"Sorry old aunt" Elliza said, kissing Monika's aunt's hand
"So, aunt has just arrived"
"Sit down baby"
"Favor aunt"
"What do you want to sign El?" Monika asked after Elliza sat down
"I want a steak as much as an ice boba or tan"
"ok"
Monika calls the waiters to order the food they choose. After ordering they chatted and joked.
"El auntie want to ask?"
"Ask what aunt"
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Monika asked while looking at Elliza
"Not yet" Elliza replied grinning her forehead feeling confused by Monika's question
A waiter came to bring their order
"Excuse me" Waiters said, putting the food down
After the waiters left they ate the order, while chatting
"Emmm... El" Call Monika in doubt
"Would you not marry a aunt?"
Uuhhuuk
Elliza chokes while drinking
"Dear one" said Monika stroking Elliza's back
"What aunt did you mean?"
"Aunty wants you to be Aunt El's daughter-in-law"
"But why did auntie betrothed Elliza to aunty's son?"
"Because aunt believes you're a good boy and can be a aunt's child's companion"
"Huufft" Elliza sighed
"Give Elliza time to accept this and talk to Daddy and Mommy, tan"
"Good aunt give time to think. Aunty hopes you accept aunt El's request but aunt doesn't force you to accept or refuse"
Their conversation ends until Monika takes Elliza home.

"Mom don't talk like that" Ken said
"No one knows how mom wants you to marry" Monika looked at her son inside
"Who is married to Mah? Boyfriend does not exist"
"Elliza's.. Mama wants you to marry her"
"Yes!! We don't know who he is? What's his family like? Ken only met once, but my mom told Ken to marry him"
"Mama believes she's from a good family. She's a polite girl, son. She could be a good wife to you"
"Ken can find his own wife"
"But when is son? Mama is old and my mom has grandchildren"
"Hmm" Ken took a deep breath at the thought of his mama's words
"Ken.. " Call her mama to lean from her daydream
"All right Ken wants to"
"Are you serious, baby?"
