For the umpteenth time in thirty-five years of his life, Enzo was again faced with an arranged marriage arranged by his father. The reasons for the ripe age and successor of the father's business empire are already a mainstay, and Enzo has been memorized out of his head. Yeah, that's not wrong either. What his father did was not wrong at all, he just did not have the desire to be in a relationship with another woman anymore.
Especially if you see what the father wants about the perfect prospective companion, Enzo really can not think clearly anymore. What is the definition of perfect? Even Enzo is very sure if Queen Elizabeth also has flaws, then why should look for the perfect.
“If you can't find the right companion for your life, then dad will manage all that.”
That's what Enzo will always remember if his father has talked about the daughter-in-law in this family. Her mother also did not have enough to stop her husband's wishes, because she was also eager to see her son get married and build a family of her own. So that there are new family members in their family and friends chat with the mother.
Then here is Enzo, sitting in one of the cafes with a Mediterranean concept, sipping coffee from the cup he just ordered. He will not be an ungodly child by opposing the wishes of the father again, the relationship has begun to improve even though it is still colored by various bickering. Gioto knows the reason why his only son does not want to get married or get into a relationship, and only matchmaking is the only way.
Enzo did not have to bother asking for photos of women who would be paired with him, because he thought all women were the same. They are both beautiful, that's for sure. Enzo is not the type of man who is very much after a woman's physique, he will look at the woman's personality first to determine a match.
“Sorry, am I late?”
Enzo's focus on his phone instantly shifted to that soft voice. Standing a beautiful woman with quite striking makeup for the summer in Germany, wearing a dress with flowers and black curly hair draped along her shoulders. Beautiful, but still does not change the fact if they are in a match. It would be nice if they met naturally.
“No, I just arrived too. You want to order directly?”
The woman simply nodded her head and smiled, slightly blushing with this handsome man before her. He already knew this man very well, but when seen directly like this, his good looks increased many times.
The afternoon chat was dominated only by the woman named Charlotte, she was very enthusiastic to tell about her story, hobbies, work she is doing today, and so on, and there's so much more to Charlotte that Enzo really doesn't want to know. Since the first chat, Enzo had no interest in continuing this meeting. He just put on a smile as a formality.
Their table was located near the window, giving Enzo quite a bit of variety in the scenery, so it was able to cover up his affection for the woman before him. Then, his eyes were fixed on a familiar sight for him. Look behind the woman who is wearing a oversize shirt and also hot pants.
Elle, who else is the woman he's close to except the secretary. Does this time he also have to use Elle to escape this Charlotte? Enzo typed something on his phone quickly.
Turn away.
Enzo watched closely the woman who started checking her phone. It only took a few seconds for Elle to completely turn around, even though their gaze had yet to meet. Elle's eyes were still searching around him.
In the cafe.
Fortunately there are not many buildings in the form of cafes along this location, so Elle can easily find Enzo who is smiling at him. He raised his eyebrows in confusion, should they also wave at each other like two friends who had not seen each other for a long time? It's weird if Enzo really
expect something like that.
“Enzo, are you listening to me?” ask Charlotte. He looked at Enzo whose focus had shifted.
“Ah, I'm sorry, Charlotte. My friend was waiting, I forgot to have an appointment with him. Nice chatting with you.”
Enzo immediately got out of the cafe in a hurry, and for the umpteenth time he left the woman he had been betrothed to just like that. He does not fit into the match, so he hopes that his father will understand and wait until Enzo finds someone who is really suitable for him.
“Did you also follow me again this time?” elle asked in full search when Enzo arrived before him.
This is the second time Elle has met Enzo again, either by chance or on purpose. If Brian saw this, the man would definitely be very excited because his plan really worked. Enzo was still neutralizing his breath that was a little ngosan because of running, even though he did not need to run so.
“No, this time you saved me.” Enzo gave his smile to the woman. “Ayo.” This time even Enzo immediately held Elle's hand without hesitation, he needed something convincing so that Charlotte had seen this and canceled the matchmaking.

Reno's wedding will still be held in two weeks, in fact Nabila does not have much preparation to face her ex-husband. Only marriage, even if it hurts her, cannot be seen in front of her ex-husband. He had to prove that he could stand on his own two feet after being hurt so deeply.
It is still in mind whether he will bring Richard as planned by his three friends. At least he needs someone beside him to support himself in case he intends to throw something to the bride later. A few extreme scenarios were already drawn in his head, he just
just gathering courage.
“Mbak invited here too?” ask Juna.
I've told you that Juna is very deft and also good, right? To add to his shortcomings, he is very chatty and also sometimes very noisy. Sometimes it can be entertaining, but sometimes it can also be very annoying for Nabila. Juna stared at the invitation that Nabila accidentally put on the table when he was unpacking the contents of his bag.
“Why?”
“I was also invited to their wedding, Ma'am.”
Now Nabila focused his attention on Juna. This Juna has nothing to do with Reni or her family, right? Or maybe Juna is Reno's distant cousin who Nabila does not know? Why did Juna get to know the bride and also get invited to the wedding?
“You know them?”
I don't know why Nabila breathed his leg. In this new office, no one knows who her ex-husband is, they only know if Nabila is a single mother who divorced from her husband. There is no need to explain the details as well, because Nabila does not want it. Know for yourself how the atmosphere of the office if it has been blown news what causes them to divorce, then who divorces, which is more extreme is if they are already curious about who the husband is.
Nabila really avoids such little things. After that he only gave a thin smile to Juna who was still standing in front of his desk. They are indeed not too formal in this position, still relaxed but also do not forget to respect each other.
“Mbak want to go with?” ask Juna.
“Where?” Nabila raised her eyebrows in confusion. One thing about Juna who is also very unique, this man is always sudden and likes to do things unexpectedly.
“That, to this wedding party.”
“Why?”
“Let Mbak not alone, or maybe Mbak already has his own partner to go here? It's better to bring a partner, Ma'am. If you go alone complicated,” said Juna with a smile that seemed sweetest among other smiles.
Nabila replied with a thin smile on his face, is this time he really has become the idol of these young men aka berondong? Nabila is not not ignorant with all the sweet sentences that are thrown by this assistant, he just does not want to care too much. The relationship must remain professional, after all Juna is younger than how many years from him, their differences are very far.
“Not you go with your Mom?” ask Nabila.
“I never said I would go with my mother, Ma'am,” replied Juna.
Yes, Nabila also understands. He just did not understand all the coincidences that recently happened to lead to Juna. Yeah, why would Juna be like that? But, Juna also helped him a lot during this time. He just hope there is no other purpose wanted by this assistant, Nabila will not reply to all that.
“I'll think about it later.”

Yes, her marriage to Reni is going to happen in the near future, and yes, she also approves of what the woman wants, and yes again, she is very conscious when doing so. Do not ask what was on his mind at that time, because it is very sure no one wants to know and there are many people who are very emotional because of that reality. But, it's all happened.
If asked if he was sorry, if he really wanted to change the decision, or if the other, then the answer is yes. Reni's parents knew Reno because of their friendship, and they never knew if Reno had been married or had children and even had a family of her own. All they know, Reno is also a doctor, who definitely has a good reputation.
Thinking of his two children and the peace of his ex-wife's life, Reno agrees with Reni's request. The woman was very cunning and was able to use anything to achieve her wish, Reno certainly did not have much choice. Even it felt very heavy when it came to giving her wedding invitation to Nabila, seeing that expressionless face was like tickling the corner of her heart. How can I atone for that guilt for my ex-wife?
“All preparations for the reception are done, your tuxedo has no problem, right?” asked Reni casually.
Reno simply shook her head as she bribed the fried rice before her without passion. He was like a captive who was being sealed and forced to do whatever the master wanted. That's what's going on, right?
“Excuse me, are you right Reni Aprilia?” ask a woman who is suddenly already at their table.
Reni looked up to look at the woman, she did not recognize him. “Ya, right, can I help you?”
The woman smiled mysteriously and unexpectedly she grabbed the coffee cup on the table and poured the contents into Reni's head. The contents of the cup belonged to Reno and he had not drunk at all, he was very surprised by what the woman did, but he could not do anything either.
Reni screamed hysterically because the coffee was still warm enough and it was like she had an electric shock on her scalp. He had no idea about this woman who suddenly appeared before him and splashed coffee on his head, and many saw this incident, some of which even perpetuated the rare moment with their cell phones.
“How does it feel? Is it really good? I heard the coffee here is very good,” said the woman.
“Who are you? What do you mean do this? I could have reported this to the police for suddenly attacking someone else!” reply Reni hysterical.
Just a small laugh that was thrown by the woman, he seemed to not care about Reni's threat. Report to the authorities? Yes, it can be done after he finishes teaching this disgusting woman a lesson.
“I? Maybe you won't want to or maybe don't know, but I'm the wife of the husband you're cheating on. I'm sure you want to,” replied the woman.
The husband she asked to cheat on? There was only one man he could remember, as they had also done it for quite a long time. Reni looked at the woman cynically behind her hair because of the woman's coffee, she did not know if their relationship would be exposed because she was not
connect with that guy again.
“Why come to me now? Our relationship is long over, and didn't you ask your husband why he cheated on me? It's as if you should know the reason before doing this.”
The woman crossed her hands on her chest and displayed a cynical face, she was not a woman with a fat stature or so, she was beautiful, not inferior to Reni even with just that thin makeup.
“Why are you so pathetic like this? Didn't your parents ever teach you ethics? You are beautiful, but darling, your behavior cannot reflect your face, I feel so sorry for you.”
Reni's face was now completely reddened because the woman's speech before her was very over the line, bringing her parents along. Reni got up from her seat to match the height of the woman and pointed at the woman with her index finger. “ You—“
“Never point me with that dirty finger of yours, you don't deserve that!” Without a cue, the woman pushed back Reni towards her seat very hard. He didn't care if there was a wound he had inflicted because of this, the wound in his heart was worse than this.
“Once infidelity, keep infidelity. Why look for who's wrong because you're still guilty, and you should be aware because you're a woman. If you know that he is not yours, at that very moment you should step back and not be in contact with that man again. Unless you're that low, even
garbage is better than you.”
The woman had already turned around to leave Reni who was very surprised by what had just happened, when she turned around again. He again spilled the spaghetti with cream sauce on the plate on the table to Reni's face again.
“I hear spaghetti won't match coffee, but it fits you perfectly.” And the woman actually left the table.
