lotus
before the party

I hurried home to get clarity from my father

Today I really got a surprise from my father not only mas novan surprised I was also surprised

I stepped on the gas pedal of my car a little tight, my brain is still half in disbelief that today I am engaged.....

Not that I no longer have the intention to marry again, it's just that for now my mind is focused on avenging the heartache of my mas novan treatment

and this really surprised me...

Arriving at the courtyard of the house, I was still shocked again, here still exposed mabil the complicated master

Turns out he's still here...

I immediately entered in a hurry, I saw that the people at home looked a little busier than usual, I looked for my father who was on the back porch of a relaxing house next to a lotus pond with two cups of coffee and two plates of cake on the table....

They looked very familiar and I saw my father laughing loosely while joking with Arga, it seemed like they had the same sense of humor

I hesitated a bit to move forward, afraid of interrupting their chatter despite the desire to ask a thousand questions like unstoppable in my mind

"you've been waiting since, let's join"

suddenly my mother pushed me from behind like she was leading me towards my father and Arga

"he's home already, so our language can be further"

Welcome me and mom comes

arga kept me flat

"let's join here, Yu, you've been waiting for your father since"

Mother said sumringah, I saw the faces of my parents were different, looking very happy....

"from earlier we have discussed the main subject and we have agreed to the main thing"

My mother kept saying but I didn't understand, I was getting confused, what was this

"what's wrong mom" I'm getting confused

"we agreed that yu, we will hold your engagement party with Arga tomorrow night"

"what?????"

Shouted me a little in shock, party

"father has sent an invitation to the father's important colleague colleagues, for all office employees father has given everything to Mr. Suryo, father wants a large event"

I looked at the three of them alternately my mouth was still confused, should be smirked, sad or.....

I know Arga also seems to be forced to get engaged to me but I am happy if the party is big because of that I will point to the mas novan family that the opponent is not a random person

"yes, therefore we are all busy today, the decoration of the room will soon also come, mother has arranged everything, anyway it is done yu"

I saw a smile on his lips, I could not bear to see that smile disappear with my rejection

"therefore, son Arga here, you just look for clothes for tomorrow at our subscription boutique first, the mother had made an appointment"

My mother was very enthusiastic about this show, but I was plongo plonga instead

Similar guy blo on️️

God, what is this so soon?

But, can I refuse and make my parents disappointed for the second time.....

"yes, I'm ready first mom"

I replied resignedly, the gaze of Arga's eyes was still the same, flat, expressionless

"mama.mama..in the house want a party well..naya want to be the princes mah..."

Naya burst into my arms when I found out I was home

"naya's having a party, son?"

Naya nodded surely her eyes were full of happiness, but she herself did not understand the meaning of the party tomorrow night

"naya here the same mbak sri first son, mama will just come home still tired"

Sister Sri who every day babysit naya approached to invite naya to play because she understood the situation at home everyone was busy preparing for a big party in one night.

"naya sama mbak Sri used to be well dear, mama want to buy clothes for naya first, naya want clothes like what?

" who like princess mah.mmmmm same use crown like a beautiful princess, naya want to be a princess"

Excitedly

"okay, later mama buy yah, now naya same mbak Sri first"

Naya nodded, her eyes twinkling with excitement, because she had never bought a good shirt

I immediately prepared to clean my body to make it feel fresh

"i know you're gonna have to accept this engagement"

I said opening the conversation when Arga and I were in the car on the way to the subscription boutique

I saw at a glance Arga's gaze remained flat, unmoved, his gaze fixed towards the front

"if you mind you can turn it down, let me talk to my father"

Imbuhku saw Arga's reaction that remained flat as if he did not hear the words I said

"i'm sorry"

I said softly, feeling so guilty that Arga had to follow my game to avenge my heartache

"make what"

Replied Arga still with a flat face

"mmm"

Arga looking at me sharp makes me a little creepy

"i know you have to..I...all of this I really don't know, I don't know at all..."

"it's no use to apologize"

Cut the arga with a slightly elevated tone, I can only look down guilty

"you're sorry for making me get engaged to you..."

I felt like I was a bad person for a moment

I looked at Arga confused, really feeling very guilty, not thinking about his feelings at that time, maybe it was the same feeling as I feel now.....

Feeling demeaned and humiliated by me

"if an apology changes everything, you won't take revenge on your ex-husband"

Arga's words were like a sharp knife that suddenly cut my skin

I feel like the worst person in the world

"already there is no use.now I will follow all your games Rahayu"

The look in Arga's eyes was so sharp and deep it made me tremble a little

And no more conversations between us, each other's silent deep in thought, no matter what's on his clear mind I feel like a shameless person....it seems like me and mas novan make no difference, I looked down embarrassed, worried, confused, guilty.

While Arga.still the same, flat....

"what color do you like?"

asked Arga disperse my daydream showing 2 dresses installed in white mannequins and one more ash, it looks like it has just been made

"I like the ashes, simple..."

ash dress looks simple but luxurious with cleavage v and a little pearl so does not seem crowded but very elegant

" our choices are the same"

We similarly tried the set of dresses and ash suits, I see Arga so handsome wearing his gray suit looks very elegant.....

Not to forget I chose a dress for mother, naya, and also her mother Arga who is in line with us

It was 11pm when we came out of the boutique and my stomach was wrapped around me, I just remembered not having had dinner because of this impromptu event

"we're going straight home?"

Asked Arga who I answered with a nod without thinking about my stomach that had protested asking for food

Kruckkkkk krckkkkk

Arga stopped and turned her body staring at me, I purported to turn my face looking the other way holding in shame

I saw him smiling amusedly ...

" are you hungry?"

Ask with a laugh

I just nodded embarrassedly at the laugh

"where do you eat?"

Ask patiently

"whatever, I don't know the restaurant that's still open at this hour"

Arga glanced at the clock on his wrist thinking for a moment

" we'll find it while we go"

Said later

Along the way there is almost no restaurant that is open to live angkringan angkringan small typical jogja that is still open, finally we decided to stop at angkringan end of the road because it looks very rame it must taste pretty good

Just getting out of the car all eyes were on us, maybe they were surprised people with luxury cars wanted to eat on the side of the road, I saw Arga was a bit uncomfortable eating out in the open, if I am used to it because since I became a wife mas novan never once invited to eat at the restaurant

We sit on the sidewalk of the road the atmosphere is really typical of Jogja, friendly sellers and food on sale also traditional food typical of Jogja, I think it does not taste the same as restaurant cuisine

"didn't you eat Ga?"

I asked to see Arga who hesitated to eat food on the side of the road

"yes, if you don't want to, let me finish"

I said with my mouth full of food, so hungry

"hhhhh voracious base"

Deny arga while taking back the food from my hand

"the woman should keep her appearance, let's not be fat, women are not feminine at all..."

His grunts while eating food

"bodo amat.aku ndak crazy beauty"

I said with my mouth full of food

"fortunately you're a crossbreed if you don't, it must be ugly"

"i'm pretty"

Instantly Arga glared at me making me laugh

"mom!!!! One more serving"

I don't know if it's good cooking or if I'm hungry

"i also got mom!!"

Shouted arga not to lose

"be told to keep the appearance even added.."

Grumpy arga is upset

I just laughed because I had never kept my diet like a woman who went on a strict diet to get an ideal body but strangely I was never fat...maybe trousers😁😁

Arriving at the preparation house is 70% complete, really like magic

After Arga came home I didn't go to sleep

I sat alone in the garden behind the house looking at the expanding lotus flower.

I don't know if I feel like I'm the most selfish person....

Ah, but I can't disappoint my father and mother for the second time

It's not just my plan, but this engagement is their plan to show them that they've humbled me that they've picked the wrong opponent

Lotus oh lotus if you could talk like I'm telling you......
