"I'm sorry, sir. Don't touch me!" sergeant Lila stared intently at Ronald.
Ronald raised both his hands high while chuckling. "Hahaha, it's fierce as well. Nice, I love a challenge" Ronald said enthusiastically. He is like a wolf who gets a challenging and tempting hunt.
Yes, Ronald is famous as a playboy who likes to play with many women in his country there. The blaster-faced young man often changes his girlfriend, after being satisfied and bored with sleeping with her.
Om Rusman native people are worried about the promiscuity of the son, until the desire to match his son with a polite indigenous woman. Rusman hopes that his son can change for the better.
Of the many daughters of Om Rusman's friend, his choice fell on Om Devan's daughter whom he thought would be able to conquer the son. The beautiful hijab girl Om Rusman saw through a photo sent by his other best friend, who helped Ronald's father to find a mate for Ronald.
"Okay, I'm sorry, miss." Ronald cupped both hands in front of his chest to apologize to Lila.
The young man remembered the message of the father, who warned him to be polite to Lila. It was to seek sympathy from Om Devan's daughter, in order to be betrothed to Ronald.
Lila took a long breath. "Please sit down," said Lila who again invited her guests to sit down, Lila then sat down on another long bench a bit away from Ronald.
Although at the beginning of the meeting Lila had no respect for Ronald at all, but for the sake of remembering the message of the papa earlier so that he was kind to the guests, inevitably Lila also suppresses his ego and tries to be kind to Ronald.
"What semester is it?" ronald asked pleasantries, but the young man already knew a lot about Lila from his father's friend.
"Final semester," replied Lila briefly.
"Would you like a graduation, dong?" ask Ronald back.
Lila nodded.
"Where are you planning to go to college?" ask Ronald. "At Ausie, huh?" the door was straightforward.
Lila shakes. "Here alone, all of Lila's dear friends and siblings are here," Lila replies affirming that she has someone dear. Although Lila was not sure who it was.
The chat controlled by Ronald, then went flat. Lila simply answered, every question from Ronald and no intention to ask back.
Throughout the conversation, Lila's memory was precisely focused on the figure of a friend who likes to be ignorant but also the most care for him. Who else if not Mirza?
'What are you doing, Za?' ask Lila in your heart. A sweet smile rose on Lila's lips and it made the hijab girl look even more beautiful in Ronald's eyes.
Especially now that Lila is sitting right under the garden lights that shine yellow, adding to the beauty of Lila's look which is actually already beautiful.
"You're so beautiful, Lila," praised Ronald sincerely, who broke Lila's daydream from her memory of Mirza.
"Eh, wh-what?" ask Lila stammered.
"You're daydreaming, huh?" ask Ronald. "Are you daydreaming about us, beautiful?" ronald asked confidently.
Lila smiled faintly as she shook her head. "No, Lila was reminded of someone who meant a lot in Lila's life" Lila replied, reaffirming that her heart had been filled with someone's name.
Ronald smiled smirk, 'the more challenging, I like his style, ' Ronald's inner self who felt increasingly wanting to conquer the hijab girl who seemed to build distance and a high fortress against him.
'Don't say my name is Ronald if I can't get a plain girl like you to her knees, Lila!' ronald was in my heart.
A moment of silence was created between the two of them.
The voice of the mother who called Lila to invite her guests to dinner, broke the silence.
"Sister Lila, get Bang Ronald to eat first, son."
"Come, Bang!" take Lila to her guests to go back inside.
Lila allowed Ronald to walk in front of her, it was deliberately Lila was negligent to avoid Ronald's gaze. The young man's gaze was so sharp and always looked at Lila like a Lion about to pounce on its prey.
The two old friends had a warm dinner. Om Devan seems to welcome the wishes of Om Rusman who said he wanted to match their sons.
Om Devan is very happy because he did not know the truth, he only heard a glimpse of the story from Om Rusman about the son who achieves and has now replaced Om Rusman in the company.
In addition, Om Devan also heard the story of an old friend, who reunited himself with Om Rusman after a long time. The man said that Om Rusman's only son was a good and responsible young man, just like his father.
Om Devan who knows very well the character of Om Rusman who is polite and intelligent, of course very happy if he can have a good son-in-law like his old friend.
"Sister Lila, papa and Om Rusman were talking about the two of you" Om Devan said on the sidelines.
Seemed aunty Lusi glanced sharply at the husband to interrupt that this is not the right time to discuss it, but it seems the husband is insensitive.
"We agreed to betroth you both," continued Om Devan who made Lila choke.
"Be careful, son." Aunt Lusi swiftly gave a glass of water to her daughter.
Damian and Lili who had gone inside with their respective partners also seemed surprised, they did not expect the father would make a decision unilaterally.
"Pa, this serious matter, why don't you talk to us first, Pa?" asked Damian who looked disappointed to hear the decision of the father.
"Bang, papa knows both Om Rusman. Papa is sure, Ronald is a good young man like his father used to be. Papa just wants to give his best for papa's daughter, Bang," said Om Devan as he looked at his eldest son for understanding.
"Yes, Pa. But this is not the way too! Let them get to know each other first and not just play games, Pa!" damian Protest.
"Lili also disagrees with papa" said the twin sister, who protested with her decision.
"Papa's decision is round, inviolable!" emphatically Om Devan while staring at his sons and daughters alternately.
Aunt Lusi could only sigh harshly, her husband was in stubborn fashion and it was hard to conquer. Except in one way and the beautiful mama will use it to threaten the husband if until his beloved daughter is hurt.
Rusman and his little family just kept quiet listening to the little debate of his old friend's family.
"Thank you, Om Dev, for trusting Ronald to be a companion to the beautiful daughter of Om," said Ronald who joined the voting.
"Ronald promised, will be a good husband for Dik Lila later," continued Ronald full of confidence, that Lila would definitely accept it.
"Yes, Damian boy, Lili Boy. Ronald will definitely treat Nak Lila very well" Om Rusman said, trying to convince the Lila brothers.
Damian and Lili smiled wryly, they both still did not like the way the father and his old friend did.
While Lila was still speechless, the girl wanted to see how far the papa would plunge her by setting Lila up with Ronald.
Lila was challenged to accept the match, just to open the heart of the father by proving that Ronald is not the right young man to be a son-in-law.
"How about, Lila? You agree, right? Isn't Ronald a good young man?" Devan looked at his daughter.
