"Are you grandma this time?" ask a handsome man of such stature. The cold-sounding voice of the baritone restrained the anger of not liking the grandma's actual behavior very much in that unfortunately.
The other man, his assistant and accomplice were afraid to convey it. "Sorry, sir. The big lady made her birthday party and will announce your engagement, sir."
The master, Dominic Jovano Abraham. The 35-year-old man looked around staring at Evan. His anger was increasingly excited to hear there would be an engagement at the event.
It does. So far no woman has been able to get close to him. Although many women willingly drop self-esteem in order to be able to relate to him.
"Why is grandma so presumptuous?" He really did not like his life arranged by anyone but Mom Aisyah.
Evan did not answer any of these questions. Being Dominic's confidant both in the business world and the black world certainly knows the nature of the master.
"Maybe because you're 35 years old and have never been close to any woman except Miss Erlin, sir. Let alone rumors circulating if master has a scandal with me. Sorry, sire. I'm still normal," Evan often heard the rumors circulating. Not infrequently he received a strange look from the woman who passed him.
"Shut your mouth, Evan. You know why I didn't get married until now. Goddamnit!" Dominic's about to kick Evan's leg. But unfortunately, his assistant was able to dodge first.
"But, sir. It was 8 years ago when you picked up Miss Aisyah. It's possible that he's married or married" Evan spoke while laughing at what could happen after 8 years.
The breath feels heavy. Dominic chose to sit while massaging his temple.
"Why hasn't Dad's family changed either? Why aren't they like papi?" He took a long breath.
Since the death of the Jerolin papi made Dominic have to take care of the clan who had been raising the name Jerolin papi. His brother, Lucas. I have no desire to jump into the black world.
The responsibilities he has assumed since he was young make him reluctant to connect with any woman except a girl from his past.
Erlin was not the woman he liked. Forced to take care of the woman because asked by her late best friend named Rian because he was killed by an adult man. I don't know what really happened, which he must have imprisoned the perpetrator who killed Rian.
Starting in the afternoon, the ringing of his cell phone had disrupted his work. But still he did not want to see who contacted him. Dominic's contact is definitely Dad Malvyn's family.
Evan walks into Dominic's workspace looking hasty. Bowing in salute before delivering the news he received.
"Master. The show won't start until you get there."
Hearing that made Dominic cluck. "We're leaving now. Don't let anything unwanted happen."
"Did you not give a gift?" asked Evan a few moments after he had run his car. The man knew that Dominic preferred to go to the Jerolin papi mansion where Mom Aisyah lived with their younger sister, Aurora.
"It's up to you." Dominic answered and then got out of the car as soon as he arrived.
Dominic enters the mansion and Evan goes in search of a gift to take with him when night falls.
When he had just entered the mansion, Dominic was warmly welcomed by Aisyah's mommy. This is what always makes him feel at home and the affection of the mommy will not be replaced.
"Mom" he said softly. The firm, authoritative, eagle-eyed, and cruel figure towards the enemy instantly turned into a child-like figure before his mother.
Dominic threw his body weight next to mommy Aisyah then changed it to lay his head on top of mommy Aisyah's thigh.
"Grandma's doing it again, mom. He wants me to be engaged to Erlin soon. Why do they always want to rule my life, mom?"
The middle-aged woman who still looked young. Especially with what he wore seemed not a canned item aka luxury although still not eliminate the simple impression it seemed to sigh long.
"Speak to your Daddy, son. Perhaps they did so because they wanted the best for the successor to the Abraham family," Aisyah's mother also did not know what to do because she no longer wanted to interfere with her ex-husband's family.
For those who have not read the story of Dominic's parents, let's read the previous novel. 'Prison of Love Mr. Malvyn '
Dominic got up and nodded. "Mommy must come," he said but always rejected by mommy Aisyah.
"If mommy doesn't come, then I won't attend either" Dominic threatens a little and succeeds, his mommy will be with him tonight.
It is time for them to leave. Dominic has looked neat so has mommy Aisyah. Evan had been waiting for a while ago with the reward that grandma and Erlin would give as a formality only.
In a luxury hotel ballroom. Dominic walks in with mommy Aisyah embracing his hand. Many pairs of eyes even journalists also took part in capturing the moment of a step like this. Because, it is very rare for Aisyah's mommy to be exposed let alone attend Abraham's family event.
The show started. Grandma Ivy's birthday is very lively with the presence of rich businessmen, young business people who are already at the peak of glory.
Dominic can only take a long breath. Looking to the side looked at the mother who gave a small nod of support for her.
Finally he chose to stand up, walking majestically towards the small stage where Grandma Ivy was. There was no expression of his face other than a flat face.
"This is the successor of business and the descendant of Abraham. And tonight I'm going to announce our son-in-law's future." Grandma's gaze pointed forward, smiling then nodding.
After that, Erlin, a beautiful woman with a height to stand up and walk towards them on the stage.
Whispers began to sound to make Dominic's jaw hardened with a fist that was very tight. His face flushed as his neck veins popped up signifying how emotional he was this time.
"This is our granddaughter's future wife. Erlin Hillary, she's Dominic's late best friend's sister."
There was no reaction from Dominic, only those who looked happy. Three hours later, the show was over.
Mommy Aisyah had already returned to the mansion with Evan delivering. Dominic has to solve a problem he just started.
"Grandmas. I don't accept this matchmaking" Dominic said unequivocally as Grandma and Daddy Malvyn gathered in the living room.
Grandpa Edzard died two years ago of a heart attack.
"When are you single, Dom?" Not to answer but to say back.
"I don't like my personal life being organized by others."
"Grandma just doesn't want you to be like your Daddy."
"I'm not Daddy."
Not yet finished the debate between the two, Erlin came hugging the grandma sobbing.
"What's up, baby?" ask gentle Granda Ivy.
"Dom sent me a black rose, grandma. He wanted me dead so that the marriage was never between us."
Everyone looked surprised. So is Dominic because from the beginning did not know the gift that Evan was looking for was a black rose.
"Goodoo. I don't want to marry you, Erlin. Indeed I'm underwritten answer to take care of you but not marry you." Dominic turned around to leave but his steps stopped as the grandma's speech boomed in the living room.
"If you're not married to Erlin, then don't expect you to be able to see the grandma tomorrow."
Dominic stared at grandma Ivy and Daddy Malvyn alternately. "I don't care."
Dominic exits the mansion and contacts Evan to send the address of the black rose shop.
"Who is the owner of this flower shop?" his baritone voice made the two women of different appearances gasp.
One of the women who looked closed, just a pair of eyes widened and blinked as a result of the surprise of his voice actually looks funny in the eyes of Dominic.
"Follow me, you have to take responsibility."
After threatening then the woman with a closed appearance wanted to get into his car.
"Sorry, sir. Where are we going?"
"Civil records."
"Well?"
"Well."
Stop by the new novel I yuk. It's a descendant of American missiles ðŸ¤.
