Me Vs Flocking Mommy

Chapters 1. Proposal

That night, Azura Auristella or commonly called Ella, just finished praying magrib. He rushed out of the room to prepare dinner as usual. Arriving at the door, Ella smelled a very fragrant meal. His stomach immediately revolted, asking to be filled as soon as possible.

“Mama cook what, huh? Very fragrant?” inner Ella.

“Ella, let's change your clothes in neat clothes. Mama has prepared a lilac-colored dress for you in the closet,” orders Ghina Delisia, Ella's mother.

“Loh, tumbents? We want to go party?” Ella frowned, until both her eyebrows were tied together.

“Ngak, darling. We're having a special guest tonight. Come on spit,” said Ghina.

“Special guest? Who, anyway? Aunt Sri? Aunt Galena?” muttered Ella curiously.

“Udah, spout change your clothes. Just a neat dance. Mama also wants to be ready,” said Ghina before returning to her room.

Ella was still standing at the door of her room. He could not guess at all, who the special guest meant by the mother. They rarely have guests, except on Eid al-Fitr.

“Ella, have you changed clothes yet? Later the guests will come, you know,” said Ghina from inside the room.

“Iya, it's about to change clothes.” Ella hurriedly returned to the room.

The girl opened the old closet left by her late father. A lilac-colored dress, tucked between her school uniform that was neatly hung. Ella had never seen him, it seemed like mom had deliberately bought him to welcome this special guest.

Just as Ella finished dressing up, a roar of cars entered the courtyard of their modest home. The curious Ella peeked out of the window. The young girl uncovers the curtain of her window, to see a special guest called by the mother.

“Hah, is that Albert's brother? Tumben he's coming? What's up, huh?” Ella jumped in shock, seeing her mother's master visiting their home. He was also curious about what was happening.

“Ella, it's done, right? Come out,” said Ghina.

With a pounding heart, Ella stepped into the living room. The problem was that their guest was a young and handsome man, who always made his heart beat twice as fast. But the man never responded to his feelings, more than a friend. Today the man did not come alone, he was accompanied by a beautiful middle-aged woman, whom Ella assumed was his mother.

Ella could only guess the purpose of them coming here. Did her mother make a fatal mistake? But the atmosphere did not look like there was a big problem, it even looked quite relaxed. A few minutes later, they had another guest. This time it's Om Ganendra and Aunt Galena.

“Alright, because everything is complete, I welcome for important guests we convey the purpose of his arrival,” said Om Ganendra opened the conversation.

“Thank you for the opportunity given. So without a direct stale base I just say. My arrival here is to apply ..”

“Apply? But I'm still SMA.” Ella cut the talk of the handsome man. Everyone was silent, and looked at each other. Ella was still unaware of the mistake she had just made.

“Ella, let him talk first,” reprimand Om Ganendra.

“Emm .. I mean, will apply for Sister Ghina Delisia, as my future wife,” the man continued smoothly.

Ella looked at her mother. He was looking forward to the answer swirling in his head at this moment. “Ma, what joke is this? Mama just got proposed? Same snot boy?” ella was full of emotion. The young girl was embarrassed to death, because she had been too petty. He thought the man had come to propose to him.

“Nak, how do you talk like that? Listen to Mama first. You know, Albert's not a snot boy. He is old enough to get married,” Ghina said.

The atmosphere became tense. Albert was eager to interrupt Ella's sentence, but was prevented by Om Ganendra.

“Ella, keep your language,” reprimand Om Ganendra. “No harm ‘kan your mama in lamar? Your mother has long lived alone,” continued Ghina's sister-in-law.

“Currently, Ella. Give your mother time to answer. You also want your mama to live happily, right?” aunt Galena, Ghina's younger sister.

“Sigh! Not all of them are sane! Why don't Om and Aunt protest, anyway? It's a taboo issue. Is it just me here, who just knew this plan?” Ella's getting emotional.

“Astaghfirullah, Ella. You know manners, right? Lower your voice and watch your speech,” anger Ghina.

“Sopan manners what? You guys are weird. Is it worth an old woman like mom, marrying a much younger guy? What do people say later? Finally just make our family embarrassed,” said Ella did not want to lose. The girl pointed her index finger at Ghina.

“Ella! Don't yell at your mama like that! Be more polite. Let's apologize to mama,” Om Ganendra's orders.

“Ella, sorry if you can't take it. But it's not your mama's fault. I liked Ghina first and wanted to ask for her hand,” Albert said gently.

“But Mama didn't reject and refute it, right? Mama should know herself,” Ella replied with a ketus.

“Ella, your mama deserves to be happy. Let him make a decision with a calm heart and mind,” advice Aunt Galena.

“Iya, I also want happy mama. But not by flocking like him. That's his name.” Ella continued to reject the proposal. “There is no other man besides him? The age is more worthy of being my new papa.” Ella pointed her index finger at Albert.

“At this time I love your mom. There's no harm, right?” said Albert. “So let your mama decide the answer. I'm not forcing,” continued the young man.

“Yes but I still refused it. I don't need a new papa, if you are the one,” concluded Ella ketus.

“Ella ..” Ghina took a deep breath, then exhaled. He was saddened to see the reaction of his extremely arrogant single daughter.

“What are you waiting for? Let's just refuse now,” urged Ella. He did not listen to the advice and reproof of everyone there.

“It can't be so, son. Let your mama think first,” the middle-aged woman sitting next to Albert finally spoke up to mediate the situation.

“Why can't you? Or maybe there's something else I don't know?” ask Ella.

“Means?” ghina and Albert asked at the same time.

Ella took a deep breath. “Yeah, how do I know? Also called house assistant. Often alone with her handsome employer, in a large and quiet house,” accused Ella.

“Astaghfirullah, Ella. That's too much!” Om Ganendra stood up, and pulled Ella's arm. “Let's go to the middle room. We talk together,” said the man.
