06. Engagement Plan

"Austin wait!"

Hearing his name being called, Austin lazily stopped his steps. Looking at the source of the voice, with one of the eyebrows raised as if asking. The guy still puts a flat face on Shabira, the girl who calls his name.

"Gue wants to talk to you, for a second!" shabira.

It took a while for Austin to respond. His gaze was still staring at the girl, without changing his face even a bit. "No!" in short.

"Huh?" Shabira's forehead wrinkled, unable to understand Austin's answer. "Wait first! I just want to know why you refused this match?"

Austin, who was about to leave, looked back. "Gue doesn't like you, so there's no reason for me or you to accept this match!" the answer.

"Why do I like you the same?" For the first time, Shabira revealed her true heart. In the past, let alone reveal, Shabira never even dared to approach. Shabira, who once could only watch Austin from a distance, would hide when Austin noticed.

"Gue tau!" said Austin.

"Lo know?" Shabira's forehead is back in a frown.

"Gue isn't a fool who can't realize what you've been doing all along!" austin said at length.

Shabira bit her lip, a little regretful. All this time, he thought Austin didn't know what he had done. The girl felt so stupid that she had been caught watching the guy from a distance. Now he felt like a thief who had just been caught after stealing something.

Argh shit!

"Lo already know if I like you, then why do you refuse this matchmaking? Don't tell me you already have someone you love?" shabira asked doubtfully. As Livia, he knows how the character he has created. An Austin will indeed be a little difficult to be able to love someone, because of hereditary factors from his Papa.

"The reason is just one, I don't like weak and whiny girls like you!" austin said with great emphasis. "The girl who can only cry in the corner, without being able to retaliate or even defend herself in front of everyone!"

Shabira clenched her hands, quite annoyed at Austin's overly honest remarks. If this was the old Shabira, maybe she'd cry and then go shut up, like Austin said. But now it's different. Austin was even slightly astonished to see the change in Shabira, evident from the look in his eyes.

"Gue hates girls like you! So from now on stop liking me, because you don't know anything about the real me!" press Austin as he approached with a sharp look.

"Gue Nyesel never liked you!" Shabira looked at Austin with great fury. "Lo thinks I want to like you, the cowardly guy who can only hide behind silence. You don't even dare to express your heart in front of Om Ray, Papa lo himself!"

"We are the same, if you forget! Lo and I make no difference, both cowards!" shabira continued to press. He knew very well what made Austin unable to like Shabira all this time. Besides because Shabira who never revealed his heart.

Austin, not expecting Shabira to say that. It is true, all this time he always acted cold in front of his Papa. After the departure of his mother ten years ago, Papa Ray has never once seemed to care for him. The man was just busy working, without regard to how his son developed into an adult.

There have been many problems that Austin experienced so far, but never known by his Papa. All the problems he faced managed to form a cold Austin figure. In fact, he just wanted to pay attention to himself. Because he felt that no one else wanted him.

Austin was silent for a long time, now he realized there was no Shabira in front of him. I don't know how long she's been leaving, all alone. The doors of the VIP room that had previously opened were closed. Austin could only watch from a distance. Then, the guy left with slightly heavier footsteps than before.

Inside the VIP room, Shabira sat herself down while grumbling grumpily inwardly. Of course, which woman will be silent after getting rejection from someone she loves. For Livia, the rejection was a great humiliation for her. Remember, when in the real world, he was always even the first in his school. All guys always race to get themselves.

"How's Shabira? Will Austin take the engagement?" ask Mr. Ray.

The question reawakened Shabira from her frustration. The girl shook her head, after noticing that Papa Antonio, Mama Shinta and Om Ray were staring at her questioningly.

"I think it's better that this match-up be annulled, and Austin doesn't want it!" antonio said after seeing Shabira shake her head.

A clear look of a tinge of dislike appeared suddenly on the surface of Mr. Ray's face. "No, this match will continue. For Austin, let me take care of it later."

"But Om, I don't want it this way. If Austin does not want to, we better cancel this engagement. Our future is long, we are only eighteen! Living a relationship with full coercion will also not make us happy for the future," said Shabira at length.

"Shabira!" lirih Mama Shinta felt strange. Just now he heard his daughter was able to speak in front of the parents, one of the things Shabira had never done.

"Calm down, son, I won't force Austin. But I must also know, the reason Austin refused this matchmaking." Mr. Ray turned to look at his best friend, Antonio. "I'll try to ask Austin one more time, if he still doesn't want to, then we better cancel this matchmaking."

"Alright, I think it's better" Antonio said.

"I really hope that the child will accept this match, so that our familial bond will be stronger."

Since long ago, Mr. Ray really hoped to have a strong relationship with the Antonio family. A relationship is more than just friendship. By marrying their son, he thought it was the right way. But the truth is, not only for that reason that makes Mr. Ray want to immediately match his son.

During this time, Ray felt his relationship with Austin had gone too far. As a father, of course he does not want to see his son choose the wrong association. However, Ray could do nothing, not even to advise Austin that the man was incapable. He never thought, Austin would become a child who was so dissident after growing up.

In this way of betrothing his son, he only hoped that Austin would be kept away from the wrong association. Ray is very hopeful, Shabira will be able to control the ego of an Austin later. Ray had enough regret for what he had done all this time. Letting Austin grow up without a mother and father is the biggest regret of Raiden Lloyd's life.
