Delanie (Not a Wives Bet)

Bad day

I squeezed my hand when I saw two people who were so meaningful in my life, it felt like my chest wanted to soar between pleasure or anxiety

Ben waved his hand at me while the 4 seats to the right looked to Dady who was also watching me..

" What will happen after this?? can Dady accept Ben as my lover??

I took a breath and prayed that everything would be fine. Dady did keep his promise to come to the second stage show, as he said he wanted to make amends.

The stage started and I tried my hardest to concentrate on every move I made, I didn't want to make a mistake for the effort we put in.

Holding Mr. Jose Hilter as a musician, this stage is really alive, the best musician in the city is able to sedate the audience with the strings he plays.

The performer was successful with a boisterous applause from the audience after me and Benardo Pit completed the dance perfectly.

Bernardo and I bowed to each other and thanked each other for the performance we did.

The show finished perfectly and as I thought, Dady and Ben came straight to me and gave me a flower.

If Ben's doing it I'm not surprised but if it's Dady I'm a little scared because it's not his habit.

Never mind to perform for my birthday alone Dady never did anything romantic.

" Dady has changed??"

Dady was astonished when he saw Ben who was beside him, he narrowed his eyes while looking at Ben from top to bottom.

Ben was no wonder he smiled because I told him first.

" Hey.uncle I'm Ben" said Ben kindly enough, he reached out to shake hands with Dady.

" Ben?? " Dady's forehead is wrinkled

Turns out Dady still remembers the name I mentioned when we talked on the phone.

" Yes Dad, this is Ben he is...... My beloved" I said

Dady was surprised but he still shook Ben's hand even though it was just a formality.I can see Dady's dislike gaze on Ben and I know Dady can sometimes be arrogant

'' Dady is being nice, Ben is a good person" I said, whispering

" You never said that Ben was your girlfriend" Dady said quite exasperatedly

Ben boldly invites Dady to one of the best restaurants in town, he tries to be as friendly as possible to get sympathy from Dady.

Finally the three of us sat at one table facing each other, while Dady still looked at Ben with a cynical look.

" When have you been close to my daughter??" ask Dady

" Since Delanie's here uncle, it's been about 8 months" Ben said

" You work or go to college or unemployed??'

" What do your parents do??" ask Dady again

"Mama and papa work in one of Uncle's country houses, my papa is British and my mama is Manado"

Ben tells of his family and origins including his having a sister who was studying in Jakarta.

Ben never told me such a detail that I even thought he was an only child.

" Do your parents have any business or business or anything" Dady asked again,

" No Uncle" said Ben

I saw Dady take a deep breath, I didn't know how Dady thought of Ben

" Are you sure you can make my daughter happy, she's a descendant of the Okta company. whereas you come from a regular family and only majored in science. It's the opposite of our family"

" Dady stop" I said angrily, I didn't expect Dady to look down on Ben in front of me

" Danie Dady just spoke the facts, Dady wanted us to be able to marry a shrewd person in the business field. It's for the survival of Okta's company because Dady knows you won't be reliable"

" But Dady I love Ben, again coming home we've got a much more interesting life than Dady's business"

" Don't patronize me Delanie we could be here because of Dady's efforts, you know how much Dady spends on your expenses in a month??"

" But Dady,..."

" Delanie don't fight the uncle anymore, because what she said was true" Ben said

" But Ben.." I said as I looked at Ben, I could see Ben's eyes that seemed to be really hit

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The supposed event of the Dinner Warm turns to doom, Ben opts to return to London that night.

" I hate Dady" I said when we were home, I even threw my backpack away.

" Delanie she won't make you happy.Trust me..."

" What kind of person can make me happy?? like Dady?? I can't possibly be happy with a person who always glances at a woman who's the same age as her daughter" I said angrily

" Quite Delanie you really don't have the genteel" Dady said

" I'm sick of Dady, I'm happy but Dady ruined all my dreams. I want to be happy Dady and Ben is my happiness"

Dady opted out of my nagging, he let me sit down in a tearful position.

"I hate it....I hate you, Dady..."
