"Are you okay?" Arthur asked as soon as Mr. Mahesa sat down.
Mala who was also worried immediately approached the table, he grabbed a glass of water on the table and gave it to Mr. Mahesa.
With his hands still slightly shaking, Mr. Mahesa grabbed a glass from Mala's hand and drank it. "Thank you." Said Mr. Mahesa weakly.
"We'd better postpone the meeting sir, it looks like you're not well." Said Arthur.
"I'm fine Mr. Arthur, sorry to worry you guys." Rejected Mr. Mahesa, he insisted on continuing his meeting with Arthur.
"Can I see the design now." Ask Mr. Mahesa after he feels much better.
Arthur and Mala sit next to each other, Arthur shows the design and Mala, he starts to explain every detail of the design. Mr. Mahesa watched carefully, occasionally glancing at Mala and making her even more curious, who this girl really was, why she was so similar to someone he knew.
"Who designed the Landscape?" Mr. Mahesa pointed to a picture designed by Mala.
"I am sir." Mala replied hesitantly.
"Why do you choose to make a forest in the middle of the hotel, can't we plant trees around the hotel?" Asked Mr. Mahesa, he was very curious about Mala's design which was quite unique.
"We are in a country with a tropical climate, when the rainy season comes will usually be interspersed with strong winds, and to minimize the presence of fallen trees I choose to plant trees in the middle of the hotel. The hotel will be built with a height of more than 20 meters, while the tree I choose will not be more than 20 meters, so the wind will be slightly dispelled by the hotel building and the fall of trees we can avoid." Obviously Mala at length, the nervousness that had been there since suddenly disappeared by itself.
"Alright, I will use this design, provided that Mala will be in charge with this Landscape project." Mr. Mahesa's words surprised Arthur and Mala.
"But sir, I'm not an Architect, I just...."
Mala had not finished his sentence, but Arthur cut his words first. "He's still an apprentice, so his experience is still lacking, but I'll guide him in order to finish this project well, thanks for this opportunity Mr." Arthur said with a face full of confidence.
After the work was done, they continued with dinner together. Nothing special, they just enjoy their dinner in silence, just that Arthur feels a little uncomfortable because Mr. Mahesa is secretly watching Mala.
After dinner, Arthur and Mala leave first.
"Hopefully our cooperation is smooth." Said Mr. Mahesa as he shook Arthur's hand.
"Let's hope our design doesn't disappoint you." Reply Arthur flat.
"It's nice to work with aspiring architects like you." Mr. Mahesa extended his hand towards Mala. The girl immediately grabbed Master Mahesa's hand with a smile on her face. "Thank you very much for this good opportunity sir, I will try my best." Answer Mala gently.
After saying goodbye, Arthur and Mala came out of the restaurant, but when Mala was about to get into the car suddenly someone came and pulled her hair down.
"Ouch." Pekik Mala while holding the hand that is pulling her hair.
Seeing that it suddenly made Arthur surprised and also angry, he immediately approached Mala and released a hand that was pulling Mala's hair. When her hair was free, Mala turned around, she was surprised to see a figure standing in front of her.
"Auntie." Mala said nervously, the girl took one step back as if she needed Arthur's protection.
"It's good that you remember me..Now tell me where the stamp is?" Asked bi Ningsih without further ado, he did not even care about Arthur who was looking at him sharply.
"What stamp does bi mean, Mala doesn't know what aunty means?" Mala answered and without her noticing she squeezed the end of Arthur's suit.
"Lo." Sofyan glared as soon as he saw Arthur, he still remembered Arthur's face while beating him.
"Who is La?" Ask Arthur slowly.
"They're my aunt and my cousin sodara."
"Well have you met Mala, have you not cast her out." Said Arthur coldly, his gaze was so intimidating and made bi Ningsih slightly riled up.
"It's none of your business." Reply Bi Ningsih.
"Obviously my business, because Mala is my future wife."
Deg, Mala was fixated, she looked at Arthur who was now holding his hand, there was a strange feeling that looked at her as Arthur called her his future wife.
"What?" Bi Ningsih and Sofyan are shocked to hear Arthur.
"Is that Mala?" Search bi Ningsih.
Mala is confused as to what to answer, she does not want Arthur to get involved in her family problems, but on the other hand she also does not want to deal with her aunt and cousin. "Yes, she's Mala's future husband." Answer the girl loudly. This time Arthur was stunned, he did not expect Mala to follow the game, Arthur smiled at a glance, then he came back very faceless while staring at bi Ningsih and Sofyan.
"It's up to him who, I don't care, the important thing now is to hand over your parents' stamp first." Said bi Ningsih, she was shaking her waist like she was challenging Arthur.
"What stamp do they mean La?" Ask Arthur curiously.
"I don't know either, we better go now." Mala answered, she let Arthur's hand go and got into the car.
"Where are you going?" Shouted bi Ningsih, he did not accept Mala leaving him just like that. Bi Ningsih was about to catch up with Mala, but Arthur confronted him first.
"I can put you in jail if you dare disturb my future wife again." Arthur's whisper was full of threats, and then he got in the car and left the place.
From a distance Master Mahesa observed them, he narrowed his eyes when he saw a figure that was not unfamiliar to him. After Arthur and Mala left, Mr. Mahesa immediately approached Bi Ningsing and his son.
"Delayed." Call Mr. Mahesa, the mother turned her head, Bi Ningsih was surprised, as well as Mr. Mahesa who was no less surprised to see bi Ningsih.
"Mahesa." Gumam bi Ningsih's.
"Who's the girl who just left?" Asked Mr. Mahesa, he wanted to confirm something.
"He.he." Bi Ningsih suddenly stuttered.
"He's Intan's son, right?" Mr. Mahesa said with great emphasis.
"Jawab Ning, she's my daughter, right?"
