Ica's answer made everyone there happy. Except for Bayu, it should be from the discussion they just had, Ica still maintained her belief to reject this matchmaking. It is impossible for Ica to mispronounce because Ica precedes her by basmallah, Bayu thought. So, what made Ica change her faith at the last moment? Bayu does not show a happy face, but shows a face with a thousand questions.
"Alhamdulillah..," said Raka who then hamdallah speech was followed by the people there. Bayu also said it, then a thin smile reflex was painted on his lips. There is still astonishment that struck Bayu, but hearing Ica's answer who also agreed to this matchmaking without realizing he was also happy to paint a smile. Though, he was very sure there was no love in his heart for Ica.
Ica lowered her head in embarrassment as she listened to everyone's happy words after hearing Ica's reply.
In fact, revealing such an answer requires tremendous courage. Because, in fact, he was very sure to choose to refuse an arranged marriage, but he changed it. Ica did not want to disappoint everyone, but she did not just accept it. His beliefs changed, indeed largely due to discussions with Bayu.
While discussing, Ica saw a good figure from Bayu, a figure that Bayu had never shown before. Ica concluded, in fact Bayu is a kind and gentle person, but if faced with work, Bayu becomes someone else again. Discussions with Bayu several times have touched his heart. Hearing every sincere remark from Bayu made him sure that he would definitely find happiness despite being married to this very annoying person. Ica who also never felt the beauty of love, he wanted to feel it. However, there is no better way than to do it in a halal way. So, Ica had actually thought well before changing her beliefs at the end.
"When should this wedding take place?" Andi opened her voice.
"Faster, better, right?" keep Andi.
Bayu will not be surprised when Andi opened his voice about it. Because, when talking to his family alone, Bayu was asked to prepare if the marriage would be very quickly held after Ica also agreed to this matchmaking. Bayu did not question how quickly he got married, if everyone has agreed, and it is good, then Bayu need not worry and just accept.
The other is Ica. He had just prepared his heart to dare to accept this match. The energy is over. Then, he became very weak when he had to hear the words of his future father-in-law who had asked about the time of marriage. Ica was not allowed to breathe first. Because of running out of energy, Ica work around it by drinking lots of mineral water, then regulate his breathing.
Everyone who saw Ica's behavior tried to hold back a laugh. Because, Ica's behavior shows once that he misbehaved with Andi's speech.
"Does it matter if we get married quickly? What do the office people say? It could be that Ica was accused of being pregnant with Mr. Bayu, so suddenly we were married." Ica who has finished replenishing her energy expressed her opinion casually.
Bayu who heard it became choked because he was sipping drinking water as well. He coughed and tried to stop his cough with a lot of drinking.
Everyone at the dining table felt unable to hold back his laughter. They finally laughed off seeing the behavior of these two humans. Ica who does not know what she is talking about, and Bayu who chokes because Ica talk about things that are so vulgar in front of many people, let alone related to her.
"Hahahaha, Ica, you know what you're talking about?" Raka open the sound. Ica was astonished by everyone who laughed, and Bayu who choked because of his words. Then he remembered what he had said. When recalled, Ica immediately cupped her mouth and looked down embarrassed. He realized that he had expressed vulgar things in front of many people. Ica flushed in embarrassment.
"Yes, right. And if it is found out who spoke to you from his division Bayu, Bayu must immediately tell the employee to resign. Hahahaha," said Raka. Bayu felt somewhat insinuated, the big boss turned out to know the habit of Bayu who likes to fire employees.
"They've known him for two months. Better get the wedding done soon. How about next month?" Again Andi made a statement that Ica was not ready to hear.
"Huh? Next month? One more month, that means?" ask Ica surprised instead of playing.
"Yes, faster is better, right? After all, the two of you have agreed to be betrothed. Yeah, just get married, right? Do you feel like one more month is too soon, Ica?" answered Andi while looking at the people from Arshad Group it—family Ica.
"If according to Ica, yes, Om. You see, the wedding preparation is, right, a lot. Print invitations, ngundang people, not to mention wedding dress fittings, choose a wedding building, catering, and so on. Is one month enough?" tanya Ica makes sure. Actually, she was also not ready if it was as soon as it changed her status as a wife of people. Ica also felt that quickly it would make it difficult for her to put her heart first to Bayu before the wedding was actually done. At least, he wants to put his heart on Bayu even a little, so that their marriage will not only be based on matchmaking, but also on the basis of love. It must have taken more than a month to cultivate a sense of love in each other's hearts, Ica thought.
"Even more than enough. Surya Group was the best management graduate on campus in his time, do not doubt our ability. This kind of business is even easy to arrange for us. Of course, the two families will help each other, plus help from the parties who will launch this marriage as well. Business will be safely resolved, really. What else do you want to worry about?" answer Andi steady. There was no gap anymore for Ica to open her voice after being answered so perfectly like that.
"If you've been said like that, Ica just follow, deh," said Ica sound resigned in Bayu's ear.
"You accepted it, Raisa? The wedding will be in one month, you know. Are you ready?" ask Bayu directly. He knew very well that Ica would usually argue long if faced with something similar like this if with Bayu. Bayu knew, Ica seemed to refrain from arguing because she was disinclined with Andi. Therefore, Bayu fishing Ica, it was also done so that Ica did not regret it later.
"Sir Bayu himself, is he ready?" ask Ica back.
"I've been ready from the beginning since I was betrothed. Another is with you. Maybe you are still confused about digesting everything. Everything seems suddenly to you. If you object, don't hesitate to say it" Bayu replied confidently. That made Ica a little nervous.
"I don't mind, though. I'm ready. I still have Mommy to rely on if I need someone to strengthen me with all this suddenness" replied Ica who forced herself to sound confident.
"Yes, that's it. The person in question seems to have no objection to the wedding which will be held in one month. The sooner the better indeed," Andi concluded.
