chat with Sindy. Don't be quiet like that." Mama Meri smiled at Sindy who was met with a smile by the girl. Mama Meri's eyes turned to both Sindy's parents. "Please eat! We're just here to tighten our cord." Daniel and Sindy ignored the voice.

"Niel, our project seems to be going well and will be a success." Sindy stared at the man's netra with a twinkle of unparalleled happiness.

"Yes, it will be much more successful than the initial estimate. Because that's our goal, right?" ask Daniel.

"Yes, right."

Hearing that made Mama Meri interrupt him with a chill. "Ehm .. two families are having dinner at this time. I'll say something to all of us" said Mama Meri.

"Oh. Emmm ... to carry on a clear lineage, it never hurts if we choose seedlings bebet weights from a clear family as well, right?" Hearing this, Daniel tightened his jaw. His appetite was gone, he wiped the corners of his lips using a washcloth over his thigh. "I intend to match my son to Nak Sindy. Is Nak Sindy ready?"

Hearing that, Sindy nodded quickly. Too soon because her happy reaction was beyond what was seen. In contrast to the reaction of Daniel who seemed flat and reluctant to respond to the words of his mother.

"Sorry, Ma, I interrupted for a moment." All eyes turned to look at Daniel. The two men just looked into the eyes of the mother. "I don't want to be a bad boy. Not wanting to be a bad boy. It's just that the marriage was done with mutual love, mutual love and mutual attention. I'm the same Sindy just a friend, a friend who is fairly old, since childhood. No more feelings."

"Daniel ...," call Mama Meri softly. His left hand rubbed his son's right hand. "Mama knows, but all those feelings will grow over time. Try to go with Sindy first."

Daniel's head was clearly visible. Sindy did not give up on the man's refusal. Here, he must try to get his heart and love. "It's okay, Auntie. Later Sindy who will continue to try to make Daniel's heart filled with the name of Sindy." The smile continued to be etched on his lips. Daniel's refusal will not diminish his steps in getting the man's heart.

"I can't, Sin," she whispered softly. He did not want his voice to be heard by his parents. "Don't expect more from me!" Daniel smiled at both of his parents.

"Tante, Papa, Mama, Sindy told Daniel first, huh? There's something Sindy has to say to her" she said. He took Daniel's left hand and asked him out.
