JiHan (Promise and Betrayal)

First Visit2

“Goodnight Young Master, you look much thinner now.” The old servant warmly welcomed their arrival.

“Mam Bu Lisa, probably because I miss Bu Lisa's cooking.” His joke was on the old woman.

“You can always make this old lady happy Young Master.” Answer the old woman called Lisa.

“Ah Yes Alice introduce this Miss Lisa, she is a former butler here, she is also the one who became my nanny first when I was a child.” Said Anton and introduced him to Alice.

“It's nice to meet you Miss Lisa, I'm Alice.” Said Alice and extended her hand to the old woman.

“You are too sorry Miss Alice. I'm glad you can accompany Mr. Munda tonight, you are very beautiful and polite.” Said the old woman and shook Alice's hand.

“All families have gathered at Master's dining table, let's Non Alice.” Said the old woman and led them towards the dining room.

They walked through the mansion and entered a large and spacious dining room. In the middle of the room was a long and spacious dining table with several dining chairs, some seating was already in place by them. At the end of the table was an old man who seemed to be the father of Anton, to his left was an empty seat, while to his right was Alious and Amanda. Beside the empty seat was a young man and woman, it seemed to be Anton's second brother and his wife.

Alice and Anton stood not far from the entrance of the dining room.

“Come in, please join. No need to hesitate.” Said the old man sitting at the end of the table. He is a man in his 65s but his face and posture still looks bravery and good looks that are still left in him. Alice and Anton did not move, but an old woman in her 50s came in from a different direction.

The woman was wearing a red knee-length dress, the woman was very beautiful even though she was no longer young. But with her clothes and makeup the woman looked much younger. The woman came in from the kitchen with her own soup bowl, which was her youngest child's favorite, and went to the dining table to put it down. But not until he went to the table, the old woman saw the presence of her youngest son.

“Ahh you guys have come, mom made you your favorite soup Anton.” The woman looked at her youngest child.

And then the woman turned her gaze towards the girl standing beside her son. The old woman was shocked by the presence of the girl beside her son. He widened his eyes and without him noticing, he removed the pirex bowl containing the soup.

Prang.

“Mother... Are you okay?” Everyone who had been sitting in a chair got up and approached the mother. No exception Anton and Alice also quickly approached him.

“Darling you're okay?” Ask the husband to worry.

“I'm okay, maybe just exhausted. You go ahead, I'll go to the room first tidy up” said the old woman calmed down all members of her family. And immediately leave from there followed by a maid.

“I'll accompany mom and see if there's any splashes of hot sauce that hurt mom. Brother friend Alice.” Anton said to Amanda and left the room.

“Well we sit back.” Said the old man.

Everyone in the room went back to their seats. Alice is accompanied by Amanda to her chair. Next to Amanda.

“You must have been shocked by this incident. Maybe he was exhausted from just getting there this afternoon. He who insists on organizing everything and forgets to rest to welcome your arrival Nak.” Said the old man melting the atmosphere.

“I'm sorry to trouble everything.” Alice said badly.

“True, even we were worried whether this would suit your taste, but Anton said you ate everything. That brat's bottom is not helping at all.” Amanda said annoyed.

“Anton right.. I am not choosy against food.” Alice defended Anton.

“Gosh it turns out you're in the cubes.” Said the woman sitting across from Alice.

Hahahaha, and they all laughed with the words of the woman, Alice was only confused as to what they were laughing at.

“Already, you are confusing Alice.. Anton the youngest is always tempted by his two brothers, especially since his brothers have their own family, they always support if they have teased Anton. They are always at odds over trivial matters. Usually the one who always helps her talk in Anton's camp is Miss Lisa, now it seems there is already Alice who will help her.” Bram said with a smile.

“Alright let me introduce our extended family. I am Bram Hadi Jaya, I am the Father of Antony. He is my youngest purta. And the one sitting to the left of my hand is Alious Hadi Jaya my eldest son, and his wife sitting next to you is Amanda Loise, sitting to the right of my hand was Axel Hadi Jaya, my second son, and sitting next to him was his wife, Sicilian Pratiwi. My wife is Lidia Handoko, the mother of these knights.” He said while slightly laughing to melt the atmosphere.

“I Alice Anatasha.. Nice to meet you all.” Alice said clumsily.

On the other side of the room inside the mansion..

After he finished changing his clothes, a servant came out to get the medicine box.

“Mother I'll check your wound.” Anton entered his mother's room, with a servant who was about to enter the room carrying a p3k box in his hand.

Lidia Anton's mother was sitting on the sofa that was inside the room. Anton sat on the floor and looked at his mother's feet.

“You go out.” Lydia told the servant to leave them both.

“Anton, is that your lover?” Lidia asked as the maid had already walked out of her room.

“Iya Bu. Her name is Alice Anatasya.” Anton answered while giving topical medicine for burns on his mother's leg.

“Are you sure? Or can you think about it first? Don't you have a lot of female colleagues in the hospital. There's not one of them that catches your attention, son.” Ask Lydia worried.

“What does Mother mean? Previously on the phone mom had no problem with the status of Alice who was an orphanage child was not. Even her educational status did not concern her. Even the mother was willing to prepare a banquet for tonight even though she had just arrived from country X. What happened, Mom? What's up?” Anton asked suspiciously.

“Nothing Nak.I mean mom, maybe this is just a momentary sense of attraction. Not to be taken to a more serious relationship, is it Nak?” Ask Lydia nervously.

“I'm serious with Alice ma'am. Anton will marry Alice as soon as the girl approves.” Anton said firmly.

Seriate....
