“Claudia is not Mah, Pah. Claudia is mature enough to find her own future husband. Please, this is not the era of Siti Nurbaya”. Claudia kept pleading with her parents.
Her parents looked at Claudia in silence, which should be a happy event for her only child. Yes this is his 25th birthday, they have prepared it perfectly, dinner in a fancy restaurant and only the three of them in it.
“Can't, don't want to or like not like you have to be engaged to Papah's friend's child. We've promised to set you up, and Papah is sure he's a good boy”. Surya cried with an angry face.
“But pah, I'm not ready to get married. I still want to meet a lot of people”. Claudia.
“You can still meet your friends son, no one will forbid you, mamah promise. Because of that your papah deliberately ordered this one restaurant because all of you invite candidates and their families so that you can meet first and get to know each other”. Persuade Mariam, reassuring her son with pity. Because she herself felt sorry for her only daughter, but how else, her husband had willed and she could not cancel it.
“Engga, I don't want to. I won't accept.” Claudia said with her cry together, standing up and leaving her parents with annoyance.
He still could not figure out how his parents could do that to him, he felt he was still very young to be engaged or let alone married, never in his shadow all along.
He who wept running was disappointed in his parents, do not realize if there is a vehicle that runs fast towards him and almost hit him if the owner of the vehicle is not alert to brake suddenly.
Claudia who of course felt shocked, just fell down even though there were no injuries on her body, she was just shocked by the shock that hit her.
“What are you doing in the middle of the road like this, you did it on purpose?”. Turning the middle-aged woman by while descending her car, she looked at Claudia suspiciously.
“Sorry aunt, I accidentally. I think I'm fine, so I'll get out of here soon.” He replied in a hurry, because he was worried that his parents would follow and bring him back to the restaurant. The middle-aged woman looked at him in astonishment at the attitude of the girl he had almost hit.

“How is this reward, mamah worried Claudia will do strange things, mamah afraid something happens to him”. Raut worried clearly visible on Mariam's face, she was really afraid of something that would endanger her only puppet princess.
Surya Saputra was still speechless, he could not believe that his daughter would run away leaving them both. Quickly he immediately contacted someone via his mobile phone “Quick, follow Claudia and if it has been caught then immediately take him home.”
“How is the reward? We shouldn't force it like this, maybe we should have conveyed it slowly from the beginning. Mamah is worried about pah.” Mariam then shed tears that earlier in her seat…
“Already, you do not make me more confused mah, papah also do not know if the end is like this. Quickly remove your tears before they come, let papah who will take care of it”. He told her while trying to calm his crying wife.
Sure enough, not long after that his friend came to be accompanied by his wife while walking her way.
“Your daughter's reception, I didn't see her?”. Tomy asked while looking at Mariam and Surya, he was also curious about the face of his future daughter-in-law, because he had never seen her again after Caludia stepped on the high school bench. Understandably, because Beleza and Tomi immediately left Indonesia and took care of their company in London, so this is their second day after setting foot in the water tank.
Surya also asked the two to sit first on the bench that has been prepared, “Please sit first, I will explain”. Pinta Surya by directing his hands to the chair in front of him.
“I told him to come here soon, but he said it was impossible because the trip from Bandung to Jakarta was quite time consuming. It was my fault for telling him suddenly. But I'm glad I finally got to see you again. “ Surya assured his best friend.
“Oh take it easy, I understand. Moreover, this is his birthday of course he wants to spend time with his friends. I also actually feel bad, because my son is not coming today, he is still in London taking care of the work that has not been completed. Now we better enjoy our meeting back today.” Tomi said happily, because she was finally able to meet her old friend again.

Claudia who had been walking earlier, did not realize that there was someone who had been following her earlier and then the person pulled her to get into the car she was carrying.
Of course he was surprised, he tried to shout while pulling his hand to release, but a moment later he knew that it was Mr. Tono, one of his father's bodyguards. Claudia had no choice and entered the car with a flat face.
“Sorry yes non, I was only asked father to bring non home to home”. I feel bad for the boss's son.
Claudia who certainly must have known this, she just nodded her head assuring what oak Tono said.
Arriving at home, which is located in one of the elite housing in Jakarta, he immediately went into his room and locked the door from the inside.
she did not want her parents to come in and force her back for the engagement.she immediately laid her body on the bed, while thinking about how exhausting it is today.
surprised by the sudden notification of his father about the engagement and also about the incident he just got hit.
"What if I get hit, will papah and mamah make the engagement?" muttered.
he then thought to find a way for the engagement to be canceled by his parents, then a moment it also appeared on his mobile phone a sign of a message.
he immediately opened the message which turned out to be Amelia. His old high school friend who had hardly ever met him.
in the message, Amelia sends a message to the group saying that she is looking for someone she can invite to work at one of the private hospitals where she works.
