Hilda walked towards Ayana's room. The middle-aged woman who is the mother of Ayana still looks beautiful with well-groomed skin and body. The woman looked graceful in a maroon-red dress that contrasted with her pure white skin.
"Simplek"Hilda opened her daughter's bedroom door.
"Is it ready?"hilda asked and then watched her daughter.
"It's ready, ma'am,"that the two ART men who were helped by a MUA to dress Ayana.
"Lumayan" said Hilda looking at her daughter who was wearing the same maroon red dress as herself, but with a different design.
"Ma, what's the show today?"asked Ayana who had been very curious.
"Your sister's engagement ceremony" Hilda replied as she tidied Ayana's clothes.
"Sister's engagement?"ask Ayana. Ayana rarely met her family, including her sister. Her father was busy galvanizing her brother as the successor of the company.His mother was busy in her boutiques and socialite world. Their days passed with their own busyness. Rarely eat and gather with family. Eat with clients and friends more often than with family. Rarely go home. Not knowing where the three of them slept, Ayana did not know.
"Yes. Your sister likes her own secretary. Since the girl was a beautiful and intelligent girl, then mom and dad blessed them. Oh yes, there will be many guests from among business people. Mama will introduce you to some young business people and also the sons of business people who will attend later. Be as good as possible! Who knows, there is one among business people or the son of business people who like you. With your beauty, mama sure, there will be many men who like you and are willing to marry you" Hilda said at length.
"Mama don't joke! I'm still in school, ma," Ayana protested in shock at her mother's speech.
"Of course my mom wasn't kidding. If you can marry one of those businessmen, there will be an opportunity to work with their company and make our company even bigger" Hilda said.
"Is it just money that mom and dad have in mind? Mom and Dad are always busy looking for money without paying attention to me. Even for a month I didn't come home, mom and dad didn't ask me, let alone look for me. And suddenly my mom told me to go home just to show the guys. For the company to get bigger. Do I mean nothing to you?"fawning Ayana with teary eyes. His parents wanted to use him to make their company bigger. Do both parents consider themselves an asset that can be used to make a profit? That's what's in Ayana's brain.
"You just follow what Mom says. We were too busy to pay you any attention. But if you can get engaged to one of the business people who attend later, you will get the attention of your fiance later," said Hilda trying to persuade Ayana.
"I don't want to! I'm leaving this house!"push Ayana blatantly. Feeling angry with his mother. I want to get out of that room. But Hilda immediately held him back.
"If you don't want to, mom and dad will revoke all your facilities. You will be sent to school and picked up by a driver. You will bring supplies from home, because mom will take your ATM card and will not give you a penny. You still dare to refuse to meet with those businessmen?"threaten Hilda's.
"Whatever! I don't want to stay here anymore" Ayana tried to let go of her hand held by her mother.
"You want to go back to your friend's house? Do you think they will treat you well if you don't give them anything? Do you think they'll let you stay for free with them? You know for yourself if they live mediocre. Do you think they'll be willing to accept you and give you free food and shelter?"cecar Hilda made Ayana speechless. Hilda had deliberately told people to watch over her daughter from afar. That's why Hilda never asked Ayana. Because her man always reported Ayana's activities.
Ayana silently stared If Hilda took all her facilities, there was no way she would return to Wulan's house. How could he eat and live in his friend's house without giving anything? While Ayana knows if the family lives simply with mediocre money. In fact, often Ayana saw Miss Lastri wash and iron the clothes of some neighbors.
"Let's get out! If there is one businessman who likes you, then you will be betrothed to him. Behave well! If you deliberately give a bad impression on the prospective business people, mama will completely revoke all your facilities!" threaten Hilda again pulled Ayana's hand.
"Why not just a sister who married one of the daughters of the business people so that our company is getting bigger. Why should I?"ayana Protest.
Ayana felt that her parents were favoritism. They always prioritize and obey whatever wishes of their brother. But always ignore his wishes.
"I just want the attention of my mom and dad. Is that wrong?"asked Ayana with teary eyes.
"What more attention do you want? We have met all your needs. Is that less? If we don't work day and night, do you think you can get what mom and dad gave you right now? Mama and papa don't even have time to vacation so that all your needs are met. You still have a lot of behavior like this and that. It's already! Don't make your mom angry! Observe what your mom says if you don't want a parenthesis, "sergah Hilda.
Hilda again pulled Ayana's hand out of the room. Without saying anything else, Ayana followed her mother's footsteps out of the room. The two also approached Nando, Ayana's sister.
"Why your sister and your future sister-in-law!"hilda said to Ayana.
"How are you, brother?"ayanas greeting to her sister.
"Oh, it turns out you, do you remember having a house?"asked Nando then chuckled. Makes Ayana snort annoyed.
"I guess you forgot you had a sister" said Ayana.
"I just don't want to remember having a bad sister. Oh yes, meet, this is Bening, your future sister-in-law," Nando said as he embraced the beautiful woman next to him.
"Hello! I'm Clear," said Bening extending his hand to Ayana with a sweet and friendly smile.
"I'm Ayana. Brother's face is clear, matching the name of the sister," said Ayana chuckled small.
"Yes, yes! It's you, just a clear face. But not with your brain,"nando's lips made Ayana pop her lips.
"Already! Let's start the show soon. After that mom will introduce Ayana to the young business man who is present here," Hilda said.
"Not to be too picky, ma. The important thing is rich. People just look like capital doang like that. Ayana had nothing but a beautiful face. Thankful if anyone wants to,"sindir Nando looked down on his own sister.
"Look! I will have a husband who is smarter and more handsome than my sister" Ayana said with an arrogant heart.
"Oh yeah? We'll see, "challenge Nando, smile at his side raising his eyebrows.
