The Promise of Love to My Cousin
Chapter 5.

Marco took Salsa to lunch at a Japanese food restaurant in one of Jakarta's luxury malls and bought some clothes and bags and shoes suitable for Salsa.

"Sister Marco, you don't have to buy me this much clothes, bags and shoes" said Salsa, uncomfortable with Marco sitting in the front seat of the steering wheel.

"It's okay, Salsa. I love dressing a girl as beautiful as you, " Marco said smiling kindly to Salsa.

"Hmm, yes well Brother Marco, thank you" said Salsa returned Marco's smile.

Upon their arrival at their Opa home in the Central Jakarta area, McCarco opened the car door for Salsa while helping the girl carry a grocery bag.

"Well, you two know each other and get along pretty quickly? " said Mr. Billy Salim who met them on the stairs leading to the main hall of the Salim mansion.

"Yes, Pa. We never expected that we would be this quickly acquainted and familiar" Marco said as he passed by his Papa.

"Yes, O'om Rudi. " replied Salsa politely.

"Good, Papa really likes the intimacy between the two of you to tighten up what should be between the two of you for the future of our family" said Mr. Bily with his smile to Marco and Salsa.

"Well, we're cousins who really have to know each other and are familiar" said Marco who had stepped into the main room.

"We are not just cousins but we are a couple fiancee since childhood by our parents" Salsa said in a soft tone as she walked behind Marco to the elevator.

"Alright, Sa. You can take your groceries to your own room because I have to meet Opa in his room" said Marco handing Salsa a bag of groceries in the elevator.

"Yes, Brother Marco." replied Salsa politely received a grocery bag from Marco who had turned right, which is the corridor leading to their Opa room.

In the room outside and neatly arranged.Pak Hendri Salim was waiting patiently Marco in his room while watching his favorite movie and eating a doughnut cake that was placed on a plate on the front desk the sofa he was sitting on.

"Marco, come here and sit here near Opa" said Mr. Hendri Salim without turning his attention to the TV in front of him.

Marco approached him by sitting near Mr. Hendri Salim and waiting for Opanya to speak to him while watching a film that did not interest him at all.

"It's true that I was told to come to this room just to accompany him to watch an old-fashioned movie that boring me..? " think Marco.

"Marco, what do you think of your cousin's Salsa? " ask Mr. Hendri Salim with a meaningful smile to Marco.

"Beautiful, kind and clever" replied Marco.

"Then do you have something that makes you feel comfortable and interested in him? " ask Mr. Hendri Salim again and this time like a curious old man.

"No, you two aren't cousins, Marco. He is from the Wijayanto family who is a distant relative of the Salim family that is our family. ", said Mr. Hendri Salim confirmed Marco's words.

"Yes, what does this have to do with me? " ask Marco who is interested in the conversation.

"The engagement since you two were very young has long been decided by both sides of our family, Marco. Therefore, neither you nor Salsa are forbidden to have another lover and you start from tomorrow must be diligent to work as an employee in the Opa company for your future and Salsa because Opa and his family have decided to you two got married after Salsa graduated from her school so you could have the company that Opa founded. " Answer replied to Hendri Salim who surprised Marco.

"Eh, is that right, Opa? Did I have to marry a child like her??? " ask Marco never believed that in the age of globalization there is still a match that is like the ancient times.

"True, it must be, and if you do not fulfill it then you will Opa doodle as the heir to the Opa company and your last name will be thrown out of the Salim family card. " replied Mr. Hendri Salim with a firm tone to Marco.

"God, Opa.I am a Marco Antonio Brown Salim got engaged and married to a little girl who has been my cousin all along...? What does the world say about me who is already famous as a man who has extensive adventures about women who, after all, have to do things that don't make sense to me??? " Go stared at his eyes in complete disbelief.

"Ah, is this world asking about your life? " ask Mr. Hendri Salim in a tone that hurts Marco.

"Not really, "

"Otherwise, why are you concerned about the world that never cared about you and asking how you lived in the honorable Salim family" said Mr. Hendri Salim, who shut Marco's mouth.

"Emm, is Opa really evil the same I am your own grandson? " says Marco Manyun.

"Evil what do you think of your plans for your own future? " ask Mr. Hendri Salim in a loud tone to Marco.

"Yes, using the requirement to become an heiress of the Opa company is that I have to get engaged to Salsa and marry the girl after the girl graduated her High School is that it? Ah, does Opa not feel pity or pity for her to marry a young playboy guy like me? " Electro became increasingly angry with the decision of his opinion.

"Blame it on you who always live indistinctly with you build a company that never develops and just waste your money and time too you have a messy lifestyle with you always dating a number of girls is not clear of their origins and behavior" said Mr. Hendri Salim who would not be denied again by Marco.

"Opa, give me some time to reconsider your plan with me promising to start all over again to build a lifestyle that suits your wishes and that of the honorable Salim family. " marco pinta.

"Well, as long as you can change your way of life by proving that you can become an independent and responsible adult man" said Mr. Hendri Salim agreed to a request from Marco.

"Thank you Opa, now I have to go to my room to rest as soon as possible" said Marco politely to leave the room Mr. Hendri Salim.

In another room, Salsa was doing schoolwork so focused that the girl did not see or hear the sound of her cellphone ringing lying on her bed behind her study chair.
