“ Maybe Elyas has told umi, about what has happened. “ said Mr. Manoj to the point. He does not want to waste – time.
“ Yes, sir. Elyas told me. I am sorry for the – magnitude of the mistake that my son has done. “ said umi with all her humility.
“ No, umi. It should be me who apologizes. “ said Mr. Manoj. Ruby, the wife of Roy also just sat quietly watching next to Mr. Manoj.
Mr. Manoj seemed to be sighing heavily. “ Indeed the actual incident, nothing happened between Elyas and my daughter. But, everyone doesn't think so. Some even posted the incident on social media. Fortunately, my son responded quickly and immediately stopped the news on social media. I can't think of any other solution. It might sound selfish. Because I forced Elyas to marry my daughter. But thousands of people I bet on. If until the stock value of the company decreases because of this news, then automatically I have to reduce my employees. And Umi can imagine, what their fate would be if I had to phk. “ explained Mr. Manoj at length.
Umi smiled. “ We understand, sir. And Elyas had already decided to marry the master's daughter. “
“ Sorry once again, umi, Elyas. Maybe you lost your love. “ added Ruby.
“ Oh, no why madam. Humans can only love. But the soul mate, it remains in God's hands. If indeed my son's soul mate is the daughter of the mistress, then we iklhas live and accept it. The problem of love, in shayah Allah love will be present with time on the permission of Allah. If God has betrothed his people, then He will also present the love between the two. “ said Umi made Mr. Manoj and Ruby smile widely. They feel they have made no wrong decision.
“ But ladies and gentlemen, this is how we are. Elyas no longer had complete parents. He just has me. And his abi Elyas, did not leave much treasure to Elyas. So sir, madam, we don't have what – what. And as you know, the source of costs for our lives is from your company. “ added umi which he interspersed with a little joke.
Ruby smiled. He then leaned his body forward. He held his hands tightly. “ Treasure is but a deposit from God. And at any time, God can take it back. And the property we have now, is not really just ours. But it belongs to a lot of people. And we as humans, still have the same dignity in the eyes of God. “ he said making Umi smile.
It turns out that the family of Mr. Manoj is not stiff and arrogant as imagined earlier. They are very welcome.
“ Mmmm, by the way – by the way .. Princess master and mistress where ? I really want to meet. “ asked Umi while circulating her gaze around. “ It's natural sir, madam, I want to see what my future ghost looks like. Is she as beautiful as her mother ? “ jokes Umi.
“ Must be umi. You can see, the papa is handsome like this. Hahaha... “ sahut Ruby who was directly accompanied by laughter echoed in the room. Only Elyas and Roy smiled. A forced smile of course.
“ Maybe in a minute, he'll be home. He said earlier, if you will stop by a friend's house first. “ continued Ruby.
“ Umi, earlier I apologize. Actually, this matchmaking, we haven't had time to tell Selsa, our daughter. So, he doesn't know yet. Because well, the incident was very sudden so I have not had time to talk to my daughter. “ said Mr. Manoj.
“ Oh .. But .. “ umi looks confused.
“ But umi take it easy. Our daughter will definitely not refuse this matchmaking. We are sure of it. “ cut Mr. Manoj.
“ Oh, so yes. “ umi forced her smile with a face that still looks confused.
“ Let's please in a drink. “ Ruby allows umi and Elyas to enjoy drinks and some snacks that have been served. He tried to break the awkwardness of the Umi seen since Mr. Manoj said that Selsa did not know about this marriage.
“ From earlier only in Winuin. Come on Elyas, umi. Please. “ he said again.
“ Yes, thank you madam. “ replied Elyas, then he took a cup containing warm tea from the table. Umi too.
“ How about we just talk about the marriage of our – children, umi ? “ asked Mr. Manoj after they took a break to enjoy drinks and snacks that have been prepared.
“ We are up to the master only. “ is not umi who answers, but Elyas.
“ Alright. We want our wedding to be done soon. What if next month ? “ propose Mr. Manoj.
“ Next month ? Isn't that too soon, sir ? “ elyas says quickly. How could in two weeks he have to marry Selsa. “ Oh, sorry. “ he added after realizing his attitude just now. “ I mean, we also need preparation. Although sorry, maybe we will not have a festive party, but still we need preparation. We need to prepare as well. “ he continued unkindly.
“ But sir .. “
“ Already, do not think of anything. “ cut off Mr. Manoj. “ We will still celebrate your wedding. After all, business colleagues, employees in the office should know about your marriage. You don't mind Yas ? “ continued.
“ Selsa is our baby. The only daughter in this house. Marriage only happens once, by the permission of God. We want to give our best for him. So I hope, you do not take offense or feel discouraged. “ added Ruby because she saw the face of Elyas who looked unpleasant.
“ I-iya, mistress. “ replied Elyas staggered.
“ So how umi ? Do you agree if our marriage is held early next month ? “ ask Ruby to umi.
“ In shaa allah. I concur. Good intentions should indeed be in motion, so as not to become a maksiat. “ replied umi and made mister manoj and his wife smile with relief.
A car stopped in front of the house. A maid immediately came out to greet.
“ Sri, did Selsa come home ? “ ask Roy.
“ Yes, mas Roy. “ replied Sri who wants to go back to the back.
“ Sri, tell Selsa to come here for a while. Say, there are guests who want to meet him. “ said Mr. Manoj.
“ Good sir. Excuse me. “ replied Sri.
Before long, Selsa came down the stairs. He still wears his work clothes. He entered the family room while grumbling, “ Who is the guest ? just be careful if Datuk maringgih comes. “
“ Selsa, here. “ call mr. Manoj. Selsa walked closer. He looked to the side of the guests there. He slightly bent his body while smiling at Umi, then his gaze moved to Elyas while his forehead was furrowed.
Why is he here ? ask Selsa in her heart.
“ Selsa, knowin, this umi nak Elyas. “ said Ruby gently with a smile.
Selsa did not respond to Ruby's remarks. But he turned his head back towards Elyas. Um Elyas ? Why did he come here just as much ? ask Selsa in her heart. But unkempt, he came closer to Umi and felt her, then kissed the back of her hand.
When she bent her body slightly, Selsa covered her dannya with her left hand. He realized that if he looked down, he would be seen from the side of Elyas sitting.
“ Sit, Sa. “ Mr. Manoj's word.
Selsa looked at the empty sofa. And the empty sofa was right in front of Elyas. Clumsy, he turned around, then sat on the sofa. Before sitting down, he allowed his skirt. Pull it further down so that when he sits down later pa just not exposed freely.
Tumben the Indian is keeping the image. Usually, sit down and sit down. Inner Elyas and Roy.
“ Beautiful yes mistress, her daughter. Looks like I will be at home. “ kelakar umi to ruby who looks happy smile. Selsa is still confused by what happened.
