Shanum halted his steps as a woman stood a few steps ahead of him.
A beautiful face that is still clearly visible despite the age that is no longer young with a knee-length dress patterned with long-sleeved flowers, looks gracefully wrapped her tall body so high, she said, beautiful heels complement their clean white feet.
"Good afternoon, introduce me Empress" the middle-aged beautiful woman reached out her hand with a friendly smile, Shanum greeted and replied with a respectful nod of her head.
"Shanum, just call me Shanum" he said to welcome the Maharani.
"May you give me a minute Miss Shanum" Maharani asked kindly.
"Ehmm, if you may know what's wrong, Madam" Shanum replied hesitantly.
Actually, he really wanted to go straight to the mansion and meet with Rangga, who is now in the mansion to discuss the implementation of marriage with Hardy's father.
"Ehmm, I just want to apologize on behalf of Joy, my son" the graceful woman said.
Shanum furrowed his eyebrows, fitting that at first glance the woman looked similar to someone, and it turned out that he was Joy, the young man who a few days ago Shanum rejected his love statement.
Bold eyelashes and rows of natural thick eyebrow hair, making them have their own characteristics, the gaze is also sharp, sharp, if Shanum doesn't know if Joy is still a student, of course, she might be tempted by her babyface face.
"May we sit for a while in that chair"appointed the Maharani towards the row of garden chairs that were around the parking lot.
Shanum then nodded and followed the Maharani's steps.
The two also sit next to each other, because the chair is not too long, so only enough for two people.
"Ehm" Maharani tried to neutralize his heart.
"I'm really sorry, because of what Joy did, that day's video went viral, and made your good name tainted"The Empress who loved her son so much did not want to be regarded as a mother who had mishandled children to be able to do something that humiliated others, fortunately, the Maharani immediately told the assistant to take care of it until the vidio can be erased and no longer circulate in the virtual universe into a spectacle of netizens who are all right with all his grandchildren.
Knowing that Shanum is a CEO at one of the big companies, Maharani also did not want the girl's good name to be polluted because of the work of the son.
"I've forgiven that Madam, and for me it's no big deal, so Madam doesn't have to worry about it"
"But I'm sorry if Joy has disrupted your activities and personal life, until the vidio spreads"
"No Madam, I don't feel disturbed at all let alone hurt, I know Joy is still unstable as a colorful teenage life, it's natural that Joy is like that" Shanum said wisely.
Maharani sighed, apparently Shanum just considers Joy is a teenager who has just experienced puberty so can not control his emotions well, it is not wrong he thinks Joy is still a teenager, it is not wrong, she is six years younger than Shanum.
Seeing Shanum who turns out to have a position as a CEO, of course, he is older than Joy, and it is natural that the girl still holds Joy as a teenager.
From the soft tone of speech and character, it was fitting that Joy was so infatuated with Shanum, besides being beautiful, friendly and smart, from the look of her eyes was a gentle gaze full of maturity, Maharani thought, who now felt admiration for the young girl before him.
What a pity, if you become my daughter-in-law, how happy I am, the Inner Maharani.
But he also realized, the beautiful girl could not be a daughter-in-law as he hoped, because Shanum already had a future husband.
"Oiya Madam, there's something I want to leave you with, please give this back to Joy, because I can't accept it, it's too precious if Joy gives it to me,I can not accept it Madam"Shanum handed her a beautiful gift given Joy who is still always in her carry.
Shanum felt unworthy of such a costly gift, moreover he had made him hurt after rejecting the love of the handsome young man's son from the socialite woman.
"Ah no-no, Joy has given it to you, and you deserve to have it" Maharani said in a statement.
"But, ma'am, this thing is too precious, I can't have it and I don't deserve it" Shanum said he still wanted to return the gift from Joy.
"Miss Shanum, I'm sorry I have to say goodbye soon, because there are my customers who are waiting for my arrival, and thank you for the time" Maharani also moved from her seat,he does not want Shanum still force him to accept gifts given Joy who wants to be returned to him.
"But Madam, how should I return this thing to your son?"shanum asked with a slight shout as Maharni had already gone a bit far.
"Come to the restaurant where you met yesterday, Joy was there" replied the Empress and waved her farewell.
Maharani wants Shanum himself to give it to Joy, so that her son can accept the painful situation but she must immediately realize her childish attitude.
Shanum put a beautiful gift back in his bag, then drove his vehicle at moderate speed, heading to the father's mansion.
After a few minutes on the way, Shanum suddenly reduced the speed of his car, remembering the word of Missa Maharani if Joy was at the restaurant where she met and dinner which ended the incident raging Joy.
With doubt Shanum finally parked his car.
Nod the heads and friendly smiles of the employees who greeted his arrival.
Shanum smiled even though he was a little nervous and felt guilty for making the owner do beyond his reasoning.
Shanum is the one who causes Joy to act out of control like a tantrum toddler because her wishes are not followed.
But from the behavior of the employees, they still remain friendly to Shanum, even the preferential treatment he got from the employees of the luxury restaurant.
Shanum felt unwell, with their treatment, he scanned the entire restaurant, his eyes fixed as his eyes met a cute figure who was smiling sweetly and stepped towards him.
He could not deny, that his heart was pounding at the sharp gaze of the baby face-faced young man who was several years younger under him.
Shanum suddenly opened his eyes many times, again he realized that now he had to take care of his heart.
"Sorry if you wait too long" said Joy with a deadly smile.
Shanum just smiled wryly, apparently the Maharani Nonya had already contacted the son about his arrival.
"Ehmm, that's okay" Shanum replied briefly and tried to avoid Joy's gaze, Shanum just wanted her heart to remain intact belonging to Rangga and did not want to leave even the slightest place for another man.
Joy then sat on the chair opposite Shanum, her eyes incessantly staring at Shanum.
"I wanted to apologize to you before Sha" Joy finally began to break the silence.
Shanum rounded his clear eyes.
Joy looked at him.
"God is your other creation like her"in Joy.
Shanum now realizes which direction Joy is talking.
"Here you go, forget about Joy, I'll meet you just to get this back to you" Shanum said, handing out a beautiful gift and putting it on the table.
"I've given it to you, and like it or not, it's your right, I won't take it back, you throw it away if you don't want to keep it" Joy said,made Shanum swallow his bitter salivation.
"All right, I'll take it"
"One more time, I'm asking you not to hate me" Shanum rounded his eyes.
"How could I hate such a cute creature".
