Dilemmas In Marriage

Chapters. 36 Meet old friends

One month later, Lusi has settled in his beloved country. He helps Aji take care of the branch restaurant, although the man refuses but Susi still helps him. In fact, their parents also supported the girl's good intentions.

Lusi thinks about the relationship and Ronald, they're close enough and connected. However, Lusi is still reluctant to have a serious relationship. He asked Ronald to give him time. Of course the man did not mind as he was also interested in Luciana. In between daydreams, Aris looked at the aunt who was just silent while looking straight ahead.

"Aante!'' Aris patted the shoulder of Lusi until the woman jumped.

"Aris, you're just surprised." Lusi held onto her chest while smiling faintly.

"Auntie why? How bengong?" Aris sat next to Lusi.

"No, why do you want to know so much? You're still a kid, it's not time to know about the adult thing." she smiled sweetly.

"Oh yeah, you came home to pick up the driver? Sorry, but darling. Aunty can't pick you up," Lusi put on a face.

"No pa-pa, auntie. Aris knows that Aunt is busy at the restaurant. Must be a rame visitor, aunty?"

Lusi nodded. "Try Aris see for yourself, a lot of people, right? That means papa restaurant going forward and Aris should always pray for papa jaya effort. It's all for Aris' future, too,"

"But, Aris if it is big does not want to be a restaurant owner, aunt." declined Aris thought if Lusi asked him to be the successor of the father.

"really? Then, what are the ideals of Aris?"

"Aris wants to be a businessman, have a lot of cars, a big building, and also be respected."

Lusi just nodded, it was the ideals of a boy that maybe later he himself would forget.

"Well, what do you want to eat now?"

"Anything, Aunt."

Lusi asks that Aris wait for him and he goes to the kitchen to pick up food.

Elsewhere, it's been a few months since the relationship between Evi and Alex has been very close. The man is not what he used to be: a bitch and a fool. Somehow Alex is now a person who is considerate, smiling and soft-spoken. Yeah, maybe the guy's mood is improving.

At exactly eight in the evening, Alex takes Evi to dinner outside. Of course Meera allows it because she also wants her son to be close to Evi. Maybe they're a match, that's what Meera thought.

The two have arrived at a five-star luxury restaurant, Alex opens the door for Evi and is greeted warmly by the woman. After getting out of the car, Evi smiled sweetly and thanked him.

Alex immediately thrust his arm, he asked that Evi hold the arm. They then walk together into the luxury restaurant, anyone who sees Alex and Evi must think if they are a very compatible couple.

"Well, the place is beautiful, brother." said Evi admiring.

Evi nodded while continuing to pay attention to the decoration of the place. A few minutes later, they ordered food and decided to chat while waiting for the order to arrive.

As Alex gets out of the chair and intends to go to the toilet, he suddenly nudges someone's arm.

"I'm sorry" said a man who made Alex scrunch his forehead.

Alex looked at the man in front of him, he smiled widely with his mouth slightly open.

"Ronald?"

That man is Ronald Reagan.

"lex? You Alex? God, we haven't seen each other in a long time. How are you doing?" Ronald paused his words and glanced at Evi. ''Hey, is she your boyfriend? Or even your wife?" ronald asked enthusiastically, they have been friends for fifteen years and separated since five years ago because the Ronald family moved to old country.

"Just pray that she can quickly become my wife." Alex joked with a slow chuckle, she spoke whispering not to be heard by Evi.

"Sorry, Lex. I'm with my friend and can't stay here for long."

"No problem, maybe next time we can meet again. Or what if I ask for your phone number? Ck, you're so arrogant, you never told me." Alex pretended to be upset.

Ronald laughed, and he didn't have Alex's phone number. They exchanged numbers, and then Ronald resigned. He had been at the restaurant for a long time and had to go home soon because there was still an important job.

Alex wants to leave, but is prevented by Evi.

"Sister, who was that?"

"Oh, he's my friend. Friends at school, we haven't seen each other in a long time."

Evi just nodded.

"God, I forgot to introduce you. I'm sorry," Alex patted her on the forehead.

"No problem, Brother. Next time,"

"That's right, I'm planning a meet up with him later."

After he finished talking, Alex went to the toilet. He could no longer hold back his wish that was about to come out.
