My husband's a High School Boy

Episode 5's

Ala's POV

I looked at my face that was still wearing makeup, the good mood that I had built with great difficulty was now ruined after knowing my future husband was 18 years old. Either I have to feel happy because the matchmaking is not smooth so I do not have to get married or feel bad because of my bad luck when dealing with men.

Just after dinner was over, there were no further pleasantries between the parents like before. The silence stopped until it made the Purnomo family resign early politely.

Maybe they were just as shocked as my family who were still silent even after the show was over. There is no more discussion about this match.

I cursed myself who did not find out in advance about the Purnomo family and just foolishly accepted the matchmaking from grandfather just like that.

Though mama was this afternoon to hire an expensive MUA for me just for this event. I felt it was a pity to remove it, but I couldn't possibly sleep with makeup still on my face. My body was so tired and my bed was soft as if waving for me to sleep.

I took a cotton pad mixed with micellar water and gently rubbed it into my face. But the boy's face suddenly seethed in my mind, making me rub my face in annoyance. Upset because even though the boy who was still sitting in the High School bench was so handsome and polite. Seen from the way when talking with grandfather.

I breathed in violently. Although sometimes I am so ambitious and rigid in life, but I am a normal woman. I am weak when I meet handsome people.

After cleaning the makeup, I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. Without further ado, I threw my body into the bed.

Tired and tired feeling more and more when my body has been lying on the bed. It only took a few seconds for my eyes to begin to close and fall asleep.

"Boss, don't you go home?"

"Boss??"

Ria's voice startled me who was daydreaming. "A-what's up?"

It seemed Ria was exhaling violently. "Bos why the hell? Daritadi continues! ntar if the jin jomblo cambets just know the taste!" Vows to me.

"What a disgust really swear-in me kesambet jin! Then why do you call me 'boss'? I have said many times that I am am amused to know that I am called the boss. But it's you who keeps on!" I kept scolding her to divert Ria's questions about why I was daydreaming.

Ria chuckles amusedly at me. "Looky dong! What's the matter anyway? Usually also always focused and can be different between personal affairs with the office."

"What a look? If I have any more problems?" I finally gave up on telling stories. Ria was too long with me until I was comfortable and made it my vent when on the sidelines of office hours.

"Welcome, La! You are always professional when working, suddenly the meeting was a little chaotic because daydreaming. Also almost hit the OB who was carrying tea because of daydreaming, if I did not pull your hand earlier maybe your shirt was wet because of the tea that spilled. Just now, I asked you also not immediately respond because you are daydreaming!" Ria was trying to explain the little mistake I made all day.

Although only a small mistake but so visible because it is rarely done considering I am so demanding perfection in my work.

"I told you about the matchmaking that my grandfather made?" I'm going to Ria.

I smiled wryly at the word ridiculous agreement, yes I myself named it a ridiculous agreement. "Well yesterday they came, we kept eating dinner. Still happy with grandpa because.."

"Aren't you La?" Ria cut my story.

"What?" My forehead frowned.

"Yes the man you want to betrothed dong! What kind of a handsome?"

"Emm, handsome anyway. But.."

"But what?"

"Ihh, so if people say that don't cut dong!" I was upset because my sentence kept being cut by him.

"Hehe ya sorry." Ria answered with a cry.

"But he's 18 years old." I said with my mouth drawn down.

"What's? How could it be?" Pekik Ria's.

"Then from that, Ri. My family was shocked! Keep them silent and the next day the condition of my grandfather immediately drop. His blood pressure was soaring, I was afraid that grandfather's troubled heart was getting worse. I'm sure my grandfather thought a lot about the matchmaking he made." My tears are already in my eyes. I can't imagine my grandfather who always loved me would go and follow my grandmother who left first.

Ria started looking at me anxiously, she who was originally standing in front of my desk now walked over to me and stroked my left shoulder slowly. "Patiently, La. You keep trying to persuade your grandfather to cancel the match and think more about his heart health."

"But, Ri. What if Grandpa keeps insisting I want to marry that high school boy because of the ridiculous deal he made?" My toot.

Ria seemed to think for a moment. "Emm, that means it's your destiny, La."

"But marrying someone I don't love is hard. Plus the age gap so far makes me even more hesitant to continue this matchmaking."

"Emm." Ria seemed to think again. "Why don't you make a deal with that high school boy? Married on condition without your grandfather's knowledge. Your grandfather could be happy that you're finally married to that ridiculous agreement and you'll be able to stay awake on the terms you agreed with that high school boy."

My eyes widened, both hands clutching Ria's hands. "R!!" My screeches. "Tumben your brain is watered down!"

"That's a compliment or a satire?" Ria answered making us both laugh.

Why don't you ever get a crazy idea like that in my brain? Even though crazy is better than having to give up accepting this ridiculous matchmaking.
