Happy Reading 🤗

...🌹🌹🌹...

The next morning on Sunday, Rita returned to the Ismalian residence to discuss the match between Ismalia and Mandala, which will be engaged in first. Rita was worried because there would be a third person who would be present to tease Mandala. Therefore, in order to strengthen the bond a little, an engagement must be made between Ismalia and Mandala.

The driver and Rita have now traced the narrow path to Ismalia's house. Arriving on the porch of the house Rita knocked on the door.

Tok tok tok tok

"Assalamualaikum.." said Rita who was then followed by the house, Mother Mastiara.

"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat...Uh, come in."

"Yes, thank you."

"Sorry Mom Rita, son Is again out for a while to the stall. Maybe it will come soon" said Mastiara.

"Eh.no Bu Mastiara. I'm just here to talk to Mom about Ismalia and Mandala."

Mastiara became curious about what Rita wanted to talk about them.

"What does he mean about them? Why are they?" ask Mastiara.

"Look at Ma...."

Rita recounts the incident 2 days ago about Sofia who was openly trying to tease Mandala. Although it was not responded by Mandala but still a concern for Rita herself and Erika's granddaughter.

Mastiara who was listening to Rita's story also shuddered in horror. It was not out of thought that there were still women who were so insignificant and flirting with men openly in front of the Mandala family. Like there's no shame and no self-esteem just think Mastiara.

"Astaghfirullah's...Yes, there is, Mom. A woman like that. I heard it also felt ashamed, Mom."

"Yes, Miss Mastiara. Therefore I want to hear Mother Mastiara's opinion how if the two of them we just betrothed first. At least there is a bond. For places and others we make it simple just invite the closest relatives."

"How yes, Mom. I can't make a decision, it's all on Ismalia. I just agree if the best thing for Is."

"Yes, I understand. Before discussing this matter to Is it would be nice, I talked this to Mother Mastiara as her parents."

"Then we wait for Is to come home from the stall." said Mastiara while taking water and snacks in the kitchen to be served.

Before long Mastiara also came with a tray filled with water and snacks and was served on the table while waiting for the arrival of Ismalia home. They also talked about preparing the engagement of Ismalia and Mandala until it ended in jokes.

20 Minutes later Ismalia came back and said hello. He saw a parked car that was not far from the alley to his house. Ismalia already knew that it was Erika who had come to her house. But it turns out when entering the house of Grandma Rita who came.

Ismalia immediately shakes the hands of Rita and the driver and sits next to the mother Mastiara. Mastiara took the pouch that Ismalia had brought into the kitchen and returned to Ismalia.

"Grandmother came here alone. Where's Erika, Grandma?" ismalia said as her eyes searched for Erika.

"Grandmother's not here with Erika. Grandma also did not say goodbye to Erika because Erika was still missing. Hehe..."

"The habit is the child. Oh, Grandma has been here a long time?"

"Then, until you have finished one cup of tea made by your mother. Hehe..." Said Rita while laughing as well as the others.

"Look, Is. Rita's grandmother here has something she wants to talk to you about."

"Yes, Is. Grandma's here asking for your opinion on how the engagement between you and Mandala accelerated."

"I mean, Grandma? Why is it accelerated, Is it not yet the Graduation Exam?"

"Because...." Rita also tells the story told to Mastiara now to Ismalia again.

"How, Is. Do you agree?"

Ismalia seemed to think for a moment and turned to her mother who was also looking at her.

"You can rest easy, this engagement event is only attended by relatives and family nearby. After you graduate then hold a wedding." explained Rita assured Ismalia.

"Bismillah. Yes, Grandma. Is agreed."

All in the guest room simultaneously said Hamdalah. Just stay to tell Mardian's father about the engagement between Ismalia and Mandala which will be held in two days at night.

So long after their conversation, Rita and the driver say goodbye. Rita took something out of her bag given to Ismalia to buy necessities like her other family. As for the clothes Ismalia and the others Rita will provide.

After saying goodbye Rita traced the road to her parked car. On the way Rita smiled so happily. Even the driver smiled behind the rearview mirror. Terlena with her smile, Rita took the phone in her bag to contact Mandala. Rita sent a short message to get home faster.

...🌹🌹🌹...

Mandala, who was also on her way to Cafe Fortune, glanced at her phone, which read a message from her mother. Mandala typed back the message and then looked back out the windshield. Ridwan turned to Mandala for a while and then returned to the Tablet screen in his hand.

10 Minutes later, Mandala's car is parked in front of Cafe Fortune. Mandala and Ridwan get out of the car directly into the cafe. They headed to the VIP room that Rico had already booked. Rico and Sofia are waiting for their arrival. Sofia's smile on her lips saw a very handsome Mandala today.

Ridwan turned to Mandala who was so uncomfortable with Sofia's presence. Rico shook hands and sat down in front of him. The food and drink menu is on the table. They all enjoyed first such a delicious dish. Enjoy Sofia's occasional eye meal seeing a bowed Mandala.

Ridwan who realized it immediately cleared his throat and pretended to praise the order food from Rico that was so delicious to him.

"Ekhem....This food is delicious, Mr. Rico. You're so good at choosing food."

"Ah...You could have. This is an important meeting for us to celebrate the success of our project so we have to prepare delicious food that should be." said Rico accompanied by rasak.

"Mr Rico is right. We enjoyed it very much."

"Then please enjoy. If less, let me order again."

"Eh. no need. This is enough."

"Oh yes, congratulations on our project" Rico said to Mandala who had finished eating.

"Safe to you, too. Hopefully in the future it will grow even more."

"Yes, hopefully. The project will grow rapidly if we continue to cooperate like this. And hopefully we can build new projects in other areas."

In the midst of their conversation about the project. Mandala took a minute to the toilet. Sofia who saw Mandala move to the toilet, she also followed the farewell to the boss. At the door, Sofia sees Mandala washing her hands in the toilet sink. Without any hesitation and embarrassment Sofia immediately hugged Mandala from behind.

Mandala felt hugged from behind was immediately shocked to open the winding of Sofia's hand on Mandala's waist and push him to fall to the floor.

"Ouch..."

"What the hell, don't be rude to you" said Mandala in a high tone and angrily stared at Sofia.

"Master Mandala how the hell, I just hug nothing to say." said Sofia relaxed without guilt.

"Before there is slander, you should go out" said firmly Mandala still unnoticed Sofia.

"Mr Mandala, I miss the weight of Mr. Do you not miss me and what my lack is. I'm beautiful and sexy, all men want me."

Sofia approached Mandala holding and rubbing Mandala's chest.

"Come on, Mr. Mandala. Don't sell expensive, this is in front of your eyes" said Sofia teasing Mandala with her hands slowly unbuttoning her own shirt.

Mandala without looking at her face and feeling the attitude of Sofia who was more insolent finally pushed back Sofia to fall.

"Don't be rude. If you feel your pride is so cheap, you better not sell it to me. It's best to sell your self-esteem to striped nose men who are looking for seductive and cheap women like you. Before my patience runs out you better get out. EXIT ..." shouted firmly Mandala the look of an angry face raised her voice again.

Sofia who saw Mandala's face stared intently and shouted at him. Finally, I decided to get out of the toilet. Sofia at the door immediately tidied up her slightly messy appearance. Sofia immediately sat back in her chair, looking back. Mandala also walked out while tidying up her suit.

Arriving at their dining table, Mandala suddenly parted to Rico who was then followed by Ridwan. Rico was astonished Mandala was in a hurry to go home. Ridwan looked at Mandala's back feeling that something strange was happening to her boss. Ridwan wanted to ask was reluctant so next time he thought. Before returning home, Mandala drove Ridwan to his residence and then headed to his house to rest.

...🌹🌹🌹...

The time has shown at 17:50, upon arrival at home Mandala opened the door without saying hello directly walking up the stairs to his room. Rika and Erika who were relaxing watching television were astonished by the strange attitude of Mandala. Mandala went into the room and opened her suit, leaving her shirt and pants to go straight to the bathroom flushing herself in the shower.

Still with the look of his angry face he punched the bathroom wall until his hands turn blue and blood came out. When the body feels cold, Mandala stops her bath using a bathrobe. Rubbing her wet hair sat for a moment at the bedside. Checking his phone which turned out to be lowbat battery. He plugged his phone charger that was connected to the outlet.

Walking towards the wardrobe took out a casual suit and combed her hair and smeared the wounds on her hands with ointment. It felt like he was done, he immediately went downstairs to dinner. Erika and Rita are already at the dining table with Bik Inah serving food on the plate. Mandala shifted her seat to stand up. Bik Inah also serves food on Mandala plates.

Rita noticed Mandala's very different face like an angry person. Mandalas will reach forks and spoons. Rita saw Mandala's right hand swollen in blue.

"Mandala, your hand is hurt why? Did you beat up someone?" ask Rita.

"It's okay, Mom. It was just a small accident, accidentally falling earlier." Mandala replied lying.

"Really, but it's not like falling. I think he hit?" said Rita again.

"This is okay. It's been, Mom. It'll also be better soon."

"Oh yeah, why did you tell me to come home early. What's up?" ask Mandala to divert the conversation.

"It... I want to give you good news."

"What is that, Grandma?" ask Erika to stop eating.

"You remember not talking about you talking last night about it?" ask Rita to Erika

Erika nodded

"Last noon at about 10 pm Grandma went to Ismalia's house. Delivering the plan at once asked for their opinion on Grandma's plan."

"Keep Grandma's plan what?" erika asked while Mandala just listened while bribing rice without looking at Rita talk.

"Granny's plan is to speed up the engagement between Ismalia and your father Mandala."

"Wahh.really, Grandma. Thank God." said Erika happy.

"Yes, really, baby."

The mandala who was eating stopped her eating and stared fixedly at the mother's face.

"But why so fast? Isn't it after Ismalia's Graduation Exam?"

"Yes right. But that was for his wedding. As for the engagement event will be held in 2 days."

"But why?" ask Mandala again.

"Because I don't want a third person or a seductive woman who will try to tempt you and enter our family. That's I don't want to, as Erika said that there's a woman named Sofia who openly teases you in front of Erika." explained Rita.

"What I do is only for your good so that you avoid such a woman. As long as you are single, then such a woman will still aggressively approach you. And you will fall into bad things." explained Rita again.

Mandala seemed to think about Rita's words. Just now Rita was talking about it already happened at the cafe this afternoon. Unashamedly Sofia hugged him in a quiet room in the toilet.

"How do you agree?" tanya Rita shocked the dreamy Mandala.

"Sorry, Mom. I don't agree with Mom's opinion of the engagement."

"What does Mandala mean? Think about it for your own good, son."

"I've been thinking about it now, Mom. If I don't agree with Mom's opinion."

Erika and Rita look sad with answers from Mandala about Rita's decision.

"If you want to know my current decision is ..." pauses.

"I want the plan changed tell Ismalia's parents to apply for Ismalia as soon as possible."
