The woman who looked arrogant walked over to the Iswara family who were celebrating their togetherness by hugging each other. A sinister look was on Ivona's family.
"Are you the family of this girl?" Mrs Alberic stood haughtily staring at them.
"Who is he, Iv?" ask Thomas.
Ivona did not reply but he took one step forward. "Pardon me, ma'am. I don't mean to be presumptuous by inviting my family."
"So they're really your family?" Mrs Alberic scanned the Iswara family one by one. From Mr and Mrs Iswara to Thomas.
His gaze looked dislikeful to the family, but it was not on Ivona.
"Yes, ma'am, they are my family."
Mr and Mrs Iswara, as well as Thomas, were still wondering about who this woman was until Ivona was so disinclined by her.
"When are you getting married?" Suddenly Mrs Alberic's question changed the topic.
"What?" Ivona's voice screamed, but she kept her mouth shut. "Sorry," he said.
Mr and Mrs Iswara as well Thomas immediately looked questioningly at Ivona.
"What does that mean, Iv? you can explain it to us" asked Thomas on behalf of his parents.
"I-I'm sorry, ma'am, I don't understand what you mean."
Mrs Alberic smiled obliquely. "Why are you still pretending after you guys ordered the wedding ring. Didn't you and Alexander think I was alive, until I decided something this big by myself. After all, I haven't seen your worthiness as a daughter-in-law. How could Alexander decide to marry you."
Mr and Mrs Iswara were flabbergasted to hear what the foreign woman had said. And Thomas too. Ivona and Alexander, married?
"We're not as brave as Madam, if the marriage happens of course all with your permission." Ivona did accept Alexander's proposal, but she also did not want to ignore the woman who had given birth to the man. All of these wedding plans are sudden, but Ivona also has plans to ask Mrs Alberic for permission.
"Iv, what are you saying. Are you and Alexander getting married?" Thomas holds Ivona's shoulder.
Ivona looked at her third sister. "We are planning to get married, but it is not yet certain when it will be done" Ivona replied quietly but could still be heard by people around her.
"Why don't you talk about it with us, Ivona?" Lord Iswara chimed in.
Ivona was confused as to how to explain it, as Alexander's proposal was indeed sudden. He was shocked when the man suddenly invited him to the office to choose a wedding ring.
"I'm sorry if I interrupt." Lady Iswara equated her standing position with Ivona. "Previously, I'm Ivona's mother. If it's true that Young Master Alexander is going to marry Ivona, we can talk about everything all right."
Mrs Alberic looked down at the woman who was talking to him. Alexander's mother knew all the stories about this woman. She was just staying at home, because since her late husband Mr. Alberic died, the woman preferred to withdraw from the socialite association she had once participated in. Especially since Alexander replaced all of his Daddy roles in all corporate affairs and family responsibilities, Mrs Alberic is increasingly rare in social life. But with money, he could know a lot of things out there.
Mrs Aleberic did not like Mrs Iswara because from the news she got, the woman was a biological mother who never sided with her own biological daughter. The woman was also willing to sell her daughter to an old man for money. Imagining such a mother alone made Mrs Alberic very upset.
"Indeed what to talk about, I will choose a girl worthy of being my son's companion."
Madam and Mr. Iswara realized the dislike shown clearly by Alexander's mother. But fighting someone like Mrs Alberic would be a waste. Their position and wealth are not equal, it will make them ashamed.
Lady Iswara embraces Ivona. "If so, I will educate Ivona to be worthy to accompany Mr. Alexander."
Ivona turned her head, she looked in wonder at her mother. The nature and attitude of yabg is very different that Mrs Iswara shows.
"How I'm sure you'll educate her, while loving her you can't" said Mrs Alberic sarcastically.
Lords Iswara and Thomas gasped as Alexander's mother's words struck their feelings.
"I will prove it, Madam, in one month I will make you choose Ivona without hesitation" Iswara assured.
"Mother?" ivona Lirih.
Lady Iswara, embracing Ivona, patted her daughter's arm, assuring her that everything would be fine.
"If that time comes, my family and I will be waiting for your visit to our house."
Hearing Mrs Iswara's words which were like a challenge to her Mrs Alberic smiled in anguish. "You're challenging me?"
"No Madam, I just want you to admit if my daughter is indeed worthy of your son. And if that time happens I want your family to come officially to propose to Ivona."
"Mom!" cut Alexander fast. "What's mommy doing here?" Alexander came with Valia.
"Alexander, you just got home?" Mrs Alberic acted as if nothing had previously made her emotional.
"What's Mommy doing here?" repeated Alexander.
The woman took several steps to get closer to her son. "It should be Mommy who asks, did you forget that Mommy was alive?"
Alexander frowning.
"Why did you decide to get married without telling me, to the point that Julia called me. You know how embarrassed I was when Julia told me that you ordered a wedding ring while I'd as your mother know nothing. You piss me off, Alexander. I don't want to know, postpone your marriage until I know what kind of girl your escort will be!" After expressing her frustration to Alexander, Lady Alberic walked out of the living room of her son.
"Mom!" alexander shouted after his mother.
In that room lived the families of Iswara and Valia. Alexander's business partner accidentally looked at Mrs Iswara who was embracing Ivona. Valia also heard Mrs Iswara's plea for Ivona in front of Mrs Alberic.
Jealousy instantly rippled within him. This girl again! Why Ivona gets so much attention from the people around her, while she goes through everything herself. He doesn't like seeing Ivona.
"Valia!" Ivona noticed something strange about Valia while looking at her. "What do you need to do here?"
"Eh .. Yes, why?"
"Do you have a job with Alexander?"
"No, I just stopped by to pick up the documents, Alexander said he forgot about it at his desk."
Alexander entered after following his mother. He looked at Valia who was still there. "Iv, may I ask for help. Please get me the documents in the green folder on my desk."
"All right." Ivona let go of Lady Iswara's hand which had already grabbed her.
"Pardon my mother's words if they offend you" Alexander told Iswara's family after Ivona left.
"Alexander, was that right. You and my sister are getting married?"
"Yes, of course, I was planning on marrying Ivona. I was also planning to visit your family, but it was a misunderstanding like this."
"It." Ivona handed the document to Alexander and it was given to Valia.
"Well then I'll go first" said Valia. With heavy strides he left Alexander's living room. To be honest he still wanted to be there and hear what they were talking about.
"Alexander, if you're serious about Ivona then let Ivona come with us home, just like I promised your mother I'd educate Ivona to be worthy of you. I'm not gonna let you down."
"I mean, you."
"One month, let Ivona stay with us and I'll impress your mother with Ivona."
Alexander looked at Ivona. Honestly, he was worried that Ivona's greedy family would harm Ivona again.
"We promise to take good care of Ivona." Mr. Iswara was also convincing.
"I'll be fine, I promise" Ivona said.
Hearing Ivona's promise, Alexander nodded in agreement. Before the Ivona family brought her lover Alexander to hug Ivona in front of all the Iswara family.
"If there's anything, call me right away. Don't let them hurt you" she whispered to Ivona.
"You don't worry, I'll take care of myself."
Alexander kissed Ivona's head, sending the girl home.
On the front porch Ivona and her family still meet Valia. The woman looked strangely at Madame Iswara. Lady Iswara who noticed Valia's gaze immediately dodged.
"Come, Iv." Lady Iswara embraces Ivona again and takes her to the car.
Valia was very disappointed to see the attitude of Lady Iswara.
