Efina looked in wonder at the two guards of her shop. The two girls both bowed their heads and both hands were both giving off cold sweat.
"Why are you two?" Efina asked with a frown.
The two girls still lowered their heads and no one dared to look at Efina.
"Are you going to answer me or not?" Furious Efina.
"Ma ...Sorry Mom ... We didn't know his son Mother." Replied Rina with her head lowered. He was the first shopkeeper, Lilian Tanyain.
Efina grew even more confused after hearing the answer from one of her shopkeepers.
"That's Mah ... Bad Citto, keep thinking Lilian to not carelessly bring a cat into the store." Lilian answered who had been standing near Ephina.
Efina took a rough breath hearing Lilian's words. "Don't you ask who he is? If he's not my son then you're going to throw him out of the store?!!" Getting angry.
"Sorry, Mom. It's my fault ... Because of seeing an active Non Lillian cat so I thought the cat would make trouble in the store." Answer Early. He was the shopkeeper who reprimanded Lilian.
"You think Citto is that wild cat?! What if he is too active? Did he bother you or did he eat all the cookies on the display?!!" Efina asked with her angry face.
"Mah ... Nevermind! Mama probably doesn't know." Said Lilian trying to calm down.
"Can't do it dong! Mama's own son is in the shop Own! Citto is considered a wild cat! Don't you see the fine fur Citto has? Cats like that do you think are wild?!!" Efina's actions are not accepted by the behavior of two workers.
"Mah ... Be done! Everyone's on the look towards us." Lilian muttered softly.
Efina spread her gaze left and right. Sure enough, all the other guards and shop-goers were looking towards them.
"Next time I don't want this to happen again!! This also applies to visitors who bring their pets! As a shop owner, I hope you can be nice with your customers. Make your mistakes today a lesson in the future! If you can't ... Then please leave my shop!!" Efina said firmly.
Rina and Yati immediately nodded their heads in understanding. They don't want to lose their jobs. The salary that Efina paid for the workers in her shop was much greater than the workers in the other stores.
"Good, Mom." Said Rina and Dini.
"I'm sorry, Non-Lilian." Say it Early with your head down.
"I'm sorry, too, Non." Pinta Rina's.
Lilian simply nodded her head in response.
After apologizing, Rina and Dini resumed their pending work. While Lilian himself was frowning looking for the whereabouts of Citto who had disappeared from his place.
"Mah ... Citto where?" Lilian asked as she walked over to the last place the Citto was.
Efina followed Lilian from behind. The last time Efina also still saw Citto was knocking on the window glass because he saw the cake lined with the inside.
"It wasn't that he was still here!" Ephina astonished and spread her gaze in all directions.
Lilian walked following the row of cakes lined up in the storefront. Maybe Citto went down that road. But when Lilian reached the end of the storefront, Citto was still not found.
"Where'd he go?" Lilian muttered to herself.
Not far from where Lilian stood, there was a shopkeeper who had just finished serving customers. Lilian decided to ask the Citto there.
Before asking, Lilian read the name tag of the guard. "Sati." His inner.
"Mhrs ... See that white cat through here, don't you?" Ask Lilian.
"Oh ... That cat belongs to Adek, huh? I saw the cat being carried by someone in that direction." Yati pointed to the other side of the cake shop.
Lilian's feeling became unsettled. Making Citto brought by someone makes him think no-no
Without saying anything, Lilian immediately left the shopkeeper herself and walked quickly in the direction indicated.
There Lilian saw the back of a man holding the Citto in front of her. Not wanting to waste any time, Lilian immediately walked over to him and called out the Citto name.
"Citto!!" Call Lilian out loud.
The man turned around and his two eyes immediately stared at Lilian who looked surprised to see him.
"Lo!" Show Lilian towards Arion who was already smiling sweetly at her.
"So, Lo who brought Citto without my permission?" Lilian asked annoyed.
Right, the one who brought the Citto was Arion. Actually, Arion accidentally saw it while walking to find one of the cakes requested by his mother. At first he wanted to ignore the existence of the cat, but when he looked more clearly at the cat, his lips were immediately attracted upwards because he knew the cat was Lilian's Citto.
"A father does not need to ask permission to his mother to bring his child." Arion said while stroking Citto's fine fur.
Meow ...
Citto meowed as if approving a speech from Arion.
"Mother ... Father what?! Aja delicious ... Citto is my cat!" Disenchanted Lilian with bulging eyes.
"Guests ... Don't forget we both found Citto." Arion reminded.
"Tap me who nurtures and gives her affection." Lilian did not accept.
"Of course you have to take care of him! Lo kan Mama ... As Father, I am responsible for supporting and giving love. For example, as now ... He was very upset and had no supervision from his mother. For that ... Let his father take care of him." Said Arion with his songong face.
Lilian gawked in disbelief at Arion's words. That man could always make her feel upset. When he's with her, Arion is like everyone else. Usually the man looks cold and indifferent but if together with him, the man will turn annoying.
"Eh flat! Lo was the pinter for me to sprain! Lilian walked forward and intended to hit Arion's arm. But his hand stopped because he saw someone from behind his back.
"Hapa lo? Tumben not be mukul?" Tanya Arion's pumping.
Lilian's eyes were still fixed on Arion's back. There was a middle-aged woman who was smiling warmly at him. Idu's woman is Elisha, Arion's mother who has since noticed the interaction between the two with diem.
Elisha loved the interaction of the two so adorable. Moreover, Lilian was able to make Arion look much more alive compared to previous days.
"Is Aunt bothering you?" Elisha asked with a gentle smile towards Lilian.
Lilian shook her head and looked back at Arion. "Why don't you tell me that there's a Mama behind you?". Lilian's eyes looked as if she was saying that to Arion.
While Arion himself even raised his shoulder. He himself forgot that behind him there was still Elisha who had been busy choosing a cake. Arion even sighed softly because he had to imagine himself will be a source of mockery Mama and Papa at home later.
"Still remember the same Auntie, right?" Elisha asked and walked over to Lilian.
Arion himself does not want to turn around, If he turns around now then he will receive a joke from his Mama now.
Elina immediately stroked Lilian's arm. "Good ... No need to be awkward with Auntie. I'm already a son-in-law." Elisa pressed her last word.
Lilian bit her lower lip softly and pinched the waist of Arion who pretended to play with Citto.
"It hurts!" The great-grandson of Arion and his two eyes unintentionally stared at Elisha who was already smiling meaningfully at him.
"Not that! Auntie just misunderstood. Lillian can be clear." Said Lilian trying to straighten.
"No need to explain. Aunty also likes if you are the daughter-in-law of Aunt. You two have kids." Syndical Elisha. As much as possible he held back the laughter so as not to escape in front of Lilian. Today's story will be told to her husband. If her only child would be someone else in the presence of a girl who had Arisena's blood on her body.
"Lilly!" Call Efina who just came.
Lilian took a few steps back to reassure her position. The four people were now standing opposite each other.
"Citto's been found?" Ask Efina. His eyes were fixed on Arion who was smothering Citto's body tightly in his arms.
"Mrs Rahadian." Call Elisha with a friendly smile.
Ephina turned her eyes toward Elisha. Her lips were pulled upwards to return the smile from the woman.
"Don't you remember me?" Ask Elisha.
Efina nodded steadily. "Who does not know Mrs Ganendra?" Ask back.
Elisa chuckles softly. "The lady can."
"We'd better find a seat ... Let the conversation be comfortable too." Efina's Proposal.
Elisha nodded in agreement. The four of them then walked towards the seat that was close to the shop window. There is a relaxing seat and in the middle is a long table.
Efina also did not forget to order one of her workers to serve tea and some cakes to her desk.
"After a long time, we can finally meet again. Last time we met at the opening of a new company in Paris, if I don't remember wrong." Said Elisa.
Efina nodded. "Yes ... Last time we met there." The answer is, "Oh yes ... I just saw the Madam come here firsthand. Usually there will be someone coming to order some cake." Further.
Elisha smiled. "Yes ... But today is different. At night we will hold a special event at our residence. To that end, I had to pick a cake for dessert." The answer.
Efina nodded slowly. "Oh so."
"Oh yes ... This is Lilian's youngest daughter, ma'am?" Elisha asked while looking at Lilian.
"true." Answer Efina.
"The first time I met him was during a school meeting. For the incident ... I'm sorry to the Madam for the conduct of my Lady Audry." Pinta Elisa sincere.
"It's okay. Part of the problem is over and Lilian's not hurt." Answer Efina.
Elisha smiled widely. "Oh yes ... Can Madam Rahadian and her family have dinner at our residence sometime?" Ask please.
Efina looked at Lilian who was playing Citto's fur along with Arion beside her. "Can." Disconnecting.
Efina could already guess where Elisha was talking. Of course Elisha would invite his family to dinner at his residence to discuss the matter of Lilian and Arion's relationship.
Although Lilian and Arion had a close relationship, Efina did not want to force her daughter to choose her choice. Let Lilian herself choose her life partner.
Moreover, Lilian was still very young. There are so many dreams that the girl wants to realize in her life. His future is still very long and the process of life will be a lot he passed.
It's not just the Ganendra family that wants her daughter. There were countless other families who wanted Lilian even though the girl had yet to publicize her true identity.
One day Lilian will be made a political struggle and made a pawn to boost a company. Before that happened, Efina needed to think of other ways to avoid her daughter from the situation.
Ganendra Group was not a bad choice for Efina, other than her husband who had a sizable stake there. But the popularity of the family would protect Lilian from power struggles. This is why Ephina agreed to Elisha's dinner.
Elisha himself invited Ephina to dinner at his residence so that he could know Lilian more deeply. Elisha felt that Lilian was a suitable match for his only son.
At first Elisha wanted Lilian to be his son's partner because the girl had an unusual origin. But after seeing Lilian's painting in her Son's room, Elisha felt that his Son wanted the girl.
In the painting, Lilian wears a dress similar to a European royal dress of antiquity. Arion also painted a kingdom behind the girl's back.
Before leaving school, Arion always took the time to look at the painting. From the look in her eyes, Elisha could see there was a longing look there. That was the reason why Elisha wanted to get to know Lilian even more closely.
After a long silence, Ephina and Elisha came to their senses after Arion and Lilian called out their names.
"Mama's okay?" Arion asked in wonder to Efina.
"Mah ..." Call Lilian and gently swipe Edina's hand
Elisha and Ephina both smiled clumsyly as they came to their senses from their daydreams.
"Sorry Mrs Ganendra ... I'm so dreamy." Efina.
"Nothing ... I was also just daydreaming." Elisha said with a small twitch.
"Oh yes ... Sorry Mrs Ganendra. Looks like I can't take much longer to accompany ... There's an important meeting I have to attend this afternoon." Efina.
"Oh it's okay. I also finished the cake. Just wait to finish in the wrap." Reply Elisha.
"Oh ... Yes already. I'll go to the meeting first then." Efina. His gaze then turned towards Lilian who had been staring at him confusedly since then. "You go home now ... Ntar kemaleman nyampe house."
Lilian simply nodded obediently. "Yes ... I'll go home first, Mah, Aunt ..." He said with a small smile.
"Gue anter." Arion suddenly said.
"Ario!" Call Elisha to warn him if he came with him.
Arion sighed softly. "All right." His post.
"I'll excuse you." Pamit Efina's. Then back up to the second floor of the shop.
"I'll go home first, Auntie." After kissing the back of Elisha's hand, Lilian walked towards where Arion was sitting to take the Citto.
"Take another path ... I saw Melvin around the road to your house." Arion's Brisks.
Lilian just nodded slowly. After that he left with Citto.
