" Mom, Manda's home!" greetings Manda when entering his house. Lio can only escort him to the gates of Manda's father and mother's elite housing. Lio is not allowed Manda to just drop Manda to his doorstep.

Lio can only take Manda to the gate of the housing there doang. At first Lio protests, but Manda insists that she wants to talk to her mother's father.

" Astafirullah's. Manda, mother's daughter. Why don't you say hello first?" manda's mother, with a subtle tone. Understandably Manda's mother is still a descendant of Javanese nobility as well. His name is Raden Roro Arsila Ayya Fatimasari Wiryonegoro. Commonly called Ayya. While Manda's father named Raden Mas Digdopranoto Djoyodiningrat, commonly called Noto's father.

" I'm sorry, mom. Assalamuaalaikum mother." said Manda while kissing her mother's hand. He was closer to his mother, because his father was busy working and his older brother who was bigger than him preferred to study working at his father's place. So usually Manda only with his mother and the ART that Manda has.

" Nduk, where have you been?" ask Noto's father in a flat tone. Manda was surprised because it was a little afternoon, usually Manda will not find his father at home.

" Ehm, Manda is at a friend's house!"

" Why didn't the guards find you even coming home empty-handed?" search Noto's father again. The confused manda must answer what.

" Dad, don't take care of that first. Do you have any important guests?" persuade the mother with a soft tone. Ah, Manda's getting in love with her mother. His mother could always melt and neutralize the atmosphere.

" Good God, I forgot. Manda, you'll be clean immediately and change into a nice dress, and a beautiful one. And meet the father in the back garden." father's orders made Manda look at her mother with a look of wonder. His mother just put his shoulders short and pulled his daughter to do his father's word immediately.

His mother followed Manda into his room. After giving instructions to his ART to serve the needs of his great guests who were in the back garden pendopo.

" What's wrong mom?Who's dad's guest?" ask Manda with a thick Javanese accent. When with his family, Manda will act like this. His mother simply took a breath and exhaled it gently. His mother is one of the princesses of the palace who has adab, upload upload upload and extraordinary softness. Manda had much to learn to be meek like her mother.

" Why didn't you come home and tell the guards?" search mom again.

" Yes mom, sorry! Manda's friend is making breakfast outside, so.."

" Yes, get dressed and dress up pretty."

" What's wrong, mom? Who's the matter?" ask Manda to be confused.

" Gini loh nduk cah ayu. (my beautiful daughter) father and mother have betrothed you to a man who has a pedigree of the king in Java. Raden mas Haryo Dipta Kusumonegoro. He is 27 years old. Seed weights and bebetnya good, already working in a company as well, meaning the wis is well established. The point is now that they have come to know each other, nduk! " clear mom at length.

" But ma'am, though,... "

" Uwis. You must immediately prepare and meet your future husband. If he pleases, then your marriage will be accelerated." cut his mother in a subtle tone but do not want to be denied. This is what Manda doesn't like, they are too authoritarian and Manda has to follow their orders without a single rebuttal.

" What? Be married? Manda is young and still wants to work, mother" Manda said in a panic. The time he was getting married. What about the Lio? Huh huh? His lio?

" The mother of the woman is at home, in the kitchen and on the bed, nduk! You should be able to serve your husband later in bed, in the kitchen and serve his physical and spiritual needs." the words of his mother made Manda shudder in horror. He could no longer offer his chastity, how was this? Is he pretending to be crazy? Pura pura's sick? So that she does not need to find her future husband. Horrified Manda imagined that when the candidate arrived to want him, what about Lio? Hah, why did Manda even think of his Lio? Is it starting ehm ehm.

" Ibuuuu, that's what it is. Manda was embarrassed." said Manda while covering her face with both hands.

" Here you go, let's go get changed and make a beautiful one" said the mother as she left Manda's room leaving Manda confused as to how she should act.

" Mad, this is Manda. The man who was betrothed to me has already come. How's this? " ask Manda nervously.

" .. "

" Why are you even calling it mas? Do you have a crush?" ask Manda with a ketus. How the hell is this prospective husband .. instead ask for the name and data of the soul mate who has come to his house. Note it! Has come in his house.

" ..."

" Yes yes. his name is very long anyway, if it is not wrong just the name is Raden mas Haryo Dipta Kusumonegoro. It works at the company but I don't know what company. The address is where I also do not know.So you do not nanya" said Manda explained while rolling his eyes in annoyance.

" ..."

" You don't joke with me. The guy's at home and you said I told him to go to the bathroom to take a shower first. How the hell is mas?" Manda was even more upset with Lio's unreasonable command.

" .. "

" Yes yes I am afraid. Where's ada? I am not your wife either. We still approach." denied Manda when Lio said a wife who prayed should obey her husband.

"..."

" You want to go to Singapore? Yes, I'll call you later. Waalaikumsalam" Manda said as he hung up.

Strange, Lio only asked for the full name of the person he was betrothed to and said he would take care of everything. He can't come now because he has a surprise event in Singapore, and maybe he'll be there for a week. He was taking care of affairs related to Uncle Velaa. Manda had got a story from Lio that Vella had often sabotaged his family's company. And Vella is crazy crazy about Lio's adoptive sister who already has a wife. Really wow. What was his foster sister like? Kok Vella until mortgaged himself, selling his virginity only for the sake of Rendra, Lio's adopted sister.

Tok to tok.

" Manda.."

" Yes, mom? Sorry manda has not finished some questions because Manda was again looking for a suitable shirt. "said Manda lied when he saw it was his mother who came.

" No, Manda. You do not need to go down, because Mas Haryonya has gone home, because there is a call from his office. There is a big company CFO who just wants to use the services of his company and only wants to be served by himself or how, mother also does not understand." explained his mother when Manda looked at him with a questioning look, because his mother was very bitter to make him dress up just to meet his soul mate, uh even now say it's not so.

" Oh yes, ma'am. Manda runs out this will take a shower first" said Manda as she passed leaving her mother who also immediately came out of Manda's room. How could Lio from afar be able to do that to her? inner Manda while passing to the bathroom to immediately clean herself.
