Khumaira stared at Elena's cynical. His son is married but the girl is still attached. If Elena was a good girl, she wouldn't do it.
"Not taking your wife to work, you even have breakfast at the restaurant with this woman. You can't get in touch with another girl after you have a wife. Do you intend to combine Flowers, do you?" khumaira asked as she glanced cynically at Elena. "And, you! You are a woman. You should avoid men who have married," he concluded.
"From the beginning of Artha my boyfriend, Auntie. It's only aunt who forced her to marry that woman" Elena's serobot who didn't take the blame.
"My favorite son-in-law has a name. In our belief, there is no such thing as dating. Anyway, like it or not, Artha is married now. Don't bother my son anymore" Khumaira said, pulling Artha's ear like a child.
Elena grieves in annoyance. The gazes of the people towards her changed, who originally felt pity now looked down on her. How can a girl approach a married man? Although they had a previous relationship, but the man was already married. That is, he can be branded as an actor if it continues to stick to him.
"What! Take care of your own business! Hmp!" Elena rebuked the customers who were whispering scornful of her.
He left without paying and the cashier immediately chased him to the parking lot. Artha did not have time to pay the bill because it was immediately taken away by Khumaira. Elena let out a grouchy scream and called out Artha's name.
"Artha! Bummer!"
The resto bill is not much, but Elena's shame for being the center of attention that makes her upset is not playing. They had not even finished speaking when Khumaira suddenly came. I don't know what made that middle-aged woman so hate Elena?
The girl was willing to follow the beliefs of the Artha family, but Khumaira still did not give her blessing. Moreover, her son, Artha, was forced to have a relationship with Elena. As a mother, Khumaira only wanted to see her son live happily.
In the car, Khumaira continued to lecture Artha. He did not give his son a chance to defend himself. In fact, just opening his mouth has been told to be silent.
"If you see her again, you will return the flowers to her parents!" Khumaira issued a threat.
"Don't, dong, Ma" Artha protested while pulling her car over in front of a coffee shop.
"Why? Don't you prefer your boyfriend? Mama doesn't want the heart of Flowers to hurt. So, it's better to return it to his parents" Khumaira said, holding an amused smile.
He knew his son loved Flowers. That's why, Khumaira threatened to return Flowers to Hartini. He hopes that the threat can make Artha aware and stop seeing other women behind Bunga.
"Artha accidentally met Elena. He's coming home, Ma. Artha was afraid that she might meet Bunga, so Artha took Elena out" Artha explained.
"Relatedly? Mama can't believe that you don't like her anymore" Khumaira sneered as she glanced at her son.
"Artha has no reason to hate Elena, Ma. But, Artha's feelings of love for her were no longer there. Artha needed time to give Elena some understanding. Please, trust Artha. This time alone," she asked, holding her palm.
"Mama believe. Please keep your promise that will make the flower happy. She's a good girl" Khumaira said with a sigh.
"Thank you for, Mama, believing in Artha. Artha promised to finish the business with Elena as soon as possible," he concluded and then kissed the back of his mother's hand.
The car drove back on the highway. Artha drove her mother to the boutique, and she went to the office. His head felt dizzy thinking of Elena who dared to come home.
"Excuse me, Mr. Manager. There are guests for you" said the assistant manager.
That tall, full-bodied girl only worked two months ago. However, he easily adapts well to his job. Artha felt very helped by a girl named Mariana Surendra.
"Please come in, Maria. Well, please make two cups of coffee, please" said Artha.
The girl opened the door wide. Alden walked in with Elena. Sontak Artha was stunned.
To be sure, they are not familiar with each other. Since when did the two become that close? What else is the big brother's plan this time to bring Elena?
"Good day, Ar. Is your brother's arrival bothering you?" ask Alden, mince words.
"What's this about? Why, Brother, come with Elena?" Artha asked with a full glance.
Justright. Although he already has Bunga as his wife, but he still loves Elena. It seems like it's the right choice to work with Elena.
"Well, we accidentally met on the street. Because I was planning to come see him, so I took him with me. Are you jealous?" Alden asked in a quip.
"Artha's busy. If there is interest, say it quickly," Artha said as she tidied the documents on the table.
There is no urgent work today. You could say, he was free. However, he refused to talk to Alden. Moreover, the man brought Elena whom he wanted to avoid.
"I want to take you to lunch. All at once, there is something important that I want to convey," Alden said with a mysterious smile.
Artha refused to breed, but curiosity led her to lunch. Alden deliberately invited to eat in the office cafeteria. The three of them became the center of attention.
The two prospective heirs of the company who have a handsome face are always the center of attention. Some female employees have even expressed feelings unintentionally. Hendry often took them to the office while they were still in school.
They eat in silence. Every now and then, Artha glanced at her watch. Intentions want to meet the wife, but obstacles are always there.
Alden noticed Artha's agitated behavior. He thought, it was because Artha was jealous to see Elena with him.
"Me and Elena are getting engaged" Alden said.
"What?" Artha was surprised not to play.
Hm! You're surprised, aren't you? All of a sudden I want to get engaged to your lover, you must be very surprised. It's even better if you let go of Bunga and marry Elena immediately.
Alden was so confident. He was proud in his heart. He thought, his plan of destroying Artha and Bunga's marriage had succeeded. Alden is convinced that Artha will choose Elena over Flowers.
"Haha …. Don't joke, brother. Mama wouldn't agree to it" Artha said as she got up from her seat.
"I don't care. I'll go through, why think about your mother's wishes. Agree or not, I will continue to carry out this engagement" Alden said, withdrawing Elena's hand.
They left Artha who was still gape in disbelief. This morning, Elena was still in her hands. However, by noon was already holding hands with Alden. In fact, they were getting engaged.
"It's ridiculous" murmured Artha with pursed teeth.
He knew clearly, Alden just wanted to make it look bad. Unexpectedly, Alden to the point of doing such a ludicrous thing. Being engaged without first asking their parents for permission, it was impossible to happen.
