Love And Friendship

Matchmade

The Mahandika Family Residence

Amel's car was parked in his parents' yard. Amel was still in the car watching the house.

" What's wrong Miss?" ask Bagas.

" Look over there!" Amel pointed towards the car that had just arrived at his parents' home.

" It was Mr and Mrs Castello's car" Roy said.

" So they're guests.. Hmm." said Bagas with a nod of his head.

" What's up?" ask Amel.

" Don't let Miss be betrothed to Young Master Castello." said Bagas.

" Your salary wants me to cut." threatened Amel.

" Miss want a bet?" tanya Bagas challenged her employer. Roy who heard them arguing just shook his head. Amel then thought there was no way he would be betrothed, because his parents always gave him the freedom included in the matter of choosing a partner.

" all right. If you're right, this month your salary I'll double. But if what you say is not true, then this month your salary will be cut by fifty percent. How."

" okay.. I agree." said Bagas full of confidence. Amel entered his house, leaving his two bodyguards.

" Good night.." said Amel.

" Good night." replied Amel's parents and Evan's parents together.

" You take a shower first. We'll have dinner together" said Mama Amel. As usual, without answering Amel passed towards his room. Amel did not like stale bases. He did it so people wouldn't like him. She is a friendly and polite girl.

" I'm sorry for Amel's attitude, he was like that" said Papa Amel who felt bad for Amel's attitude.

" It's okay, we've known Amel since orok. We already know the nature of it." replied Aunt Maura.

" Co, is our decision correct?" ask Om Sandy.

" I myself confused San, I was afraid of the nature of Amel that was so, he would not accept this decision." replied Papa Amel.

" Amel will definitely accept my decision" replied Grandpa Amel who had just come with Evan.

" Why did you get along with Evan?" ask Mama Amel.

" We met in front of Tan." replied Evan.

" Alright since all of them are already present, let's go to the dining room." Mr. Zeco asked. They all headed to the dining room.

" Where's my grandson?"

" I'm here, Kek." said Amel, who came down from the second floor.

They then had dinner in silence. After dinner, they continued the conversation in the family room. Grandpa Amel coded Papa Evan and his son-in-law to start the conversation.

" Mell, there's something Papa wants to say." Amel looked at his father.

" This is how my son. We parents agreed we wanted to match our son." explained Om Sandy nervous.

" We're not forcing you, you two can think about it first" added Papa Amel. Mr. Zeco spoke heartily to Amel, even though this was all the plan of Amel's grandfather that Evan knew about but they pretended as if Evan didn't know.

Amel just kept watching them all. Amel is not a person to be lied to. Looking at their attitude, he already knew that it was his grandfather's plan. Because only his Grandpa and Grandma knew the secret of his love story. Looking at Amel who was just silent, made them all was was was.

" Good technique. Is Grandpa sure?" amel asked his grandfather.

" What do you mean, son?" ask Mama Amel.

" Grandfather knows what I mean. Is it the cake?"

" Grandfather doesn't understand what you mean.." Grandpa Amel dodged it because he did not want to make his granddaughter disappointed. Amel then smiled.

" Grandfather was a smart and cunning man. Everyone in the business world knows that. Maybe all this time no one could fight Grandpa's cunning. But did you forget that your granddaughter inherited all the traits that Grandpa had."

" Alright, now Grandpa is giving you a challenge. Grandpa knows you're not a coward." His grandfather smiled cunningly.

" How long is Grandpa targeting?" Grandpa Amel was quite surprised by the question.

" Haha... Is Grandpa sure?" Those who were there only heard it, no one dared to interfere in the debate of grandfather and grandson. They also did not understand where the two people were going. Why matchmaking talk can run into business chat.

" That's a pretty good time" replied his grandfather.

" Alright, Grandpa just set everything up. I'm going first. Good night." Amel then stood up and passed away without regard to his surroundings.

" Amel.." Her mother was confused because their chatter was not finished she was gone.

" Just let Dis he go" said Grandpa.

" But Pa, what about this matchmaking?" ask Mama Amel.

" It's not like you've all heard it yourself that Amel has agreed. I told you that Amel would accept my decision." Grandpa explained.

Amel's parents, Evan's parents, even Evan himself was shocked and confused at Grandpa's explanation.

" When did Amel say he agreed to Kek?" ask Evan.

" Yes Pa. Not that from earlier Amel and Papa talk about business and challenges that" said Mama Amel. Grandfather just smiled seeing they were all confused.

" Amel was the only one who understood my way of thinking. Don't you guys think about it. What matters is that you're taking care of Evan and Amel's engagement party. I'm tired and I'm going home." Grandpa Amel then just left.

" Grandfather and grandson are the same." said Mama Amel.

" Van, you must be ready to be born mind to face your future wife." booed Papa Amel.

" dis.. Is it true that your Papa said that Amel agreed to it?" ask Mama Evan.

" We trust Mr. Bimantara...."

" Well then we'll take our leave" said Papa Evan.

" In preparation for the engagement we will talk again" added Papa Amel. Evan and his parents then leave the Mahandika family residence.

In the car, Amel just silently watched the road. Bagas and Roy looked at each other's behavior.

" Bagas.."

" Yes Miss.."

" This month I'm double your salary."

" So Miss really got betrothed?" tanya Bagas did not believe.

" Hmm.."

" Does Miss approve?" This time Roy asked.

" Grandfather had it all planned out. Can I fight him?"

" Will eat for free again." said Bagas who then got a blow from Roy.

" Every day you eat for free."

" Oh yes.." Bagas scratched his head while grinning.

" Bagas...You have no intention of finding a lover?" amel asked to arrive. Bagas who was drinking instantly choked. Roy and Amel laugh at Bagas.

" You're still normal, aren't you Gas?" ask Roy. It was Bagas' turn that hit Roy.

" I think the same as Roy" Amel said without sin. Bagas rounded his eyes to hear Amel's words.

" MISS CAMELLA BIMANTARA MAHANDIKA I'M STILL NORMAL YES.."

Roy then laughed curled up to see Bagas who was holding back his frustration.
