Alan invited Irene's grandparents to eat together. The dishes in the house were issued all to entertain the guest spwsial. Unfortunately dinner this time is not complete residents of his house. There were only Alan and Ares who could accompany their guests.
"Why do big houses always end up deserted. Irene's house also ...."
"Grandfather, our house is small and narrow in the village. How could it compare to a rich man's house like this." Irene cut off the words of the grandfather. He came to the family claiming to be a country boy from a poor family. If Alan and Ares knew he was the son of a rich man, things would fall apart.
"We live in a very comfortable village. Although the house is small, but many neighbors." the grandmother tried to defend Irene.
"But I think our house remains deserted. That's why Grandpa wanted to pick Irene up to come home and stay with us" said the grandfather.
Irene was surprised by the intention of the grandfather's arrival. In his heart, he still wanted to stay there even longer. Indeed, at first he did not feel at home and wanted to go home quickly. After being there for so long, he didn't want to go home.
"Why rush to pick up Irene, Cake. Let him stay here to finish his studies" Ares said. Although often quarreled with Irene, but the presence of Irene in the house was very happy. Moreover, he was able to gather with his brothers because of Irene.
"Irene can go to school anywhere. If indeed he wants to go to school again, I can send him there," said the grandfather. "After all, Irene's goal here was to be betrothed to one of the young masters in the Narendra family. But, it seems like my ugly grandson no one wants to. So, he'd better go back to the village who knows if there's a soul mate there."
Alan and Ares looked at each other. They could not catch the words of their grandfather. They also felt insinuated because at the beginning of Irene's presence, no one liked the woman.
"Irene, you weren't made a maid, were you, during your time here?" ask the grandfather.
"Ih, Grandpa ... Of course not. They're all good. Especially Grandpa Narendra who already thinks of me like a granddaughter herself" Irene denied.
"Grandmother thought so too. You seem to be getting thinner and shabby. They're afraid they'll torture you while you're here" Grandma said.
"Haha ... That's too much, Grandma! Nothing bad happened to me. I've even been treated to good food by them" Irene said.
"From the fact that we're worried about you here, you better go back to the village" the grandfather asked.
The atmosphere is frozen. Alan looked completely unfeeling.
"Em, sorry. I want to go back to the room" said Alan as he put down his cutlery.
Irene looked at Alan's back leaving her. He became distressed towards Alan because his grandparents had various thoughts about his existence there.
"I'm going back to my room, too. Irene, take your grandparents to the guest room downstairs that's been prepared" Ares said.
"Yes." Yeah."
Ares also left the dining table like Irene.
Irene was silent and could not answer. "What if Grandpa and Grandma take a break in the room? We'll talk about this again tomorrow" he said.
"Grandfather will enter the room later. Want to breathe some fresh air outside for a while" said the grandfather.
Irene is now alone with her grandmother. Irene leaned her head spoiled on the grandmother's shoulder. Grandma stroked Irene's head, evoking memories of the past, a time when she grew up with the affection of her grandparents.
"Grandmother ...," call Irene.
"Hm?"
"I still want to stay here" he said.
"When we came to pick you up thinking you wouldn't be here. Then, why do you have to look like this? What happened to your face?" ask Grandma to worry.
"I'm just pretending to be ugly. I don't want Brother Hamish to know where I am."
"Why is the reason like that, Irene? We purposely sent you here to be able to mate with one of the Narendra families. They can protect you from Hamish. It is fitting that we have not heard of this matchmaking decision. You're so ugly like this, who would want to be betrothed to you?" protest of grandmother.
"Ah, Grandma ... Why rush to match me all? I'm so young" whined Irene.
"What's wrong with getting married young? You can do anything after marriage. Some will always protect you."
"If it's time for my soul mate to come too, Grandma!"
"If you don't want to be betrothed now, why don't you go home?"
Irene hugged her grandmother spoiled. "grandmother ... I seem to like someone" he said shyly.
Grandma smile. "What is one of them?"
"I don't want to say!" said Irene naughty.
"Even if you like him, will he like you too? With your looks this bad?" ledek the grandmother.
"Let me handle it myself, Grandma! Grandma was enough to help me convince Grandpa that I could stay here anyway" Irene asked.
"It's up to your grandfather, Jessy. But, maybe Grandma will try to talk to him."
