"Yes my. We haven't seen you in a long time?" said a middle-aged woman who welcomed those who had just arrived.
"How are you?" ask the woman again while greeting Nita.
"I'm good, Ma. How are you?" ask Nita back.
"I'm good too. Uh, let's sit down!" Ema invited the candidate to sit down.
"Eh, is this Aliza?" asked Ema looked at Aliza with her binaries.
Nita nodded. "Yes." Yeah."
"The big time. Uda girl. Last time we met you were still in college" said Ema, holding Aliza's arm.
Don't ask how Aliza is reacting now? The word shock might be able to describe the girl's face right now.
Aliza nodded with a smile.
"Yes, Aunt."
"You are so beautiful." Ema praised so sincerely. It is undeniable that Aliza tonight is very beautiful like a royal princess.
Aliza smiled. "Thank you, Aunt."
"Eh, what aunt? Call mommy. You will also call Mother. Make the exercise not to be surprised later," said Ema invites Aliza to sit next to Nita.
Aliza painfully swallowed her saliva.
Whahuh? Mother? How can you call Mother? Meaning how?
She knew Ema from the moment she sat in High School.
Yes, Aliza also knows who the middle-aged woman's child is. Or maybe? Who will be betrothed to him that ….
"Where's Arsen?" ask Ema to Ravli, her husband who has just come with Reno, her husband's best friend.
Ravli Jaya and Ema Jaya are a couple who have become friends with Aliza's parents.
Arsenic? The name ... is no stranger to Aliza's ears. The name that always makes it pound when it meets, the name that always makes it flowery.
Even just hearing his name as it is now, the vibration is still. It's still the same as before.
What's the matter? Will destiny bring him together? Will destiny unite him in a lawful bond?
"New dateng. Just come here again" said Ravli then invite Reno to sit down.
Before long a man in a black suit attached to him walked towards a table that already had his parents and yes there were three people who switched their focus. Especially the maroon girl.
Aliza who was stared at so seriously directly lowered her head. There is shame and pleasure mixed into one.
"Finally the children of the Mother came," said Ema who made Aliza's chest pounding more and more.
"Here sit!" ema orders him to sit next to her across the street from Aliza.
Finally the girl in the maroon-colored dress looked up. Look at them meet. The face she had always missed was now right in front of her.
Such sharp eyes looking at Aliza made the girl smile for a while while nodding and turning her face away. I don't know, it felt like that look seemed to show her dislike.
Unlike the time he was still in High School or college first.
"Now we eat first we discuss this matchmaking," said Ravli looked at the two people who will be betrothed.
***
"Lo accept this match?" asked the man in black who was next to him.
Arsen Kusuma Jaya, a man with a height that is much different from Aliza.
The figure that made her fall in love.
He is the CEO and heir to his parents' company that has begun to age because of age.
From the moment he sat on the bench Aliza High School already liked Arsen. Until the girl went to college it was still the same.
Even while attending college Aliza asked for one campus with Arsen. Although different majors at least he can still look at his heart adoration every day even if only for a second.
However, after Arsen graduated from college Aliza had never again met the man. And now what? The universe seemed to meet suddenly.
"Gue can not refuse, sister" said Aliza turned to look at Arsen who was looking at him seriously.
"Why can't I refuse?" tanya Arsen held back her anger because she wanted this girl beside her to refuse. Same with himself. Arsen thought that if they both refused this match, this ridiculous matchup would be annulled.
Aliza looked at the starry sky with the moon so bright. Yeah, tonight they're gonna want to have a one-on-one conversation with the family after dinner.
They chose the balcony of the restaurant as a place to talk about this important matter.
Arsen's gaze was still focused on Aliza.
A sharp nose with thin lips and eyes that are so beautiful it makes Arsen lulled for a while.
"Beautiful," inner.
"Gue can't, Brother." Aliza was still looking at the sky not looking at Arsen.
"Lo can refuse. We must both refuse to let our parents cancel this crazy matchmaking," Arsen said with emphasis at the end of his sentence.
Aliza smiled bitterly at Arsen's words. How unwanted is he in this man's life?
Ah, yes Aliza forgot that Arsen is still in a relationship with her boyfriend named Risa Elmira.
They have been in a relationship since High School until now. Long enough, right?
"Gue can't, sister," Aliza broke up.
Honestly, he also could not refuse this match because of his parents.
However, on the other hand, she does not want to see her loved ones suffer from marriage to her, but on the other hand, Aliza cannot lie to herself if the halal bond with the loved ones becomes greatest hope.
"Gurghhh!" Arsen shuffled his hair in frustration.
Aliza closed her eyes when she heard Arsen scream.
In her heart she was eager to say "I love you."
Quite quiet according to Aliza is the best. He is not ready to accept what will happen after he is honest about his feelings.
Even before Aliza revealed it, the girl already knew what the answer was.
So, why reveal if he does not do that he already knows the answer.
"Gue won't accept this crazy matchmaking any way!" arsen's determination was already beginning to calm down.
Arsen walked a little away from Aliza.
The man struggled with his own mind how to get this matchmaking void.
After a few minutes Arsen approached Aliza again who was still in the same place.
"Aliza. You know I have a boyfriend. There is a heart that I have to take care of, I want to marry the person I love," Arsen told Aliza to have a more serious conversation.
Aliza was now looking at Arsen with a hard look to interpret.
"I know, brother."
I don't know, it hurt a lot when I heard Arsen's last sentence.
Indeed Aliza must be self-conscious if she is not a woman who is the ultimate goal of the man in his presence.
"Gue hope you will understand this and agree. I want to marry you a contract for a year. After that we will divorce and continue our lives," Arsen said looking at Aliza expectantly.
"Gue doesn't want to marry me just because I have to. I am also afraid that you will not be happy. Lo will be much sad. I can't guarantee you'll live happily with me." Arsen took Aliza very seriously.
Arsen was afraid that after marriage he could not make Aliza happy. Because as a husband he takes full responsibility for Aliza. He was afraid that if his relationship with Risa was still running would add to the complexity of his life.
"City …."
