Happy reading 💕
While enjoying the freshness of the jasmine tea presented by Sindi, Maria seemed to have heard the story told by Nayla and without even interrupting.
Sometimes he nodded slowly and sighed deeply as Nayla poured out her grievances.
Mary understood what Nayla was feeling, because she had suffered the same fate as her beloved granddaughter.
When she was a teenager, she was betrothed by her father to a man she did not love at all. The man was named Raymon, the sole heir of Diamond Corp.
Mary was forced and threatened by her own father, so that she resigned and reluctantly accepted the match. Exactly the business matchmaking between the owner of Diamond Corp and Mahesa Corp, in order to develop the business wings of the two companies.
It is not happiness that Mary gets after marrying the father's chosen man, but sadness and heartlessness.
Maria did not expect, the man who had married her turned out to have five wives siri and only she was legally married, either religiously or nationally.
For years Mary was friends with grief. For years he held back the heart that Raymon had scratched.
Mary tried to defend the household ark she had built with Raymon for the sake of devotion to her father and for the future of her only son-the successor to the throne of Diamond Corp, Rizal Nata Negara, none other than Papa Nayla.
After her husband died, Maria decided to stay in Village W. She handed over the mansion and the company and all the property inherited by her late husband to Rizal-the only son of her.
"Nay, Grandma should talk to your dad and your mom. Grandma really does not want if your father repeats the mistakes that were made by your late great-grandfather. You have the right to choose your own future husband, especially if your prospective husband is like Nak Zidan, a young man who is not only handsome, but also understands religious law. Grandma was very sure, grandmother's favorite granddaughter did not choose the wrong husband. God willing, Nak Zidan can guide you into being a godly woman. He will also pour out your love based on sincerity, so that your household is sadinah, mawadah, warahmah" Maria said, responding to Nayla's complaints.
"Thank you, Grandma. Long ago, only Grandma could understand Nayla. Only Grandma really loves Nayla. I love you Grandma ...."
Nayla sprinkled a deep kiss on Mary's cheek, then dropped her body into the arms of the older woman she loved dearly.
"Love you too Grandma's favorite granddaughter." Maria hugged Nayla's body tightly and showered Nayla's head with a kiss.
"Honey, grandma is going to meet your dad and mom right now" whispered Maria as she stretched out her arms.
"Yes, Grandma. But --" Nayla hung her words, so that made Mary filled with curiosity.
"But what, honey?" maria asked with a frown clearly imprinted on her forehead.
"But, there's Jordan in the living room, Grandma. Wouldn't it be nice if Grandma waited for the chicken mafia to leave?"
"Alright, Honey. Then, we'll treat our special guests first. Coincidentally, the grandmother cooked lethek noodles, a typical Bantul food that grandmother often enjoyed during her stay in Village W."
"Mie lethek's? What's that noodle, Grandma?"
"How's it going, Grandma?"
"Uniknya, the way of production of lethek noodles still uses cow power, Nay. Tomorrow if we go to Jogja, grandma will invite you to visit the village of Srandakan Bantul to see the production process of lethek noodles. Grandma will also take you to Village W and introduce you to Grandma-Uti Kirana's best friend, Comel's Wife Akung Abimana."
"Yes, Grandma."
"God willing, dear," Mary replied as she slowly rattled Nayla. Then he asked Sindi to immediately take lethek noodles processed by her hand to entertain the guests.
Sindi hurried to fulfill Maria's request. He took the lethek noodles that Mary had stored on the dining table, took them to the garden and served them in the gazebo-place of Nayla, Maria, Zidan, Safa, Sadam, and Kyai Hidayat sat down while talking.
Nayla looks ravenous eating lethek noodles. So did Zidan, Safa, Sadam, and Kyai Hidayat.
Although the color is dull, but the taste of lethek noodles processed by Maria's hands successfully makes everyone who eats it addictive.
Right after Nayla and the others laid down the lethek noodles, Sinta walked towards them in a hurry.
He approached Nayla and told her that Jordan was gone.
"Alright, I'll meet papa and mama now," Nayla said as she moved from a sitting position.
"Nay, sit back! Let grandma meet your dad and mama. Like I said, I need to talk to them. Grandma will tell your father to back off his intentions. Grandma really disagrees with the business matchmaking your dad and Jordan's parents planned." Maria interrupted and brought her body up from a sitting position.
"The company of Nak Zidan, Mr. Sadam, Ms. Safa, and Kyai Hidayat. Treat our guests well and don't leave them for a second" he added.
"Good, Grandma. Nayla hopes that Grandma will return soon with good news for Nayla and Mas Zidan."
"Grandmother also hopes so, Nay." Maria opened the net and put a soft pat on Nayla's shoulder.
After bidding farewell with the guests, Maria took a step-leaving the garden accompanied by Sinta. He hopes, Rizal wants to hear the message he wants to say. He also hoped that his son would be willing to thwart the match between Nayla and Jordan.
