Married Because Forced

Visiting the Oma Mira

Vina stared at the business card Dino gave her. Vina did not know what to answer to Dino later, all she thought was a sense of worry at Dino's invitation. Vina didn't know she had to refuse or accept it. Busy with her daydream, Vina suddenly approached her closest friend in the office named Lisa. Lisa saw the strangeness of Vina who was just busy looking at the business card she held in her hand.

"Card name who's all" seduced Lisa.

"You did not see me"

"Who told you to look at that. Whose business card is that? Ko diliatin mulu" Lisa curious.

"This is the card where the guy I took went. I'm confused about what to do, I haven't given an answer about the invitation"

"Yes accept his invitation. Until when do you want to close the door of your heart. Are you the same as yourself and your child? You still need a protective figure and also a person who can love you. Try to open slowly your heart, I know it is not easy but if you like this continue until whenever you will continue to live with your trauma" Lisa suggested.

"I'm just afraid of being disappointed again Lis. Moreover, this guy is also single. I'm afraid he's approaching me just because he feels like a kasian"

"Don't accuse the rich first. I'm sure he must have considered everything to approach you. Now you think and give clarity about his invitation, do not ignore the continuous men who want to decetin you. Because without you knowing you can just pass a good man and right for you. I'm back at work first yeah, think it's okay" said Lisa left.

Vina was worried about Lisa's words. Should he accept Dino's invitation? But what about Dad? Are you gonna let him go with Dino?.

That afternoon Vandra was on her way to Oma Mira's house. Vandra wants to go alone to visit Oma without telling Andra beforehand. It was done because Vandra wanted to help Andra get the blessing of Oma. While bringing a parcel for Oma Mira, Vandra hopes that Oma Mira will love it later.

Arriving at the main house, Vandra is welcome to wait in the family room by Oma Assistant who is usually used to being called Mutia Assistant. While waiting, Vandra manages to catch her breath and also gathers the courage to confront Oma. Things or words that will happen, Vandra is ready and does not want to make it as an excuse to disappoint him and make him retreat to get the blessing of Oma.

The waiting came, with a nodding face Oma Mira approached and sat in front of Vandra with a cold gaze. It is clear, the arrival of Vandra definitely makes Oma Mira surprised and unexpected.

"What are you here for? very brave" Oma Mira said.

"How's Oma doing? I heard Oma is sick, I came here to visit Oma" Vandra replied politely.

"I don't need to care about you"

Vandra smiled and ignored Oma Mira's words. He turned the conversation to the parcel he was carrying.

"This is Oma, I brought Oma's favorite cake. This is Mas Andra who prepared, because Mas Andra is still busy with his office work so I was asked to take him to Oma" Vandra put the cake he brought on the table.

Vandra is actually lying about Andra asking Vandra to come visit and bring cake for Oma. Vandra does exactly that, so Oma Mira will think that Andra still cares about her.

"You sure Andra prepared this for me?" Oma Mira made sure.

"Yes Oma. Mas Andra was so fond of Oma, even Mas Andra was so worried to hear Oma was sick"

"Is that true?"

"Yes Oma"

"I heard you were pregnant? didn't it?" ask Oma Mira.

"real Oma. My pregnancy is currently in week 3"

"Take good care of you. But you should not feel if I have received you in the Wijaya family. I just don't want to hate the child in your womb, let alone the child is Andra's son" pinta Oma.

"Yes Oma, I'll take good care of my womb"

"I know Oma actually has a good heart, but because Oma is looking for the attention of all Oma people to be like this" Vandra's inner self.

"Excuse me, big lady, there's Miss Amy coming" Assistant Mutia told me.

"Send him in" Oma Mira ordered.

Aunt Amy approaches Oma Mira as well as Vandra. While carrying the parcel, Aunt Amy greeted happily. Aunty Amy is Oma Mira's first daughter-in-law, she is the wife of Om Dika the first child of Oma Mira and Opa as well as Kaka Papa Tomy.

"How's Mama doing? I'm suffering Mama's sick" asked Aunt Amy.

"Mama's condition has improved"

"Thank God, I brought something for Mama"

"Thank you"

"Yes Mah. Hi Vandra, how are you? long time no see, you're not accompanied by Andra here?" aunt Amy asked Vandra. Aunt Amy who has a good attitude and is always friendly to anyone always welcomes anyone she meets.

"My news is good Auntie, how's Auntie doing?"

"Good Aunt News. You come here yourself because Andra is busy in the office so you can't accompany you here"

"Yes Aunt"

"Oh yeah, Auntie heard you were pregnant again. Oma Mira is always waiting and waiting for the granddaughter of Andra. And finally that hope will happen soon, won't it Mah?" Aunt Amy asked Oma Mira.

"Yes" replied Briefly Oma Mira.

"Amy, can you please make Mama some chicken soup? this afternoon Mama wants to eat it" Oma Mira asked Aunt Amy.

"Yes Mah, I'll make it for Mama"

"You take Vandra, teach her to cook as well" Oma Mira ordered.

"Yes Mah. Come on Van, come with Auntie" take Aunt Amy.

"Yes Aunt"

Vandra follows Aunt Amy to the kitchen to make Chicken soup, in fact Vandra feels strange. Why would Oma ask Vandra to help Aunt Amy cook?.

Vandra sees Aunt Amy preparing ingredients to make chicken soup for Oma Mira, while helping to cut Vandra's vegetables asking Oma Mira's order to Aunty Amy.

"Tante, can I ask you a question?" ask Vandra.

"Ask what?"

"Why did Oma ask Auntie to teach me how to cook?"

Aunt Amy smiled at Vandra.

"That's a sign you're getting accepted into the Wijaya family. Oma since long ago was like that Van, he wanted a daughter-in-law and even grandchildren of their partners could get a good woman. Although our nature as women should not be obliged to cook, but cultivated as wives we must be able to serve our husbands well. Moreover, Oma does not like to eat out of the house, so Oma always asks her family to eat home food" Aunt Amy explained.

"Oh yeah, have you ever cooked before?" ask Aunt Amy.

"Aunty, but not very good at cooking"

"If so we cook together, so you can be an expert in cooking"

"Yes Aunt"

"What did Aunt Amy really say? if Oma Mira starts to accept my presence? but why all of a sudden? what makes Oma Mira so?" inner Vandra wonders.
