MARRY MY LOVER'S BEST FRIEND
CHAPTER 12

Rayi and I looked at each other. After I had forgotten about the dark caller, he suddenly contacted me with another number and guiltlessly called me asking why I was blocking him. Does he not feel guilty for bothering me?

"Hopefully your show will go well tonight, yes" he said in a relaxed tone.

"Who are you?" I asked in a sharp tone and very unfriendly.

"If fate blesses me, I am your future" he said confidently.

"meaning?" ask me with a firm tone.

"Well, my love, I wish you happiness always" he said, ending the call.

I tried to contact her again but as before, her number was off. Rayi tried to guess the identity of the dark caller. Starting from an old acquaintance, someone who intends to prank or just prank, until someone who was told by the Cloud to test my loyalty.

"Oh, maybe it's Bara," said Rayi.

"Impossible, her voice is Bara. I memorized that Bara," I said as I ruffled my hair.

"Rubber? but yes too. Laughing is like a demit. But that voice was like I'd heard it before" Rayi said as she continued to think.

Who the hell is he? All this time other than the Clouds, I've never been too close to any man. The rest are really just ordinary friends, the rest are friends at work.

My phone rang again and we quickly saw the identity of the caller and it turned out to be Cloud. The clouds told me that he was coming to pick me up soon and asked me to get ready so he wouldn't wait long. He also said he would accompany me to buy new clothes for both of us to look harmonious.

...****************...

I wear a knee-length dress with maroon red and minimalist makeup and beautiful curly hair while Awan wears a shirt with the same color as my dress. His parents were waiting for us at the round table with four other people. I thought you would only eat four, but in fact there was someone else who was also taking part in the event tonight. I tried to relax even though in my head thought of silly attempts to escape.

In addition to her parents, Om and the Clouds and Chloe and Sophie. What are they here for? Isn't this a family event? What are they both doing for. Chloe also seemed to dislike my presence.

Dining events are filled with conversations about their daily lives and business. I feel like the commoners invited to the palace party are completely ignorant of what they are discussing.

"So what do you have to do?" chloe asked suddenly at me.

"I'm just an employee at a garment factory" I said confidently and proudly.

"He's the manager there" added Awan who made me even more proud.

"Even if the manager is not his own business someday can also be fired and have nothing," said Chloe impressed me humbling.

I lowered my head and the Clouds glared slightly towards Chloe. What does Chloe mean by saying that? Does he want to make it clear that I'm not level with them? Is it in Chloe's eyes that I'm that little? like a horn among a group of elephants.

"I live in housing and still KPR, it's been 3 years, if my car does not have because at this time I only need a motorcycle," I said with a defiant look towards Chloe. Why is it that mine is not as bright as theirs? After all, why did Chloe's words seem to bring me down?

"Are you sure?" chloe asked with eyes as if everything I had was meaningless.

"Of Course, is there a problem?" I said with a firm tone. If he wants to make a fuss, I'm ready to face him. He thinks he who can look down on me. I've never been afraid as long as I'm not wrong and I don't hurt anyone.

"Chloe, can you stop? You have made your love feel uncomfortable" said Awan's father.

It was only Chloe who was looking for things. Maybe he felt rivaled, because all this time he brags everywhere and confesses that he is his girlfriend Awan but the fact tonight Clouds brought me here not just as a girlfriend, but as a boyfriend, but also as his future wife. Let's just see, to where Chloe tried to scrape up my flaws and tried to exalt herself by trampling on my pride.

"But Om, are Om sure of the Cloud option? She's too ordinary, nothing special," Chloe said.

"Sorry before if it's too slow. Indeed, I am only a factory employee, but to be able to reach this point, all for my own efforts and abilities, including the property that I have, although you think it is normal, all for me, it's officially mine, my own sweat, without asking anyone to count on my parents" I said gracefully as emotions rose. I set my breath so that my emotions did not explode and ended up embarrassing myself.

I tried to stand up to get away from this place but her tantric hand was embracing my shoulder with a smile.

"A self-sufficient woman with a strong will like you who deserves to be the daughter-in-law of our family" she said, applauded by everyone but Chloe. He applauded and admitted his defeat.

It felt good that the Awan family received me well. Chloe and Sophie were not invited, they happened to meet the Awan family and were invited to join together. But who would have thought that Chloe had malicious intentions to vilify me in front of them.

"Where are your parents, son? asked his mother Awan with a friendly look.

"After retirement, they chose to live in the village and work on rice fields and durian and rambutan gardens," I said without shame to my parents' condition which was considered nothing special by Chloe.

He didn't know that my parents were called 'juragan' in the village because the rice fields and gardens were acres. Not to mention the father's rice warehouse that can meet the needs of one subdistrict, but why brag about everything. If all is totaled, the assets are not inferior to their own, it's just that we are not used to living in luxury. We are used to living simply.

At the beginning of my retirement, my father, we were at the lowest point because all of my father's property was controlled by his uncle so I had to work hard to find money to finance college and everyday life. However, the last two years there was an old friend of the father who helped him bring the case to justice and all the father's rights back into his possession.

"Think what, baby?" cloud half-whispered while gently holding my finger.

"Suddenly misses the mother's father," I said reasoned.

"Maybe in the near future Awan will meet you your parents to propose" his mother said.

There are no words I can say. I feel like everything is going too fast. I just enjoyed dating the way I wanted. It's not impossible if next Sunday they propose, next month I'm married.

"Yes" I replied with a faint smile.

Well, what should I do, why didn't the Clouds tell me about this proposal? I have to tell mom.
