Chapter 8 "The Engagement"

Today is Abraham's company's birthday. And all of Abraham's business associates will come to attend the event. Both from within and abroad. Abdullah and his family are ready and the event will begin soon.

All of Abraham's family were there. So too with Rani. Rani smiles happily because of this day where Abraham's company celebrates his birthday. At once it would be his engagement to Abdullah.

Abdullah does not know he will be engaged to Rani. He only knew it was a corporate event. And the only ones who knew it were both Rani's parents and Abdullah's parents.

Silpi initially wanted to tell Abdullah. But Susan forbade him on the grounds of surprise for Abdullah. He also said that Rani was not aware of the engagement plans. Though it was a sneaky part of his idea and also Rani.

Susan purposely said that to Silpi. Because he knew the soul of the engagement was talked to Abdullah he was sure Abdullah would disagree. Because Susan already knew that Abdullah didn't love Rani.

And he deliberately instigated Silpi. Holds Rani and Abdullah's engagement event right on Abdullah's company's birthday. Because at that time Abdullah would not dare to refuse. Because many of Abraham's family business associates there were added again with Abraham's large family who had a very high prestige.

Rani has been wearing a very beautiful and expensive dress. So even with the makeup he wears is near perfect. Because he wanted to prepare to become the fiancee of Abdullah Abraham's family. He had imagined if it happened then he would be disinclined by many people.

"Rani you are so beautiful" Silvi said.

"Thank you" said Rani.

Rani's face was so sparkling because it received praise from Silpi. He was also sure that one day Abdullah would turn to him and say love to him. Rani is very confident after her engagement with Abdullah surely Abdllah can start to help her for herself.

After congratulations to srlesai company. Next is a cake cutting event to celebrate the anniversary of the company. All employees were invited to the event. And quite a lot of old guests. After the company's anniversary event is completed, it will now begin the engagement of Abdullah and Rani.

"Mohom is all his attention" said Abdullah and Silpi who were beside him.

All pairs of eyes saw the origin of the sound. And they were confused as to what Abraham and Silpi would arrive at. They all continued to pay attention to Abdullah and wanted to listen to what Abraham was going to say.

"In today besides the company's birthday. We will also hold a meeting of our only son Abdullah Abrahan and Fatimah Maharani. The son of one of my co-workers" Abraham said happily.

Deeg!.

Abdullah who heard that all went into shock. Because he doesn't know this at all. And the engagement with Rani was never imagined. Even Abdullah was very dislikeful of Rani. And now suddenly there's an engagement.

"Here come my son" said Silpi.

"Rani too" said Silpi again calling Rani.

Abdullah was silent. He looked at the faces of the guests present. He was confused about the engagement or not. Different from Rani. Rani was already walking and standing beside Silpi. Silpi realized and was confused as to why Abdullah had not yet approached her.

"Come on" said Silpi pulling Abdullah.

"Mom a minute" Abdullah said.

"Mother why is there an engagement with Rani?" ask Abdullah.

"Loh why? don't you think we love each other?" ask Silpi.

"No ma'am" replied Abdullah.

"No?" silpi asked because he was confused and did not understand.

Abdullah started telling Silpi everything. Of all the letters and misunderstandings and also the girl he loved. Silpi shok and he was confused as to how after hearing the explanation from his son.

"Mom I don't want to be with Rani" Abdullah said.

"Can't" Abraham replied firmly.

"Why can't he?" ask Abdullah.

"If you don't become engaged to Ranu. Want to put where Dad's face and it was already announced" said Abdullah.

"But I don't want to. Being engaged to someone I don't love" Abdullah said.

"Well, if you don't want no trouble. But you have to have this engagement first and after this event we're done talking about it in family" Abraham said.

"But Well" Abdullah hesitated.

"Let's be safe, Father's face and honor Rani's parents" said Abraham.

"It's okay."

After they agreed on what they had been talking about, the three returned to where the event had begun. Now Rani and Abdullah are standing in front of the guests and the two began to put up engagement rings after which all the guests and family clapped while saying congratulations.

After the ring is finished. Abdullah resigned and left the place. He went and boarded his car and started driving the ring he was wearing he threw on the bridge he passed.

But not with Rani. Rani is still at the party. He felt happy and happy because his engagement to Abdullah was right and it was thanks to the help of his mother Susan. And so is Susan. He is very happy because people now know that he has become part of the family of famous people in this country.

But Silpi was restless because she was confused as to how to explain everything to Susan about the engagement which was just a formality to save both their families from the skewed talk of people outside later. Silpi just silently responded to the words of happiness from Susan's mouth he just mengendiakan only because there are still a lot of guests.

Abdullah also felt a bit of tension but after the party was over he would invite Rani's father to talk about what really happened. There was a little doubt in Abraham's heart. But somehow everything has to be straightened out. He was also afraid that the good relationship between him and Idris would stretch after this.

Now the event is finished guests start one by one leave the building. So did Abraham's family. They all started to go home now Abraham and Silpi invited Rani's parents to his house first because Abraham wanted to explain all of them so that his problems did not become panyang.
