"Actually this dinner is not just for the gathering because of the friendship of papa, mama and both parents from Anggi. But it has to do with you both."
"With me and the duck pulling?" Max looked at Anggi. "What's wrong with him?" Max's feelings are starting to get worse.
Somehow feeling he said, that his parents would match him with Anggi. But Max doesn't want to speculate first, out of fear of a wrong guess.
Ethan looked at Amanda, then the woman nodded her head. He looked back at Max and Anggi alternated.
"Mama, papa, Aunt Lulu and Om Rizal, we've agreed to match you both."
"What!" shocked Anggi and Max in unison, because they did not expect if they would be in a match.
Max looked at Anggi. 'So it turns out that my guess is correct, that there will be a matchmaking.' Then he looked towards his parents and shook his head. "No! I don't agree!" emphatically.
"You can't refuse!"
"Why can't you refuse? This is my life, Pah. I live it, I choose my own life partner and I don't want to be betrothed to a duck snatch like him! Just talking to him has already broken my eardrum, let alone having to marry him." Max refused firmly.
"Of Max .. That love can come with time."
"No. Once I said no, yes no. Sorry Om Aunt, Anggi, but I don't want to be restrained. I don't want to be forced. I live my life, so I want me to choose my partner." The man moved from his seat.
"So, talk to you, Max!" ethan joked, "you know why mom and dad set you up, 'cause-"
"With reason to want to further strengthen the relationship of brotherhood, friendship, is it?" Max shook his head while laughing bitterly. "Come on, Mah, Pah. This is not the time of Siti Nurbaya, Siti Markonah, this is already modern times, no longer the age of arranged marriage. So don't force me, okay! After all, neither I nor Anggi loved each other."
After saying that Max went from there. Ethan tries to call, but Amanda immediately holds her hand while shaking her head.
"From the beginning I told you, I don't agree." Rizal raised his talk. "I told you that this is no longer the age of matchmaking. They are both adults, and this is modern times. The matchmaking has sunk to nowhere .. they can choose their respective life partners."
"But-"
"Enough Mah, Pah, Om, Auntie! Don't make friendship between you to be an excuse to match us. I also disagree, because I also want to choose my own life partner. So never force us!"
Lulu looked at her daughter. "Fig ..." call him.
"Sorry Mah, Om, Auntie, if indeed me and Max are paired, then we will be united with love, not coercion. True what he said is not the time of arranged marriage, then I say goodbye first. I'm sorry I can't go to assalamualaikum's dinner!"
Anggi comes out of Amanda's house, while the parents of them just look at each other. "What was our decision wrong?" lulu said agitatedly.
"I think our decision was wrong. Never mind, just let them live their lives. After all, in the end if indeed they are paired together, so no one needs to worry," said Amanda who had been silent since.
"But baby ..." Ethan still doesn't accept it.
"Mas ... You know I was married to Darius because of what? Matchmaking. And in the end he cheated. Do you want our children to experience the same thing? Matchmaking does not only produce good results, it does not only foster love. They are afraid that they will be depressed by a chain of marriage, while between them they are not comfortable with each other which will eventually torture each other and they will have a partner and then cheat. Wouldn't that hurt each other?"
Hearing Amanda's explanation that has known a lot about love, even the bitterness in love like anything, all agree. They did not finally continue the marriage.

Max drives his car but he's confused where to go. Wanting to the bar is also lazy, because there are many sexy women who will seduce him while he needs calmness.
Arriving there, he immediately walked towards the kitchen, and there was a servant seeing the arrival of their Master. The waiter who was there lowered his head respectfully.
"Have you had dinner, sir?" ask butler Tere.
"Yet. Prepare a good meal, "Max replied, then he was about to leave the table but stopped his steps. "Where's Olivia?"
"Miss Olivia is scrubbing clothes upstairs, sir."
"Call him and tell him to cook me some food! I want to test his skills. When you're done, call me! You know what my favorite food is, right? No one's helping her, let her cook for herself, you know!"
"Understand young master."
After getting an answer from the butler, Max walks upstairs to his room, after which he picks up a laptop and starts struggling with his job.
After a few minutes of bitter taste, Max's tongue was called by Tere's maid to call Olivia to her room.
"Lake in!" tell Max when he hears the knock on the door.
"You're calling me, sir?" Olivia lowered her head, because she knew that Max was now her boss whether at work or at home.
"Please make me some coffee! Scroll a spoon and you have to stir it from left to right 8 times."
Hearing Max's ridiculous request, Olivia frowned. "He thinks rocking drilling, should be stirred from left to right," Olivia wrote and was still heard by Max.
"What did you say?" Max stared intently at the woman.
"There is no sir. I'm just saying, well I'll make it." The woman came out of Max's room, walked into the kitchen and began making coffee for the man.
"So he said a spoonful of sugar, then turned to ... Why did I forget, how many times? Ah, that's ... in the end, the taste of coffee is the same, too" grumbled Olivia.
He went back to the room. "This is Mr. Coffee you asked for." Max immediately took the coffee and he drank it. "I've said stirred 8 times from left to right, aoakah budeg, huh?"
Hearing that Olivia squeezed the tray in her hand. 'Basin' killer. Weigh the coffee very complicated.'
"Replace!" tell Max while pushing the coffee.
"Well Mr. "Olivia rolled her eyeballs lazily while clenching her irritated teeth, because she thought the coffee problem alone should be that complicated.
"Lho, was the coffee brought back, brother?" azura asked while she was in the kitchen.
"Yes, it's wrong, because the stirring is not using drilling," said Olivia in a very upset tone.
"Eh, it's not to be thrown away, what a pity! It's new, right?" asked the waiter Tere and immediately replied a nod by Olivia. "Then I give the security guard up ahead." The woman nodded too.
He returned to make coffee for Max, but when he was going to put sugar the woman thought. "If a spoon, fear of diabetes, half a spoon," he said, then he put half a spoon of sugar and stirred from left to right 8 times.
"This is Mr. coffee." Olivia puts the coffee in front of Max. The man drinks it back, but suddenly he stares at Olivia and rushes through her desk in anger.
SERIATE.....
