Tonight, the Ravindra family welcomes Frans, Rossana, Laura and the Emperor.
"Welcome to our house." Sapa Kenedy friendly.
"Thank you."
All eyes were on the Queen who was dressing up so beautifully tonight, the Emperor was blown away by the beauty of the woman.
"Well .. haven't seen each other in a long time. Queen is getting pretty and mature." Praise Rossana who is none other than the Emperor's mother.
"Thank you, Auntie." Queen blushed in shame.
The two families who have been friends for a long time also praise each other and make small talk. While the Emperor was just silent and continued to look at the Queen with an unreadable gaze.
"Then let's have dinner. My wife cooked a lot today." Take Kenedy.
"We're a hassle?" Said Frans.
"Not at all." Reply Sandra.
They all sat in their seats and began to enjoy dinner while chatting.
"So Queen graduated college?" Ask Frans.
"Here, Om." Queen's answer is brief. He was a little awkward as the Emperor kept looking at him.
"There must be a lot of men who approach you, you're so beautiful like your Mama." Puji Rossana's.
"Ah .. You could have, Ros." Sela Sandra is shy.
"Have you ever dated?" This time Laura asked. This old lady is the Oma of the Emperor.
Queen suddenly fell silent to the question, she was confused what to answer. But he finally decided to lie.
"Be ... never been, Oma." Queen answered nervously.
Hearing the Queen's reply, the Emperor reacted. The handsome man smiled mockingly. And Queen realized that.
"That's great. Unlike Kai, she once cried when she was cut off by her lover and she said she was dating. But in fact, a week later he's got a new girlfriend." Laura expressed her granddaughter's disgrace.
"Oma! Don't bring up that incident again! It's been a long time since." Emperor Protests.
"Yes, he was still Junior High. Still ABG labile." Oma continued and was greeted with laughter by everyone, except the Emperor and Queen who were silent with their own thoughts.
"Already Mom, don't make your grandson's cheeks red like tomatoes." Frans followed the Emperor.
"I did forbid Queen to date, because I don't think that's good. And thank goodness he complied." Kenedy was proud.
Hearing the words of the Papa, the Queen felt even more unwell. And the Emperor again smiled mockingly as if he knew it was all a lie.
"That's great. Queen's a submissive girl." Sela Rossana's.
"Then, when do we have their engagement?" The question suddenly came out of Frans' mouth.
Queen who heard him almost choked.
"Hmmm ... How about next month?" Laura gave her advice.
"What ...?" Pekik Queen was shocked.
"Darling, what's wrong?" Sandra asked. Everyone was shocked to hear Queen screech.
"Hmmm .. what is speed?" Queen protest nervous.
"Looks not. Faster is better." Sahut Frans's.
"Yes, you're right. We'll have their engagement next month." Kenedy confirmed his friend's words.
While the Emperor did not respond at all, he continued to look at the Queen with an indecipherable look.

After dinner, the Emperor invited the Queen to chat together in the back garden. This was their umpteenth meeting, but Queen was not interested in the man at all.
The Queen and the Emperor sat side by side and looked straight ahead, for a moment in silence without any talk.
"Why don't you refuse this match?" Suddenly the Emperor's heavy voice broke the silence.
"Help ...?" The Queen who was shocked by the Emperor's question turned to the man. "Why are you asking like that?" Ask Queen.
"Because I know you don't want this match, just like me." Answer Emperor.
"You yourself, why not refuse if you don't want to?" Queen asked back.
"Jawab first my question, then I'll answer your question."
"Because I can't resist, my father forced me to accept this matchmaking if I still wanted to be considered a child." Answer Queen.
"Yes!" Sela Emperor.
"So you were threatened like that too?"
"Yes. I initially accepted this match because I had to. But after I thought about it, this matchmaking is not bad. And I'm starting to get interested in you." Emperor's heart, making the Queen dumbfounded.
"Relope ..."
"Why? Didn't you break up with your goddamn lover? So there's no barrier between us anymore, right?"
The Queen was really surprised to hear the Emperor's question, The Queen was confused from where did she know all that?
"How did you know?" The Queen looked at the Emperor with a probing gaze.
"Who do you think gave the information about the hotel your lover rented?"
"You ...?" The Queen's eyes glared with her mouth agape.
"Absolutely. I sent people to find out about you and about your lover. And it turns out he's a dick!" The Emperor replied casually.
Queen's heart beats suddenly. The Emperor found out about her, does this man also know what happened between him and the Prince?
"Why are you doing this?" Queen nervous.
"For you to know the behavior of the person you love. As your future husband, I feel sorry that you were betrayed. Do you want me to make him leave the Kingdom?" The emperor raised his eyebrows.
The Queen felt a little relieved, because from her words, it seemed like the Emperor did not know what had happened that night.
"no need. I can do it myself, so don't interfere!" Jerk Queen to divert her nervousness.
"Hahaha .. I'm getting interested in you." The Emperor pinched the Queen's nose.
"Iiiihhh .. Don't touch me!" The Queen glared at the Emperor again.
"Later after marriage, I will also be free to touch your whole body. So what's wrong with me just pinching your nose?" The Emperor seduces the Queen.
The Queen recalled the Prince and the incident that night, she was eager to say all that to the Emperor, so that the man refused this match, but his tongue felt twisted.
"What's wrong? Why is your face so tense?" The Emperor looked at the Queen's face.
"Hmmm .. It's okay. I'm going in first." The Queen moved and immediately stepped inside the house leaving the Emperor still staring at her.
