Marriage Should Not be Love

Dinner 3

Lala does not know anyone who invited Oma in this dinner considering the Nova family is not a big family.bHe sat in the living room while playing his cellphone.Tak long ago heard the sound of footsteps shoes entering the living room. Lala turned to see who was coming.

"Hi .." said Lala glad after knowing that Vania was coming. He did not expect Oma to invite the girl as well. Vania directly landed her body beside Lala.

"Is there a big event?" whispered Vania later.

Lala looked at Vania in wonder. "Nothing ...What did Oma say to you?"

"Oma asked me to come here tonight, for dinner. I think it's something unusual. There's gotta be something, right?"

"Oh .. that ... Oma invited Kevin to dinner at home."

"Are you serious?" Vania widened her eyes. His voice immediately rose by several octaves. While Lala just nodded. "That's something really big. Does Oma realize what she's doing? What about Nova?"

"Relax ..." Lala was astonished to see the expression of Vania who was so shocked. "Nova is okay. Dinner's been asking for her approval why are you so surprised?"

"How can you?" Vania's voice is getting louder. Lala put her index finger on her lips gesturing for Vania to lower her voice.

"How can you?" Vania repeated her question.

"Of course you can. Oma asked me to persuade Nova to let Kevin have dinner here."

"And he agrees?" Lala nodded.

"Basic bucin!" Lala glared at the words of Vania.

"I'm right, right? For years, Oma had been hiding out to meet Kevin and once you spoke, did she let Kevin come to this house? What does that mean?"

"Ah .. why haven't you been married in the past .." murmured Vania.

Then the sound of conversation from the front indicates that there are other guests who have also arrived. Viviane entered the living room. His appearance is very striking with thick makeup and sexy clothes as if he was trying to attract the attention of men in this place like in a nightclub. Then followed Kevin and a woman whose face can be guessed is Viviane's mother. Siska appeared at the very back, it seemed like she was the one who picked up Kevin and his family.

"Hi Kevin," said Lala. Kevin seemed to be smiling shyly behind his grandmother.

"Sister Lala .." reply Kevin plain. He had met Lala several times so was not so foreign to her. "Where is Nova?" Kevin was seen looking around looking for the whereabouts of Nova.He seemed to want to immediately meet with his brother to make it slip. While Viviane looks surprised to see the behavior of Kevin who seems to have gotten used to Lala.

"Anyway ... I call Nova brother Oma. You wait here first." The boy nodded while Lala returned upstairs to tell Oma that Kevin had already come.

Then Lala walks to her room and invites Nova to come down and join her. Lala goes into the room and finds Nova sitting on the sofa inside their room playing her phone. Lala approached him then sat down beside him.

"Kevin has arrived. Let's go down," Lala.

"May I just stay here?" Nova looks lazy.

"You have to face it ... Continuous avoidance won't solve your problems."

Nova looks brooding. "For Kevin .. he really wants to see you."

"Lah .. Why for me?"

"For your sake, if I don't comply with your wishes then you won't give me my rights." Nova's already starting to rub Lala's lips again.

"That's her name for yourself, not for me" Lala said after Nova removed her lips. "Let's get down now." Lala grabbed Nova's hand and pulled her down to the dining room. Nova just followed him.

All eyes were on Nova as Nova sat in the dining room. Apparently they were all waiting there. Nova looked indifferent without greeting anyone in the room. His face looked flat without any expression as if he was alone in that room no one else.

"Hai Nova .." said Viviane trying to be sweet, but Nova completely ignored her. He only glanced at Kevin and saw the boy's gaze as if hoping that Nova would greet him. But Nova ignored him too. Nova actually did not have the heart to do it either, but she still hated Viviane a lot.

Viviane starts to look upset that Nova didn't answer her greeting but she gets it. Oma has allowed everyone to eat. Oma began to invite Kevin to chat while eating the dish in front of him.

Kevin seems to be talking to Oma because Oma has often met him. She stares at Nova, hoping Nova will look back at her and talk to her, but Nova ignores her. Nova was only seen stirring up food on his plate. The atmosphere feels very stiff.

"Viola ... How long have you and Nova been married?" Viviane opens talks with Lala.

"Six months more" Lala replied lightly.

"Are you not pregnant?"

"Oh ... Me and Nova still haven't thought about that." Lala remained relaxed in response. He was not offended at all, in contrast to Nova who was already seen losing her mood. She knew Viviane was just trying to provoke her emotions or at least corner Lala.

"I'm going back to the room, I don't seem to be feeling well." Nova put down her spoon and stood up about to leave the dining room. No one dared to say anything including Oma.

Lala looked at Nova who was also staring at her. "I will accompany you" said Lala.

"You just keep eating, I'm fine. Just want to rest in the room."

"But ..." Lala had not finished her sentence.

"It's okay," cut Nova then passed leaving them all behind. The atmosphere slightly melted after Nova left the room. His mother Viviane started raving at length about her jewelry and branded bags as if she was very master of those two things while the others seemed to just quietly listen.

After dinner everyone went back to the living room to talk. Then Oma takes Kevin around the house accompanied by Siska, possibly showing some photos of Renand, the father. Vania had to leave because there was a sudden call for work. Lala followed Nova into the room to see her condition. But Nova told him to come back down because he was okay. He was just trying to avoid Viviane.

"Mom heard, right? Nova and his wife have no plans to have children yet, so I have to get rid of them as soon as possible, before they have any offspring" Viviane whispered.

"If they have kids then Kevin's chances are getting smaller to have all of this."

"But how?" reply to the mother who was also in whispers.

"We think about it later at home."

"Don't till you don't get this house. This house is really very luxurious." Since then Viviane's mother has not stopped admiring Oma's house. He continued to stumble around and was stunned by his luxury. Understandably, Viviane's house may only be the size of the kitchen in Oma's house.
