I'm the One You're wasting
Witma Suspicious

"Ma, Mama should have talked about this with me first don't just make her own decision like this," said Arash who tried to control his emotions because he could not speak loudly to Rose considering that his mother was a person who easily shed tears when one of his children was talking loudly. "If I know this is mending I don't have to come," he mumbled softly, disappointed with Rose. "Mom like this, I even more feel that Mama never thought about my feelings at all."

"Quite Arash, mama did this also for your own good." Rose took a breath. He did not expect that Arash would talk this way to him. It was because of what he expected that Arash would thank him and accept the engagement without any drama as of right now. However, apparently he was wrong apparently Arash did not accept what he had planned with Andri, her husband. "Well, good boy, wasn't it when you loved each other so much, then why are you turning into Arash now?"

"Ma, I'm old enough to find my own life partner, without Mama having to play matches like now. Arash really felt disappointed because of Rose's behavior like this.

"Even though you refused, the decision of mom and dad is already unanimous that you will be engaged to Anja one more month. Because mama is tired of hearing what you say will find a daughter-in-law for mama, but in fact what? Until now you are still here and there where you are still at home." Rose deliberately said a long sentence because she hoped Arash would be willing to understand. "This time mama does not want to accept rejection from you in any form is enough Arash, besides the criteria of the woman you are looking for is already a complete package that is in Anja." Again he praised Anja hoping Arash's heart trembled a little as he said it all.

"Ma, not Arash refused but there is a heart that he must take care of" said Alma who came with a few paper bags. "The delivery from the besan Mama who was, whether this paper bag is what it contains, I do not know and also do not intend to know," continued Alma while throwing her face when she was in the face of Arash.

"What do you mean Alma, whose heart is Arash guarding?" ask Rose while picking up a paper bag that only the Author knows. "Did Arash already have a candidate so you mean?"

"I came home first and I really hope what happened tonight was just a dream." A moment after saying that Arash grabbed his car keys and immediately left, not forgetting he had time to say hello.

"Where have you met Grandma?"

Arash smiled as he shook his head. "It turns out it's not Grandma, I'm sorry that I've misrepresented Brother Alma's words."

"Keep who?"

"Just have dinner with your friends" replied Arash. Because he had promised himself that he would not tell Witma the problem. "Have you eaten?" ask them to divert their conversation.

Witma stared fixedly at Arash. "Are you hiding something from me?" He even asked so when he saw the sad netra Arash. Because I don't know why he became suspicious. "The brother's lips can smile, but the brother's gaze can't lie."

"Why pay attention to my eyes instead of answering my question, hm?" Arash pinches Witma's nose.

"There's nothing I'm hiding from you, believe me my eyes look this sad because I'm sleep-deprived. Just because of the endless business of work." Arash can only divert the conversation again so that Witma does not suspect.

In the end, Witma can only believe what Arash says even though he does not fully believe it.

"Who did you do this early in the morning?" Alma asks when she sees Arash with wet hair coming to Rose's house.

"Sister already knows what husband and wife often do so, why does Brother ask so?" Arash asked his brother.

Alma hissed in annoyance. "The second your man is also Arash, who is still a girl and sealed instead you ignore." He intentionally said so. "Anja, the good girl who has closed her aura since she was in elementary school, guaranteed she was still like this." He raised his thumb. "Virgin is 100% so there is no doubt."

"Sister I just came to give this back" said Arash, who gave Alma a pink rectangular box.

"Turn it back to Mama, because you don't want to be too involved." Alma did not want to take the red box which contained two pairs of rings. "Sana just come in, because Anja is inside too she said to bring you cake and also your favorite pudding."

"I'm in a hurry Brother so, no time ma–"

"Abang Arash," call Anja to cut out Arash's sentence.
