Meeting (II) and Engagement



Flora p.o.v


I blinked my eyes a few times. My eyeballs looked at the sky of the room.


I want to close my eyes again.


But suddenly I flinched and sat in the bed.


I looked at the clock above the nightstand.


"O my God at seven!" my peek.


I'm late to wake up, I'll definitely be lectured to Mamah.


We are accustomed to waking up at 5 am, said Mamah"The girl can not be lazy, the girl's child must wake up early."


That's what I always say when I wake up late.


Without a second thought I ran to the bathroom, washed my face and brushed my teeth.


I wiped my face with a white towel rolled neatly next to the sink.


I'm out of the room.


Wow, really comfortable this place.


 


I stood in front of the door, enjoying the beauty of this place.


"Are you awake?"


I flinched, my eyes widened.


That's mama's voice.


Mampus, I'll be taken for the next 5 hours.


I turned slowly to the source of Mamah's voice,


I laughed grimly.


"Sorry Mah, because the bed is so soft, sleep Arin so good."


I scratched my head that wasn't itchy.


I closed my eyes forcibly, preparing to hear the hot lava bursts.


I closed my eyes for a few seconds, but Mom didn't make a sound.


I opened my eyes, though,


Huh, am I dreaming?


Mom smile??


"Yes already. You know how, you must be tired, right?"


I opened my eyes, I stared at Mamah's face, Is this really my Mom?


"Ck, that. Come breakfast. I've been waiting for us."


Mom pulled my arm.


Walk towards the dining table.


There Dad was sitting sweet, waiting for us both.


I sat in front of Dad, and Mamah was next to Dad.


"Sleep you must be good?"


My eyes were on Dad, this guy with glasses is so handsome.


I just smiled broadly.


Mamah smeared Dad's bread with peanut butter.


And I eat bread without jam.


Yeah, I don't like any jam.


"Last night Aunt Ambar came home what time is Mah?"


I looked at Mamah who was sipping her tea.


"It's about 11."


"Old as well."


"Well, as you know Rin, if they have met, that day it felt like an hour. They always gossip. You know what mom is."


"Haha."


I laughed at Dad's statement, with a very funny expression.


"What a Dad! Understand it we haven't seen in years, definitely miss."


With a look of annoyance, Mamah hit Dad's little arm.


"You're Rin, he slept really fast. Last night we talked about Axel's son. "


"Terusss????"


That's all I said after hearing Mama's words.


"Yes, you missed the news."


Dad narrowed his eyes.


I just sighed, I don't care what they talked about last night.


"O yes, we'll be at 7pm to Ambar's house. Your fiancee's at 8, baby."


I looked at Mamah, with a hand that was about to put bread in my mouth.


Means there will be a party, definitely many people dong.


I hate places with a lot of people.


"It's not a party, it's just the five of us."


Dad is great he can know what I don't like.


Love you Daddy..


"You're the same Axel. Don't like crowded places."


My forehead is wrinkled to hear Mama's words.


"The dress and the shoes are in your room. You'll wear that."


"Yes Mah."


That's all I said.


Be that as it may. It feels like there is a turmoil in my heart.


Akhh. Maybe it's just my feeling.


I hope Axel stays as I know him.


After breakfast I went straight to the room.


I saw a black dress with a little blue on the bottom.


Sleeveless dress, only one strap on the shoulder.


After I woke up I didn't notice.


It's really beautiful.


 


 


 


My eyes did not blink looking at the dress.


And the blue shoes are dongker, with a high heel.


 


Thank goodness, not heels.


I can fall later if I wear heels.


Yeah, I'm not the girl who always wears heels.


I prefer to wear shoes and flat shoes if there is an event or going to church.


But that doesn't mean I'm a tomboy, I can dress up like a girl in general.


It's just rare.


I lay my body on the bed.


May everything go well God.


I let out a breath.


Closing eyes.


Prepare your heart, self, energy and mind to face what will happen later.


God bless.

Axel p.o.v


I walked back and forth in front of my bed.


I'm rattled.


I can't believe this.


Is this the right decision?


I'm getting engaged.


Even getting married.


And with a girl I don't know at all.


What about the girl I've been expecting all this time?


I'm still waiting for him.


I sit on the bed.


I rubbed my face rough.


Scroll the watch I was wearing, it was 19:45


The sound of the door being knocked from outside.


Tok.dok..


"Aden, the lady asked Aden to come downstairs right now."


It's Bi Mar.


"Yes Bi, I'll be down soon."


I screamed from the room.


Look at my face and the clothes I wear.


I'm wearing a casual suit.


I didn't want to wear this, but Mamah forced me to.


She nagged for two hours, the color I wanted to wear a t-shirt and trousers.


Bizarrely. Yes weird.


I'm really not interested in this engagement.


But I had to. For Mamah.


I'm out of the room


Down the stairs from the second floor.


At the bottom, I saw Mamah looking at me with a very happy look.


"The son of Mama is very handsome."


 


Mom hugged me.


"Goodbye, you're willing to accept this engagement."


I just smiled back at Mamah.


This engagement is closed.


I asked for it.


Because I don't like crowded places.


Albert and Alex wanted to come.


But I forbid them.


We argued for quite a while, but it's not Axel's name to lose to them.


The sound of a bell ringing.


Ting.tong.ting.


"It seems they've come. You should smile."


I just nodded at Mamah's words.


We walked to the door, though,


I'm curious, really curious about this girl.


Don't don't he...


No no, no, no,


I shook my head, throwing away bad thoughts about this girl who would become my fiancee.


Mom pulled the door.


And look beautiful women of Mamah's age, and men wearing glasses might be the same age as Papah first.


But his face was no stranger to me. I seem to have seen it before. But where?


My daydream is gone, I hear my mama's words.


"You have arrived" said Mamah.


"Sorry, we're old?"


"No, no." Answer Mamah.


And where's the girl I'm gonna betrothed?


He is invisible.


I just saw Mamah hugging the aunt.


"Is this Axel?"


I nodded my head and smiled, answering Om's question.


And shake their hands.


"Well, you're a big boy, good-looking again."


Om Tian, that's what Mamah told me.


"Thank you Om."


I smiled clumsyly.


Handsome??


Yeah, I'm handsome.


Not to praise yourself, but the person who said that.


"You look like your Papah."


I smiled at Aunt Retta.


Suddenly there was a girl who came in a hurry, with a dress that was slightly revealed to the top.


My eyes glared perfectly.


"You're so pretty Flo."


It wasn't me who said that, but Mom.


Gorgeous??


No!!


Far from beautiful.


This girl is ordinary.


Nothing special about him.


Short, thick black hair shoulder-length, and wearing blue stirrup.


"Oh my God, how beautiful is Mom?"


Of course, that question is only in my heart.


I'm getting engaged to a girl like this?


My life will be completely ruined!


There are even many beautiful women that I refuse. And I'm gonna be her fiance?


What do people say later?


I want to drown myself in the sea.


____________


They are currently in the guest room.


Ambar sat next to Margaretta.


Christian who sits on a single sofa.


Axel and Flora are sitting next to Christian with a table that borders them.


"Well, we're just starting the show."


Ambar opened his voice.


Ambar took a heart-shaped box wrapped in red velvet cloth, opened it and gave one ring to Axel.


Without the aba and voice, Axel pinned the ring on Flora's sweet finger.


Likewise with Flora, pinning the ring on Axel's sweet finger.


They applauded, except Axel and Flora.


There was no happy expression from Axel.


Just a cynical smile and that was forced.


"You're finally engaged too."


Retta makes a sound.


"Good darling."


Ambar said to Flora and was only repaid as happy by her.


"O yeah, you're getting married in three months, right on your semester break." Retta opens the voice


Axel's eyes widened, he was surprised, wanting to refuse but it was impossible.


His face was flushed with anger.


"Is that not too fast?" Ask Flora.


"No dear, that's too long. But because your dad said it's better off on semester break, and it won't interfere with your college."


Ambar rubbed Flora's arm.


"And tomorrow you will go to college with Axel" continued Ambar


Hearing that, Axel clenched his hand.


He wanted to speak up and reject everything.


But when he saw the happy look on Ambar's face, he couldn't do anything.


With Christian and Margaretta. He did not want to destroy the moment that made them happy, but instead made him suffer.


Axel took a slow breath, he calmed himself down.


"By Mamah" he said in his heart.


"Yes, then we have dinner."


Connect Ambar,


"Yes, I'm hungry."


Tian's words made them laugh.


They rushed a dinner shirt.


Sit in a chair, and eat in silence.


Only the occasional twang of a spoon is heard .


The faces of the three of them were so twinkling.


Blissfully.


But not with two people who are the main characters in this case.


Just flat expressions and sometimes a thin smile and a makeshift answer if they are asked.
