"Please sit!" mr. Mahendra invited his ex-wife to sit down.
"Thank you" said Ms. Erina, throwing her body on the couch.
After Ms. Erina sat down, Mr. Mahendra followed Ms. Erina down.
"Where are you?" asked Bu Erina looking around.
"Arkan is inside," replied Mr. Mahendra briefly.
"Yes, I want to talk to you. Arkan doesn't need to know our conversation."
"Speak about what?"
"I actually have a plan. I want to match Arkan with Nilam, my friend's son."
Mr. Mahendra knitted his eyebrows.
"Stupid Arkan? does the Arkannya want to?"
"I told Arkan that time, but Arkan still refused. Because he said he wasn't ready to get married and wasn't ready to have a partner."
"Continue?"
"I mean my arrival here, I want you to join in persuading Arkan, so that he will be betrothed to Nilam."
Mr. Mahendra sighed deeply. All this time, Mr. Mahendra never had the mind to match Arkan. He is shocked when his ex-wife has the intention to match Arkan up.
"I don't disagree. But if that's the case, I'm not sure if Arkan wants to be betrothed. You know for yourself how your son Erika is. He's a very stubborn boy."
"But we talk to him. And we just close it with Nilam. I'm sure Mas, if you'd agree I betrothed Arkan to Nilam. Patch it, equal to us. His father was a businessman too. He fits and matches our son Arkan."
"If I do, it's up to Arkan. I don't want to force it. But if you ask me to persuade Arkan, then I will persuade him. But I'm not sure if Arkan agrees with your wishes."
"Yes Mas. We talk to Arkan slowly. Let him be with Nilam. At a minimum, be close to Nilam."
"Yes, I hope they fit in."
"Yes. After all, Nilamnya also has not graduated from college. But we'll try to get closer. Who knows, long ago they wanted and liked each other."
"Yes. I agree."
"The name is also the business of Mas. Than I can see, Arkan was never close to a girl. If a man like Arkan was supposed to be betrothed. He can't find his own girlfriend. Because he's a stiff guy, it's hard to get a girlfriend. If it goes on like that, he could be an old bachelor."
"Yes. I thought so too at that time. Arkan is his only son. If he gets married and has children, at a minimum, there will be one more heir in my family. And I really hope Arkan gets married and hasten to have children."
"And we can get a grandchild" said Bu Erika and Mr. Mahendra together. After that they smiled.
***
Arkan had finished his meal. After that he called Bu Hesti in the kitchen.
"Big. Please clean up the dining table."
"Your young master."
Arkan then left Bi Hesti to go upstairs. Arriving near the stairs, Arkan stops his steps when he faintly hears the voices of his mother and father chatting in the living room.
"It was like the voices of Mama and Papa in the living room. My mom was just in the living room and didn't come inside. Actually, what are they talking about?"
The curious Arkan hurriedly stepped up to look into the living room.
Erina smiled as she looked at Arkan.
"Arkan," said Ms. Erina.
Arkan was silent and looked at Bu Erika sharply. It seems that he did not like that much that Erika came to his house. Because Arkan knows, Miss Erika will always discuss matchmaking if she is near Arkan. And Arkan doesn't like that at all.
"Arkan, why are you standing. Come on sit down!" Pinta Bu Erina's.
Arkan approached Bu Erina and kissed the back of Ms Erina's hand. Then Arkan sat down beside his father.
"Actually your mother was Arkan. Just Papa talk to your mom for a minute."
"Why don't you call me inside."
"Say you eat again. Mama won't bother you to eat."
"It's okay. Eat with Papa."
"Papa is full. Papa ate outside."
"Your mother was full, she had eaten outside."
Arkan mangosteen understands.
Arkan, Ms. Erina, and Mr. Mahendra, then chat together in the living room. Until I don't feel like time has shown half ten.
Ms. Erina looked at her watch.
"Night of Kan. Mom went home first. Afraid of going out on the road" said Ms. Erina.
"You want to go straight home, Erina?" ask Mr. Mahendra.
"Yes, it's."
"Yes, be careful on the road."
Miss Erina nodded. After that he got up from his seat. He then walked away leaving the living room. Meanwhile Arkan and Mr. Mahendra can only take him to the front porch.
Ms. Erina then got into her car and drove away from Mr. Mahendra's house.
"Let's go in Arkan, it's late at night" said Mr. Mahendra as he patted Arkan on the shoulder.
Arkan just nodded. After that, they went back into his house.
They walked into the living room and when they arrived in the living room, Mr. Mahendra and Arkan sat down.
"Where did you come from? I wait for Papa in the dining room, it turns out Papa ate outside."
"Sorry Arkan. Papa had an important and sudden affair outside. And Mr. Tama from noon has not eaten. So Papa all invite Mr. Tama to dinner at the cafe."
"Oh so."
Arkan was silent for a moment. He then looked at his father.
"Actually Mama came here to do the Pa. He said he wanted to have an important talk with Papa. What did he say?" ask Arkan.
"Your mother, you were here talking about your matchmaking."
Arkan was shocked when he heard his father's words
"What! again arranged. I told you I don't want to be betrothed to anyone."
"But Papa thinks your mother's words have a point Arkan. You are now 24 years old. It's time you got close to a woman and it's time you chose a woman to be your life partner. And I agree, with your Mama's plan."
"What else is your mother planning? he's planning to mate me with a woman named Nilam, right?"
"Yes Arkan. You know about that."
"I told you Mama. If I wasn't I was in a match. It is not the time of Siti Nur Baya anymore. And I'm a man too. If I want to, I can find my own soul mate."
"Yes already, then, now prove equally papa if you can choose your own mate. You introduced your girlfriend to your mom and dad. Let Mama you don't find you a mate anymore."
"Pa, I'm young. I have no intention of getting married. I still want to enjoy my free time. I also just got into the business world. I want to get married after I've been successful.
Papa would have said that time, I have to show my mom that I can be a great businessman."
Mr. Mahendra smiled. He knew that his son Arkan had high morale. He never thought about the women in his life. Mr. Mahendra is sure, one day, Arkan will become a famous businessman more than himself.
