Girlfriend becomes?

Contract boyfriend?

Seasonal boyfriend?

Or, a real girlfriend?

Obviously the latter is impossible. Angel knows won't put the last option in his shadow. It makes no sense according to him. Where is there a real courtship with an established man like Louis? He just doesn't want to be disappointed by himself. So, Angel keeps making a fortress for herself so as not to get too big of a head and hopes her secret love is reciprocated.

The atmosphere turned even more awkward when in Louis' room there was only himself and also the owner of the place. Mbak Rita is still busy with the stage team in the main hall of this fifteen-story building.

Angel knows, Louis only bluffs Luke to no longer appear in his broadcast company because it is quite disturbing for Louis. But, for some reason, Angel's face could not stop blushing as her eyes accidentally came into contact with Louis's. Ah, he's too big a head. Especially when Louis says they will be engaged in the next few months.

That's impossible.

“Sorry, I'm presumptuous to say so. I just don't want Luke to bother you anymore. In addition, I am also not comfortable with him.”

Angel looked straight at Louis with such a sad highlight.

“If I may know, what is the reason you feel uncomfortable with Lukas.” asked Angel trying to browse even though he did not expect to get an answer. “After me, Luke's nature has been like that ever since I knew him. She's kind of rese.”

Louis smiled from his place standing near the stretch of glass facing the city streets that were seen starting to solid at three in the afternoon.

“I don't know much about Lukas either. But there is one thing that reminds me of the past when I saw Luke. So, I feel suddenly uncomfortable if it is near or around.”

Angel still doesn't understand completely. But he tried to give a nod in response to the information he had just heard from Louis.

“Good. I'd like to say goodbye then.”

Hearing Angel retreat, Louis turned and looked at the narrow back of Angel who had turned her back.

“Wait,”

Footsteps lined with jet black jeans and conversing shoes worn by Angel stopped. He turned and found Louis, who had cut his distance and stopped no more than a meter in front of him.

“Yes, is there something you need?”

Louis seemed to think. He was busy composing and stringing words to give an explanation to Angel about the confession that claims Angel as his lover.

“Eumm ... was .. sorry. I'm really sorry for being so presumptuous to say if we were my lover.”

As Angel has set in his heart if a relationship with Louis is something Impossible. It can't happen.

“I don't matter, sir. I also apologize because I could not stop Lukas and ask him to leave, making you feel uncomfortable.”

Louis put his palm on his pants pocket and looked at Angel with a soft look.

“It wasn't your fault. I just don't want Luke to bother you and make you uncomfortable too.”

To be honest, Angel felt fine and was not at all bothered by Luke's attitude and nature. Considering they were once in one school and never near as well even though the tip Angel must reject Luke's love statement and make the young man heartbroken.

“Ah, yes. So the point is, me and my father remain in the position of employees and superiors.”

Louis held his words in his throat for a moment. He wanted to convey something, but was still looking for the right topic to start with. Because it's about the heart.

“It ... in case I—”

Louis' sentence was paused by a phone call from his desk. The expensive phone is shaking.

“Sorry, please go back to your desk. I'll call you later if I need something.”

Angel bowed fifteen degrees, then passed from Louis' room in quick motion.

Louis immediately grabbed the phone on the table, then answered the call that turned out to be from the mother.

“Yes, mam.”

“You can go home. Mama there's a small dinner with friends mama.”

Louis frowned. What does dinner have to do with her friends and herself? Especially friends here are friends of the mother.

“Why should Louis come? Is that a mama show?” louis protested disapprovingly, he did not want to die bored because the topic of discussion of parents would be very boring.

“ Anyway, go home before seven p.m. Mama wait.”

The call just ended. Louis was increasingly irritated because there were so many events that made him lose his good mood. Moreover, his mother did not like to be denied and Louis was forced to obey what was the decision and desire of his mother. If it wasn't his mother, Louis wouldn't have followed.

***

Despite his dislike, Louis remained fair and arrived home before six p.m. When his tired steps towards the kitchen to take cold drinking water from the refrigerator, he stared at the dining table that was filled with dishes of various types. Louis counted the plates attached to the table, there were about six plates. Well, it turns out that his mother's guests are more than one person.

“Mama any event anyway, bi?”

The woman named May smiled warmly. The woman who worked here more than half her age then gave a floating answer that made Louis second-guess himself if there was one specific purpose of this meeting.

“Mistress says there is a family meeting, den.”

Family gathering? Which family?

“Family meeting?” louis asked while frowning as he increasingly did not understand. Aunt May nodded.

“Lho is home? Take a shower, gih. Her guest is already on his way here.”

“Actually there is an event what the hell mam?”

Jenita looked at her son. He raises both palms towards the waist. “Later also know yourself.”

Hearing the answer from the mother further made Louis lose interest. He put the glass he previously used to drink into the sink, then intend to go from there and clean himself.

But, Jenita's voice screaming in the distance made Louis again stop his steps.

“Wear neat clothes.” exclaim mama do not want to be denied.

After spending a few minutes bathing and getting dressed, Louis came out of the room to see the situation.

And yep! His mother's mission was to try to introduce Louis to a woman and then set up a match with her. If you ask how Louis knows that? The answer is the view that there is a dining table there. There was a husband and wife and a woman who sat back to Louis's current whereabouts.

Louis is not stupid. He knows his mother's purpose now. The trap will definitely not be wrong.

Gontai's move brought Louis personally to join at the dining table. He walked while confirming the location of the watch on his wrist. In accordance with the wishes of the mother, Louis looked neat. A dark-colored shirt, matching color pants, and well-groomed hair made a charismatic aura passed down by Hutama to his son, it appears and becomes a special attraction for every eye who looks at the figure of Louis.

“Well, this is what awaited has come.” said Jenita greeted Louis who had a flat expression when standing up and was about to pull back one of the chairs beside her mother was. “Lou, introduce. This is the Tantono family, the owner of the tea garden and the largest tea processing company that is on the peak there.” said Jenita. He then continued to talk by mentioning one by one the family members to Louis. “That's sir Rudi Tantono,”

“Halo, good night Lou.”

“Goodnight, uncle.” greet Louis suave. He even smiled stiffly, then bowed as a salute.

“Well, if it's his wife, Anita Tantono.”

“Goodnight Lou.” greet the woman is friendly.

Doing the same, Louis bowed fifteen degrees as a greeting and salute.

“And that, Liana. Family only daughter by Tantono.”

The girl smiled warmly as her eyes met with Louis. While Louis who felt not so interested in events like this, still maintained a stiff smile and flat face when welcoming a young girl's hand across the table.

“Liana, just call Lia.”

“Louis.” answered Louis briefly, not saying much.

Anita smiled happily to see the only princess was blushing. Apparently Lia agreed with the matchmaking they were about to do. Whereas before, the girl rejected the absurd event in this modern era.

Another case with Jenita who looks enthusiastic, Hutama looks calm with his strong inherent obligation. He could read her son's uncomfortable facial expressions, and seemed to disagree with the event. He did not even look at Louis who began to pull the chair and sit quietly in his place.

“So, this dinner event is held for what purpose, ma?”

Louis surprised. It turns out that his father also did not know the purpose of his mother holding dinner with the Tantono family who successfully owned the hectare tea land.

“Ah, how about we talk over dinner alone, pa?”

Hutama did not speak, but nodded. Then begin to lead the do'a to give thanks for the food they can enjoy today. And dinner began after Hutama took the plate and filled it with rice and side dishes.

Talks about business, stocks and others became the opening topic. The two heads of the family are like a match, plus Hutama junior who really understands it, adding to the harmony of their lifestyles. Then before long, Jenita conveyed her intention and purpose to make this event.

“Louis has been almost thirty-one years, this year. So, I intend to introduce him to the daughter of mr. tantono.” he said interrupting the silence that became a pause. She pointed that line to Hutama, her husband.

Bingo. Louis's guess did not miss at all. This impromptu meeting was designed by his mother to make an arranged marriage. Louis chose not to react to his mother's words.

Louis canceled scooping rice. His lower arm touched the edge of the table as his brain tried to find subtle sentences of rejection so as not to embarrass himself and his family too much. She completely disagrees with Jenita's idea of making her bound in the sacred promise of marriage, without love.

“Lia sweet and pretty girl. It looks like it will be fitting when juxtaposed with Louis.” said Jenita, jumawa while looking at her own son with the Tantono family's daughter in turn. He even forgot if he ever admired the figure of Angel who ever made it smart to have a granddaughter with a bule face.

“Thank you for the compliment, aunt.” said Lia shyly. He couldn't help but feel happy imagining living with a handsome, established man like Louis.

While Louis, he tightened his fist until the handle of the spoon pressed firmly and made his knuckle whiten.

With his usual ability to show calmness, Louis began to speak.

“Before I apologized for interrupting the conversation.” said Louis a little hesitant, but chose to remain honest. “Mam, we shouldn't be friends first. Get to know each other to know each other's personality and character.”

Jenita has been swerving wide. He disliked the way Louis rejected his idea. Yes of course, Jenita is a smart person who knows the movements of a person's behavior, especially her own son.

“And I think, I should also talk first to someone.”

All eyes were on Louis. The man was happy to have managed to make the entire attention centered on him at this moment. “I have to talk about this first with my lover.” []
