A aura of happiness emanated from the Alvaro mansion. Today, Jasmine and Evan held an engagement event. They deliberately postponed the marriage because Mr. Kareem had to do treatment in America for 2 months. Mr. Zayn and Mrs Aline agreed. They also want to prepare for the wedding of their beloved daughter well and not rush.
A beautiful ring with a tiny diamond stone embedded in Jasmine's ring finger. Jasmine reviewed the smile on her lips as she looked at the beautiful ring.
"Do you like it?" ask Evan.
Jasmine nodded with a smile.
"I'm sorry if the diamond is small. Not that I can't afford a bigger one, but because I like it and I think it looks pretty on your finger. For the wedding ring, I'll give you a more beautiful one later" said Evan.
"It's a very beautiful ring Evan. I really like it. Although the diamond is not very big, but I know the price is quite fantastic. Isn't it?" jasmine said as she pulled one end of her lips.
Evan laughed a little.
Alvaro's extended family, Sahir and Hadinata have been present to witness their engagement. Hans, Helena's sister is also willing to come all the way from the American continent. They are currently chatting with each other and enjoying the various dishes served to them.
"Ups, I'm sorry I didn't accidentally" Hans said as he accidentally bumped into Andara, Jasmine's and Alex's cousins while picking up a snack.
Ara snorted in annoyance as her food fell to the ground.
"Can't you use both eyes well? Basic bule sucks," Ara grumbled as she looked at Hans annoyed.
"I didn't mean it and I'm sorry, Ara. Why are you so angry?" said Hans.
Ara did not answer, then took her snack again from the table.
"That's Hans. Just ignore. He was like that. He is very sensitive to mixed-blood men like us" said Darren, who came to Hans with his twin Darrel and Adnan.
Ara was still silent with her cold face while continuing to fill her plate with food.
"What's wrong with our mixed blood?" hans asked not to understand.
Darren and Darrel just shrugged their shoulders.
"It's also wrong of the two of you who like to tease and mock her, so Ara is annoyed at both of you" Adnan said as he chewed his meal.
"We were just kidding. It's just the ara that's too sensitive" Darrel said.
Ara gave her sharp gaze towards Darrel.
"Don't get angry easily, Ra. You will soon be old. Don't hate bule too much, who knows your soul mate will be a bule," taunted Darrel.
"No, no, no! I will only marry a beautiful and kind-hearted native like my Papa" replied Ara.
"Hello, No. No human being is exactly the same in this world. If you wait for a man like Uncle Bayu you can be single until your hair is full of gray hair" said Darren.
"Bodo. I'd better go to Jasmine's. If you stay here for too long, your blood pressure can go up" Ara said, then sauntered away to where Jasmine was.
"Did he have any trauma or bad stories with a Caucasian man?" hans asked curiously.
"Ara has never dated, but some of her friends have dated Caucasian men and ended badly. So that makes Ara try to stay away from the Caucasian men. Even when Alexa wanted to enroll him in college abroad, Ara rejected him outright. And he chose to continue his education in Indonesia" Adnan replied.
Hans simply nodded his head while chewing his food while listening to Adnan's explanation.
"And I'll be the first to laugh at him, if he's a match with a bule man" Darrel said.
Darren, Hans and Adnan laughed at Darrel's current expression. But Darren and Darrel's laughter stopped when they saw a Turkish girl in a blue sea dress picking up a glass of water. Their sapphire net did not blink when they saw the beautiful girl who was none other than Selma, Evan's cousin sister, walking gracefully in front of them.
"Basic twins! Shut the fuck up before any flies come in!" hans Hardik.
Darren and Darrel gasped, instantly covering the gaping mouths of the two with their hands. Selma who realized that she was the center of attention of the twin men was immediately embarrassed and misbehaved.
"Should you be attracted to the same woman?" adnan asked while chuckling.
Darren and Darrel looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.
"No need. It's just a coincidence that the girl was able to attract both of us" Darren said with a smile.
"The girl was Evan's cousin. If it's not wrong, it's Selma. So who will come forward to get it and who will give up. There's no way you're going to fight Selma like two kids fighting over candy" Hans said.
"Are we going to compete this time?" goda Darrell.
"Can be. Because he meets my criteria," Darren replied with an adoring look.
"It looks like Opa Alex's curse is turning around. This time it was Alvaro's descendants who were infatuated with Sahir's descendants," Ceplos Hans.
Adnan could not help his laughter. He could not imagine how the competition between the double D to fight over the granddaughter of Mr. Kareem.
At one of the tables, Mr. Alex and Mr. Kareem were playing chess. Mr. Kareem is very happy because he can beat Mr. Alex. Not because Mr. Alex gave up, but because Mr. Alex was not good enough at chess. Chess is a game that he does not like.
"Are you happy now?" ask Mr. Alex to be upset.
"of course. I can finally defeat you, Alex," replied Mr. Kareem arrogantly.
Mr. Robby smiled as he shook his head looking at the behavior of the two batteries. Since then Mr. Alex has been watching over Mr. Kareem's beautiful grandson. Triplets A came and each sat on the lap of Mr. Alex, Mr. Robby and Mr. Kareem. The three of them were enjoying the ice cream in their hands.
"Kareem, it looks like your granddaughter fits in with my granddaughter" said Mr. Alex.
"It's enough that Evan is related to your granddaughter, not to Selma. She's my only granddaughter. I'm very selective Alex" replied Mr. Kareem.
"Do you underestimate the men of Alvaro? All my grandchildren are superior seeds and very high quality," said Mr. Alex did not accept.
"You just choose which one. There are twins Darren and Darrel who inherit Alvaro's true good looks. If you want a man with Indonesian local good looks, we have Adnan, son of Adrian. Yudi, Bima and Arjun, sons of my adopted son Rino. And another handsome mixed man, Hans son of Narendra. You just have to choose."
Mr. Kareem just cut his lips. "My granddaughter is young, she's still in college Alex."
Mr. Alex laughed at Mr. Kareem's expression and continued teasing him, making Mr. Kareem furious and upset.
"Here you go, baby, calm yourself. Forget Evan and the Sahir family. You're beautiful, Mommy's sure there are plenty of handsome, rich men out there that you can easily get. The most important thing now is that our company does not go bankrupt" said Mrs Dilara trying to calm her daughter.
"I'm angry Mom. I don't accept if I have to lose to that woman. I don't accept it" Meira said, stomping her feet.
"That's it. What if we go on a trip abroad? And you can shop as much as possible so that you feel better," said Mrs Dilara.
"Mommy seriously?" ask Meira who started to melt.
"Of course, honey," replied Mrs Dilara.
Meira's sad face immediately mumringah.
"I want to go to Milan" said Meira.
"As you wish, today we leave, too" said Mrs Dilara.
Meira was very happy and immediately rushed into her mother's arms.
...***...
The next day, Mr. Kareem flew to America with Mrs Gulya. While Selma still lives in Indonesia with Evan's family, because she is currently on college vacation. Evan gets a wedding invitation from one of his clients in Batam. Evan would not want to have to go there, because he will not only meet the wedding invitation but also an important meeting with some clients of The Sahir Cooperation in Batam.
Jasmine travels to the airport to escape Evan with her assistant Sandy. Since then Jasmine had only been silent because her feelings were not calm. Jasmine seemed unwilling if Evan went to Batam.
"Why have you been silent since? Are you sick?" evan asked as he rubbed Jasmine's head gently.
They are currently in the waiting room. Evan and Sandy will fly to Batam on a commercial plane, as Evan's clients have already prepared tickets for both of them.
"Should you go? Can't Sandy just go to represent you?" ask Jasmine.
Evan pulled Jasmine's nose and smiled.
"Did you miss me so much? It turns out that your love for me is huge" Evan teased.
Jasmine immediately pursed her lips.
"Don't manyun like that, later I can khilaf."
Jasmine turned her face away from being annoyed. Slowly Evan pulled his chin to have Jasmine face him.
"I'm sorry. I went to Batam not only to attend the wedding invitation but also there was an important meeting that I had to attend. I was there for only two days. After my business is done, I'll be right back and preparing for our wedding" Evan said.
With a heavy heart, Jasmine also let Evan go. As Evan's plane leaves the airport, Jasmine becomes increasingly unsettled. He seems to have a bad feeling. Ever since arriving at the mansion, Jasmine had continued to stare at her phone, waiting for news from Evan with her upset face.
"It's been hours. Evan should have arrived in Batam since. But why hasn't Evan contacted me?" mumbling Jasmine.
Jasmine's phone rang. Quickly Jasmine instantly raised a video call from Evan.
"Assalamualaikum, my sunshine," said Evan from across the phone.
"Waalalaikumsalam," replied Jasmine Ketus.
"I'm sorry, when the airport arrived my phone ran out of battery and can only contact you now. Right now Sandy and I are getting ready to go to the wedding" Evan said with a smile.
Jasmine let out a long breath.
"Thank God you got there safely. My heart is calm now. You better leave now, and don't go back to the hotel too late" Jasmine said.
"Ready my sunshine. We leave first. Love you" said Evan.
"Love you, too," Jasmine replied.
Jasmine placed her phone on the nightstand, then laid down her body.
"Maybe I'm a little overboard," Jasmine muttered and closed her eyes.
Late at midnight, Jasmine awoke with a gasping breath and a racing heart.
"Evan," jasmine shrieked as she touched her chest.
Jasmine immediately got out of bed and went towards her parents room. Jasmine asks her father for permission to follow Evan to Batam. Mr. Zayn wanted to give permission but on the condition that Jasmine had to take Yudhishthira, Rino's first son with her. Jasmine and Yudi immediately fly to Batam using Alvaro's private jet.
