My Friend, My Idol Husband (Julia & Edward)

Refusing Matchmaking

Julia Marsha, just call me Julia. People say I look beautiful. Haha, how not, this beauty is a derivative of my mother of course. But my mother died twenty years ago. When I was five years old, he was called the Creator. Since then I have lived with my father.

I have no sister or sister. My days are lonely. Until I finally knew them. Raya and Fira. They were my best friends all along. We're closer than ever since we sat in High School. We also chose the same university.

After getting a bachelor's degree, then we go through the path of life each. Raya takes care of her family's branch cafe while Fira works at her parents' company. I just resigned from where I work. I have been unemployed for one month.

Even though my father always asked me to work in his company, I still wanted to work in another company. Because I don't want to continue to depend on him. I want to learn and start from the bottom.

“Julia, help Dad manage the company. No need to find a job in another company,” pinta dad.

“If I work in the company of my father, what will people say. People will say that I'm a spoiled kid who always takes cover behind dad's armpits. I don't want to. After all, I want to start from the bottom how to be an ordinary employee, and how to behave to my boss. So that if someday I become the owner of a company like Dad now I become a boss who is not only beautiful but charismatic and kind, and smart also of course,” reject me at length.

“You, you can make Dad speechless,” the pass and we laughed together.

Today is the day I will meet my two best friends. We have promised to meet at the cafe Raya and it has become our gathering place. The atmosphere of the cafe is very crowded all the tables are almost full.

Raya is very competent in managing her cafe.

I walked inside the cafe, the waiter said welcome with a friendly smile. Raya waved her hand at me. I'm moving closer too.

“Ayok, we're up! Fira also just arrived,” explained Raya. I followed her to the VVIP that Raya provided whenever we gathered in her cafe.

“Juliaaaaaa!!” fira shouted When she saw me go inside, she immediately hugged me followed by Raya so the three of us hugged. We just met after three months of not meeting.

“Have her hug, I'm hungry!!” I cried while releasing their embrace.

“Haha. It has long not met my beautiful friend so kangen,” exclaimed Fira.

“I've asked the waiter to prepare your favorite meal. In a moment. Be patient, buibu!” We know our favorite menu.

Me and Fira gave a thumbs up towards Raya, “You are the best, Raya,” exclaimed me and Fira together.

We got late in the afternoon togetherness. Tell me about the days we've been through for the last three months. Tells about work, girlfriends, and other feminine things.

I am grateful to be in their midst. Because they are my life becomes more colorful and not lonely. A place of joy and sorrow.

Raya has long been dating Bagas who is studying in Australia. Fira is still changing her boyfriend and close male friends.

I am, until now, still loyal to solitude.

I'm still normal. It's just that I'm less able to express my feelings to people I like. I once put my heart on a man. Devan, he's my father's personal assistant.

But because I couldn't express my heart, I was disappointed. Devan came to deliver her wedding invitation. I hurt myself, I hurt myself, I regret not expressing my heart. After that moment I have never felt this vibration of love in my heart again.

Time has changed night. The sky turned black at night. But we are still joking. The food we ate was gone.

“Julia, now what's your plan?” ask Fira.

“I'll find another job,” I replied.

“Job in my office only. I would recommend you to work at papah company,” he added.

“Iya tuh. Who knows if I have met a mate in his office Fira,” added Raya while teasing me.

I shook my head. Not that I don't want to, I just want to succeed in my own business. At least I try not to rely on others. Even if it's my parents and friends.

“I've sent applications to several companies. This week I'm going to interview at my new workplace. I hope I'm accepted there,” reject me smooth.

“OK, again. If you need help calling me yes!” said Fira.

“You still don't want to work at your father's company? You can be a director directly. No need to find work anymore,” by the Kingdom.

“Whatever your decision is, we definitely support. You know better what is best for your life. SPIRIT!!”

The wall clock was already pointing at the number nine and its long needle was already pointing to the number one. It's time to get home soon. The cafe is gradually quiet, the employees have started to clean up their place of work because it has entered the closing hours.

Me and Fira said goodbye to go home. Fira came home to her boyfriend.

A boyfriend? I also want to be like my two best friends who have someone who loves and loves me. Sometimes I am afraid of being disappointed with my own feelings.

The love of clapping my hands once scared me to open my heart again. Clap one hand because Devan never knew about my feelings. This is my funny love story.

“Julia, you're twenty-five years old. Want to study S2 or want to get married?” asked my dad two months ago on my birthday.

“I haven't thought about it, Dad. I want to find the experience of working first just continue college. If married, I do not have a boyfriend or close friends at this time, so it seems like it is still far away,” I replied.

“How about I introduce you to his son Om Gerald. He said he had just returned from Holland. Who knows you are interested. Try thinking! Father's age is getting older. I want to see you happy. And want to enliven this house with a funny child's voice,” pinta Dad Long times wide when talking about matching me with his friend's child.

Hmm.. Just pray for your son Daddy!!

The night breeze hit, making this foot step faster and enter the car that I parked not far from the entrance of the cafe. I gasped and left the cafe.

I don't know why it's so cold tonight. It felt so bad that I was wearing a sleeveless dress. I used to keep a sweater in the car, but it doesn't seem to be there now. Maybe I forgot to keep it in my old clothes yesterday.

Arriving at home, it seemed like Dad was receiving guests. I don't really care about that. I set foot through the other door so as not to disturb Father and his guests. When I was going up the stairs I passed Devan.

Devan.

My heart beats uncharacteristically when a split second comes into contact with it.

She smiled, “Goodnight, Miss. Master is waiting for you in the living room,” he said.

I was still stunned to see his smile that always fascinated me.

Julia realized, that smile wasn't yours.

“I'm Tired. Just tell me I'm asleep,”, I asked when I realized that he could no longer have me.

“But Tuan will introduce Miss with someone who will be betrothed to Miss,” he explained.

"I told you, I'm tired. I wasn't ready to meet the man I was betrothed to anyway. You're just looking for an excuse to keep Dad from scolding me. Bye,” I waved to him and passed.

Devan seemed confused to find an excuse to explain to Dad why I didn't meet the man.

I continued my trip to the room. Tomorrow awaits me.

Interviews at new places make me a little nervous. After cleaning myself I closed my eyes to rest this body.

Epilogue :

The Gerald Family's.

All the family members enjoyed their breakfast.

"Ed, tonight we go to Om Beny's house, to talk about your marriage to his daughter" Gerald told his son Edward.

Edward simply listened without answering a word.

"You must remember our purpose for the match," Gerald added.

However, on his night Edward visits Beny's house, he sees a woman who charms him and falls in love at first sight. That woman is Julia.
