CPTR III: Papa's Order
In the past year, Mona has made dozens of short blind dates at her mother's request and it's done almost every day. All of that was done by her mother to immediately get a husband for Mona and brush off bad issues about her.
Issues about Mona's wild nightlife and the love story that follows her have become common secrets among the city's businesspeople. A young girl, from a broken home family, a party hobby and who is definitely wealthy.
Mona drags her tired body back to her apartment. The apartment is located in the city center. Mona actually bought it last year. The apartment unit is not only 90 square meters with two rooms, a kitchen, living room, and a balcony for sunbathing.
When compared to the house where he grew up this apartment looked cramped, but he lived alone, so that was enough.
With the nuances of modern design and various minimalist touches combined with a little expensive painting that he bought at the exhibition, this apartment is a favorite residence of young people.
Mona poured herself a glass of water and then slowly sat down on the sofa before her hot head exploded from annoyance.
Mona gulps down the water, turns on the television, and tries to focus on the news she is watching. But suddenly his phone was buzzing from the table.
Mona snatches her phone hoping the person calling her is Gama. But when he saw the non-Gama on his phone screen, the moodiness in his clear eyes became even more intense. That is Papa.
“Halo? Papa, it's me. What's calling nights like this?”
“Mona, have you had dinner?"
"Mmm, already. I just got back from an arranged meeting, Mama. Papa Tumben hasn't slept at this hour.”
“Haha since the divorce with your mother Papa can stay up free at will. Actually, there's something Papa needs to tell you. You have to do it for the company and also Papa." Papa who usually always jokes suddenly sounds serious and it makes Mona worried. Especially until the company is closed.
Mona remained silent and her father continued.
When Papa said this, his old voice suddenly stopped, then he continued, “Papa indeed never interfered about your love problems. But tonight Papa wants to recommend someone. He is a pretty good and responsible person. He just returned from Tokyo and became the sole heir.”
Mona was still silent and this made her Papa continue, “Actually she is our company partner. Since there's a chance that you might meet him at a meeting in the future, Papa ends up talking about you in front of him and he seems interested. And I'm sorry, Papa knows it's a little less but Papa has arranged a place for you on this Saturday at 06.30 pm at Majapahit House & Resto. He is a hard worker and has no interest in marriage. Papa thought you two might be a perfect fit for each other.”
There was a long silence of the two dainatara. Papa suddenly said, “Sorry.”
Mona muttered little and replied, “It's okay. I'm actually pissed. But it's okay. You two look the same.”
“Pardon Papa, but Papa was forced to interfere because he did not have the heart to see your situation.”
“What circumstances?”
“Your social conditions. Bad rumors about you circulate from all directions. Some say you are impregnated, you become the mistress of an old official, some even say you are now living alone with someone. Papa doesn't believe all that. That's why Papa is here to help you.”
“By setting me up? Wow, thank you very much Papa.” Mona said in a sarcastic tone.
“Tomorrow just come first. This is the first time Papa has asked for your help. It will also be the last. Good night, sleep well dear.”
When I finished saying that, Papa hung up the phone. Mona didn't even have time to ask about anything else when the phone closed. Mona stared blankly at the screen of the already darkened phone and suddenly started laughing bitterly helplessly.
Now even her Papa's turn is beginning to worry about her promiscuity.
