Alena's eyes look swollen from crying all night. She saw her cellphone but Nizam still hasn't contacted her. Lazily she got up and walked to the bathroom. Shower with a weak body. In the morning usually, her stomach was hungry but this time she wasn't hungry at all. Her head was dizzy.
Alena remembered that when she was in America when she was sad, there was always Cynthia who accompanied her and even in the morning like this there was always breakfast brought in a folding tray to eat in bed. But in Indonesia, it is a little abstinence to eat in bed unless you are sick.
At exactly 10, Uncle Hartono will come with his wife and son to propose to Alena. And almost all night Alena thinking about what decisions she should make. Alena thought it was impossible for her to tell this to Nizam because even though Nizam was not yet her husband. After all, 500 billion rupiahs is not a little money.
It is impossible for Alena to ask Nizam for help.
Currently, Nizam is not her husband. How embarrassed Alena would be if Nizam thought she was a mercenary woman. She will be labeled as conspiring with her parents to try to blackmail Nizam. Using Nizam to pay their debts. So that in the end she will be labeled as a mercenary woman. Besides, he doesn't know how rich Nizam is. Not everyone has that kind of money
Her mother did not enter her room. Even though usually when she gets up a little late her mother has come into her room and tries to wake her up. Alena understands the gloomy atmosphere that is happening in this house. Alena chose an ivory dress to receive Uncle Hartono's entourage. Even though she hated this meeting, she still did not appear carelessly.
Inside the house, it turns out that it is busy preparing for the arrival of the great guest. The house from dawn has been cleaned and the dining table is neatly arranged. The main living room looks full of flowers. Alena saw her mother arranging the 3 servants outside the chef and driver. Seeing Alena down Her mother smiled but Alena saw very clearly that her mother's smile was a compulsion.
"Alena .. come here, even though we want to refuse this proposal but we cannot carelessly accept their arrival. Because Mr. Hartono is one of the biggest businessmen in Surabaya and an old friend of your father."
"Of course, Mom. You can rest easy. I'm sure there will be a way out."
"Hopefully God will help us"
"Amen," Alena muttered.
At 10 o'clock, Mr. Hartono arrived with the group. There are two luxury cars with nearly 10 passengers. In the car in front of Mr. Hartono and his family are with a private driver.
Alena saw a young man wearing a dark blue suit and Alena was very surprised to see that man
"Hello Alena ..." he said with a sweet smile. Alena very shock. How could Alena forget her friend's lover? Andre is Sisca's lover
"You, Andre !!" Alena was stunned to see that handsome but annoying creature in front of her. Alena's breath seemed to be choking
"That's right, Mr. Gatot... It turns out they already know each other." Mrs.Hartono burst out laughing. He seemed very happy with this surprise.
"Alena !! The last time I was here you were in grade 5 elementary school. Now that you are a woman, you are more and more beautiful... No wonder when Andre is shown your picture, he immediately wants to. And can't wait to apply." Pak Hartono continued to speak happily as he went inside. Alena's father just nodded with a smile, even though he was actually shocked because it turned out that Alena already knew Mr.Hartono's son.
"Yes Jeng Ratna, I know ... Our children are very harmonious. By the way Andre My youngest son likes a lot. Many want to be in law, but always refuse but it is strange when shown a photo of Alena. Your Daugther, he immediately wants to. But it is not surprising that Alena is very beautiful, just like Jeng Ratna when she was young, "said Mrs. Hartono as she kept glancing at Alena. As if she had never seen a beautiful woman.
"Apart from being pretty and smart, Alena is studying in America, said Mr. Gatot, next year will she finish?" Mrs. Hartono said again with smiles
"Yes, Jeng". Alena's mother said as she glanced at her son's face full of question marks.
Intimate and warm conversations are intertwined while eating and drinking. Only Father and Mother Alena did not look too excited, they were just small talk. Mrs. Hartono did not realize that his in-house candidate was having problems with this application. Mr.Hartono felt thatMr.Gatot and his wife would have accepted their proposal.
