My mother's nanny
chapter 23
"Married?" ask Ardi and Diah at the same time.
The two men looked at each other. Ardi who had just been disappointed by a woman, of course, could not be as easy as receiving a request from her mother. Especially Diah. The girl's just a nanny. How could the girl dream of marrying the employer?
"Why? You're both single and not in a relationship with anyone, right? You are also grown up and deserve to be married. Less what else?" said Bu Dewi.
The middle-aged woman felt marrying Ardi and Diah was a good idea. Ardi can soon forget Mila and Miss Dewi can also get the daughter-in-law he wants. Plus, Diah can get a new family and does not have to work hard to support herself.
"Ma, don't ask for anything weird! Ardi hasn't thought about it. Ardi and Mila's relationship just fell apart, now that Mama's been offering another girl to Ardi?" tukas Ardi tried to refuse his mother's request.
"I'm not ready to get married either, ma'am. And again, there is no way that I will marry Mr. Ardi" Diah said.
Both of them rejected firmly the idea of the Goddess Mother. They felt that Madam Dewi was in too much of a hurry to make a decision.
"Ardi, your age is mature enough. You want to wait until when else? You want to find your own chosen girl again? How about you meet the other Mila-Mila out there?" namel Bu Dewi's.
"And you, Diah .. I also think you are very ready to get married and become a wife. Why don't you want to try it with Ardi? I'm sure Ardi can make you happy, "persuade Miss Diah.
Ardi and Diah kept shaking with their compotes. "Don't talk no, Ma! Ardi didn't want to start a relationship like this! Ardi also had no feelings and any effect on Diah. Just because Ardi knows Diah, and Diah isn't married, doesn't mean Ardi should marry Diah, right?"
"Diah's a good girl, Ardi. If you let go of the opportunity now, you might lose a girl as good as Diah later. It is hard to find a good girl in this day and age. You just look at your ex-boyfriend, maybe you know a sneaky girl like Mila who can act like this criminal," Miss Dewi again brought up the woman of her son's choice.
Discussions are no longer inevitable. Ardi still rejects the idea of the mother, while Miss Dewi still insists on persuading her son. While Diah can only listen and occasionally chimed in the words of the Goddess Mother without daring to refute the words of her former employer.
"We're going home now, Ma! Don't make a fuss here!" ardi said to Bu Dewi.
Madam Dewi gave a pretty amazing answer. Previously Bu Dewi forced Ardi to immediately look for Diah, then this time Bu Dewi again forced Ardi to marry the girl of his choice.
"Mama will not leave here if you refuse to marry Diah," said Miss Dewi firmly. "Mama's never asked you much all this time, has she? Just follow one request Mama you don't want? Then what else is Mama living for?"
Bu Dewi more dramatic and make Ardi more dizzy. "If you want to go home, go home alone! Mama won't come home if Diah doesn't come!" tukas Bu Dewi's.
The middle-aged woman was really stubborn. Miss Dewi will do everything possible to make Diah and Ardi willing to obey her will.
"Ma, don't talk like that! Let's go home now, mah!" take Ardi to Miss Dewi in a soft voice.
"It's dark soon, ma'am. It's better for the Madam to go home now" Diah added, trying to help Ardi persuade the sulking Lady.
"Mama wouldn't have come home if Diah hadn't come home with us. Mama wouldn't eat if Diah wouldn't come home with us!" Bu Dewi again launched his hunger strike only so that his wishes were fulfilled by the son.
"Ma, let's consider this carefully. Ardi and Diah don't know each other very well. Please don't force it like this!" persuade Ardi with a soft voice. As much as possible the man did not raise the voice in front of the Goddess Mother and persuaded her mother patiently with a soft voice.
"Mama doesn't want to know! Mama won't come home and Mama won't eat if Diah doesn't become Mama's daughter-in-law!" Miss Dewi still ngeyel and forced Ardi to marry Diah immediately.
After a long debate, Ardi was finally forced to give up. That guy has to lose. Inevitably Ardi must fulfill the wishes of his mother.
"How, Diah? You want to come home with us to town?" ask Ardi to Diah.
Diah fell silent. The girl began to feel sorry for the Goddess Mother. If Ardi had agreed, there would be no reason for Diah to refuse.
"If indeed Mr. Ardi is willing to accept me, I will try not to disappoint Master," said Diah indirectly agreed to the wishes of the Goddess Mother who wants to marry the girl to her son.
"You guys actually agreed to get married?" ask the Goddess again to make sure.
Ardi glanced at Diah. The man also nodded in front of Bu Dewi, followed by Diah who also agreed to the request of Bu Dewi.
With a heavy heart, they immediately brought Diah to go to the city and make the girl as Ardi's bride. Miss Dewi was really excited finally she was able to re-group with Diah and managed to make the girl become her daughter-in-law.
"You don't have to worry. Mama's gonna be preparing for your wedding!" said Bu Dewi to Ardi and Diah.
The two people could only nod without daring to refute. Diah really didn't expect the girl to get married in this kind of unpleasant way.
"Diah, thank you so much for coming back to this house. Thank you very much for receiving Ardi" said Miss Diah.
"No need to hesitate, Madam. I'm also happy to be back in this house and to be with the Madam" he said.
"Why still call the lady? From today call me mama!" the Order of the Goddess Mother to Diah.
Although awkward, but Diah tried his best to obey all the will of Bu Dewi. "Yes, Mama!" cetus Diah's.
Miss Dewi was busy taking care of everything related to the preparation of her son's wedding reception. The woman seems excited when contacting the wedding organizer to the makeup artist that she will use at the special event of her only son.
Until finally the wedding day arrived. Although Bu Dewi prepared the whole series of events suddenly, but eventually everything can run smoothly according to the plan.
"May you be happy, yes!" said Miss Dewi to Ardi and also Diah.
On this happy day, Ardi and Diah had to smile in front of Bu Dewi until the event was held. In front of the many invited guests who came, Ardi and Diah continued to develop a smile even though their hearts were in turmoil.
'I'm a wife now?' diah doesn't believe.
'I'm a husband now?' ardi also felt unprepared.
After the event ended, Ardi and Diah rushed to find a place to rest. Inevitably, because it has become a married couple, Ardi and Diah also have to share a room together.
"Happy rest, yes!" said Miss Dewi leaving Diah in Ardi's room.
"Yes, Ma. Mama too" said Ardi.
Ardi and Diah fell silent. The two look at each other. Of course they feel clumsy and awkward being in the same room.
"S-I slept first," Diah told Ardi.
Ardi just nodded. The man saw Diah who was busy rolling out mats to sleep on the floor. Yes, despite being a married couple, Diah still remains self-conscious. The girl also knew very well that Ardi had married her just because he had to.
Ardi himself also did not prevent Diah who wanted to sleep on the floor. The man also did not offer Diah to sleep with him in bed. Finally the first night between the couple was spent sleeping separately, with Ardi sleeping on the bed, while Diah slept on the floor mat.
'Don't expect more from this wedding, Diah. Mr. Ardi was only forced to marry you. You were never really the wife of Mr. Ardi.' Inner Diah.
