Pearl of Compassion

CHAPTER 5. Family from the Village

Today Greetha and Nico visit Ardan's house. Because they were planning to talk about their final decision. For them it can not be postponed again as soon as possible better, considering that his son was almost four heads old.

Of course Bi Inah understood this. Although Greetha did not discuss this with Bi Inah but Bi Inah was able to catch the intention of the arrival of his two masters. Because the great lord also came to visit. Obviously something will be discussed.

"Ardan hasn't come home yet, Bi ?" Nico started the conversation. Now they are in the family room.

"Yet, Tyan. Maybe in a minute." Bi Inah returned to the kitchen asking Ani to prepare drinks and snacks for the two employers.

For a moment Nico looked at his wife's chosen girl as the woman in question put her drinks and snacks on the table. At first glance he smiled.

"Looks like a papi, too, Mi." Nico agrees with Greetha's choice, making the woman smile. It's not wrong that he chose that girl. The girl doesn't talk much. Just doing his job well.

"It's dinner today my husband and I have dinner here" Greetha said with a smile.

"Okay, Madam." Then Mariani returned to the kitchen to prepare dinner for the Wijaya family.

A few moments later Ardan returned home. She found her parents sitting in the living room watching television.

"Loh Papi Mami here. How did you not know Ardan? Can Ardan go home spit." Ardan kissed the backs of his parents' hands.

"Not bothering you. You also have a big project." Nico smile.

"Okay, Papi. There will be Mr. Herman. Herman is also reliable." Ardan.

"It is already ... Ardan you clean the body first gih, then we finish dinner together. After dinner someone wants mommy to talk to papi." Greetha chose to have two very valuable men in her life.

"Okay, Mi." Ardan kissed her mama's cheek. Greetha smiled.

Thank goodness I raised him well. Although sometimes like wayward but the child always respects anyone older. Inner Greetha.

Must be about that matchmaking. If only I could marry my servant. Maybe I want to marry tomorrow too. Ardan smiled but then the smile vanished from his lips. Because marrying a servant girl is definitely impossible.

They finally had dinner together. Today's menu is a paste of Pete's sambal and fried mojair. Of course Ardan who had just eaten sambal pete spent 2 dishes of rice. Not only papi and mami who gawked at Bi Inah and Pak Surya who were in the dining room were also inexhaustible how could their young master like that with the pete sambal menu? Nico just shook his head because he was out of words to see his son eat greedily. After they finished eating, they headed for Ardan's study.

"Ardan.... Do you know what age you are now, son?" Nico started the conversation.

Explain now where this conversation leads. Guess Ardan in the heart.

"Yes, Pi... Ardan. Sorry to worry Papi and Mami," Jwab Ardan.

Greetha exhaled softly. This time the conversation was very careful. But memag Ardan the outrageous. Yes, his whole life will not see the woman who will accompany his beloved child? Greetha closed both eyes.

"Bapi and mami have a final candidate for you. This cannot be disturbed. If only you had married, papi mami would not have forced you like this, Ardan. Papi and Mami are old. Please understand the little feelings of papi and mami who are worried about you, son." Nico breathed. Then continue, "I'm sorry if yesterday-yesterday papi and mommy were hard on you. Because deep down, this papi and mommy love you so much, Ardan. Moreover, you only have papi and mami as your family. If papi and mami can't be with you again someday, then how will you? Who's with you when you're having a hard time?"

Ardan bowed listlessly. True what his father said. There was a speck of clear liquid in his eye patch. Why didn't he think so far? Ardan Sesal.

"alright. Ardan, do you like Ani? I mean papi Mariani." Nico spoke out firmly.

Ardan immediately raised his face. "I mean, Papi ? Mariani's the waiter at my house?" ask Ardan. Of course he's confused. What does this have to do with the woman?

"Yes . papi and mami want to match you with him. This is the last candidate for you. Are you ready or not?" Nico looked at the son.

"Of course Ardan would, Pi." Ardan answered quickly.

Of course want with such attractive young leaves.

"But, Pi. Did you talk to Mariani? About this issue?" Of course Ardan welcomed this matchmaking with pleasure. But what about that girl? Did you accept this match? Ardan's heart became a gamang.

"Who said? Ardan wants to." Ardan again cursed at his spontaneous answer. He made both his parents laugh happily.

"It is okay to take care of this problem, let papi and mami stay here. After finishing the new papi and mami will go home to the main house," said Greetha with a smile.

How happy he is right now because Ardan is happy to obey his wishes this time. So did Nico who was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Nico called someone. Saying tomorrow noon his meeting.

In Ardan's room lay his body on his soft bed. It does not seem to believe that it turns out the candidate in question is the woman who lately stole his heart.

"Where is your reaction Ani? May you also accept this match."

The night is getting late the residents of the house finally fell asleep because of their activities today. While Ardan is very difficult to close both eyes. Because of a happy heart.

Why did the big madam call me huh? Do I want to be fired for my cooking yesterday? O God, help your servant. Servant needs this job. Inner Ani.

BI Inah brought the woman to meet the Wijaya family all had gathered including Ardan himself. The woman entered with a trembling body. He lowered his head in case he made a mistake.

"Come, Son. Don't be afraid." Greetha knew the woman must be confused and also afraid of being seen clearly from the mimic of her face. "How do you feel working here? Are you comfortable?"

"Sa.sa.aaya is comfortable, Madam." The girl still lowered her head.

"I want to talk to you about one thing. Do you want to marry Ardan my son?" Greetha asked without further ado. Too rushed.

Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight when he heard the request of his female employer. Mariani straightened her head. Trying to listen more clearly just in case he misheard.

"I'm serious, son. Will you be my son's wife?" Greetha repeated her question. Which now sounds obvious in Mariani's ear if she doesn't hear wrong.

"Sorry, Madam. But I...me..." The woman looked around, including her young master, Ardan .

That guy is handsome. Although his age has started four heads. Then Mariani continued her words, "I, can't, Madam." Mariani lowered her head back. Afraid that his boss would get angry.

"Why? We will accept you happily, son. Even if you bring your child here is fine, too" explains greetha.

The woman was shocked. How did the big lady know she had a child? Really horrible. Mariani.

"I ... I can't, Madam. I also have to talk about this to my parents first, Madam. I can't make this big decision alone." The woman began to dare to talk to her great mistress. However, he cannot give just excuses.

"Good .... Good boy. BI Inah call them here." Greetha gave the order to Bi Inah who was at the edge of the room. Bi Inah also nodded in understanding.

Huh who's coming here. Looks like mami papi didn't say anything last night. Ardan is confused.

"What's this about? Who is Bi Inah here ?" Ani's.

When just entering the room, Ani's eyes glared in disbelief. Captured the four figures he missed the most entering the room. How could Father, Mother, younger brother and of course. What he misses so much is here. It looked like Ardan was frowning both his eyebrows.

Who're they? Ardan is getting confused.

"Today I spoke to your parents, Ani. Well, how's Ani? They say the decision is now in your hands." Nico.

 

Mariani stood looking as if all eyes were now on her. The woman squeezed his hand.
