"Nhh ...." Nisa slowly opened her eyes. When he looked around, he realized that he had woken up. Then he sighed and looked at the ceiling of the room.
"I'm late for college again, mending skip school."
This is all because of that pervert Keyran! Last night I told you repeatedly that I was tired, but he asked for more rounds. I just found out that the stamina of a newly healed person can be that strong.
"Later in the afternoon I also still have to attend pastry classes, hopefully I am not far behind with the others. I want to pass the practice exam later, after this get a certificate and I can confidently open my own bakery!"
"Oh yeah, I had to tell Keyran not to get confused looking for me."
Nisa immediately got up and picked up her phone that was on the nightstand. He started typing the message he was pointing at Keyran.
°°°
^^^Key, later in the afternoon I have a pastry course. Don't be surprised if you come home later I'm not home. [Nisa] ^^
Well darling. So you're awake, your dream is beautiful? [Keyran]
^^^Why do you reply so quickly? Are you not having a job? [Nisa] ^^
I'm in a meeting. [Keyran]
^^^^What kind of CEO are you playing on your phone during a meeting?! Never mind, I'll stop texting you! [Nisa] ^^
Haha, now the meeting is on a whirl. After I unpacked the evidence, the board of directors started blaming each other. And another reason of course is because I can't ignore my wife who needs attention~ [Keyran]
Later after your class is finished, I will pick you up❤ [Keyran]
°°°
"Basic ..." muttered Nisa while smiling as she looked at the screen of her phone.
"Better now I take a shower, my whole body feels sticky." Nisa then put down her phone.

In the afternoon as Keyran had planned, he himself picked Nisa home from the pastry course just in time. As usual today Nisa also brought home the results of her practice.
"Did I make you wait a long time?" ask Nisa.
"Not really, I just got to 5 minutes ago," Keyran replied as he fitted a seatbelt for Nisa.
"Haha, great. Oh yeah, today I brought home the beef wellington. Chef said that if my first experiment was good, the beef in it was also perfectly cooked. We can eat this for dinner tonight!"
"Ah, about that .. actually tonight I want to invite you to dinner outside" said Keyran while holding his nape.
"Hm? Dinner out?"
"Yes, I've booked a VIP room for us. The place is a Chinese restaurant, you like Chinese cuisine, right?"
"S-like! I like any food!"
"Haha, I forgot that you're a diner." Keyran chuckles. He then started the car and drove at a normal speed.
While on the other side Nisa was just silent, she looked towards the closed car glass while putting on her stupid smile.
Hehehe, finally what I want will be realized soon! Me and Keyran are going on a date for the first time! Ahh .. I can already imagine what will happen later. It's just the two of you, spending time together, bribes, it's all very romantic. Damn, I'm so impatient!
After the two of them got home, Nisa immediately handed the beef wellington to Aunt Rinn. He also told her not to bother cooking dinner.
Nisa immediately rushed to the room to clean up, after which she also spent a very long time dressing up to look perfect on a date. Even Keyran who prepared himself later was finished first compared to Nisa.
Keyran stood and crossed next to Nisa. "Hahh ... when will you be finished?" the already tired waiting.
"In a minute, 5 minutes!"
"1 hour ago you said that too!"
"Patience darling, I look beautiful to you too."
"Come on Nisa .. You're beautiful! Your cheeks are blushing, your eyebrows are fine, and your eyelashes on both sides are the same!" keyran who began to lose patience.
"Huh? You count the number of my eyelashes?"
"That's not the point! The point is, I mean, you don't have to dress up much longer. You're perfect, let's go now! If I let you dress up any longer, I'm afraid the restaurant will be closed!"
"Aihh .. I know that I am beautiful, but the word perfect seems a bit exaggerated even if only to praise." Nisa blushed instead.
He then got up and turned around in front of Keyran. "Am I beautiful when viewed from all sides?
"Yes, not just from all sides. Even if you look from the straw hole you also look beautiful! Are you satisfied now, darling?" asked Keyran with a forced smile.
"Haha, okay! Let's go!" Nisa then held Keyran's hand with a smile. Her heart is currently blooming, the first date with her long-time husband will finally be done.
She even dresses up by adjusting the theme. She wears a modern cheongsam style dress that is below knee length. Even her beautiful hair that she usually let unravel, now she styled it like a Chinese bun. Nisa really hopes that this first date will go perfectly.
***
About half an hour later, Keyran and Nisa arrived at Shangri-La Restaurant. The restaurant's decoration was impressive, the entrance using wood and glass with geometric patterns and Chinese calligraphy on top. Beautiful floor with ethnic flower motifs and pictures that adorn the side of the wall.
The distinctive features of this restaurant play a lot with wood material and brown color. Some of the interior elements here present a variety of wood elements that are applied such as the use of wood materials on the floor, walls to furniture such as tables and chairs.
Decorations presented at the restaurant is the presence of Chinese space accessories. For example paintings, jars, and displays of Chinese calligraphy. In addition, as the illumination of red lantern lights that have their own artistic value is also presented.
Upon arrival in the room that Keyran had ordered, Nisa's expression changed completely when compared to at home earlier. Currently he was holding the chopsticks with trembling hands, and glared towards Keyran who was actually engrossed in enjoying food.
Bangs*t! Why is it like this?!
Nisa was anxious to shout and curse, but she was powerless because she was blocked by the situation. He was extremely unwilling because right now in front of him was someone who was none other than his father-in-law.
Why is this guy here? It just bothered me on my date, and Keyran didn't say his dad would come along either. Damn, this ruined all my expectations.
"What's up Nisa? Why not eat? Does the food not suit your taste?" ask Keyran.
"Ahaha, everything is appropriate." Nisa then glanced at her father-in-law. "I want to go to the toilet for a minute."
"Well," said Mr. Muchtar and Keyran.
Nisa then left the VIP room and headed to the toilet. Inside it happened to be Nisa alone, she did nothing but wash her hands in the sink and reflect.
"Huh, stupid Keyran! With ease he said ... I forgot to tell you this Nisa, actually the one who invited me to dinner together was my father. So don't be confused why he's here" he said, mimicking Keyran's style of speech.
"Akhc! He could say so without guilt! You stupid husband! Why doesn't he understand that I've been wanting to date him for a long time?!"
"Bad! I even spent 4 hours just dressing up, but my date failed!"
Nisa caught her breath, once again she stared fixedly at the mirror. "Huft ... It's okay, it's like this if you have a husband who is crazy to work" he said with a forced smile.
Shit, I'm still not willing.
Nisa returned to the room in a sluggish state. He sat down and ate the attractive-looking Chinese food slowly. Her appetite has now gone, lost with her unfulfilled date wishes.
"Oh yes, Nisa. Do you know why I'm taking you to dinner?" ask Mr. Muchtar.
"Eh? So this dinner has a purpose? I thought it was just a regular dinner." Nisa is a little confused.
"Keyran, so you haven't explained it to your wife!"
"Huh, after all Nisa is here now. So you can tell yourself what you mean" Keyran replied.
"What does my father-in-law want to talk to me about?" ask Nisa.
"Actually .. I invited you to dinner because I wanted to express my gratitude. Your contribution in the company wasn't messing around, nor did I expect you to be able to do as well as that. You're even able to unpack the dirty stuff that the board of directors does."
"Ah, about the board of directors is a bit difficult for me. I was seen as a boy who knew nothing about the company, some were humbling me on the grounds that I was his wife Keyran. Thought I was just good at housekeeping, yelling at me to get me in the kitchen. There are also those who humiliate me on the grounds that I have not graduated from college. All sorts of excuses I've heard from the mouths of those who don't like me. But that's not a problem, just words like that won't make me give up."
"Yes, I also know how they think. They are all stubborn people because they feel they have a high position. Fortunately, those who no longer deserve the position have been expelled from the company, it was decided at a re-board meeting chaired by Keyran today. It's also not free from your previous efforts, I'm really grateful for everything you've done."
"That's nothing, so enough father-in-law to thank you. I did it solely because Keyran was sick. So in order for him to recover quickly then I took over his duties. If Keyran had done it, I'm sure he would have done better than I did!" nisa said with a smile as she looked towards Keyran.
Keyran smiled faintly, he grasped the hand of Nisa who was on the dining table. "You deserve a compliment. You have replaced my duties well in the company, and on the other hand you also take care of me who is sick. But ... Looks like you still don't understand my father's intentions."
"Hm?"
"Haha, it's true. My father hinted you've contributed a lot, so for your hard work .. You can ask him for a gift."
"Eh?!" Nisa turned to look at her father-in-law. "Is what Keyran said true?"
"He's right, you can ask for anything" said Mr. Muchtar in confidence.
"Can I ask for anything?" nisa asked as if she could not believe it.
"Yes, even if you want company shares, I'll give you a few percent."
"God!" nisa said unconsciously.
"What-what?!" Mister Muchtar and Keyran looked at Nisa with a look of disbelief.
As for Nisa, she who had realized if her speech was wrong immediately expressed panic. "I mean get out of it is .. Father-in-law must get rid of such people from the company to the end. You see, I don't want Keyran wasting his energy dealing with people like that" he said with an awkward smile.
Damn, I'm slipping. All I want is for my father-in-law to leave here so Keyran and I can go on a date.
Keyran smiled and rubbed Nisa's head gently. "Haha, ask for something else. You made a wish for me, make a wish for yourself."
"But I already have you. Having you means I have everything."
"You are this ..." Keyran's face flushed.
"Haha, this son-in-law turned out to be innocent. If you are confused about what to ask, you can think carefully. Let's just say I owe you one," Mr. Muchtar chuckled.
"Ehmm .. alright," Nisa replied while nodding.
"Oh yes Nisa, I have one thing that needs your approval!"
"Wait a minute, Dad! Dad didn't tell me about this before! What would you ask my wife for?!" ask Keyran.
"Relax Key, listen to your father's explanation first" said Nisa while holding Keyran's hand.
"So, soon the annual event of the anniversary of the company will be held. And I want this year's event to be taken care of by you, Nisa. Are you ready?" ask with a hopeful look.
"Don't burden Nisa, Dad! That's the job Valen and the butler usually do, this year let them do it again!" bent Keyran.
"The problem is that the concept they choose every year remains the same. It went well, but I was bored. If I'm just bored, especially with the guests?"
"Ehmm ... Why did my father-in-law point to me? Am I qualified to take care of something as important as that?" ask Nisa.
"Yes, I believe you!" the answer is full of confidence.
Nisa lowered her head and smiled faintly. "I'm impressed that my father-in-law believes in me so much. It's not that I don't want to, but if I take care of it it means that I will have a busy life in the main residence. While there was Natasha, the father-in-law knew for himself how he was going against me ..."
"You don't think about that. Natasha has changed, she can already accept Samuel's departure. He became diligent going to church, I'm sure if his heart has softened. So how'd you decide?"
"...." - ".Nisa was silent, then looked at Keyran as if asking for her opinion.
"Don't look at me. No one is forcing you, you are free to decide for yourself. Whatever you choose I will support you."
Nisa smiled when she heard the answer from her husband. He took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I agree!"
"Hahaha, great! You're my son-in-law who always surprises others, I'm waiting for what surprise you make later!"
"Anu .. about what my father-in-law offered me earlier, I already know what I want!"
"really? Let's just say it!"
"I heard this restaurant provides the best Chinese wine. I want that!"
"Hey, seriously what are you asking for?" asked Keyran as if he could not believe it.
"Yes!"
"Servant! Bring all kinds of wine here!" shouted Mr. Muchtar.
Not long after the servants came, they provided various kinds of wine. Some are intoxicating and some are not, some are made of fruit and some are made of herbs like ginseng. The servants also poured wine into the cup for the three people.
"Gan bei!" nisa shouted while lifting the cup.
"Did you challenge this old man's ability?"
"Yes, if the father-in-law is willing!"
"Hey, what the hell are you two doing!" shouted Keyran.
"Are you scared?" asked Nisa and Mr. Muchtar at the same time.
"Huh, I'm not scared at all!"
Because of maintaining his pride, eventually Keyran joined the game of his wife and father. The date that Nisa originally wanted was not accomplished, and now she is entertained because everyone joins the game of drinking wine.
