"Pa, Pa Bram's secretary called me on and on regarding the contract of cooperation they offered, have you decided yet?" dean asked Armand who was just sitting at his desk
"No, I haven't decided yet, your last piece of information is enough to convince me that Mandala isn't like the company in general" Armand replied as he turned on his laptop and started working
"So do I just refuse pa?"
This time Armand turned to Dean before answering "no need, we see how important this cooperation is to Bram, let him come here himself if need be"
"Okay pa, then excuse me" Dean bowed his head slightly then turned towards the door, but his steps came to a halt as Armand called back
"Dean, there are some things you need to take care of, and it should be done before next week!"
Dean frowned, as nothing urgent happened in the company "What about Pa?"
"My wedding" replied Armand casually
Dean looked and looked thinking
"Why even dumb, quickly there back in your room, I'll email about the details"
"Pa, are you really sure? I thought you'd just play with Miss Lisa"
"When have you ever seen me play with women?" Armand asked back, only adding to the confusion in Dean's cerebellum
"Pa, instead of getting married it's for those who like each other, does Miss Lisa like you too Pa?" the right question hits Armand's heart, because it indirectly damages Armand's title as every woman's dream man
"YOU..."Armand pointed his index finger at Dean, eager to scold him but he paused
"Haaaa, it's useless that I make you a private secretary, your brain is never in sync"
"Sorry, I'll stop asking you that"
"Do you really not know why I want to marry her?"
"Of course I know, 'cause Miss Lisa's pretty, right? is there any more? you don't know Miss Lisa yet either" Dean's innocent reply came back to stab Armand in the heart
"Fuck you, I'm free to talk to you"
Dean chuckled, looking at the annoyed Armand
"Sorry pa, I don't know your heart, but.I don't want to happen to you later, if your goal is to marry Miss Lisa just to reveal her identity, but, you better think about it, aren't there many other ways besides marrying her? you better marry the one you love pa" this time Dean is serious about his words
Armand seemed to think for a moment to hear Dean's words that were true
"Somehow, I just want to put it in the closest place, very close, and easily accessible to me, and that's the only way I think about it, besides marriage for someone like me is not far from business, not necessarily I'll find the person I love before my parents match me"
This time Dean who is silent, the marriage for the jetset is indeed nothing more than a business case that will benefit both parties, including his boss, better he who chooses than he who is chosen, he said, as soon as Dean thought, at least his boss would be in control of his marriage.
"If so, I will pray only for your happiness"
"Yes, I hope I'm happy"
"I'll excuse you then"
"Hemm"
Dean came out of the room leaving Armand who was wrestling with his laptop again, but his hand suddenly stopped, Dean's words again ringing in Armand's ear
"Love huh?"
"May I be in love?"
Armand leaned his body in the chair while shaking his left-right shake, his mind was floating, even his memory of the incident this morning in the back yard came to his eyes, and suddenly he smiled to himself remembering the incident
"What is she doing now?"
..._______________...
"Ma, are we going somewhere else?" ask Lisa to Nadia's mom
"There are three more places"
After breakfast, the future mother-in-law immediately took Lisa out of the house, from this morning she had gone to the salon for treatment, kept her around the mall, shopping for whatever, no matter what, Lisa did not pay attention to what her mother bought, she only answered yes every time she was asked.
Just walking around the mall took hours, and now the future mother-in-law said there were still three more places they would go.
*M*ending tell me to run around the field..
Lisa stepped back to follow her future father-in-law even though with a careless step, Madam Nadia who did not find Lisa beside her turned her head immune and saw Lisa who was walking lazily
"Are you tired, Sa? he said he likes traveling, the new time of the road so early already cape?" ask Nadia to Lisa
"Yes ma, but this is not traveling, this is shopping" Lisa replied with a flat face
"Same, same kelilling around, right, or you want to have lunch here?"
"Ah yes lunch, I want a break"
"Yaudah if so we go to the foodcourt, when my mom wanted to take you to my favorite Japanese restaurant"
"Ga what next time the impression, means our goal is two more dong ma?" Lisa was already excited because she thought the purpose of her trip was reduced if she had lunch at the Mall
"Three steps, lunch is not counted" replied Bu Nadia relaxed as it passed leaving Lisa who returned to frowning
.
.
.
"Aahh, finally full too, thanks for the food ma" Lisa said as she rubbed her flat stomach full after spending a bowl of ramen
"You really are full, you should eat rice, why even noodles?"
"It's good afternoon to eat noodles that pedes ma, let seger"
"You want to drink ice instead of eating spit"
"Haha, seger version of her I'm another than the other ma"
Lisa and Madam Nadia chuckle together, there is no sense of awkwardness between them, now they look like real mothers and children.
"Lisa, did you and Armand set your wedding date?"
Lisa who was sipping her lemon tea almost choked
"Not ma, but Armand said about a week away" Lisa said in a voice that grew quieter at the end of the sentence
"ONE WEEK!!" The shocked Madam Nadia stood up from her desk while pounding the table
"Ssttt, don't date me to date ma, later mama's guess again collect the debt"
Madam Nadia sat back down after hearing Lisa's words and looked around who was watching them.
"Why a big cepet, Armand also did not say what the same mama, mama is not yet pesen kebaya, your wedding dress can also be ordered within a week"
"Yes, I'm also surprised, try the mama who talked to Armand"
It is easy to hope that Armand will ngundurin time if mama asks
"Okay, I'll have a chat with Armand, let him back off in two weeks"
Whhaatt, what's the difference if you only retreat for another week, it should be at least three months back Mother Rita
Lisa who was upset herself with her mother-to-be was only able to massage her temples, enduring the headaches caused by the mother and child duo
Seeing Lisa who was still downcast while kneeling her temple, immediately made Madam Nadia anxious
"You why Sa? you got a headache? or are you nauseous? or don't don't...YOU PREGNANT??"
The people around turned their heads back towards them, while Lisa who was shocked by the words of Bu Nadia just gawked round her eyes with her mouth open
