I'm Still Waiting for You
Have a friend besides Melisa?
Mother also invited Aunt Lucia to enter her house first and told her maid to prepare a drink for Melisa and Aunt Lucia. Waiting for a few minutes, the maid finally brought a tray containing drinks for Aunt Lucia and Melisa, there was also a small snack for them.
“Diminum was Lucia, Melisa” said mother in her friendly tone
Hearing the mother's words, the 2 women immediately took the glass that was available in front of them and drank it. After they put the glass back on the table and Aunt Lucia also re-opened her voice. “Say, Edward is why? Why doesn't he like my daughter so much? Is my daughter lacking what is she saying? And why did she look so close to the woman earlier?” said Aunt Lucia with a breath of breath
“Cia, calm yourself first. We will talk later” replied mother while calming Aunt Lucia “How can I calm down, my son has treated my daughter arbitrarily” said Aunt Lucia who did not accept it with all. To her Melisa was a woman who had never been treated like that with another man but why now Edward was treating her like that
Is there anything less in the man's eyes for Melisa? Aunt Lucia there continued to talk about Edward in front of the mother until the father who had been in front, entered in a cold mood. “Regar, your son why the hell? Why would she treat Melisa like that? What's wrong with him?” aunt Lucia said when she found the father who was entering the living room
The father who heard Aunt Lucia's words immediately glanced at her with a cold gaze that made Aunt Lucia shudder with goosebumps. “He's like that, because he doesn't like to be forced. He has also given you 3 days to cultivate the taste right? But until now he still has no feelings for you. So we just cancel this engagement” replied the father who made the 3 people there surprised.
“A-what do you mean? Why do you support him? Isn't the parent's match better than he who chooses the soul mate himself? Why did you become like, didn't you also agree to this matchmaking at first?” aunt Lucia exclaimed in her shocked tone. He could not believe that Edward's father would speak like that, because for him if the man had spoken like that then any decision would still go on.
“Indeed many people say that, but I as his father also do not want to continue to force my son to accept someone he does not necessarily love” said the father who in a cold tone. “Forcing how? It's not forcing but it's an arranged marriage where each other should be ready to open their hearts to their partner” refuted Aunt Lucia
Hearing those words, the father simply fell silent while looking at the woman with a cold gaze while Aunt Lucia still continued her conversation. “In the beginning of the matchup they still can not accept but if they are accustomed to both continue there will definitely be something in their hearts” continued Aunt Lucia as she woke up from her seat
“Cia, stop it!” reprimand mother by pulling hands Aunt Lucia to sit back “Can't say!! This daughter of mine has to marry Edward, they've been friends for a long time and didn't Edward like his old best friend too?” said Aunt Lucia who made dad stunned for a moment
“H-Huh? What do you mean?” ask the mother who does not understand “Edward liked his old friend and his old friend is Melisa.” Answer Aunt Lucia who continues to emphasize the position of Melisa who was once a friend of Edward. The father who heard that immediately folded his hands and showed a smrik on his face
He looked down on Aunt Lucia. “Stop hoping, you think only Melisa has ever been Edward's old best friend?” say father by raising one eyebrow
“You said, Edward had feelings for his old friend but why did Edward always ignore Melisa? Isn't Melisa his best friend” said the father who made Aunt Lucia speechless at the place “You try to think more mature, if not Melisa then who is the friend who is liked by Edward. I should have known if only once saw but instead you keep closing your eyes to cover up this reality” continued the father
“So you mean, Edward has a best friend other than Melisa?” great-grandson of Aunt Lucia in a tone of disbelief. While Melisa who had been silent before sitting on the sofa continued to clench her hands tightly, the pain that continued to stab into her heart when she heard those words. He did not expect that there were others whose luck was the same as him

On the far side, Edward and Natasha have now reached his office. They got out of the car and were immediately approached by Arya from inside the office with gasping breath. “Tu-uan Mu-da” called Arya who made the man who owns the name turn towards the arrival of the voice. ‘Arya?’ little murmured Edward
“Master, finally you're coming too! Sorry for my commotion” said arya with her head lowered slightly “What's the matter?” ask Edward while staring at the man in front of this “In there are already some of our clients who want to meet you because they want to talk about important things. They have also been waiting for you from 30 minutes ago, Tuan” explained Arya
“But sir, didn't you come here to sign some files?” the connecting natasya said in the talk of the men. Edward who heard it immediately tilted his body so that he could see the girl who was standing behind him, he also smiled a little and then rubbed back the girl's head gently.
“What's wrong, after all they have also waited a long time”
Said Edward who made the man next to him silent staring at his master's hand was stroking the girl's head ‘T-mister? She's she? B-how can it?’ arya with her sense of insecurity. Edward, who saw Arya was silent, immediately distanced his hand from the natasya and turned into his pants pocket. “Where are they?” asked Edward who made arya with a sudden realization of his daydream
“There is a special guest room, sir.” Arya replied with both hands pointing at her and Edward nodded then said “You come with me and Tasya.” “Eum” Natasha small response by looking coldly at Edward “You can go back to the office first, if I'm done I'll be there” continued Edward with a cool back tone
Natasya there just nodded and walked towards her car.
