Like Marrying a Boy

SMB 18S

"Gatra Mahardika. You're the owner of the restaurant where my daughter works?" Janu's resolute voice made Gatra's heart pound very fast.

"I-yes, Sir.

"Then there's something I want to talk to you about." Janu sipped his coffee first. Not to forget he also told Gatra to drink his coffee before it got cold.

After that, Janu started talking about serious things. In fact, something unexpected at all. Janu asks Gatra to marry Agnes. Not without reason, Janu just does not want if later Agnes will fall to the wrong man.

During this time, Janu had not let Agnes be with any man. Even if someone tries to get close, they will definitely retreat after knowing a few days. Most of them do not like the childish nature of Agnes.

However, Janu begins to believe that Gatra can be a life companion for Agnes. Because the man could hold out next to Agnes. Originally, Janu was going to match Agnes to Wibisono, but now he had no idea where the man was. Wibisono was already strongly believed if he became a companion Agnes later.

"I'll think about it, sir." Gatra still felt doubtful and could not be completely sure yet.

"alright. I await your decision. I'll also talk about this with my daughter." Janu also ended the conversation and chose to chat about something else. Janu does not want Gatra to feel more uncomfortable if they continue to discuss it.

Agnes is now allowed to go home. I can't wait to sleep in my own room. Janu was originally about to live in a boarding house or rented, but Margaretha forbade. He forced the man to live together. Of course, Margaretha had spoken carefully to her husband and father-in-law.

"Papa, I never thought we'd be together again." Agnes hugged the father. They are currently on the balcony of the room.

"Did papa promise after this will live well and will not hurt anyone again?" Agnes showed her little finger and looked up slightly to see the father.

"of course. It's enough and papa won't repeat papa's mistakes again. Papa will promise. If one day you make a mistake like this, you can punish your father in the most severe way." Janu frowned.

Agnes' smile also looks perfectly fluffy. "Thank you, Pa."

Janu did not answer. Back landing a kiss even now all over Agnes' face. In fact, Janu has not been willing if Agnes finds a replacement for her so-called husband for her daughter. However, Janu also realized one thing.

The longer, Agnes matures and she will age. Janu does not want to be away from his daughter then there is no one to take care of his daughter anymore because he was not always able to take care of Agnes. He must find a man who can be his surrogate if one day he has to leave his spoiled daughter behind.

"Darling, papa would love to see you get married. Do you have a lover?" janu asked carefully for fear of offending her daughter.

Agnes breaks the hug violently and then crosses her arms. "Don't you not let me date all this time. So, where would a man want to be with me if papa always put a bodyguard next to me."

Janu chuckles at seeing his daughter. "That was. But, now you realize that you're getting older and it's time to have a companion."

Agnes looked at the father very closely. "Is papa serious?" asked Agnes still could not believe hearing the father speak so easily. "Did you not love me anymore?"
