69. The Meeting of Two Families

"Leon, after work this afternoon you go straight home, not to your apartment anymore" Gamsonrich told his son. Although Leon did not answer, Gamsonrich knew that his son had heard what he had to say.

"Prepare yourself well, Mr. Wirelles Nongka's family will come to our house tonight to talk about marriage, you must not be late" Gamsonrich said, standing up from his seat.

"I don't want to marry Nadya Ma. I just want Monaliza, not Nadya, the same bad girl as Mama" Leon snarled from behind his desk.

"Not the same, but worse than Mama!" errat Leon with a high tone.

Mrs Gamsonrich looked at her son, a little unsteady, holding on tight to the edge of Leon's desk. It was not usual for his son to answer harshly while talking to him.

"Leon! Do you want to be a bad boy?! Just refuse Mama's wishes, let alone to call Mama as you said earlier, it's already part of the child's disobedience!" sahut mrs Gamsonrich no less rising.

"Always look at the word of the ungodly child! That's what parents always use to make their kids dolls! For what?! For business! For social status! For what else?!" shouted Leon who could not stand it anymore in the confinement of his mother who always forced his will.

"Good! It's the result of your association with Monaliza. You've always been a little submissive child unlike your rebellious older brother Keny, now you've got the courage to filter your voice when you talk to Mama,"

"That's why, Mama is so against your relationship with that poor, cheap woman. He's a bad influence on you, Leon!" accuse mrs Gamsonrich.

"Stop! Monaliza is not what Mama said," said Leon did not accept.

"Mama's desire to make Nadya a daughter-in-law, will make Mama regret," continued Leon again.

"Easy! Mama doesn't want to continue this debate" said Mrs Gamsonrich, unwilling to listen.

"Mama's waiting for you at home tonight. And you have no reason not to attend this important meeting tonight" he continued, ending the debate with his beloved son. He turned around and left the room, leaving Leon who held back his anger to reveal his hardened jaw.

...***...

"Tante, Leon's coming, right?" asked Nadya who seemed agitated, she went back and forth to see the watch on her wrist that had shown at eight pm.

"Take Nadya into consideration, Leon will come" said Gamsonrich, smiling, but in his heart he was worried that his son would not come, he must be ashamed of his future family.

"Mistress, Nadya was already impatient to formalize her relationship with Leon. Almost every time he talked about Leon at home," said the mistress Wirelles Nongka opened the secret of making Nadya's face flushed with embarrassment.

Wirelles Nongka's words were met with laughter by both families except for Mr. Gamsonrich, Leon's father. He only smiled a little, feeling strange about the words of the mistress Wirelles Nongka who emphasized about the inauguration of the relationship between Leon and Nadya. To his knowledge, Leon was not in any relationship with Nadya, only they were confessing to me.

"What if we just move the dining room while waiting for Leon to come?" said Mrs Gamsonrich made an offer when she felt their dinner hour had been delayed because of her proud son who began to disobey.

"Good idea," replied Wirelles Nongka approving."Once Leon comes we can go straight to the discussion," he added.

They then stepped into the dining room. Back their chat continued there, starting a light discussion about the family to their ongoing cooperation business.

After finishing dinner, the two families moved back to move to the guest room. Mr. Gamsonrich pulled his wife's arm when he saw the Wirelles step in the living room.

"What's the matter Pa?" ask Miss Gamsonrich who stopped her steps.

"I think the match between Leon and Nadya needs to be reconsidered. Poor Leon, he doesn't want to marry Nadya."

"Think well Ma, Leon is our son, let alone Mama who loves him so much, so let Leon choose his own partner, not because we set him up."

"Because all this time, Leon has been a child who always obeyed and obeyed all Mama's wishes since he was a child. So, especially for life partners, give Leon leeway to choose who the woman who is his wife," said Mr. Gamsonrich trying to give understanding to his wife who is more dominant when it comes to their son's affairs.

"It is precisely because I love our son so much that I want the best for him Pa. And Nadya is the best wife candidate, not the cheap woman" he said.

"But Ma, Leon doesn't like Nadya-,"

"Trust Mama, Mama know what's best for our son" Gamsonrich said.

Mr and Mrs Gamsonrich turned to Nadya's voice. "Come on Pa, Leon's here." Mrs Gamsonrich took her husband's hand to join the guest room immediately.

Leon glanced at the spoiled Nadya in his arms, "Can you take your hand off my arm? I feel quite tired because I've been working all day" Leon pinta with a flat look.

"Well," Nadya was forced to remove her hand from Leon's arm, her face bent, disappointed at Leon's always cold demeanor.

"Dear Nadya, sit here" called the lady Wirelles while pointing at the empty room next to her.

"Let Leon stretch his muscles before we talk about the important things about you two" he added, noting the smile on his face. To be honest, he felt offended to see his favorite daughter who was treated warmly by Leon.

"Leon, eat first, then we continue our meeting tonight. Papa's worried you'll get sick if you're late for dinner. Didn't you just get out of the hospital?" mr. Gamsonrich said he was looking for an excuse to speak with his son.

"Leon had eaten outside before he came here, Pa," Leon told a lie. He had not filled his stomach since morning, his appetite was gone after his meeting this morning with Monaliza, until now he still endured the pain of his heart, he said, when he saw Monaliza who he loved so much went with another man in front of his eyes.

"Let's get started on what needs to be discussed tonight" Leon said, sitting quietly beside his father.

"You seem to be unwell Leon," said Mr. Wirellea Nongka, looking at the pale face of Leon sitting opposite him.

"I'm healthy, Om" said Leon slightly smiling at the end of his lips that are almost invisible.

"Well, then let's just start now, so that everything is done soon, so Leon can get some rest," said Mr. Gamsonrich opening an important talk that night.

"Did you agree to marry my daughter Leon?" ask Mr. Wirelles without further ado. The atmosphere seemed silent waiting for Leon's answer that did not immediately answer.

Nadya squeezed the palm of her mother, she felt anxious, because all this time Leon ssalu cold to her to make her afraid that Leon would refuse their arranged marriage.

Not much different from the parents of Nadya, Madam Gamsonrich also felt tense waiting for the answer of her favorite son, only Mr. Gamsonrich who seemed relaxed, he was sure, he was, Leon's son must have decided what's best for his future.

"I agree" said Leon finally broke the silence in the room, making those who heard him shocked at his unexpected answer.

Nadya immediately hugged her mother tightly, her face looked very happy, as well as both Nadya's parents and Gamsonrich's mistress.

"Leon, didn't Papa hear me wrong?" asked Mr. Gamsonrich in disbelief as he rubbed his son's hand.

"Yes, Papa didn't hear me wrong" Leon said.

"Are you sure you want to marry Nadya?" ask Mr. Gamsinrich to make sure.

"Yes, Leon believes Pa, isn't that what Mama wants? Leon just does not want to be said to be a child who is disobedient and disobedient to parents," said Leon still with a flat look.

"I'm sorry to rest Om and Aunt" Leon said, saying goodbye, he felt very uncomfortable being there.

"But we have to determine the date of the wedding first," said Miss Wirelles Nongka made Leon stop his steps.

"Just determine aunt, I just follow the results of the decision," said Leon was not excited.

"How about three more days, the sooner the better," the idea of Mrs Gamsonrich excited.

"Yes, we agree Madam," said Mrs Wirelles Nongka quickly.

Leon again held his chest that was not suddenly painful in there, when he heard the wedding date along with the wedding of Monaliza and Dirga.

Leon had not heard of the discussion of his two masters with Nadya's parents further, his concentration had shifted to the wedding plan Monaliza had obtained from her man.
