SPD (Daster Seller Sale)
263. Proposing

Everyone gathered behind Mr. Parman's grocery store. There is an outdoor hall built by Diky is quite spacious in complete with a table that is not too high to be similar to a Lesehan stall.

The women appear to prepare rice, lalapan, sambal and others. The men were burning chicken and fish.

"Sister, said Axell, Axell does not like, really, the same Rengganis. Because Axell will also be introduced mama and papa with the daughter of business partner mama and papa Buston," said Dimas who was grilling chicken with Nando.

"really?"ask Nando who looks ordinary.

"I'm sure Axell wasn't lying, brother. Because Axell never lied to me all this time. After all, if Axell liked the Rengganis, he would have taken the time to meet the Rengganis. But whenever there's free time, Axell always sees me,"

"But, it seems like the Rengganis don't like me, Dim," said Nando still looks ordinary. There's no enthusiasm at all.

"Why is it that big brother like not eagerly approaching Rengganis? Does your sister really not like Rengganis?"dimas asked a glance at Nando, then looked back at the chicken he was roasting.

"It's not like that. But I'm afraid she'll be with me just because she feels indebted to me. I want to find someone who loves me. I don't want to fight alone" said Nando, who had been lazy to chase women.

Hearing Nando's reasoning, Dimas couldn't speak anymore. Because what Nando said was true.

Honestly, Nando was interested in the Rengganis, but Nando felt that the Rengganis liked Axell. Since Bening died, Rengganis is the only girl who can attract Nando. But unfortunately Nando felt that the girl seemed to have no feelings for Nando and was closer to Axell.

Therefore Nando chose to focus on his work rather than chasing people who do not love him. Ever since Bening died, Nando hadn't thought of a mate. Feeling traumatized by choosing the wrong partner. Fear of being wrong again in choosing a life partner that even makes him disappointed and his heart hurt.

Moreover, Ayana is pregnant, so Nando does not think too much about a mate because Ayana's child will later become the next generation of their family. Nando is confident that Ayana and Dimas will have children that the family can be proud of.

"Not married is okay. The sons of Ayana and Dimas are also my children. I'm happy enough with the family I have now. Especially in addition to the family of Dimas and the friends of Dimas. Gathering like this is like having a warm family. I've been feeling happy," muttered Nando inwardly.

Delvin also helped with the baking. Delvin looked at the people around him. Everyone seemed to be talking and laughing together. Even his parents also looked happy and familiar with everyone in the place. And Delvin knew that if all those people became relatives because of Dimas, the brother he didn't admit to. The man who had been hated because of envy and spite in his heart.

When eating together, the simple food presented also feels so delicious. Though the side dish is also not a luxury food that costs millions of dollars, but eating in a warm family atmosphere is what makes everything more delicious.

"Oh, yeah, Rengganis, you've got a girlfriend yet?"hilda asked after they finished eating. Making everyone's attention immediately turned to Rengganis.

"Not yet, Tan," replied the honest Rengganis.

"It just so happens that if not. Ms. Ningsih, we were previously besan. What if we become besan again? We marry Nando and Rengganis. You want to, Nis, be Nando's wife?"hilda asked with a smile.

"Why did mama even propose to Rengganis here," muttered Geno sighing deeply.

Given his services that have helped Bu Ningsih and Rengganis a lot, Nando believes that Bu Ningsih and Rengganis will not refuse if Nando proposes to Rengganis. But Nando did not want Rengganis to marry him because of revenge, especially because of forced.

"Therefore, mama asked Rengganis first. If Rengganis wants, mama will make Rengganis as your daughter-in-law. If you don't want to, you're not forcing either. Mom saw you like Rengganis. If you say you don't like Rengganis, it means you're lying. But unfortunately you can't lie to your mama" said Hilda, who left Nando speechless.

"Yes, Ndo. If you like, apply directly. Axell wants us to meet a girl. If they match, we'll get Axell married soon, too" said Liliana. While Nando only smiled faintly in response to Liliana's words.

"How's Mrs Ningsih, Rengganis?"ask Hilda.

"I, anyway, it's up to the Rengganis," said Bu Ningsih who actually felt happy if Rengganis married Nando.

Ms. Ningsih knows very well how Nando is. To Bu Ningsih, Nando is a kind-hearted man and a dream daughter-in-law. But unfortunately he was not lucky because his daughter betrayed Nando.

"I'm whatever, mom alone," said Rengganis with a downcast face.

"Then, Ms. Ningsih and the Rengganis discuss it first. In a week, I will ask for the answer. If you want to accept our application, we will officially propose, "that Hilda is full of smiles.

"Yes. We'll discuss it," said Bu Ningsih with a smile.

Arriving at home, Ms. Ningsih invited Rengganis to talk. Wondering if Rengganis wants to marry Nando or not.

"Nis, how? Do you like Nak Nando? If you are, you agree that you are married to Nak Nando. It is difficult to find a good husband in this day and age. According to mom, Nak Nando is a good guy. Selflessly. I've received a lot of kindness from Nak Nando. Even we can live comfortably like this as well because of his kindness. If it's another family, maybe the mother will be hated, given how evil the mother's daughter is to them. But they are different, they are compassionate to the mother, treat the mother well and do not hate the mother at all. Mothers were even confused as to how to repay their kindness. Ah, mommy's slacking off. About their application, all decisions are up to you. Because the one who will live life is you. Not mom. I just said what I know about Nak Nando as a consideration for you to decide to accept or reject their application. And if you like other people, you don't have to accept their applications because they feel bad because they have done a lot for us. By the way, you look familiar with Nak Axell. But not with Nak Nando. Do you like Axell's son?"tanya Bu Ningsih looks probing after speaking at length.

"There's something like that, ma'am. I just feel indebted to Axell and he's comfortable talking to her. I have no more feelings for him. After all, he is the son of a rich man and will also be betrothed by his parents. How dare I like it, Mom. And as for Nando's brother, he doesn't say much, ma'am. So, I felt disdain for him, "that Rengganis is being honest.

"That's because you don't know him yet. Nando's son talks a lot when he's familiar. Just think about it first. Accept or reject this proposal. Yes already. It's night, we should sleep, "said Bu Ningsih then went to his room.

"Maybe I rejected their proposal. I am an orphan girl, a kara adopted by my mother. Given a decent life so I don't have to work as hard as I used to. Gathered in a good university. And we can live like this because of brother Nando's family. Even Nando's brother once helped me, got me out of jail and cleared my name. If there were no Nando, I would still be in jail. And after getting out of jail, the frills of the ex-con will stick to me. People will look down on me and I will also find it difficult to find a job. With all their goodwill towards my mother and me, there was no way I would reject their proposal. Besides, I don't have feelings for anyone either. If according to mother, sister Nando is a good husband candidate for me, then I will learn to love sister Nando," muttered Rengganis decided.
